Mystery man's £100k bequest 'saves' charity A charity has been "saved" after a mysterious benefactor left the organisation £100,000 in his will. Staff at Age Active, which holds fitness classes for people over 50 in Sheffield, say the money was left by a complete stranger. The bequest to Age Active was a share of a £1.1m payout to 11 organisations which received donations. Dave Schofield, from the charity said: “It’s a miracle - like something out of the films or fiction.” The charity had been considering “shutting up shop completely” after the Covid pandemic lockdowns, Mr Schofield added.

TV comedians: Husband and Wife team, Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont performed at Ecclesfield School, with pre-show entertaimnent provided by talented pupils.

While exercise classes had been running at the Victoria Hall in Sheffield city centre for 30 years, there

was no record of the generous stranger ever having attended, he said. The first staff knew of the bequest was when it received a solicitor’s letter. “I was going to put it straight in the bin after I opened it and saw it wanted our bank details,” Mr Schofield said. However, after further investigation he saw included with the letter was a copy of the mysterious benefactor’s will. “It turned out he’d produced a list of 11 charities he’d left money to, one of which was us Mr Schofield said he thought the benefactor must have known someone who attended classes at the hall and decided it was a worthy cause.

"Drug-fuelled” pest who harassed relatives jailed

Mr Hewitt said: “The messages included references to carrying a gun or a knife and the defendant threatening to take an overdose and a text saying he had just smashed his house up. "He also said if you ring the police I will have you shot or the house fire-bombed and the lads are ready.” Hirst pleaded guilty in February to breaching his restraining order and was remanded into custody.

A “drug-fuelled” pest who breached a restraining order by continuing to harass and threaten his relatives has been put behind bars writes Jon Cooper for the Sheffield Star. Sheffield Crown Court heard on June 8 how Dominic Hirst, aged 33, of Whitwell Crescent, Stocksbridge, Sheffield, was originally convicted of causing damage and threatening to cause damage concerning his relatives, as well as burgling a pharmacy. Prosecuting barrister David Hewitt said Hirst had attended his auntie and grandparents’ address and made threats with an axe and he received a five-year restraining order in 2019 but between November 2021 and February 2022, he sent disturbing text messages to his auntie.

Zaiban Alam, defending, said Hirst has struggled with alcohol, drug and mental health issues and he has not had the benefit of any support since he has been a young adult. Judge Graham Reeds QC acknowledged Hirst’s remorse and that many references state that when the defendant is not intoxicated there is a calm, considerate side to him. But he added that when Hirst is struggling with drugs and alcohol against a difficult emotional backdrop he makes the lives of relatives unbearable. Judge Reeds said: “This was clearly a persistent breach on many occasions sending texts and turning up at your grandparents’ house.” He sentenced Hirst to 12 months of custody subject to the three-and-half months he has already spent remanded in prison.

Volunteer award The Friends of Oxley Park Group have been recognised with an Annual Citizens Award, from Stocksbridge Town Council. The group said “Among others, our group has been integral to the park receiving in the region of £1 million in regeneration funding. The project has already seen a new play area and stone sculptures, and will include a brand new all wheels park, 3G pitches, improved access, a beautiful sculpture trail and expanding the orchard. I’m proud to have been part of something this special and thank everyone who was involved in nominating us for the award. With the three of us all working full time, with small families and houses to keep, it has taken a lot of grit and determination to stay focused and committed to the cause… with that in mind I want to dedicate this award to the other 2 legs of the tripod, Lindsey and Pam!!!! Without you two, I would have surely given up.”

Bringing the past into the 21st century at Oughtibridge Mill THE new Oughtibridge Mill development by Sheffield’s award-winning Sky-House Co is combining the best of 21st century technology with a keen sense of the historic site’s heritage. For alongside the nearly complete 35 Sky-House properties - the acclaimed eco-living concept created by the architects at CODA Studios - the company is also taking on a major renovation and restoration of centuries old properties that provide a vital link with the past. A 19th century paper mill in the then tiny village of Oughtibridge became a successful and rapidly expanding business by the 1870s and was one of the first to produce paper from wood pulp rather than rags. The mill, for years one of the main employers in the north of the city, specialised in the production of tissues, especially associated with the Dixcel brand for many decades. The paper mill eventually closed in 2007 and all production at the site came to an end in 2015. Key to the success of the new housing scheme named Residential Development of the Year (fewer

than 50 homes) at the Insider Yorkshire Property Industry Awards 2021 - is the Sky-House Co conversion of a row of artisan cottages into four apartments and one house. And the next phase of the development will be the transformation of the former Oughtibridge Mill itself into a Sheffield’s first grocerant, a hybrid of grocery store and restaurant, retaining many of the building’s original features. “This really is a major breakthrough for Sheffield and particularly for the north of the city,” said Sky-House Co co-founder David Cross. “The original mill buildings are being transformed into a mixed use food hall, community hub - or simply a grocerant. “Already extremely popular in Europe and the USA, the grocerant concept blurs the line between traditional restaurant dining and grocery buying

