 ### Cat Owners Urged to Microchip Pets as Law Changes *9 hours ago   By Jude Winter & Jack Tymon, BBC News, Derby* Cat owners in Derbyshire are being advised to microchip their pets due to a new law. Previously, only dogs were required to be microchipped in England, but as of Monday, this mandate has been extended to cats. The Derbyshire Cats Protection Centre reported that many of the cats brought to their Ashbourne site over the past year were not microchipped. Helen Wood, the manager of the centre, emphasized the difficulty of reuniting cats with their owners without microchips. #### 'Chipped for Life' Under the new law, all cats must be microchipped by the age of 20 weeks, or their owners could face a fine.

  This was the 12th women's final since the competition began in 2012, but only the second time it was held at Wembley. After Leeds had a try disallowed, it took 24 minutes to break the deadlock when Faye Gaskin scored the game's first points. Against the run of play, the defending champions found an opportunity 10 yards out, and Saints' half-back maneuvered through weak challenges to score near the posts. Gaskin converted the try, adding two points. Six minutes later, Saints scored again when Phoebe Hook crossed the line in the right corner, though Gaskin's conversion attempt fell short. Leading 10-0 at halftime, Saints extended their dominance five minutes into the second half when Luci McColm finished off a well-executed passing move to score near the left corner, with Gaskin adding another two points. Leeds, winners in 2018 and 2019 before Saints' recent dominance, fought hard to avoid becoming the first team to be 'nilled' in the women's final since...
