CITY OF FREEDOM HONOUR FOR SPORTING HERO
...continued from front page
Des Smith (pictured far le ) is the chair of the She eld Caribbean Sports Club, which o ers children of all backgrounds an opportunity to come together and play.
In 2023, he was named the BBC Sports Personality "Unsung Hero" for Yorkshire.
Mr Smith will receive the city's highest honour at a special meeting of She eld City Council at the Town Hall next Wednesday, ahead of its budget-setting meeting.
e meeting agenda said that Mr Smith, who is a Deputy Lieutenant of She eld, would be honoured "in recognition of his services to youth development, mental health awareness, sport and community cohesion, and, in doing so, rendering eminent services to the city".
Avid cricketer Mr Smith has been involved with a huge number of organisations but is probably best known for his work with the club, which was founded in Eccles eld in 1965.
Mr Smith said that sport had helped him integrate when he emigrated to the UK from Jamaica as a 13-year-old in 1966.
He said he was "surprised" to receive the award, telling the BBC: "Cricket is a Caribbean tradition but it's not being played a lot nowadays by many kids of Caribbean heritage, so we are trying to encourage as many of those young kids as possible to play."
He has also served on She eld Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust, South Yorkshire Probation Board, Youth Association South Yorkshire and She eld Business-Link.
A former long-serving magistrate and ex-chair of the Shefeld bench, he has mediated on cases referred to the British Boxing Board of Control and the International Cricket Council.
Mr Smith has chaired disciplinary hearings of the FA chairman's Anti-Discrimination Commission, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
He is also involved with Shefeld and Hallamshire County Football Association.
e most recent Freedom of She eld recipients are "the man with the pram" - cancer charity fundraiser John Burkhill – and former city MP Richard Caborn.
£60K raised for Sheffield Children’s
...continued from front page
Sheffield Wednesday Captain, Barry Bannan, hosted a sold-out fundraising event at Sheffield's Mercure St Paul's to raise vital funds for Sheffield Children’s. On the night over £60,000 was pledged for The Children’s Hospital Charity and that number is still rising.
The second annual An Evening with Barry Bannan and Friends took place on Sunday 2 March, and played host to Sheffield Wednesday legends from the current squad as well as icons from days gone by. The lineup included current Manager, Danny Rohl, and players Josh Windass, Liam Palmer, Callum Patterson, Lee Bullen, Daniel Pudil, John Sheridan, Ritchie Humphreys, Lee Gregory, and Pol Valentin, much to the delight of fans.
The event was compered by the legendary Steve Bracknall and included a Q&A with the players, and a few special surprises.
Reverend and the Makers’ Jon McClure provided musical performances, and guests were treated to a surprise performance from Everley Pregnant Brothers who closed the night.
This year’s event follows the incredible success of the inaugural evening in 2024, which raised over £80,000 to help change lives at Sheffield Children’s.
The night is a continuation of Barry, Chris, and Jon’s ongoing support for Sheffield Children’s.
Barry said, “I hold the charity dear to my heart and the night is just about trying to raise as much money as we can to support Sheffield Children’s. The first year you don’t really know what you’re going to get, we didn’t know what to expect and it was amazing. It’s brilliant to do
it all again and give something back.”
Tickets for An Evening with Barry Bannan and Friends sold out in just 12 hours thanks to the support of generous Sheffield Wednesday fans.
It was a Sheffield night through and through, with local legend and charity patron, Pete Mckee, in attendance, alongside members of Arctic Monkeys, Milburn, and Pulp. Pete produced the artwork for the event, and even donated a one-of-akind canvas painting that was auctioned off on the night.
Jon McClure said, “We had a great night last year, Bracknall smashed it, and I can’t say enough nice things about Barry, and I hope this event goes from strength to strength. Supporting Sheffield Children’s is personal for me as they saved my child’s life when he had meningitis. I realise that there are children from all over the country and beyond that rely on the hospital for lifesaving care, and I hope in the end we smash last years total for them.”
“It’s brilliant, I hope they ask me for a third time cos then I should get a hat trick ball. Thank you to the players for giving up their time, I know how hard it can be because obviously I run my own team but we’re absolutely blessed in this city to have an institution like the children’s so we should support it.”
Steve Bracknall said.
The Sheffield Wednesday players in attendance donated their time and their signed match-worn shirts to help reach the incredible total from the night.
The money raised will help the charity to continue providing enhancements that are over and above the NHS provision for Sheffield Children’s.

