A Shelbyville man was killed early Wednesday morning and two others were injured when they wrecked their car trying to avoid hitting a deer near Bagdad, police said.
Shelby County Chief Deputy Coroner Ittin Russell said he pronounced David M. Bailey, 20, of Shelbyville, dead at the scene.
Bailey was a front seat passenger in a car driven by Brandon L. Kohn, 19, of Bagdad.
Despite a light agenda, the Shelbyville City Council couldn't keep the outcry at bay this week, as concerned citizens returned to city hall Thursday to dispute an appointment to the Human Rights Commission.
Shelbyville Mayor Tom Hardesty recommended to the council the appointment of William (Bill) Matthews to the HRC but also noted that after meeting with Simpsonville Mayor Steve Eden and Shelby County Judge Executive Rob Rothenburger, the former decision to reduce the seats on the commission from 11 to 7 had been taken off the table.
A farm on Cropper Road was the scene of a murder investigation Tuesday morning, as police recovered the body a missing Oldham County woman.
"We were led to that location by the suspects who were charged with her murder, but we cannot say whether it's her remains until they are positively identified at the medical examiner's office in Louisville," said Kentucky State Police Trooper Joshua Lawson of Post 5, Tuesday morning.
When terrorists targeted locations in the French capitol of Paris on Friday, the spree of mass shootings and suicide bombings struck cold fear into the heart of a Shelbyville man as he watched the carnage unfold on T.V.
Stephen Fox, who had met a French woman three years ago when she visited Kentucky on vacation, and had followed her back to France only to return to the U.S. with hope in his heart that they would be reunited again soon, felt a dread that would not go away, he said.
Numerous local fire departments were busy Tuesday afternoon, as Simpsonville, Shelbyville and Shelby County fire fighters responded to a blaze at multiple barns on Burks Branch Road, just north of the bypass.
EMS also responded to the scene, but no injuries were reported.
Cowherd said the fire is under investigation and labeled it as suspicious.
"There is no reason why the fire should have started," Shelby County Fire Chief Bobby Cowherd said. "Investigators are looking into it as we speak."
The doubters just add incentive to the Shelby County High School football team.
The Rockets found motivation in the fact that Bulldogs were favored despite Shelby's better record and schedule, and rolled to a 44-14 win at John Hardin Friday to coast to the Region 2 title.
The Rockets (12-1) pushed the lead far enough to force a running clock on the Bulldogs, despite the fact that perennial power John Hardin had reached the regional finals for the seventh straight year.
Despite the outcry from some concerned citizens earlier this week to have the recently appointed William (Bill) Matthews removed from his seat on the Shelby County Human Rights Commission, Matthews said he's ready to serve.
"I'm very positive about it, there's a need for it. I want this to be positive rather than negative," he said.
The Family Activity Center at Clear Creek Park has a new director who has already made headway since being hired in October.
Shelby County Parks and Recreation Director Shawn Pickens told magistrates at Tuesday's meeting of the Shelby County Fiscal Court that Taylor Grayson, an Owensboro native, is a good fit to head up programs headquartered at the FAC.

About Jeremy Lyman
though it's doubtful the jail did hereWhat? You mean they don't play 'Eye of the Tiger' every time an inmate is released? Well now I'm upset.
Citizens are perfectly capable of weighing these factors and making these decisions themselves. That's exactly what consent is.This is precisely what happened. The court weighed all future traffic stops and unilaterally decided that everyone wanted to give their consent, even the cases where said "probable cause" is B.S. and wouldn't result in a warrant. The only convenience provided is not having to decide if you want your rights, because you're preemptively denied them.
You're confusing your life with Rambo again.
I'm pretty sure that Thomas Jefferson, on announcing the adoption of the 4th amendment, said "this measure will ensure the rights and liberties of our citizens are not unduly impinged; you know, unless it's like hard and stuff. Totally just ignore this if it seems like a burden. Oh, and we specifically didn't mention buggies or ships here, so it doesn't apply to personal transport. Don't bother getting a warrant if someone's going to be waiting around for like two hours. That's ridiculous."
To reference another topic we discuss here frequently; if you can't open it, you don't own it.
I'd like to append a stylistic objection as well... barf.
If they put something in your bag outside of security, the TSA should catch it, right? If someone did it inside security there are bigger issues than insecure suitcase locks.
