● POLICE are trying to track down a man who exposed himself to young girls twice on the same evening. The incidents both took place in Yate on Saturday. In the first, a ten-year-old girl walking along a path in Highworth Crescent was targeted between 5 and 6pm. Then at about 6.30pm, the man exposed himself to an 11-year-old girl, who was with a friend in the play area at St Mary’s Park, Church Road. The youngsters ran off. The man has been described as in his 40s or 50s, with grey or greying black hair. He was wearing black shorts, possibly cycling shorts. Neighbourhood PC Angharad Baynham said: “Generally Yate is a safe place, with very few incidents like this. We’re looking into any connection between these two reports and not ruling anything out at this stage. “These girls did just the right thing by running away and telling someone. I’d ask parents and carers to remind their children, if they come across anyone whose behaviour worries them, to run away, tell an adult and call us straight away.” Anyone with information about the incidents or the man involved should call the police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Firefighters join in national 4-hour strike

EVENTS IN
● FIREFIGHTERS in the Bristol area were joining a national four-hour strike today in a row over pensions. The stoppage was due to take place from noon to 4pm, when a skeleton service will operate from six stations in the area. A picket line was being set up at Temple Back fire station. Fire cover will be provided in the main by firefighters who are not part of the Fire Brigades’ Union. They will work alongside a small number of auxiliary firefighters who have received training to provide basic support to fully qualified crews. As a result of the strike, Avon Fire & Rescue Service is urging people to check their fire safety measures. Due to the reduced emergency service, members of the public are advised to expect longer response times as calls will be prioritised towards those where there is a risk to life.
Main road collisions leave two cyclists hurt ● TWO cyclists were hurt after collisions with cars on main roads through Bristol. The A38 Gloucester Road in Bishopston was partially blocked at the Sommerville Road junction at around 6.10pm when a cyclist was injured, and taken to Frenchay Hospital by ambulance. A South Western Ambulance spokeswoman said the cyclist’s injuries were not thought to be serious. Five minutes later, at 6.15pm, there was a collision between a car and a cyclist on Park Street, near the junction with Great George Street. The ambulance service attended and treated one casualty, who did not need hospital treatment.

Woman was hit with shovel and then raped, court hears Geoff Bennett Crown court reporter geoff.bennett@b-nm.co.uk
A
GREENBANK man subjected a woman to a horrific catalogue of physical and sexual abuse, a jury was told. Lisimba Kefentse smashed a shovel into his victim’s face and broke her nose, Bristol Crown Court heard yesterday. He then forced her to have sex, sexually touched her and carried out a degrading act on her. When the traumatised woman was taken to hospital, at first she only disclosed the physical assault on her, the court was told. But in due course she was able to give an account of sexual violence as well. Kefentse, 50, of Kingsley Road, denies four charges of rape and three sexual assaults. He further denies charges of assault
“ She confided with a
woman about her feelings of disgust... She had been grievously assaulted... In hospital she told police she had been repeatedly raped by the defendant Ian Fenny, prosecuting
occasioning actual bodily harm, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, having a blade and putting a person in fear of violence. Ian Fenny, prosecuting, said Kefentse mounted a sustained assault on the woman, which left her bloodied and hysterical. Mr Fenny said Kefentse also held a craft knife to her throat and threatened to “chop her up”.

The jury heard how powerfully-built Kefentse then raped the woman and sexually touched her in a toilet. Mr Fenny said: “His case is that what happened was at her request – she initiated it. “She confided with a woman about her feelings of disgust.” The court heard matters came to light when the woman was hospitalised after the violent attack on her. Mr Fenny told the court: “She had been grievously assaulted. “Ten days later she had an operation under general anaesthesia to make good a fracture to her nose. “In hospital she told police she had been repeatedly raped by the defendant.” It is claimed Kefentse told the complainant he had been violent to other women in the past. Mr Fenny said that in February 2011 he was convicted of committing battery on another woman. The case continues.

Baby drama From car boot sale to twins in under four hours Vicki Mathias Health reporter vicki.mathias@b-nm.co.uk
W
ITH ten weeks left until her due date, Becky Norman had no idea that the twinges she was suffering were labour pains – but four hours and a police escort later her twin sons had arrived. She had been at a car boot sale in Cheddar with her husband Dave when the first cramps started but very quickly the pain become more severe and the 30-year-old was advised to head to St Michael’s Hospital, believing she was going in for a straightforward check-up. But on arrival at the city centre hospital it was discovered that she was already 10cm dilated and sons Finley and Oliver were born within an hour. The journey into Bristol had been rather dramatic for the Weston-super-Mare couple and included a police escort and a dash across the Clifton Suspension Bridge before the unexpected arrival of her twin sons. Mrs Norman, who had not started her maternity leave when the boys arrived, said: “We were at the car boot making way for all the boys’ toys and had been there for a couple of hours when I started getting cramps. “I hadn’t even got around to going to antenatal classes at that point so didn’t know what to expect. After about an hour the pains got quite severe and I rang the hospital who suggested we head in. “We had to get escorted off the car boot sale site through all the cars.” It was while on the motorway heading towards Bristol that the couple realised they would need help getting through the city centre to St Michael’s. “We were flashing the lights and beeping our horns to get the attention of a police car and got his attention just before we

VITAL FACILITY Cots for Tots House ● COTS for Tots House was set up to provide a home-from-home for the families of sick and premature babies being cared for in the St Michael’s Hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It opened last year after a successful £1 million appeal which also saw an additional suite of four cots and associated equipment being added to the unit so that more babies could benefit from the life-saving care it provides. The 12-bedded house is funded through the ongoing Cots for Tots Appeal which also provides equipment required by the NICU. For more information visit cotsfortots.org.uk.

reached the suspension bridge and explained we needed a blue light escort to St Michael’s,” she said. “When we got there they checked me and I was already 10cm dilated and was having my babies. It was all quite traumatic.” After a natural birth, Finley arrived on the afternoon of July 21 weighing 3lb 3oz and Oliver 3lb 2oz, which the couple were told was good considering they were ten weeks early. They were taken straight to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) where Oliver was given oxygen and put on a ventilator while Finley was given air through a CPAP machine. It was “a long four hours” before their parents could finally meet the new arrivals, but fortunately the youngsters were in
good health considering their early birth. The boys spent six weeks in the NICU and during that time their parents stayed in Cots for Tots House opposite the hospital, which provides free accommodation for families while their babies are cared for on the unit. The boys – who have now doubled in weight – will attend their first ball on Friday, after friends of their parents Chris and Jennie Cox organised the event in support of Cots for Tots in the family’s name. It will be a chance for the Normans to show off the nine-weekold boys to friends and family at the event on Weston Grand Pier on Friday. Tickets are £15 and include entertainment and a hog roast.

HE beginning of the worst global financial crisis in decades hardly seemed the ideal point to launch a £500 million shopping centre. But for Bristol, the opening of Cabot Circus five years ago turned out to be perfect timing to help the city navigate the economic choppy waters. The centre celebrates its fifth birthday today, and the Bristol Post can reveal almost 100 million shoppers and diners have visited to date. The huge investment in the centre transformed the landscape and attracted prestigious brands such as Harvey Nichols, Ted Baker, Apple and Hotel Chocolat, with House of Fraser moving from across the city to become the anchor store. It has seen Bristol sail up the shopping destinations league table from 27th to 11th, meaning the city has been on the rise, while others have been treading water. Cabot Circus centre director Stephanie Lacey, 41, admitted the timing had been “challenging”. “It was ten years in the planning and building and then we open in a period of economic down turn, and that brings its own challenges,” says Mrs Lacey. But the centre has performed strongly, with 95 per cent of shops let and Mrs Lacey believes it can keep improving. “We are still in our infancy as a shopping centre. There are good opportunities around the nighttime
economy and to bring exciting retailers who are new to the area,” she says. The latest tenants include American diner chain TGI Fridays and Japanese restaurant Wagamama, the latter due to open soon. Clothes stores remain the biggest draw for the centre, but certainly not the only one. “At the start we were seen as a fashion destination – we have some very strong fashion brands,” says Mrs Lacey. “But our leisure offering is very good too with restaurants and grab-and-go food and there is the cinema.” Five years after opening, one of the big questions is ‘Can Cabot Circus hang onto stores such as Harvey Nichols when the leases run out?’ Stephanie would not be drawn, only saying: “We can’t comment on confidential lease negotiations but we are aware we offer an attractive shopping environment which still has a lot of interest from retailers who are not currently in the city. “We have very strong shopping but also strong restaurants and leisure offer, all of which is a very strong attraction for our sitting tenants’ customer bases.” But the noises are promising. Harvey Nichols last night hosted two fashion shows in Cutlers’ Hall at Brasserie Blanc in Quakers Friars to celebrate the birthday. Louise Masson, general manager of Harvey Nichols Bristol, said: “From

the day we opened we were instantly seen as the city’s trend-setters and five years on we continue to lead the way when it comes to luxury retailing. “We have been the first to introduce the likes of Stella McCartney, Peter Pilotto, Mary Katrantzou and Erdem to the South West, allowing our customers to enjoy the kind of shopping that previously was only available in London. “We are very committed to Bristol and have seen consistent year-onyear growth. Our store, along with our restaurant, remains a strong performer in the Harvey Nichols portfolio.” Regardless of what direction Cabot sails in future, without it Bristol might have sunk as a city centre shopping destination. As Destination Bristol chief executive John Hirst, who is responsible for promoting neighbouring Broadmead, puts it: “Where would we have been without Cabot Circus?”

HEN Cabot Circus first opened, many feared it would leave Broadmead an empty wasteland as all the shops moved across town. The onset of the recession didn’t help matters either. But Destination Bristol chief executive John Hirst says the arrival of its more glamorous cousin has helped rather than hindered. “Cabot Circus has been a fantastic addition,” he says. He admits many shops have moved to the new centre, leaving holes behind them that have been tough to fill. “If the economy had been as expected we would have back-filled those with new retailers coming into the city,” he says. When the economy nose-dived, that became much harder, although some spots were taken, most notably Primark moving into the Horsefair where House of Fraser had been. In terms of square footage, Broadmead has just a nine per cent vacancy rate, but it’s not a number likely to come down just yet. “Hopefully it will change if the recovery continues but I don’t think it will be this year. It will be 2014 before things significantly improve,” says John. One common gripe is that Broadmead closes at 6pm when Cabot shops remain open. “We would very much like to open until 8pm and we have been trying to review this for the last five years,” he admits. “But Cabot Circus wrote 8pm closing into the leases. We have to rely on good will and we need an improvement in the economic situation before that will happen.”
● SINCE Cabot Circus opened, an extra £200 million a year is spent by consumers in Bristol city centre. The city has moved from 27th to 11th in the league table of shopping destinations, with an estimated £600 million spent by people visiting the city centre annually. Graham Randall, lead partner at accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP in Bristol, said: “Thanks to the efforts of the Bristol Alliance and Destination Bristol, we have a shopping quarter that the city can be justly proud of and one that can compete with any major regional destination in the UK. “Cabot Circus completely changed the atmosphere and feel of the city centre at a time when the high street has been struggling to survive against the double onslaught of the internet and recession. “For many years Broadmead struggled with a poor public image, and the situation was made even worse by the arrival of The Mall at Cribbs Causeway. Some of the biggest retailers voted with their feet and moved out of the city and into South Gloucestershire. Today the pendulum has swung firmly back in favour of the city centre. “There were questions asked about the wisdom of opening a £500m shopping centre just as the worst recession in 50 years was getting under way. But any doubts have been well and truly dismissed over the last five years. “Cabot Circus has helped to put Bristol firmly on the map in terms of retail and has also assisted the city’s reputation with regard to leisure and tourism. For years Bristol punched well below its weight, today it has cemented its place as a leading retail destination.”

S Cabot Circus lures more shoppers into the city centre, how has its out-of-town rival The Mall at Cribbs Causeway fared? Seemingly very well. There have been bumps along the way, but right now it’s on an upward curve. Over the summer, Cribbs Causeway secured a host a new lettings – with Japanese restaurant Wagamama, fashion chains Superdry and Warehouse, and sound-system maker Bose, household goods store Lakeland and, just this week, Links of London opening stores. Several brands have moved to bigger
shops including Top Shop, River Island and Fat Face. A spokeswoman for the centre said: “Cabot Circus was a great introduction to Bristol; it was badly needed to revitalise the city centre offer and complements The Mall. “Cabot Circus fulfils its role for Bristol city centre, while The Mall – with its associated retail park and leisure facilities, larger format stores, free parking and location on the motorway network – has strengthened its position as the regional retail and leisure hub for the South West.”
David Mace of GVA, one of the letting agents for The Mall at Cribbs Causeway, comments: “As Cabot Circus celebrates its fifth birthday, Cribbs Causeway has hit its 15th this year; retailing has changed dramatically in this time but Cribbs Causeway has adapted and, even now, is undergoing a significant and exciting period of change, as some brands have been replaced by new exciting names and others have up-sized at this leading shopping hub. “We are very positive about what is ahead, and are confident that customers will continue to come to Cribbs Causeway in their millions each year.”

