Hustings held to discuss issues in the run up to local elections There will be local elections for Horsham District Council on May 2nd and, to inform electors of the issues, the Horsham Society arranged a “Question Time” hustings in the Causeway’s Barn on Monday evening to enable voters to question candidates about their plans for the town. The open meeting was to be chaired by BBC Parliamentary Correspondent Mark D’Arcy, but he was retained at Westminster on Brexit matters, Horsham Society Chairman Malcolm Willis taking over, explaining that the Society is a non political organisation before asking the candidates to outline their plans. David Hide, Chair of Horsham Labour Party, said his top priority is affordable housing with 50% of such units in new developments while preserving our ancient woodlands and green areas, adding that it is totally unacceptable to see homeless people living on the street in our affluent area, although it was not stated whether these are local people. Next Dr David Skipp, Liberal Democrat, echoed the need for affordable housing, but with a 3540% target, saying that ring fenced money – £12.5 million – is available from developers, and stating that

568 families await housing, with 26 people placed in B&Bs. Ray Dawes, Head of the local Conservatives then told the substantial gathering that Tory strategy is to maintain and improve the quality of local life with prudent planning for the future in relation to shopping, parking, leisure, transport and services and the protection of wild life. He subsequently disputed the number of families on the waiting list, saying that homelessness had been reduced by 14%. Catherine Ross of the Green Party was also invited, but was not in attendance. Questions from the floor included: how Labour could hold Horsham District Council to book - as stated in their leaflet distributed at the venue – when they have no councillors? David Hide replied that issues are raised on the doorstep and in the press and that the quality of scrutiny of HDC needs to be a lot tighter. How could voters be sure of whom they are voting for, given the currently divisive state of British politics? Ray Dawes responded: “We are a diverse group just trying to do our best for the town.” Then came impassioned concern from the Wimblehurst Road Residents’ Association regarding the former Novartis site, which had been originally reserved for educational occupation but now seems destined for housing and business use with severe doubts as to the adequacy of the transport arrangements, coupled with pollution fears. David Skipp agreed that traffic is already

New Sports Bar to open this weekend

This Saturday, the doors open to a new venue in town and it’s one that may fast become your local. The Clubhouse is a sports bar that caters for everybody,

busy in the area, which is not inviting for cyclists and he regretted that the hoped for university campus will not materialise. David Hide said that the development should reflect the consideration of jobs, social housing and the environment, Ray Dawes adding that HDC have made representations to West Sussex County Council and that any new facilities will be subject to a planning decision. Other questions related to: the controversial incinerator proposal

David Hide said there are significant funds available and that a lot of money is being spent on developments like Piries Place, inaccessible to many because of ticket prices, while Ray Dawes referred to the “Labour money tree” and David Skipp commented that it is easy to promise the

The cost of parking fees for disabled drivers was then raised, differing opinions emerging, and the lively meeting closed after a deliberation on the excellence of Horsham Park and the need to safeguard its unique character.

Whilst the headline may sound slightly trivial it actually stems from something quite serious that caused distress for many. Darion Bates, 51 of no fixed address was given a Criminal Behaviour Order by Crawley Magistrates Court after it heard he was responsible for a number of incidents in the North horsham area. This 5 year ban prevents him from “touching or entering any unsttended vehicle without the express permission of the owner, entering a driveway to any residential property without the

express permission of the owner and from entering the following locations: Beech Road, Elgar Way, Walton Drive, Lambs Farm Road, Fency Close, Briton Close, Beaver Close, Lockwood Close, Earls Meadow,, Cookes Mead Rusper, Forest Close and Greenfields Road.” Adam Ferries of Horsham Prevention Team said, “We are aware of the impact Bates has been having on the local community and we hope this order will send out a clear message that we are listening to issues and robustly responding. Bates has recently been convicted of a number of offences of vehicle interference and theft and this type of behaviour will not be tolerated. For this order to be successful we need to rely on the ears and eyes of our community. If you see Bates in an area he is prevented from being in please get in contact with us. No one knows your neighbours and community better than you do so let us work together and ensure this behaviour is not tolerated.” If anyone sees Bates in a restricted road or engaging in crime they are urged to contact police on 101 quoting 47190014022

Over two thirds (69%) of men in the UK aged between 18-34 don’t know that they are in the age group most at risk of getting testicular cancer, according to new research[i] from leading global men’s health charity, the Movember Foundation. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men, with around 2,200 cases in the UK every year. The charity is now urging men in the at-risk age group to carry out regular selfchecks as early diagnosis is key to successful treatment. Incidence rates are projected to rise by 12% in the UK between 2014 and 2035, to 10 cases per 100,000 males by 2035[ii]. The Movember Foundation’s Global Director of Testicular Cancer, Sam Gledhill, said: “The fact that so many men are unaware that they are in the highestrisk age group is very worrying. There’s a widespread assumption that it’s a disease that predominantly affects older men, but that’s just not the case. Testicular cancer strikes early, so checking regularly and knowing what to look for is crucial.” However, the poll of 1,093 British men conducted by YouGov, also found that 42% of men in the at-risk age group (aged 18-34) didn’t know or are unsure how to perform a testicular self-examination. Sam continued: “If you’re a guy