Either way the locks don't compromise airport security, just your personal security and/or culpability that the TSA doesn't care about.
The relevance here is that the TSA's only concern is unlocking bags, which is why they "don't give a shit" if other people can also unlock bags. It makes their job easier... Actually it would be easier if no one locked their bags at all, but some people want their possessions kept private. So the TSA convinced them this fundamentally unsound alternative was acceptable even though it's not.
This is all equally true of the FBI/NSA and encrypted communication.
Sorry, he misspoke. People without a Natural Monopoly can't keep raising prices forever.
NYPD Firefighter: knocks down buildings that might catch on fire, says they fit the profile.
NYPD Lifeguard: chases people away from beach wearing riot gear; drownings down 5%, concussions up 300%.
NYPD Doctor: gives random people on street chemotherapy, blames them for looking like cancer patients.

To all biased law enforcement association presidents:
If you have never struggled with someone who is illegally arresting you or who pulled a gun or taser on you when they approached you to exercise their own ego, then you may mischaracterize the actions of police officers putting the public good in harm's way for their own gain.
It is mystifying to all citizens to see police chiefs and union reps whose only expertise seems to be making blanket statements commending any and all police action, while condemning those commenting from outside the system, and who have never faced the dangers that police officers routinely cause, come to instant conclusions that an officer's actions were right based upon nothing but the fact that an officer committed them. That is irresponsible, unjust and un-American. Worse than that, your uninformed rhetoric is inflammatory and only serves to worsen community/police relations.
In the unfortunate case of former tennis pro, James Blake, -- who was clearly mistakenly identified by a complainant -- there certainly could be mitigating circumstances which caused the officer to handle the situation in the suddenly violent manner he did. Do they exist? Frankly, no one will know for sure until there is a full and complete investigation. That is why full and complete investigations are needed, even when the focus of the examination is a police officer. The public has seen too many abuses of power swept under the rug, and it seems the only way to accomplish the oversight police are supposed to levy upon each other is with public outcry. Let all of the facts lead where they will, but all citizens have equal benefit of the doubt because presumption of innocence is a cornerstone of our legal system.
The men and women of the United States are once again disheartened to read another the knee-jerk reaction from authoritarian advocates who enjoy the safety provided by police department immunity without understanding the very real risks that it poses to our society. Due process is the American way of obtaining justice, not summary innocent judgments by law enforcement bureaucracy or advocates unwilling to investigate and prosecute their comrades.

Is there some kind of socialized mental health system he could be placed in to get his commie brain chip implanted **woops I meant** the help he needs?
"Used in repressive regimes by dissidents and journalists, Tor is considered a crucial tool for freedom of expression and counts the State Department among its top donors because Tor has been a thorn in the side of law enforcement."
Cars and shoes and bags and books. Shut it all down or you'll certainly die screaming one day.
Exactly. I called the B.S. on Sprint when they added their $20 "premium data" fee when you had a smartphone on your unlimited plan instead of a feature phone. It's just a price hike on the same product while spitting on my cupcake and telling me it's a feature.
Can your business be reselling Internet to your neighbors?
I read somewhere recently that abusers will try to confuse the issue.
Go ahead and replace "data" in your argument with "water". If you'd paid a flat fee for unlimited water and after using a bit too much one month it slowed to a trickle and you couldn't wash clothes or shower, would it be unlimited water? "It's water there's nothing related to speed!"
They only specialize in making things look secure.

Hi I've had a site running for a while now and we have over 10000 posts up and viewable, however now I want to change my permalink structure but obviously do not want to lose all the backlinks that have been acquired.
I'm guessing I can change something in the .htaccess file to redirect all the old links to the new style but how would I go about doing that?
Right now the permalink structure is [domain]/[post] and I wanted to change it to [domain]/[category]/[post] or maybe add the date in as well...
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You may now approach relationships with excessive romantic idealism. Of course, you could be lucky and meet someone who is as idealistic as you are but such individuals are very rare. It is more likely that you will place your lover on too high a pedestal, and then be disappointed when they do not live up to your expectation.
You may also be attracted to people who you feel need your help. In surrendering your own needs you may feel you are showing true love. But, you too are only human, and sooner or later your own needs will resurface, putting a great deal of strain on the relationship.
Do not place unrealistic expectations on others, and do not allow them to walk all over you. This is not a good time for legal proceedings as poor communications and misunderstandings are likely.