GRAND DESIGN ● If you have a mere £1.5 million to spare then you could splash out on a house that once featured on the Grand Designs programme. The four-bedroomed house could never be described as traditional but is still a stunning home complete with modern state-of-the-art fittings. Described as the Blue House, the property has four bedrooms, three reception rooms and four bathrooms, under-floor heating, a cinema room, a landscaped garden, tiled dining room, swimming pool and hot-tub.

LL the evidence points to the fact that the housing market in Bristol is well on the road to recovery, but for one street the good times never really went away. Mariners Drive, in the heart of upmarket Sneyd Park, has always been one of the most sought-after addresses in the city. And while large swathes of the country have seen plunges in property prices, little has changed in the opulent streets surrounding the area over the last five years. In fact there are currently three homes for sale on Mariners Drive with price tags of £1.5 million and above.
Clifton and Sneyd Park have never lost their allure with the wealthy who are more than happy to part with their cash in exchange for an address that comes with the reassuringly expensive BS8 and BS9 postcodes. Although the prices are not quite at the same eye-watering levels as Sandbanks in Poole or Kensington, Mariners Drive is fast gaining the tag of millionaire’s row. Figures from the Office of National Statistics show that the average house in Bristol costs £210,949, with the average semi costing £258,114. But those sorts of sums will not get you through the front door of estate agents in Clifton and the surrounding areas. And despite the hefty cost it seems there are still plenty of people out there with the cash to snap up the right property for the right price.
Richard Brooks, from estate agent Savills, specialises in the top end of the market. He said: “In Clifton, we are fortunate that the town market is holding up well. It is still a challenging environment, which is price sensitive, but its reputation, schooling and the appeal of Clifton Village continue to drive sales. “In order to get the most accurate picture of the local market, of who is selling what and for how much, I would urge those considering selling to take note of two key factors: don’t judge solely on sale prices and the volume of property advertised on an agent’s books, but instead consider the number of properties that have sold and the prices that were actually achieved. “At the right price, Clifton offers a strong market, anything else can still be something of a challenge.” And if the experts are to be believed then now is the right time to

buy with prices expected to go even higher in the very near future. Connells estate agency in Westbury-on-Trym say that the cost of a house in the right area of Bristol is rising in percentage terms “We have seen a definite change in the property market this year with rising prices and greater confidence from buyers,” said area director Ranjit Chohan. “As prices continue to rise, there is an opportunity for home movers to take advantage of the fact that the price gap between their current home and a larger home is currently smaller than it will be in six months time. Because of this, now is a great time to upsize your home.”

1930s STYLE
PICK OF THE BUNCH
● FOR something a little bit more traditional there is a 1930s-style property, which is on the market for just under £1.7 million. The house as its own orangery and media room, as well as an ornamental garden and lawns and terraces. Set over three floors, the house is being marketed as the ideal family home. Covered in wisteria, the house has five bedrooms, three of which have their own en-suite bathrooms. The house has gardens on three sides and a carriage style driveway.
● FINALLY, the pick of the bunch, 22 Mariners Drive, will cost you just under £2 million. Set in half an acre of glorious grounds, the five bedroomed property is described as a beautiful family home. The house also has three reception rooms and four bathrooms. And if that was not enough, there is also a stable block in the back garden. But the selling point of the property is the stunning terraced garden and the extra exterior accommodation.
RISTOL has been twinned with Bordeaux since 1947. The two cities share many things, a lively nightlife, a beautiful waterway through the city centre and an efficient, cost-effective tram system. Actually scrap that last one. It is worth mentioning that Bordeaux has a great tram network, part of which runs alongside the stunning quays and bars that hug the course of the River Garonne. The city itself is beautiful, a mixture of classical and neoclassical architecture, with an old town of cobbled streets and squares. It has more than 350 buildings listed as historic monuments, and away from the old, the new developments of bars and shops along the river are well worth an afternoon stroll. Because it’s to the South of France, the city benefits from long hot summers, which brings us to the stuff in bottles. Bordeaux is the main wine industry capital of the world. They’ve been making vin rouge (and other shades) here since the eighth century, so they know a bit about it. There are more than 10,000 wine-producing chateaux in the region, so visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to tours. For guidance on wine tourism see www.bordeaux-tours.com There are four flights a week from Bristol to Bordeaux in the summer months, finishing towards the end of October. They leave on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. The charmingly titled Jet Bus leaves the arrivals terminal every 45 minutes, seven days a week, The journey to the main rail station in the city centre takes around 45 minutes depending on traffic.

60 SECONDS Homes plan gets the go-ahead ● CONTROVERSIAL plans to build 41 new houses on a greenfield site in the Chew Valley have been cleared by a planning inspector. Developer Barratt Homes appealed against took Bath & North East Somerset Council’s decision to refuse the application for homes in Bishop Sutton. Residents had objected on the grounds that the design was not in keeping with the village and in the wrong place. B&NES had allowed for 50 new homes in the village over the next 20 years. But with another application for 35 homes granted permission by the council earlier in the year, there will now be at least 76. Local Tory councillor Vic Pritchard said: “This is completely the wrong development in completely the wrong location.”

Karl Andrews’ sisters say the memories and upset came flooding back at Canford Crematorium this summer. The former professional boxer’s brain had been retained at Southampton General Hospital following the investigation into his death. His dad Malcolm and sisters Michele, Dominika and Anouschka were informed as part of the national Human Tissue Audit that started across the country in 2011. Michele, 48, of Ryeleaze, Shirehampton, said: “We try to put what happened to Karl to the back of our minds but it’s always there – we can never forget it. “This has meant we’ve grieved all over again. Walking into that crematorium carrying those ashes, I went through exactly the same emotions as I did when he died.” Karl, 26, from Brentry, was a heavyweight boxer nick-named “Dolph” for his resemblance to film star Dolph Lundgren. On December 30, 2002, he was with friends at Tramps nightclub in Playa de Las Americas, Tenerife, when they were the victims of what was said to be an unprovoked attack outside, involving snooker cues and metal barstools. Karl was flown back to Britain and put on a life support machine in Southampton, but died two days later. Officers believed between eight and 10 people were involved in the attack and although two men were initially arrested and released without charge, no one was ever convicted of his murder or manslaughter. The nightclub was closed down. Avon and Somerset constabulary were involved in the murder investigation, working with police in Tenerife. Since 2011, a national audit on tissue and organs retained following investigations of homicides and unexplained deaths has been carried out. The local force, working with the Avon Coroner, has been informing families affected nd helped them dispose of body parts through burials and cremations. However, there has been a dispute between the force and Mr Andrews’ family over his brain. His sisters claim they were never told it was

his whole brain that had been retained, but that it was only small slides containing brain tissue “the size of a matchbox”. The police are adamant they explained fully and have a consent form signed by Michele in June that states “brain and five blocks”, with the word “blocks” referring to medical slides. The disagreement has been complicated by the fact Karl’s dad suffers from dementia. Another sister, Dominika, 36, who lives in Thornbury, said: “If we had known it was the whole brain we would not have asked for a cremation, we would have buried it with Karl at Almondsbury Cemetery. “We have been really, really upset.” Police Superintendent Mike Carter said: “Our thoughts and sympathies have been with the Andrews family and other families who

After a tip-off an investigation revealed she had lived with partner Barry Wilson for almost three years without declaring it. Jefferies, 26, and Wilson, 40, of Church Road, Frampton Cotterell, pleaded guilty to fraudulently claiming income support, housing benefit and council tax benefit from January 2009 to November 2011. Judge Michael Roach yesterday handed them both 30 weeks’ jail, suspended for two years.

“ We try to put what happened to Karl to the back of our minds but it’s always there – we can never forget it. Michele Morris have gone through this difficult process. “We have been in touch with members of Karl Andrew’s family since July 2011, when they were told exactly what had been retained. This was at the same time we began to contact other families whose cases were reviewed by Avon and Somerset Constabulary for the Human Tissue Audit. “Karl’s family initially indicated they would like a burial, but earlier this year they decided to have a cremation. Our specialist family liaison officers worked with them to arrange this. “For some years now in our force area, there has been an agreement between the coroner’s office and the police to make sure families are made fully aware if and why any human tissue is retained during an investigation. We also work closely with families as they make plans for a cremation or burial to make sure their wishes are respected.”

IREWORKS... now don’t get me wrong, I love fireworks. When I was a kid I loved bonfire night, I waited all year for it, made the guy by stuffing old clothes with newspaper and finished off the head with one of those old cardboard masks and got really excited as my dad let off the fireworks one by one as we ate sausages. Brilliant! The thing is, now, I hear fireworks every month, sometimes every week, sometimes at two in the morning. It’s not just the big events and I can live with them, it’s random individuals letting them off any time any place and they’re loud! It’s not only me that would do something about this, it’s my dog. My dog Roxy is big, brave and fearless. She guards the house, swims in the roughest sea and sees off the husky that keeps trying to mount her in Ashton Court. But she is terrified of fireworks. She shivers, she cowers, she bursts into our bedroom and hides under our bed. She also speaks for every other dog, cat, hamster or pet meercat in saying that these random fireworks need to be controlled. They are terrifying good law-abiding pet citizens and annoying old vicars. Something must be done. As mayor for the day I will do it. If only for the pets, they are BANNED!
● I think the history of Bristol is undervalued and not promoted sufficiently. I think the signs should celebrate Brunel and Bristol’s engineering prowess. Instead of a sign saying Bristol is a cycling city I’d prefer a traffic-friendly message to all road users.
Welcome But what should our signs say about Bristol? Marc Rath marc.rath@b-nm.co.uk

RISTOL has much to be proud of – from its engineering masterpieces and maritime heritage to its more recent achievement of being crowned European green capital. But which of these successes should be trumpeted to visitors as they enter our city? The tired Welcome to Bristol signs, which thousands of people pass every day as they travel on main roads crossing Bristol’s boundaries, could be replaced – and a city councillor is calling for any new signs to celebrate the city’s history. Conservative Richard Eddy says he has received confirmation of the council’s intention to revamp its welcome signs from Neil Terry, the council’s area manager in highways and traffic. It has been suggested that the new signs could give visitors a better first impression of Bristol and what it has to offer.
Writing to Mr Eddy, Mr Terry said: “Before any signs are erected, however, it seems appropriate to consider what form they should take: should they be simple, standard signs or should they make more of a statement in relation to Bristol’s heritage or possibly its recent successes, such as the Green Capital award or its status as a Cycling City.” Mr Eddy has urged the council to “reinforce Bristol’s brand” with the signs, starting by replacing the Welcome to Bristol sign on the A38 Bridgwater Road boundary. But the ward councillor for Bishopsworth believes the recent successes are “political” and should not be boasted about on the new welcome signs. He added: “Whether we wish to indicate to motoring visitors that we were once hailed as a Cycling City or erect road-signs celebrating Green Capital status in 2015, which will soon become dated, is another matter. Most Bristolians have still to be convinced that Cycling City status can be deemed to have been a success at all. “Perhaps it would be more appropriate to celebrate the

LETTERS ✒ Missing details in the debate about library
A
S the published exchanges about the proposed new Cathedral Primary School and the suggestion that it be accommodated in part of the Bristol Central Library become ever more heated, it seems to me that both parties have failed to provide an essential piece of information, which should help solve the problem. The first missing information is about need. In light of the council’s abject failure to predict and plan for the massive shortfall of 4,500 places it is obvious that the city should respond to any reputable help in solving the problem. Will the council tell us if there is a need for a further 420 places in Central Bristol? The second piece of the jigsaw is about the value of the Cathedral School’s initiative. Will the 420 places provided be only for children living in Bristol and will the school give priority to pupils from Central Bristol? If the city needs a further 420 school places and the Cathedral School is willing to provide them, it seems obvious that the parties must cooperate. If not can we have a period of reasonable quiet.

Judges’ lodgings cost us £2,000 per night ✒I READ about two separate incidents involving robbery and distraction burglary. Two brothers stole a bag containing just under £6,000. As they both pleaded guilty all they had to pay was a victim surcharge of £100 each. No mention whatsoever of them having to refund the stolen money. Why not? The second incident involved two females who stole more than £1,000 from a 73-year-old nun. They too pleaded guilty and one was told to pay £200 compensation and the other to carry out 150 hours unpaid work. As a result the poor victim is £800 short (that’s if the compensation is ever paid). All four would, if I had my way, be made to work and work until they had paid off every penny they stole – until this kind of justice is handed out stealing and burglary will only
PICTURE OF THE DAY get worse. On the other hand I also read that certain properties in Bristol are used as lodgings for judges and cost us, the tax payer, £2,000 per night to run. Of the 32 lodgings across the country used by judges some can cost up to £3,000 per night i.e historic houses with full time chefs, housekeepers, win cellars and follies. It is reported, under a Freedom of Information request that our ministers are planning to close down some of the most expensive ones and move the judges into a hotel or bed and breakfast accommodation. I guess they won’t like “slumming it” after the luxurious accommodation they have become used to but once again why should the hard working tax payer continue to have to stump up for all their luxury and pampering whilst the rest of us try desperately to make ends meet? None of these wealthy judges and MPs has any idea how the general public struggle through life whilst they are cosseted, at our expense.

