The last day of British horse racing until at least the end of April saw Wetherby and Taunton stage meetings behind closed doors.

Fergal O'Brien made the journey north to Wetherby from his Gloucestershire base and it was a successful one as Global Fame (8-13 favourite) landed the odds in the Racing TV-sponsored Novices' Hurdle.

Glencassley, trained by Charlie Longsdon and ridden by Aidan Coleman, won the closing bumper as the 9-4 favourite.

In friendly matches, Karlstad beat fellow Swedish side Nordvarmland 4-2, Kalmar defeated Orebro 4-1, while in Russia Lipetsk and Zvezda Perm drew 1-1.

In the Bahrian Premier League, a late goal from Abdulla Abdo saw Al-Muharraq draw 1-1 at home against Al Riffa, who had taken an early lead through midfielder Mohamed Marhoon.

In Tanzania's Ligi Kuu Bara, it finished 0-0 between Tanzania Prisons and Mbao – who had a player sent off during stoppage time.

Basketball

There was Super Ligi basketball action in Turkey as well , with Anadolu Efes beating Bursaspor 86-55.