in your 20s or 30s, you should definitely be getting to know your testicles a little better. What they look like, what they feel like and what’s normal for you down there. “The shower is a great place to start because the warmth relaxes the scrotum, making the exam easier. “Around once a month, when you’re in the shower, gently roll one testicle at a time between your thumb and fingers. If you notice any changes, don’t panic, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have cancer, but you should definitely get it checked out.” Testicular cancer will often present as a lump or pain in the testicle, an increase in size or a change in the way a testicle feels – although these symptoms can be vague or may not be the same for everyone. Those most at risk are men who had undescended testes at birth, or those with a relative who has diagnosed with testicular cancer. Although survival rates are high (over 95 per cent), up to one in 20 cases are fatal. The Movember Foundation has pledged to halve the numbers of men dying from testicular cancer by 2030.

200 people sleep outdoors as part of YMCA DownsLink annual Sleep Easy event

In the grounds of Horsham YMCA’s football ground at Gorings Mead, 16 people settled down under cardboard for the night, to raise awareness and funds for the YMCA’s work with young people. Among them was Ian who was homeless himself 20 years ago: “A reminder of my time living on the streets. It reminded me how difficult being homeless was for 18 months and for us all to work harder at getting people off the streets in such an affluent first world country.” Many echoed his thoughts. Wendy added: “It was certainly an experience I will never forget. For one night only, it’s manage-

able and we were fortunate with the weather. Although it was cold, it wasn’t as cold as it has been. Also being dry helped. It certainly makes you realise how uncomfortable and lonely it would be without a group or organisation. Being able to go home the next day to shower, change and sleep is something the homeless don’t have the luxury to do. It was humbling.” Sleep Easy took place in five locations across YMCA Downslink Group’s area, and, to date, it has raised more than £42,000. YMCA Horsham’s Andy Ide said: “We are all aware that homelessness is increasing, with young people increasingly becoming the ‘hid-

den homeless’ who are insecurely housed and not sure where they will be night after night. An event like this does not replicate homelessness, but does bring sharply into focus the luxuries many of us take for granted. “The money raised by YMCA Sleep Easy will make a huge difference to the young vulnerable and homeless people we work with. We are so thankful for all those who slept out and supported the event, especially Horsham YMCA Football Club for letting us use their facilities – we have an amazing community here in Horsham.” Donations can still be made online at bit.ly/SleepEasy19

Horsham Rotary Club Bunny Hunt returns to the town

As part of Horsham’s Easter celebrations, which include the town’s fantastic Piazza Italia Festival, on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday, many of the Town Centre businesses will hold a Bunny Hunt during the school holidays and the run up to Easter. The rabbits will be around the town at the participating businesses, all waiting to be tracked down from Saturday April 6 until Easter Monday, April 22. Accompanied preteenage children can visit a range of shops and draw ‘Find the Carrot’ cards to discover whether they have won a little treat and then find the name of the bunny that is hiding in that shop! The children then enter the bunny’s name onto a form (copy of which is on the back of this paper) to stand a chance of winning cash prizes of up to £40. The completed forms are

then returned to either Toy Barnhaus in Swan Walk or Horsham Museum in the Causeway, or can be scanned and sent as a PDF to Secretary@horshamrotary.org.uk. This activity is organised by the Rotary Club of Horsham, in partnership with Horsham District Council, and participation is free to the children. The event is kindly sponsored by Brock Taylor, Toy Barnhaus and Impact Specialist Finance. Entry forms will be available at the participating shops, downloadable from the Rotary Club of Horsham’s Facebook Page and it’s website at www. horshamrotary.org.uk as well as other local websites, social media forums and the local press. Rotary’s Great Easter Bunny Hunt is a marvellous event for all the family and can be completed in one go or over a number of days, whatever suits those taking part. So mums and dads, grandparents, older brothers and sisters, friends and neighbours bring your young family members into town and go hunt the bunnies!

Horsham primary school wins £500 towards playground project

Trafalgar Community Infant School in Horsham has received £500 funding after winning a local community fund campaign run by the Kingsfold based builders’ merchant NYEs Building Supplies. Proud to be Local, which was set up by NYEs in 2018, offers community groups, charities and causes the chance to receive £500 funding towards a project of their choice.

