Qualcomm, Microsoft giving Snapdragon S4 PCs to Windows-on-ARM developers (update: NVIDIA handing out Tegra 3 PCs, too)

Microsoft spent a big chunk of MWC today telling everyone about Windows 8 and if you're the coding type, the news gets even better. If invited, you'll be expecting something nice in the mail to arrive from Redmond very shortly.

It's intended to give developers a head-start in building and refining Metro-style apps ahead of the operating system's big debut. You can check out the consumer preview of what was shown today here and if you'd like to know more, head on past the break for a sprinkling of PR.

Update: It's not just Qualcomm giving away ARM silicon for free, looks like NVIDIA will be distributing Windows 8 machines powered by its Tegra 3 SoC too. PR's after the break.

Ned points the way ahead for super Saints

A SIXTH-MINUTE poacher's strike by Ned O'Keeffe set St Andrews Under-13s on their way to a 5-2 victory over Shirehampton in the Fountains Trophies Cup at Eastville.

Further goals by Josh Butt (2), O'Keeffe and Kristian Richards saw off spirited Shire's challenge.

Thornbury Town won 5-3 at Tytherington Rocks in the same competition, while impressive performances by Tom Wistow, Sam Youngman and Aidan Slattery, all promoted from the club's B team, weren't enough to prevent a 4-0 defeat for Bishopston A by Gordano Valley Giants.

Kris Carr, Ollie Williams, Ben Lawes and Paul Truscelli all battled well for Bishopston.

Golden Hill Sonics twice came from behind to secure their place in the quarter-finals with a point from a 3-3 draw with Ingleside. Rob Grant and Wenzil Woltersdorf were both on target, with an own goal completing their tally

Ingleside, whose goals came from Dean Howlett, Mohamed Sarbast and Abdirahman Ali Nur, must beat Gordano by seven clear goals in order to progress to the last eight.

In the Under-13s B section, Hamish Dron scored four goals for Redland Raiders in a 6-1 success against Icthus, whose consolation strike came from Sam McGregor. Redland also hit the post six times and missed six guilt-edged chances, as well as a penalty!

Thornbury Town B and Bishopston Uunited B contested a league and cup double-header arranged to ease the fixture congestion.

The first encounter saw the sides share the points from a 2-2 draw. Owen Risby and an own goal gave Bishopston a 2-0 lead before two super goals from Louis Ogilvie pulled Thornbury level.

Isaac Wales, Archie Lock and Olls Warren all made sound contributions for Bishopston, while Felix Brittain, Jake Goodridge and Aidan Hannyngton caught the eye in midfield for Thornbury.

The cup match followed and despite creating several chances, Bishopston were beaten 3-0.
