Wakefield Wildcats coach Chris Chester insists there are no hard feelings ahead of tonight's clash at home to Hull KR. 

Chester took over Wakefield only three weeks later and has overseen nine wins from 11 games since in a remarkable turnaround.

It's the first time he's faced his former side since he parted company with them in March after just three games of the new season.

But not just yet, tonight it'll be fine and a cold and grey start to the day tomorrow. But just you wait for the weekend!

Here's my forecast for the next few hours. By the way, I haven't got any make up on which is why you can only see my feet...

Here are the latest headlines in West Yorkshire this afternoon:

• Leeds United appoint new head coach. Gary Monk told reporters he's not thinking about the way Massimo Cellino has treated previous people in the post.
• Another man's been arrested by police investigating the suspected murder of a man outside a pub in Bradford. 
• A Bradford man and his wife, who were given the wrong baby by a hospital in El Salvador after a mix up, return to their US home.

Here's a nice fact to wow your friends with in the pub tonight.

One of our team here have worked out that Leeds United managers have, on average, a lifespan of three months and three weeks.

That's about the same as the gestation period for a Lion.

He missed out on the London Olympics by just 18 seconds, but now racewalker Tom Bosworth is on course for Rio. 

He trains at the National Race Walking Centre at Leeds Beckett University, and is one trial away from being selected for Team GB. 

I've been to meet the man who "walks" faster than most of us can run.

An impressive start to life at Leeds United from new head coach Garry Monk. He's clearly very confident in his own ability having managed Swansea in the Premier League, and he's looking forward to the challenge ahead. 

He's not daft, he'll be aware that previous head coaches at Leeds haven't lasted too long under chairman Massimo Cellino. But Monk is right to say that ultimately it's a results business, and it's results that will dictate his fate.

He's clearly excited by the potential of the current squad and the talented young players Leeds already have, and says it's all about keeping hold of the best talent while making a few tweaks in certain areas. 

And fans can expect exciting football, Monk says his style is all about playing possession football with purpose, he wants plenty of shots and goals, and for the fans who go along to support the team to be happy they've paid their money. 

Earlier this morning we were telling you about a Bradford father and his wife who were given the wrong baby by a hospital in El Salvador. They've now been allowed to travel home to the US with their child. 

Richard Cushworth and his Salvadoran wife Mercy were only allowed to return with their son Moses, after DNA tests proved he had been swapped with another boy.

The couple had been waiting for over eight months for a birth certificate.

A school has started an investigation after one of its pupils was filmed brandishing a metal pole beside one of its minibuses.

A group of boys, believed to be aged about 13, was captured on video by garages at a block of flats in Lilac Grove, Laisterdyke.

I'll keep an eye on this one, hopefully we won't see too much disruption. 

Police investigating the death of a man who was found outside a Fairweather Green pub with serious head injuries have made another arrest.

The man, aged 22 and from Bradford was arrested last night on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of Peter Burns.

Mr Burns, who was 54 and lived in the Girlington area of the city, was taken to hospital after police were called to a report of a fight in the car park of the Queen Hotel in Thornton Road at about 23:30 last Saturday.

He died in hospital early this week.

A 22-year-old man from Bradford who was originally arrested and bailed has been re-arrested on suspicion of murder after police received new information.

A 29-year-old Bradford man who was arrested on Monday remains in custody today. 

Well that's Garry Monk's first press conference.

Love to know what you think to what he's said, share your thoughts on email.

Our Leeds United reporter will give us his thoughts in the next few minutes, in the meantime, this is what it looked like..

So as the press conference continues, here's more of what Garry Monk had to say:

•   Says he focuses on the football and not the average tenure of head coaches under Cellino.
•   Players due back at end of month. And that he feels he has enough time to plan pre-season.
•   Says he will have an important opinion on transfers.  
•   He likes to be on the "front foot" with his playing style.  

It seems that he's laying his ambitions down early..