The initiative is run four times during the year and anyone is able to put forward a nomination. Nominations are shortlisted to three finalists that go head to head in a public vote to determine the winner. Votes can be cast by email, on Facebook and at the NYEs depot. Karen McGinnis, whose son attends the school, is a member of the fundraising group The Friends

of Trafalgar School. Karen made the nomination to NYEs in January as part of the group’s aim to raise £40,000 towards playground equipment. Alys Ransom, who is Chair of The Friends of Trafalgar School, said: “This is a marvellous campaign and we cannot thank NYEs enough. Schools are facing an extremely challenging time so this money is very gratefully received and will go a long way to helping us obtain our target of £40,000. The children, parents, staff, governors and the FTS members at Trafalgar Community Infant School will be delighted.” Rex Nye, who is Managing Director at NYEs, said: “As a local business we’re acutely aware of the issues schools in our community are facing in terms of funding, and the consequences to facilities and equipment, which is why campaigns like Proud to be Local are so important. “Huge congratulations to Trafalgar Community Infant School and our thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for all three finalists. As ever, we’re touched by the dedication of local people to supporting vital community work and facilities.”

Storrington Rotarians raise emergency funds for the Cyclone IDAI Appeal Cyclone IDAI has left a trail of destruction in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe. Aid workers, including Rotary International, are working to get help, food and water to desperate survivors. Storrington & Pulborough Rotary Club members reacted quickly by collecting £481 in Old Mill Square, Storrington, on Saturday (30 March). This was rounded up to £500, by the Club, and given to the Disasters Emergency Committee for distribution where needed. The Rotary Club also sent £1,500 to ShelterBox - a Rotary partner-

ship that gives support to devastated communities and families - to fund Three ShelterBoxes that include family-size tents, water storage and purification equipment, thermal blankets, and cooking utensils. Rotary President, Penny Barnes, thanked Storrington shoppers for their support for the appeal: “We have all been moved by the plight of the people affected by this disaster and, thanks to the generosity of local folk in Storrington, we have been able to provide some small humanitarian assistance to this devastated region.”

Well done Cairine!

Cairine Currie, Account Manager at Billingshurst marketing agency PMW Communications, is being hailed a hero by her colleagues after completing the London Landmarks Half Marathon on Sunday 24 March, despite breaking her wrist seven weeks ago and initially having to pull out of the event. Cairine started a 20-week training programme at the beginning of November and was looking forward to completing her first half marathon in aid of Age UK. But, after a fall

in February she badly broke her wrist and, following an operation where a metal plate was inserted, she was disappointingly advised to pull out of the event. With her wrist on the mend, Cairine made the decision to run on the day of the half marathon and completed the course with her daughter Kirsten, who works for the charity. Cairine commented: “It was a hugely disappointing to have to pull out and, although my daughter took over my fundraising, I did feel I was letting down

everyone who had made a donation. Age UK does fantastic work in supporting older people when they most need it, by providing companionship, support and advice, so I was delighted to be able to complete the course and raise £560 to help them to be there for even more people. “My PMW colleagues, family and friends have been hugely supportive, and I’d like to thank everyone who made a donation to support me and Kirsten.” The 13.1-mile London Landmarks Half Marathon took runners past some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London, as well as some quirky hidden secrets, such as Britain’s smallest police station, and Australia House, which was used as the setting for Gringott’s Bank in the Harry Potter films. Peter Sutton, Managing Director of PMW Communications, added: “We’re all so proud of Cairine, as we know how upset she was at having to pull out – she’s definitely a hero in our eyes! She hadn’t told anyone that she was considering running after all, so we were shocked and delighted to hear that she’d done it. Congratulations to Cairine and Kirsten for raising such a fantastic amount of money for Age UK.” Donations can still be made by visiting Cairine’s Just Giving page - https://www.justgiving. com/fundraising/cairine-currie

‘The Clubhouse’ Horsham’s place for sports fans Continued from front page Many may remember the days of Colours, which later became the pool room and then Shots, the American pool and snooker bar that accompanied the bowling centre and nightclub in Albion Way. This is that.....but better. Under the ownership of Nick McDowell, Graham Kempster and Stuart Green the entire complex has been revolutionised and the addition of The Clubhouse shows how much effort has been put in by the three men to give the peo-

ple of Horsham what they need. A multi faceted leisure complex that aims to entertain Children, Families, Couples and Individuals. With sporting memorabilia adorning the walls and a decor that shouts out an intimate yet vibrant vibe, this could quite easily be your destination of choice as you follow your team through their sporting calendar. With events taking place throughout the year, you wouldn’t need anywhere else!

Professor Brian Cox backs St Catherine’s Hospice art trail

Professor Brian Cox, OBE, has shown his support for the St Catherine’s Hospice HeART to Heart art trail, ahead of its public launch this summer. Following sold out shows at the Hawth Theatre and the Brighton Centre, which explored the vast, possibly infinite universe and our place within it, Brian met hospice staff to admire the aptly named My Universe heart, which has been sponsored by Avensys Ltd, located on the Manor Royal. Designed by local artist, Johanna Paterson, My Universe was one of the first designed hearts for the trail. It was created to replicate the literal universe with the figurative meaning between loved ones when a person means everything to you. Johanna used a blend of colour to create a galaxy which highlights the enormity of love. Wire encircles the heart in four loops to create a 3D multi-sensory planet effect too. Brian said: “It’s been great to hear about (and show my support for) St Catherine’s Hospice HeART to Heart trail. The ‘My Universe’ heart is stunning and right up my street! I love the concept of art

