LION OF JUTLAND
WHAT’S INSIDE
by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
Guns roared on the battle cruiser as she joined the bombardment of the German Imperial Fleet. HMS Lion was the flagship of the Royal Navy’s Grand Fleet and served with distinction in the First World War. Commissioned in 1912, two years before the outbreak of hostilities, the 26,690-ton leviathan bristled with the latest technology. She was 700 ft long and 88 ft wide. Four massive gun turrets housed two 13-inch guns each, backed up by 18 smaller guns. She also had submerged torpedo tubes. Lion was protected by armour plate up to nine inches thick. She sailed at up to 28 knots (32 mph) and had a range before refuelling of nearly 6,500 miles. About 1, 100 officers and men swarmed over this floating powerhouse. Among them was a young midshipman, 16-year-old Cecil Molyneux
SERVICES LINK Need a gas fitter, electrician, plumber, cleaner etc - one of the youngest officers on board. The Battle of Jutland was the biggest sea battle of the Great War. The Germans opened fire on the afternoon of 31 May 1916 and met with an immediate response from the British. Lion (pictured on a contenporary postcard)

and HMS Princess Royal were the leading Royal Navy ships. Lion engaged the Kaiser’s battleship Lützow, whose gun crews were very skilled and fired off deadly accurate barrages of shells. Lion, commanded by Admiral of the Fleet David Beatty, scored the first hit on Lützow which retaliated with withering fire. One of her shells hit Lion’s ‘Q’ turret at a range of more than nine miles. Everyone in the turret was killed or wounded and the blast started a terrible fire. Flames leapt high in the air,causing many more casualties. Major Francis Harvey, the mortallywounded turret commander, ordered the ship’s magazine to be flooded, stopping it exploding. He was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross for his swift action. Also among the dead was Cecil, younger son of the 6th Earl of Sefton of Croxeth Hall. He was buried at sea but is remembered on a memorial stone with other members of his family in St Chad’s churchyard, Kirkby. The Lion survived the inconclusive battle and returned to her duties after repairs. Cecil and his ship are commemorated on a memorial window in Sefton Parish Church, near Crosby. • Join the West Derby Society at the Molyneux family’s West Derby Courthouse open 2 pm - 4 pm every Sunday April to October (not Easter Sunday), admission free.

HOLLY LODGE 92ND BIRTHDAY EVENT Reflecting on the past - looking forward to the future! On Saturday 26th April 2014 Holly Lodge Girls’ College held its 92nd Birthday celebration and reunion for pupils and s t a f f ; o l d a n d n e w. Marjorie Harrison (nee Bridge) was our oldest pupil at 102 years of age
and she was able to reminisce with Joan Ashman (both pictured below) who at 99 was only a couple of years after her. 800 former pupils came along to say a fond farewell to the old Holly Lodge site and to have a peek at the progress being made
towards our bright new school. We were delighted to welcome some important visitors including MP Stephen Twigg who launched the day’s celebrations alongside former pupil Kerrie Hayes, recently nominated for a BAFTAfor her part in ‘The Mill’. We were also pleased to have the company of Mark Featherstone
Please have a look at our Facebook page and school website for more information: www.facebook.com/HollyLodgeGirlsCollege www.hollylodge.liverpool.sch.uk

Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa
Ditch the dentures to fix your smile WOULDN’Tit be fantastic to neverhave to worry about a denture moving orslipping ever again? Having the confidence to choose anything off the menu and
being able to laugh, sing and speak in public without that subconscious fear that your denture will let you down at the worst possible moment? Dr Marius McGovern, clinical director at Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa, is passionate about ending denture suffering by using implants to provide same-day teeth. He said: “Having missing teeth can have a social and functional impact,but here at Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa we aim to address this for our patients by providing same day fixed teeth. “Many people are now aware that dental implants can replace single missing teeth in a highly successful, attractive and long lasting way. However, the advancement in dental implant techniques allows replacement of all missing teeth and full dentures with All-on-4 in a single day!” The All-on-4 system is similar to many other dental implant systems; the main difference is that only four implants are re-
quired, cutting down the amount of surgery needed to fit them and the number of screws to hold the teeth in place. The All-on-4 system provides a secure base for a full arch of lower or upper teeth.
Open Day 26th and 27th June
PASSION:Dr Marius McGovern,clinical director at Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa
Dr McGovern continued: “With dental implants the roots of your missing teeth are replaced with the highly specialised titanium cylinder which actually integrates with
your bone and becomes a part of you! “The pressure of biting on food is transferred through the implant into your jaw just like with y o u r o w n teeth.Multiple implants are placed to distribute the biting force and allow almost natural function. “At Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa our highly experienced team of dental surgeons are delighted to offer you a comprehensive consultation to discuss your dental issues and develop a customised treatment plan just for you. “The team are so excited about this rapidly evolving field of advanced
dentistry and see dental implants as a way to change people ’s lives for the better!” • For more details call 0151 236 8280, visit www.liverpool implants.co.uk or drop into Liverpool Implant & Aesthetic Dental Spa at Brunswick Street, Liverpool, L2 0PJ.