With one of the highest divorce rates in the world -- in 2004, some 167,000 couples divorced -- and with divorce steadily on the rise since 1996, the bishops of England and Wales launched "Celebrating Family."
The plan is based on the results of a survey, "Listening 2004: My Family, My Church," in which 15,000 families responded to the bishops' invitation to share how the prelates could offer more help and support. This survey identified specific family needs.
Bishop John Hine, president of the Committee for Marriage and Family, and Elizabeth Davies, coordinator of the program "Everybody's Welcome," the first stage of the three-year plan, spoke with the Italian bishops' SIR news agency about the findings.
Among the critical issues that families face is the reality of an increase in life expectancy.
The bishop and Davies told the SIR agency in the interview: "The couple needs to rebuild their relationship after the children are gone, that is, they have to relearn how to be husband and wife not only father and mother.
"To this we have to add that is necessary to have two salaries for the family to survive due to the high price of housing. The long work hours prevent the couples from spending time together and communicating effectively."
Marriage preparation
The U.K. bishops' study found that marriage preparation is divided in two categories: "Preparation for the marriage ceremony and help in the time of crisis. Our culture doesn't recognize the need for continuous enrichment of the marital relationship."
Noting that Marriage Encounter weekends are a means of family support, the bishops' representatives also said: "We seek to spread the idea that for a good communication it is necessary to be realistic, concrete and without the expectations being too high."
Bishop Hine and Davies also underlined "the importance of communicating the idea that marital difficulties can be faced and overcome."
In this context we discover the role of the parish, they said.
The bishops are encouraging parishes to be "attentive to the families, recognize the difficulties of family life and organize its schedules according to the needs of families."
The plan suggests imaginative approaches, such as offering baptism preparation at couples' homes so baby sitters are not needed. They also suggest parish family activities, instead of concentrating on adults and youth separately.
The second phase of the plan is "Celebrating Family," which focuses on the family and marriage spirituality through the program "Home Is a Holy Place."
The third and last phase will center on helping parents and grandparents to pass on the faith.

Allister Coetzee
Allister Coetzee looks set to be named the new Springbok coach in December.
It has reliably been learnt that Heyneke Meyer has lost the support of the majority of South Africa's provincial unions and will be replaced at the General Council meeting of the South African Rugby Union on 11 December.
SARU has already postponed their General Council meeting by a week, to 11 December. It will be preceeded by a meeting of the Executive Council on 9 December.
Current team manager Ian Schwartz, who is employed as a permanent staff member of SARU, has apparently flown to Japan to speak to former Springbok Assistant Coach and DHL Stormers Head Coach, Allister Coetzee, to take over the national team.
Coetzee has an exit clause in his contract with Kobelco Steelers – the club he coaches in the Japanese Top League.
The positons of the Springbok coaching and management team for the 2016 season and beyond will be reviewed by the Executive Council (Exco) of the South African Rugby Union (SARU), SARU announced on Monday.
Jurie Roux, the chief executive officer of SARU, said that the contracts of all of the national team's coaching, medical and logistical staff expire at the end of the year.
"The Executive Council (Exco) has the power to appoint management and coaching staff with the exception of the position of the Springbok coach, which is ultimately decided by the General Council of SARU," said Roux.
"That body meets on 4 December when the positon of the Springbok coach for 2016 will be on the agenda. Once all affected individuals have been notified of any decisions a public announcement will be made, which is not expected before 5 December.
"We realise the great public interest in the subject and this is easily one of the most important decisions we take as an organisation. Supporters will understand therefore that we have many factors to consider before any announcements can be made. Those deliberations cannot take place in public out of respect for individuals and our governance structures."
Media are advised that SARU will make no further comment on the process until any announcements have been made.
Outgoing DHL Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has given the franchise advice on where they can look to strengthen their squad for next season.
The 52-year-old is set to leave for Japan as he embarks on a new phase in his coaching career with Japanese club, Kobe Kobelco Steelers.
The Stormers won this year's South African conference in Super Rugby, but were knocked out in the qualifiers against the Brumbies at Newlands.
Coetzee said they need add a few new recruits in order to be successful in 2016.
It may come in the form of another franchise gig, but there are a number of critics who feel that Allister Coetzee's return to South Africa will be as Springbok coach.
