The next Charlie Austin? Non-League hitman to go on trial with Swindon
Non-League goalscoring hotshot Jake Tabor looks set to have the chance to impress in the EFL as he will join Swindon Town on a trial this summer. Tabor opted to leave Amersham Town this summer to pursue a higher level of football, having scored 127 goals in 91 appearances in the Combined Counties League Premier Division North, the ninth tier of English football. Advertisement In May, it was revealed that Tabor had agreed to go on trial at a League Two club, a jump of five divisions, and The Moonraker has reported that Swindon will welcome him through their doors once pre-season begins next week. The Adver floated Tabor's name to a source close to the club earlier this summer, and at that point, it seemed likely he would get his shot with Crawley Town or Gillingham, but Holloway has moved to give him a shot in professional football in recent days. Swindon will be hoping that Tabor can emulate the success that Charlie Austin had stepping out of Non-League and scoring goals in the EFL back in 2009/10. Advertisement The former Amersham striker has been on trial with Wycombe Wanderers before, although he did not earn a contract at Adams Park, who were able to turn Richard Kone into a success in the EFL after he joined from Athletic Newham in 2024, after scoring 88 goals in 109 games. Swindon had evaluated multiple Non-League players in January as Holloway looked for an injection of energy into his team, although none reached his standards for fitness, and at that point of the season, it was not feasible to bring them up to speed. The man who has scored more than a century of goals across the last three seasons will have to impress more than those fellow Non-League players in Holloway's famously punishing pre-season running schedule.

Speaking to Chall on YouTube about his journey, Tabor said: 'It all started just playing Sunday football. I have never really played at a great level or in academy football. 'In the last two or three seasons, I have had a massive rise while scoring loads of goals, and following that, I have been getting more attention and more goals. Advertisement 'I think it is about time for a step up. Everyone says, 'He is doing well, but it is at Step Five or Step Six', so now it is time to put myself in a challenging environment and see if I can live up to it. 'Everyone thinks I am a big fish in a small pond, but hopefully I can prove them all wrong.' The striker may now get the chance to show he is worthy of the attention, with Swindon beginning their pre-season against Step Four sides Swindon Supermarine on July 5 and Melksham Town on July 12.

Corey Tabor Announces New Book, History in the Making: 7 Keys to Making History in Your Lifetime
Nationally recognized preacher, speaker, and author Corey Tabor is back with his new book, History in the Making: 7 Keys to Making History in Your Lifetime , releasing on June 22. More than a motivational read, the book is a proven tool built on Tabor's signature methodologies that are actionable frameworks designed to empower readers to take control of their futures and create meaningful impact in their lives and communities. Tabor began his journey as a college minister, mentored over 30 years ago, and developed the 2Ds and the 5Es model through hands-on experience, helping individuals unlock their purpose and shift from potential to purpose-driven action. The 2Ds, Decision and Discipline, form the foundation. "Nothing changes until you decide," says Tabor. "And nothing lasts without discipline." These two forces are essential for movement and momentum. Once a decision is made and discipline is applied, the 5Es come into play: Excellence, Effort, Expectation, Education, and Experience. These are all deeply human elements that can turn ordinary lives into extraordinary legacies. Each principle is a call to action. This release is another tool just like Tabor's previous books, Being: A 30-Day Guide to Being Who God Created You to Be and Prioritize for Your Purpose: Ordering Your Life to Be Extraordinary . He uses these principles in real-time when addressing students, faith communities, and Fortune 500 companies, and now he's put them in the hands of readers for ongoing reference and application. In History in the Making , Tabor distills decades of life lessons, speaking engagements, and mentoring sessions into seven transformational keys for anyone ready to take action. What makes this book unique isn't just its content but its origin: the people. After years of standing ovations and life-changing moments at corporate events, universities, schools, and churches, Tabor was repeatedly asked for something tangible, something people could take home, revisit, and continue learning from. History in the Making is his response to that call. "This book wasn't just written by me; it was pulled from me by the people," Tabor explains. "After speaking engagements, so many would come up and ask, 'Where can I get this in writing?' They didn't want a one-time emotional experience, but a guide they could return to." Designed for dreamers, doers, and anyone at the crossroads of purpose and fear, History in the Making will especially resonate with people from many walks of life: young adults searching for direction, entrepreneurs hesitant to take the next big step, and even leaders trying to make a meaningful impact. Whether from the stage or the page, Tabor's message remains clear: "Graveyards are full of people who died, not making decisions. There are so many dead dreams in the graveyard because people thought they had more time, because they thought they had to get more education, or because they had to get more experience. But doing something teaches you something. Failing forward is better than not trying."

