Champion chef’s secret revealed phil dennett

News Editor

Champion chef Matt Gillan had his secret TV success revealed at last to customers at his top restaurant in Lower Beeding.

Matt is head chef at The Pass at South Lodge Hotel and many of its diners were among millions of BBC viewers who saw him win through to the Great British Menu contest finals.

Matt’s reward and challenge was cooking a goat-based main course for the centenary banquet of the WI in at the elegant Draper’s Hall in London.

BBC filmed the dinner in April and the contest rounds before the finale.

Matt was sworn to secrecy about his success to customers, family, and friends for months until last week’s programmes unveiled the chefs cooking each course.

Matt, 34, based his complex billy goat meat main course on his mother Patricia’s upbringing with the creatures on the island of St Helena, and she was at the hall to share his triumph with Matt’s proud partner Kerra Byrne.

Patricia said: “Everything on the plate was truly beautiful.” And she recalled:“Every day after school one of View at

Winner Matt Gillan our jobs was to go and look after the goats.”

Matt said as he looked at photographs of the goats on the island: “The whole story has been a huge inspiration behind my dish.

“I am really proud of myself to be able to deliver goat to a Womens Institute banquet and everyone takes to it and enjoys it.”

A delighted Kerra said: “The dish was amazing. I think Matt excelled

himself. He worked really hard to perfect it.”

Matt, representing London and South East, shared a lager with his fellow winning chefs after the hectic work in the kitchen preparing the meal.

He overcame one hitch when he was not allowed to use an indoor barbecue in the kitchen and ended up preparing part of the meal outside.

He said that his dish reflected the

“waste not, want not” ethic of the WI in using billy goat meat that otherwise would have gone to waste, as female goats are considered more viable because of their milk.

Matt said: “With a little bit of magic and a little bit of thought you can turn it into something pretty spectacular” Judges Prue Leith, Oliver Peyton, Matthew Fort and Felicity Cloake.all awarded him an exceptional full ten marks for his dish in the finals before

the meal.

Danny Pecorelli, managing director of Exclusive Hotels and Venues, which owns South Lodge, said: “We know the huge amount of work involved in preparing and taking part in the Great British Menu and we’re all extremely proud of Matt’s success during this celebrated series to cook at the prestigious WI centenary banquet. Matt is a truly creative and talented chef who is passionately resourceful.”

Cycling celebrity Anna Glowinski found herself in the judge’s role when more than 150 people attending a free drop-in event at Partridge Green to celebrate the West Sussex countryside.

Nearly 150 people claimed their free coffee and cake at the event and many more dropped in to take part in the activities.

Anna, who took up cyclo cross at five years old and has ridden BMX, endure, downhill and cross country, joined leader of West Sussex County Council Louise Goldsmith to judge a bicycle show and ride competition, which had more than 30 entrants. Bike lights were awarded to the winners of the different categories.

The drop-in event was held as part of the West Sussex Weekends campaign to encourage residents and visitors to enjoy and share favourite walking and cycling routes in the county.

Steve Sole, owner of Stan’s Bike Shack, said: “We hoped the West Sussex Weekends event would attract cyclists of all persuasions, and it definitely did. It was great to see families here, confirming that cycling is for everyone to enjoy. With a range of activities on offer, there was something for everyone.”

open new facilities

A former pupil returned to open new facilities at her old school.

Londy Tang was a full boarder at Farlington School in Horsham from 2000-2008. She spoke of her happy memories of life at Farlington and the positive experiences she had there before cutting the ribbon to formally open the new junior boarding house , called ‘Fishponds’.

Louise Higson, head teacher, welcomed governors, parents and girls in years four to eight to the selfcontained boarding house with a kitchen, living room and facilities for 12 pupils from 8 to 13, with a resi-

dential housemistress. She said: “This will allow us to extend our boarding provision to give a dedicated living area for our younger Boarders, enabling us to provide a home-away-from-home atmosphere. We are keen that girls have the chance to experience boarding and so we will be offering ‘Taster Evenings’ as well as full, weekly and flexi-boarding options. ‘Fishponds’ is beautifully situated within our grounds and is the perfect boarding location. I am sure our British and international Boarders will be very happy here.”

Actor completes Samaritans’pledge Volunteers at Horsham so impressed actor Richard Alan that he is undertook a challenge for the Samaritans charity.

Richard will play Baron Hardup in this year’s Beauty and The Beast pantomime at the Capitol.

He carried out his pledge to run dressed as a Dame in the Barns Green half marathon, in an outfit from last year’s Cinderella pantomime. He had promised to do this if his sponsorship reached, £500 and as it did so the Dame’s dress came out of the Capitol’s prop wardrobe.

Richard not only achieved his target but also scooped second prize for fancy dress, netting another £50 for Samaritans.

Richard ran on behalf of the Samaritans of Horsham and Crawley and said before the run: “Why?

Richard not only achieved his target but also scooped second prize for fancy dress, netting another £50 Because I met the wonderful volunteers while I was working at the Capitol Theatre in the Cinderella

panto last year. All the cast where impressed with the work they do.

The Samaritans are only a phone call away, for anyone who needs them. They are there to listen to people who are at the lowest point in their lives and need to talk to someone .The fact that someone is there on the end of the line, to talk to, can and does save lives.”

Anyone who thinks that they might need the Samaritans can contact them by phone on: 01403 276276; by text: 07725 90 90 90; by email: jo@samaritans.org or they are welcome to visit the branch at 21 Denne Road, Horsham. Open 9am9pm most days but best to phone and check first.

Cycle ride family find man’s body A mother told millions of radio listeners how her family found the body of a man during a cycle ride.

Three youngsters were returning home in West Sussex from a Downs Link trip to Shoreham with their parents when they became curious about the condition of a stretch of a drainage ditch that had weed in one area but not in another.

They told their mother they thought there was a body in the water, and after checking, including taking photographs, she realised that they were correct, did her best to shield the youngsters from the tragic truth, and police were called. The father had been riding further ahead of the group.

The mother is one of the producers of the Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio 2, which draws about seven million listeners a week, and she told her story on the programme. Mr Vine also conducted a phone-in in which

other people were invited to tell told their stories about similar discoveries.

Katie Gunning said of the moment her children of 12, 10, and eight suspected there might be something in the water: “They said ‘Mummy, we think there is a body in there.’

Police confirmed this week that the body was believed to be that missing Michael Mauger, 75. The body was recovered from the ditch off the A283 Steyning by-pass south of Upper Beeding on October 4.

Sussex Police said earlier this week: ”It is almost certain that the body is that of Michael Mauger who disappeared from Bramber in July, and was the subject of publicity and intensive searches at that time. A postmortem has taken place but further tests are needed in order to help establish cause of death, and identity.

An inquest has not yet been opened.

The death is still not being treated as suspicious.The family members

of Mr Mauger are aware of the current position.”Mr Mauger was known to suffer from mental health issues, had been reported missing since July 1, and was last seen for certain by a friend on June 27 In a public appeal to trace him in the summer police said they were concerned for the Mr Mauger’s welfare because of his health issues and his depression.

A full scale search of the Upper Beeding area involved about 30 members of the Sussex Search and Rescue team with two teams of lowland rescue dogs, police officers, and West Sussex Fire and Rescue officers.

Fundraising week raises £1802 New firm and price rise for meals on wheels

New students got a Disney welcome to their college term and helped raise money for charity.

They attended the annual induction party at Steyning Grammar School Sixth Form College, which raised £656 for ‘Christian Aid’ to help in the current refugee and migrant crisis.

It was one of the events to raise money for charity held at the college.

The theme of the party was ‘Disney’ and student disc jockey BJ Oladokun kept everyone dancing, with student photographer Bryony Martin taking the photographs as students arrived on the red carpet.

Nick Wergan, Steyning Grammar School head teacher said: “I am always proud of how our students live out our ethos of ‘care, kindness and acceptance’. They have got off to a flying start raising money for such good causes and this is a real sign of their spirit and commitment.”