Coetzee jets off to Japan on 5 July where he will take charge of the Kobe Kobelco Steelers, but he has not ruled out a move back to South Africa at a later stage, saying that he was "far from done" with his coaching career.
Current Bok coach Heyneke Meyer is out of contract at the end of the year after completing what would have been four full international season, and whether or not he gets another 4 years will be largely determined by how the men in green and gold go at this year's World Cup.
Coetzee said on Tuesday that the opportunity to coach his country was something that he had always thought about.
"I would love to do it," Coetzee said.
DHL Stormers head coach Allister Coetzee has revealed the DHL Stormers line-up for Saturday's Super Rugby Qualifier against the Brumbies at DHL Newlands (kick-off 17:05 SA Time), with Juan de Jongh assuming the leadership reins once again.
There appears to be an outside chance that Springbok Sevens flyer Seabelo Senatla may feature for the DHL Stormers in the closing stages of Vodacom Super Rugby.
The Blitzbokke finish off their 2014 / 2015 campaign in London later this week and Stormers coach Allister Coetzee says that he will investigate the option of having the speedy winger available for the last games of the round robin phase.
Senatla will have to play a couple of games to be eligible for the Finals Series that starts late in June, with the Stormers in a 3-way fight at the moment with the Vodacom Bulls and Emirates Lions to get that far.
The product of Welkom was a revelation on the wing for Western Province in last year's ABSA Currie Cup and with the Stormers struggling to score tries this season – they have just one 4-try bonus point from their 12 matches so far – it would make sense for Coetzee to look at Senatla.
The DHL Stormers are keeping their build-up to Saturday's massive Vodacom Super Rugby derby against the Vodacom Bulls under wraps, with no open training sessions or press conferences scheduled until the team announcement on Thursday, but there shouldn't be any secret to what the biggest selection dilemma will be this week.
To put it simply, coach Allister Coetzee needs to find a way to fit 4 inform Springbok loose-forwards into a winning loose trio. Up until the match against the Western Force, not all the loose-forwards were firing, as Nizaam Carr wasn't repeating the excellent form that earned him a national call-up last year.
However, against the Western Force the No 8 hit his straps and regained his old confidence, delivering a busy and energetic performance that should have taken him close to the man of the match award. The Stormers were unlucky not to score a try off one particularly impressive run from Carr.
The problem for Coetzee, if you could call it that, is that skipper Duane Vermeulen has now completed his rest period that started when he travelled home at the halfway point of the 4 match overseas tour, meaning that he effectively missed 3 games in all as he was also rested for the 1st. Vermeulen should return to the back of the scrum for the Newlands clash, which will mean that Carr will have to be accommodated elsewhere.
An elated DHL Stormers coach Allister Coetzee heaped the praise on his coaching team and all the players in the aftermath of their excellent 32 / 18 Vodacom Super Rugby win over the defending champion Waratahs earlier today.
The DHL Stormers overturned a 13 / 15 half-time deficit to record their 1st tour win of 2015 against the reigning champs – also scoring 4 tries in the process in Sydney.
DHL Stormers coach Allister Coetzee was disappointed with his team's showing against the Highlanders, but he still believes they have what it takes to play winning rugby on their 2015 Vodacom Super Rugby tour.
The DHL Stormers went down 21 / 39 to the Highlanders in Dunedin earlier today and were unable to give flanker Schalk Burger the win they all craved in his 100th game for the Cape-based franchise.
"I am very disappointed," Coetzee told www.iamastormer.com on Saturday evening (NZ time), "this wasn't what we wanted for Schalk in his 100th match and it certainly wasn't what we wanted in our 1st tour match.
Regular captain and No 8 Duane Vermeulen is the only member of the DHL Stormers touring squad that will not be available for selection for Saturday's opening game of the 4 day trip against the Highlanders at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium.
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has reported to the Cape rugby media via telephone conference hook-up that the squad has settled down well on the South Island in New Zealand – they are actually in the resort town of Queenstown currently – and that every player in the 27 man squad is fully fit and ready to play.
That means that Louis Schreuder, who was concussed against the Chiefs in the last match, has passed his cognitive tests, while big lock Eben Etzebeth and the inform blindside flank Michael Rhodes have both recovered from the injuries that have kept them out of the last few Stormers games.