Cycle track beside the bypass is a good idea ✒I
CONGRATULATE Keynsham Town Council for offering their unanimous support for a cycle path running alongside the Keynsham bypass in their meeting on September 17. Although appearing a little bizarre of the council to encourage people to bypass the town, they recognised the safety need for cyclists venturing down such a fast and busy road. Following the cycle path which runs parallel to the dual carriageway from Twerton to the Globe, at Corston, this would be another significant step in creating a safe route along the entire A4 from Bristol to Bath and would mean a complete path from Satlford right into the
centre of Bristol. Following a question I asked of the Bath and North East Somerset Cabinet, I know that Sustrans have been appointed to conduct a cycle audit across the region which will include three public consultation events and a web-based mapping tool in order to find out the preferred route of any new cycle paths. It is my hope that through this audit, it will become clear that a cycle path along the Keynsham Bypass would be a popular and safe choice which may give access to the recent government allocation of £150 million for safer cycle tracks. Andrew Wait
I question the value of OAP flu vaccinations ✒ELDERLY patients are now being
encouraged to have their annual flu vaccinations. This is a profitable business for GPs who can make an extra £20,000 to £30,000 for doing very little. And it isn’t difficult to see why the annual flu vaccine bonanza is en-
thusiastically encouraged by drug companies. Vaccination is a multi billion pound business. But why do politicians promote vaccination so vigorously – particularly to the elderly who are so immunologically vulnerable? I’m a licensed and registered GP but I’m still waiting for someone to prove that vaccinating the elderly is safe or effective. On the other hand I’m not the only doctor to worry that the flu vaccine might do far more harm than good. It can certainly produce the very symptoms it is supposed to prevent. Could politicians encourage GPs to vaccinate the elderly because they are regarded as a drag on the nation’s crumbling financial resources? Are flu vaccinations promoted not to save lives but to kill off the elderly? If that sounds far fetched, remember that it is government policy for doctors and nurses to allow elderly patients who are blocking hospital beds to die. Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc Devon

YOUR SAY
Baldwin Street Ludicrous to make this road just for bikes
I
FIND the campaign to designate a large part of Baldwin Street car-free and create a centralised cycle-way, frankly, ludicrous (Call to make city road bike only, Bristol Post September 10). The fact that it comes within two weeks of a call to close four city-centre bridges to motorised traffic confirms that we are in the grip of highly-politicised pressure-groups who seem determined to destroy the economic vitality of Bristol. Is it any wonder that successful businesses like award-winning Wessex Garages have announced that
they are going to foresake the city and relocate something where both they and their customers are more welcome? Several years ago, I was initially delighted when a Highways Officer contacted me and declared that his department were considering transport works at a key junction in my ward. I immediately volunteered some minor works, which I had developed over 20 years, and would, in my opinion, reduce traffic congestion and inconvenience to residents at a stroke at very minimal cost to the local taxpayer.
The Highways Officer responded: “But, Councillor Eddy, your suggestion would make life too easy for the motorist.” Presumably, after the coming years, other businesses will emulate the example of Wessex Garages and relocate to South Gloucestershire and North Somerset, where the councils seem to want to encourage jobs and prosperity? Councillor Richard Eddy Conservative Councillor, Bishopsworth.

N the beginning there was C&A, Littlewoods and a host of unloved stores that had seen better days. Behind them ran Bond Street in a dull unwavering, unimaginative line. Then came bulldozers, workmen and tower cranes and within a few relatively short years the entire area was transformed into one of the most impressive shopping centres in the country. From the day it opened people came to Cabot Circus in their thousands. And they have kept coming and returning ever since. And no doubt they will do so for many years to come. All of this during what has been the deepest recession for a generation. Cabot Circus is more than a shopping centre it is a destination in itself. People come not merely to shop but to eat and to go to the cinema. As a consequence the city’s economy has benefited enormously as has its reputation. The first five years of Cabot Circus has been a remarkable triumph. And if it can achieve such success during an economic downturn then just imagine what it will do when things really pick up.

Review Manics show us the wonder on triumphant return
With my little ukulele in my hand...
A
S the celebrations for my 65th birthday continued at a frantic pace into their third day – my actual anniversary, as it happens – my wife and family embarrassed me with their generosity. There was an avalanche of gifts. And then my wife stepped forward, clutching something in its own black carrying case. At a first, cursory, glance you could be forgiven for thinking she had bought me a tennis racquet. That thought did flash across my brain and my spirits, kept so artificially high during the course of my anniversary weekend, flagged for a split second. Until, that is, I had the carrying case clasped in my hand. Inside was a small but perfectly formed guitar. Well, I know it’s not a guitar. It’s a ukulele. This was a novel approach to gift-giving, especially to one so devoid of any talent when it comes to playing a musical instrument. Although, I have always considered I was once capable of some mean air guitar movements to accompany Dire Straits’ classic Sultans of Swing. The uke (as we ukulele owners call them) came complete with a teach-yourself-to-play book and some funny little metal tubes, all welded together. The latter looked like a mini knuckle-duster but my wife assured me it was an essential piece of kit for running up and down the four strings. She revealed that the inspiration for her gift came as a direct consequence of a recent conversation we had with a friend over from California who said he’d taken up the ukulele and was rather enjoying it. I recall making some remark about how I envied his recently acquired musical talent and my wife seized the moment and headed straight for the nearest music shop the following day. She was already a big fan of the hugely popular Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, so it was a no-brainer decision for her. I would like to say that I have subsequently managed to get something approaching tuneful out of it. But the truth is I don’t know where to start. The last time I looked at anything like a music sheet full of notes was at some enforced tuition while at school. My inner self, however, is determined to achieve some sort of playing capability, though not, of course, to the level of the late great, gap-toothed, George Formby (and, yes, I do know he played a ukulele banjo). Anyway, one of the Post’s other columnists, Stan Cullimore, once of the chart-topping Housemartins, reckons he can get me knocking out a tune in just 15 minutes. I am mighty impressed by this offer. So I’m off to see him soon, clutching my little ukulele in my hand, as Mr Formby might have said.

Manic Street Preachers
★★★★✩
at Colston Hall: By Ian Templeton
W
ITH their 11th studio album – Rewind the Film – in the shops, the Manics made a triumphant return to a sold-out Colston Hall. Having just released a contemplative, some would say introspective, collection of predominantly acoustic based numbers it should have been no surprise that Blackwood’s finest would start the evening with 1992’s barnstorming Motorcycle Emptiness. With its searing James Dean Bradfield guitar and sing-along chorus it’s the musical antithesis of the latest material, but the anti-consumerist message and pro self-expression sentiment are common themes that the Manics continue to explore. Current single, Show Me The Wonder, showcased the Manics in upbeat mood. Gavin Fitzjohn’s trumpet part lifted the heart and Bradfield appeared to relish singing about the simple joys of life – not something he gets
to do too often. Cat Le Bon guested on the beautifully simple 4 Lonely Roads and although Rewind the Film missed Richard Hawley’s evocative vocal, Bradfield had a fair stab and substituted for Hawley’s Hawaiian guitar part perfectly. Nicky Wire’s thought-provoking lyric for the brooding 30-Year War, an analysis of class and the prolonged effects of Thatcherism that quotes Lenin and references Lowry, is the perfect juxtapose to the made-up middle-aged Welshman who spent a fair chunk of the evening’s proceedings leaping around in a white sailor suit looking like a cross between Michael Jackson and Captain Sensible. The band have described Rewind The Film as the coming-of-age companion piece to This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours, and as if to prove the point tracks from their 1998 album also featured heavily. You Stole The Sun From My Heart was astounding, an acoustic The Everlasting al-
lowed for mass crowd participation and Tsunami was elegantly stunning. Wire told humorous tales of past Bristol performances (good and bad) at the Bierkeller and The Fleece and Bradfield reminded those that weren’t aware that he, Sean Moore and Edwards attended their first ever concert at the Colston Hall. Echo & The Bunnymen were the band in question and JDB’s memories of approaching the band for autographs were entertaining and telling. As he often does, Wire spoke from the heart about Richey Edwards before the band crashed into the caustic hammer blow of Edwards’ Revol. Ironically dedicated to the long lost Bierkeller and its anti-music ‘pay to play’ rule, You Love Us cleared the cobwebs. The old stagers then went nuts for Motown Junk before the evening ended with the ultimate Manics anthem, A Design for Life.

A
DRIVER who drove dangerously around Bristol while high on horse tranquilliser has been banned from driving, but escaped being sent to jail. Trung H Vu said he didn’t know what ketamine was after taking it the night before, Bristol Crown Court heard. After he nearly hit another driver in Bedminster he clipped a kerb and other cars and forced an elderly woman to beat a hasty retreat at a zebra crossing as he swerved around her. He was “oblivious” when police pursued him, sounding their sirens and flashing blue lights, the court was told. Vu, 21, of Lewis Place, Hackney, London, admitted dangerous driving, possessing a class C drug, driving without a proper driving licence and driving while unfit through drugs. Judge Michael Roach gave him an eight-month jail term, suspended for two years, banned him from driving for 18 months, and ordered him to do
120 hours unpaid work and pay £150 costs. He told Vu: “The offences are unpleasant in that the dangerous driving was a committed piece of bad driving. You were fortunate you didn’t injure anybody. “If you were sent to prison you, as a naive young man, would be subject to the influence of others which would not be to anybody’s advantage. “If you repeat it in the next two years it is inevitable that you will.” Robert Reid, prosecuting, said a driver looked on as Vu swerved around a roundabout in East Street, clipped the kerb and veered to the middle of the road. Mr Reid described how oncoming drivers had to take evasive action, as Vu clipped other cars’ wing mirrors. Mr Reid said: “The driver decided to notify police. “He noticed a zebra crossing, where an elderly lady was waiting to step on, and she had to draw back as the defendant swerved to avoid her.” Vu failed to halt at a give-way sign and went over Bristol Bridge, the court heard. Mr Reid said: “He almost completely went on to the kerb, forcing a pedestrian back up against a wall.
“The defendant then went 90 per cent on the kerb and into the National car park. “Police picked up the vehicle, and said he was oblivious to their sirens and blue lights flashing. “The defendant pulled into the Galleries car park, mounted the kerb and that flattened a tyre as a result. “He stopped, narrowly missing a police car.” Police found a “confused and disorientated” Vu, and multi-coloured paint scuffs on his car. A blood test revealed he had traces of horse tranquilliser ketamine in his system, and he explained how he was in London the night before and had “taken a bit of K”. He was found to have .79g of the drug in his possession, Mr Reid said. Mary Cowe, defending, said it had been a lesson for her client, who had expressed unprompted remorse and regret. She said: “He didn’t know ketamine was a horse tranquilliser. “He didn’t think it would have affected him in this way.” Miss Cowe said Vu had trained to be a personal trainer and had then attempted to qualify as a nail technician.

