Me and you RoryThomas in the tournament final.

Bristol Rovers and Crawley Town have been relegated from League One following Burton Albion's 1-1 draw against Wigan Athletic.

Ronan Darcy cancelled out Rumarn Burrell's opener for the hosts at at Pirelli Stadium but the result was enough to leave Rovers and Crawley four points behind the 20th-placed Brewers heading into the final round of matches on Saturday.

Rovers' fate was all-but sealed with defeat by Reading last weekend, and while Crawley have won four out of eight games since the return of manager Scott Lindsey in March - they too have ultimately fallen short.

Relegation ends Rovers' two-season spell in the division, while Crawley are back in League Two having secured promotion via the play-offs last term to play third-tier football for only the second time.

All four relegation places in League One have been decided before the concluding games of the 2024-25 season, with Shrewsbury Town and Cambridge United also dropping down.

League One champions Birmingham City broke the Football League record for most points in a season with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Blackpool.

Goals from Ethan Laird and Alfie May ensured Blues moved on to 108 points for the campaign and beat Reading's 2005-06 Championship haul of 106 with a game to spare.

Birmingham, who had surpassed Wolves' record third-tier tally of 103 last weekend, can finish the season on 111 points with a win at relegated Cambridge United in their final match on Saturday.

The victory was City's 33rd league win of the season and they have now won 14 away matches, bettering the previous club best mark of 13 established in 1984-85.

Despite joyously celebrating their first record on Sunday in front of their own fans at St Andrew's, Birmingham never looked like suffering a hangover against their former gaffer Steve Bruce.

Goalkeeper Harry Tyrer denied Willum Willumsson and Laird before the latter headed the visitors in front after 39 minutes from Marc Leonard's in-swinging corner.

May doubled the advantage with his 17th goal of the season six minutes after the restart to seal victory.

The world's oldest person, Brazilian nun Sister Inah Canabarro Lucas, has died at the age of 116.

Born on 8 June 1908 in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, Inah Canabarro Lucas became a Catholic nun in her early 20s.

Her family said she always celebrated her birthday with a cake in the shape of the stadium of her beloved Sport Club Internacional - Porto Alegre's football team.

Sister Inah, who was blessed by Pope Francis in 2018, put her longevity down to her faith, saying that "he [God] is the secret to life". The title of the oldest living person will now pass to 115-year-old Ethel Caterham from Surrey in England.

Sister Inah's nephew said the 116-year-old had not had any illness but her body "had gradually stopped" working. She died in the city of Porto Alegre at a home belonging to the Teresian Sisters, the religious community she was part of.

A keen football fan, she had celebrated her 116th birthday wearing the scarf of her favourite team.

She also owned several Internacional shirts and even had a collection of pillows adorned with the team's logo, according to media reports.

Sport Club Internacional posted a message of condolence on X, external, saying it had learned "with enormous sadness of her passing" and celebrated her life, which it said was based on kindness, faith and love of the football club.

Sister Rita Fernandes Barbosa, a co-ordinator at the religious home where Sister Inah lived, told RBS TV that the 116-year-old had enjoyed good health for most of her life.

Sister Rita said the nun had not had any surgeries until she underwent a cataract operation aged 106.

Her family said that she could not hear or see very well towards the end of her life but that she enjoyed sticking to a routine.

"She liked to get up, eat, and pray and sleep at the same time each day," her relatives told Brazilian TV.

A fellow Teresian nun said that Sister Inah "never complained".

"She is very grateful, and good-humoured," Sister Terezinha Aragon told Brazilian TV in January, when Sister Inah became the world's oldest person after the death of the previous holder of the title, Japanese woman Tomiko Itooka at the age of 116.

Born on 8 June 1908, Sister Inah had a religious vocation from early on in her life, joining a religious boarding school at the age of 16.

She lived in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo, for some time before taking her vows but returned to Brazil in 1930, where she taught Portuguese and maths at a school in Rio.

Sister Rita put the 116-year-old's longevity down to discipline.

"Discipline in her work and in her life, she always worked a lot and was always very sociable and welcoming."

Leyton Orient made sure of a play-off place as they ran out convincing winners away to Huddersfield.

Bradford City claimed a dramatic late victory over Fleetwood Town to win promotion to League One after six seasons.

It looked like the Bantams, who started the day in third, were destined to drop into the play-offs but Antoni Sarcevic redirected a George Lapslie shot into the bottom corner with just seconds to play.

Elated home fans then streamed on to the pitch and it took over 15 minutes for the game to then be completed, with the players initially being taken off the field.

The final whistle was blown shortly after they returned to the pitch to allow the celebrations to begin in earnest.

They join Doncaster and Port Vale in being automatically promoted to League One.

Northern Ireland and Aston Villa legend Peter McParland has died at the age of 91.

The forward, who won 34 caps, holds the record for most goals scored for his country in World Cup finals, with five at the 1958 tournament as they reached the quarter-finals.

McParland was also revered at Villa, where he scored 121 goals in 341 appearances. He scored twice in a 2-1 victory against Manchester United in the 1957 FA Cup final - the last time the club lifted the trophy.

"Aston Villa Football Club is profoundly saddened to learn that Peter McParland, the last surviving member of the club's 1957 FA Cup-winning team, has passed away," said the club in a statement.

"The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Peter's family and loved ones at this extremely difficult time."

McParland began his career with Dundalk before he was signed by Villa in 1952, spending close to 10 years with the club.

As well as the FA Cup win, McParland helped Villa to the Second Division title in 1959-60.

The following year, he scored the extra-time winner which secured a 3-2 aggregate victory over Rotherham United in the inaugural League Cup final.

McParland also had spells with Wolves, Plymouth Argyle and Worcester City in England, as well as Toronto Inter-Roma in Canada and US side Atlanta Chiefs.

He finished his career with Northern Irish side Glentoran, spending three years as player-manager and winning the league in 1969-70 before retiring in 1971.

McParland netted twice on his Northern Ireland debut against Wales and went on to score eight more goals during an eight-year international career.

"Our thoughts and best wishes are with the family and friends of Peter McParland who has passed away.

"Peter represented Northern Ireland with distinction, in particular at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden. The last of our heroes from that famous era," said a statement from Northern Ireland.