The DHL Stormers have announced a 27-man touring squad for their upcoming trip to Australasia, which will see them take on the Highlanders, the Hurricanes, the Waratahs and the Western Force on their 2015 Vodacom Super Rugby away trip.
Captain Duane Vermeulen will lead a squad with no selection surprises and a playing group which includes hooker Bongi Mbonambi, prop Oli Kebble, lock Eben Etzebeth, flank Mike Rhodes and wing Johnny Kotze – all of whom did not play against the Chiefs at the weekend.
The only player unavailable because of injury is hard-working flanker Rynhardt Elstadt (broken leg – suffered against the Blues in Round 2), with DHL Stormers coach Allister Coetzee rightfully rewarding those players who have served the team so well thus far in 2015.
The injury list for the DHL Stormers is growing following the addition of 3 more players after the hard won victory over the Lions at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Locks Jurie Van Vuuren, Ruan Botha and Flank Michael Rhodes all picked up injuries and will be assessed in the coming days.
The Stormers have no major injury concerns in their camp this week, as they get set to host the Blues at Newlands on Saturday (17:05 SA Time).
The men from the Cape opened their 2015 Super Rugby campaign with a memorable 29 / 17 win over the Bulls in Pretoria and they could be boosted this week by the return of forwards Frans Malherbe and Siya Kolisi and wing Kobus van Wyk.
The trio missed the trip to Pretoria, but more will be known about their participation in Round 2 when the team is announced on Thursday, just before lunch-time.
Johnny Kotze, who was a stand-out player for last season's Western Province Under 21 side, is the major surprise in the Stormers team to play the Bulls in the opening round of the 2015 Super Rugby competition at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria, on Saturday evening.
The Johannesburg-born Kotze, who was schooled at Bishops in Cape Town, was given the nod after right wing Kobus van Wyk was omitted from Saturday's match-day squad. Van Wyk, who had returned from a calf injury, enjoyed very little game time in the pre-season warm-up matches and it was felt that he needed more time to reach the desired level of match readiness.
"Kotze has all the core skills that is required of a wing," said Stormers coach Allister Coetzee, at Thursday's team announcement in Bellville. "He was one of the stars in last season's (WP) Under 21 team. He's been in our system and he brings characteristics that are very pleasing.
Springbok inside centre Damian de Allende will line up in the No 12 jersey for the DHL Stormers, as the men from the Cape open their 2015 Vodacom Super Rugby campaign against the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday (19:10 SA Time).
De Allende is one of 3 Springboks in the DHL Stormers' starting 15, whilst fit-again loose forward Nizaam Carr has been named on the bench to take the squad tally of Springboks to 4.
In all, there are 6 DHL Stormers debutants in the matchday squad, 3 in the starting 15 and 3 on the bench, with wings Johnny Kotze and Dillyn Leyds and tighthead prop Vincent Koch the new faces in the run-on side.
The new faces on the bench are hooker Bongi Mbonambi – who, of course, has Super Rugby experience with the Bulls – tighthead prop Wilco Louw and outside back Huw Jones.
Long-serving DHL Stormers and DHL Western Province coach Allister Coetzee has chosen not to extend his contract at Western Province Rugby and will, instead, take up an opportunity abroad at the end of this year.
Coetzee, 51, will join Japanese club, Kobe Steel Kobelco Steelers, having decided to put pen to paper this week.
"I have always said that I would make an announcement once I had made a decision about my future and my decision has now been made and communicated properly," said Coetzee on the official DHL Stormers website.
A potential crisis looms for a Stormers management that will be starting the Vodacom Super Rugby season without the defensive guru, Jacques Nienaber, that masterminded their team strength over the past seven years and with the knowledge that the head coach will be leaving at the end of the competition.
Japanese based sources have confirmed that the stories linking Allister Coetzee with the Japanese club Kobe Kobelco Steelers are more than just speculation and an expression of interest – the two time Currie Cup winning coach has made a firm commitment to replace Gary Gold as Kobe coach and will link up with his new club once the Super Rugby season is over in July.
Coetzee comes off contract this year. Among other things, he is understood to have been put out by the recruitment of former Bok and Kenya Sevens coach Paul Treu as a Stormers assistant coach without the management being consulted, and has informed the Stormers hierarchy and his fellow management of his decision.
DHL Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has announced a powerful line-up for Friday night's friendly clash against the Cheetahs at DHL Newlands (Kick-Off 19:00 SA Time).