Students also again supported the World's Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of the MacMillan charity.

It was led by the Year 13 liaison committee and A Level Health and Social Care students. Lemon drizzle, fruit cake, chocolate brownies and tiffin were some of the offerings

baked by sixth formers and boarding students also spent their evening enrichment time baking.

The schools says local businesses and parents in Steyning, Henfield and Partridge Green gave generously this year towards the raffle.The star prize was two pairs of passes for Spocktober Fest donated by Tulleys Farm near Turners Hill.

With 525 students in the Sixth Form College and over 200 staff a significant amount of money was raised to help Macmillan provide vital support to those affected by cancer. In all the events raised £1802.

Residents facing a price increase for “meals on wheels” will have a new provider in West Sussex from October 19.

And from next April they will have to pay more for the food.

A firm called “apetito” with a small “a” will deliver seven days a week to about 800 people in the county. The current service run by the Royal Voluntary Service will end on October 18.

The price customers pay for the hot lunch will remain at £4.20, exclusive of VAT, from October 19. From April 1 2016 there will be an increase to £4.60, exclusive of VAT. VAT will not have to be paid by those assessed as requiring care and support who may be amongst the most vulnerable in the community.

Peter Catchpole, West Sussex County Council cabinet member for adult social care and health, said: "We want the meals on wheels service to support people to live independent, safe and healthy lives. As a council we understand how important it is that the service offers value for money for our customers and that is why we will be working with apetito to keep prices as low as possible.

However at the same time the service also needs to be sustainable and that is why it will be necessary for an increase in price next spring."

Paul Freeston, chief executive of-

ficer of “apetito” , said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won the contract to supply and deliver Meals on Wheels to residents across West Sussex. This is a vital service that supports people’s health and wellbeing enabling them to remain in-

The new suppliers have run meals services across the country, including in East Sussex and in Hampshire dependent within their own homes”.

The new suppliers have run meals services across the country, including over the border in East Sussex and in Hampshire.

Mr Catchpole added: ““These meals are a vital service provided by West Sussex County Council. This service plays an important role helping ensure people using the service have a nutritious, hot meal and have someone visit them regularly to check on them, which can make a big difference to people who might be feeling isolated.”

Hospice delighted at public support Developers of a proposed new hospice centre and housing estate near Horsham say they are heartened at public support for the project.

The Thakeham Homes company held a public consultation meeting to discuss 600 homes and a replacement for Crawley-based St Catherine’s Hospice on land owned by businessman Jeff Bridges near Pease Pottage.

The success of the joint scheme will depend on Horsham District councillors approving it, but meanwhile the hospice says the meeting produced positive reaction.

Giles Tomsett, chief executive at St Catherine’s Hospice, said: “All of us at St Catherine’s have been humbled by the outpouring of support for our plans at the public consultation.

“We are glad that so many people share our vision for St Catherine’s to

continue to lead in supporting those facing death and bereavement locally. However, we know that there is still much to do before our plans can become a reality, including raising about £6 million to pay for the construction. Everything we do relies on the generosity of local people, and we are looking forward to raising the money in partnership with the community.”

Robert Boughton, managing director of Thakeham Homes, said: “We are pleased that such a large number of people have engaged with our plans, and that many of them have shared their comments and ideas with us. We were delighted to see the support for the proposals from the local community and the volunteers and staff from St Catherine’s. We will review all of the feedback that we’ve received, and use it to ensure that the

forthcoming planning application best meets the needs of local community.” Sheltered by natural woodland, and focussed on a large central green space for sport, relaxation and community life, the homes proposed include bungalows, starter homes and high-quality family houses together with homes for social rent and shared ownership.

St Catherine’s Hospice, which helps people in the Horsham, Crawley Mid Sussex Mid Surrey and other areas, would move from its current base at Malthouse Road, Crawley.

The current hospice has only 18 Inpatient beds, which the hospice says is far fewer than the recommended number for a catchment area of about 560,000 people, and has no room for further expansion .As part of the joint scheme, Mr Bridges has offered free land for the hospice.

Residents of Nuthurst will see planning applications decided using its new neighbourhood plan by the end of the month.

Horsham District councillors will rubber-stamp the plan on October 21 after nearly nine out of ten people who voted in a referendum supported its aims up to 2030.

Once formally ratified at the full council meeting the plan will be taken into consideration whenever planning applications are decided and discussed.

Among its objectives is encouraging more young families to move in.

A total of 721 residents, 47% of the population, turned out to vote in what was Horsham district’s first referendum for a neighbourhood plan. Of those who voted, 87% were in favour of adopting the draft plan.

The Nuthurst Neighbourhood Plan states: “Our Neighbourhood Plan aims to bring vibrancy into our Parish by encouraging young families to move in. It also allows older residents to downsize, maintain their social links and use their time and experience to enrich the fabric of our whole community.

“Above all our Neighbourhood Plan will respect and preserve the heritage of the past and the largely rural nature of our Parish. It values our fields, woodlands, farms, footpaths and treasured wildlife and it

aims to keep our Parish a peaceful and pleasant place to live in.

“Small developments of mainly lower cost housing will fit into this vision and not detract from all that we value. Our Neighbourhood Plan looks to the future by encouraging

Once formally ratified at the full council meeting the plan will be taken into consideration whenever planning applications are decided and discussed proposals to enhance telecommunications and broadband, thereby encouraging more home working.

“It also aims to reduce our carbon footprint by promoting cycling and better road safety. We strive towards a bright future for our Parish, making it a place we can be proud of.”

Among the many services held to celebrate harvest time was one at St Mary’s Church, Horsham. It included the contribution of harvest gifts, a baptism and a bring-andshare lunch.

Donations of non-perishable foods were collected for St Cuthman’s Light Centre on the Whitehawk estate in Brighton.

The church was decorated with beautiful autumn arrangements comprising both flowers, fruit and vegetables, and was packed full of families with children.

Curate Jimmy Young said: “It was a really festive atmosphere both during and after the harvest service. It is a lovely opportunity to give thanks to God for all the good things that he has provided us with, to share that provision, and also to share fellowship and get to know each other better.”

Elvis is king as Pulborough pulls in record crowd Town crier Bob Smytherman had plenty to shout about as Pulborough’s biggest Harvest Hair pulled its biggest attendance.

Bob bellowed out the acts in the main arena as well as announcing the arrival of Pat Arculus, chairman of West Sussex County Council and member for Pulborough, who opened the fair. She came straight from the official opening of Domino’s Pizza’s new store, just down the road on Lower Street.

A dog called Elvis won the overall prize in the dog show run by Arun Vets.

Malcolm Gray, chairman of the Harvest Fair committee said: “The Pulborough Community Partnership created the traditional village fair as a way to bring together the

local community. We’ve been going for nearly a decade and the fair goes from strength to strength getting bigger and better every single year, with people coming to visit us from further afield. We had record attendance and the feedback has been incredible. “ Cllr Arculus chose joint scarecrow winners. They were “Gardening Dog” by Sean Taylor Bowers and a scarecrow homage to local legend and jockey Leighton Aspell, double winner of the Grand National, created by the Cargill and Lewes families.

Entertainment for the day included Billingshurst Dog Agility, local singer Konnar, Huxley’s Birds of Prey and Award winning childrens’ entertainer Tom Foolery. On

the field there was the Harris traditional Fun Fair, West Chiltington Silver Band, organ playing, bell ringing, apple bobbing with the Sea Scouts, puzzles, badge making, dough making, colouring and Welly Wanging with Sarah Morris and Tim Newton claiming this year’s golden boots.

St Mary’s Church hosted a colourful flower festival with displays from the arrangers and the gardening society.

The fair was organised on behalf of the Pulborough Community Partnership and all monies raised go towards community charities and organisations as well as next year’s fair.

Horsham Museum says it has been busier than ever selling and responding to enquiries about its Horsham Gingerbread after appearing in a segment on the popular afternoon BBC show Escape to the Country.

