Copley’s Column I meet many famous and fabulous characters at my weekly celebrity breakfast including the wonderful clubland legend, Terry Herrington and his lovely wife Lydia. He is a superb pianist and regularly accompanies many talented performers in our impromptu weekly post breakfast cabaret. Terry is to retire from clubland on the 20th September after an amazing career spanning sixty three years. His career started at the tender age of fourteen and a half in 1950 as resident pianist at the Ryecroft and Rawmarsh Working Men’s Club accompanying Ernest Johns and his wife Daphne who appeared as the Sweethearts in Harmony and would become lifelong friends. In 1952, he took a position at Rotherham Trades Club, where he remained for four years. After a brief spell with clubland favourites Ronnie Dukes and Ricky Lee, he moved to the famous Greasborough Social Club in 1962 where he remained until it closed in 1969. During his time there, he worked with big stars including Jayne Mansfield, Johnny Ray, Bobby Vee, Matt Monro and many more. After the closure, Terry was very much in demand and moved to the Windmill Club in Rotherham for a year before a three year engagement at the Ba Ba Club in Barnsley, followed by two years at Wheatley Working Men’s Club and then the Night Owl Club at Sheffield Wednesday’s ground. He has been a keen follower of Wednesday ever since. After two years, he was asked by Barnsley’s Julian Jorg to be his musical director on a six month tour of Australia where he appeared with him at the famous Sydney Opera House. On their return they had a month long engagement at the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel. The tour was a huge success and shortly after returning, they were off on another six month tour. In 1976, Terry was appointed musical Director at The Derbyshire Miner’s Holiday Camp at Skegness where he worked with such stars as Peter Firmani and the Chuckle Brothers. By 1978, Ronnie Dukes and Ricky Lee had become national favourites and asked Terry to re-join them. He appeared with them at the
London Palladium and summer seasons on the Isle of Man and Great Yarmouth. He was playing with them at Behan’s West Park Nightclub when Ronnie collapsed and died on stage. At the end of the season, he did a week with mad-cap entertainer. Bernie Clifton, who has me in fits of laughter every week. Twenty years followed at the legendary Dial House Club, where he formed a seven piece dance band which had two singers, George Washington and Margaret Breslin. Another London Palladium appearance took place in 1995 with Clive Baldwin. Terry now teaches piano and plays for dancing at the Kingston Club in Barnsley, where he will bow out on 20th September.

WITNESS THE WORLD’S GREATEST MAGICIANS IN A STAGE SPECTACULAR
Following sell-out runs in Sydney and Mexico City, the world’s greatest live magic show is coming to Sheffield. The Illusionists are a collection of seven of the finest magicians on the planet, who perform outrageous, mind bending illusions which literally allow audiences to witness the impossible. The Illusionists: Witness The Impossible, a show for audiences of all ages, will be playing the Sheffield City Hall - on Wednesday 9 October, as part of its first ever UK tour. Simon Painter, Creative Director says: “From Dan Sperry’s shock illusions to comedy magician Jeff Hobson to Escapologist Andrew Basso who performs the Houdini inspired underwater escape live on stage, there is no other group of magicians who can deliver the mindblowing entertainment that The Illusionists do at every show.” “We’re all very excited to be performing in Sheffield. We’ve taken this show around the world and have played in front of some amazing audiences, but I’m sure the Sheffield crowds will be up there with the best of them. I hope you’re all ready to witness the impossible!” Having launched in January 2012, The Illusionists: Witness The Impossible has toured the world with staggering success. Seen by 73,000 people across just 17 days in Sydney and Mexico City alone, the show is currently touring South America and will play to packed houses in Dubai before coming to the UK in September. Showcasing jaw dropping acts of grand illusion, levitation, mind-reading, disappearance and for the first time ever in history, a full view water torture escape, The Illusionists: Witness The Impossible is a magic show like none other ever seen before. The cast of The Illusionists is comprised of the following performers: Dan Sperry ‘The Anti Conjurer’, Jinger Leigh ‘The Enchantress’, Andrew Basso ‘The Escapologist’, Mark Kalin ‘The Gentlemen’, Kevin James ‘The Inventor’, Jeff Hobson ‘The Trickster’ and Philip Escoffey ‘The Mentalist’. Each Illusionist is a master in their own field, and with the help of a world class ensemble cast of 20 assistants, they will each perform the most spectacular, mind blowing acts from their hugely impressive repertoires. The Anti Conjurer’s mastery of the shock illusion will drop the jaw of every audience member and The Escapologist’s life threatening escape will shock and awe. The Gentleman and The Enchantress’ theatrical blend of illusion and stunning drama will make the unfathomable, a reality. The Inventor is the master of deception and the improbable and The Trickster fuses comedy and magic to devastating effect – but don’t be fooled by his innocent appearance. The Mentalist mingles with the thoughts and reads the minds of his audience, leaving no boundaries uncrossed and all questioning what they thought was reality. Collectively, these performers have been seen by millions of people around the World and this production showcases their incredible talents together on stage for the very first time. This group of world-class performers draw influences from the showmanship of the great illusionists of the past such as Harry Houdini, and pair it with a new and updated contemporary aesthetic, whose set and costume design lend the genre a theatricality and artistry that has rarely been seen before.

Weekly Wit With... ALBERT SNODGRASS
My wife just called me, “Someone’s just dumped a two wheeled wooden carriage in the front garden; what should I do?” “Don’t touch it,” I advised. “It could be a trap.” My girlfriend said she’s leaving me because I’m “so behind the times” I think its because I wont let her use my Sony Walkman. Our local Post Office was robbed by a man dressed as a mummy. The police are describing the suspect as six feet tall, and anywhere between twenty five and eight thousand years old. My brother in law, Simon, and his wife, Phyllis, are always moaning about Jedward, saying it’s a stupid name to have for two celebrities. I hope they never become famous. Our local school is sending kids home with “Weight Report Cards”. It’s designed to alert parents to obesity issues. Our boy came home with one. “Fantastic news, Dave!” I read out loud. “You got an ‘A’!” “Unfortunately,” I continued, “it’s between an ‘F’ and a ‘T’.” I ordered a pint in a posh bar and asked if I could have forty quid cash back. “Certainly sir”, he said “Brilliant”, I said handing him a fiver. I saw my Grandad walking down the street with a shopping trolley today. I said to him, “What are you doing?” He replied, “Well, I’ve been having trouble walking and I couldn’t afford to pay £60 for a zimmer frame. So I got this from Asda for a pound.” 5p for a carrier bag? I must have enough for two weeks in Bali under the kitchen sink. My wife and I were in the middle of a heated argument when she said, “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t throw you out that door?” I replied, “I’m driving.” My wife phoned me today and said, “My waters have broken, I need you here now.” I replied, “Ok love, but don’t forget I am a plumber. So I’ll probably get there tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, but it’s more likely to be Wednesday morning some time.”

