CYCLING BOOM GATHERS PACE WITH CIRCUIT PLANNING APPROVAL The recent cycling boom in Doncaster could be set to go up a gear, after the council’s Planning Committee gave approval to a brand new cycling facility near Lakeside. The project, which would see a new cycle circuit built on land close to Doncaster Dome, was given the green light by the committee at the planning meeting last month and now moves a step closer to becoming reality.

The circuit, when built, will deliver an excellent facility for the local community that has embraced cycling wholeheartedly in recent years. It will consist of a brand new, all weather surface that snakes around the existing rear car park of the Dome, giving local clubs and riders of all abilities the chance to use a custom-made surface for events, training and casual use. It is planned that the site

will be managed by Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust. Doncaster Council plans to ﬁnance the scheme by applying for legacy funding from British Cycling – a funding stream designed to support local projects which is set to be made available soon. Following the tremendous success of the Tour de Yorkshire coming through Doncaster in 2016, when over 50,000 people lined the streets of the

REGIONAL EDITION

borough to watch elite cyclists battle it out, cycling has continued to grow in popularity with more and more people joining local clubs, and events like Doncaster Cycle Festival growing every year. Doncaster has been selected as a start or ﬁnish location for the 2018 Tour de Yorkshire, by which time construction on the cycle circuit should be well underway. The proposed circuit

would be unique, as the only cycle circuit in South Yorkshire that will be accessible seven days a week. Cabinet Member for Public Health, Leisure and Culture, Cllr Nigel Ball, said: “Doncaster is becoming a hub for cycling, with people coming from miles around to enjoy our fabulous rural cycling routes, and the fantastic cycling events we host attracting elite riders and spectators from

across the world. “This project will be another step towards Doncaster becoming even more renowned as a cycling hotspot. Once we have secured the funding for the scheme to go ahead, it will help to encourage more and more people to get peddling and enjoy the wide range of beneﬁts this brings.” For more information about cycling in Doncaster, visit www.doncaster. gov.uk/cycling

People in the UK eat more bananas than monkeys. Last year they consumed 82,198,695 bananas and only 4 monkeys! I’ve bought a new sat nav, it’s really good. Yesterday I drove past a Zoo and it said bear left. What do you get if you cross a pelican and a zebra? Two streets further away. What do you call a woman who stands between two goal posts? Annette. There’s a new TV show on tonight about origami. It’s paper view. I found a wallet today, and as a good Christian I thought... ‘What would Jesus do?’ So I turned it into wine. Went swimming earlier, I had a wee in the deep end. Lifeguard blew his whistle so loud I nearly fell in! Therapist: “What would you say to your dad if he were alive today?” “Sorry for cremating you, I honestly thought you were dead.” I’ve developed a taste for fabric conditioner. My doctor says I’m ﬁne, I’ve just been comfort eating. My aunt and uncle have made a fortune selling lamb chops. They’re minted! I opened my electric bill at the same time I opened my water bill. Needless to say, I was shocked!

The next person that asks me for pineapple juice, cranberry juice, lemonade and a slice of orange in the same glass is gonna get a punch.

You can find your mind concentrating on lots of different opportunities, perhaps even sweating your assets just that much more creatively. Even though you’re someone who can carefully analyse how you want to approach opportunities, this week’s influences may see you more risk taking. Call for more...

How people view you, particularly those in positions of influence, becomes somewhat of a central theme now. Part of you can want to be much more assertive, raise your profile and strut your stuff - and why not, but you need to consider how this will be perceived by others. Call for more...

There’s a real sense of you being goal orientated, and there’s a lot you may want to get done. The downside is you could be in such a rush to achieve your goals, it could see you almost push too hard, too quickly and actually go against your best interests in the process. Call for more...

The more adventurous side of your nature can come to the fore, this could see you taking up new, more rugged activities and interests, and also trying to get a better balance between creating time for yourself and dealing with those everyday commitments and responsibilities. Call for more...

Your mind can be very active. If you feel super restless, try to ﬁnd some ways in which you can use this excess nervous energy more productively. This is probably not the best of times to hang out with more gossipy types. Keep your private aﬀairs very much to yourself, Archer. Call for more...

Continue to show other people just how talented and resourceful you can be. There could be one person who is particularly receptive to what you have to say at this time, and the bond between you can actually deepen as the week draws to a close Cancer. Call for more news and astral advice...

There’s a really sociable vibe to this week, but it won’t be until Venus enters your sign as the week winds down, that you’ll start to feel engaged by this to the full. It’s actually possible that some old alliances are fading away, but there is the chance of some bright new beginnings. Call for more...