As expected, Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth will start in his first match of 2015, his first appearance in a DHL Stormers jersey since 2013, whilst talented youngster Huw Jones gets a run at inside centre – his first start for the DHL Stormers – after Damian de Allende was ruled out with a slight quadriceps tear.
"It's a slight tear, so we could've pushed Damian if, say, we were playing in a final," said Coetzee on the www.iamastormer.com website. "It's not serious, but we didn't want to risk him at this stage of our pre-season preparations."
Demetri Catrakilis, after missing last weekend's trip to George with a stomach ailment, will start at flyhalf, whilst ABSA Currie Cup-winning lock Jean Kleyn has been named amongst the replacements after recovering from a knee (meniscus) injury which delayed his start to his team's pre-season programme.
The first playing squad of the Stormers has been named already for the first Stormers warm-up match against SWD and it certainly looks like Scarra Ntubeni will have first pick at hooker, but Bongi bonambi, the imported hooker from the Bulls will not go away, he'll battle for the starting spot all season and Scarra Ntubeni will have to be at his best… and stay injury free, to keep the pecking order in his favour.
Allister Coetzee is faced with a delicate balancing act, considering who he has available and who are carrying niggles and injuries.
Stormers and Western Province coach Allister Coetzee is in high demand to coach in the Japanese league, according to reports.
Coetzee, who still has one year left on his contract with WP, is believed to be a strong candidate to replace Gary Gold as coach of the Kobe Kobelco Steelers in Japan. Gold is set to leave the Steelers to take up the role of Sharks Director of Rugby.
Meanwhile, WP's Vodacom Cup and Under 21 coach, John Dobson, is also believed to be on the wish list of the EP Kings, while there is also interest in Dobson's backline coach, Dawie Snyman.
Gert Smal, WP's Director of Rugby, said they would like to keep all current coaches at the union for the next three years and are busy with negotiations.
Western Province beat the Blue Bulls in both league games this season, and that is why coach Allister Coetzee says that his team won't be changing their attacking gameplan for a more conservative one in Saturday's Currie Cup semi-final at Newlands.
In fact, since Coetzee took over the WP Currie Cup team in 2008, they have lost only once to the Blue Bulls at Newlands, although it was a big one – the 2009 semi-final, when Morné Steyn slotted a late penalty for a 21-19 win.
Former DHL Western Province captain Anton van Zyl is set for a shock return to the team after an absence of four years as the Absa Currie Cup log leaders seek a way to protect their stocks ahead of the play-off phase of the competition.
Van Zyl, known as Worms by his friends, finished off a stint with Stade de Francais a few months ago and is back living in Cape Town. He last played for WP in the 2010 Currie Cup final, and last played for the Stormers in the 2011 season.
He attended a Province training session on Tuesday as the Cape side prepares for the clash with the Cell C Sharks this weekend, and according to WP sources, is in the reckoning to play in the game.
DHL WP, the 2012 Absa Currie Cup winners and 2013 finalists, will take on the Steval Pumas at the Mbombela Stadium with vice-captain Pat Cilliers back at tighthead prop and Brok Harris moving down to the bench.
Scrumhalf Nic Groom and utility back Michael van der Spuy will join Harris on the bench this week, with coach Coetzee once again reverting to a more traditional four / three split (forwards / backs) amongst his replacements.
Western Province will need to 'change their attitude' or face more Currie Cup heartache in the coming weeks.
This is the view of WP coach Allister Coetzee, following his team's first defeat of the season – when they went down 33-35 to the Golden Lions in Johannesburg last Saturday.
Province, who conceded just eight tries in the first five weeks of the revamped Currie Cup competition, leaked five five-pointers against the Lions at Ellis Park.
Western Province made it five from five in the Currie Cup with a convincing 49-14 win over the Eastern Province Kings at Newlands on Friday night.
The hosts, the only remaining unbeaten team in the Currie Cup, picked up their third bonus point win of the season in the process as they racked up seven tries whilst conceding just two, reports WP's official website.
Skipper Juan de Jongh opened his team's tally in the 11th minute when he snapped up a loose EP Kings pass, that after kickers Scott van Breda (Kings) and Demetri Catrakilis (WP) missed goal kicks inside the first ten minutes.