SHEFFIELD PERSONAL TRAINER SHORTLISTED FOR NATIONAL AWARD A Sheffield personal trainer has been shortlisted in the 2013 National Fitness Awards. Michael Lee, who works at MiTo Therapy, has been nominated in the gym based personal trainer of the year category. Michael, who lives in Dronfield, used his own achievements of regaining fitness after a cruciate ligament injury to inspire others. After recovering from the injury, which stopped him playing national level rugby, Michael went on to run the Paris Marathon twice raising £2,300 for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity. Known as ‘Miracle Mike’, he took Kate Allatt from being wheelchair-bound with Locked-in syndrome to running independently in just 18 months something that’s never been done throughout history. Michael is one of six finalists in the Personal Trainer of the Year category beating off competition from hundreds of nominations nationwide. Michael, who is based at Virgin Active, in Millhouses, said: “I’m really proud to have been nominated for this prestigious award. It’s fantastic to be recognised nationally for the work I do to help improve the health and fitness of people in Sheffield. “I’m passionate about making a difference and always treat every client individually and holistically to get the best possible results. “It’s such a rewarding job and I take great pride in seeing clients regain lost confidence, reach a fitness goal and turn their life around.” Michael, who has previously worked at Sheffield United, is also a consultant to Leicester City Football Club, after being headhunted by former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson. Mi.To Therapy is a leading Sheffield practice specialising in wellbeing, sports massage, physiotherapy and podiatry. Judith Halkerston, National Fitness Awards event director, said: “All the nominees have done really well already beating off stiff competition – it's been a tough task choosing just six as the quality of entries seems to just get better year on year. We believe we have made the right choices though and many congratulations to all the finalists.” This year’s ceremony will take place at the Palace Hotel, in Manchester, on Friday, December 6, hosted by former TV Gladiator and fitness expert Caroline Pearce. For more information call 0114 321 1852 or visit www.mi-to.co.uk.

Assessing the Hand Shape
The Earth Hand The shape of the palm is square and the fingers are short indicating a person who is capable, helpful, reliable and grounded in reality. People with Earth hands are connected with continuity and stability and can be creative, often drawn to things like wood work, pottery, knitting and sewing. Their handshake feels firm and they are security conscious, balanced and steadfast, as well as down to earth. The star sign of Earth hands are Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus.

A busy transport route from the south east of Sheffield into the city centre is to receive a £200,000 cash injection. The Mosborough Key Bus Route into the city centre from the south east of the city is serviced by the 120 bus – one of the busiest routes into the city, carrying around 20 per cent of all bus passenger trips. The Mansfield Road scheme is intended to improve the efficiency of the bus lane and the management of the approach to Manor Top. The proposed scheme will move the peak-hour bus lane from the off-side to the near-side, with a set of peak hour traffic signals to enable buses to move into the correct lane for Hurlfield Road/Manor Top. This is similar to the traffic signals at Western Bank on the approach to Brook Hill roundabout. This will include extending peak time bus lane hours to start at 7.30am and 4pm in line with other parts of the city. The Manor Top area will become a pilot for a new traffic management control system aimed at co-ordinating traffic signals around an area to give selective priority to public transport whilst ensuring other traffic flows freely. Councillor Leigh Bramall, the Council’s Cabinet Member for Business, Skills and Development said: “The Mosborough route is really important in ensuring local people are able to travel easily around the city and enabling them to have ready access to their work places. It’s also a major route into the city centre and, therefore, a vital part of the transport infrastructure that supports the city’s economy.” The work on the scheme is due to begin during the school half-term week at the end of October. It will be funded from the Department of Transport’s Better Buses Area Fund, with work being led by South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive working with the City Council.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE THE PRACTICAL WAY A Power of Attorney (POA) is becoming increasingly well known as a means of helping older people deal with everyday affairs when these decisions start becoming too stressful or time consuming. But many people are unaware that there are two types of Power of Attorney which can be set up: one relates to property and finances while the other allows named individuals to make decisions about the health and welfare of another person. Financial Powers of Attorney and Health and Welfare Powers of Attorney are part and parcel of Wrigleys Solicitors’ service to clients in the Sheffield area. These POAs are registered legal documents which can be a practical and reassuring solution to some of the aspects of ageing. Emma Irons of Wrigleys explains Health and Welfare POAs. “A Health & Welfare Power of Attorney means that while you are well, you are able to set out in a legal document what you want to happen if you are incapacitated and could not communicate your wishes. It helps make sure your wishes are respected, and also helps family and friends who, when that critical time comes, don’t have the additional worry of not knowing what the individual would have wanted.” A Health and Welfare POA could include, for example, the individual’s views about organ donation,
resuscitation, surgery, palliative care at home or in a nursing environment. The people you appoint can only use their powers once the documentation has been inspected and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian, a special government office which deals with the affairs of vulnerable people, and only if you cannot make the relevant decisions yourself. The Office of the Public Guardian is also responsible for inspecting applications for Financial POAs. This type of Power of Attorney nominates others to have the authority to deal with your financial affairs if and when you no longer wish to, or do not have the capacity to do so. The aim is to support those for whom day to day decision-making on finance is becoming problematical, yet at the same time to prevent any financial exploitation. Applications for both types of POA are examined very carefully to ensure that the interests of the individual, and the attorneys are fully protected. It’s important that both the individual and the attorney(s) fully understand the implications of the steps they are taking, and explaining all aspects to their client forms part of Wrigleys’ approach. “The legal document for both types of POA must be properly drawn up, examined by the Office of the Public Guardian, who then, if it is in order, register the document to enable the attorneys to step in when required. We feel that POAs are a practical and sensible arrangement to put in place for the future, whether a client is considering his or her own future, or that of an elderly relative for whom the client could act as attorney.”

WE’LL MEET AGAIN The Mercury held it’s first ever Vera Lynn tribute at the Embassy on Mansfield Road, Intake in Sheffield last Thursday (5th) and what a fabulous event it was. The Embassy was the perfect venue to host the event and looked amazing all kitted out in nostalgic bunting. The afternoon kicked off with lunch from the Perfect Pie shop, who are amazing outside caterers, swiftly serving 120 guests with steaming Meat and potato pie, mushy peas and gravy, topped with Hendersons relish and mint sauce. The first game of bingo caused a few laughs, followed by part one of our entertainment for the day, our good friend Bryan Gee, who got the crowd warmed up with tunes from the likes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. A second game of bingo followed as did a raffle in which we managed to raise £88 for Alzheimer’s Society. Gary Birtles, the vocal comedy act introduced the long awaited award winning Lorrie Brown as Vera Lynn. Lorrie sure knew how to get the crowd going. Every guest had a Union Jack to wave and the room
was buzzing. The Embassy was full of nostalgic charisma and every single guest, including all the staff, were lost in the wonderful world of Vera Lynn. They were singing, swaying, and dancing along to the White Cliffs of Dover, We’ll Meet Again and other wartime classics. The afternoon came to a close at 4pm with a disco for those who had any energy left to dance. The event was so successful, we have managed to secure two more dates with Vera, Thursday 17th October at The Garrison Hotel at Hillsborough, and Tuesday 17th December back at the Embassy. Both events are from 12.00 noon until 4.00pm and so you can be back home before it gets dark, all ready to watch Coronation Street! Tickets are on sale at £14.00 per person, and are excellent value for money. We have a few tickets left for the Hillsborough event, and the December date has just started to sell well. To book your places, please call Mandy on 0114 2763633
CHARITY CALENDAR LAUNCH
Angelina Jolie, Sharon Osbourne, Michelle Heaton are just a few women making the headlines this year with their decision to have preventative mastectomies due to being carriers of a faulty breast cancer gene - BRCA. This has raised the profile of hereditary breast cancer immensely and now 25 other women who had chosen the same option are featuring in our BRCA Babes Calendar. They are highlighting that no matter what your choice, surgery or not, either way you are no less beautiful in this naked yet very tasteful calender!! Every woman in the calendar has a connection with the BRCA gene and have not only bared all to inspire others but have also shared there stories in hope others can gain from their experiences. The BRCA babes calendar is a concept from the National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline (24 hours), founded some 20 years ago by Wendy Watson herself one of the first women in the country to have preventative surgery after discovering 9 out of 12 women in her family had had breast cancer. The BRCA genes had not been discovered at that time but with the help of Wendy and her family, and
research from leading genetists this soon changed!! “There is so much more awareness about hereditary breast cancer nowadays. When I had my operation doctors still needed convincing that breast cancer could be hereditary, let alone given the choice of different options of surgery!” said Wendy Watson. The idea behind the calendar is to not only to dispel the myth that mastectomies are horrendous and make you less of a woman but also to show others with a family history that not only are they not alone, they do have options. The ladies in the calendar are from all regions in the UK; some travelled 7 hours in order to take part in the photo shoot. The majority of the BRCA babes have at some point found comfort and solace from the Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline and therefore not only believed in the idea of the calendar but also felt absolute