There continues to be a sensitive skyscape, but it may be in your relationships that this shows up most of all this month. With a Quarter Moon and Mars relocating to your opposite sign there is a sense that if you’re feeling dissatisﬁed you are going to want to do something about it. Call for more...

With Mars storming into your sign early in the week, this will really see you start to pick up energy and increase your desire to make an impact. With the Sun and Mercury set to help you to showcase your talents to a wider audience, new appreciation can come your way. Call for more...

How are you going to cram all your thoughts into a structured plan? This is usually something that you’re very adept at, so with the potential for distractions or spreading yourself too thinly, your best tack is to set out some kind of achievable plan, and stick to it. Call for more advice...

You might find yourself in the mood for some escapism. Whilst you can find yourself keen to change the physical setting of your life, equally, staying close to home and accessing your imagination more can also figure. Someone who was once influential in your world can re-emerge. Call for more...

NHS WARNS OF MAJOR FLU OUTBREAK IN 2017

Flu jab warning: Getting vaccinated could be life-saving! Flu jabs can protect against unpleasant symptoms - which include a temperature, cough and headaches - and even death. A particularly bad flu season has been predicted for this winter, making getting vaccinated even more important. Recently, NHS England warned that GPs and hospitals should expect more cases of flu than usual. The announcement by NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens came as Australia and New Zealand experienced their worst outbreak for several years. Indeed, Australia is said to have had almost double the amount of flu circulating in July and August compared to the average seen over the previous five winters. In the UK, 600 people die every year from complications of flu, such as pneumonia. The common viral infection usually develops within one to three days of a person being infected. It is contagious and can be passed between people through coughing, sneezing or by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Symptoms include a high temperature, tiredness and

weakness, a headache, general aches and pains, and a dry, chesty cough. Flu vaccination is available every year on the NHS to help protect adults and children at risk of flu and its complications. Flu can be more severe in certain people, such as: • anyone aged 65 and over • pregnant women • children and adults with an underlying health condition such as long-term heart or respiratory disease • children and adults with weakened immune systems Anyone in these risk groups is more likely to develop potentially serious complications of flu, so it’s recommended that they have a flu vaccine every year to protect them. The injected flu vaccine is offered free on the NHS annually those most at risk.

LADDER PANEL

DROP-IN DAY HAVE YOU THOUGHT DIGITAL Digital Drop In @ The Crucible Theatre in Tudor Square on the 3rd Thursday ABOUT YOUR FUNERAL? Bar of the month 1pm-3pm.

We are currently looking for volunteers to join the LADDER Panel. The group will help inform how diabetes and endocrine services are delivered and contribute to research project ideas – so your experience, knowledge and understanding of the conditions are invaluable, and could help us improve local services for people living with diabetes or and endocrine condition. Shefﬁeld is a major centre for clinical research in diabetes and endocrinology. We are looking for volunteers who have diabetes or an endocrine condition, or someone who is caring for someone who has, to be part of the LADDER Panel. Purpose of the Panel: • Enable patients and carers perspectives to be included in research proposals • Comment on information given to patients • Identify barriers to patients effective involvement in research • Help improve recruitment to research studies • Help develop lay summaries e.g. for research proposals • Give patients and carers a more authoritative voice • Further build public credibility and trust in clinical research What’s Involved The LADDER Panel meets monthly, but it is entirely up to you how much time you want to give – you don’t have to attend every meeting. All reasonable travel expenses to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital will be reimbursed and refreshments provided. There will be access to relevant training courses as necessary. To ﬁnd out more please contact Sharon Caunt on: 0114 226 5976 or email Sharon.Caunt@sth.nhs.uk

March 31 2018, you do qualify. You can have your NHS ﬂu jab at your GP surgery or a local pharmacy offering the service.

How effective is the flu jab? Flu vaccine is the best protection we have against an unpredictable virus that can cause unpleasant illness in children and severe illness and death among at-risk groups, including older people, pregnant women and those with an underlying medical health condition. Studies have shown that the flu jab will help prevent you getting the flu. It won’t stop all flu viruses and the level of protection may vary, so it’s not a 100% guarantee that you’ll be flu-free, but if you do get flu after vaccination it’s likely to be milder and shorter-lived than it would otherwise have been. There is also evidence to suggest that the flu jab can reduce your risk of having a stroke. 65 and overs and the flu jab Over time, protection from the injected flu You are eligible for the flu vaccine this vaccine gradually decreases and flu strains year (2017-18) if you will be aged 65 and often change. So new flu vaccines are over on March 31 2018 – that is, you were produced each year, which is why people born on or before March 31 1953. So, advised to have the flu jab need it every if you are currently 64 but will be 65 on year too.