Filmed in April, the programme showed scenes of Horsham, the museum where the story of the Horsham delicacy was told by Horsham District Council’s Heritage Manager Jeremy Knight, before joining Lesley Ward who adapted the recipe

for the modern taste in her kitchen.

Lesley has since made gingerbread and a range of other local Sussex biscuits available for everyone to enjoy.

The filming included old scenes of Victorian Horsham along with modern day views of the Carfax and MarketSquare before dealing with the discovery of the Shelley family recipe in the museum archives and the poet’s first known letter where he asks for gingerbread to take on a picnic.

Horsham Gingerbread was developed

in 2011 and is now available in selected retailers across the south east – from Bath to Kent.

The programme is still available to watch on BBC IPlayer until 5 November 5.

One of the pictures on this page shows Chatfields – one of Horsham’s old gingerbread sellers. The other two are old pictures of gingerbread sellers. The coloured one is a Regency picture from 1804 and is used on the packaging.

The District Post Kid’s Club Strada review Prominently placed on East Street, where competition between eateries is fierce, Strada holds its own as a top rate Italian restaurant.

While many will think of it as the perfect romantic hub for couples, or that swanky eatery to hold a works' do, few may realise that there is a kids' menu to rival the best around.

Cue The District Post's latest (and youngest) reviewers: Elianna (14), Jacob (12), Catalina (7), Isabella (4), Willow (7) and Emma (7).

On arrival, the children were led to their table, set with crayons and activity pack (including stickers, to colour in) and 3 jugs of juice. Our children, particularly the younger ones, set to work swiftly; All gave a big thumbs up for the activity pack.

The table arrangement, throughout the establishment, is generously spaced. This is just as well, as our youngest reviewer, Isabella, tends to push her chair out whilst perching on the very edge! Despite this, there was plenty of room for waiting staff, and other patrons, to move around the table: Good news for parents, when it comes to those inevitable toilet trips!

Soon after the last child was seated, food began to arrive. Served by friendly and informative staff, the children were presented with starters: Veggie Dippers (Carrot and cucumber sticks, baby tomatoes and a tomato sauce), w e r e

well recieved. Some of the kids chose to use the dip, while others were happy to do without.

We used a scoring system, whereby the children were asked to rate a dish, on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most satisfying score. Veggie Dippers were awarded an average of 4.25, but were just pipped at the post by Garlic Bread (with Mozzarella), which recieved a full 5 marks!

Through an adult's eyes, the mains menu is more than enough to whet the appetite. It was time to see how the younger generation felt and the tension was building, as plates and glasses were being shuffled around, in preparation for the next course.

The mains had arrived and little hands were reaching for the familiar Margherita Pizza (Tomato, mozzarella and basil). Giving it an unsurprisingly good 4.3, the little hands then turned to the Chargrilled Chicken (with lemony rosemary juices) and the Chargrilled 6oz British Steak. The chicken recieved a whopping 4.75 and the steak, a decent 4.5. The Rigatoni Pomodoro (With basil and Grana Padano) scored 4.25.

A surprising 4.25 was also awarded to the Baked Market Fish Fillet (With lemon and mayo). Parents, were

stunned to see the younger members of the group, tuck, so vigorously, into the dish. Bev, mother of Emma, declared it her personal winner, stating: "This is the first time she's ever eaten fish that wasn't coated in breadcrumbs!"

The Pasta Carbonara (Pancetta, peas, egg and Grana Padano) was awarded a 2 and the Seasonal Vegetable Risotto (With lemon and olive oil), scored 2.5.

On to the desserts: Chocolate and Hazelnut Pizzetta (Warm dough topped with melting hazelnut chocolate spread), Ice Cream (A scoop of artisan ice cream in a choice of chocolate, strawberry or vanilla) - Wow! The 5s were in full flow and it came as no surprise that they both scored top marks!

With bellies full and smiles on their faces, our young reviewers were completely satisfied with their first Strada experience. In fact, two have since requested to celebrate their birthdays there and every single child wishes to return.

What more is there to say? Happy children, means happy parents. Strada, we shall most definitely be seeing you again.

Fire damages 16th Phoenix Stroke Club needs volunteers century house People living with the effects of strokes need more volunteers for their Horsham club.

The Phoenix Stroke Club is looking for helpers at its day centre.

The club provides support to people who have suffered a stroke or other neurological disorders as well providing respite for their carers.

Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the Club opens its doors to 52 members.

For a range of activity from physical exercises, group word games, baking, arts and crafts making through to stimulating group discussions. Volunteers are needed to help run activities and provide refreshments to the members.

Fire badly damaged a 16th century house on Monday evening.

The blaze in the roof space of the detached home at Skiff Lane, Wisborough Green, was dealt with by fire and rescue crews from Horsham, Billingshurst, and Petworth.

Fire and smoke damaged 75% of

the roof space, and water damaged about half of the ground floor.West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said the fire was believed to have been caused accidentally. There were no reports of anyone being hurt in the blaze.

Police donate £250 to Parish Villagers will be sitting more comfortably thanks indirectly to police catching criminals.

Horsham Police donated £250 to Rudgwick Parish Council to help buy new chairs for the village hall.

Barbara Kenward, clerk to the council, said: "The council is very grateful to PCSO Tracy Field for securing the donation, which will be put towards buying chairs for the hall"

The donation comes from the Police Property Act Fund made up of monies received by the police from property confiscated by order of the court and then sold.

The new chairs will benefit so many users of Rudgwick village hall."

Sue Stepney, a volunteer for eight years said: “I really enjoy volunteering at the Phoenix Club.

It is sociable, fun and the stroke members are very appreciative of the time I spend with them. This is a great volunteering opportunity for someone who likes to help others and wants to make a difference in the community.”

much help to really enjoy the activities here.’

Judy Clark, manager of the club added: ‘We have a number of volunteering opportunities and we pride ourselves on being a friendly and supportive club. We are a unique charity with only two part time members of paid staff.

Forget sharks - was there a monster in our waters?

Neil Arnold

Sussex Folklore

In the previous two articles I spoke about some of the more unusual visitors to the coastlines of Sussex with a few mentions to sharks.

For some reason sharks always cause panic; especially when sighted in local waters and one of the most unusual specimens to visit Sussex took place in 1989. Shoreham Harbour features heavily when it comes to sightings of unusual visitors; but a Thresher shark was the last thing people expected to see in the June of said year.

Sadly, the only actual evidence of the shark being caught was the tail which belonged in the possession of one John Barker who chronicled numerous encounters with unusual fish.

The Thresher shark is a large predator belonging to the Alopiidae family. It can grow to 20 feet in length and is recognisable by its heterocercal tail which can match the length of the body.

Sussex fishermen have blamed Thresher sharks for the destruction of their nets and when such fish are caught their tail – for good luck – has been pinned to the wheel house toward off evil. However, according to John Barker, one of the rarest fish to be caught off the Sussex coast is the Marbled Electric Ray. Although these fish – which can measure up to around two-feet in

length – are not known to breed in seas of Britain; it’s likely that the individual seen off Worthing in 1979 may well have migrated up the English Channel during the warmer weather. This particular ray is an ambush predator for smaller fish but its shock can severely harm humans. One such specimen was caught at Saltdean a few decades ago and kept in captivity until its death in 1985.

More commonly sighted around Sussex are of course dolphins. As recently as August 2015 bottle-nose dolphins were spotted off West Sussex; this time by a Luke Briddlecombe who, with friends was returning – in three separate boats boat – from the Isle of Wight when they observed a herd of between thirty to forty dolphins. A month previous eight dolphins were

observed a couple of hundred metres off Shoreham beach.

This report came just days after a seal was spotted at Cooden in East Sussex. This had been around the fourth sighting this year of a seal frequenting local waters with other reports emerging from Hove, Eastbourne and Shoreham. But where would we be without another monster story from the waters off Sussex? When I first began writing for The District Post many years ago I touched upon the tale of a sea monster said to have appeared in Sussex waters around 1917.

