BARTON HOMES GET G0-AHEAD Thursday, September 26 - Wednesday, October 2, 2013

Committee gives green light to housing plans ALMOST 900 homes have been given the go-ahead by Oxford City Council to be built in Barton, following a decision by the East Area Planning Committee on Tuesday night.

Eight Labour and Liberal Democrat councillors voted in favour for 885 homes and a primary school to be built in West Barton, with Green Party councillor David Williams abstaining.

Outline permission has now been granted to developers Grosvenor Britain, which will include 40 per cent social housing within the development.

Council leader Cllr Bob Price said: “The approval is a fantastic step forward in delivering a vibrant and exemplar new sustainable community in Oxford.

900 HOMES

PROPOSAL

By James Booker

jamesb@taylornewspapers.co.uk

PLANS for an “ambitious” new neighbourhood in Barton – set to include nearly 900 homes – have been submitted by Oxford City Council.

The outline planning application was tabled by the council and developers Grosvenor to develop the 36-hectare site to the west of Barton.

More details of the design are expected to be announced in due course.

Councillor Bob Price, Leader of Oxford City Council, said: “This is a major step towards the creation of an enlarged Barton community, providing much-needed homes for rent and for purchase, together with the social, retail and community facilities that will complement existing Barton facilities.

“Great care is being taken with the design of the new homes and their link to the parks and green areas within and at the edge of the development.

“I feel confident that this planning application will lead to the creation of a really good place to live, and I would like to thank the architects and engineers who have created the vision for the Barton of the future.”

The initial idea was conceived in 2009, with public consultations starting the following year.

Plans were modified slightly in the early stages, when residents objected to houses fronting the A40.

Cllr Price confi rmed there would now be a buffer area between the main road and the

fi rst houses.

Up to 885 homes will be built if application is granted, 40 per cent of which will be affordable housing.

Other features of the project include a primary school, a new junction onto the A40, space for a convenience store and a potential hotel.

Ed Skeates, project director at Grosvenor Britain, said: “This is a very important milestone for the project and will provide much-needed homes.

“Great care has been taken with the design and layout, emphasising the link to existing and new parks and natural features to make this a very unique place.

“We will be taking the fi rst phase to the market in the forthp coming months and the planning co is a clear note of confidence to the market that this project is th on track to deliver.”

The new mobile clinic has been launched by healthcare company Solutions4Health, which will help people who struggle to get to traditional clinics in the area.

Known as the SmokeFreeLife service, the project aims to help at least 200 people a year to give up smoking.

Leena Sankla, project director of Solutions4Health, said: “Research shows that smokers are four times more likely

to quit successfully when they have professional support. “Our four week quitter’s programme gives smokers the best chance of quitting for good.�

Around 18 per cent of Oxfordshire’s adults are smokers, and the nationwide Stoptober campaign encourages people to give up for a whole month to increase their chances of quitting for good.

County Council member for public health and voluntary services, Hilary Hibbert-Biles, said: “As an ex-smoker myself, I fully appreciate how hard it is to give up this addiction. “However, the health benefits

of stopping are proven and there is now such a wide range of support available that, whether you sign up to take part in Stoptober or make use of SmokeFreeLife, there’s no need to go it alone.�

Smoking is the nation’s biggest killer with half of long-term smokers dying prematurely from related diseases.

But within a year of quitting, the risk of a heart attack falls to about half, and following 15 years the risk is the same as someone who has never smoked.

Quitters are five times more likely to stay smoke-free if they make it through the fi rst four weeks.

OXFORD Pride communications manager Terry Talbot has spoken out about homophobic assaults in the city, after she was attacked during the festival’s main event on Saturday.

While at Oxford Pride, Terry, who is disabled, was punched on the spine by a drunken man, who was then removed from the site by security.

It comes after an assault was reported to police about a homophobic incident last Tuesday, when a man was pushed, punched and kicked by two men on Cornmarket Street.