Over a third of UK adults have decided what they want for their funeral but haven’t told anyone. But with funerals steering away from the traditional, there’s a lot to talk about. Traditionally, a funeral is seen as a ceremony held in a formal setting, where friends and family of the deceased arrive in dark, formal dress, to pay their respects and say their ﬁnal farewells to a loved one. But a funeral doesn’t have to be this way. Every element can be tailored according to the wishes of the deceased, to reﬂect their personality, interests, hobbies or occupations. Whatever your wishes are, it’s worth making sure your loved ones know about them so they can be carried out when the time comes. You can simply have a talk with the people close to you, or you could look into taking out a Funeral Plan. That way, not only are your wishes written down and all of the decisions made,

Leading first aid charity St John Ambulance is urging everyone to learn some basic first aid skills ahead of the Bonfire Night celebrations. St John Ambulance volunteers will be attending firework events across Greater Manchester so that anyone who needs first aid gets it quickly. However, injuries are much more likely to occur at private parties, where trained volunteers won’t be on hand to help. Every year, around 1,000 people will visit A&E for treatment of a firework-related injury in the four weeks around the 5 November*. But with some basic first aid skills, everyone can be prepared to help in a firework first aid emergency. Simon Dunn, Regional Director at St John Ambulance said: ‘St John Ambulance is keen that people enjoy Bonfire Night but don’t end their celebrations in hospital. Fireworks and bonfires can provide fun and entertainment for families at a time of year when the evenings are rather dark and gloomy. They literally light up the sky. ‘Our volunteers will be on hand to provide expert

first aid assistance at public displays across the region but if you are organising a private event, you need to know what to do if there is a first aid emergency. ‘Our Big First Aid Lesson is a great way for young people to learn too, it will air on 3 November and all teachers or parents need to do is go to www.sja.org. uk/bigfirstaidlesson and sign up, it’s free, interactive and a great way for children, and adults, to learn to basic first aid skills’

Fozzy has always been about a heavy groove and a good time. And when you have two high-energy performers like Rich Ward and Chris Jericho (it’s debatable on who jumps higher onstage) in the band, grooves and good times come easy; but these guys aren’t just entertainers. Ward is one of the most versatile and underrated riffers in rock and metal today, who has created his own style of heavy riffs, melodic choruses and the Duke groove...oh that crushing groove! And Jericho's singing ability and overall passion for music makes one wonder just how he is able to ﬁnd the time to excel in pretty much everything he does. It was these qualities that pushed the band to become one of the hottest up and coming rock acts of the past ﬁve years. After the release of 4 studio albums, each more successful and critically acclaimed than the last, it wasn’t until 2012’s "Sin & Bones" that the band started to hit their stride. Jericho was winding down his involvement with the WWE, the band was touring more, with their live show reputation growing stronger than ever. The entertainment, the fun factor, the showmanship and most importantly, the songs, were all there in full force. After touring all of 2012-13 with Metallica, Shinedown, Avenged Sevenfold and Saxon, the band saw their

FRIDAY 3rd NOVEMBER

fanbase grow and diversify. After their hugest charting (#54 on the Billboard 200) and most successful record, 2014's "Do You Wanna Start A War" and subsequent tour ﬁnished at the end of 2015, the band began focusing on taking their future to a new level creatively and enlisted critically acclaimed song writer Johnny Andrews to produce the new record. With Andrews, Ward and Jericho (the team who created Fozzy's highest charting single "Lights Go Out") at the helm, Fozzy spent 2016 crafting their new masterpiece for a spring 2017 release. "After the huge success of the Do You Wanna Start A War record and the tour that followed that saw us share the stage w such incredible bands as Kiss, Slash & Myles Kennedy, BuckCherry and Theory Of A Deadman, we

decided to take 2016 off to recharge and write songs. But now We’re back with our best album EEEVVVEEERRR and are so excited to destroy stages all across the globe again! There is nothing like playing Fozzy rock n roll to our amazing friends worldwide and watching you guys smile, laugh and have a blast...after all, isn't that what rock n roll is all about? We believe that there's only three things you can count on in life: death, taxes and the fact that if you come to a Fozzy show, you are going to have a great time!! That's the Fozzy money back guarantee..." Chris Jericho. Fozzy + Hardcore Superstar & Support The Corporation Friday 3rd November www.corporation.org.uk

Craig is also joined by X Factor ﬁnalists 5 After Midnight; DJ and producer James Hype, whose single ‘More Than Friends’ featuring Kelli-Leigh was one of the biggest hits of the summer; X Factor winner Matt Terry and singer-songwriter Raye. Last year, over 15,000 fans turned out for the sell-out charity concert with Louisa Johnson, James Arthur, Nathan Sykes and Anne-

Marie wowing the crowds. Richard Pinfold, Centre Marketing Director, said: “We have an incredible line up for this year and I can’t wait to see all these great artists perform live.