Sheffield Author on World Book Day
By James Fletcher
is week, children were encouraged to dress up as their favourite characters from books, join in read-along sessions, and discuss ctional characters who had inspired them as part of World Book Day celebrations.
She eld children’s author Helen Hunt explained why the annual event was important and how She eld had inspired her to write an adventure book.
“It is a day to focus on the importance of reading,” she said. “It helps children to feel encouraged to pick up a book and feel excited about reading and sharing their favourite books with their friends.
“It is vital for children and young adults to keep enjoying books to maintain and improve their knowledge, memory, vocabulary, and focus. Reading also helps with anxiety while at the same time enhancing their imagination and creativity
skills. Reading also aids communication and stimulates the brain.”
Helen, who has lived in She eld all her life, explained that the city had inspired her to write her debut book. *Steelosaurus* is a heart-warming tale about a curious dinosaur who is new to the city and wants to learn more about where he lives. He meets two children who gladly show him around She eld in an adventure centred on heritage and friendship.
e book was sold in over 30 bookstores around the city and had sold more than 1,500 copies.
“She eld has so many famous landmarks that the people of She eld are so proud of, so writing a book came naturally,” she said. “It was great to see a little boy from last year’s World Book Day dressed up as Steelosaurus.”
On ursday, March 6, the organisation behind World Book Day encouraged schools to nd di erent ways of helping students engage with books.
World Book Day was rst celebrated on April 23, 1995, in the UK, and was introduced to help children from disadvantaged backgrounds form a lifelong love of reading. e day is now celebrated in over 100 countries and is designed to help children associate reading with fun and positivity.
According to the National Literacy Trust, only one in ve (18.6%) children aged ve to eight did not have a book of their own at home.
Helen, from Oughtibridge, shared her own love a air with books, which began when she became captivated by Roald Dahl and illustrator Quentin Blake, whose stories enhanced her imagination.
Last year, on World Book Day, Helen was invited to read her book to a class at Oughtibridge Primary School.
“Although this was out of my comfort zone, it was nice to see so many children engaging and enjoying the book,” she said.

PUPILS FIRST CHOICE SECONDARY SCHOOL DROPS BELOW 90%
1 in 10 of pupils ‘miss out’ on their choice of School
Nearly 90 per cent of children eligible to start secondary school in September 2025 have been allocated their rst choice of School.
She eld parents learnt this week which secondary school their children have been allocated.
e following outcomes are reported for the She eld Local Authority based on the position at the national allocation date of 3 March 2025:
First preferences met – 89.02% (5,978 pupils) Second preferences met - 6.16% (413 pupils)
Acknowledgement
ird preferences met - 1.71% (115 pupils) No preferences met - 3.11% (209 pupils). is represents a slight decrease on the gures for 2024, where 6,077 pupils (90.43%) were allocated a place at their rst preference secondary school.
Cllr Dawn Dale, Education, Children’s and Families Committee Chair at She eld City Council, said: “We are delighted that so many children across She eld will be starting at their preferred secondary school this September. We know it will be frustrating for those who didn’t get their choice of school. If that is the case, then the independent appeal panel will hear your case.”