The monster, described as being like an eel but some fifty-feet in length made another appearance in 1957 at Seaford, but from my files I have found an older legend regarding sea monsters around the local coast.

It is said that on August 5th 1745 a fisherman named Hodge had gone out in his boat at what was then known as Brighthelmstone – now known as Brighton. He was accompanied by his brother-in-law but after several hours of catching hardly a thing they both became resigned, but as the dusk drew in they were alerted by a splash in the water as if a huge bubble had burst. It was then that they noticed an object floating on the surface of the water which to them resembled a man. The body of this creature floated closer to the boat and Hodge hooked it under the chin to pull it closer to the vessel.

“It’s a Mer-man” said Hodge’s brother-in-law, “all covered with snakes n’ firedrakes and yellow like a slug’s belly.”

Immediately Hodge began to pray that the creature was still alive; think-

ing he could make some big money fast by selling it on. The pair heaved the creature aboard – noticing how its man-like body seemed to be covered in odd carvings which resembled brightly coloured serpents and dragons. The creature was covered in other animalistic designs to, a snake, a fox and a great eagle adorned the withered body. So amazed and yet in awe of it were they that as Hodge prized open its mouth (to reveal a set of white teeth and red gums) his brother-in-law, stood aside but armed with an axe.

It was then that Hodge began to pour gin into the mouth of the Merman which then began to revive with a splutter. A horrid cry escaped its lips and its black eyes rolled spasmodically as Hodge began to tie the monster at its hands and feet (although I didn’t think a Mer-man would have feet!).

The pair headed for home, Hodge feeding the monster a piece of bread which is chomped down on; cutting into the bone of Hodge’s finger. But when he offered the Mer-man a fish it promptly spat it out. Of course, when news spread that a boat had come ashore harbouring a Mer-man there was great excitement within the town and many flocked to see this exhibit; but when the local Reverend clamped his eyes upon the wailing monster he could only exclaim that; “This is not a monster you ignorant fools but a shipwrecked mariner.

The men were embarrassed of their find and the so-called ‘monster’ was said to have – once recovered – ran back to the sea and swam back to whichever land he had come from, never to be seen again.

Remember - look after your tools!

Guy Deakins Gardening

How much do you value your garden machinery? To put it another way, how much money do we lose by not looking after our tools.

How often do you check the oil in your mower? Do you use the right oil mix in your two-stroke strimmer? Is your machine adequate for the strain you put it under? How often is it cleaned thoroughly? Do you sharpen your hoe and spade? Or do you oil the wooden handles to add to their longevity? (One has to admit here that many of the modern 'pressed steel' offerings that are supplied at garden centres don't pass muster as adequate, but to misuse them is still an environmental crime.)

As the end of summer passed us by some weeks ago, these are all

questions we should be asking ourselves now that winter is approaching. Rather than putting all the tools away to await the new season of Gardeners World, why not get it professionally serviced now? Take the worry out of your mind before winter so to speak.

If you have ever visited a repair centre and see what is no longer viable you may be shocked. The pile of broken machines at Alfold Mowers for example is quite heart-wrenching. Machines that no longer have vital parts manufactured, machines that were not oiled properly, machines that are no longer economically viable to fix. All for scrap or the dump.

Of course they are not sentient beings - having no soul or intelligence - but the immense waste of materials for the sake of the laziness of 'progress' is staggering. If we took a little more interest in our machinery perhaps Horsham Rubbish dump

wouldn't loom so large over the town and our wages would go a little further. £600 for a new mower is no small amount.

Whilst we are on the subject of protecting machinery, it may be a good idea to seek the advice of the West Sussex Police and mark your property. Shed burglaries are on the rise and your wonderful hard earned tools will happily end up in the free ads or at car boot sales for a quick profit for those so minded.

On a happier note, I'd like to recommend you visit Winkworth Arboretum this October. Nestled this side of Godalming, it is a spectacular space and never actually that busy - which is always a blessing as many of the other NT gardens can be spoilt by the hoardes. The trees are just entering that wonderful colour change that we all love and the opportunity to crunch through mounds of crisp browning leaves is too much of an opportunity to pass up for a kid of any age.

During October this pop up shop will feature beautifully crafted and unique wooden toys, hand drawn and painted luxury homewares and unique sewing classes plus fabric, hand sewn gifts and haberdashery.

Bella and Jos is run by Horsham based mum of three Vikki Ellis, offering an incredible range of traditional wooden toys. With over 3000 products in the range, it is impossible to stock everything but the shop displays some of the most popular and unique pieces. Should you have a specific request, Vikki will personally source the perfect toy for you.

On the topic raising a family and growing a business, Vikki says, "It is difficult fitting a growing business around 3 very young children.

The hardest thing is stopping them playing with the stock but they are great at testing the toys! The inspiration for the business was the enjoyment our children got from play-

ing with their wooden toys.”

Since designing award winning home textile products for John Lewis, Chandni launched Stil Haven. This luxurious boutique brand sees her hand drawn and painted artwork, transformed into luxurious homewares and accessories for both adults and children.

Chandni draws inspiration from the Sussex countryside and wildlife.

She says, "each design tells a story, just like a piece of art. We love drawing from everyday inspiration to create fresh, diverse and fashionable products that remain unique and stand out on the high-street."

Chandni is proud to manufacture all of her products in England.

Sew N Beads run by Sukh Dryden, started four years ago and is based in Tilgate Park, Crawley, units 4 & 5, opposite the nature centre. It is set in a beautiful area for Sew n Beads students to work their magic with the sewing machine.

Sukh studied at London College of Fashion for 4 years and taught for 8 years, before deciding to set up her own business. She says, “sewing and teaching is a passion, but being with the children is more

important. I wanted to set up the business, not only for financial reasons, but also to work around the children.” Classes and workshops vary from beginners to advanced.

Sukh teaches all forms of sewing, including dressmaking, patchwork, quilting, free motion, cushion making and more.

These brands will be in store for the month of October only, with special offers and live demonstrations. They will also be participating in the popular Rotary Club children's trail, to celebrate Halloween.

Don't miss out. Pop in to the shop to source great value, unique gifts, not found on the high-street.

Crowd funded and supported by Horsham District Council to promote new enterprise on the highstreet, Pop up Horsham can be found in Swan Walk between Le Brunch cafe and Wilkinsons. They will be there 7 days a week, 9:005.30 Monday to Saturday and 10:304:30 on Sundays until November 1.

To see the full range of products and services from each company please see their websites at: bellaandjos.com; sewnbeads.com; stilhaven.com

Love to boogie on a Saturday night? Come along to The Capitol this weekend and dance the night away with T.Rextasy!

In 1973, a record was released which would bridge the generation gap and become a rock anthem to both young and old. '20th Century Boy' was written and composed by Marc Bolan, who, with his band T.Rex, was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic artists of the original glam rock era.

With Bolan's special ingredient of Rock-a-Boogie songs throughout the 1970s, including 'Telegram Sam' and 'Jeepster', he was able to obtain what would be yet another Top 20 record, later in 1976, that has since become one of the most memorable and everlasting signature tunes, 'I Love to Boogie'.

T.Rextasy have now been performing around the world for over

20 years, a career that ironically out lives Marc’s very own T.Rex! The band is now accepted as the world’s only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan & T.Rex, and the only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan’s family, estate, original ex-members of T.Rex, and Bolan’s catalogue management. The band has been described by many as ‘beyond the boundaries of tribute’ - Truly a rock’n’roll concert for all ages.

If you would like to know exactly what a Marc Bolan concert was like in the 1970s, this show is for you!

T.Rextasy – awarded the accolade of ‘The Best Live Tribute Band in the UK" BBC1 TV Performance takes place October 17 at 8pm. To book, contact the Capitol Box Office website: www. thecapitolhorsham.com or call: 01403 750220

Sponsored by

Welcome to our monthly ‘Pet Post’, a section dedicated to news, advice and stories from the lives of our loveable friends. This week our sponsored columnist Abbi Moon from the Horsham branch of the RSPCA discusses keeping pets calm over firework season.If you have any stories, pictures or tips you would like to feature in this section, please email dpearson@thedistrictpost.co.uk. We hope you enjoy the read.