The Oughtibridge site will be operated by Matt and Nina Bigland of Sheffield’s Cutlery Works and other pioneering and award-winning city dining ventures, along with Luke and Stacey French of the acclaimed “They offer a full range Joro restaurant. of freshly prepared foods In line with other Sky-House but if you don’t want to developments across South take it away and cook it Yorkshire, there will also be yourself, you simply get extensive parking, with vehicle them to cook it for you chargers enhancing the develand you eat restaurant opment’s green credentials. style.”

“A development the size of Oughtibridge Mill needs the best facilities and that is exactly what we are providing with the mill conversion,” said David. “We are confident that it will breathe new life into the old mill, retaining the heritage of the site but also enhancing it and also creating a new community destination, for food, drink, work and leisure. “Our Sky-House development in Stocksbridge has benefitted

from the Fox Valley effect, the way in which that project has contributed to the reinvigoration of a community. “North Sheffield is on the rise and finally gaining the popularity it deserves, with its great transport links and beautiful setting. “The interest in our Oughtibridge site has been enormous since before work even started and we look forward to the

project being completed by the end of the year. “Quite clear proof of the incredible interest must be that more than 50 per cent of the Sky-House properties are already, sold with the first occupiers now living in their new homes.” To find out more about SkyHouse Co visit sky-house.co

AMBULANCE WORKERS DEMONSTRATE AS GMB REVEALS CALLS ALMOST DOUBLE TO 14 MILLION SINCE 2010

Pressures ‘worst ever’ as demand rises ten times faster than number of ambulance workers, says GMB Union Ambulance workers demonstrated this week as data reveals calls have almost doubled to 14 million a year since 2010. In the financial year 2009/10 there were 7.9 million callouts, according to published NHS data. [1] But by 2021/22 the number had rocketed to 14 million – an increase of 77 per cent. This was ten times faster than the in-

crease in ambulance workers (up 7 per cent) during the same period. Ambulance workers will today stage a demonstration outside GMB’s annual congress, which begins in Harrogate, Yorkshire. [12 June 2022]. The increase in pressures on ambulance workers are the result of cuts to other health and care services, GMB said. The average response time for serious (Category 2) calls was 51 minutes in April 2022, compared to twenty minutes a year before. [2]

Meanwhile, more than a thousand ambulance workers have left their jobs since 2018 to seek a better work life balance, better pay, or to take early retirement. [3]

“The explosion in demand is due to savage cuts to essential services since 2010.

Rachel Harrison, GMB National Officer, said:

“Our members face unbelievable stress and even abuse while they do their best to administer care and save lives.

“Ambulance workers have faced more than a decade of cuts while demand has almost doubled. “It’s no wonder they are leaving in droves while the service itself is teetering on the brink of collapse.

"GMB members tell us the pressures they face are the worst they have ever experienced.

“We need urgent investment across the health and care services, otherwise we risk an unprecedented crisis.”

SCHOOL ADMISSIONS: SHEFFIELD COUNCIL TO INVESTIGATE TWO CLAIMS OF FRAUD Sheffield Council has received four complaints of alleged fraud relating to school admissions this year, two of which are still pending investigation. Details of the complaints emerged after a frustrated parent reportedly claimed at an online appeals meeting this week to be aware of other parents submitting false addresses to get their children into school ahead of more deserving candidates.

Father of three who beats cancer returns to the pitch in charity match Having taken on cancer and beaten it, Ben Palmer, 34, helped organise a charity game for cancer raising over £2000. St Georges Park Thorncliffe was the venue for the charity game to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. Organised by Ben Palmer, Adam Todd, Dale Shaw and Dave Adams, it saw the current RBL team play against a host of Legends that had played for the club in the past. The initial target was to raise £500, but they have already surpassed the £2,000 mark with over £500 in cash and over £1,500 on the Just Giving page. The link for the Just Giving page is here https://justgiving.com/fundraising/Chapeltown-Rbl-legends The Legends side saw some retuning names like Ben Leonard, Danny Cardwell, Andrew Hodkin, Tom Wright and Gaz Bacon.