bringing the local community together to raise money for a worthy cause. I hope lots of people will take the chance to get out on the hospice’s trail this summer and grab a selfie with My Universe and the other hearts. I’ll be watching HeART to Heart develop with interest.” The HeART to Heart trail, sponsored by Thakeham, will give the local community a unique chance to follow a heart sculpture trail across Sussex and Surrey. Each heart has been custom designed by a local artist. The trail will be in place across the areas where St Catherine’s provides people with end of life care for around 10 weeks during summer 2019. An interactive app and trail map will encourage people to visit each heart to unlock its secrets. A community art project and secret heart exhibition will also run alongside the main trail, which will be followed by a live auction. It’s hoped the trail will bring income and visitors to the local area. To find out more, please visit: www.stch.org.uk/hearttoheart

Local students weald the power of the pen to bolster Worthless Campaign

The Governing Body and leadership of Billingshurst Primary School have launched a campaign aimed directly at the Secretary of State for Education, Mr Damian Hinds, having stated that the Worthless Campaign continues to strive for fairer funding for schools, but has been unable to secure a meeting with him. The pupils of the school have made a video, in which they put forward their case and ask Mr Hinds to agree to meet with Headteachers to discuss the funding crisis in our schools.

The children are filmed explaining to Mr Hinds that the school will send him a letter each day from a pupil. Currently, he may expect to receive 610 letters each day until he agrees to meet. The letter is: Dear Mr Hinds, We are worried about our school and that it doesn’t have enough money to help us learn. Please can you meet with the headteachers and talk about our future? In class, when we have a problem, we know that talking helps us find an answer. We don’t want our school, or any school, to lose out on fund-

ing because you can’t find time to discuss our education. If we had a job like you and we were the boss of schools, we would make sure they had enough money so everyone can learn lots and lots. We hope you can arrange a meeting with the headteachers soon, Yours sincerely Name, school A school representative said: “We have already started sending a letter a day to Mr Hinds and we are sharing as much as possible on social media but still we have not had a response.”

Collyer’s Young Enterprise Success! Metrobus Crawley celebrates

Top National Bus Depot award Metrobus has unveiled a goldfronted bus to celebrate its Crawley depot winning the Top National Depot award at the UK Bus Awards. The Depot of the Year goldfronted double decker bus, fleet number 6971, was recently unveiled and will serve multiple Metrobus routes. The company also won bronze in the Top Shire Operator award’s category. Metrobus’ Managing Director, Martin Harris, said: “Both of these awards are the result of a superb, sustained team effort. I couldn’t be prouder of the service Metrobus colleagues provide every day to customers and to the community. Their hard work and dedication shines through and has put Metrobus back on the top of the podium as Top National Bus Depot.”

The Collyer’s Young Enterprise team did brilliantly in the Area Finals, picking up several prizes, including: ‘Runner Up Best Company’ and ‘Best Product’. Collyer’s Nathaniel Kennedy was delighted to win the ‘Young Achiever’ award. This is on top of the prizes previously awarded for Best Stand and Best Business Plan. Collyer’s Employability Coordinator, Lucy Hargreaves, said:

“Everyone was obviously disappointed, but it’s still an amazing achievement to have won so many awards. The group have been absolutely wonderful, superbly supported by Nick Broom and Dominic Wakefield, who we are massively grateful to for their motivation and support. “The overall winners of Best Company were the students from Hurst, so they will now go forward into the Regional Finals. We wish

them every success!” Although the Collyer’s students are now out of the competition, they will continue with the meetings, support and guidance, as they will keep their company running until their exams begin in May. Deputy Principal, Steve Martell, said: “The Collyer’s community could not be prouder of this talented, creative and hard-working team. Well done everyone!”

Crawley depot won the Top National Depot title back in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The judges were impressed with the Crawley depot’s overall performance, from how the company looks after and rewards its employees, through to its investment in depot facilities and growing community outreach. The Top National Depot category recognises bus depots that provide outstanding service and are committed to their customers, communities and employees. Only eight bus depots from across the UK reached the final. Mark Yexley, Chairman of the UK Bus Awards, said: “Metrobus’ Crawley depot has an enviable reputation for quality, investment and customer service. It’s great to see innovations in new technology too.”