IN HIS OWN WORDS ● Why design a low-cost prosthetic hand? “I’ve always been into robotics from an early age, playing with Lego technic growing up. From a robotics perspective, I’ve just always been fascinated by the intricacy and dexterity of the human hand. When it came to this project I just felt that prosthetics was a very constructive outlet for my passion. The money would be in military applications or industrial robots but I’m not really in it for that, I just love robotics.”
Rachel Gardner rachel.gardner@b-nm.co.uk
A
BRISTOL engineer with a passion for robotics has come up with a cheaper way to make new hands for people who’ve lost theirs. Joel Gibbard, 23, has always been fascinated by technology and over the years cultivated his passion by building various robotic machines, including a full-scale “self-balancing” scooter. He attended the University of Plymouth to study robotics and as part of his final year project decided to design a low-cost prosthetic hand for amputees. He graduated with a first class honours degree and spent the next two years honing his engineering skills at a firm in Newbury before returning to live with his parents in Backwell. After ploughing all his savings into setting up the Open Hand Project, which aims to make his final year project a reality, he has now created a fully-functioning prototype, which he calls The Dextrus hand. It uses electric motors to replicate muscles and steel cables to replicate tendons. 3D printed plastic parts work like bones and a rubber coating

Robot pioneer A big hand for Joel
BRISTOLPOST
● Joel Gibbard has been working on the Open Hand Project acts as the skin. All of these parts are controlled by electronics to give it a natural movement that can handle all sorts of different objects. Mr Gibbard says it will attach to a standard prosthesis available on the NHS. He is aiming to make it available for around £700 – ten times cheaper than the £70,000 cost he says people can expect to pay with current models, which have to be custom fit.
He said: “Current prosthetic hands can cost anywhere from £7,000 to £20,000, and then have to be custom fit at specialist consultations, which means costs can soar. Someone could probably expect to pay up to £70,000 to get one of the current models fitted. “The Dextrus hand is an alternative to that because it makes use of emerging technologies like 3D printing and great free software tools.”
Mr Gibbard has launched the project online in a bid to raise enough money through crowd-funding so he can work on the project for another year. At the moment the hand can only be controlled when linked up to a computer. He also wants to improve its appearance and refine and test the design to make sure it is as robust and functional as possible.
● Why will it be cheaper than existing models? “One of the most expensive aspects of leading robotic prosthetic hands is the materials used to create them. Titanium and carbon fibre enable these devices to be used all day and not wear out after a few months, but when designing on a budget these luxuries aren’t available. ABS plastic will be used to create the majority of the parts in the Dextrus hand. That’s the same tough, durable material that Lego is made from.” www.indiegogo.com

HEN you use a mobile phone or tablet, there’s a good chance the technology which helps it pluck the signal from the air and turn it into sound or information was developed here in Bristol. Bristol-based Nvidia makes chips and processors that power voice and data communications for mobile phone networks around the world. The firm is growing. Having already doubled in size since 2011, the Bristol arm of the firm has opened a new office and lab in Aztec West. It currently employs 196 engineers and plans to increase this to 250. Steve Allpress, vice president mobile communications software, said: “We are hiring aggressively.” The company was previously called Icera Semiconductor but was bought by Nvidia in 2011. The new owners kept – and expanded – the team and have invested £2 million in the new site, which is three times the size of its old base. The facility was opened by Science and Universities Minister David Willetts yesterday, who said he had been impressed by the workforce and gave a ringing endorsement for Bristol. “This is absolutely what the future of the British economy is all about,” he told the Bristol Post. “Bristol has got a great concentration of expertise and we are working very hard to attract companies like this to invest here. “This investment is a great vote of con-
fidence for Bristol and the British economy.” Mr Willetts said the concentration of world class universities in Bristol, Bath and UWE, along with corporate firms such as HP and all the smaller technology companies was “a great asset” and gave the area a strong technology base. “People here are very motivated and excited. They know they are working in one of the industries of the future,” he added. “It’s amazing what our phones and laptops can do and it’s all happening here in Bristol.” Mr Allpress agreed that the area was strong in “silicon expertise”, which was one of the reasons Nvidia had chosen to invest in it. “Bristol is a great area to recruit engineering talent with access to students from great institutions like the University of Bristol,” he said. “The technology we develop here in Bristol delivers the latest 4G functionality to smartphones, tablets and other connected devices – and it takes the smartest engineers to develop.” But despite the upbeat message, he said there were problems hiring people with skills on the software side of the business. “It’s challenging, we don’t have enough people with the right skills in that area. Typically when we take someone on it takes six months before they have enough skills so that they can contribute,” he said. The solution could be closer ties with the universities, something that Mr Allpress hopes to be in a position to influence – as he is also now a visiting professor at Bristol.

BRINGING PI TO LIFE A finger in every Pi ● Every film nominated over the past four years for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects was made using Nvidia technology. Recent films using the technology include Life of Pi and superhero
smash hit Avengers Assemble. The company invented the graphics processing unit in 1999, and has gone from strength to strength since. In China, its GPUs are in 80 per cent of personal computers sold.
GOING MOBILE Cross between office and workshop ● THE labs at Aztec West’s Nvidia base look like a cross between your typical open plan office and a workshop, only with a lot more plug sockets. It is here that engineers develop and test, and test again, the chips used to process voices and data for mobile phones and tablets around the world. The lab has its own mobile phone base station, allowing engineers to plug into the live network. There are even hot and cold areas
to check how chips respond in different conditions. Steve Allpress, vice president mobile communications software, said: “We have go to do so much performance testing checking it will work in all possible conditions on every network in the world.” Pete Hughes, vice president modem hardware and silicon, added: “Bristol is one of a handful of locations worldwide that is a centre of excellence for microprocessor and wireless communications expertise.”

tomorrow THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 FILM ● Adapted from a series of comics, R.I.P.D. (an acronym for Rest In Peace Department) is an otherworldly action adventure in a similar vein to Men In Black, which pairs a grizzled veteran and a gung-ho newcomer in a hunt for earthbound monsters. The trajectory of the central relationship from fractiousness to do-or-die camaraderie is achingly familiar.
EXHIBITIONS ● The Social Deformity exhibition features work by ten artists (including comic and dabbling illustrator Phill Jupitus), all examining the links between individuals and society. The show examines how individual pathologies can make themselves felt on a wider social scale – and vice versa. It runs until November 17 at the View Gallery on Hotwell Rd.
MUSIC ● Pasion Pura: The Other Spain is a coming together of Zarzuela, Spanish classical music and Flamenco, centred on the flamboyant figure of Federico Garcia Lorca. Manuel Falla is one of the composers featured in the programme, as well as Albeniz, Granados and Sarasate. Catch this treat for the ears tomorrow night at St George’s.
PUB ● Bristol beer drinkers have never had it so good, with a number of interesting new independent pubs and craft ale bars opening across the city in recent months. The latest is The Crofter’s Rights at 117-119 Stokes Croft, which opened last month on the site occupied by music venue The Croft.

PEAKS TEAM CLIMBS TO NEW HEIGHTS
You might think pretty much every mountain on earth has been climbed. But six friends from Bristol University managed to find seven previously untamed. Mike Ribbeck reports
W
● Ross tackles the final ridge towards the summit of Pik Currahee
HEN it comes to climbing mountains there are very few corners of the world which still remain to be conquered. Hundreds make it to the peak of Everest and every year adventurers from all over the world travel to Latin America to take on the Andes. But one group of students from Bristol has managed to pull off a remarkable coup and scaled seven previously unconquered peaks in less than three weeks. What has made the achievement even more incredible is the fact that the six students who took part in the trip of a lifetime are all relative novices when it comes to scaling mountains. The six met at Bristol University and became friends thanks to their shared love of mountains. The team decided they wanted to create history and scoured the maps and guides for mountains that had never been climbed before. After months of research they settled for a remote and previously ignored mountain range hidden away in Kyrgyzstan. The former Soviet country is one of the most remote nations in the world and its mountains have been largely ignored by the climbing fraternity. The six members of the team were all introduced to climbing at university and spent more than six months planning their adventure. The team was made up of current students Harry Kingston, Harry Bloxham and Alistair Docherty, and graduates Ross Davidson, Clay Conlon and George Cave. All are members of the University of Bristol Expeditions Society and the University of Bristol Mountaineering Club. The incredible challenge, which lasted for 18 days, took place in the Djangart mountain range – which straddles the border between Kyrgyzstan and China. Just getting to the region was a challenge in itself. The team had to fly from Gatwick Airport to the capital Bishkek before travelling 12 hours overland to the border. From there they were flown by helicopter into the mountains and to their base camp.
George said: “The truth is there are a lot of unclimbed mountains in the former Soviet states. We picked the Djangart mountains as they are not high enough to require oxygen but are more of a challenge than the Alps or other well-known places.” He added: “We had to decide on our routes and climbs when we got there. The Soviet military maps are outdated and Google Earth imagery is notoriously inaccurate in the area so the final objectives were only decided on arrival. “We first started to plan the trip in October last year so we were pretty thrilled to finally get started.” As well as a lack of local knowledge, the intrepid group also had to cope with the tough terrain and unpredictable weather of the region. The main target was originally to climb Pik – 5,318 metres above sea level. Its peak had never been reached before but the group from Bristol discovered that a team of Americans had got there first – just two weeks previously. So the team set their sights on climbing as many peaks as possible during their time in Kyrgyzstan. The final total came to seven first ascents, including Pik Currahee (at 5,025 metres), which took 16 hours to climb with a total of 29 hours on the mountain. George said: “Despite the initial setback, the expedition was a great success and we were lucky enough to experience some of the best Alpine ice the team had ever encountered. “To achieve seven first ascents was brilliant, it was a real thrill for everyone involved. “We celebrated with bread, chess and vodka before being collected from base camp by a Kyrgyz military helicopter after 18 days in the valley. “With a total of seven new routes on previously unclimbed mountains and no serious injuries or mishaps, we’re delighted with the great success of the whole trip.” The expedition was supported by the British Mountaineering Council, Mount Everest Foundation, Alpine Club and the University of Bristol. The team was also helped with the loan and donation of equipment for the trip from Berghaus, Alpkit, Buff and Bristol-based Dick’s Climbing.

THE CHALLENGE

The seven peaks LATE change of plans did not deter the team from pushing ahead with the plan to climb as many mountains as possible within the space of
18 days. Base camp was quickly established and two mountains were quickly conquered. Kichik Sauktor glacier turned into a successful double ascent of two virgin peaks on the Chinese border, Pik Little (4,850 metres) and Pik Currahee (5,025
metres), conquered after a demanding 29-hour climb at high altitudes. Next up was Pik Betelgeuse at 5,100 metres, another unclimbed summit near to base camp. The expedition was hampered by a short period of bad weather which meant they were confined to base camp. They passed the time playing chess. After the enforced break the team marched up the Akunguz glacier and claimed Pik Kasparov (4,822 metres)
and Pik Ozon (4,971 metres). Finally a push from an advance base saw the last two peaks climbed. The climb across the Djangartynbashi glacier saw Pik Feto (4,831metres) and Pik Topor (4,970 metres) conquered. The team finished its expedition with rock climbing, bread making, chess and vodka at base camp before extraction by Kyrgyz military helicopter and a triumphant return to the UK.

HE nights may be closing in and the mercury dropping, but in one Hartcliffe garden summer has never really left. Behind a terraced house in Hollisters Drive stands what is perhaps Bristol’s tallest sunflower – at a staggering 11ft 10ins. With its head in full bloom it towers above residents Patricia and Terrence Cole and their granddaughters Ayisha, 10; and Ayla, 8; who helped grow the plant. Terrence, 75, a retired lorry driver, said: “We planted a few seeds back in the beginning of March inside the green house. We potted them up later and in the beginning of May we put them into the ground with a bit of fertiliser – that’s all.” Terrance said it was really only when their granddaughters, who go to Headley Park Primary School, visited that they noticed how much the plants had grown. “It was amazing to see the excited look on their faces every time they visited. They kept on saying to me they thought it was going to beat the record.” He added that it had been a joy to watch the plant bring so much happiness. “The kids love it and they love being in the garden helping out. Hopefully one day it will rub off and they will have plots of their own.” Standing at just under 12ft, the plants are well short of the world record, set by a German gardener. But Terrence, a keen gardener, is proud of the effort which he says was done with nothing more than tender loving care. He said: “They don’t have anything special in them, just a bit of fertiliser here and there. I know it is a way off the record but I have never grown any quite as tall as these. “I don’t sing to them. Instead I just say ‘Please grow for me’. But I have sung to my cucumbers and tomatoes in the green house, I must admit.”

WORLD’S LARGEST ● ACCORDING to Guinness World Records, the world’s tallest sunflower reached 27ft. The height was recorded in Kaarst, Germany, in September last year and was grown by Hans-Peter Schiffer, who broke his own record set in 2009. In the UK, the tallest sunflower – 26ft tall – was grown by Wigan gardener Richard Hope last year. He broke the previous British record on 26ft, but was 4ins short of the world record.

Dear Richard ... could you please save our airfield DETERMINED town councillor has tried to enlist the help of billionaire Sir Richard Branson in an ongoing bid to save Filton Airfield. Doug Daniels, who has passionately campaigned for the airport to be saved, has written to the founder of the Virgin Group asking him to consider the much-loved site as somewhere to refurbish his fleet of planes or to support the site as an ancillary to Bristol Airport. Mr Daniels hoped to appeal to Mr Branson’s well documented love of Concorde but so far has not had a response from the man responsible for huge companies including Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Records. In 2003 Mr Branson, who is reportedly worth £3 billion, proposed to buy Concorde and in 2007 supported an ambitious project put together by former pilots and executives to return Concorde to the skies. In his recent letter to Mr Branson, Mr Daniels wrote: “As a former ardent supporter of your initiative to keep Concorde operational I am writing to you personally to explore the possibilities of retaining the Filton airfield. “With the airfield ‘sold off ’ by BAe Systems for housing development at the end of December last year I feel sure you will have considered it a gross destruction of a national asset. “As a town councillor at Filton and, prior to retirement, a senior aero engine designer for Rolls-Royce, I can state, quite categorically, that the action of BAe Systems virtually broke the hearts of Filton. “To see this excellent runway – one of the longest, most certainly the

ally to present a case for the retention of the runway for the creation of an airline maintenance base. “Or alternatively it could be used as an ancillary to Bristol’s Lulsgate airport where larger jets could be serviced and refurbished.” Filton Airfield was closed down in December last year because it was not considered to be economically viable, bringing to an end more than 100 years of aviation history. It was sold to property company Bridgehouse Capital Limited in a deal thought to be worth £120 million. The proposed Cribbs and Patchway new neighbourhood would see a total of up to 5,700 homes built on the airfield and surrounding area. But despite the seemingly done deal, airfield campaigners from Save Filton Airfield still believe they can save the site. And last week South Gloucestershire councillor Ian Scott wrote to an independent commission which is looking at the short, medium and long-term needs of the aviation industry in the years to come to say closing the site was mad when more runways were needed.