THE ‘PLAN FOR STEEL’
MP MARIE BACKS ISN’T ONE.
Announced by the Business Secretary, supported by our MP in last week’s LL, the ‘plan for steel’ is no such thing, because it does not include making steel! No blast furnaces mean zero steel-making.
You cannot make steel in electric arc furnaces. You can only re-melt, refine and alloy it. Recycling steel can supply a mere fraction of the country’s needs. Closing all blast furnaces is to export steel-making abroad, notably to China, with the increased cost then of transporting it halfway around the world.
This is the very opposite of any ‘green’ logic: emissions standards in China and elsewhere are far lower than here, production is focused on output rather than efficiency, and then there is all the fuel burnt in transportation.
Economically, labour costs make blast furnaces comparatively expensive to run in Britain, yet not only is this offset by the costs otherwise of supporting large numbers of unemployed ex-steelmen, it is strategic madness to denude ourselves of primary steel-making.
It exposes us to supplies of what is the basis of industry being squeezed and/or over-priced; potentially choked-off completely in time of war.
The ‘plan for steel’ is then to support steel recycling in electric arc furnaces by subsidising electricity costs, but these in the first place are the highest in the world only through Government policy: the not only completely pointless but actually counterproductive ‘net zero’ measures, the artificially high way that UK energy costs are set, and the refusal to utilise the many centuries worth of gas (never mind coal) lying under our feet and just off our shores. As for Stocksbridge high-tech steel, this has little need of a Government plan.
It has a ready market and a growing one. It’s being held back at the moment by lack of working capital from the debt-overladen current owners, such that aerospace and other big customers are kept waiting or cannot be supplied. There is no shortage of those who would buy the Stocksbridge operation from them.

Local Opinion
School rated Outstanding
Loxley Primary School, part of the Peak Edge Academy Trust, has been awarded outstanding ratings in all areas by Ofsted, following an inspection carried out in January. This achievement makes it the third primary school in Sheffield to retain its outstanding status.
The remarkable accomplishment reflects the unwavering dedication, hard work, and collaboration of the school’s staff, governors, pupils, and the wider Peak Edge community.
James Connolly, Headteacher at Loxley Primary School, expressed his delight at the report, stating, “We are absolutely thrilled with this outstanding report, which truly reflects the dedication and hard work of our staff, pupils, and the wider school community. At Loxley Primary, we believe in ‘aiming high together,’ and this recognition from Ofsted is a testament to the exceptional learning environment we strive to create every day.
“Our staff are deeply committed to ensuring that every child receives the highest quality education, and this report highlights their passion, expertise, and unwavering support for our pupils. I am incredibly proud of our children, who demonstrate enthusiasm, resilience, and a love of learning in everything they do. This achievement belongs to the entire Loxley community, and I look forward
to building on this success as we continue to inspire and empower our young learners.”
Jim Dugmore, CEO of Peak Edge Academy Trust, praised the school’s outstanding performance and reiterated the trust’s commitment to delivering high-quality education. He said, “This report highlights the exceptional education provided at Loxley Primary School. It is a fantastic achievement that showcases the commitment, ambition, and care that underpin everything we do at Peak Edge. I am incredibly proud of everyone involved in making this school such an inspiring place to learn.”

KEEP YOUR DOG ON THE LEAD
Appeal for care of the Peak District as spring officially begins National Park Authority.
National Trust and others say simple steps can make a huge difference Groups come together in call for respect of the Peak District including BBQs, camping and considerate parking.
The 1st of March sees seasonal legal requirements for dogs on leads take effect. As the UK begins its ‘meteorological spring’ on 1st March, organisations involved in caring for the Peak District are urging everyone to respect and take personal responsibility when enjoying the country’s original national park to help protect the area’s natural beauty.
Some of the Peak District’s most wellknown attractions, charities, landowners, the police and the National Park Authority have come together in a collective call to encourage people to visit responsibly.
Ahead of the spring and summer season, they are keen to highlight how people can help care for the place they are visiting by reminding them about things like car parking, BBQs, camping, and visiting with dogs – especial-
ly as seasonal laws on Open Access land take effect.
Those involved say that visitors can take a few simple steps help to minimise the impact on this much-loved area that is important for people and nature.
Visitors can also help to reduce the pressures and challenges local communities, emergency services and other public sector organisations, charities and local businesses face during the peak visitor season by following straightforward guidance, advice and relevant laws.
Craig Best, National Trust General Manager in the Peak District said:
“The Peak District is a wonderful place for people to connect with nature and get active in the outdoors, but it is crucial that everyone plays their part in protecting and respecting this important place for future generations to be able to enjoy it.
‘Leave no trace’ is the key to that and it is a simple thing that everyone can do by taking rubbish home, bringing a picnic not a BBQ and parking responsibly or using public transport.”

