The 2025 NFL Draft doesn’t have a lot of can’t-miss prospects or well-known quarterbacks and wide receivers at the top of Round 1, which has led many to label the class “weak.” However, plenty of good players will come off the board in the first few rounds, especially at the unglamorous interior offensive and defensive […]

AS spring approaches, many homeowners are turning their attention to sprucing up their gardens

From weeding the flower beds to trimming the hedge and planting some hardy flowers, there’s plenty that can be done already.

And your fence may also need some sprucing up after a cold and wet winter. 

Whilst the traditional paint brush may be your go-to for painting fences, a DIY expert is recommending a surprising alternative that will save you time and money.

Simon Wardle, owner of fencing supplier, Armstrong Cheshire, is advising homeowners to ditch paint brushes which can lead to aching arms and uneven coverage. 

Instead, the DIY pro recommends using a simple dish sponge.

He says: “The flexibility and porousness of a sponge makes it the perfect tool for painting your fence.

“It can mold around and reach into any nooks and indentations in the wood, allowing for smooth coverage even on the most textured fence panels.”

The repetitive motion that comes with brush painting can be a real physical challenge and cause significant aches and pains.

But, according to Simon, using a sponge can substantially reduce the strain on your arms. 

“Using a sponge significantly reduces the physical strain associated with traditional brush application”, he adds.

“Their lighter weight and efficient coverage minimises repetitive motions, resulting in a more comfortable and productive job.” 

Not only is sponge-painting easier on the arms, it’s also much quicker and far more affordable. 

At Tesco, you can grab a six-pack of sponges for just 75p, whilst a fence paint brush can be anywhere from £5-15.  

If you’re looking to tackle this outdoor task, Simon also offers up additional tips to get the best results.

He says: “Using a primer will protect the fence from weather damage and create a strong bond between wood and paint, ensuring the paint adheres better and lasts longer.

“Use a power washer or a stiff-bristle brush to remove dirt and debris from the surface, as this prevents future peeling or blistering.

“Always give your fence a second layer to enhance the colour and extend the life of your paint job.”

CELTIC are aiming to bounce back from Easter Road disappointment when hosting Aberdeen on Tuesday.

It’s now just one win from their last four games for Brendan Rodgers’ men after their loss to Hibs and they’ll be hoping home comforts will see them return to winning ways.

Celtic vs Aberdeen preview

Heartbreak last midweek in Munich, Celtic weren’t able to make things any better in the Scottish capital on Saturday either.

Defeat at Hibs won’t do much in terms of the title race but it serves as a reminder that the Hoops won’t get everything their way on the run in.

It’s also of some concern that Celtic have won just TWO of their last NINE games away from Parkhead.

So it’s a good job they find themselves back at home in midweek when third place Aberdeen visit.

These sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw here earlier in the season, with Celtic winning 6-0 and 1-0 in the two meetings since.

The Dons ended a long, long losing run recently and scored in injury time to beat Kilmarnock on Saturday, having had the rub of the green throughout.

It remains a real battle for third spot, with the gap to Dundee United just one point and Hibs a further three behind.

Celtic vs Aberdeen predictions

POTY

Nobody can argue that Daizen Maeda has been Celtic’s standout player this season, with Nicolas Kuhn having a decent start to the season and Alistair Johnston the only other to run him close.

Nine goals and three assists in his last six starts is a phenomenal return and whether playing from the left or through the middle, he’s constantly finding himself with chances to score.

Those numbers could probably be higher when you consider he had an equaliser chalked off on Saturday and two golden chances at the Allianz.

Remains terrific value in the scoring markets, too….