Terry then spoke of a third attack that took place about a month ago in Oxford, when two men violently beat up another man because he was gay. “It’s probably linked to the gay marriage debate,â€? said Terry. “I never heard of people being assaulted last year - why was I not punched last Pride?â€? “I wouldn’t want to put the community in fear, but compared to last year, I ďŹ nd it more than coincidental there were three attacks during the marriage debate. “We object to abuse in any form, and I hope Oxford does not ever become like Canada in the 90s, which I lived through. “I feel safe in Oxford, but then again I don’t want to take it for granted either, because I was assaulted in daylight with 3,000 people there.â€?

A police spokesperson said only one homophobic incident had been reported during Oxford Pride, and so far no arrests have been made.

The website www.stophateuk.org provides support for people who have been assaulted or abused as a result of their sexuality, disability or race, which Terry was keen to point out.

She continued: “The incidents are a rarity in Oxford, and in Canada I’ve seen it to the extreme in the past, and it was deadly. “Despite what’s happened, nowhere here have I ever seen or heard of anybody being gay-bashed in Oxford before now.â€? • More pictures and full report of festival on page 8

Oxford Journal is published by Taylor Newspapers Limited

ACCORDING to a new survey, less than a third of people realise that Type 2 diabetes can lead to serious health complications.

The survey, commissioned by Diabetes UK ahead of this week’s launch of a national awareness campaign, revealed that less than a third of people were aware that it could lead to amputation, heart attack, blindness and stroke.

In Oxfordshire there are an estimated 24,621 people suffering from diabetes, while 4,586 are undiagnosed.

Barbara Young, chief executive of Diabetes UK, said: “You only have to spend five minutes talking to someone who has lost their sight or has lost a leg as a result of Type 2 diabetes to realise the devastating impact the condition can have. “I worry that until we fi nally lay to rest the myth that Type 2 diabetes is a mild condition, it will continue to be seen as something that is not worth being concerned about. This is a misconception that is wrecking lives and is the reason that as a country we are sleepwalking towards a public health disaster of an almost unimaginable scale.�

Barton plans approved by city council • From front page surrounding area.

They believe the plans to deal with excess water using balancing ponds and existing pipework at the site are insufficient, and could cause flooding to Barton, Marston and the nearby communities.

As well as this, they are also predicting an increase in traffic through residential areas and issues with parking as people try to avoid proposed controlled parking zones.

Cllr Haines said: “I was very disappointed with the decision, because the infrastructure needs to go in before the houses are built, otherwise all the complications are going to start. “A lot of people still have sewage in their gardens from flooding five years ago, and I really did think we would have a stronger response than what we did. “What I shall do now is stand at the main council meeting against it, and I might even go to 10 Downing Street with petitions and explain how bad the situation is for Marston, and the amount of people worried over it.�

Construction is estimated to begin in 2015, with the development being built on a gradual basis through to 2020. • Cllr Mick Haines

Have your say on what cuts need to be made

Read this newspaper online at www.oxfordjournal.co.uk

RESIDENTS in Oxford are being asked for their views on where financial cuts should be made, at a public meeting run

by Oxfordshire County Council to be held next month.

Another £60m of savings need to be found on top of the estimated £200m that will have been cut by 2017, as part of a government plan to get the nation’s fi nances in order.

Leader of the county council Ian Hudspeth said: “It is important that we hear from residents

about the services they value most and which ones they could live without.

“We want to hear ideas about how people and communities can get what they need without relying on public services, and to talk about charging for services or raising income in other ways.

“Having to make cuts is nothing new to local councils. We have reduced costs by becoming more efficient and cutting bureaucracy.

“Now we have to reduce costs further than we had planned for the next four years.”

A meeting will be held at the County Hall in Oxford on October 15, with other meetings scheduled to take place in Banbury, Wantage, Didcot and Witney. Leading councillors and officers will be in attendance to

Thursday, September 26 - Wednesday, October 2, 2013 3

explain the council’s fi nancial position, answer questions and listen to views and opinions.