The Government Inspector The Walrus & The Carpenter The Mayor of a small town is in a cold sweat. News has reached him of an imminent investigation by a high-ranking government official travelling incognito - The Government Inspector! The town’s officials are thrown into a panicked frenzy. They waste no time to cover up the misdirected contracts, misuse of public money, the bribes, fiddled expenses, abuses of office … corruption that has been going on for years! Matters spiral hysterically out of control when they believe that a stranger new in town is the real Government Inspector! Dubious political deals, mishandled money, bribery, political panic – sounds familiar? The Government Inspector, written in 1835 by Gogol, is an hilarious satire about corruption in a world where, increasingly desperate to hide their wrongdoings and keep the supposed Government Inspector happy, everyone

loses their moral compass. “I am delighted to retell this classic. The Government Inspector! is as relevant today as when it was first written. Any similarity between the anonymous town in the show and one somewhere near you is simply coincidence!” Artistic Director, Gerry Flanagan. Shifting Sands Theatre Company create theatre that is both full of laughter and clowning, yet rich in emotion. It has won critical acclaim for playful, accessible adaptations of epic tales and classic texts - Faustus, King Lear, Great Expectations and The Seagull. The company now updates Gogol’s classic satire, yet stays faithful to the themes of the original. Performance: Thursday 11 April 7.45pm, The Hawth Studio Crawley. Tickets: £16 (Discounts: £14. Schools: £10), available from The Hawth Box Office: 01293 553636 and online: www.hawth.co.uk

“The time has come” to join the Walrus and the Carpenter, with some eager Oysters, on their hunt for a gourmet picnic spot! These comical characters, along with a capricious Maid with Mop, make entertaining company for all ages. This musical show, based around Lewis Carroll’s famous poem from Alice Through The Looking Glass, is set to live accompaniment on the accordion, and features a large weepy walrus puppet and his lugubrious chippy companion. There are also cameo appearances by updated twins

SUNDAY 7 APRIL 7.30PM

Come along during the Easter Holidays, when we will be open Wednesday to Sunday! Explore our Museum and follow our family STEAM trail around the 36 acres site. On Sunday 7 April, you can enjoy our annual Vintage Car Show, when over one hundred and fifty cars made before 1956 will be assembling at the Museum - With the cars on show from 10 am until 4pm, when they will leave in an organised procession. There will be a rare opportunity to view and hear luxury, sporting and the everyday cars of a long past era of motoring when every journey was an experience and driving was, by no means, always a comfortable pastime. On Sunday 14 April, we will be holding our Spring Industrial Trains day, with narrow-gauge action on the Museum’s railway, plus demonstrations runs with the Road Machine contractors’ monorail, and one of our resident steam trains in action to enjoy a ride on the railway in the 36 acre

site. Then over the Easter Weekend, including Easter Monday, families can enjoy a visit to the Museum, follow the Easter Trail and take part in activities around the Museum. We are home to the only traditional working print shop in the South of England, where you can have a go at printing your own souvenir certificate to take home. Also, on the Wednesday’s you can have a go at wood turning in the wood turners’ workshop. Children will be supervised by our skilled volunteers to have a go at turning out small wooden ornaments. We also have our resident potters on site, where children can have a go with their play with clay activities. Where most activities are included in our admission price, there may be some small fees for some special activities, and donations are always welcome. Located 10 minutes from Arundel in the heart of the South Downs National Park, you can discover the South’s working past. Learn about over 150 years of our

culture and heritage, and have fun riding around our Museum on our historic buses and narrow gauge railway. Our exhibits include our historic lime kilns, which are Scheduled Ancient Monuments, and original buildings from the days our site was a working chalk quarry. In our BT Connected Earth display, children can have fun learning about the history of communications and have a go on the old telephone switchboards. Our Electricity hall has a working model of a Tesla Coil, where demonstrations can be held by our volunteers when available. With over 40 exhibits to explore, there is so much to see in any weather. Our main open season is from the 6 March until 3 November, when we will be open from Wednesday to Sunday and Bank Holiday Mondays. With so much to discover, learn and have fun, you will want to come back! Visit www.amberleymuseum.co.uk now, to plan your visit.

Bumper TV season ahead for Champion John Mickel Motor Sport Martin Read - Sports Reporter Last year Faygate racing driver John Mickel made history at Brands Hatch’s Indy Circuit by winning his unique fifth Legend’s title at the wheel of his trademark orange K-Seal sponsored 1934 replica car. No stranger to silverware, with his trophies threatening to elbow him out of house and home, at the end of last season John said: “It was absolutely fantastic to make it four titles in a row and to win my fifth championship overall – and, until the will disappears, I fully intend to keep going, although I’m not getting any younger!” Rest assured, John will soon be back defending his

title! And, this year, Britain’s very best big-grid racing – the Legends Cars National Championship – fittingly has secured the category’s biggest ever television package for the 25th anniversary season. There will be full coverage of all 14 rounds, a total of 42 races this year, all broadcast across the UK, Europe and America through a variety of platforms, including Amazon Prime, digital satellite and Freesat Channel Front Runner and the BARC TV and Motorsport channels online. The TV coverage is being sponsored by 24hr Solutions, the multi-facility business run by Legends Cars National Championship racer Phil Turner, who made his competitive track debut last year in his “Help for Heroes” team 247 entry. Legends Cars owner

sponsored by

Phil Cooper describes the TV and online package as: “Fantastic – by far the most extensive offering that we’ve ever been able to provide and we’re extremely grateful to 24hr Solutions – the ultimate industry leading engineering company for their support. Over the past 25 years we’ve enjoyed incredible backing from our competitors and teams, but this TV deal takes things onto another level for us!” Appropriately, the 2019 Legends Cars National Championship kicks off at John Mickel’s beloved Brands Hatch - on the April 21st and 22nd, with Anglesey following in May, Brands Hatch again in June, Leicestershire’s Donington Park in August, Snetterton, Norfolk in September, Pembrey, South Wales (October) and culminating back at