Why Katie is supporting St Luke’s 50th anniversary Celebration of Life St Luke’s Hospice super supporter Katie Jackson already raised almost £6,000 in memory of mum Jane by taking part in the Sheffield Half Marathon. Jane, who lived with husband Paul in Chapeltown, spent the final six weeks of her life being supported by the St Luke’s Community team when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019. And it was the memory of the care Jane and Paul received that prompted daughter Katie to get in training for the tough sporting challenge, eventually raising a fantastic £5,782. And now Katie is sharing her family’s story and her memories of that time as she supports the St Luke’s 50th anniversary Celebration of Life event, which will be held in the St Luke’s Ecclesall Road South Gardens on July 10, from 2pm to 4pm. “We’d had one particularly bad time when we had actually had to call an ambulance because mum was in so much pain but when the St Luke’s Community Team got involved, all that changed,” Katie explained. “They were just wonderful, the most amazing people and they were complete specialists in the type of care and pain relief mum needed.

Yorkshire firms pledge support for Paces as it launches firstever Business Club Businesses from across Yorkshire have signed up to the first-ever business club from Paces, the leading specialist centre, charity and school for individuals with Cerebral Palsy and motor disorders. The Sheffield-based charity, founded 25 years ago, welcomed the founder members of Club 300, and others interested in joining, to a launch event at Wentworth Woodhouse in Rotherham. The club has been formed as a way for businesses of all shapes and sizes to support Paces’ life changing work focused on conductive education, which offers children and adults life-changing skills - such as sitting, standing, walking, speaking, communication and self-care. Membership costs just £300 per year and will entitle businesses to priority access to the charity’s events, exclusive networking opportunities and other marketing support. Full details of the benefits can be seen at www.pacessheffield.org.uk/club300. The twelve founder members are GXO Logistics, Cinderella Support Services, Professional Energy Purchasing, Andy Hanselman Consulting, Glu Recruit, Irwin Mitchell, City Taxis, Line One Sales, Dawson Radford

“It’s a time when power is completely taken away from you and you are in somebody else’s hands so it was really important to mum and dad that they were with people who knew what they were doing - it gave my dad the confidence that mum had the very best care she could have. “Most importantly, St Luke’s had time for mum and they made her life as bearable as it possibly could be in the six weeks between her diagnosis and her death. “The whole team were super practical and for us as a family, the most vital thing was that they were not all doom and gloom - they were really positive, which was very important, and they knew exactly what they were doing.” At the same time, the St Luke’s team were also able to offer support to husband Paul. “Mum didn’t get the chance to properly experience everything St Luke’s does but my dad did make use of the St Luke’s bereavement counselling for a short period and found it very helpful,” Katie said. “They’d been married almost 40 years and had been together since mum was just 17 and the counselling helped dad to understand that it is okay to speak to somebody about that loss and reaffirm that it is very hard.

“The people of Sheffield know how important St Luke’s is for the whole city it’s care for people who don’t have very long left and it is the best care you could possibly receive. “A lot of people at some point in their life will need to rely on St Luke’s and that’s why offering support is so important, making sure other can people can access the sort of care my mum and dad received.” Guests at this year’s Celebration of Life event will be able to enjoy tea and coffee, cakes and strawberries and cream or a full afternoon tea by Jameson’s Tea Rooms of Sheffield. There will be wreath making sessions by Sheffield florist Meadows and Mulberry as well as garden games, crafts and other children’s entertainment as well as a fundraising raffle and music. Visitors will also be able to share their own special memories on a St Luke’s daisy and in the St Luke’s Book of Celebration.

Solicitors, Bruce and Butler Cyber Security, TQ Environmental and Waverley Consultancy. They have already been joined by new members, including Stowe Family Law, MultiWeb Marketing and Universal Office Supplies, and more are set to sign up following the launch event. David Hall, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Paces, said: “Paces has received so much support from many businesses over the last 25 years so we felt it was the right time to launch a club that allows them to come together and show their support for our adults and children, and allows us to say thank you to them for their incredible efforts. “Our life-changing work is only possible thanks to the generosity of others across our community. Thank you to all our new members of Club 300 and, for any businesses interested in signing up, I promise this will be a fun and engaging partnership that makes a real difference to the incredible individuals we support at Paces.”

