PRIMARY SCHOOL RUNNERS UP AT WEMBLEY
“We will have a fantastic new building which is at the centre of the regeneration of Manchester Road, and we want to find a really inspiring name which reflects its standing in the town and as a multi-use hub which is here for the whole town.
One of the key projects in the £24.1 million plan for Stocksbridge is to build a new Library and Community Hub building which will house a range of facilities, including high quality, managed workspace.
“It could be a name which is reminiscent of the town’s industrial history or something completely new, fresh and different. We’re really looking forward to hearing the ideas that the children come up with.”
Now the Towns Fund Board are calling on local school pupils to help them find a name for the new building.
A primary school football team played at Wembley last weekend. The pupils competed in the EFL Utilita Kids cup final this Saturday. Their journey began last October when they won a local phase tournament at Thorncliffe, hosted by SWFC. The team scored an amazing 40 goals, conceding just 1. The win would see the school go on and represent SWFC in the re-
gional tournament at Accrington Stanley in March. In the March regional tournament, the team performed amazing once again and got past the 11 other northern clubs in League One to win the tournament. Overcoming teams from Sunderland, Morecambe, Fleetwood among others along the way. They beat Crewe Alexandra 3-0 in the final to earn a place at Wembley.
ners, Portsmouth.
The game was played before the EFL League One play off final between Sunderland and Wycombe Wanderers, on Saturday 21 May.
If you would like more information about getting involved with the competition, contact the Stocksbridge Towns Fund Communications Officer on 07747 621902.
Children are being asked to look at the history and background of the site and the wider town and come up with ideas for a new name for the brand-new facility in their town.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These QHHG WR EH ¿OOHG LQ ZLWK QXPEHUV WKDW complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how ‘straights’ are formed.