Brands in November. Details of John Micket’s forthcoming season ares available at

Horsham Hockey Colts booming ahead

Horsham in play offs after strong finish to season Saturday March 30 – Investec Women’s League – Conference East Horsham Ladies 1 2 Sevenoaks Hockey Martin Read - Sports Reporter

Hockey Martin Read - Sports Reporter Towards the end of another successful season, Horsham Hockey Club is enjoying a particularly buoyant run. Chairman Chris Poland telling the District Post: “We celebrated our 50th year with a big sell-out dinner and one of our muchloved President’s Day social grass

tournaments at Horsham Cricket Club – in memory of our revered President, Hugh Thomas. This season our Ladies 1st XI has faced England players and our ladies’ teams have scored over 220 goals. Our Men’s 1s beat the otherwise unbeatable league champions, Guildford, with the men’s section posting over 240 goals. We’ve got 350 members playing, coaching, volunteering

and umpiring and both the Men’s and Ladies’ 1s are in the Sussex Cup Finals again, with the Colts having another fabulous season with awards and tournament wins across the age groups.” And, to underline the progress being made at the Club, the Under 12 Boys’ Coach, Biba Brooke-Webb says: “Congratulations to the boys – they’re going to the In2Hockey Regional Finals at Surbiton Hockey Club on April 28th. They played extremely well in February’s First Round, ending in nail-biting penalty shuffles. The all day tournament saw a total of 61 teams of girls and boys in U10 and U12 age groups competing at Hurstpierpoint College and our victorious team was Harry Bubb, Max Emberson, Dominic Hannan, Evan Graham, Henry Firth, Oscar Swatton, Ollie Crossley, Ollie Mitchell, Arthur Munn, Ben Humphreys and Zach Alun-Jones, and, along with Coaches Bean and Fran Crossley, I give my best wishes to the boys at the Final!” Meanwhile, Horsham Hockey Club’s Girls U14 Coach, Adrian Virkery tells us: “Following on from last year success as runners up in the England Hockey Cup Competition, our U14 Girls have taken it one step further this season qualifying for the Regional Finals, with a tabletopping four wins leading up to the final game, when we were up against the mighty Epsom, and down three goals within 20 minutes. But, despite fearing that it was all over, the highly motivated girls worked together to deliver a high class performance, putting Epsom under real pressure and pulling off an amazing come back to draw 3-3, winning the group and going to the Regionals. We are so proud of how well the girls played as a team with determination and amazing effort. Well done to Zoe, TIlly, Eleanor, Kiah, Louise, Alexia, Gracie, Charlie, Cordelia, Anna, Kitty, Katie, Imogen, Evie and Olivier – everyone at the Club is so proud of the way they pulled together and gave everything, we could not have asked for more. Well done and very best of luck in the Finals on 11th & 12th May!

The Ladies’ final league game of the season – in beautiful spring sunshine - went against Horsham, but there was much to savour in this entertaining, close game, with the definite possibility of a different outcome at the end of a strong second half display by Horsham. Sevenoaks, a big club with an impressive track record, though, made an early breakthrough, taking the lead in the third minute, benefiting from a slick passing move. After a passage of more even play a bad miss with an air hit was followed by a clean strike from the left, putting the visitors two up. Horsham immediately responded but Bella de Rocha’s close range backhander and a subsequent foray came to nought. Sevenoaks then thought that they had put the game to bed when Horsham keeper Hannah Jackson rushed out to kick clear only for the ball to be retrieved and smashed in, but the goal was disallowed on appeal. End to end hockey then ensued, Elle Blakesley’s solo effort earning Horsham a short corner, from which the post was hit with the ball coming back out to Elle for her to volley it into the net. A promising de Rocha combination with Lou Denman was then blocked, with Horsham now getting plenty of possession and goal time. However, Sevenoaks were clinical on the break, looking very direct going forward and likely to punish errors if given the ball, but the score remained 1-2 at the break. The second half began with another Blakesley attack delivering a short corner, then, after a