Breast cancer doesn’t mean the belly laughs have to be over Michael Ribbeck Chief reporter michael.ribbeck@b-nm.co.uk
A
S a general rule of thumb, breast cancer is not really a laughing matter – but Yvette Cowles is not the kind of woman to follow the traditional route. The 49-year-old is appearing in a one-woman show this Sunday in Clevedon which tackles subjects ranging from belly dancing to breast cancer. The former publishing executive turned her back on the rat-race just over ten years ago when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and decided instead to take up belly dancing. She said: “I had a high pressure job and I had a number of life-changing things happen to me which made me reassess my life. “I left my job in London and decided to go and teach English in St Etienne in France. I happened to be in a place where there were a lot of people from the Middle East. “They were very friendly and I got
● Yvette Cowles invited around to people’s homes in the evening after lessons. Arab women like to dance in their homes and it was there that I got really interested in the belly dancing, I absolutely fell in love with it.” Yvette has been hit by a series of health problems which would have left lesser woman defeated. She has had both breasts removed and the cancer has now found its way into her bones. To make matters worse the dancer, actress and comedian has just been
diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. An act that involves a breastless belly dancer sounds like a hard sell but Yvette has somehow managed to make it work. Her determination not to be beaten has seen her write a one-woman show based around her experiences. Sequins on My Balcony is a comic journey through Yvette’s life and the problems she has faced. It took around six months to write and tackles some very personal issues in a very public way. By the end of the show, just about every social taboo and embarrassment has been upended, shaken out, and sent packing. Added to that there is even some dancing thrown in for good measure. She said: “I did some talks for various Women’s Institute groups and it was one of the hardest things I have tried. I was incredibly nervous about opening up to people and talking about some very personal things, such as my relationship with my mother. “But I had a fantastic response and it gave me the courage I needed to press ahead with a show. One woman who I later discovered was riddled
with cancer told me to get out there and go for it, it was incredibly inspirational.” Yvette denies that her show is aimed largely at a female audience. She said: “The difference between men and women is that most men don’t particularly like to talk about their health and about cancer. “But I have had men come to the show who have told me that they really like the honesty and the fresh perspective.” Sequins On My Balcony is at the Clevedon Community Centre on Sunday at 7pm. Donations go to the Bristol charity Penny Brohn Cancer Care.

If I can’t keep my lions, I’m leaving Louis Emanuel Louis.Emanuel@b-nm.co.uk
A
SNEYD Park resident is to abandon his home and turn it into a ten-bedroom student house after losing his battle to keep his new 12ft lion-topped gate posts. Edward Packer, 73, who has lived at his house built in the style of a castle at Cook’s Folly Road for 17 years, said he was “fed up” with the situation which will see his £15,000 entrance turned to rubble. Council planners instructed Edward Packer to tear down his exclusive mansion’s new entrance – built without planning permission – earlier this year, but the builder appealed against the decision. He now has a month to remove the lions which planning officers found “contrast sharply with the architecture of [Mr Packer’s] house”. His defeat at the hands of planning officers was followed by a bitter attack on the “old farts” who objected, alongside a parting shot promise to turn the exclusive property into a large student let. Mr Packer, a builder of 40 years, told the Bristol Post: “We put in an appeal and unfortunately we lost. They have given me a month to take them down and we are hugely
disappointed of course. The officers obviously agreed to the council’s view and there is not a lot we can do about that. I think the only thing we can do is put the posts in the skip. There is no way to take them down without damaging them. “Losing the appeal was hard, but we have got over it now. It is my own home and I happen to like those lions. “As for the lions themselves, I will keep them somewhere – perhaps in the back garden. They are so quintessentially English and that was the point in the grand entrance.” He added that it would be a sad loss to undo all the work and take down what he calls a fitting entrance to his stunning mansion. He said: “I obviously really like them and they are high quality pieces of craftsmanship. I really don’t know what all the fuss is about. “It is all the objectors up here. It is the old farts who can’t seem to see the beauty in it. The younger folk have been generally supportive.” He said he would be leaving the property after the gate posts had been removed. “We are so fed up of this we are moving and we are going to be looking to turn this house in to a student let. I can get ten students in there with the size of the place, as a shared house.” Mr Packer added that the pillars were available to collect to anyone interested in having them.

HEN a Good Samaritan used the rhythm of a Bees Gees song to perform CPR on a Bristol pensioner, she thought saving his life was reward enough. Now, six months later, she has been reunited with the victim of the massive heart attack at a Bee Gees concert, where Barry Gibb himself – the last remaining member of the band – presented her with an award. Mr Gibb, performing in front of thousands, dedicated Stayin’ Alive to Sharon Thorneywork for her heroics, adding: “When I wrote this song all those years ago I would never have dreamed it would be involved in saving someone’s life.” Terry Holly, 68, from Whitchurch, was saved after Sharon pumped his heart to the beat of Stayin’ Alive on a bus in Birmingham following a cardiac arrest earlier this year. After racking his brain Terry finally found a fitting way to repay the admin officer who kept his heart beating with disco-inspired CPR. At a Bee Gees show at the NEC Arena in Birmingham on Saturday, where Sharon was a VIP guest, she

was recognised for her heroics by Mr Gibb CBE, who presented her with the Royal Humane Society award. Terry said: “I could never truly repay her for what she did for me but I wanted to do something which showed what her help means to me. “I was dead on the floor. She saw what happened and had the presence of mind to think back to the advert she saw and keep me going until the paramedics arrived.” He added that having Mr Gibb present her with the award was the best way he could think of to show his appreciation. The presentation was organised through Mr Gibb’s agent who also supplied tickets to the gig which the pair both saw. Terry added: “I’ll never forget what she did for me. I will also never forget the look on her face when I told her how I planned to repay her. “She was delighted to meet him and was in utter disbelief.” Sharon said: “It was a really thoughtful and lovely thing to do. But he really doesn’t need to repay me. Knowing that he is fit and well is enough for me. “It’s been amazing getting to know him since the incident and we are going to be friends for life.”

HEY are used to shimmying and shaking their stuff, but a group of 94 Zumba enthusiasts has now taken the bolder step of stripping off for a photoshoot. The regulars at the dance fitness classes in Yate and Coalpit Heath followed in the footsteps of the Calendar Girls by bravely baring all for a calendar in support of local breast cancer and domestic violence charities. They stripped off before posing with a selection of props to hide their modesty during a shoot at Pinkers Farm in Latteridge. Breast cancer charity Bust, which supports patients and clinicians at Southmead Hospital and Survive, which offers emotional and practical support to women in abusive relationships, will be the beneficiaries of the calendar. Among the men and women who took part in the naked photoshoot were survivors of breast cancer and domestic violence taking part for their own personal reasons. Instructor Jodie Horton-Stanley and her troupe of Zumba fanatics have already raised almost £7,800 for charities through sponsored events and parties but the 34-year-old was keen to come up with something new to raise even more money for local good causes. She has been running Zumba classes in the area for nearly three years, having started before the Latin dance fitness craze had really taken
off in Bristol “I was thinking about what we could do to raise money and one lady said ‘we should get our clothes off ’, and they all agreed,” Jodie said. “We had nearly 100 people put their name down and our Zumba group produced, financed and shot the calendar and the charities have been involved in helping us promote it. “A lot of ladies in the calendar have had breast cancer and domestic abuse is something that affects a lot of people but they don’t always talk about it. But since we have done the calendar people have said they were in abusive relationships. “The calendar has all different shapes, sizes and ages – it is normal people. We thought it was something nice to do and has brought everyone together.” Cancer survivor Susan Grant, 43, featured on the cover of the calendar. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. After a double mastectomy Susan benefited from reconstruction using a new method that was not available on the NHS at the time, but was funded by Bust in its trial phase. She is now a volunteer with the charity. “On the day of the shoot I was nervous at first but I was made to feel very welcome and soon felt relaxed and really enjoyed the liberating experience,” she said. Photographer Tracey Barron, also a Zumba instructor, took the photos for the shoot for free. The calendar is now on sale for £7.50 with all profits being split equally between the two charities and is available by contacting 07769 274440.
THE ORIGINALS
● THE idea of stripping off for charity calendars started with members of a Yorkshire branch of the Women’s Institute whose story was the basis for the film and stage play Calendar Girls. They were inspired to bare all for the 2000 Alternative WI Calendar after one of the members of the Rylstone branch, Angela Baker’s husband John, died of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1998. The 11 women posed with
strategically placed cakes, embroidery and an apple press for the original calendar, to raise money to fund a sofa for a hospital visitors’ lounge. But their calendar sparked so much interest they ended up raising more than £3 million. Their efforts led to the 2003 film Calendar Girls (above), starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters and sparked many am dram productions and inspired others to bare all for charity calendars.

BILLY SMART’S CIRCUS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS
MAKING HISTORY
PREVIEW
BE SMART – AND GO TO THE CIRCUS Louis Emanuel Louis.Emanuel@b-nm.co.uk
P
ORTUGUESE clowns, Romanian springboard acrobats and Australian trapeze artists have all staked their place on the Downs for the return of Billy Smart’s Circus. Now in its 67th year of touring, the international group of performers will be flying through the air, catapulting each other off springboards and firing arrows with their feet over 20 days from now until next month. The circus – on its first full tour of Britain for 30 years – kicked off in Bristol last night with a special gala event in aid of local charity St Peter’s Hospice. The troupe of 21 performers are aiming to fill the circus tent opposite the water tower on Durdham Down up to three times a day over the course of the run, which ends on October 13. Sammy Little, event organiser, urged people to take advantage of the show while it was in town. She said: “My message to people in Bristol is, you simply must come. It is not an option. “There is not one highlight I can pick out. People must come to see the whole show from start to finish and see all the acts – they are unique. “It is a great honour for these artists to perform for Billy Smart’s, so they will give it their all over every night. “The shows have given people so many memories over the years and they will bring people up to the Downs who will remember Billy Smart’s from when they were children.” Craig Litherland, 31, a trapeze artist from Australia, said the show
will be a classic circus day out. He said: “Shows like this are still a great form of entertainment, which is often overlooked. “The acts work really hard to produce faultless routines and we are always working on making them better for the audience. “We are just hoping we can live up to people’s expectations, because it is so rewarding to see people going away with a smile on their face.” Last night’s special gala performance took place at 7pm and helped celebrate the charity’s 35th anniversary. Before the show Tony Hopkins, Billy Smart’s Circus director, said: “We are thrilled to be supporting St Peter’s Hospice once again this year when we visit Bristol. We’re hoping for a sell-out show, to raise as much money as possible. “St Peter’s Hospice do great work in Bristol so it’s a pleasure to be putting on this special performance for them.” Billy Smart’s Circus became a household name in the 1950s, when its touring productions were known for being slick and professional. Petra Littlefair, community fundraiser at St Peter’s Hospice, said: “We have had links with Billy Smart’s Circus for many years, so we’re thrilled they are supporting us again this year. “The circus is a great night out for the whole family so we’re really looking forward to it.” St Peter’s Hospice, now in its 35th anniversary year, cares for more than 2,670 people with life limiting illnesses every year, as well as supporting family members. It costs £6.8 million to run the hospice yearly with 77 per cent of that coming from public and community support. Billy Smart’s Circus will be at Durdham Down from now until Sunday, October 13.

ILLY Smart rode the spectacular boom in the postwar British entertainment industry following the introduction of his New World Circus. The circus was launched in 1946, but after just a few years it had become one of the largest in Europe. The travelling circus boasted a 6,000-seater four-pole big top tent and its menagerie carried more than 40 horses, 15 elephants, and a large variety of exotic and wild animals. The circus caught the imagination of the British population and was recognised through a series of BBC television specials. The BBC started broadcasting from Billy Smart’s Circus in 1947 and over the years Billy Smart’s Christmas Spectacular became a BBC holiday tradition, which ITV took over in 1979 and carried on until 1982. The television specials remained in the 1970s and 1980s but the touring show faded away. The Guv’nor, as Billy Smart was popularly known in the circus, was a colourful character renowned for his sense of humour and remembered for his large Stetson hat and accompanying cigar. On September 25, 1966, Billy Smart died, after collapsing following a show. Following his death, his sons Ronnie, David and Billy managed the travelling circus for five years. The touring show returned in 1993, under Ronnie Smart’s sons, Gary and Lord Smart. A string of one-off shows followed in the 90s and the circus last visited Bristol in 2008. Bristol is the penultimate venue on this year’s tour which started in February.