CELEBRATE THE HEART OF THE FAMILY: THIS MOTHER’S DAY, TREAT YOUR MUM LIKE THE QUEEN SHE IS
breakfast in bed, a walk in the park, or simply sitting together over a cuppa and reminiscing about cherished memories.
Mother’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s a heartfelt opportunity to pause and honour the women who have shaped our lives in countless ways. Whether it’s your mum, stepmum, grandmother, or a maternal gure who has been a guiding light, this day is a chance to express gratitude for their unwavering love, sacri ces, and support. is year, let’s go beyond the usual gestures and make Mother’s Day truly special by showing our mums just how much they mean to us.
Mums are the unsung heroes of our lives. ey are our rst teachers, our biggest cheerleaders, and our safest haven. From late-night feeds and school runs to o ering wisdom during life’s toughest moments, their love is a constant, even when it goes unnoticed. Yet, in the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to take their e orts for granted. Mother’s Day is the perfect reminder to slow down, re ect, and give back to the women who have given us so much.
So, how can you make this Mother’s Day unforgettable? It doesn’t have to be extravagant or expensive—it’s the thought and e ort that count. Start by spending quality time with her. In a world where time is o en our most precious commodity, giving your mum your
If you can’t be with her in person, don’t let distance dampen the celebration. A heartfelt phone call, a handwritten letter, or a video message can bridge the gap and bring a smile to her face. Sometimes, the simplest gestures—like telling her how much you appreciate her—can have the most profound impact.
For those who want to go the extra mile, consider a thoughtful gi that re ects her personality and interests. It could be a book by her favourite author, a handmade cra , or a subscription to something she loves. If your mum enjoys experiences over material things, plan a day out—a visit to a garden, a cooking class, or even a relaxing spa day. e key is to make her feel seen, valued and celebrated.
But let’s not forget that Mother’s Day can also be a bittersweet occasion for some. For those who have lost their mums or are estranged, this day can bring a mix of emotions. If this resonates with you, take the time to honour her memory in a way that feels meaningful—light a candle, visit a place she loved, or share stories about her with loved ones. And for those who have stepped into the role of a mother gure, remember that your love and care are just as deserving of celebration.
HappyMother’s Day
is Mother’s Day, let’s make a collective effort to show our mums how much they are loved and appreciated. Whether it’s through words, actions, or gi s, let’s remind them that their sacri ces and unconditional love have not gone unnoticed. A er all, a mother’s love is a gi that lasts a lifetime—it’s only tting that we take one day to give a little back.
So, this Mother’s Day, let’s treat our mums like the queens they are. Because if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that mums truly deserve the world.

POMONA LOSE LATE
A bitter pill to swallow for Pomona as they fell to a frustrating defeat against Elsecar despite dominating for large spells.
Pomona were on the front foot from the start, pinning Elsecar inside their own half. e breakthrough came on 36 minutes when Simon Bonnett headed home his 10th goal of the season from a well-delivered Simon Hawley cross following a corner – a deserved reward for Pomona’s control of the game.
Bonnett came close to doubling the lead shortly a er the restart, glancing a header wide. Winger Simon Yeadon also went close, weaving his way into the box before drilling a low shot wide of the far post.
However, the turning point came on 67 minutes. e referee penalised Pomona for what appeared to be a verbal distraction on the edge of the area – a decision met with disbelief

from the home side. Elsecar capitalised on the free kick, drawing level.
Pomona responded ve minutes later with a moment of brilliance from Michael Hayes. Bonnett released Yeadon down the wing, and he found Hayes, who took one touch to lob the defender before li ing the ball over the goalkeeper to restore Pomona’s lead.
Pomona should’ve pushed on, but instead, they became their own worst enemy. Sloppy mistakes crept in, allowing Elsecar to equalise on 77 minutes. Two minutes later, disaster struck as a defensive mix-up saw the ball ricochet into the net giving Elsecar an unlikely lead.
Pomona threw everything forward but couldn’t nd a way through.