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON? THE 5TH AND 6TH EARLS OF ROSEBERY CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington
REMEMBER THE DAYS IN THE OLD SCHOOL YARD? MAGIC AM by Trevor Thomas
Since it’s back to school time once again, I asked on the show the other morning if you could recall what happened on your first ever day in class? Thanks for the calls and texts. There were lots of memories from listeners remembering shedding a tear or two at the gates. Margaret in Woodseats clearly remembers thinking Mum was tricking her and would leave her at the school forever! Also , a lot of people talked about the things we were used to at school that aren’t so commonplace anymore. Remember fountain pens and ink, and chalking on the blackboard? I remember the little milk bottles we tucked into at morning playtime, and was fortunate enough to have an historic old school building in my hometown where I enjoyed my early days in the infants. A lot of people remembered having a sleep in the afternoon after being read a story, which I couldn’t recall. There were even tales of having to swallow cod liver oil capsules. Yuck! Through the ever hazier memories, I remember my own tears when Mum had gone, and nearly choking on the milk when it went down the wrong way. I can also recall somebody playing the age old trick of pulling back my seat when I went to sit down and landing on my backside on the classroom floor. Don’t forget to join me every Saturday morning from now on for lots of fun, games, stories and of course great music from Magic. And I’ll be back with Glenn as well, weekday mornings from 6 to 10am
It used to be the case that sons followed their fathers into working men’s clubs. Upon coming of age, they were often given their 1st club membership as a birthday present. This doesn’t happen very often these days. But it wasn’t only working men who in the past nurtured enthusiasm for clubs in their sons: it appeared to have happened with the 5th and 6th Earls of Rosebery. Born in 1847, the 5th Earl was a prominent supporter of the early club movement and offered backing for WMCIU founder, Reverend Henry Solly. He served as President of the Union in 1875 and was a strong voice for clubs. He took his positive message into Parliament and served as Prime Minister between 1894-95. His son Harry (the 3rd of a long string of first names but the one he was usually known by!) continued this CIU link. He also went on to become a VIP in the club movement. The 6th Earl of Rosebery was born into this wealthy aristocratic family in London’s Mayfair, which housed some of the famous gentlemen’s clubs that provided Solly with a model for WMCs. His privileged background and education were very different to that of his working class counterparts. Cricket was one of his passions and between 190205 he captained Surrey County Cricket Club. He followed his father into politics, being elected in 1906 for what was then called the constituency of Edinburghshire, as a Liberal MP. He was at the time the youngest MP and was in office till 1910. He offered support for the work of the CIU regularly and such a voice was sometimes needed in Parliament. Clubs had their opponents who would press their MPs to pass measures to limit their spread or close them down all together. Just as the 5th Earl had stood up on their behalf, so did Earl no. 6. He once said: ‘Our outward display is certainly small. Our daily expenditure is small but the work we do is great.’ He performed the duty of opening the brand new CIU Headquarters at Highbury Corner in 1962. He lived to the ripe old of 92 and died in 1974, at the peak of club popularity. I doubt that he or his father would be well pleased with all the club closures of late and would have something to say on the matter!

If you have any news, reviews or events you would like featuring please email info@mercurynewspaper.co.uk
live INTERVIEW
Words by KT Evans
Boy bands are a common occurrence within any countries music scene…the UK? Until recently, you would have caught us saying One Direction, The Wanted, Union J and JLS were plenty to occupy the thousands of starry eyed teens…that is until Lawson emerged onto the scene. Forming back in 2009, the five piece based in London have gone onto reach massive chart success along with some serious support slots, however the tables have turned and Lawson are set to embark on their full UK tour…we catch up with lead vocalist Andy Brown. “Usually when I write songs, I draw inspiration from what’s happening around me in my life. My song writing is from the heart so fans know that what they are listening to is a soundtrack to what’s personally going on for me.” This is the very essence of Lawson. Unlike your typical manufactured, stereotypical boy band, Lawson are breaking the mould for what so many male dominated pop rock groups are being coined under. Firstly, they each have the talent and capability to sit down laced within a guitar and write their own material. Secondly, they weren’t scouted out or drawn together to make what we now know as Lawson, and instead heavily toured the UK until they made a name for themselves. And thirdly, their UK tour kicks off on 30th September so enough about this ranting…we need to purchase a new lippy… “We kick off at the Doncaster Dome on 30th (with support from Room 94 and Paighton) so we can’t wait, it’s going to be amazing. This really is the best thing about being in a band and meeting everybody who’s made the effort to come to our shows.” The tour will see Lawson play shows in Leicester, Newcastle, Brighton, London and Manchester closing their headline shows in Belfast on 20th October. “When I’m on tour I miss you friends and family a lot. I miss going out and hitting the town with my mates. The guys have recently got me into Kopperberg, I’ve got to say I think I‘m sold on that one!” Bettering themselves within every musical step they make, Lawson have teamed up with model and presenter Kelly Brook to star in the bands most recent single “Juliet,” coming off their forth coming Delux Album “Chapman Square Repackaged” to be released 13th October. “We’re so excited for the single to be released, everybody can pre order it or get it off itunes. We’ve gone a bit more rocky with this single, a lot more emphasis on the guitars but we’ve had a really good reception.

