Western Force have appointed former assistant Dave Wessels as senior coach for the next two Super Rugby seasons, while skipper Matt Hodgson is on the verge of re-signing.Wessels replaces Michael Foley, who was sacked in June following the clubs disastrous 2016 campaign.At 33 years of age, Wessels is the youngest current coach in Super ranks, but he has vast experience of the Force after spending the past four years there.Its believed the strong support of the Force player group had a key role in getting Wessels over the line, along with his intimate knowledge of the challenges facing the Perth-based franchise.Wessels will be charged with helping transform a squad that has already lost key players Kyle Godwin, Alby Mathewson, Nathan Charles, Steve Mafi, and Chris Alcock.Wessels started his professional coaching career in 2008 when he became a defence consultant at the Stormers.He also spent time at the University of Cape Town and the Brumbies, before linking up with the Force in 2013.Wessels said despite his young age, he was ready for a senior coaching role.In this job, its the opposite of the Benjamin Button effect, Wessels said.So you age a lot quicker than normal. So by the end of next week, Ill be in my mid-50s, and no one will bring it up again.Ive lived the breathed the unique challenges the Force faces.Ive been part of trying to overcome those challenges in the last couple of years, and I have some ideas of how we may do that going forward.Hodgsons future was up in the air once Foley was sacked.But Force chief executive Mark Sinderberry says the 35-year-old will play on next season, and will also be offered a role as part of the clubs coaching staff in the coming years.

Tom Rathman Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. HARRISON, N.J. -- Tim Cahill scored on a header off a crossing pass in second half stoppage time, lifting the New York Red Bulls to a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday. It was the fifth win in the last six games for the Red Bulls (7-4-3). Through the first eight games of the 2013 season, Cahill, one of the teams high-paid designated players at $3.6 million this season, did not find the net. He drew criticism from fans and media, "But he was never criticized here," Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke said It marked the fourth goal in the last five games for Cahill, who is playing like the dominant offensive force the franchise thought they were getting last year. "I cant say enough about Tim," Petke said. "Now hes scoring goals and everyone says hes playing great. Well, I always thought he was playing great." Cahill managed to get behind the wall of Galaxy defenders to perfectly head home a crossing pass from Juninho for the game winner. "Im just happy to score," Cahill said. "I knew where Juninho was going to put it, I knew it was going to be dangerous and it was just a matter of getting contact. Its good when you seem to have a chance to produce in big games and Ive managed to come up for us lately, so its nice." Luis Robles made three saves to record his fourth shutout of the season. "It was a silly free kick and they played the ball into the box," said Los Angeles goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini, who made two saves, but couldnt stop the game-winner. "Once the ball got into the box, I dont know what happened, because I couldnt see with all the players jumping in front of me." Cudicini and teammate Landon Donovan were upset after the setback. "Its disappointing, because I dont think we deserved to lose," Cudicini said. "We had the better chances. Its terrible that were going home with nothing." "They made the play that mattered down the stretch," Donovan said. "It wasnt a game of great chances, but we had a few." In the 76th minute, the Galaxy (5-4-2) had two great chances, both from Gyasi Zardes. On the first attempt, Red Bulls ddefender Jamison Olave, who had a brilliant all-around game, made a sliding tackle to knock the ball away.dddddddddddd Two minutes later, Zardes fired a right-footed blast from 10 yards out that Robles punched aside. The Galaxy had another great chance, when Zardes crossing pass went directly to Keanes head, who directed it just wide left of the goal in the 89th minute. The Red Bulls had two decent opportunities in the early portion of the second half, when Fabian Espindola and Cahill both fired long shots that sailed wide left within four minutes of each other. Espindola had yet another great chance, but his left-footed shot from 35 yards out bounced once into the arms of goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini. The Galaxy then dominated play for the next 10 minutes. Landon Donovan fired a right-footed blast from 19 yards out that sailed over the crossbar in the 61st minute. The first half was played in a steady rain and featured few scoring chances. The Red Bulls had the better of the opportunities, both created by Espindola. In the 27th minute, Espindola perfectly split two defenders to get a clear path to the goal. He went right in on Cudicini and drew the goalie away from the box. But Espindolas soft shot was eventually kicked aside by Galaxy defender A.J. DeLaGarza before it reached the goal line. Five minutes later, Espindola unleashed a left-footed blast that Cudicini corralled. The Galaxy had their best chances in the final minute and added time. In the 44th minute, Robbie Keane was brought down from 30 yards out, awarding Los Angeles a direct free kick. Keane took the free kick and the bending high shot was punched aside by Robles. Two minutes later, Todd Dunivant took a left-footed shot from 10 yards out that Robles secured, keeping the scoreless tie into intermission. "We had a better understanding in the second half," Petke said. "We came out and took it to them with a little bit of a bite." Defender Jamison Olave had a sensational day, making several key stops, some even from behind. "He reads the game and has good catch-up speed," Petke said. "He makes plays, times it and does it well." ' ' '
