Separate lines in Excel cell

[BobO''''''''B]

How can I insert separate lines in a worksheet cell?
I'm using Excel to build a Tournament Roster ('coz it's easier to use than
Word tables) and want to enter data like:
Competitive Men
Team A vs.
Team B

in a singe cell and centre the first line, left justify the 2nd and right
justify the 3rd.

ALT + ENTER

This might be better (I know it's easier!):

A1 = Competitive Men
A2 = Team A
B2 = vs
C2 = Team B

Format B2 to center
Format C2 to right align
Select A1:C1
Goto Format Cells>Alignment tab>Horizontal>Center across selection>OK

Here's what it'll look like:

Tried CNTRL+ENTER, SHIFT+ENTER - not ALT+ENTER! (D-U-H me!)
Thanks!!

Thanks, it IS easier, but there are other constraints in adjacent cells that
prevent using this solution.

The Alt + ENTER will give you carriage returns but I don't think you can do the
center, right and left justify as you posted without padding with spaces.