COURTEENER FLYS SOLO Courteeners front man Liam Fray makes a stop at the Leadmill on Friday 27th September as part of his solo acoustic tour with Manchester’s Bipolar Sunshine has been confirmed as support. Commencing in Liverpool on 19th September, the 8-night tour finishes in Liam’s hometown of Manchester with two shows at The Ritz on 29th September. Courteeners played two sold out hometown shows at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl this summer, which saw them play live to 16,000 people over the two nights. Supports came from Miles Kane, The Strypes and James Skelly & Sheffield’s very own Reverend & the Maker amongst others and Liam Fray followed the second night with a sold out acoustic performance at Manchester Academy 2. The band also just performed a second headline slot on the Radio1 stage at T in the Park to a huge crowd of fans which can be watched online via the BBC website. The Manchester four piece have built up a massive cult following since their debut album St. Jude in 2008 which included their biggest single to date in Indie Anthem ‘Not 19 Forever’. Although the band have had great success with their three albums to date all gaining top ten chart

SLEEPING WITH SIRENS PART 2
INTERVIEW Words by KT Evans
What do you look for when turning to somebody for advice? The comfort in the knowledge that they too have been through the same difficult times as you perhaps, or simply somebody who can spend the time to prop up a chair and lend you an ear. Sleeping With Sirens are the alternative mothering support, both as role models and as a soundtrack to difficult teenage years. But has this image put pressure on the band who, like any group of twenty something year olds all enjoy a good old knees up now and again. “It’s crazy, the kids listen and monitor literally everything that we do. They listen and watch us and that’s how they want to be at school. We do party, you know we do get rowdy but it’s not something we’re trying to portray. We’re not like ‘lets get drunk’ all the time and splashing it all over twitter. I think being role models, it’s a really positive, good thing and we’re lucky to have fans who really look up to us so highly.” But the best advice always comes from your Mum right? “My Mum always says to me – ‘let your light shine.’ I’m sure she’ll call me at some point today and tell me that. I think it means she wants me to be happy and to keep smiling.” And keeping their fans happy is something Sleeping With Sirens do with both ease and effectiveness. Replying to tweets across the world, sending back hand written thank you notes to fans and reading plenty of fan mail may come naturally to the US pack, however starting off as a novice SWS member, Jesse recalls a time when things weren’t quite as… comfortable as what they are currently. “I really think the tours when we started weren’t the best. We played lots of little venues in little cities which is hard to gain new fans if you’re playing to such a small crowd. It makes it really difficult to break out. You get to a point where you think, shall we stick with this or do something totally different? When doing a new record, you always think, is this going to work, how are we going to reach out to new fans? We want to put out what we want to put out but still put something out that the kids can connect with.” Starting up in North Carolina back in 2009, Sleeping With Sirens, like any group sweeping their path of musical exploration, have sure been dealt their equal band of knock back, shaking heads and closed doors. But the one thing that makes anybody successful is the passion to never give up…we’ve all heard the saying ‘winners never quit and quitters never win’ although this couldn’t ring more truthfully to Jesse and co. Each and every member has stuck to their guns, remained faithful to the cause and pushed through to become one of the biggest American groups to emerge out of the post-hardcore scene within the last twelve months. “Going into it, with everything taken into account with being in a band, you need to go into it with confidence, not arrogance or cockiness. We wanted to be the next biggest band, of course this is why everybody is in a band. We were getting covers and growing bigger and bigger. In terms of it being handed to us or not…I’d say it was a shocking natural progression.” positions it is playing live that has seen them achieve great notoriety playing to crowds normally associated with larger acts, including a 16,000 sellout headline gig at the Manchester MEN arena. Although Liam’s set at the Leadmill will see a more stripped back performance than those associated with Courteeners the gig will still be one not to miss for fans of the band and music lovers in general.

LOCAL TALENT SHINES ON THE MIC
Cassi Kennedy from Sheffield has been given the big thumbs up by judges at the Open Mic UK auditions. Along with other impressive acts, Cassi has made it through to the Open Mic UK 2013 Regional Finals and will now be performing in the live showcases of the competition. Open Mic UK 2013 is the biggest music competition in the UK for singers and solo artists, searching for the UK’s best singers, singer/songwriters, rappers and vocalists of all genres who perform either covers or original material. One cotestant who has evidently caught the judge’s eye is local talent Cassi Kennedy, now in the running to compete for a place in the Grand Final within The O2 in London. Thousands of hopefuls entered nationwide and hundreds of auditionees queued patiently on the day for their turn to impress the judges. Those who made it through the audition stage will now take part in the live Regional Final showcases alongside the best talent in their area. They’ll be performing in front of hundreds of audience members and a music industry judging panel to win a place at the 2013 Grand Final. Events Coordinator and Head of Future Music Chris Grayston said “Every year that we hold this competition the bar is raised and the quality gets higher and higher. We’re really looking forward to experiencing the raw talent from across the country. For promising singers, song-writers, rappers and vocalists, Open Mic UK provides a real opportunity to open the door to a music career by showcasing their talent to music industry professionals and audiences across the country” The competition is divided into age categories – Under 16, 16-20 and 21 and over, and all types of singers, vocal performers, groups and acoustic singer/songwriters are invited to enter Open Mic UK. All participants are all aiming to make it to that prestigious Grand Final within The O2 where the spotlight will be on all the acts with a chance for them to be signed.

The latter stages of the competition will also provide acts with the opportunity to impress many guests from record labels, agencies and the entertainment industry, as well as judges from national radio and regional press, with judges being more prestigious in the later rounds. Past judges have included Radio 1 DJs Ras Kwame and Annie Nightingale MBE, four time Ivor Novello award winner Mark Hill and KISS FM’s Charlie Hedges. Open Mic UK is presented by Future Music - the company behind the development of artists such as Warner Music’s Birdy, Jahmene Douglas and Lucy Spraggan, who is now signed to Colombia Records and has a debut album due for release later this year – and with past judging panels including industry specialists and the likes of Radio DJ’s Annie Nightingale and Ras Kwame, Kiss FM’s Charlie Hedges and Ivor Novello Award Winner Mark Hill, Open Mic UK has grown to become a serious contender for sourcing real talent with winners that can be developed organically over time, in the right way for the artist. Previous finalists also include Union J’s Jaymi Hensley and R&B/Pop singer Hatty Keane. For more information go to the website www. openmicuk.co.uk, or better still come down and support your local talent performing! You can purchase tickets from the website www. openmicuk.co.uk or on the door subject to availability or from Cassi Kennedy.
PET BEREAVEMENT
How to cope after saying goodbye
It is never an easy time when a much loved pet dies, whether it is sudden, due to a long term illness or because of old age. Losing a pet can often be very upsetting and many owners will go through a process of grieving. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to cope with this process and it can be a lonely isolating time. The grieving process may consist of many different stages, including disbelief, pain, anger, guilt and acceptance. The first stage is often disbelief and shock. It may be hard to accept that your pet is no longer with you, especially if they have been in your family for many years, and your house may feel very empty and quiet. The next stage is often pain, anger and depression. Things that remind you of your pet, such as their toys and bedding or the sound of a neighbour’s pet’s barking or meowing can be painful to see and hear. Talking to understanding family and friends at this time can be a source of great support. The last stage of the grieving process is

acceptance, when an owner’s thoughts turn to the joy their pet brought them and the companionship they shared. It is often comforting to commemorate the life of a missed pet, so PDSA has set up the National Collection of Pet Memories which allows owners to create a lasting tribute to their pet. Visiting the National Collection of Pet Memories website (www.pdsa.org.uk) allows owners to read the tributes of others who have been in the same situation, which can be a source of comfort and reassurance. Other ways that owners choose to remember their pet include framing a favourite picture of them or planting a tree in the garden. PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Elaine Pendlebury says: “The loss of a companion can be heartbreaking, so make sure you share your feelings with others who understand your loss, and don’t feel embarrassed to show your emotions. If you are struggling to cope with the loss of a pet, there are dedicated pet bereavement counselling services that you can contact, such as the Pet Bereavement Support Service (www.pbss. org.uk). Grief affects different people in different ways, but gradually, over time, the pain and sense of loss will eventually ease.” For more information on pet bereavement please visit www.pdsa.org.uk/bereavement.