second Horsham short, the ball bounced up, hit the cross bar and was cleared – the goal was originally given with no complaints from Sevenoaks, but subsequently rescinded - perhaps a video replay might have judged in Horsham’s favour. Suddenly it was all Horsham - a long run by Laura Coggins saw her break through on the right before Rosie Firth’s powerful shot was just wide, ahead of de Rocha scything past the Sevenoaks defence, but the goal was not breached and Sevenoaks replied with four short corners in quick succession, Jackson and de Rocha keeping them at bay. De Rocha and Firth then battled through for another short, from which CJ White’s shot was deflected a whisker past the post by the Kentish keeper. A Denman individual incursion and a Horsham free hit failed to bear fruit, the game ending with a relieved Sevenoaks taking maximum points, Horsham Coach Chris Bowen telling the District Post: “Sevenoaks thumped us in the first game of the season but our young players have really stepped up and we worried Sevenoaks in the second half today. We had luck at times earlier in the campaign, but a bit more today might have made a difference!” Team Manager Jane Denman added: “We finished well in our first year back in the National League and are in the three-team play offs to decide which two go up into the re-structured Division 1 next season.” Details of the play off fixtures are awaited, meanwhile Horsham finished 7th, Hampstead and Westminster being crowned champions ahead of Wimbledon, with Ipswich bottom with just a single point. Horsham Ladies are also in the Sussex Cup Final - at Hurspierpoint College on April 13th - competing to retain their title (against Brighton & Hove) at 13.45.

Horsham stun OCs with clinical second half display

Saturday March 30 - London 2 South East Old Colfeians 38 62 Horsham Rugby Martin Read - Sports Reporter This season Old Colfeians had been something of a bogey side to Horsham – in December Horsham were narrowly pipped at home, then, in February they were beaten 38-28 in the RFU

Intermediate Cup. But, last Saturday when it really mattered, with a play off spot at stake, Horsham put things right. The OCs scored 38 points again, but that mattered not as Horsham scored far more. Yet, although Horsham scored first and early, after half an hour OCs were well in front, with Horsham needing considerable resolve to overtake them, for their initial victory at south east London’s

Horn Park. Jamie Redmayne put Horsham ahead in the first minute when he finished off a trademark Declan Nwachukwu run, Tom Johnson converting from an angle. However, it soon became apparent that Horsham needed to be firm and accurate, otherwise OCs would flourish and strong pressure from the hosts saw them respond with a maximised try and penalty to usurp the lead. Worse followed when an intervention enabled the hosts to notch up the first of two additional converted tries and suddenly Horsham were 24-7 adrift. Redmayne, though soon gathered Kyle Fairs’ supply to erode the deficit before Nwachukwu sped over the line, which with Johnson’s boot, significantly narrowed the gap. And, with half time beckoning, Horsham regained the lead – 2426 – courtesy of a Mike Watts try duly kicked over. Soon after the restart Johnson’s penalty eased Horsham further in front before Watts dummied through with another try, Johnson’s boot obliging to give Horsham a 12 point ad-

vantage, promptly boosted to 19 by Nwachukwu and Johnson. Shortly afterwards Watts was put through wide to score and, not to be outdone Nwachukwu got over, too – twice - Johnson converting two of the three, Horsham

This was always going to be the defining test of our promotion aspirations thundering to 62 points, having added 55 since the OCs last scored – the Londoners did notch up two converted tries at the death, but Horsham’s blistering second half had long since ambushed the game. Naturally elated by his side’s stunning showing, Horsham Head Coach Nick Stocker said: “This was always going to be the defining test of our promotion aspirations – travelling to the penultimate game of the season against

strong opposition with them on a quest to get to Twickenham in the cup would ask questions of most teams. Despite getting on the scoreboard first, we started slowly, basic errors allowing OCs to surge into a 24-7 lead. Thereafter we played to our structure, stretching their defence for our dangerous runners to exploit. After half time we accelerated away with a steady stream of tries executing high skill at pace in a spell of great teamwork and aggressive defence. With such a complete team performance the coaches eventually awarded a shared man of the match across the team, notwithstanding Declan Nwachukwu’s four tries, increasing his seasonal tally to 32.” On Saturday Horsham welcome Maidstone – whom they beat resoundingly in Mote Park in September - with the opportunity to nail down second place and a play off spot. Meanwhile, Beckenham remain top with 91 points with Horsham, after nine league wins on the bounce, second on 85 and Charlton Park third with 82.

Play off spot beckons as Horsham win again

double against out of form Sevenoaks, the ultimately comfortable win leaving the Hornets needing just one more success from their last four games to secure a much coveted place in the play offs for promotion to the Bostik Premier Division. Early on, Horsham keeper Josh Pelling could only push out a shot