Two of PCSO’s went to Coumes Spring Children’s Centre, Oughtibridge to talk to the children about the Police and what we do. They had a good chat about what vehicles we use and what they need to do if they get lost before they were allowed to have a look around the Police van, including the cage cell in the back. All the children, staff and my PCSO’s had a great morning.

Investigation of Roman and Iron-Age habitation in Oxspring, Barnsley is awarded National Lottery Heritage Fund support

A local community archaeological group has obtained funding for a trial excavation of a local site which could be associated with Iron-age habitation as well as with the Romans. Thanks to National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund has awarded Oxspring Parish Council £9,960 for this dig in Roughbirchworth, Oxspring, after a geophysical survey found probable archaeological features which had been described on old maps as ‘Iron-age camp’. A number of finds have also been

made including Roman coins and brooches (photo). A spokesperson for the group, Barry Tylee said – ‘this is an exciting opportunity to discover whether there was more Roman and Iron-age activity in our area than previously thought. Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, we can explore this further and we are keen to involve as many people as possible from the local community’. The trial excavation will take place from the 1st – 12th August and if you wish to be involved please join our Facebook page (Roughbirchworth Community Excavation Group) and register your interest.

GXO launches academy with College Barnsley College and GXO have officially launched an academy strengthening the partnership between the two organisations and giving GXO apprentices a base at the College’s Old Mill Lane campus.

GXO provides students with a 12-month apprenticeship scheme where they can learn about warehousing and logistics and explore different areas of the business that support its smooth running, such as HR admin, finance

and facilities. Barnsley College supports with the academic training of the apprentices.

GXO is the second-largest logistics company in the country with over 15,000 members of staff. GXO works with companies including ASOS, ASDA, Carlsberg and Weetabix and has more than 140 sites in the UK. Helen Wetherston, Barnsley College’s Director of Business Development, said: “We have

worked with GXO for many years, so we are delighted to be strengthening our partnership with them by launching this Academy. It will offer GXO apprentices a dedicated space within the College to help them with their academic work. We are looking forward to continuing transforming the lives of those apprentices and helping them to progress to where they want to be.”

Nicola Barlow, Level 2 Warehouse Operative, said: “It has been quite inspiring, when I first started, I didn’t know much about the company or what it could offer. After finding out that I could further my career and climb the career ladder at GXO, everything became much more positive. You feel so valued and appreciated, being a part of the apprenticeship scheme is like a family, it’s lovely.” Sarah Ottewell, Apprentice Manager, added: “I joined the team in 2017, and since then we have had 407 apprentices with 98% of them graduating and receiving distinctions. It’s not just a credit to us, it’s to Barnsley College and their assessors for the work that they have put into each student.” Ken Perritt, Account Director of GXO, said: “We are proud to build on our longstanding partnership with Barnsley College, and this facility is a testament to our commitment to support education and career opportunities for all.” Barnsley College has a dedicated Business Development team which aims to help businesses identify and develop the best people, at the right level, with the right experience for their organisation. The College has a range of apprenticeships and professional training solutions that can be tailored to your exact requirements and will support your organisation to be productive and profitable.

LocalHistory Stocksbridge Chamber of Trade Badge An exhibit in the Heritage Museum in Stocksbridge Town Hall is the Badge of Office of the President of the Stocksbridge Deepcar and District Chamber of Trade, formed in 1898 as the ‘Tradesman’s Association’. It was presented to the Urban District Council in 1935 at the British Hall (which used to stand on Manchester Road), to mark the Silver Jubilee of King George V. The Badge of Office consists of a hand-engraved ‘jewel’ in gold and enamel, with an enamel painted representation of Stocksbridge War Memorial – the Clock Tower. It is attached to a blue ribbon, on which eight gold bars show the names and dates of the holders of the office, from Cllr Percy Schofield in 1932 to John Hanwell Esq in 1974.

Skills Minister Visits Northern College The Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills, Alex Burghart, has visited the Northern College at Wentworth Castle to meet with Principal Yultan Mellor and Miriam Cates, the MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge. The Minister was given a tour of the impressive campus, and spoke to students about their experiences of studying there.