Keeping your pets calm during bonfire night abbi moon RSPCA

Bonfire night is on the horizon and many of us will enjoy the displays on offer in Horsham but fireworks can be a source of fear for many animals.

Many animals find fireworks scary.

Ignoring the problem can leave your pet feeling miserable and as firework phobia is a treatable condition, it is much better for you - and your pet - to tackle the problem.

The RSPCA has these top tips to help make fireworks season less frightening for your pet.

Make sure your dog or cat always has somewhere to hide if he or she wants to and has access to this place at all times. For example this could be under some furniture or in a cupboard During firework seasons, walk dogs during daylight hours and keep cats and dogs indoors when fireworks are likely to be set off.

At nightfall close windows and curtains and put on music to mask and muffle the sound of fireworks. You can use blackout blinds to block out flashes of light.

If your pet shows any signs of fear try to ignore their behaviour. Leave them alone unless they are likely to harm themselves.

Never punish or fuss over your pet when it's scared as this will only make things worse in the long run.

Make sure your cat or dog is always kept in a safe and secure environment and can’t escape if there’s a sudden noise.

Have your pet microchipped in case they do escape.

Dogs - Pheromone diffusers, like Adaptil, may help some dogs. These disperse calming chemicals into the room and may be a good option for your dog. In the long term your dog needs to learn to be less afraid of loud noises.

With proper treatment this is possible so that the next firework season will be less stressful for you and your dog.

We recommend Sounds Scary, an easy to follow therapy pack for dogs which includes a specially made set of high quality sound recordings and an easy to follow guide. The amount of training needed will vary from dog to dog so owners should start training with the Sounds Scary pack well in advance of firework seasons.

Cats - Make sure your cat has somewhere to hide if s/he wants to.

This may be under some furniture or in a quiet corner. Don’t try and tempt your cat out as this will cause him/her to become more stressed. You can also get pheromone diffusers for cats, such as Feliway.

Small animals - If your pets live outside, partly cover cages, pens and aviaries with blankets so that one area is well sound-proofed. Make sure that your pet is still able to look out. Provide lots of extra bedding so your pet has something to burrow in.

There are also lots of simple things you can do to help your pet deal with fireworks. By preparing in advance before fireworks start your pet will be better able to cope with the noises.

Remember - keep your dog clear of Kennel Cough

Kennel cough or infectious tracheobronchitis to give it its more correct title may be a relatively well known disease - with the distressing fits of coughing that can persist for weeks it is perhaps not surprising that many dog owners are aware of the disease.

Despite this familiarity many people remain confused about the causes of the condition, as well as how it is transmitted and prevented.

Kennel cough is a significant health risk for dogs that may be caused by a range of viruses and bacteria. However, surveys of respiratory disease outbreaks over many years reveal that the bacteria Bordetella bronchiseptica, as well as canine parainfluenza virus, are the most significant initiating infectious causes of respiratory disease. These bugs cause disease in their own right, but are also seen in combination with each other, as well as predisposing the dog to infection with other agents.

Data from a national survey of infectious pet diseases reported by vets suggest there may be at least 65,000 cases of kennel cough seen by veterinary surgeons every year making it the country’s most widespread infectious disease of dogs. However despite the popular name for this disease it appears that more than half of reported outbreaks are likely to arise from day-to-day contact between dogs

and not from kennels.

For example, a recent telephone survey of 50 veterinary practices looked into the origins of 270 kennel cough cases that had been diagnosed in the previous 30 days.

The ‘at risk’ environments, in addition to kennels, identified and listed by the practices included the local neighbourhood or park training classes dog walking dog shows and even the vet practice itself.

Clearly, kennel cough is a highly contagious disease that readily spreads wherever and whenever dogs mix or congregate.

What is concerning though is that it has been found that many dog owners think their routine annual vaccination provides adequate protection against kennel cough.

In fact, none of the routine injectable booster vaccines provide comprehensive cover against the most important causes of the disease.

Vaccination given as drops up the nose are available for both of these important causes and are able to stimulate the best protection by stimulating immunity at the point at which infectious bug’s invade.

However it is estimated that only 10% of dogs receive these kennel cough vaccines annually. So if your dog regularly mixes with or meets other dogs or attends places where dogs congregate such as training classes or local park, ask your vet about additional cover against kennel cough.

Don’t let your pets feel this chill this autumn!

With the evenings drawing in and the mornings feeling distinctly chilly, you’ll no doubt be wrapping up warm and turning up the heating.

But while you’re busy getting cosy, don’t forget to make sure your outdoor furry friends are kept safe against the cold.

Dazzling colours and stunning sunsets make autumn a wonderful time of the year, but while there’s still warmth in the sun by day, night-time temperatures can already be hovering around freezing. Outdoor pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs will have been responding to the seasonal shift by shedding their summer coats and will now be developing deep layers of fur, giving them a distinctly fluffy look. These animals are perfectly designed to adapt to falling temperatures, but even the hardiest bunny needs a bit of extra support to get through the winter.

Here are some top tips: Your pets will need lots of extra bedding to keep them toasty. Make sure their sleeping area is lined with newspaper and an inch-thick layer of sawdust to insulate against ground-frosts. Then pack it out with good-quality straw that they can burrow in to. If they disappear of sight and all you can hear is contented rustling, you’ve done a good job!

Note: over the winter, rabbits and guinea pigs are more likely to use their sleeping area to go to the toilet, rather than go outside in the cold. With this in mind, make sure that you are changing all of their bedding at least twice a week.

Keep an eye on water bottles.

Small animals need to be constantly hydrated to prevent digestive issues and can die from dehydration in a remarkably short time, so make frequent checks a priority.

As they are usually located on the outside of the hutch, bottles can freeze very quickly, so check them several times a day in cold weather to make sure no blocks of ice have formed. Even if the water in the bottle itself is still liquid, moisture in the drinking nozzle can freeze, causing the ball bearing to get stuck. A tell-tale sign that your pet is not able to access their water is if they bite the drinking nozzle or push it around with their nose. If you see them doing this, give the bottle a squeeze to check

that water is still free-flowing.

Food is fuel against the cold. Your pets may show an increased appetite at this time of year as they try to put on some fat to guard against the chill. Rabbits especially have a very sweet tooth and will devour sugary treats like carrots and apples, but make sure you keep these to a minimum as they can cause dental problems. Instead, make sure they have a regular supply of a good-quality food in nugget form as muesli-style foods lead to selective feeding, meaning your pet does not get all of the nutrients they need.

Food is fuel against cold.

Your pets may show an increased appetite at this time of year as they try to put on some fat to guard against the chill Most importantly, make sure that rabbits and guinea pigs are never without hay. Quality hay should form the basis of their diet and is essential for digestive and dental health, but many pets do not get the quantity they need due to over-zealous feeding of dried food by their well-meaning owners.

Finally, if you bring your small furries inside to play in the evening, remember that being taken from a centrally heated house and put back in their hutch could be an immediate temperature drop of around 20 degrees: a huge shock to the system. Prepare their hutch a few minutes before you take them outside by placing a microwaveable heat pad in their sleeping area which will heat up their straw, just like an electric blanket in a cold bed.

Follow these easy tips and you’ll be rewarded with healthy, happy pets right through until spring.

Pizza Express is celebrating the launch of its exciting new look restaurant in Horsham. Located in East Street, this restaurant has been totally transformed and features artwork paying tribute to Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the major Romantic poets, who was born in Horsham. Each PizzaExpress restaurant is individually designed

– often using well known places, people or historical events from the area as the basis. The interior of the Horsham restaurant has a range of collage artworks inspired by Shelley’s poetry and his story. The artworks combine pieces of text and imagery that give a contemporary interpretation of his work.