angler’s corner
by Clint Walker
My fishing this week wasn’t that successful...... in fact it was disastrous! A one hundred and sixty mile round trip for just four hours fishing in pursuit of zander and other predators at Coombe Abbey in Warwickshire. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an absolutely beautiful place, but with wall to wall weed, a brisk wind and sunny conditions, it was always going to be tough, so the only positive I can find is that I met up with an angler I’ve often corresponded with online....pity about the fish, but a new friendship forged. To make up for it, I went off on an Angler’s Mail filming venture picking up a couple of nearby fisheries for the tactical briefing section of the popular fishing magazine. I always enjoy these visits as I get to see new fisheries and meet some great people who are happy to tell their tales and so it proved at Rycroft and Longford Fisheries in Derbyshire. I’ve seen Rycroft from the A50 as I regularly drive past so dived in for a chat with owner Gordon and then got the camera out. The first anglers I spoke to were two smashing elderly friends using cooked prawn and mussel to take carp into double figures on straight lead tactics who were only too pleased to share a laugh and some banter as I consistently forgot my voice over script as they tried to make me giggle; great fun! I watched for a while and took note....sometimes it really is the simple methods that score..... On to the next pool and one angler in particular was doing well with ‘secret’ baits which had the surrounding piscators scratching their heads as they tried to keep up. What was it? The big secret? A new additive? A test bait? No; it was
LOCAL FOOTBALL, FISHING, HORSE RACING EVERY WEEK SPONSORED BY CHAMPS
four loaves of wholemeal bread toasted and liquidised with a few pellets and a splash of liquid flavour to make a groundbait delivered by feeder rather than a boilie approach often favoured by ‘proper’ carpers. A tiny boilie completed the rig and the fish were falling over themselves to be caught! Another lesson learned......don’t be a sheep..... Up to Longford and yet more anglers to learn from. On the main pool with an extensive stock of double figure carp, two friends were both heaving on hooped rods as scaley beasts tried to escape. Again, keeping a watchful eye as they both released fish before both hooking fish almost simultaneously within minutes, I was very surprised to learn what they were using as bait. I like to fish with biscuits but I’ve never seen them ‘pumped’ with water from a pellet pump to turn them into slow sinking baits which were hit almost every cast by big carp almost the float had time to settle. As before, other carpers observed and no doubt cursed as their alarms remained silent as their bottom baits were untouched.... So; a day with a difficult start turned into something rewarding. I’ve been fishing for over thirty years and I learned from anglers with different ideas who were not afraid to fish ‘outside the box’....makes you think doesn’t it??
racing form by Timelord
It’s a bumper Saturday of Channel 4 racing this week with 10 live races scheduled to be shown, four from Ayr, four from Newbury and two from Newmarket. Ayr hosts its prestigious Western Meeting while Newbury has some Group races on offer on its Dubai Duty Free day and Newmarket has two valuable Sales races. The day’s big handicap race is the (in my view unfathomable) Ayr Gold Cup where the draw can play a big part but seems to me to vary year on year, depending on the ground conditions (currently forecast as soft) and where the pace of the race is. Ayr: 2.05 William Hill – Bet on the Move Doonside Cup, Listed, 3yo+, 1m 2f: Quite a few of these have more than one entry for Saturday so check carefully for where they run on the day. My order of preference from their last time out runs is: Two for Two; Ennistown; Fattsota; Hajras; Sharestan; Elkaayed; and Out of Bounds. 2.40 William Hill Ayr Silver Cup (Handicap), 3yo+, 6f: This is the consolation prize race for those that do not make it into the big race at 3.50. Of the 183 left in at the time of writing only 27 are sure to run so there is a fairly long list of selections in order of preference, drawn from their ratings from their last time out runs: Greek Canyon; Big Johnny D; An Saighdiur; Rasaman; Tajneed; Rene Mathis; Pearl Ice; Hopes N Dreams; Kuanyao; Accession; Thunderball; and Harrison George. The selection here can only run in one race so check on the day whether it runs in this or the Gold Cup later on. 3.15 William Hill – In the App Store Firth of Clyde Stakes, Group 3, 2yo, 6f: This looks extremely open and competitive. There is not much between them on my ratings but my order of preference is: Kanz; Fly to the Moon; Valonia; Mecca’s Angel; City Zen; Remember You; Veiled Intrigue; Azagal; and Threetimesalady.
Lake Ross Caravan Park And Fishery
3.50 William Hill Ayr Gold Cup (Heritage Handicap), 3yo+, 6f: With many of the runners doubly declared for this and the Silver Cup a similar list is presented to the one above. The order of preference this time is: Greek Canyon; Big Johnny D; An Saighdiur; Tiddliwinks; Rasaman; Tajneed; Jack Dexter; Rene Mathis; Pearl Ice; Hopes N Dreams; Angels Will Fall; Kuanyao; Accession; Red Dubawi; Thunderball; Spinatrix; and Harrison George. As mentioned above you will need to check on the day to see which race Greek Canyon runs in.
For more information telephone
Newbury: 1.50 Dubai Duty Free Legacy Cup (Registered as The Arc Trial), Group 3, 3yo+, 1m 3f 5yds: Several of these are also entered for the Ayr 2.05. However my order of preference here is: Fattsota; Hajras; Sharestan; Elkaayed; Camborne; Out of Bounds; Media Hype; Royal Empire; and Grandeur.

2.20 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes, Group 2, 2yo, 6f 8yds: In my estimation Aidan O’Brien’s Wilshire Boulevard would have a live chance if making the journey over from Ireland. Saayerr might be the one to give the selection most trouble, with Hot Streak, Anticipated, Cable Bay, Thunder Strike, Bahamian Heights, Shantou, Figure of Speech, Jallota and Stormy Paradise all being capable of getting competitive based on my figures. 2.55 Dubai Duty Free Handicap, 3yo+, 0-105, 1m 2f 6yds: After an excellent defeat of Sennockian Star at York last time, course and distance winner Sam Sharp gets a relatively confident nod to follow up here. Blue Surf could be the one to provide most opposition based on his sixth place in the Ebor. Others that catch the eye from their most recent runs are: Benzanno; Prince Alzain; Voodoo Prince; and Red Avenger. 3.30 Dubai International Airport World Trophy, Group 3, 3yo+, 5f 34yds: Kingsgate Native’s fifth to Jwala in the Nunthorpe last timeout earns him the vote here. The reserve order is: Tickled Pink; Tiddliwinks; Mirza; Steps; Dutch Masterpiece; Vital Spirit; and Justineo. Newmarket: 2.30 £100,000 Tattersalls Millions Fillies’
Median Auction Stakes, 2yo, 6f: This valuable prize can go to Roger Varian’s Tears of the Sun who recorded an excellent speed figure in my system when third to Zumurudah at Carlisle last time out. Aqlaam Vision comes out second best on my figures followed by Chess Valley, Spirit of Alsace, Two Smart,Oxsana, Johara and Amnesia. 3.05 £100,000 Tattersalls Millions Median Auction Trophy, 2yo, 6f: Aqlaam Vision heads my list of preferences here with the reserve order being: Chess Valley; Jallota; Lanark; Constantine; Shafrah; and Lyn Valley. Selection summary (for reserves see above): Ayr: 2.05 Two for Two 2.40 Greek Canyon 3.15 Kanz 3.50 Greek Canyon Newbury: 1.50 Fattsota 2.20 Wilshire Boulevard 2.55 Sam Sharp 3.30 Kingsgate Native Newmarket: 2.30 Tears of the Sun 3.05 Aqlaam Vision Good Luck!