The visit was arranged by Miriam Cates following recent success in helping to secure the future of the college, working together with the Principal and the Government to guarantee its independence and secure funding for its adult skills programmes. Northern College is one of just two providers of residential adult education in the country, offering a variety of courses to students aged 19

and over. It focuses on providing both educational and pastoral services to its students, many of whom have struggled to engage with education in the past but thrive in this supportive environment. The College is now keen to take on new students and help adults gain new skills and qualifications. It offers a variety of both residential and non-residential courses at different levels to ensure that education is available to everyone, regardless of their current situation. Miriam Cates MP said: "It was moving to talk to students who told us how studying at Northern College is having a transformative effect on their lives, and it was great to hear how many go on to find jobs and further training that they once thought were out of reach. The

The race runs round the 72 mile boundary of Barnsley in 10 separate legs ranging from 4 miles to 11 miles. It runs adjacent to the boundaries of Sheffield, Kirklees, Wakefield, Doncaster and Rotherham.

Other Presidents who were also Urban District Councillors were John Holling and Albert Jackson, with A Rogers Esq being the other non-councillor.

There were non-running clubs involved including Barnsley Council and Gibson Booth Solicitors.

Stocksbridge Chamber of Trade members, which numbered 22 at the time, looked forward to joining the Sheffield Chamber of Trade in 1974.

Cllr Percy Schofield (Mayor 1938) - 1932-57 Cllr John Parkin Holling (Mayor 1954) - 1958 A Rogers Esq - 1959 County Cllr Mary Balfour (Mayor 1966) - 1961 Cllr John Parkin Holling - 1962 and 1963 John Parkin Holling Esq - 1965-66 Cllr Albert Jackson - 1967-72 John Hanwell Esq - 1974 The Badge of Office is on display in the Heritage Museum in Stocksbridge Town Hall on Manchester Road, which is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 3.30pm – do come in and have a look at it. There are many other fascinating things on display in the Museum and the volunteers from Stocksbridge and District History Society will be happy to show you round and answer your questions.

There was a repeat of the 2021 race with Barnsley AC winning both the men’s and women’s races.

The race first ran in 1993 and was started by Barnsley Rockley Rotary Club and this year over £1,250 was raised to help their charity which aims at eradicating polio from the world.

The Chamber of Trade had organised social functions and raised money for many local good causes. They also provided four handmade wooden seats to mark the end of the Urban District Council which were placed around the town.

Stocksbridge and District Chamber of Trade Presidents:

"The Government has ambitious plans for adult education and Northern College is in a brilliant position to deliver skills and training both locally and nationally. This will bring new opportunities to people across South Yorkshire and help to level up our economy and our communities." Yultan Mellor said: "I was delighted to welcome Alex Burghart, Minister for Apprenticeships & Skills and our local MP Miriam Cates to our wonderful College. As ever, our students did us proud discussing with the Minister how studying at Northern College has positively impacted on their future work and life opportunities. I am sure that he took away the importance of this offer in supporting adults to develop the skills that will help them progress to further education and better jobs."

Barnsley Boundary Relay a Success

The annual running of the Barnsley Boundary Relay Race took place last Saturday.

Then because of local government reorganisation, the Stocksbridge and District Chamber of Trade became a member of Sheffield Chamber of Trade. Cllr Mary Balfour was Mayor of Stocksbridge at that time and had been the only woman President of the Chamber as a County Councillor in 1961.

beautiful setting and supportive atmosphere of Northern College is a key part of its success, alongside the inspirational leadership team led by Principal Yultan Mellor.

The 1st XI welcomed Shiregreen to Lucas Wheels Bracken Moor looking to make it five wins from five. Skipper Andy Hibbert won the toss and elected to field first. Opening bowlers Andy Hibbert and Jake Vickers got stuck into their work and got the 1st XI off to a flyer. With the score 38-5 Shiregreen we’re need something special to pull the innings back. Vickers picked up three wickets in the process and Hibbert two to back each other perfectly well.

A 7th wicket partnership of 59 took Shiregreen to 124. The 1st XI we’re dominant with the ball and in the field producing three run outs in the process.