Another great result for Oughtibridge, continuing their winning streak.
ey made a strong start pressing from the front and a great cut back from Laura Cain fell to Codi Melia on the edge of the box, who was able to bury it in the back of the net for 1-0. Rossington played a few good balls over the top which were dealt with well by the back line and the sweeper keeper Nat Walter’s. Oughtibridge continued to press high as a team which saw Lucy Ridley drive the ball past a couple of players and slot it in the net, taking it to 2-0 just before half time. Going into the second half both teams settled into the game again with a few substitutions. Oughtibridhe found their momentum again and were keeping the pressure on to put the game to bed. Following a good break from Dawn Underwood, she was unlucky to see the ball rebound o the inside of the post. However, only a few moments later, she was able to make it 3-0 a er a good ball in from Ebony Deans in the middle of the park. Both teams fought to the end with Oughtibridge seeing the game out comfortably.

Local Football Club Tops the Charts as Foodie’s Favourite
A football foodie in uencer known as e Groundhopping Owl has crowned a local football club’s steak pie as the best stadium food they’ve ever tasted. e accolade was awarded to the steak pie served at Bracken Moor, home of semi-professional side Stocksbridge Park Steels, during a visit last week.
e pie, supplied by local butcher John Crawshaw, has become a rm favourite among fans and is known to sell out quickly at every home game. e Groundhopping Owl, who has sampled stadium food across the country, declared the Steels’ o ering their new number one, surpassing the previous top spot held by Worksop Town.
e winning pie was a hearty steak pie, generously topped with mushy peas and a drizzle of Henderson’s Relish, a beloved local condiment. e combination of tender steak, aky pastry, and the tangy kick of Henderson’s proved irresistible, earning high praise from the discerning foodie.
A spokesperson for Stocksbridge Park Steels told Look Local: “We sell the same pies here that you can get at the local butchers, so we always try and save one for ourselves, but that’s not always possible.”
e club’s partnership with John Crawshaw has clearly paid o , with the pies becoming a highlight of matchdays at Bracken Moor. Fans and visitors alike have come to expect quality, and the latest endorsement from e Groundhopping Owl only cements the pie’s reputation as a must-try for anyone visiting the ground.
For Stocksbridge Park Steels, the recognition is a testament to their commitment to providing a top-notch matchday experience, both on and o the pitch. As the club continues to attract attention for its delicious o erings, one thing is certain: the steak pies at Bracken Moor are a winning goal.
If you’re planning a visit to Bracken Moor, make sure to arrive early—these pies are in high demand, and you won’t want to miss out!

