Birmingham moved out of the Premier League relegation zone after holding Everton to a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening.
Birmingham opened the scoring in the 17th minute through Jean Beausejour's header, which Tim Howard got a hand to but could not keep out.

John Heitinga levelled 10 minutes before the interval, making the most of a failed clearance from a corner by firing in a fierce side-footed effort that left Ben Foster with no chance.
The home side looked by far the more likely to break the deadlock in the second period but could not find a winner as Alex McLeish's team secured a point which takes them up to 17th in the table, with West Ham dropping back into the bottom three.
Everton made the first foray forward in the third minute and Mikel Arteta - named skipper for the night in the absence of hamstring victim Phil Neville - might have shot when he reached the edge of the box but passed the ball to Louis Saha, who lost control.
Birmingham then went close as Cameron Jerome got a header to Sebastian Larsson's free-kick, Howard doing well to push the effort away.
Arteta's involvement came to an abrupt end soon after when he appeared to sustain a hamstring problem of his own while in a chase with Larsson.
Toffees boss David Moyes brought on Seamus Coleman for the Spanish midfielder and Phil Jagielka took over the captaincy, while the visitors were also forced into an early substitution as David Bentley came off for David Murphy.
Everton enjoyed a spell of pressure, with Leon Osman heading a Tony Hibbert cross into the turf for Foster to catch and Jermaine Beckford stinging the Blues goalkeeper's palms.
Osman was next to bring a save out of Foster with a rising drive, but a minute later Birmingham had the lead.
Young midfielder Jordon Mutch swung in a cross and Beausejour beat Hibbert to it with a header that Howard clipped with his glove but could not prevent from crossing the line.
Everton looked to hit back, but Beckford could only send the ball over the bar with his back to goal having met a Jack Rodwell delivery.
The former Leeds striker then failed to connect with Coleman's through-ball, which instead bounced off Stephen Carr towards goal but Foster was on hand to avert the danger.

The hosts continued to press and found their reward in the 35th minute as Heitinga rifled in the equaliser.
Jerome made a hash of clearing Osman's corner and the ball fell to Heitinga, who swept it into the roof of the net from outside the area.
There was no sign of any let-up from Everton as Rodwell drilled a low effort into the arms of Foster, who then caught a diving header from Coleman.
At the other end, Jerome twisted and turned but his shot across goal went wide and Lee Bowyer struck an attempt at Howard just before half-time.
Everton were quick to settle after the restart and might have had a penalty claim when Foster seemed to clatter Coleman as he came out to punch away a cross, although play continued.
Moments later Saha's pleas that he was being held by Liam Ridgewell as he nodded a corner over the bar were to no avail.
Coleman then cut into the area to unleash an effort that was well off target, but once again the home side were in the ascendancy.
A slip by Roger Johnson let in Saha, but the Frenchman chose to turn rather than shoot early and the effort he did get away cannoned off Mutch.
Play switched and Mutch was allowed the space to shoot wide from distance, but it was Beckford who then found himself in another good position, only to hit his shot into Foster's body.
McLeish sent on Nikola Zigic for Jerome to provide fresh attacking impetus and the Serbian teed up Murphy, who horribly sliced his attempt at goal.
Moyes then also made a change up front, replacing Beckford with Victor Anichebe, before Osman tried a spectacular curling effort which was helped over the bar by Foster.
Anichebe managed to shoot on the turn as he we was falling towards the end, but it did little to trouble Foster and the game finished all square.

Bale is one of the hottest properties in world football following his exploits in the Champions League with Spurs this season.
The likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan have all been credited with an interest in the Welshman and former Spurs man Boateng expects all of Europe's top clubs to be in for him over the summer.
"Gareth was the player all the Milan players have been talking about, because of his pace and left foot," Boateng told The Mirror.
"When I played here there were talents like Gareth and Aaron Lennon, but they have improved a lot.
"I think the whole of Europe is after Gareth, because he is a great player.
"The way he played against Inter was impressive and everyone said: 'Who is this player? We need to get him.'
"I think it will be difficult for Tottenham to keep him but he is feeling good here in London, so we will see in the summer what is going to happen.
"With his quality, his pace and his strength, he could do well in any league."

Harry Redknapp believes Ledley King's lack of training is "starting to catch up on him" as he struggles to reach full fitness for Tottenham.