THERE were two special guests of honour for the grand opening of the new Wallscourt Farm Academy in Stoke Gifford. The first was the academy’s own Gromit, painted by pupils in the summer with help from UWE student Bett Noris. The second was the school’s dog Noodle the Spoodle – a cross between a spaniel and a poodle. The primary school, part of the Cabot Learning Federation academy chain, opened its doors to its first 50 reception pupils earlier this
month. The school will teach up to 420 children aged four to 11. The academy’s state-of-the-art £5.4 million building was designed with flexibility in mind, letting teachers use more creative approaches to learning. Principal Susie Weaver said: “We have been really looking forward to transforming the wonderful learning environment into a buzzing learning space at the heart of this new community – and now we can see and hear that taking place.”

Friends cycle ‘200 miles’ in aid of Sean’s memorial
● Tom Casey with a number of Sean’s work colleagues who all took part in the charity challenge; right, Sean Phillips

RIENDS and colleagues of Sean Phillips, who died after falling from his bike into the Harbourside, have been raising cash for a permanent memorial at the site where he coached his son’s football team. Mr Phillips, 40, died while training for a 200-mile charity bike ride to Amsterdam when his front wheel got caught in the rail tracks outside the M shed last March. Yesterday, his colleagues attempted to cover 200 miles on static bikes at his workplace at Everything Everywhere (EE) in Aztec West. Funds are going towards a memori-
al planned for Backwell FC, where Mr Phillips was a youth coach. Mr Phillips had set up a Just Giving donations page for his charity ride before his accident. Funds raised have now reached over £9,000. The trip to Holland was aimed at raising money for Get Kids Going – a charity which gives disabled children the chance to enjoy sport. Tom Casey, a colleague and friend of Mr Phillips who organised yesterday’s fundraiser, took part in Mr Phillips’ planned trip to Holland in May. Referring to yesterday’s fundraiser, Mr Casey said: “It went really well with a lot of the slots taken up by people keen to take part. “It’s been a real success so far, with many thanks to Joe McCalman who has organised the whole thing. “The sponsorship has been good
too which will help towards the memorial which we will leave up to the family.” Another mass static cycle ride is taking place today at the EE offices at 2620 The Quadrant. A date for the inquest into Mr Phillips’ death has not yet been set. It is expected to take place this year and will look into how the accident unfolded. Mr Phillips’ wife and two sons paid tribute to the loving husband and dedicated charity fundraiser after his accident on March 6 this year. His family told the Bristol Post at the time that Mr Phillips had struck his head on the side of the Balmoral after getting his front wheel caught. He plunged into freezing cold water and passers-by attempted to save him before paramedics arrived at the scene.

NEW facilities for young people with learning and behavioural difficulties have been officially opened at HorseWorld. A new classroom, work room and boot room have been created at the attraction in Whitchurch. They will be used by six to 19-year-olds from across the west taking HorseWorld’s Discovery course, which is aimed at young people not in mainstream education. On the course, horses are used as a unique tool to offer multi-sensory teaching and promote learning and emotional growth. Many students are able to return to mainstream schooling after taking the course. A grant from charity Wooden Spoon helped pay for the rooms, which were unveiled yesterday by England rugby player Lee Mears and Champion Jockeys Richard Pitman and Graham Thor ner.

BORN: February 25, 1928 DIED: August 28 MARRIED: Shelagh in 1957 CHILDREN: Ian, Robbie, Alastair and Kate. GRANDCHILDREN: Six OCCUPATION: Management consultant and Scotland International rugby player
A
FORMER Clifton schoolboy who went on to win 13 rugby caps for Scotland has died aged 85. Robert MacEwen, known as Mac or Bob, was educated at Clifton College from 1936 to 1942 and then transferred to Bristol Grammar School. It was after the move he established himself as a hooker in the front row of the scrum under the tutelage of Haydn Tanner, the legendary Welsh scrum-half. After National Service in the RAF, Bob attended Loughborough College where he captained the 1st XV. Bob then went up to Cambridge University to study maths and economics, and was awarded a rugby blue in 1953 and 1954. The same year,
and whilst still a student, he was selected to play for Scotland against France at Murrayfield. His second game was against New Zealand in February 1954 which Scotland narrowly lost 3-0 after a controversial penalty. He wasn’t selected for Scotland in 1955 as they had adopted a policy of not selecting Scots who played for English Clubs – a source of much frustration for Bob. His final cap came in 1958 against Wales in Cardiff out of the Lansdowne club in Dublin where he played for a season while working in Ireland. Bob retired when his wife Shelagh was expecting. He was a strong advocate of the importance of coaching but was also of the firm opinion that bad coaching which stifled player initiative was worse than no coaching at all. These creative and analytical tal-
ents were put to good use in the 1960s when he was asked by the Rugby Football Union to join the RFU Coaching Advisory Panel. Bob had to resign from the RFU in 1969 when he moved to Northern Ireland, but he was immediately involved in the Ulster Coaching Development Group. After retiring from rugby he turned to a business career as a management consultant. He sadly lost Shelagh to cancer in 1985 and battled myeloma himself for 20 years. For his final period of his life Bob returned to Oxfordshire to live near his daughter, Katie, and son-in-law, Simon, in the village of Stanton Harcourt. He never missed a match on television right up to the triumphant 2013 Lions tour of Australia. Bob was remembered at a memorial service in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire, on September 17.

EASONED fundraiser Martyn Bennett raised more than £800 as he celebrated two decades with his employer by embarking on a 20-mile walk for charity. It means the 54-year-old has raised a massive £4,000 for the Thornbury-based charity Meningitis Research Foundation by participating in a variety of events. His walk-to-work marathon took just over six hours to complete and saw him walking from his home in Thornbury to his place of work, National Windscreens, based in St Philip’s. The regional sales and marketing director has taken part in the Bristol 10k and half marathon, as well as the Great North Run. He said: “Twenty years’ service is a career milestone which has to be celebrated. “It was an excellent opportunity to raise much-needed funds for Meningitis Research Foundation which has been doing a great job for more than 20 years in researching this potentially fatal disease. “I originally aimed to raise £800 and I am
delighted to have exceeded my target thanks to all the generous support and donations from my friends and colleagues.” Martyn started off before dawn, at 4.40am, with a chocolate bar and high energy drink for breakfast and arrived in Bristol to a big reception and a buffet lunch to celebrate his achievement and long-service milestone. Meningitis Research Foundation is the chosen charity of National Windscreens in Bristol, which in recent years has raised some £17,000 towards its £20,000 target for the organisation. Supporters can make donations towards Martyn’s fund-raising campaign by logging on to www.justgiving.com/martyn-bennett20 years. Kate Baldwin, Meningitis Research Foundation’s corporate and development fundraising officer, said: “We’re so grateful to National Windscreens for their continued support and want to congratulate Martyn on the success of his latest fund-raising venture for us. “The money raised by the walk will enable us to continue our vital work into the prevention, detection and treatment of meningitis and septicaemia, as well as supporting families affected by them.”
Man headbutted girlfriend
A
JEALOUS boyfriend with a drink problem headbutted his girlfriend in the face after he came home drunk. Milan Molnar, 25, of Coronation Road, Southville, admitted assaulting Lucia Sopkova, his partner of four years. Bristol magistrates yesterday gave him a one-year community order, including 80 hours’ of unpaid work, and imposed a two-year restraining order banning him from any contact with her. Prosecuting, Jeremy Oliver said the pair from Slovakia lived together on Waterloo Road, near Old Market, at the time of the attack on August 28. He said Molnar would drink alcohol “every day” and would often display jealous traits, insulting Miss Sopkova if she ever wore a skirt, damaging her dresses and getting angry if she went on a sunbed because he thought she only wanted a tan “for other men”. On the night of the assault, Miss Sopkova returned home from work and went to bed at about 11.30pm.
She stayed awake and used her mobile phone to browse the Facebook website and send some text messages to a colleague. Molnar, who works in catering, was out drinking after his work shift. Mr Oliver said when Molnar returned home he got into bed with her and started questioning her, asking her who she had been texting. After she told him he was “really drunk” Molnar grabbed her arm and headbutted her on the nose, causing it to bleed profusely. Miss Sopkova rushed to the bathroom and locked herself in, but Molnar still managed to enter and started apologising, blaming the alcohol for what had happened. She suffered swelling, bruising and soreness but her nose was not broken, the court heard. Magistrates heard that the defendant, of previous good character, had learnt from his experience and was not going to put himself in such a position again.

Bristol’s European Tour golfer Chris Wood writes exclusively for The Post
● European Tour players have a great debt of gratitude to Seve Ballesteros and should do everything to take part in the trophy named after him

Tour Talk
HE start of my run towards the end of the season begins at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship this week. It is one of the best events of the year and incorporates two separate competitions – an individual tournament for the professionals and a team event in which players are paired with some of the most recognisable amateurs from the world of sport, music, film or anywhere else for that matter. Held at the Old Course, St Andrews, the Championship Course at Carnoustie and the Kingsbarns Golf Links, we are able to play three of the best and most respected links courses
in the UK. Crucially, there are also plenty of Official World Golf Ranking points up for grabs. Excuse the pun, but I’m really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things having not played since just missing the cut at the KLM Open in the Netherlands earlier this month. I’m playing seven out of the next eight weeks, eventually finishing up at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Before that, though, I’ll be teeing up in Paris, Portugal and Shanghai. Next week is the Seve Trophy, a team event where Great Britain & Ireland take on continental Europe in a Ryder Cup-style format. I've qualified for the tournament based on my position in this year’s Race to Dubai, although it must be said that a lot of the players who are eligible to play have decided against doing so. That is something I don’t

agree with as I think a tournament named after the late, great Seve Ballesteros deserves to be played between the strongest teams possible. It was only a couple of years ago when lots of the eligible players commented about Seve's premature death and how he needs to be remembered by the European Tour. That has been done, yet it seems to have been forgotten by some. It is a real shame. But it should still be a memorable week. Away from golf, I still can’t believe that Bristol City remain winless in League One. I thought last Saturday, where they twice led away at Swindon Town, was going to be the moment. Hopefully Saturday’s game against Colchester at Ashton Gate is the moment those elusive three points arrive. That, coupled with a strong performance from myself up in Scotland, would be a perfect weekend.
Filton’s young guns prove too strong for Henley FILTON got their AASE campaign underway with a resounding 46-14 victory over Henley College at Cribbs Causeway. George Tavner’s men lost their opening fixture seven days earlier, going down 22-7 to St Paul’s College, but bounced back in emphatic style, outscoring the London Wasps Academy by eight-tries to two. Filton’s attacking intent was evident from the word go, and they went about their business with ruthless efficiency, operating at a tempo that Henley simply couldn’t live with. Try doubles from the outstanding Andy Uren at scrum-half, skipper and
centre Chay Smith, his midfield partner Lucas Slowik, as well as five pointers from wings Josh Daly and Callum Jones, secured the spoils for the Bristol-based side. Uren and fly-half Ian Gardiner added three conversions between them to round things off. Filton took control early on, with Uren calling the shots during his man-of-the-match performance. The lively half-back mixed his options well, and kept Henley’s fringe defenders honest with a series of muscular sniping breaks. Filton’s forwards, though smaller in size than their Henley counter-
parts, got on top in the tight, and carried with more dynamism. Ashley Challenger, for example, who came on as a front-row replacement, ran hard and direct, and added fresh impetus to the Filton attack up front, while the menacing midfield presence of England centre Slowik proved a constant threat when Filton moved the ball into the wider channels. Filton led 19-0 at the break, with Daly, Slowik and Uren crossing for tries and Gardiner adding two conversions. The home side got try number-four shortly after the restart when Smith coasted in after another blockbusting charge from Slowik.
Henley hit back with two converted tries to make it 24-14, but any hopes of a Wasps revival was soon quashed, as Filton took their game to the next level to rattle up 22 points without reply – Uren, Slowik and Smith grabbing their second tries, while replacement wing Jones polished off a sweeping move to take Filton past the 40-point mark. Tavener said: “I’m very happy with the all-round performance, and of course with the full-time score. We know there will be tougher challenges ahead, but, by the same token, I believe there is plenty more to come from this group.”