The illustrious history of our Horsham store dates back to 1925, when Messrs. Scott & Sargeant opened their premises at 26 East Street. The business flourished and grew and allowed the shop to take over the adjoining property. In 2004, nearly 80 years later, Scott & Sargeant became a Steamer Trading shop when the owners

decided to retire. When we had finished the shop had grown into no.28, next door, and acquired wonderful new spaces for displaying fabulous kitchenware – and even a café. Today, our Horsham store is a real emporium, with a fantastic selection of everything for the kitchen and table spread out over 7,000 sq.ft.

@HOME Estate and Lettings Agency opens and announces a charitable partnership

@HOME Estate and Letting Agency is a newly-formed Horsham and district estate agency set up by local resident Paul Davies.

Paul’s grandfather and greatgrandfather’s construction business built many properties in the Horsham and surrounding areas, so Paul grew up with a keen interest in property, and is delighted to be creating a locally-based organisation.

After graduating in Business Management, and having written his thesis in Online Market-

ing Strategies, Paul’s early career was spent in Sales and Marketing with 2 Fortune 500 companies; at the same time he qualified as a Financial Adviser, which led him into the field of financial consultancy and estate agency. Recognising that property-seekers increasingly used internet portals he started to consider a locallybased online estate agency offering high street service with online prices, which has now come to fruition in @HOME Estate and Letting Agency.

Paul is also delighted to an-

nounce a charitable partnership with the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School, the Horsham-based learning facility for children with severe or profound and multiple educational difficulties, which OFSTED has rated as outstanding; as a local business, supporting local community charities is very much at the heart of what @HOME does.

With his wife Emma being a paediatric occupational therapist, having himself volunteered at the Springboard Project whilst at college and with a close relative

working at the school, it felt like a natural fit with their core values. @HOME was delighted to offer its first sales fee to the school, and Paul and Emma met the team and the children at the QEII School on a beautifully sunny day and were able to see where funding would help.

As the OFSTED inspection suggests, the school is extremely well run by the team, headed by Mrs Lesley Dyer, and @HOME is proud to help the Horsham School and will continue to do so in the future where possible.

Peter Hossack, General Manager at Guy Leonard & Co Estate Agents takes a look at what it takes to sell property today and learns a lesson from history.

In 1415 the English archers were a formidable force at the battle of Agincourt - the 600th anniversary of which we commemorate on 25th October, St Crispin’s Day. It is said that each archer was so fast that at any one time he had two arrows in the air and one in the bow. From five thousand archers, that made a lethal hailstorm of missiles. But none was tightly aimed at one target. It was the mass that did the overall damage.

Putting a property on the internet is a bit like a cloud of arrows. There are tens of thousands of properties for sale out there.

All one can hope for is that yours will somehow hit the mark. But most sellers want a little more from their estate agent than simply putting their property on the

internet. After all anyone can do that. Most knowledgeable sellers demand targeted marketing as well. They want their agent to know the buyers and have a strong idea who will buy and for how much.

Sellers want their estate agent to have a clear idea about value – not because they have used a website algorithm but because they are so knowledgeable about the local market that they have their finger on the pulse.

Nor are websites very good at negotiating deals and seeing through transactions – in fact they can do neither. People need to do that. And the better the people the better it is for a seller.

So don’t let your home become one of a crowd. Make it one on its own – an arrow perfectly aimed by a supreme marksman at a wellselected target. That way you will hit gold in the centre of the target.

Bull’s-eye.

Horsham Hawks turn tables on Worthing Horsham Hawks U13 101 – 58 Worthing D&D U13 Youth Basketball Dave Smith – Sports Editor After being beaten by Worthing in last season’s Sussex Cup final Hawks were determined to gain revenge for the narrow defeat they suffered.

Hawks showed their desire by starting at a blistering pace and stormed into a 21-4 lead after just 7 minutes

that included 12 points from a dominant Josh Tavolieri.

The first quarter ended with Hawks keeping their 17 point advantage after further baskets from Fin Bennett, Amy Willcox and Harry Rose to make it 32-15.

That lead was extended in the second period after Josh Lea-Clayton and Antonio Lozzi turned steals into points and a last second shot from Meghan Stevens made the score 60-33 to Hawks at the break.

The third quarter saw much of the

same as the dominant Hawks went into the final period with an 83-45 lead that included a debut basket from new Hawk Oliver Brooker.

Worthing continued to show fight in the final period but strong defence from James Lowe, Anaya Wakefield and Miguel Veturini slowed down the Worthing offence. A variety of Hawks added to the score in the final minutes allowing the team to surpass the century mark and sustain their unbeaten start to the season.

Hawks gained revenge over Worthing

Horsham Barbarians with their National Championship trophies Flag Football Dave Smith – Sports Editor Flag Football team, Horsham Barbarians, have become the National U17 Champions.

Flag football is a non contact version of American football where the basic rules of the game are similar to those of the mainstream game but instead of tackling players to the ground, the defensive team must remove a flag from the ball carrier.

The 12 members of the Barbarians squad who competed in the finals at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster was made up of players drawn from Christ’s Hospital, Collyer’s College, Forest School, Tanbridge House School and The Weald School.

The team went into the finals as top seeds having won the Southern Conference title, winning all their matches in the process. To reach the National Finals, known as ‘Britbowl’, the Barbarians saw off rivals from London and Northamptonshire, as well as the defending National Champions in Buckinghamshire.

At ‘Britbowl’ Barbarians overcame Buckinghamshire Wolves in the first match despite falling behind early on, the Horsham side eventually winning 40-7.

The second game was against Northern Conference team the Chorley Buccaneers. In this game the opposition had no answer to the powerful Horsham boys who efficiently brushed aside the Lancashire team

39 – 0.

This win put Barbarians in the final where they faced Coventry Cougars in a repeat of last year’s semi-final. In a competitive battle where both teams gave their all, Horsham eventually won the game 32 – 13 to earn the title of National Champions.

Head Coach Dayle Kirby said, “This has been the culmination of four years’ hard work, since our very first outing at a league tournament back in 2012. I’m very proud of the boys.”

The Horsham Barbarians are: Luke Baldwin, Joseph Blake, Alfie Burchfield, Aaron Collins, Louis Evans, Joseph Humphries, Ben Kidner, Lewis Kirby, Daniel Longo, Max Paterson, Henry Skipton-Carter, Marcus Sum, and Sean Thomson

Horsham’s Fred Bridges believes the success of England Physical Disability cricket team’s triumph in the first ever international tournament will hopefully increase the number of international teams taking part and lead to a World Cup. Bridges was part of the 15-man squad which won the inaugural Red Cross International T20 Tournament for people with Physical Disabilities in Bangladesh.

The 24-year-old Broadbridge Heath CC spinner ensured he shone in the showpiece against Pakistan as he was named man of the match after ending with figures of 4-24.

“I was really impressed with all the teams, lots of natural talent, lots of flare, they were not afraid to play their shots, so moving forward the standard was really high,” he said.

“It was inspirational playing on the field with these guys as each individual cricketer has a different story to tell. The way this tournament has grabbed everyone’s attention I see no reason whatsoever that there will not be a World Cup in the next couple of years.”

England and Pakistan were the only two countries to field physical disability cricket teams in competitive fixtures prior to this event, but the duo was joined by India, Afghanistan and hosts Bangladesh at the competition.

England lost their opening game against Bangladesh but went on to beat India, Pakistan and Afghanistan in the group stages before beating Pakistan once more in the final.

Watts hat-trick seals a resounding victory Saturday October 10 - London 2 South East Horsham 51 – 17 Thanet Wanderers Rugby Dave Smith – Sports Editor Horsham gained revenge over Thanet Wanderers after the Kent side beat Horsham twice two seasons ago when Thanet went on to earn promotion.

Despite having to make six changes from last week’s winning side due to illness, holiday and work commitments the Green and Whites put in their best performance of the season that resulted in this huge bonus point win.

The tone was set in the first minute when Aled Price kicked a penalty awarded for offside. The next ten minutes saw Horsham come under pressure from Wanderers but after weathering the surge they began mounting their own successive attacks.