LORD MAYOR VISITS HOLLY LODGE To mark the end of their course and the culmination of 2 years’hard work, Holly Lodge Girls’ College Year13 Art & Design pupils celebrated with a private view of their work. The art exhibition was officially opened
by Liverpool Lord Mayor, Councillor Gary Millar, with Young Lord Mayor and Holly Lodge pupil Audrey Mberezenga and Liverpool’s Junior Lord Mayor in attendance. All work was inspired by a short story titled ‘Oranges Are The Only Fruit’ writ-
ten by local writer Cath Bore. Her story, inspired by a painting called ‘The Mystery Lady of Gladstone’s Library’, in turn led to a variety of responses from the year 13 artists. The project led to a great, creative chain reaction leading from art to literature, back to art. Guests all wore
something orange and all artwork was accompanied by a QR Code which hid the pupils’creative intentions. The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Gary Millar tweeted after the show: “A fantastic exhibition and the first time I’ve eaten ‘rotten’ oranges!”

Turnip is a lovely dog and very friendly, a big hit with his carers. As he is still young, he can get very over excited and likes to jump up, however a simple reward based training method would solve this, with help from Dogs Trust Behaviourists. Turnip is looking for new owners who will continue his training. He gets along with other dogs, and could live with children over the age of 12 who don’t
mind his bouncy nature. If you think you could give Turnip a home of his own, please contact Dogs Trust Merseyside on 0151 480 0660 or drop into the centre at Whiston Lane Liverpool L36 6HP, United Kingdom Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity and cares for nearly 17,000 stray and abandoned dogs each year through its network of 18 Rehoming Centres across the UK and one in Dublin

2014 WORLD CUP by Ian Wignell
www.liverpoollink.co.uk
For every football fan, the World Cup is the pinnacle of football’s elite. Every four years sees the world’s finest players representing their nations in a bid to be crowned football world champions. This year’s tournament takes place in Rio de Janeiro (starting 14 June) and the hosts Brazil are clearly one of the favourites to win - not only as they are on home soil but with Felipe Luiz Scolari back in charge they look a much better team. With key
players like full back Daniel Alves, with his pace and power down the flank, and his Barcelona attacking teammate Neymar, they will surely be a force to be reckoned with. B r a z i l ’s S o u t h American counterparts Argentina have also got a strong chance of doing well in the competition. When two of your attacking players just happen to be Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi, it’s enough to frighten the living daylights out of any team. With no European team ever winning a
World Cup on South American soil, it has to make their chances that little bit better. Current world Champions Spain are another team capable of beating anyone on their day. The Spanish midfield is packed with an abundance of quality. With players such as playmaker maestro Xabi Alonso, Xavi and Andre Iniesta they are surely one to watch, although their age may be a factor in the intense heat of Brazil. Uruguay are another team with a good chance, although not clear favourites. They
19 have a rather strong squad and with Luis Suarez, top scorer in the Premier League this season with an impressive 31 goals, is one the opposition defences will have to keep a close eye on. You can never count out the technically brilliant Germany or Italy, both really hard teams to beat and both well-organised units of football brilliance. Belgium are a good outside chance, having been unbeaten in their qualifying group, and with a young team with an average age of 24, they should have the stamina to deal
with the climate. The Dutch also have a decent side but sometimes too many egos within the squad. Everyone in our nation will hope England will do well, but we are in a very tough qualifying group. I’m glad Roy Hodgson has chosen to go with a younger group of players who have more energy and balance with players of experience too. But one thing’s for certain - every football fan in the world will be full of eagerness and anticipation when the tournament starts on 14th June!!
A SEASON OF NEAR MISSES FOR SOUTH by Jim Stanway
Conceding a goal after 30 seconds is never the best way to start a cup final and so it proved
f o r S o u t h Liverpool FC in their first appearance in the Liverpool County
FA Challenge Cup for 13 years. A second goal conceded after 20 minutes proved too much to re-
Cameron Dalton - leading goalscorer for season shown heading goalwards in our home game against Mossley Hill in April.
cover from and although leading goalscorer Cameron Dalton got one back just after half-time Garswood United proved to be a tough nut to crack with the final scoreline at 2-1. As is often the case, losing a cup final can prove to be a disincentive in the final league games and although South had a chance to finish second in the West Cheshire League 1st Division, behind runaway leaders Maghull, three defeats in the last four games saw them finish in fourth place. Although this was a highly creditable position in their first season at such a level, it was a disappointing end to the season. Special mention must
go to centre forward Cameron Dalton who scored 37 goals, including 4 hat-tricks, to add to his 36 goals in the previous season. The reserves finished just outside the promotion places, losing decisive games in early April to both Rainhill Town and
Hale Reserves, the two promoted clubs, but winning their final five games to finish above early leaders St Helens Reserves. Special mention must go to centre forward Curtis Cummins who bagged 37 goals despite serving a lengthy suspension