MACHEDA SIGN ON
Doncaster Rovers have agreed a deal with Manchester United to take 22 year old Italian striker, Federico Macheda, on an initial one month loan with the option to extend it, subject to paperwork. Macheda trained with Rovers on Sunday and Monday ahead of the game against Watford on Tuesday night. He was also a spectator in the crowd at the Huddersfield game last Saturday. Many Rovers fans will get their first look at him next Saturday when he will be in the squad for the Nottingham Forest game at the the Keepmoat Stadium. If you haven’t done so already you can get your tickets to Macheda’s home debut HERE, at the Keepmoat Stadium Ticket Office or via the Ticket Hotline on 01302 762576. Born in Rome, Macheda began his career with Serie A side Lazio but joined Manchester United when he turned 16 in 2007. Macheda signed his first professional contract with Manchester United on his 17th birthday in August 2008. In the 2008–09 season, he continued in the under-18 side, while also making a number of appearances for the reserves. Towards the end of the season, Macheda enjoyed an extended run in the reserve team, scoring eight goals in eight games, including a hat-trick in a 3–3 draw with Newcastle United on 30 March 2009. He was rewarded for this by being selected for the first team for the match against Aston Villa on 5 April 2009. With United 2–1 down heading into the final third of the game, manager Alex Ferguson substituted Nani for Macheda just after the hour mark. Then, after Cristiano Ronaldo equalised for United in the 80th minute, Macheda scored a dramatic winner after turning to evade his marker which he followed up with a curling effort from just inside the penalty area in the third minute of injury time. Macheda spent the next couple of years on the fringe of the United first-team, before twice going out on loan – first to Sampdoria in his native Italy in 2011, and then to Queen’s Park Rangers in 2012, the latter of which was curtailed by injury. Macheda ended last season on loan at German side, Stuttgart,making eleven appearances for the Bundesliga club. Macheda is also an Italian youth international, having made appearances for the national Under-16, Under-17 and teams. He made his Under-21 debut in August 2009 in a friendly against and scored his first goals for the team just over a year later in a match against Turkey.

LOCAL ROUND UP County Senior League At the risk of repeating ourselves, it has been another busy week in the County Senior League, with a number of midweek games taking place, as well as a full weekend programme. This past midweek will be the last one with a full fixture list for a while with the nights beginning to draw in. S&HCFA Senior Cup 1st Round The Senior Cup started this week, in its first week there were three games involving teams from our league, with a mixed outcome. Starting with the good news, Handsworth beat Brodsworth Welfare 5-4 at home. Also on Wednesday night, High Green Villa fell to a 4-0 loss away at Harworth Colliery. On the weekend Wombwell Main, were knockedout 2-1 by Sheeley. Ross Tutill was the scorer for Wombwell. Premier Division Swallownest Miners Welfare maintained their first position this week. They were 2-0 winners over Swinton Athletic on Wednesday night, with goals from Jay Short and Ray Hudson. But it was not an entirely comfortable week for Swallownest, as they dropped their first points of the season on Saturday in a 4-4 home draw with Houghton Main. It was the second time in a week that Houghton Main have scored four goals, as they were 4-0 winners over Athersley Recreation Reserves on Wednesday night. Ashley Vickers starred on the night, scoring twice. Houghton Main are now in fourth place. Oughtibridge WMSC still remain unbeaten following their promotion. Midweek, Benjamin Cook scored twice to help them to an entertaining 3-2 home win over Wombwell Main. The entertainment did not stop there, as they shared the points with Millmoor Juniors on Saturday following a 2-2 draw. Oughtibridge are in second place now, only two points off the lead with six games played. Millmoor are in third after that draw, and goalless draw with Stocksbridge Park Steels Reserves on Thursday night. The final midweek game in the Premier Division was a 2-2 draw Frecheville and Ecclesfield Red Rose. Frecheville have been in unpredictable form this season so far, and lost at the weekend to Swinton Athletic 2-0. Swinton were previously winless, their win takes them off the foot-of-the-table and into 12th position. Handsworth built on their Senior Cup progression, by beating High Green Villa convincingly 30 at Thorncliffe Playing Fields. High Green prop-up the early season table, and are winless after four games. Goals from Ashley Ellis (2) and Lewis Dickinson gave Penistone Church a 3-1 win over Ecclesfield Red Rose at the Civil Service Ground. Everest were back to winning ways on Saturday following three successive defeats. They edged-out Athersley Recreation Reserves 2-1 at Sheerien Park. Division One Division One is proving to be the most unpredictable division, with no team winning more than half their games thus far. Wickersley top the table,
Daniel Nardiello was the Rotherham United hero as his late strike saw his side edge a titanic tussle with ten-man Oldham Athletic. The ex-Barnsley striker gave the home side the lead from the spot before David Mellor saw red as Cristian Montano levelled on the stroke of half-time. Matteo Lanzoni gave the Lancastrians the lead before Lee Frecklington levelled matters with a glancing header. In a grandstand finish, Nardiello struck with a poachers finish to maintain Rotherham’s fantastic start to the season and leave brave Athletic empty-handed. Following their memorable scalp of Sheffield United last week, Steve Evans made two changes to the starting line-up with Icelandic international Kari Arnason returning at the heart of the home backline at the expense of the injured Craig Morgan while hot-shot Nardiello was given his first start of the season as Pablo Mills dropped to the bench. The Millers’ were quick out of the blocks and after Kieran Agard was nudged over by Joseph Mills, from the resultant free-kick, Ben Pringle floated an inswinger which saw Alex Revell glance a smart header which was arrowing to the bottom corner until ex-Miller Mark Oxley parried the ball around the post. At the other end, Pringle tugged down Sidney Schmeltz near the corner flag paving the way for Mills to plant a tantalising cross which bizarrely missed everyone in the six-yard box with Scott Shearer rooted to his line. The home side had a further let-off when Mellor swung a fantastic ball over the top of Claude Davis which fell invitingly for Danny Philliskirk, whose clever first time ball saw Korey Smith advance menacingly into the box but his low drive was smothered by Shearer. Minutes later, Agard rose highest to divert a header into the path of Richard Brindley, who weighed up his options before firing a half-volley from distance which flew high into the visiting stand. With neither side on top, the home side were given the chance to grab a stranglehold on the proceedings on 21 minutes when a long ball forward saw Revell and Nardiello combine to pave the way for Pringle to fire a cross which struck the arms of Lanzoni at point-blank range and referee Clark had no hesitation in pointing to the spot. From the resultant spot-kick, Nardiello kept his nerve to calmly wrongfoot Oxley to find the bottom corner of the goal. Just past the half-hour, Revell hoicked an effort over after Athletic failed to clear an Arnason long-throw before Pringle’s first time cross caused havoc in the visitors’ box and the ball fell invitingly into the path of Nardiello, who beared down on goal but his casual effort was diverted to safety by Oxley. With half-time approaching, Athletic’s cause was not helped when they were reduced to ten men when Frecklington and Mellor challenged and when the ball had gone the visiting midfielder appeared to kick out at the Millers’ maestro and the referee gave him his marching orders. However, the game took a turn for the worst for the home side in a frenetic sixty seconds just shy of the interval. Fine interplay from the home side saw Nardiello play a slide-rule ball into the advancing run of Frecklington, who drilled a low shot which forced Oxley into a superb save to his left. However, as Athletic cleared the ball upfield, the home side were caught short of numbers’ on the counter and Montano skipped past his marker with a minimum of fuss to advance