Matt Price and Ben Cherry took to the crease looking to get the 1st off to a positive start. Cherry was unfortunately removed by a brilliant delivery for 0. Matt Price, who came into the game from back to back fifties, continued his good form. Digging in early and seeing off the new ball. Price was backed up by Jack Newton who began to take the game away from Shiregreen. Newton was the aggressor, playing his shots with freedom and putting the bad ball away, while Price anchored from the other end. Newton was removed for a well made 54, shortly followed by price for 42. This then began the collapse as the 1st lost 6 wickets for just 7 runs. With some nerves tingling the 1st got over the line with two wickets remaining. A unneeded nail biter for sure but it was another important win to make it six on the bounce. Stocksbridge 1st XI 208-6 (B Cherry 96, J Murfin 49, J Hibbert 44) Kexborough 1st XI 136 all out (A Hibbert 3-28, L Grayson 3-33)

Sheffield signs on Jake Allen The Australian replaces reserve Stefan Nielsen who had won just one of his 18 Premiership races and scored 13 points in five league meetings for the Tru Plant Tigers.

Club co-promoter Damien Bates said: "Don't get me wrong, overall it's been a decent start to the season for Sheffield. "But we've had quite a few close run meetings now and I do feel as though our form has dropped off a little bit in terms of performance. "We took a look at things and we felt there was an opportunity for us to strengthen down at reserve by bringing Jake in for Stefan. "Stefan has certainly been putting the effort in but we thought he'd have scored a few more points by now to be honest.

"Jake offers you something different and we think he can bring a lot to this current team as well. "He showed glimpses of what he can do in the Premiership with Ipswich last year, including when he scored ten points the first time they came to Owlerton, and we've seen him have some really good meetings at Sheffield when we were in the Championship as well. "We wish Stefan all the best for the rest of the season with Birmingham in the Championship and we welcome Jake who we hope can make an impact down at reserve." Allen, who also rides for Scunthorpe in the second tier, will make his debut in Monday's trip to Peterborough.

The Legion team started the second half brighter and Ash Gray crossed from the left and Denham Saxton from a tight angle managed to head in to the top corner. Just as Legion began to look in control, Ash Burbeary rolled back the years, beating his man cutting inside to slam home in to the top corner - a trademark goal. His finish was bettered only by the next goal a few minutes later, which saw Harley Wilson hit a rocket in the top corner from 25 yards out. With 10 minutes left Legion manager and substitute Adam Todd beat his marker in the box only to be dragged down, which resulted in Denham Saxton converting the penalty for his second goal. The game was sealed in the last minute when a marauding run down the wing by Paddy Carrig finished with him squaring for Jacob Walkland, who cut a composed figure and slotted past Dennis to complete the scoring.

Agony for Tigers in superheat loss

Peterborough Panthers...............................45 Sheffield Tigers..............................................45 SHEFFIELD were involved in the Premiership’s first ever super heat at Peterborough on Monday - but were forced to settle for just one league point. The Tru Plant Tigers drew 4545 at the home of the reigning Champions over the 15 programmed heats. But in an exciting revamp of the rules for 2022, that enforced the new ‘super heat’ with extra league points on the line. Jack Holder and Tobiasz Musielak were the duo who earned the additional race with a 4-2 in a scintillating Heat 15. And they were the pairing Tigers’ team boss Simon Stead put his faith in once again. With the unique ‘4-3-2-0’ Pairs scoring format coming into play for the decider only, Peterborough took a 6-3 though as the hosts claimed their first Premiership points of the year from a meeting where the Tigers were six points up with just four races to go. Boss Stead said: “It was disappointing that we sort of fell short in the latter heats. “I can’t quite believe it to be honest because we’ve done so much throughout the meeting; they’ve

had to use a tactical substitute but we’ve nullified that. “The two 5-1s against [Heats 13 and 14] didn’t do us any favours at all and put us on the back foot. “In the end, I think we did well to take it to a super heat, but we have to take it on the chin unfortunately.” The Tru Plant Tigers will be represented by Adam Ellis and Tobiasz Musielak in Round Two of the Premiership Pairs at Ipswich’s Foxhall Stadium on Thursday (June 16, 7.30). The next team action sees the side head to King’s Lynn on Thursday, June 23 (7.30). PETERBOROUGH 45: Michael Palm Toft 10+1, Chris Harris 10, Ulrich Ostergaard 9+1, Scott Nicholls 6+1, Benjamin Basso 6+1, Hans Andersen 2+1, Jordan Jenkins 2+1. SHEFFIELD 45: Tobiasz Musielak 11, Jack Holder 10+2, Craig Cook 9+1, Adam Ellis 7, Kyle Howarth 4+1, Jake Allen 3, Dan Thompson 1+1. Peterborough beat Sheffield 6-3 in Super Heat Premiership points: Peterborough 3 Sheffield 1.