Cllr Hudspeth added: “We can’t make changes on the scale that will be needed without some services that are valued by residents changing, or even stopping together.

“We know all too well that this will be unpopular, and that there will be real dilemmas. These are difficult conversations but Oxfordshire people know what matters most to them and their

communities, and we need to hear from them before making decisions.”

At present, 57 per cent of county council funding comes from central government grants, which are forecast to be cut significantly from 2014 to 2018.

With restrictions placed on council tax, Oxfordshire County Council could have to save an extra £61m on top of the £74m it had already planned to save up until that point.

College to ring in Bridge of Sighs’ 100th birthday with celebrations…

HERTFORD College’s iconic Bridge of Sighs is celebrating its centenary this year, with a series of events taking place at the weekend to showcase the Oxford landmark.

The programme begins with an access day for potential college applicants, followed by talks on academics’ research, the bridge’s history and the screening of a fi lm about Hertford.

Throughout the celebration, a sound installation will be played under the bridge based on samples of sighs uttered by college members.

Principal of Hertford College, Will Hutton, said: “Who would have thought the bridge was just

100 years old!

“It captures perfectly the way in which Oxford, and Hertford in particular, is surprisingly modern, despite the appearance of antiquity.

“Hertford has a proud tradition of leading the way in admitting women and applicants from state schools, and the centenary is the perfect way to celebrate that forward-looking mentality.”

The bridge was originally built in 1913 to link Hertford’s main quadrangle with its buildings beyond New College Lane, and although it is known as the Bridge of Sighs, it is not mod• Hertford College’s Bridge of Sighs celebrates its centenary at the weekend elled on Venice’s equivalent.

SCHOOLCHILDREN in the county have bucked the national trend and impressed in recent tests to measure levels of progress.

Eleven-year-olds in Oxfordshire improved by five per cent in comparison to last year and can boast a figure of 90 per cent in expected levels of progress from Key Stage One in reading.

Nationally there was a two per cent drop in expected reading levels to 88 per cent while Oxfordshire’s schoolchildren also made expected progress in maths and were joint second in writing with 93 per cent achieving the expected improvement level.

Cllr Melinda Tilley, cabinet member for Children, Education and Families at Oxfordshire County Council, was delighted with the news.

“I am hugely impressed at the increases in numbers of students making the expected progress from Key Stage One to Key Stage Two,” she said.

“It is also encouraging that Oxfordshire is either joint fi rst or joint second for expected progress in reading, writing and maths when compared to our statistical neighbours.”

The county’s pupils also performed well in the amount of students achieving Level 4 and higher in reading, writing and maths and Cllr Tilley is now striving for results to improve upon the 77 per cent mark that has been achieved over the last few years.

She said: “While it is pleasing, we will continue to strive for even better results in the coming years. There is still a lot of hard work ahead.”

Witness appeal after death of gymnast

jack@taylornewspapers.co.uk

• Thomas Franklin was found unconscious in Hinksey Park on Saturday A 23-year-old man who died after being found with serious injuries in an Oxford park has been named.

Thomas Franklin, of Abingdon Road, was found unconscious near the tennis courts and allotments in Hinksey Park at about 8.10am on Saturday morning.

He had suffered injuries to his head and upper body, and

was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital where he died. It is believed he had been lying in the park for some hours.

Police are not treating his death as suspicious, and an inquest was opened and adjourned on Monday.

A post-mortem examination concluded Thomas had died from multiple injuries, which appeared to be consistent with

a fall.

Numerous tributes have been left in the park, which included flowers and a can of energy drink.

Police are asking for any witnesses who saw or heard anything that may assist with the investigation to contact detective inspector Paul Miller on the non-emergency number 101.