DISAPPOINTING SEASON FOR THE CROFT FINALLY DRAWS TO A CLOSE by Mick Titherington ways this was symptomatic of the club’s season as it was the fifth time they had conceded in the last ten minutes of a game to drop points. With long term injuries to key players mixed in with the nonavailability of others for various reasons and a chaotic fixture programme, the club could be justified in believing the gods had conspired against them. Nonetheless the failure to convert chances and some basic defensive errors can’t be ignored when the club’s officials review the team’s performance over the season. Fortunately, due to the demise of other
clubs they are assured of Premier League status next season. There are, however, a number of positives that can be taken from the campaign not least the number of games that could have quite easily gone the other way where points could have been gained rather than dropped. Liam Currie, Eddie Baker and Paul Finnigan are players of outstanding ability and Danny Raggett, Dean Boakes, Michael Henney and Kevin Kirkpatrick, all of who became available late in the season, are players who brought class and experience to the side. Joseph Mogale, another late addition to
the squad, and youngster Callum Walker are great prospects and have the potential to influence the direction of the club in the future. Added to these, Adam Boakes, Bruce Crumbleholm, Gary Allen, Simon Baker and Brian Porter turned in consistently high performances, Andy Wright played his way into the repSe 24 rv hr ic e

resentative side and earned himself good reports. And If Sam K e r s h a w, M i k e Kinney and Jon Bowers can regain their fitness and Jack Kelshaw and Matty Adamson are available more often, there is a case for optimism. It is invariably the case that no sooner does one season close then attention switch-
es to the next and manager Ross Kirkpatrick will now sit down with the committee and see if the basis of the squad can be retained and where improvements can be made. Most of the players will be involved in the World Cup (watching on TV that is!) and once that is over then preparations will begin for 2014-15.

by Peter Harrison
A season of transformation came to an end in mid-May with some mixed results. The first team completed their league fixtures with a good 1-0 victory against Manweb, with regular marksman Timmy Naylornetting the winner.
ished the second half of the season much stronger than the first and completed their fixtures with an unlucky 3-2 defeat away to Aintree Villa, with Mark Carney and
Mick Russell on the score sheet. The Ladies Sunday football team has seen a transformation in form and were pushing for the league title. The Mens Veteran
Sunday football team again won their league in the Cheshire Veterans League under manager Paul Watts, and Tommy Murphy and John Turner have successfully entered
another Sunday Veterans team in the Liverpool County League. The Mens open age team in the Liverpool Business House League have also competed well
with a top four finish under Tony. So in conclusion seven teams were fielded on both a Saturday and Sunday, providing sporting facilities for members
of all ages. Special thanks to all the managers and the hard work of the committee members Paul Barnes, Norman Maddison and Steve Bush.