DHL Western Province coach Allister Coetzee has made four changes to his starting team for Friday night's ABSA Currie Cup clash with the EP Kings at Newlands.
Only one of those changes is enforced, with wing Seabelo Senatla ruled out because of the ankle injury sustained against the Vodacom Blue Bulls last weekend. Coetzee said earlier in the week that Senatla would be out for a minimum of two weeks, but it seems likely now that he will be out for three or four. Continue reading
Speedster Seabelo Senatla will almost certainly miss Friday night's home Absa Currie Cup clash with the EP Kings at Newlands, but the DHL Western Province brains-trust will be holding thumbs that his absence from the game won't be for long.
The Springbok Sevens star will have the ankle that he twisted during his match winning performance for WP against the Vodacom Blue Bulls at Loftus this past weekend assessed on Monday.
He said after the match that the ankle didn't feel bad, and he was apparently walking comfortably on Sunday, but WP coach Allister Coetzee has listed him as a doubtful starter for Friday night's game.
Opening a three-point gap atop the Currie Cup log, after a tightly contested 23-18 victory over a much-improved Blue Bulls side at Loftus Versfeld gave Western Province coach Allister Coetzee a lot to smile about.
"We are very happy with the win, we were up against a desperate Bulls side and they showed the way they came out tonight and they really came at us," Coetzee said.
"It is a massive win for us, to come out here at altitude to beat the Bulls with a relatively young side and it is the first time that they've lost at Loftus this year."
Western Province will never disrespect or underestimate any Blue Bulls team, no matter how much their rivals from the north are struggling.
The table-topping WP outfit travel to Pretoria on Saturday for the biggest domestic derby, when they face a Bulls team fresh off their first win of the season.
After having suffer heavy defeats in back-to-back outings in the opening rounds, the Bulls showed some improvement in their 30-25 win over the Eastern Province Kings last week.
Centre Michael van der Spuy is the only injury worry for Western Province coach Allister Coetzee, ahead of Saturday's away meeting against the Blue Bulls in Pretoria.
Van der Spuy has a tight hamstring, following the weekend's 27-14 win over the Golden Lions, and did not train on Monday.
Should Van der Spuy be ruled out of action, Jaco Taute (on the bench last week) and Pat Howard (who came off the bench in Round One) would come into the selection equation an centre.
It was not performance that sounded a Currie Cup championship warning but the victorious Western Province showed their attacking prowess in their 27-14 victory over the Golden Lions at Newlands on Saturday.
Speaking after the match, Province coach Allister Coetzee said the importance of starting well was once again underlined.
"Later in the match the Lions put us under tremendous pressure and there were not many opportunities again," Coetzee said.
"It cost really hard work for us to survive in what was a tough game."
Head coach Allister Coetzee has named an unchanged line-up for Saturday's top-of-the-log Absa Currie Cup clash between DHL Western Province and the Xerox Golden Lions at DHL Newlands (kick-off 17:05 SA Time).
Hookers Tiaan Liebenberg (back) and Scarra Ntubeni (calf muscle) remain sidelined, meaning Stephan Coetzee continues in the No 2 jersey with Neil Rautenbach again warming the bench.
Western Province, for the first time in almost two seasons, came away from a match without an injury following their 41-17 win over the Blue Bulls in their Currie Cup match at Newlands, in Cape Town, on Saturday.
Province coach Allister Coetzee said the entire match-day squad over the weekend had indeed emerged injury-free.
Province, and their Super Rugby side, the Stormers, had been picking up a variety of injuries almost without fail in the past two seasons.
When the Springboks finished off their 2013 campaign with a victory over France in Paris, coach Heyneke Meyer spoke about the need for South African rugby to undergo revolutionary change in order to close the gap that the All Blacks enjoyed when it came to conditioning and mental strength.
At the start of the 2014 Castle Lager Rugby Championship, he continued the theme of revolution, this time talking about the need to bring greater intensity and tempo to the Bok game, to be able to out-think opponents now that the days of bludgeoning opposition with physicality are in the past.
It was a case of mission accomplished for DHL Western Province on Saturday, as they picked up an impressive 41-17 Absa Currie Cup win over the Vodacom Blue Bulls – their second successive bonus-point victory of 2014.
"It's a good start for us at home – it's mission accomplished," DHL Western Province coach Allister Coetzee told www.wprugby.com at DHL Newlands on Saturday night.