Henri Matisse and Zarigana claim French Classics
Henri Matisse got the better of a thrilling tussle with Jonquil to claim Classic glory in the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Poulains at Longchamp. A strong raiding party crossed the Channel for the French Classic, with Aidan O'Brien's Breeders' Cup hero Henri Matisse at the head of the market following his successful reappearance at Leopardstown at the end of March. Held up off a strong gallop early on by Ryan Moore, the Wootton Bassett colt made his move from the home turn and quickly ate up the ground to grab the lead inside the final two furlongs. Andrew Balding's Greenham Stakes winner Jonquil, who had been ridden more prominently by Oisin Murphy, managed to keep himself in the fight and briefly looked set to come out on top as the post loomed, but Henri Matisse triumphed by a head on the line. The winner returned an industry price of 9-4F and 12-5F on the PMU. ⭕ #ParisLongchamp – Emirates Poule d'Essai des Poulains (Gr I) Henri Matisse (M3 Wootton Bassett) remporte le premier Classique français. Le pensionnaire d'A.P. O'Brien brille pour l'association Magnier, Tabor, Smith et Merriebell. 🥈Jonquil 🥉Camille Pissarro #Emirates #UAE — France Galop (@francegalop) May 11, 2025 O'Brien told Sky Sports Racing: "We were delighted. He's a horse that doesn't like to be in front too long and obviously it was a nice, even pace and we were hoping it was going to be like that because he was going to be ridden back. "When the pace is strong and even, usually if you have the best horse you have a chance. There was going to be no traffic for everybody, but when you're riding back you're never sure you're going to get there. I'm never confident, I'm always hopeful, but Ryan gave him a brilliant ride." O'Brien, claiming his sixth winner of the race and first since St Mark's Basilica struck gold in 2021, also saddled the third home Camille Pissarro, with the Charlie Fellowes-trained Luther not far behind in fourth. Charlie Fellowes described his "heartbreak" after Shes Perfect was demoted from first place in the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches. The daughter of Sioux Nation earned herself a tilt at Classic glory finishing a close second to the reopposing Zarigana in the Prix de la Grotte over the course and distance last month. Zarigana was a hot favourite to confirm her superiority, but just as she had done four weeks ago, Shes Perfect found herself in front from an early stage in the hands of Kieran Shoemark and she had plenty of her rivals on the stretch rounding the home turn. For a few strides the daughter of Sioux Nation looked like a sitting duck in the straight, but to her credit she kept responding to Shoemark's urging and while Zarigana came at her fast and late, Shes Perfect passed the post a nose in front. That sparked scenes of wild celebration, but the joy proved short lived as Zarigana's rider Mickael Barzalona lodged an objection after the race and following an inquiry, the result was amended. Zarigana returned an industry price of 11-10F and 4-5F on the PMU. ⭕ #ParisLongchamp – Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (Gr I) Suspense incroyable ! Shes Perfect franchit le poteau en tête mais, après enquête, est rétrogradée pour avoir gêné Zarigana (F3 Siyouni), qui s'impose pour les Aga Khan Studs. Mandanaba complète le podium #Emirates — France Galop (@francegalop) May 11, 2025 Fellowes said: "Obviously at the moment it's heartbreak more than anything. "I thought I'd won my first Group One and I don't really know what to think at the moment. I've seen the replay and in England I don't think the result would be changed, but we know the French rules are stricter than ours. "There definitely was a bump, but did it affect the result? I don't believe so, but the stewards felt that it did." On whether connections will consider a potential appeal, Fellowes added: "I don't know the rules, I need to get some advice from people that are better placed in France than I am and we'll go from there. "If we think there's any point in appealing then we'll have to consider it, but it's not my area of expertise." France Galop's Samuel Fargeat explained the stewards had assessed two incidents, the first involving Shes Perfect, fourth-placed Exactly and Zarigana, who all appeared to get close, before the last two fillies also came together towards the line. The stewards decided the first incident had impacted the result but the second had not, and Zarigana's trainer Francis-Henri Graffard felt his filly had been "unbalanced at the wrong time". He told Sky Sports Racing: "Obviously it was a tough few minutes and we don't like to win like this and I feel sorry for the connections of Shes Perfect because they had the joy, but this is sport and this is racing and it has happened to me in the past. "To be fair, my filly, when she came, she got really unbalanced at the wrong time and in the end it was only a nose. "It was a decision in the stewards' room, but I'm very happy for this filly especially. There was a lot of expectation and she deserves a win like that. It would have been very frustrating to be second and beaten a nose and for the team at home it's really good. "It's quite hard to really enjoy it, it's more like relief than proper joy." Zarigana could now make an appearance at Royal Ascot, with her trainer adding: "We'll have to discuss it, I'm not sure she needs to be stepped up in trip, so if we decide to stick to a mile we'll go to Ascot for the Coronation Stakes with her."