52 Wellgate, Rotherham S60 2LR after registering back-to-back wins this week. On Wednesday they beat South Kirkby Colliery 2-1 at Millar’s Walk. They followed that on Saturday with a stand-out 3-0 away win over Millmoor Juniors Reserves. Rotherham Town have been in formidable form this week. They pushed aside Davy FC on Wednesday, beating them 14-2 at Davy Sports Club. Both Kingsley Little and Ben Liddle scored hat-tricks, but not to be outdone Richard Williams stole the show with four goals. Williams was on the score-sheet again on Saturday, scoring once as Rotherham sawoff Thorncliffe 3-1 away from home. Rotherham sit in second, a point of the pace. Hallam Reserves have had a good week, with a 3-2 away win over Thorncliffe midweek. They were held to an exciting 3-3 draw by Joker FC on Saturday, a result that pushes them into third place. Silkstone United have an identical record as Hallam Reserves. A Tom Adams goal gave them a 1-0 win over Thorpe Hesley on Wednesday, but in similar fashion they were held to a draw on the weekend, 1-1 with Jubilee Sports. Thorpe Hesley bounced back from their midweek defeat on Saturday, when a Joe Hall brace helped them to a 2-1 win over Sheffield Athletic at Warminster Road. Shaun Hobson scored twice for South Kirkby Colliery on Saturday to inspire them to a comfortable 3-0 win over Sheffield Bankers. Ben Moore was also on target for the hosts.
threateningly to the edge of the box and despite being faced with a narrow angle, the ex-West Ham player fizzed a leftfooted effort which flew into the bottom corner of the goal. Following the restart, the game was turned on its head when Oldham stunned the home faithful by taking the lead on 53 minutes. Following an innocuous foul, Mills floated a hanging cross which saw Adam Rooney rise highest to power a downward header which forced Shearer into a reactive save but Lanzoni was the quickest to react to the loose ball as he nipped infront of Joe Skarz to prod the ball home from close range. The home side were struggling to find their rhythm and after Montano saw yellow for hauling down Agard in full flow, a sweeping counter by the Lancastrians saw Smith get the better of Brindley and after the ex-Chesterfield full-back failed to clear decisively in the next phase of play, Smith dragged a shot harmlessly wide of the target. However, against the run of play, the home side were given the perfect lift just past the hour mark thanks to skipper Frecklington. After Pringle’s initial corner saw Davis crowded out as he looked to head goalwards, from Pringle’s next delivery, Frecklington nipped infront of his marker at the near post to steer a powerful header from point-blank range which flew into the heart of the visitors’ goal. The home side were sniffing blood and Pringle fired an effort from distance which had Oxley nervously scurrying across goal before Nardiello headed wide as he was the first to meet Skarz’s cross. The visitors’ were visibly rattled and Oxley saw yellow for time-wasting before Agard wasted a shooting opportunity when he failed to control Nardiello’s fizzed centre. Moments later, clever footwork around the Athletic box saw Frecklington’s back-heel pave the way for Nardiello to blaze over before Rob Milsom stung the palms of Oxley with a low effort moments later. Despite the home pressure, Athletic almost stung the home side when sub Jonson Clarke-Harris got the better of sub Pablo Mills before giving Montano the chance to curl a delightful effort which forced Shearer into an acrobatic save. With time running out, Rotherham swept upfield and Skarz’s pinpoint cross saw Revell power a bullet header from pointblank range which forced Oxley into a fantastic reflex save. Frecklington then unleashed a fierce effort from distance which looked goalbound but struck a retreating Jonathan Grounds en-route. However, the Millers’ were rewarded for the pressure when they grabbed the winner to send the New York Stadium into ecstasy. Following a period of pressure, both Arnason and Revell planted headers into the box and sub Matt Tubbs ghosted in through a ruck of bodies to power a header which Oxley saved at point-blank range and the ball rolled tantalisingly into the path of Nardiello, who was the quickest to react to sweep the ball into the corner of the net.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2 13-14 WEDNESDAY FRUSTRATED SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk
Wednesday finished frustrated by Yeovil on Saturday as the ten-man visitors took a share of the spoils in S6. The Owls took the lead midway through the first half through Atdhe Nuhiu before the Somerset side went down to ten men when Byron Webster was dismissed for landing a blow on the grounded Nuhiu. The Glovers then levelled matters after the break with an impressive Joe Ralls hit but try as they might, Wednesday failed to find another way through a resolute Yeovil backline. After a bright but incident-free start, the contest sprung into life on ten minutes with chances at either end. For the Owls, loan recruit Jordan Spence, making his home debut, delivered a fine cross from which Nuhiu glanced a firm header on target and Wayne Hennessey diverted well at the far post. Then at the other end moments later, James Hayter escaped down the right side of the penalty area and slid beneath Chris Kirkland but Kamil Zayatte was well placed on the line to clear. Spence repeated the trick with an accurate cross on the 15-minute mark, this time finding the onrushing Michail Antonio only for the midfielder cum striker to head over the crossbar. But Yeovil continued to give as good as they got and Ralls forced Kirkland into a fine diving save from distance. The visitors succumbed, though, on 24 minutes as Wednesday took the lead – and in controversial fashion. The referee’s assistant raised a flag when
Antonio and Nuhiu advanced on goal but the man in the middle waved play on. The flag went down and the Owls took full advantage, with Antonio rolling square for the Austrian striker to notch his maiden goal at Hillsborough. The Glovers almost hit back in an instant as Andy Williams’ header was bound for the top corner before Kirkland intervened with an acrobatic diversion. But the Owls matched everything Yeovil could offer in the first half and almost doubled their lead on 36 minutes when Nuhiu’s planted far post header landed in the side netting. And then Yeovil’s task was made doubly hard with the loss of Webster, who picked up a straight red after tussling with Nuhiu and appearing to land a blow on the towering frontman. Nuhiu went close immediately after the resumption with a well-placed effort that just evaded the upright – before Yeovil struck out of the blue to level on 64 minutes. Ralls jinked his way into a shooting position and pulled the trigger from 15 yards out to beat Kirkland. The Owls poured forward in a bid to seize back the initiative and almost did so on 72 minutes when an Antonio snapshot almost slipped through the fingers of Hennessey, who was relieved to see the ball rebound off the post safely into his grasp. Still Wednesday pressed while the Glovers countered but neither side could make their possession count and the contest finished all square. Owls: Kirkland, Spence, Zayatte, Llera, R Johnson, Prutton (Semedo 75), Coke, Helan (Maghoma 80), Antonio, Palmer (J Johnson 63), Nuhiu
DIG DEEP OWLS SEAL AND STAND JOHNSON DEAL UP TO BE COUNTED SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk
MANAGERʼS VIEW www.swfc.co.uk
Dig deep and stand up to be counted – that is the message from Dave Jones as the Owls continue their hunt for the first win of the new campaign. Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Yeovil extended the Owls’ unbeaten run to four games but the team still await their maiden success. He said: “We have to dig deep and see out games. We have been in front in four of our last five games and we have to make that advantage count. “I don’t know whether there’s a bit of fear out there about playing in front of 20,000 of our supporters because we look a different side away from home. “If that is the case we have to stop it and stop it fast because we have 20odd home games to go. “We played in front of 30,000 for our last home game last season and we were outstanding so something is not quite right. “But no one wants to go out and not play to the best of their ability. It’s not happening for us at home at the moment and we have to address that. “We have to stand up and be counted.” The Owls head to Birmingham next week and the manager has no concerns over his side’s ability to gain a positive result in the Midlands. He added: “When we go away we seem to be more relaxed, we get the ball down and play so I’m sure we will do the same thing at Birmingham.“Whether the pressure gets to one or two at home I don’t know but as I say, we have to sort it.”
The Owls have secured the services of Roger Johnson on a three-month loan deal. The vastly experienced Wolves defender has agreed a contract that will see the 30-year-old stay at Hillsborough until January 2014. Johnson began his career with Wycombe Wanderers where he spent six years after rising through the ranks at Adams Park. Owls boss Dave Jones, then of Cardiff, brought the Ashford-born stopper to the Welsh capital in 2006. In his three years with the Bluebirds, Johnson was twice crowned as Cardiff’s Player of the Year and attracted the attention of numerous top flight clubs, eventually sealing a move to Premier League side Birmingham in 2009 for a fee of £5m. During Johnson’s two years at St Andrews, the defender was a part of the League Cup-winning squad of 2011 after Birmingham overcame Arsenal 2-1 at Wembley in the final. Johnson moved to then Premier League side Wolves in July 2011, where it was announced he would be club captain ahead of their forthcoming top tier campaign. In total, the towering stopper has racked up 478 appearances in his career to date. Jones said: “We are pleased that Roger is here because he is a fantastic talent. “I know the lad well, he did fantastic for me at Cardiff, he is a very good player and we have been given the opportunity to bring him here and we are grateful for that. “He knows what my principles are and what I expect from my players and he’ll know he’ll have to fight for his place. “We have got a very, very good player, he has the stage here to perform and it’s up to him to go out and there take this opportunity.”