20-year-old is knocked unconscious POLICE are appealing for information after a 20-year-old man was punched in the face and knocked unconscious following an assault in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The victim was with his 19-yearold girlfriend in St Aldates at around 3.20am when he was approached by the suspect, who then punched him.

A second suspect then appeared, and both kicked the victim in the head while he was unconscious. The girlfriend was also struck in the face during the incident.

The offenders were then joined by a third man, who wasn’t involved in the attack, and all three walked away from the scene towards the Abingdon Road.

Both offenders were white, in their early twenties of average height. The ďŹ rst suspect was of stocky build, with short brown or dark blond hair, and was wearing a white T-shirt and dark blue jeans.

The second was of slim build, with short brown hair and wearing dark blue jeans with a black or grey T-shirt.

The victim was treated for his head injury at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

Tenants with difficulties set to benefit OXFORD City Council is hoping to improve tenancy services for people with physical and sensory difficulties, following a recent meeting about the subject.

Members of the council’s Tenant Scrutiny Panel met with Oxfordshire Unlimited, a group who focus on supporting people with such difficulties, to fi nd out how services can be made more accessible.

Cllr Scott Seamons, board member for housing, said: “Working together, the two groups are ensuring that tenants with physical and sensory difficulties are able to share how it affects their use of council services. “We are grateful for the work they have done and we hope they will continue to help us provide world class standards for a world class city.�

Deputy chair of Oxford Unlimited Lilian Sherwood said the link-up would be “valuable� to the council. “Our members have a valuable experience and knowledge on disability access, opportunities and discrimination that they wish to share with the local authority, with the aim to help the services they provide.�

Marie Dawson, an Oxford Unlimited member, added: “I feel there is a great opportunity to help our members and to share their knowledge of access across the city.�

OXFORD has been crowned the winner of the Thames and Chiltern in Bloom 2013 Regional Awards city category, improving their score by 10 points from last year to fend off fierce competition from Reading.

They were given a Silver Gilt, which is awarded to a high standard entry which meets virtually all of the judging criteria.

Three judges spent four hours in Oxford in July, and were shown the horticultural, environmental and community highlights the city has to offer.

Mark Lygo, Oxford City Council board member for parks, sport and events, said: “We have done really well this year and we will be aiming for gold next year.

“None of this would be possible without the ‘can do’ attitude of the parks and open spaces team, the committee members and committed residents who volunteer so much time to making Oxford a beautiful place to live in.”

The ceremony took place on September 18 at The Minster Church of St Mary the Virgin in Reading, where Oxford also won the award for Best Kept Roadsides and Roundabouts.

Over 25 cities, towns, urban communities and villages entered the regional awards, with judges visiting all the entrants throughout July looking for all-round horticultural achievement.

Police tweet city’s boozy shenanigans

News Bites Recycling on up MORE than 70 per cent of all waste was recycled from the county council’s centres over the last year.

Household Waste Recycling Centres, like the one on the Old Abingdon Road, accept metal, wood, cardboard, textiles, electrical items, batteries and even CDs and DVDs. This year’s figure is a big improvement on the 59.7 per cent that was recycled from the centres during 2011/12.

Charity drive OXFORD’S ASK Italian restaurant has raised £663 for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.

As part of the ASK Italian Grand Tour, which started in Aberdeen at the beginning of the month and is finishing at Great Ormond Street Hospital tomorrow, staff members and the local community have been asked to cycle, run and swim over 2,500 miles.

The tour visited Oxford on September 17 which raised money by offering raffle tickets to diners and giving them a chance to win an Italian food hamper.

North Ward LABOUR’S Louise Upton won last week’s North Ward byelection for the vacancy on Oxford City Council. Cllr Upton received 367 votes, narrowly beating Lib Dem candidate Tim Bearder by 30.

Sushila Dhall (Green) got 262 votes while John Patrick Walsh (Conservative) received 100.

ALCOHOL-RELATED incidents in Oxford and across the Thames Valley region have been highlighted in a live Tweetathon during the weekend, run by the police on Friday night.