When the Thanet defence was breached it came from a spectacular try by Mike Watts who run from the

25 yard line to beat seven defenders in an early contender for try of the season. Both sides exchanged penalties before Thompson ran in from the half way line, Price was successful with the kick to make it 20-3 after 15 minutes.

After a barren spell of play Thanet narrowed the deficit to 20-13 through a converted try but minutes before the break Watts got his second try of the match to give the score a more comfortable look.

A succession of penalties after the restart saw Thanet narrow the gap to 25 – 17.

Horsham made some tactical changes that included a debut for Josh Steggles at scrum-half and the team found new impetus.

Thompson scored his second try of the match on 66 minutes, Joe Wilde went over in the 74th minute and Watts completed his hat-trick 3 minutes later. The fourth try of the all action final dominant last 15 minutes for Horsham came after Jonny Ordidge went through several tackles before putting McCabe over under the posts for the seventh try. Price added two penalties and five conversions over the course of the game.

Simon Gaynor catching at the lineout in the huge win over Thanet A delighted Horsham coach Nick Stocker said: “We set a target to be attack minded this season and I am pleased that we scored seven tries showing our attacking intent. We have scored at least four tries in every game this season and we are fashioning opportunities and being clinical.

Mike Watts had a great game and offered a finishing threat whenever he

touched the ball on his home debut.

James Johnson now looks settled at fly-half and it is a great asset to have Johnny Ordidge’s versatility of being able to step into the second row from centre which gives us greater options on the bench. My joint man of the match went to Simon Gaynor and Mike Watts.”

Rugby Martin Read – Sports Reporter A much weakened Pulborough side – featuring eight changes from the previous line up - gave a good account of themselves against bigger opposition, captain Simon Burfiend saying: “I’m extremely proud of the way the team fought back”.

Eastbourne have amassed 137 points

to date – only bested by one other team – but Borough played better as the game went on, only narrowly missing out on a losing bonus point. Borough opened the scoring from a Tom Hoey penalty in the third minute before Eastbourne hit back with two uncoverted tries. Ben Miller then crossed the line for Borough, Hoey again succeeding with the kick. The hosts responded with three more tries – the last just before half time – to lead 25-10.Undaunted, Borough came out fighting after the break and were soon back in contention from skipper Simon Burfiend’s try, again maximised by Hoey.

Borough Team Manager Roger Hunt told the District Post: “We did very well considering our depleted resources, especially in the second half, which we most certainly won. The only frustration was their last ditch try depriving us of a useful bonus point.”

Pulborough, now seventh but on equal points with sixth placed Old Dunstonians, return to action on Saturday week (October 24) with a home game against Burgess Hill, 13.00 start.

Burgess Hill occupy penultimate spot in the table having lost three games out of four.

Saturday October 10 – South Clubs’ Women’s Hockey League Div. 1 Horsham Ladies 1st XI 2 - 0 Reading Horsham put Reading under pressure and ran out well deserved winners after taking the lead in the opening skirmishes.

Tiff Male found the net after five minutes but despite Horsham creating several chances the score remained 1-0 at the break. Seven minutes after the restart Horsham increased their lead, Lydia Allen scoring following a period of sustained attacks. Goalkeeper Hannah Simpson kept Reading strikes at bay but the second half belonged to Horsham, continuous forays earning seven short corners.

England’s Dan Shingles, Horsham Ladies’ coach told the District Post: “It was great to see us keeping a clean sheet. We created corners and would have liked more goals but their keeper had an excellent game. This is a tough league and we’ve got to keep pushing. We kept it tight and moved forward, which we need to do so we’re very happy with the result - our most professional performance of the season to date.” Ecstatic Team Manager Jane Denman beamed: “Better – much better!” Surbiton remain top – with ten points - followed by Barnes on eight. Horsham Ladies are now fourth with seven, just shaded by Southgate, who have equal points but a marginally superior goal difference. Southgate beat basement side Havant 5-0 last week and entertain Horsham tomorrow (Saturday Oct 17) in a clash destined to determine the positions of the chasing pack in the early season table.

Saturday October 10 – South League Premier Div. 2 Horsham Men 1st XI 5 - 3 West Hampstead Hockey Martin Read – Sports Reporter Horsham trailed at half time and subsequently went 3-1 down but fought back strongly to win in style with the visitors on the back foot.

West Hampstead took the lead with a scrappy goal after eight minutes, but Jack Dean – highest scorer in the league – promptly scooped in a short corner to equalise before Horsham went behind again from a retaken set piece.

Horsham stepped up the pace after the break yet Hampstead increased their lead against the run of play despite three home short corners in as many minutes. With Horsham attacking relentlessly goals were inevitable and John Burroughs reduced the deficit and then Noah Chinn levelled the score until a long Jack Dean

run ended with a diving goal from Cirdec Atkinson to give Horsham the lead for the first time.

With Easter coming early – the umpires under assessment awarding seven yellow cards in quick succession – Joey Humphreys turned Hampstead’s defence inside out enabling Duncan Howarth to take Horsham to a resounding 5-3 victory, skipper Duncan saying: “We’ve been working hard in training and its pleasing to see our practice moves paying off.” Team

Manager Al Campbell added: “They had just three chances and converted them all; we were far and away the better team!”

Two wins from two games puts Horsham top ahead of London Edwardians and Marlow on level points but inferior goal differences.

Tomorrow (Saturday Oct 17) Horsham visit Eastleigh to take on Trojans, beaten in both games to date.

League favourites Hornets win again Photos by John Lines

Chichester stopper Jack Faggan collides with his team mate ilar goal to that scored by Chichester gave the Hornets the lead they kept until half time; City keeper Fagan parrying out Dodd’s header to Pamment who hammered the ball back into the net.

The second half was much more of an open affair with both sides ‘going for it’. Chances came and went for both teams and a long delay occurred when visiting ‘keeper Fagan was clattered by his own team mate Madden.

Fagan stayed on the field until the 73rd minute when his injury finally

got the better of him. Reserve ‘keeper Austen Holden had been on the field for only a couple of minutes when Horsham sealed the win when Darren Boswell ran through before chipping the outrushing Holden for 3-1.

The icing was put on the cake with 3 minutes remaining when Jordan Clark fired in a free kick awarded by referee Harris when it was obviously a penalty. So, Horsham record another impressive win in what is becoming an impressive first season for manager Di Paola.

Man of the Match: Daniel Under 14 Sparrows came up against Ashurstwood in the first round of the Plate. Sparrows ran out 3-1 winners in a competitive game with 2 Goals from Zak and 1 from Alex. The Man of the Match was Mark.

Under 15 Sparrows hosted visitors from Hurstpierpoint Colts and started strongly taking a 2 goal lead. Hurst got one back and grew in confidence but 2 more goals in the second half secured the home win. Goals came from a hattrick from George and a penalty from Luke. Man of the match was Paul.

Under 13 Girls faced a tough away game against last year's league winners Crawley Town. Sparrows conceded just before half time but came out strongly after the break and levelled with a penalty from Jess N. Both teams had chances before the end but it finished 1-1.

Under 14 Girls travelled to Cuckfield with high hopes. Olivia returned to the starting line-up and the girls started positively and Becca scored following a free kick from Emily.

The lead didn’t last long as Cuckfield equalised from a corner. In the second half Becca got her second goal of the game but again Cuckfield came back and scored a goal on the break to make the score 2-2 at full time.

Sparrows women’s team produced the best performance from them for a long time, winning 9-0. They played extremely well in the first half, driven on by Amber at the heart of the midfield, with 5 first half goals from Harriet (2) Charlotte, Naomi and Hannah. The second half saw 4 more goals 2 from Charlotte completing her hat-trick and 1 each from Amber and Hannah.

Saturday October 10 - Southern Combination Football League Premier Division Broadbridge Heath 1 – 2 Newhaven Football Dave Smith – Sports Editor For the second time in a week Heath suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of the unbeaten league leaders Newhaven.