Sebastian Beach is ready to hit back Tim Mitchell – The Racing Post epsport@b-nm.co.uk THERE was a distinct stench of badly-burned fingers after Sebastian Beach was turned over at long odds as favourite earlier this month, but the youngster can make amends in the Bibendum EBF Maiden at Goodwood. Having gone into many notebooks following a satisfactory debut fourth at Newbury last month, Richard Hannon's charge looked to have a very good chance of scoring next time at Salisbury, but was found wanting in the closing stages. On paper, that was a disappointing effort especially as he was sent off 4-11 favourite, but there might have been a valid excuse as the ground at the Wiltshire course was very much on the quick side and he gave the impression he was feeling it in the closing stages. Given that the underfoot conditions in West Sussex are now on the rain-softened side of good, there will be no reason to justify another defeat and he should lead his rivals a merry dance and score. Globetrotting Grandeur made the long haul to America to contest the Arlington Million in Chicago last month, and was far from disgraced in finishing a slightly unlucky seventh after being forced very wide on the home bend. Back on home soil, the four-year-old has been found what appears a decent opportunity to regain the winning thread as he lines up for the Listed Greene King Foundation Stakes which represents an obvious drop in class. Before his trans-Atlantic adventure, Grandeur had been runner up in a Group Two contest at York and that form should be good enough to take care of his rivals on this occasion, especially as the booking of Ryan Moore is something of a bonus. Moore also appears to have a sound chance aboard Battalion in the Hildon Natural Water Handicap as the progressive three-year-old will be bidding to make it a quickfire double, having romped to a very easy call at Yarmouth just over a week ago. His trainer William Haggas is a dab-hand with this type of horse at this time of year and, although Battalion has to concede lumps of weight all round, there is every chance he is up to the task as he will relish the cut in the ground.

Triathlon A will of iron to go the distance in the ultimate race
THE FACTS
WHAT IS TRIATHLON ● TRIATHLON involves swimming, cycling and running in immediate succession over various distances. According to the International Triathlon Union, the main international race distances are: Sprint Distance: 750 metres (.465 mi) swim, 20 kilometres (12.5 mi) bike, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) run Olympic distance: 1.5 kilometre (.93 mi) swim, 40 kilometre (25 mi) bike, 10 kilometre (6.2 mi) run Half-Ironman: 1.9 kilometre (1.2 mi) swim, 90 kilometre (56 mi) bike, and a 21.1 kilometre (13.1 mi) run Ironman: 3.8 kilometre (2.4 mi) swim, 180.2 kilometre (112 mi) bike, and a full marathon: 42.2 kilometre (26.2 mi) run
Completing a marathon in just over four hours is a proud achievement but when you’ve already swum two-and-a-half miles and cycled 112 miles it is remarkable. Rob Perkins meets the man who achieved this feat
H
E may not look like Robert Downey Junior, but Akhil Viz certainly lives up to the name Iron Man. For the 24-year-old engineer, from Patchway, is one of the youngest competitors in the ultra distance triathlon, commonly known as the Ironman. When you realise that to take part in an Ironman event you have to complete a 2.5 mile swim, 112 miles on a bike before finishing with a 26-mile marathon, you can perhaps understand why so few people are up for the challenge. Just one of the disciplines in such an event would leave many gasping for an iron lung with the three disciplines needing not only iron will but stamina, preparation and discipline. And Akhil has all of these in abundance having been chosen to represent GB in the European Championship Ironman in Vichy, France last month where he came sixth in the 25-29 age group and 189th out of more than 700 competitors. His time of 10hrs 48 mins, smashed his previous best by one hour 26 minutes, and saw him complete the swim in one hour four minutes, the 112-mile bike ride was finished in five hours and 30 minutes and the marathon knocked off in four hours and six minutes. Akhil said: “Vichy turned out to be an amazing race and one that I will remember for a long time. I was not expecting to finish under 11 hours and I am yet to come to terms with the fact. I have been grinning from ear to ear since crossing the finish line and getting rid of it will take a lot of effort. “My legs on the other hand have a different story to tell. They were sore and I was struggling to walk after the event. I’m now just happy to put my feet up for a while.” The aerospace engineer, who comes from Girbraltar originally, is nothing if not a driven individual and, although he has dedicated his spare time to training for such an event, he believes that many people could take part in one of the triathlon disciplines.
Akhil said: “Almost all triathletes are time-crunched due to the fact that the sport requires having to train in three different disciplines. Juggling a full-time job and 10-15 hours of training a week requires a focused mind. “I usually wake up at 4.30am every morning to fit 2-3 hours of training before work, but I am in bed by 9pm every evening. I prefer to train work as it wakes me up and after-effects keep me buzzing for the rest of the day. “It is a matter of being organised and disciplined and having the motivation to do the training required to take part.” Akhil only took up triathlon two years ago, after moving to Great Britain from Gibraltar, where he was a natural sportsman – he captained the British Overseas Territory’s under-13 team and was vice-captian of the under-15 team, as well as being a keen oarsman. But while studying aerospace engineering at Sheffield University, Akhil took to cycling and long distance running and decided to challenge himself by competing in triathlons. His first race was in Spain in August 2011 and from then on, he was bitten by the triathlon bug and challenged himself to take on the ultimate triathlon chal-

● Pitbulls’ Mike Hargreaves goes to ground during the 10-2 win over Swindon Wildcats at the weekend Graham Goodman epsport@b-nm.co.uk
T
HE Bristol Pitbulls opened their NIHL Division Two Cup campaign with a comprehensive 10-2 win over local rivals Swindon NIHL Wild-
cats. Swindon had signed Liam Williams from Bristol during the week, adding an extra edge to a game where several players in both teams had played for the other. And it was perhaps that desperation to make sure bragging rights were won over former team-mates that contributed to the edgy start. Bristol’s Lithuanian import, Egidijus Bauba, opened the scoring with two minutes left in the period. This was quickly followed by man-of-the-match Olly Shone’s first goal of the game before Bauba scored his second.
Perhaps the quality of that Bauba goal unsettled Kevin McGurk in the Swindon net. Certainly, Bristol came out flying for the second period, scoring four goals in just over three minutes to make the win safe. Shone, Spence, Mike Hargreaves and Adrian Smith were the scorers. Bristol hit penalty trouble at the midway point with both Jordan Smith and Tom Asprey picking up ten-minute misconducts. Hargreaves said: “I wasn’t pleased with that. We took a lot of pride last season with our discipline. But we’ll iron out the creases as the season goes along. It might have come down to a bit of sloppiness because guys can get knocked off the game plan.” Newton scored an eighth goal for Bristol before the second break prompting a change of personnel for Bristol in the final period. Netminder John Dibble pulled himself to allow back-up Ross Webster to get some
Pitbulls player-coach Richie Hargreaves ● It doesn’t take much to get up for local teams. The guys in my club had a point to prove and vice versa. Swindon raised their game but couldn’t sustain it, as I don’t think they were really able to play with us. We just kept to our game plan and eventually broke through the gaps. And once one leak appeared, they all started coming.
Picture: www.flyfifer.co.uk valuable ice time. Hargreaves added: “When games are out of reach or you have momentum, it’s a good opportunity to give some guys more ice time. I’m not going to learn anything from a 10-2 game and Dibble is the same. At 9-1, he’d done his job. “So we let some of the guys who are trying to get more experience get a bit more ice time.” Adrian Smith’s second goal of the game and Jordan Smith’s second in two games sandwiched Swindon’s final score as the game wound itself down. Hargreaves was clearly delighted with his team. “ “Last season we were shooting lots but had little quality in them. This year, the quality is much higher because the guys have worked hard and buckled down.” Bristol have a weekend off before facing Slough on the October 6.
Murray targets the Australian Open after back op WIMBLEDON champion Andy Murray appeared in good spirits as he posted a picture on Twitter of himself lying in a hospital bed having apparently undergone surgery. Murray announced last week that he was electing to have the minor operation on the injury in order to avoid aggravating the problem further although it is understood that he will not play professionally again this season as a result. That means he will miss out on November’s end-of-season ATP World
Tour Finals at London’s O2 indoor venue, although the Scot will hope he can return to the tour in a stronger position following his recovery. Alongside a photo of him lying in a hospital bed with both thumbs up, he posted on Twitter: “Thanks for all the well wishes, means a lot to me...” The 26-year-old added: “First thing I said when I came round was “did I win?” #somethingsneverchange.” The back issue that Murray has battled with is an injury with which he has suffered before this year. It
flared up badly in May during the Rome Masters, prompting him to abandon a second-round match against Marcel Granollers and pull out of the French Open. The Scot and his team have carefully dealt with the complaint since then, and it did not prevent his run to Wimbledon glory in July. While he played a full role in Great Britain qualifying for the elite World Group of the Davis Cup with victory in Croatia, there were concerns that his back was giving him trouble.
However, Murray won two singles matches and partnered Colin Fleming to a doubles victory as Great Britain defeated Croatia 4-1 in Umag. His straight-sets triumph over Ivan Dodig, which gave Britain an unassailable 3-1 lead, looks to have been Murray’s final match of the year, one which saw him end the 77-year wait for a home men’s singles champion at Wimbledon. Murray should be back on court for the Australian Open in January.

Clifton hockey make light of captain’s absence with win CLIFTON, without captain Aileen Davies, had to work hard for the points against newly-promoted Beeston, who had opened their season in Investec Premier Division with a 7-0 victory over Sutton Coldfield. The first half was played primarily in midfield with both sides having a reasonable amount of possession. The experience of Izzy Palmer, ably assisted by Emma Griffiths and Dawn Mitchell, helped Clifton, while Jo Carter was also prominent in the home defence. The half-time talk from coach Steve Rixon worked wonders for the home side who gained a penalty stroke after seven minutes following a foot infringement by the Beeston defender on the line. Zoe Leach calmly slotted the ball home, her stroke finding the top left hand corner of the net. Liz Sinton made a surging run out of defence to set up a promising attack which came to nothing and Josie Rixon shot wide following a well executed cross from Zoe Leach. Two Clifton players and a Beeston player were given cards by umpire Rob Jenkins, the home side having to defend the closing minutes a player short. Beeston threw caution to the wind in the final minutes in an attempt to snatch a draw by sacrificing their keeper and using only outfield players. The move came to nothing, however, with Clifton retaining possession to earn a deserved victory. Clifton travel to University of Birmingham this week looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season. Meanwhile, National Conference West, Firebrands Ladies had another disappointing result, going down 4-0 at home to Isca. Coach Martin Macblain praised the teams battling display, but was disappointed that two controversial decisions resulted in the visitors goals. Isabel Rosie gave an outstanding performance in goal for the losers. Firebrands face another tough game on Saturday away to Gloucester City in a West Country derby. Firebrands 2nds lost 4-2 against local rivals Clifton 2nds in their opening Premier 1 match in the West Women’s league, Georgie Collett (Field) scored both goals for Firebrands. Yate were 1-0 winners over Taunton Vale in the same division. League action in both men’s and women’s leagues begins on Saturday, Firebrands men play Robinsons in their first match since relegation from the National League. Firebrands also play at Yate on Sunday in a National Cup match. Thornbury Ladies are looking for another goalkeeper following a serious injury to one of the club’s keepers, Thornbury train at Castle School, Thornbury on Monday evenings 7.30 – 8.30pm .