Dozens of tweets were posted by the Thames Valley Police twitter account @ThamesVP from 4pm on Friday to 4am on Saturday, to make people aware of the issues of excessive alcohol consumption.

It was carried out as part of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) week of action to highlight alcohol harm.

Incidents tweeted about in Oxford included a man arrested on suspicion of stealing phones from pub-goers and another arrested for drink-driving.

The tweets gave examples of typical calls the police control room receives on a Friday night in regard to alcohol-related incidents, with the hope of making people think about their responsibility when out socialising.

As well as the Tweetathon, 12 fake ID operations were carried out in Oxford last week, with 11 asking for identification but only one refusing the fake ID. Ben Clarke, licensing team co-ordinator for Thames Val-

ley Police, said: “It is not illegal to accept fake ID, although it is obviously illegal to serve those who are under 18 and generally the ones who carry it.

“The operations gave us the perfect opportunity to show retailers what different types of ID look like; what is acceptable and what needs to be present on each to confi rm it is genuine.

“Retailers or licensed premises who sell to underage people risk a fi ne of up to £5,000 and losing their license to sell alcohol.”

Out of 95 licensed premises visited across the Thames Valley region, only 43 challenged the test purchaser for ID, of which 36 thought the fake ID presented was genuine.

Mr Clarke added: “While it was disappointing that so many licensed premises failed to spot the fake ID, it is far more disappointing that such a large proportion didn’t even request it in the fi rst place. Many of them run Challenge 21 or Challenge 25 schemes, where they should ask for ID from anyone who appears • Police aim to crack down on alcohol-related incidents younger than this age.”

University gets BHF research funding to the tune of £500k HEART researchers at Oxford University have been awarded a prestigious grant by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) to help continue their good work.

The BHF have given the researchers £500,000 and Prof Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the BHF, was full of praise for the work that has already been carried out.

“Treatments for heart disease have come on leaps and bounds over the past 50 years,” he said.

“But there is still much more to be done and these pioneering projects are helping to advance our fight against heart disease.”

The announcement coincides with the Great British Bag-athon which is the charities biggest stock donation appeal.

The idea is to raise one million bags of unwanted things in September, raising vital funds for the fight against heart disease.

Professor Pearson added: “Thanks to generous donations to our Oxfordshire shops, the people of Oxford have helped us fund this cutting-edge research.

“They can help us to fund more research at the University of Oxford by having a clear out and donating even more this year.

Every bag you fi ll is a bag full of life-saving research.”

A worldly influence‌

POPULAR concert guitarist Richard Durrant is staging a warm-up show in Oxford tomorrow evening, ahead of autumn tour and new album launch next month.

Taking place at the Holywell Music Room, the concert features Richard’s performances of a broad spectrum of music, in one of just three unplugged

Fat Freddy’s HEAVYWEIGHT soul providers Fat Freddy’s Drop come to Oxford’s O2 Academy on Tuesday, following the worldwide release of their new album ‘Blackbird’.

The group originated in Wellington, New Zealand, in the late 1990s, and the group have performed countless shows and released five albums in that time.

Doors open at 7pm, and tickets cost around ÂŁ25. More information can be found at www.o2academyoxford.co.uk or phone 0844 477 2000.

solo appearances before the main tour.

Pieces he has composed himself, plus works from Bach and an assortment of Paraguayan music make up the programme for tomorrow’s show.

Richard said: “The show is just me standing and playing the guitar, delivering something much more immediate and intimate than usual. “I chose Holywell because it’s got the most fantastic acoustics for guitar, really outrageous, and I love the sound control in there.

If you want to dampen the sound, you pull a wire and move a curtain across! “It’s a really fantastic venue because you can adjust the room, so it’s a perfect place to limber up and play something intimate.�

Richard’s love of South American music is well known, and he has been to Paraguay on a few occasions to meet with musicians

and promote his own work.