A well-documented knee condition means that King is not able to train as normal with his team-mates.
The 30-year-old, who has not played for Spurs since October 16, was a surprise inclusion on the bench for Wednesday night's Champions League clash with AC Milan following a recent groin problem.
But Redknapp has suggested that the defender was not 100 per cent fit and that his recent setbacks are linked to his inability to maintain his overall fitness levels on the training field.
"He's got a problem with his groin and I'm not sure, really," the Spurs boss said. "I took a gamble with him on Wednesday night, but I don't know.
"He's got away with not training all week and playing on Saturday but I think it's starting to catch up on him now. You can't keep doing that for ever, you have to train.
"It's crazy that you can not train once all week and then come in on a Saturday and be the best player.
"Now he's finding it more difficult - suddenly he's starting to pick up a few more injures.
"We're just keeping our fingers crossed for him and Jonathan Woodgate, because they're two fantastic centre-halves.
"We're lucky that Michael Dawson has been brilliant and William Gallas has come in for us and done a great job for us as well."

Zenden current contract expires at the end of the season, but Bruce believes the former Liverpool and Chelsea star still has a lot to offer.
The 34-year-old has made 21 appearances in the Premier League this season, albeit mostly as a substitute, and Bruce is keen to keep him on Wearside.
"We'll look at a contract for him in the next week or so," he said.
"I've already had a little conversation with him because his physical stats haven't deteriorated at all since the start of the season.
"In fact he's done very well. He's still got a lot to offer this club.
"He's a great asset for the club and we'd like to hang on to him for longer, which is why we're looking at a new contract for him."
Zenden has yet to decide if he will sign the new deal on offer as it depends on how much he will be playing next season.
The midfielder admits it has been frustrating playing a bit-part role as he wants to be a regular in Bruce's plans.
"The issue is how much a part I have to play," Zenden told the Daily Mail.
"I've played quite a lot this season but some of the appearances have been for the last five minutes, which is not so nice.
"I don't just want to be here to be here, I want to be important as well. I'm having a good time. I don't feel old. I still feel like one of the boys."
 
Simba, Yanga majaribuni leo

Imeandikwa na Mwandishi Wetu; Tarehe: 11th March 2011 @ 23:59 Imesomwa na watu: 281; Jumla ya maoni: 0








LEO ni zamu ya AFC Arusha kujaribu kuitibulia Simba katika mbio zake za kutetea ubingwa wa Ligi Kuu Tanzania Bara.

Sio tu kuitibulia Simba, lakini pia AFC mchezo huo una umuhimu kwake katika harakati za kujinasua kwenye balaa la kushuka daraja, ambapo hadi sasa inashika nafasi ya mwisho kwenye msimamo wa ligi ikiwa na pointi 11 kati ya mechi 18 ilizocheza.

AFC ili ibaki Ligi Kuu inatakiwa ishinde michezo yake iliyobaki, huku ikiombea timu nyingine zilizopo chini kwenye msimamo wa ligi hiyo ambazo ni Majimaji ya Songea yenye pointi 12 na Ruvu Shooting yenye pointi 15 ziharibu kwenye mechi zao.

Kwa mazingira hayo kama AFC leo itafungwa basi itazidi kujikatia tiketi ya kushuka daraja, wakati Simba nayo ikishinda itazidi kukaa kileleni kwenye msimamo wa ligi hiyo.

Simba inaongoza ligi ikiwa na pointi 41 kwa michezo 18 ikifuatiwa na Yanga yenye pointi 39 na Azam yenye pointi 36.

Mchezo mwingine leo utakuwa Uwanja wa Taifa, Dar es Salaam ambapo Yanga itachuana na JKT Ruvu mchezo unaotarajiwa kuwa mkali na wa kusisimua.

Kama Yanga ikishinda leo, kisha Simba ikapoteza ni wazi miamba hiyo itakuwa imekamata usukani wa ligi hiyo, lakini kama Simba ikishinda kisha Yanga ikatoka sare ama kupoteza itakuwa inaipa nafasi kubwa Simba kutetea kombe lake.

Lakini JKT Ruvu si timu ya kubeza, ambapo mpaka sasa inashika nafasi ya sita kwenye msimamo ikiwa na pointi 25 na mara nyingi inapokutana na Yanga mchezo unakuwa wa vuta nikuvute.

Mchezo mwingine wa ligi hiyo leo ni kati ya Ruvu Shooting na Majimaji utakaofanyika Uwanja wa Majimaji Songea, ukihusisha timu mbili ambazo zote zipo kwenye balaa la kushuka daraja.