Steve
Snell Post pundit’s view on Somerset and Gloucestershire cricket
Cricket Somerset must act quickly to strengthen squad
T
HERE will be a nervy few days in store for everyone associated with Somerset, as they aim to cling on to their LV= County Championship Division One status. Although Derbyshire went into the final round of fixtures in a perilous position, 16 points behind Somerset, a win or full bonus points for Derbyshire – coupled with a loss for Somerset at Trent Bridge – would see Somerset slip into Division Two. This is an unthinkable consequence for all that are connected with the club, and with Jos Buttler’s exit from Taunton to Lancashire understood to be imminent, it could make for a tumultuous finale to the season. Somerset fans have been used to
consistent showings in the longer format, and questions will be asked of the leading figures of the club regarding what reinforcements will be brought in to mount an assault on next season, regardless of the opponents Somerset find themselves pitched against. Neither their batting nor bowling has been consistent or potent enough over the duration of the fixture list, and one strong addition to each of these facets will provide further competition for places and generate stronger selection dilemmas for the director of cricket, Dave Nosworthy. This proactive action may contribute positively to stronger performance in four-day cricket next season. Buttler leaving the club will mean further resources would need to be
acquired; it would also provide some funds to do so, as the services of an England wicketkeeper do not come cheaply. One particular young player that would fit the bill for Somerset would be Leicestershire batsman Ned Eckersley, pictured. He has had a phenomenal season for his struggling county, scoring 1,275 runs in Division Two in a side that have been anything other than competitive. The Leicestershire batsman could also be the solution to a potential wicketkeeping hole left by Buttler. Eckersley is a more than competent gloveman, though reticent to do the
● Jos Buttler, left, looks likely to leave Somerset to join Lancashire
job on a full-time basis. He could therefore provide more than adequate back-up behind the stumps if Craig Kieswetter suffered an injury or regained his international spot. As mentioned in these pages some months ago, Buttler’s departure, though disappointing for Somerset, would come as a surprise to very few. In order to play Test cricket for England, and replace Matt Prior on a long-term basis, Buttler needs to keep wicket more frequently. It would be interesting to hear if any pressure has been leveraged on him by the England management to
move to pastures new in order to fulfil his undoubted talent. It may also be the case that Buttler’s own ambition has dictated that a move is the necessary kick-start for him. The idea does seem more than logical. Unfortunately for Somerset fans, it seems a common sense decision (for Buttler’s career at least) has been reached. Lancashire have made their indications clear as their first-choice keeper Gareth Cross has been released, which simply would not happen without another alternative in place. The path to the cobbled streets of Manchester for Buttler seems clear. Hotpot, rather than Cheddar cheese, looks as though it will be on the menu more often next summer for the England ODI and T20 keeper.
REFLECTING ON THE ENGLAND SQUAD SELECTED FOR THIS WINTER’S ASHES SERIES IN AUSTRALIA ● THE England winter touring Test squad rarely fails to cause conjecture regarding which players have been deemed successful enough from the summer’s county and international campaigns to represent their country. A corny line that is used by many an old pro is: ‘It doesn’t matter how, it’s how many.’ But that catchphrase could not seem further from the truth in this era of professional cricket. Contrary to this, it is as though, rather than the volume of runs or wickets that have been accrued by players in county cricket, it is a
● Caption perception of likely success from the England management which would determine if you make the plane to Australia. Graham Onions and Nick
Compton are the statistical anomalies that support this case. The options chosen ahead of them do not compare favourably in terms of statistics. Compton (who has not been selected) has scored eight centuries against the red ball in the same period that Michael Carberry (who has been selected) has scored one century in Division Two. While I do not doubt Carberry is a fine player, if this was the Tudor era, a decision like this backfiring would see chairman of selectors Geoff Miller being placed in the
stocks and pelted with tomatoes if he dared to visit Taunton next summer. Durham bowler Onions has a similar case to take to the jury. He has taken 143 wickets in the last two first-class seasons and the selectors’ decision to omit him certainly point to the tactic of playing bowlers that possess greater height and therefore bounce. That is great in theory, but remember the biblical parable of when David dispatched Goliath? Though I could not substantiate that any reverse swing generated
from the smooth side of the pebble played a part in the giant’s demise, it emphasises a point that, while raw power is a useful component, sleight of hand can also provide a point of difference. The selectors have made their bed and decided that physical preferences and character profiling when selecting their squad is a more important element than past performance. And that is strange in a game where the numbers and data couldn’t be more compelling and most obvious in the cases of Compton and Onions.

Glo’sters boosted by Dent’s battling 84
D
AVID Hussey marked his final appearance for Nottinghamshire with a century which should go a long way to salvaging his adopted county's survival in Division One of the LV= County Championship. The Australian leaves Nottinghamshire at the end of the season, but added to his crucial role with the bat in Saturday's Yorkshire Bank 40 final success with an innings of 125 on day one of the contest with fellow relegation candidates Somerset at Trent Bridge. He arrived at the crease at 76-4, but left after adding 214 for the fifth wicket with Michael Lumb, who made a century of his own, as Nottinghamshire ended the day on 378-7, after being put into bat. Hussey strode out after Samit Patel had lost his off stump to Alfonso Thomas to depart for 16. Lewis Gregory, who finished with 3-89, created early alarms by removing Steven Mullaney and James Taylor in quick succession, with neither man playing a shot at the ball. Inexplicably, before he had scored, Hussey also decided to shoulder arms and looked fortunate to survive a confident lbw appeal from the bowling of Thomas. From then on, apart from a sharp chance which was missed by James Hildreth when he'd scored 58, and a leg-side spill by wicketkeeper Craig Kieswetter just before his eventual downfall, it was Hussey's day. His 43rd career century – and 23rd for the county he first joined in 2004 – was brought up with an elegant cover drive from Gregory, reaching the milestone from 144 deliveries with 16 fours. Lumb passed 1,000 championship runs for the season during his stand of 214 with Hussey, a county fifth-wicket record against Somerset. Content to play second fiddle for most of the day, the left-hander expanded his repertoire once Hussey was caught behind off Craig Meschede. Lumb celebrated his fourth cen-

Chris Read fell towards the end of the day for 39, leaving 20-year debutant Brett Hutton, in for the injured Andre Adams, to score his first championship runs in the final over. Somerset's bowling options had been severely reduced when the umpires ruled that England prospect
Jamie Overton had to be removed from the attack. Officially warned, after a beamer had struck the hand of Hussey, Overton received more notices of intent before two very short-pitched deliveries tested their patience for a final time. The fast bowler (1-52 from 10.4 overs) had already delivered an ill-disciplined performance, sending down eight of the 13 no-balls delivered, with extras eventually totalling 46 by stumps.

RISTOL City stand-in goalkeeper Elliot Parish made an emphatic case to retain the number one jersey at St Mary’s last night. Forced to play second fiddle to Frankie Fielding in League One this season, the former Aston Villa and Cardiff stopper has been restricted to a diet of knockout football. Again offered an opportunity to impress in the Capital One Cup, the 23-year-old summer signing produced a stand-out performance to limit Premier League Southampton to a modest margin of victory in this entertaining third-round tie. Time and again, Parish defied the Saints as the shots rained in on him to give Robins head coach Sean O’Driscoll a decision to make ahead of Saturday’s home fixture against Colchester United. But there was nothing even Parish could do to keep out the 15th-minute thunderbolt that the classy Gaston Ramirez produced to separate the sides. Despite that early setback, City refused to be overawed and gave as good as they got after the break to give Southampton a real fright. Staunch in defence and brave on the ball, the Robins carved open the home defence on a number of occasions as they came on strong, only to be frustrated by a series of near misses. There was no doubting the relief in the Southampton camp when centre-back Jos Hooiveld headed in a James Ward-Prowse corner seven

minutes from time to finally subdue the West Country challenge. Although their bold attempt to go beyond the third round for the first time since 1989 ended in failure, City can take heart from a performance that will do wonders for confidence ahead of this weekend’s return to league action. When Crystal Palace selected a second string team in the second round, City took full advantage to beat the Premier League newcomers 2-1 at Ashton Gate. Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino made 11 changes from the side that beat Liverpool at Anfield four days earlier, but there lurked the suspicion that the south coast club possess greater strength in depth
than the Eagles. Although City started well enough, moving the ball quickly when they had it, and working hard when out of possession, Saints needed just 15 minutes to demonstrate their top-flight quality. Danger loomed as Ward-Prowse attempted a shot from the edge of the penalty area and Aden Flint did well to block his effort. Unfortunately for the visitors, the ball looped up into the air before falling invitingly for Ramirez, whose sweetly-struck volley whistled past Parish and into the top left-hand corner of the net. Ramirez then turned provider in Southampton’s next attack of note, dinking the ball over a flat back four for Japanese striker Tadanari Lee. Parish was alert to the danger and raced from his line to block the forward’s shot from the edge of the six-yard box. Fluid in their approach play, Saints were finding the gaps and Parish again distinguished himself when turning aside a ferocious angled drive from Lee. Ramirez was emerging as the home side’s biggest threat and he again tried his luck from range, beating Parish and the far post and then

curling another effort narrowly off target. But while it remained 1-0, the League One side was still in with a chance and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas served notice of his ability to create something out of nothing, engineering space for himself inside the penalty area and testing Kelvin Davis with a low shot on the turn. Second best for much of the opening 45 minutes, City remained undaunted and displayed notable bravery after the break, moving the ball to good effect and taking the game to their Premier League opponents. Joe Bryan tested Davis with a 25-yard drive and then produced a superb cross which eluded a full-stretch Emmanuel-Thomas by inches at the far post. Encouraged by those near misses, the Robins continued to press and Davis was forced into a spectacular finger-tip save to keep out a dipping shot from Bobby Reid. O’Driscoll withdrew Bryan and sent on Marlon Harewood for the final 20 minutes and the veteran striker came agonisingly close to scoring when arriving a split-second too late to turn in Nicky Shorey’s low centre.
POST VERDICT Andy Stockhausen ● Undone by Premier League quality and saved by Parish in the first half, brave City came on strong after the break to give Southampton a real fright. An excellent performance from the League One side, who maybe deserved more

RISTOL’S already-stretched back-line resources are being placed under increasing strain, after Luke Eves was ruled out for six weeks following surgery on his hand. Centre Eves has joined a lengthy casualty list among Bristol’s backs, with Errie Claassens, Jack Tovey and Jack Wallace definitely ruled out for the foreseeable future. In addition, Charlie Amesbury, Fautua Otto, Bryan Rennie, Nicky Robinson and George Watkins are either carrying knocks, or coming back from long-term injuries. Bristol director of rugby Andy Robinson, whose team face Jersey away on Saturday, said: “Our back-line is taking a few knocks at the moment – but that’s part of the game. We’re disappointed for Luke, but he will get the right treatment and we expect him to be back in six weeks’ time. “You never like injuries, and you feel for players who pick up injuries, but from our side, there is depth in the squad. However, with the other players who are missing, it does expose us a little bit.” In two GKIPA Championship matches this season, Eves is the only Bristol back to have scored a try – a last-minute effort in the 23-21 defeat to Cornish Pirates on the opening weekend. But Bristol will have to do without him when they head to St Peter this weekend to face a Jersey side who will be brimming with confidence after beating Bedford 26-14 last weekend. “It’s tough – it’s really tough – particularly when the injuries are contact injuries, such as Claassens’, Watkins’, Otto’s and now Eves’,” said Robinson. “But that’s what happens in the game – it’s a contact game – and we’ve got to be able to handle that. “Obviously, within the forwards, it
● Bristol’s Luke Eves offloads the ball during last Sunday’s game against London Scottish Picture: johnwhitemedia.co.uk would be easier for us to handle that, given the amount of forwards we have. We’re not carrying as many numbers in the backs, so it has challenged us hard. “But what I’m pleased about is that we’ve got some good youngsters, who will potentially get opportunities.” There is a chance Bristol could welcome centre Otto – who missed last weekend’s win over London Scottish – back from injury this weekend, while Rennie, Robinson and Watkins will be hoping to make their first appearances of the season. “They’re all touch-and-go, and with all these injuries you’re weighing it up to see where they get to,” said Robinson. Also falling into that category is winger Amesbury, who has started both of Bristol’s matches this season, but went off injured shortly before half-time against Pirates. “Charlie Amesbury has got a slight knock, so he’s going to be touch-and-go as well,” said Robinson.

That point will help us massively, says Parkes James McNamara james.mcnamara@b-nm.co.uk SKIPPER Tom Parkes believes John-Joe O’Toole’s late equaliser that snatched a draw against Hartlepool United on Saturday has offered Bristol Rovers a timely confidence boost. Rovers had been on the verge of seeing their losing streak extended to four games before O’Toole scored in the last minute of the 2-2 draw at the Memorial Stadium. John Ward’s side will attempt to build on an encouraging second-half display when they attempt to collect their first points of the season away from the Memorial Stadium at Southend United on Friday night, and Parkes said: “I think getting a point in the way we did on Saturday will help us massively. “We were on a run of three defeats prior to Saturday’s game and we have been disappointed with ourselves

after recent games. We’ve been in every game we have played this season, other than the one when we lost at Dagenham & Redbridge, but we can’t hide from the fact we have conceded some very poor goals when you consider how strong we were in that area last season. “I can only recall us conceding one or maybe two goals from set-piece situations last season, and that we have struggled at that recently is something that hurts me personally as a defender. “It is still early in the season and I’d rather be going through a bad spell now than later on at a time when we may be doing well in the league – but we all know that we need to pick up our performances. “We have a great manager and a great bunch of lads here and we’re going to work hard on the training ground to make sure we give ourselves a good chance of getting something
from the game at Southend. They have not be in a great run of form, much like ourselves, and we have to try to take advantage of that.” Meanwhile, midfielder Seanan Clucas marked his return to action with a goal as a strong Bristol Rovers development side eased into the second round of the Gloucestershire Football Association Challenge Cup last night with a 3-1 win against Cirencester Town. Clucas, sidelined for seven months after damaging his cruciate ligament at Morecambe last season, played for an hour and was on hand to open the scoring by converting an Ellis Harrison cross in the 15th minute. Oliver Norburn doubled the advantage in the 31st minute, before Ellis Dunton pulled a goal back for Cirencester early in the second half. Rovers restored the two-goal advantage almost immediately when Harrison scored.
Bristol Rovers manager John Ward ● Southend are in a similar situation to us at the moment. I saw them get beaten by Scunthorpe recently, but they were unlucky not to be a couple of goals ahead in the early part of that match. Stuart Gray (chief scout) watched them draw at Bury on Saturday and they were again unlucky not to have the game done and dusted before they conceded a last-minute equaliser.