‘Militantropos' Acquired by Square Eyes Ahead of Premiere in Cannes' Directors' Fortnight (EXCLUSIVE)
Sales agent Square Eyes has acquired worldwide rights to the Ukrainian feature documentary 'Militantropos,' directed by Alina Gorlova ('This Rain Will Never Stop'), Yelizaveta Smith ('School Number 3') and Simon Mozgovyi ('The Winter Garden's Tale'), ahead of its world premiere in Cannes' Directors' Fortnight program. Wouter Jansen of Square Eyes said 'Militantropos' is 'a powerful and touching cinematic meditation on the impact of war on everyday life.' More from Variety Cannes Directors' Fortnight Unveils 2025 Lineup, Including Christian Petzold's 'Miroirs No. 3,' Eva Victor's 'Sorry, Baby,' Robin Campillo's 'Enzo' Cannes Section ACID Announces Selection, From a 'Feel-Good Movie About Depression' to a New Drama With Paris Olympics 'Blue Man' Sundance Festival Favorite Doc 'Come See Me in the Good Light' Lands at Apple TV+ The script is written by Smith, Gorlova, Mozgovyi and Maksym Nakonechnyi, who directed and co-wrote 'Butterfly Vision,' selected for Cannes' Un Certain Regard in 2022. 'Militantropos' refers to the Latin word for soldier ('milit') and the Greek word for human ('antropos'), meaning a persona adopted by humans when entering a state of war. 'This relentless experience shapes the ongoing transformation of individuals and society as a whole, therefore Militantropos chooses to accept war as the one and only option to exist,' according to a statement. 'Militantropos' explores 'human experience in war—those who flee, who lose their homes, those who stay to take up arms and learn to fight. Through the absence of a main protagonist, the film balances individual and collective experiences, emphasizing their relationships and the transformation of their everyday lives,' the statement added. 'It follows people's reaction to hostilities, atrocities and destruction, the transformation of their everyday lives, public interaction and spaces they live in.' The film is produced by Eugene Rachkovsky for Ukrainian film collective Tabor, also behind 'Butterfly Vision,' in co-production with Ralph Wieser for Austria's Mischief Films and Nabil Bellahsene for France's Les Valseurs. Rachkovsky stated: 'Our collective started filming as a reflex on the first day of the full-scale invasion. After 11 years of working as a collective and experiencing the war side by side, it felt natural to make a collective document of time and explore war as a phenomenon.' Wieser added: 'We were intrigued by [Tabor's] approach from our first virtual meeting. Creative filmmakers offering an extraordinary perspective on Ukraine at war.' Bellahsene said: 'War is not just a geopolitical event, it's a human experience, brutal and intimate. That's why the work of Tabor, a Ukrainian collective of filmmakers, immediately felt essential to us. Their gaze, deeply anchored in lived experience and artistic integrity, offers a powerful and necessary narrative of this moment in history.' 'Militantropos' received support from the Austrian Film Institute, Vienna Film Fund, ÖFI+, Creative Europa Media, Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport, Special Aid for Ukrainian Artists, the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine in partnership with the CNC, SWR and Arte. Initial support was provided by the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program with support from Open Society Foundations, the European Solidarity Fund for Ukrainian Films, IDFA Bertha Fund, Ukrainian Film Academy's Post-Production Grant Program in partnership with Netflix, the Ukrainian Institute and Eurimages, Visions Sud Est, Goeteborg Film Fund, IMW: Documenting Ukraine, and Deutsche Filmakademie (Filmboost Germany). The project was developed and presented at Berlinale Talents, Visions du Réel and IDFA.