He added: “I went out there to launch my fi rst Paraguayan album, and it went very well but I came home with a suitcase full of music by people I’d met while I was over there. “I’m going back in November to play a piece I’ve written and to do some more touring. The music worked its way into my UK tour as well; there’s always little sprinklings of exotic South American stuff sneaking it’s way in.�

Richard is also preparing for the release of his new album ‘Christmas Guitars’, which is coming out on October 21. “It’s the longest I’ve spent on any album,� said Richard. “I spent six months recording it, and one of the pieces features a narration by Barry Cryer, who’s a mate of mine. “I’m doing 25 concerts to promote that album. I think the day after I get back from Paraguay I go into rehearsals for the tour, so that will be great.�

Tickets are £15. Book by calling • Richard Durrant is performing the third of three warm-up 01273 453422. gigs in Oxford tomorrow

No 1 finds Brahms at his most radiantly inspired and upbeat, whilst No 3 is a symphony of swirling emotions in which every movement ends quietly (audiences at the time were taken completely by surprise).

Alongside these major works is the ‘St Anthony’ Variations, often regarded as Brahms’ first truly symphonic work. Although frequently viewed as a conservative composer, Brahms’ music is always full of surprises. Please do book early for this concert to avoid disappointment.

WIN Family tickets to Billy Smarts circus!

EUROPE’S top circus is visiting The Oxpens, Oxford from October 29 – Novemer 3 this Autumn. In its 2013 tour after a comeback from several years of non-touring. An event you won’t want to miss and a circus show that will be talked about for at least the rest of the year.

Billy Smart’s Circus has always been ahead of its time.

Billy Smart was probably the most famous name under the British Big Top and now it has been making its fi rst full tour of Great Britain for over 30 years.

Billy Smart’s New World Circus began in 1946 when the highly successful showman -- known to his family and staff as ‘The

Closing date: Friday, October 11 Guv’nor’ -- bought a Big Top and added circus performances to his funfair as an ‘extra attraction’. The circus soon took precedence.

Smarts Circus always had a reputation for modern, clean seating, heating in the Big Top, all the mod cons of the theatre and of course, a show the like of which had never been seen before. None of that has changed so expect to see a spectacular modernised traditional circus presented in a fantastic 2013 setting with great lighting, sound,

effects and music.

Billy Smarts Circus is one of the biggest travelling show ever to have toured the UK and that will not change as the circus tours again for the celebration of its 2013 return tour.

The performance will include a fantastic Australian flying trapeze act which has been the toast of the circus world, Desiree’s handbalancing act in which she fi res a bow and arrow - with her feet!, acrobats, jugglers, breathtaking aerialists and even a fi reman who works his routine on a flaming ladder. With comedy and spectacle this is Billy Smarts Circus at its amazing best, the cream of circus.

With a heated Big Top, and

A new sizzling supermini!

DURING the 1980s and 1990s the Peugeot 205 was considered one of the greatest hot hatches of its time - beating rivals from Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen.

Subsequent 206 and 207 offerings – although faster - somehow failed to live up to their illustrious forebear.

Enter the new 208 GTi. Along with parking sensors, automatic wipers/lights, dual zone air-conditioning, standard kit includes a seven-inch colour touch screen, which controls various infotainment functions: radio, Bluetooth hands-free kit or music fi les via a USB connection or audio streaming.

Throughout the cabin there are reminders of the car’s sporting pedigree, with GTi badges adorning front seats and a flatbottomed steering wheel.

Parts of the trim feel a bit ‘plasticky’, although the dash is relieved by swathes of redstitched leather.

REVIEW: PEUGEOT 208

By Philip Shoulder @writeonmotoring

There’s a decent driving position, and the sport seats offer plenty of back and lateral support.

Rear headroom is a bit restricted for six-footers, but the boot boasts a useful 285 litre capacity.

The 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol motor delivers 197 bhp and 275Nm of torque.