Also like the midweek encounter manager Steve Painter was faced with a number of players missing through work commitments and injury.

Things could not have started worse for Painter’s patched up side as they found themselves a goal behind after just four minutes when Newhaven’s lively striker Lee Robinson latched onto a long free kick before finding the corner of the goal.

After this early set back Heath had most of the next 20 minutes play; managing to stifle the dangerous Robinson and have a few efforts at visiting ‘keeper Jake Buss’s goal. However just before the half hour a cross into the Heath penalty area found Craig Bunch unmarked from where he beat Heath ‘keeper Chester. With a two goal advantage the visitors were now content to sit back and rely on quick breaks which allowed Heath a lot of possession without creating much in the way of chances.

‘Keeper Buss was called upon to

their push for the league title, despite Dom Di Paola’s side not being at their best.

Horsham had referee Harris to thank in the 10th minute when he decided to pull play back for a free kick and not allow the obvious advantage when City’s Dan Hegarty was clean through on goal. It was a let off that the Hornets grabbed only 2 minutes later. Horsham captain and fast becoming their talisman – Joe Shelley, controlled a ball that was fired across the area and turned and

shot at a tight angle to beat ‘keeper Jack Fagan.

City were proving no push over’s and were certainly more than holding their own against the home side and were rewarded with a deserved equaliser in the 21st minute. Hartley again got in behind the Horsham defence and crossed the ball into the area where Williams parry out was met by Rob Madden who fired passed the Horsham ‘keeper for the first goal conceded by Horsham in six matches.

10 minutes before the break a sim-

produce one great stop – diving to save low down from Scott Weller’s fierce drive – but the visitors took their two goal lead into the break.

Heath came out for the second half on the front foot and dominated possession from the start taking only 10 minutes to break their duck when Merv Bhujon fired past Buss

Things could not have started worse for Painter’s patched up side as they found themselves a goal behind after just four minutes from the edge of the area. The visitors still looked dangerous on the break and Chester twice was called upon to save well from Robinson.

The play was all with Heath however but a succession of corners failed to produce the all important equaliser and Newhaven held on to take all three points back to East Sussex.

Chesworth scored first through Regan, when he followed up a saved penalty before Nyle then doubled the Chesworth lead just before half time.

Crawley pulled one back when Callum slipped up and Leo was beaten by a superb volley. Chesworth then sealed the match when Toby headed home from a corner. The second match was also Chesworth’s 0 - 14 with an own goal starting this match, Callum, Jake and Zander scored 2 each. Regan scored and Leo bagged 6.

Despite Chesworth having most of the second half possession Steyning scored again to give Chesworth an early exit from the cup.

Tuesday October 13 - Southern Combination Football League Premier Division Horsham 4 – 0 Loxwood

Horsham’s hat-trick hero Darren Boswell

Favourites Horsham hit top spot in the Premier Division on Tuesday night after another impressive result.

Fourth placed Loxwood came into the match in a rich vein of form having won their last ten games but with Horsham having won their last eight, something had to give. Loxwood also had the added ‘boost’ of having Hornets legend Eddie French in their line-up which only goes to strengthen the warranted, but probably unwanted, tag Horsham will now carry of champions elect.

It was not to be the returning French however that left Gorings Mead the hero; that accolade went to Horsham’s Darren Boswell who hit a superb hat-trick.

As would be expected the opening exchanges were cagey with both sides wary of each other. The opening goal was going to be important and it went to Horsham after 18 minutes of end to end play. Although Boswell finished superbly - controlling the ball and spinning to beat ‘keeper Sam Smith – the ball came to him from a long downfield rushed clearance from Horsham stopper Gareth Williams.

Two minutes later and Horsham were two up. Kieron Pamment’s shot was saved but not held by Smith in goal and there was the lively Boswell to slam the loose ball into the net.

For the remainder of the half Loxwood tried to get back into the game but Horsham dealt comfortably with everything thrown at them and

could have added to their own tally.

Any hopes Loxwood had of turning the deficit around were killed off three minutes into the restart. Man of the match Boswell dispossessed Josh Courtney and hit a low drive under Smith for his and his team’s third goal to effectively seal all three points with nearly half the game to play. From here on in Horsham controlled the game without being spectacular, dealing comfortably with the visitors forays into their half while keeping ‘keeper Smith active at the other end.

If the game was not already over as a contest Terry Dodd hammered in the final nail with ten minutes remaining by planting his volley past Smith for 4-0.

Horsham now take their winning nine game run to Eastbourne Town tomorrow (Saturday Oct 17) for a difficult encounter as Town have a league record this season so far of seven wins, one draw and no defeats.

Heath make it through in Ten-man YM suffer fourth straight loss cup with three late goals Tuesday October 13 – Peter Bentley Cup 3 Broadbridge Heath 3 – 0 Selsey Football Dave Smith – Sports Editor Broadbridge Heath disposed of Selsey in this Peter Bentley Challenge Cup third round tie with three goals in the final 25 minutes.

After a much laboured first half, in which Heath never really seemed to get going, the second half proved to be a much better affair. Whatever

manager Painter said at half time to his lacklustre team had a magical effect, lifting his side to victory over their Division 1 opponents.

Three goals in eight hectic minutes was to be Selsey’s undoing with Tiago Andrade opening the scoring in the 66th minute, Scott Weller adding a second in the 70th and Jamal Sultan wrapping up the match four minutes later.

Its back to league action for Heath tomorrow (Saturday Oct 17) when they travel to Hassock’s Beacon Ground looking for all three points.

Horsham FC part company with Croudace Homes

The controversial Hop Oast site Football Dave Smith - Sports Editor Horsham FC Chairman Kevin Borrett has announced that the circumstances have changed regarding securing a new ground for the club.

The Chairman stated that the preferred option of submitting a revised application at Hop Oast,

instead of appealing Horsham District Council’s refusal of the initial application, has had to be reviewed.

Croudace Homes, the property builders involved with the original application, have stated that they do not want to appeal HDC’s refusal or resubmit a revised application to the plans at either of the two sites.

The club has reached an agreement with Croudace Homes to dissolve the partnership they had as developers but retain the plans and technical data that exists.

The club will now short list a number of other developers who have expressed an interest in working with the club on the development of the two sites.

A decision on a new development partner is expected before the New Year.

Saturday October 10 - Southern Combination Football League Premier Division Pagham 4 – 3 Horsham YMCA

Photos by Clive Turner

Football Tom Norris – Football Reporter Horsham YMCA were stunned in stoppage time for the second successive game last Saturday, as their unbeaten Premier Division start came to an end with a 4-3 defeat away at Pagham.

Dean Carden’s seventh minute penalty gave YM an early lead, but a quick fire brace from Lions midfielder George Cody and a Dan Simmonds spot kick turned the fixture on its head to leave Peter Buckland’s side trailing 3-1 at the break.

The visitors were much improved following the restart and after Sam Schaaf reduced the deficit midway through the second period, substitute Paul White’s 92nd-minute leveller looked to have shared the spoils.

But after YM winger Dave Brown was sent off following a second yellow card, Pagham striker Simmonds headed home his second of the afternoon seven minutes into added time to make it 4-3 and deliver Buckland’s side the most devastating of blows. The defeat marked a fourth straight loss for YM, who are now winless in five and eleven points behind league leaders Newhaven, albeit with two games in hand.

Boss Buckland commented: “I think that the players did well to get back into the game and I really, honestly thought that I was going home with a point until we conceded right at the death. My biggest grief is where the time came from. It was

Keeper Simon Lockwood dealing with a Pagham attack

Sam Schaaf scoring YM`s second goal the ninety-seventh minute. I asked the referee on ninety minutes how long there was left and he said three minutes stoppage. That’s two games running now. It should have been over and done with and we should be going home with a point, very content after a shambles in the first half where they scored three goals.

I thought that we were the better team in the second half, but if you’re going to concede four goals, it’s always hard to win a game of football.”
