Highlights of the Sky Bet League 1 semi-final first leg between Barnsley and Walsall They won the first leg at Oakwell 3-0 thanks to a Sam Winnall double and Jason Demetrious own goal, before cruising at the Bankss Stadium, a 6-1 aggregate score sending them to Wembley for the second time this season. A home draw was enough to see Millwall through after their victory at Valley Parade Millwall were in the promotion mix for most of the season - finishing fourth on 81 points - and faced Bradford in their semi-final. The Lions outclassed their opponents during a 3-1 win at Valley Parade - including a stunning free-kick from Joe Martin - with a draw at The Den enough to see them into the finale. Highlights of the League One playoff semi-final second leg between Millwall and Bradford City Play-off previousMillwall can certainly be dubbed play-off veterans - but memories havent always been happy.

Im pleased Ive delivered that promise. Barnsley caretaker head coach Paul Heckingbottom credited his players for their outstanding playoff semi-final win over Walsall Heckingbottom believes the Tykes have an advantage after their Wembley visit previously this season.I do think having been there once already will help, especially as it was in the not too distant past. We know what the venue is like and what to expect. We will be more than ready for it. Definitely, Heckingbottom told the Yorkshire Post.The lads were a bit more subdued this time [about reaching Wembley], maybe because we have been there once already this season. But that is good because it shows we still have a job to do. Our focus has to shift to the next game and our preparations began straight away.

The 22-year-old missed the cut at TPC Sawgrass last week in his first event since a final-round collapse at the Masters, but he has made a strong start in Texas by following an opening-round 64 with a five-under 65 on Friday.Spieth mixed six birdies with a solitary bogey at TPC Four Seasons, a course he has notoriously struggled at over the years, giving him the early clubhouse second-round lead with Brooks Koepka. Jordan Spieth posted six birdies during his round The world No 2 has not finished inside the top-25 in the event since a tie for 16th as an amateur in 2010, but feels the extra work put in with coach Cameron Mccormick this week has brought a marked improvement. Its very gratifying, Spieth told the PGA Tours featured group coverage. I have complete trust in Camerons (Mccormick) eye and he has the trust that Im going to put in the work to get to a point where were successful.Sometimes thats not the next week but fortunately, this week it is. Most of our work has been on the greens, and that has shown today. Spieth carded four birdies in a five-hole stretch I feel a little loose with mmy iron play and even some of my wedges, and the proximity to the hole from a lot of the positions Ive been playing hasnt been where I want it.ddddddddddddWeve made up for it with the putter thus far and if we can tone that down a little bit and keep the putter hot, well be in good shape.After missing a 10-footer for birdie at the 11th, Spieth picked up a shot from a similar distance at the next but gave it straight back with a three-putt bogey at the short 13th. Spieths last victory came in Januarys Hyundai Tournament of Champions The world No 2 drained a 20-footer at the 14th and made a move up the leaderboard with a hat-trick of gains from the 16th to reach the turn in 31.A run of close-range pars came to an end with a two-putt birdie at the par-five seventh, before Spieth closed a bogey-free second nine and set the clubhouse target by holing from 10 feet to save par at the ninth. The 13th Ive three-putted twice in a row now and then I ended up in a really tough spot on 14, Spieth added. Ive been on that spot every year and made bogeys, made doubles and made pars, but finally made a birdie out of that.It was a really nice break to get some momentum for sure.Watch the AT&T Byron Nelson throughout the weekend live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf Also See: AT&T Byron Nelson leaders Garcia makes bright start First round highlights Golf live on Sky Sports ' ' '