Coupled with a six-speed close ratio gearbox, the 208 GTi can blast to 0 to 62mph in 6.8 seconds.

Despite the fi reworks, a light kerb weight (1160kg) helps to keep the hot little Peugeot clean and efficient: emitting 139g/km of CO2 and returning a claimed 47.9 combined mpg.

Despite all the grip and road holding ability, the chassis pro-

vides a fi rm yet supple ride.

Refi nement levels are good, especially for a sporting model, with well suppressed road and wind noise.

For a hot-hatch, the 208 GTi’s steering and pedals are noticeably light, although this makes it an absolute doddle around town.

The Gearstick gate has a slightly clunky lever operation, but actual gear changes are positive and accurate.

VERDICT: Although not comparable with the raw uncompromising potency of the iconic 205 GTi, Peugeot’s new sizzling supermini has been briefed with a different remit: to offer performance and playfulness when required combined with enough comfort and refi nement to be a viable everyday proposition.

Consequently the 208 GTi is stylish, fun and an appealing allround hot hatch package.

Wilder’s men lose unbeaten start in top-of-the-table clash CHRIS Wilder believes Oxford United “under performed” as they lost their unbeaten league record to table toppers Chesterfield last Saturday.

Ritchie Humphreys scored the only goal of the game for the Spireites on the half hour mark to end United’s run and extend their own impressive unbeaten start to eight games.

United slipped to fourth in League Two after Saturday’s defeat and Wilder could not hide his disappointment.

“I don’t think we turned up individually or collectively,” he said.

“I don’t think we asked enough questions of the opposition.

“We lacked a touch of belief which I was surprised about and a little bit disappointed.

“It’s a good start (to the season) but it doesn’t paper over the crack that I am not happy about

the way my team has played.

“I would expect them to ask a lot more of an excellent Chesterfield side.”

Deane Smalley had the best chance of the match but he headed Alfie Potter’s cross wide from six yards out.

And the U’s were punished as Humphreys volleyed into the top corner just over 10 minutes later.

Proof that it was not to be United’s day was that stand-in captain Andy Whing was sent off for a late tackle on Eoin Doyle midway through the second half.

However, United’s best chances to level fell to Smalley who, after previously failing to trouble

Gordon kicks Exiles to win GORDON Ross kicked London Welsh to their second successive Greene King IPA Championship victory last weekend as they secured a bonus point win over Nottingham.

Ross scored 26 points in the Exiles’ 46-19 win at Meadow Lane. Carl Kirwan, Rhys Crane, Seb Stegmann and Dante Mama all went over for Welsh as they saw off Nottingham in fi ne style.

More misery for City as poor start continues after defeat to Vauxhall Motors OXFORD City’s winless run in the Skrill Conference North was extended to nine games last Saturday after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Vauxhall Motors.

Matty Kosylo scored the only goal of the game after just four minutes in a match that City dominated. Despite being in control, City could only create

one real opportunity as Vauxhall keeper Zac Jones did well to deny Mike Symons.

Mike Ford’s men are now bottom of the league with only four points. On Saturday they host Skrill Conference South side Maidenhead United in the second qualifying round of the FA Cup.

Tommy Lee, did well to direct a header on 85 minutes towards goal which beat the Spireites keeper but not the post.

Wilder was unhappy with Whing’s red card and aggrieved that referee Trevor Kettle only gave Chesterfield’s Sam Morsy a warning after a rash tackle on Dave Kitson just minutes before the U’s were reduced to 10 men.

He said: “I thought the tackle (Morsy’s) in the middle of the park was just as bad, if not worse, than Andy’s.

“I didn’t think Andy’s was a red card and we’ve lost an important player.

“But I’ve got to say off the back of that we generally didn’t deserve to get anything from the game.”

United will look to get back to winning ways as they travel to 20th placed Hartlepool this Saturday.

Whing will serve the fi rst of his three game ban while Kitson will also be suspended after picking up a fi fth booking of the season last weekend.