STEELS EXTEND WINNING STREAK
BRIGHOUSE TOWN 0-2 STOCKSBRIDGE PS
Stocksbridge Park
Steels continued their impressive run of form with a welldeserved 2-0 victory over Brighouse Town, showcasing their defensive resilience in a hardfought match.
Steels came out of the gates with intent, applying early pressure and nearly breaking through in the opening minutes. A corner from Danny Deakin was initially cleared, but the ball fell to James Morris
on the edge of the box. Morris attempted an audacious effort, aiming for the top corner, only to be denied by a stunning save from Brighouse goalkeeper Shea Callister.
Stocksbridge maintained their dominance and eventually broke the deadlock.
Another Deakin corner caused chaos in the Brighouse defence. Although the initial header was cleared, Deakin re-
cycled the ball and delivered a pinpoint cross into the box.
Paul Iggulden rose highest to glance a header past Callister, giving the Steels a well-earned lead.
Iggulden wasn’t done yet. Just seven minutes later, he doubled his tally and Stocksbridge’s advantage.
Once again, Deakin’s corner was the catalyst.
Elliot Owen connected with a powerful header, which Callister did well to save, but Iggulden pounced on the rebound with a classic poacher’s finish.
The second half saw a slower start from Stocksbridge, allowing Brighouse to gain more control of the ball and push for a comeback.
However, despite their increased possession, Brighouse
struggled to create clear-cut chances. Their best opportunity came from Matt Tootle, whose shot through a crowded penalty area struck the post before being cleared off the line by the alert Kurtis Turner.
Stocksbridge had a chance to put the game beyond doubt when Jack Dolman found himself in a promising position, but he blazed his shot over the bar from close range.
In the end, the missed opportunity didn’t matter, as the Steels’ defence held firm to secure a clean sheet and a comfortable 2-0 victory.
The win extends Stocksbridge Park Steels’ fine run of form, with Paul Iggulden’s brace proving decisive.
The team’s ability to capitalise on set pieces and their defensive solidity were key factors in securing the three points. With performances like this, the Steels continue to build momentum as they push for a play-off place.
Ian Richards “Another one where we had to be effective on a tricky surface.
“Our movement off the ball and forward runs were good in an excellent first-half.
“We were really good in both boxes. A brilliant result, it’s a massive 3 points. Its important now to use this momentum for the final 9 games of the season.”
Next Home Game: Saturday 15 March vs Carlton Town, 3pm KO.
CHURCH PAY THE PENALTY
PENISTONE
CHURCH FC 1-1 BEVERLEY TOWN
Church Reserves faced a potential banana skin away at basement club Sheffield City last Saturday. Although they weren’t at their fluid best goals from Matty Jacobs, Reece High and debutant Dimitri Glykofrydis were enough to secure a three-one victory.
Manager Tom Wright said: “It was a big day for under sixteens goalkeeper Harry Morehen who after making his debut for the under twenty-ones on Thursday earned a start for the Reserves. Also in the squad from the under sixteens were Dimitri Glykofrydis, Caiden Gyte and George Thompson.
“We finished a game of men’s county senior premier division football with four of the under sixteens on the pitch and that’s great. All in all, we won three-one but improvements are needed for the rest of the season.”
The main event of the afternoon was at the Parker Roofing Memorial Ground when for the first time ever Beverley Town were the visitors.
After a goalless first half Sam Scrivens’ scored the opening goal early in the second which was cancelled out by a penalty efficiently converted by the Beverley number nine Elliott Andrew.
Church midfielder Eddie Newsome (pictured) spoke after the game: “In the first half the teams cancelled each other out, the one chance of the half fell to me but I miskicked it and it went straight to the keeper.
“We came out for the second half and gave a really good account of ourselves, we played some good stuff going forward and looked dangerous. Then Sam Scrivens got the goal we deserved, it was a lovely finish to give us a one-nil advantage. We didn’t look in danger of conceding because we defended the frame of the goal so well and our shape was good.
“Then a big cross field pass fell to their left winger, our defender Carlton Pownell got a little too tight to his man, got on the wrong side, brought him down and there were no complaints when the ref gave a penalty which their lad despatched really well. It was one-on-one and we were pushing for that winning goal, their keeper made a good save from Mackenzie Stocks. The front three worked well together Jordan Coduri supported them really well Sam Scrivens was a live wire on the left and Nathan Keighley’s pace was an asset to us as well. Tom Brennan and Mackenzie Stocks were rocks and defended really well, Adam Lawlor’s starting posi-
tion today was excellent and he commanded his goal exceptionally well. On the balance of play a one-one draw against a very good Beverley side is a decent point. We now build on the positives, we may not have got the results from the last month or so but the performance has been there in the team, they’ve shown fight, playing for the shirts and playing for each other as well so we’ll take the positives and keep going to the end of the season.
“We have a big league cup game on Wednesday (5th March at 7-45 pm) at home to Handsworth, that’s something that we’re all really up for and we hope to get something out of the season with that, we believe that we can beat them especially at home and get as many fans there as possible to cheer us on.”