by Lauris Chin and the Hornets were reprieved when the resultant Ryan Fowler strike hit the upright. Then, Horsham’s quiet start saw them under pressure again, but Kyle de Silva was twice thwarted by determined defensive work. Horsham responded, but Rob O’Toole was unable to connect with Tyrell RichardsonBrown’s cross ahead of another header from a corner being safely gathered by Sevenoaks’ goalkeeper Bridle-Card. However, a diving header by the ever persistent O’Toole gave Horsham the lead after 21 minutes, when the hosts failed to clear a corner. But, a golden opportunity to go two up went begging when Chris Smith’s penalty attempt was denied by the woodwork. Lee Harding was then blocked by Bridle-Card, but Horsham were calling the shots with O’Toole keeping the Sevenoaks back line on their toes, half time arriving with Horsham leading 1-0. Horsham, though, doubled their lead soon after the re-start when Smith made amends for his penalty miss with a clean conversion of O’Toole’s cross. Energised and with victory within their grasp, Horsham strove for a killer third goal and it duly came when O’Toole gleefully accepted Richardson-Brown’s, supply to skirt the keeper and tap in. And, it might have got even better, but Harvey Sparks’ shot was just off target. Horsham then relaxed, allowing Sevenoaks a late consolation goal, which although of little consequence, prevented a Horsham hat trick of clean sheets. But, currently third and needing to finish in the top five to feature in the play offs, Horsham visit 14th placed Sittingbourne on Saturday – in their last game the Kent side lost to bottom club Greenwich Borough, but Horsham will be looking to avenge their 2-1 defeat by Sittingbourne at Culver Road in August. Then, on April 13 the Hornets travel further into east Kent to play Herne Bay (16th), before, on the following Saturday, they have their final home game at Lancing against another Kent side – Faversham (17th). Play offs apart, Horsham finish their league programme with a visit to the Channel Islands to take on 18th in the table Guernsey on Easter Monday. Earlier in the season Horsham beat Herne Bay and Faversham and drew with Guernsey.

Cruel last ditch goal deprives YMCA Saturday March 30 – Southern Combination Football League – Premier Division Newhaven 1 1 Horsham YMCA Football Martin Read - Sports Reporter With runaway leaders Chichester City needing just one point from their last four games to be installed as champions, YM travelled to Newhaven with the chance of putting daylight between the two sides battling for the second spot in the table. And, YM led for more than half of the game, only to be devastated when the hosts snatched a point with a goal well into extra time. But, YM’s Keith Holmes told the District Post: “Newhaven started brightly and could have gone ahead in the early stages after creating several great opportunities to catch out the YM defence. The very impressive onslaught continued throughout the first 30 minutes but YM prevented Newhaven from capitalising and eventually took the initiative, Alex Barbary benefiting from a wicked deflection to wrongfoot the home keeper with a goal just before the break.” Keith Holmes continued: “The second half saw YM press in the

early exchanges with Dean Bown hitting the bar, but as the game wore on the hosts began to test the YM defence again, but the backline remained resolute until the very last action of the game when Newhaven grabbed a point at the death when the prolific Lee Robinson scored with a header, leaving honours even at the end of a very lively encounter.” As a result, Chichester City head the table with 85 points, with YM second on 73, Eastbourne Town third with 71 and Newhaven (70) fourth, but with a game in hand. YM return home on Saturday to play mid table Hassocks, to whom they lost heavily at The Beacon in the midst of the Christmas and New Year blues. Then, after a break on Saturday 13th, they have their last three games in quick succession – on Easter Saturday (20th) there is what is sure to be a hard fought local derby against Broadbridge Heath at the Leisure Centre, followed by two home games, first versus Crawley Down Gatwick on Easter Monday in a re-arranged Boxing Day fixture, and, on the last weekend of the season – Saturday April 27th - they welcome Langney Wanderers to Gorings Mead.

Another clean sheet win for in form Broadbridge Heath Saturday March 30 Southern Combination Football League Premier Division Langney Wanderers 0 1 Broadbridge Heath Football Martin Read - Sports Reporter Broadbridge Heath continued their vein of good form, scoring early and then holding off 15th in the table Langney Wanderers to win by the single goal in sunny East Sussex last Saturday. Although this was a rare visit to Priory Lane for Heath, recent signing Jamie Taylor is no stranger to the Wanderers shared home, where he played for host club Eastbourne Borough, and soon showed his liking for the superb 4G pitch, combining with Lee Carney to enable Devon Fender to unfurl a clean strike to give Heath the lead in the 14th minute. And, this might have been Heath’s second goal, but Martyn Flack’s earlier header was disallowed, Wanderers goalkeeper Dan Hutchins deemed to have been fouled. Wanderers responded with forays spearheaded by their Player of the Match, Gary Ingram and Heath keeper Kieron Thorp was tested with some long range shots,

with the woodwork reprieving Heath. Still trailing 0-1, after the break Wanderers kept probing, keeping Thorp and the Heath defence honest. But, Heath were also giving the Wanderers plenty to think about, George Cousins bringing out the best of Hutchins before Mason Doughty’s shot was kept out by the bar, and his set piece strike was pushed away for a corner. Heath were then reduced to 10 men after Bradley Peters picked up his second yellow card. The engaging proceedings ended after a disallowed hand ball claim following the diversion of Taylor’s volley, Heath delivering another clean sheet win With matters still to be resolved at the foot of the table, Broadbridge Heath return to the Leisure Centre on Saturday to welcome improving penultimate club, Eastbourne United, against whom they battled out a goal-less draw at the East Sussex side’s ground at The Oval in January. Then, with local bragging rights at stake, there will be two hard fought local derbies at home – Horsham YMCA (20th) and Loxwood on Easter Monday before the last game of the season at Arundel on Saturday 27th