BLADES REMAIN WINLESS ON THEIR TRAVELS MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk
The Blades remain without an away league win under David Weir after Saturday’s defeat at Carlisle United. Matty Robson scored the allimportant goal for the home side, who responded positively to their managerial change in midweek. Manager Weir rang the changes for the long haul to take on Carlisle - four in total. Long, Westlake, McGinn and Ironside were recalled, replacing Howard, Coady, Flynn and Porter. Additionally, it did not take long to work out that there was a deviation from the usual formation, which included skipper Doyle anchoring the midfield and Westlake stationed in front of McMahon on the right. The percentage of possession in the opening five minutes must have been around 80-20 in favour of the Blades but the first chance dropped to the home side when a free-kick launched into the box fell at the feet of Noble, who halfvolleyed wide from the edge of the box. Ironside had an effort charged down as United’s competence on the ball continued in the first half, whilst Baxter and McMahon worked a neat corner routine with the aim of trying to open up the Carlisle defence. All eyes were on referee Bond when Long and Miller collided on 19 minutes. The home supporters were vociferous in appealing for a penalty but the man in the middle took his time before awarding the Blades a goal-kick. Half-chances were materialising for United as the first half wore on. Collins headed over a corner from Baxter, who then curled over another effort and a shot from McGinn was deflected wide. Home captain Miller looked Carlisle’s biggest threat in the first half and he proved it twice before the break. He collected his own flick to present a chance for Robson, whose shot was deflected wide, and then the big number nine fired a half-volley at Long in
injury-time. Early in the second half Maguire picked up the game’s first booking, crudely stopping a dangerous run from Robson, who was to play an influential part in the following moments. It was the Carlisle number three’s resulting free-kick which Long had to flick around a post and from the next corner, ROBSON nodded home following a number of ricochets, despite Doyle attempting to hook clear. The 750 Blades fans who made the trip continued their vocal support despite going behind and Weir made a double change just after the hour mark with Taylor and McFadzean replacing Ironside and McGinn. McFadzean’s first contribution was to pick up a booking for a foul on McSweeney. Baxter and Cuvelier linked up to an enable McFadzean to drive the ball across the six-yard box, just evading Westlake, and then the Sheffieldborn substitute also got the better of McSweeney moments later but from his pull-back Doyle shot over Gillespie’s crossbar. For the final 15 minutes Bunn replaced Westlake on the right but time was running out for the Blades, with the final ball, on a number of occasions, preventing the visiting making progress. Archibald-Henville headed wide a free-kick in the final minutes as Carlisle looked to close out the game, whilst the home bench were incensed by the officials’ decision to add five injurytime minutes, in which Cuvelier stung the palms of Gillespie. The last action, though, was Long saving from Amoo and seconds later the referee’s whistle signalled defeat for the Blades.
TAKING BLADES HELP RESPONSIBILITY HONOUR A MANAGERS VIEW www.sufc.co.uk
David Weir is under no illusions that results on the field must improve quickly. Speaking after the loss at Carlisle, the Gaffer pulled no punches about the need for radical improvement. He commented: “This is a fantastic football club, but I know it needs to be a successful one too. There has been a problem here for a number of years in that regard and I have come here to try and make that happen. “I have my ideas and beliefs about how to achieve success, but, like everyone else, I will be judged on results. “The pressure isn’t growing because I put pressure on myself every week to be successful and when we aren’t it is down to me to take responsibility.” Weir admitted a return of four points from seven fixtures isn’t acceptable, adding: “When things don’t go your way you are obviously disappointed and frustrated and we have had that feeling in our stomach too much this season. “We have to be open and frank in this situation. That has always been my way and when you are getting beat regularly it becomes even more important. “I hate the feeling of being a loser and it is something that needs addressing quickly.”

LEGEND SUFC NEWS www.sufc.co.uk
Last week, Blades Historian John Garrett and Vice President Ian Cameron accept an invitation on behalf of Sheffield United to journey to County Donegal to see Blades legend Billy Gillespie honoured in the village of his birth - Kerrykeel. Gillespie was born in RAC Barracks there on 7th August 1891 and made his first steps to legendary status, a short way over the border in Derry with Institute FC. Gillespie then played for the Blades between the years of 1911 and 1932, clocking up 563 games and scoring 161 goals. He was the captain of the last Blades team to lift the FA Cup and was the first Irish captain to pick up the oncefamous Home Nations Championship in 1913. Billy’s granddaughter Jane and great grandson Andrew joined the party that had been organised by the Billy Gillespie committee - a team of ardent football fans all involved with local Club, Kerrykeel 1971, and it came following their contact with United some two years ago, asking for assistance - we were only too delighted to help and put them in contact with the family. All this culminated with the unveiling of a superb granite plaque on the side of their superb new Billy Gillespie pavilion, featuring a list of his clubs and achievements - Sheffield United featuring very prominently, of course. The picture on it is the great man in his beloved red and white stripes. The Blades party was well looked after by, amongst others, Fergus McAteer, John-Joe McAteer and David Moen and great connections have been made.