The world’s No1 Sinatra celebrates the golden anniversary of his most famous live recording – Sinatra Live at the Sands – with a brand-new production featuring songs from the classic album. It’s the swing, swagger and velvet vocals in concert with Stephen Triffitt: “Nails the phrasing, timing and tone with utter confidence”, Variety, on classics: Fly Me to the Moon; Mack the Knife; New York, New York; My Way; That’s Life; Under My Skin; Lady is a Tramp; My Kind of Town; All the Way and Luck Be a Lady. Backed by the fantastic sound of big band swing, Triffitt is the Chairman of the Board, frankly the best thing since Sinatra himself.

personally, I think he should be congratulated for his efforts. After all, travelling to Hungary or wherever doesn’t come cheap, and then with Clint Walker the hours spent waiting for that fish, perhaps So, this week has seen the records tumble, having to wade through dozens of smaller with the capture of a fantastic 108lb carp specimens, still without guarantee, then well from a lake in Hungary, and ‘Captain Jack’ done sir, you deserve your prize! It’s no at its highest UK weight yet of over 68lb. different to Captain Jack. Yes, I’ll concede Within minutes, instead of congratulations, that the fish has been stocked perhaps with the the social media jungle drums were beating as record in mind, but so what? It still has to be bitter anglers started to complain about ‘wrong caught, and it still has to be at the right weight ‘uns’, and unethical stocking practices, as they to claim it as such…which is no easy task. Big Rig was another similar case before it’s seek to decry what is a superbly impressive untimely demise, but the sheer torrent of abuse result. I’m pretty sure that 99.9% of those bleating about it, wouldn’t mind catching those (including death threats) aimed at the captor were nothing shy of disgusting. Why? What on fish, and would be the first to crow about it earth are my so called brethren thinking? It’s (look at me, sponsorship deal please) if they a fish, it’s there to be caught, and the ONLY did! The issue here, as usual, in most cases, is reason that it is there, is to supply a demand, petty jealousy… a demand created by anglers who do want to I agree that most anglers will never ever catch big fish because that’s what they enjoy! get the chance to fish waters where current The crux of the matter is this; almost every potential records reside; I’m one of them, I’ll angler who seeks to criticise, denounce, or never fish in Hungary, Slovenia or anywhere decry such captures, isn’t affected in any else which holds such leviathans, but I’m not way by them, which is why it’s so crazy! It in the least bit bothered about that. Nor will certainly hasn’t affected my angling, nor will I fish Holme Fen, or any of the multitude of lakes ‘Down South’ that hold much bigger fish, it, and it hasn’t bothered any (reasonably sane) angler I’ve spoken to either! As I’ve said in much greater quantities, than lakes in my patch, and I’m not bothered about that either. I above, most of us will never fish those waters, they will never come near those fish, so why fish for the fish I fish for, and that’s it… Don’t get me wrong, I can understand the ire of those get so bothered? Fishing is many things to many anglers, but at the end of the day, if you that seek to fish for so called English fish, or enjoy it, and no harm comes to your quarry, those that like to fish out of the way places in and your fishing doesn’t affect anyone else, pursuit of heavily scaled strains which look great and fight hard, but some of the stuff I’ve then you’re doing it right; it really is that simple, and I can’t emphasise that enough. seen this week is nothing short of appalling, Ask yourself just why you go fishing? It could and it shouldn’t be happening… be the pursuit of wild quarry, the peace and Let’s be reasonable about these captures; they have been caught, and by ‘caught’, I mean that quiet of your surroundings, it may be for the social craic, or it may just be to ‘switch off’, the angler has had to construct a rig, select and wind down after a heavy week at work. I’ll a suitable bait, and put it in the right place, guarantee that you go to enjoy yourself though, and then hope that the odds favour him, and and that you don’t concern yourself unduly that the Big One comes along. When it does, with whatever is being caught elsewhere whilst you’re on the bank, so why get so irate when you are at home, online, seeking information?

with Michael Clarke

The last day of British Summer Time brought the usual the blustery autumnal weather we are accustomed to, which provided the context for a full league programme in the County Senior League. Premier Division With Premier Division leaders AFC Penistone Church Reserves not in action, Grimethorpe Sports had the chance to go top of the table, if they could get at least a point at Oliver’s Mount against Handsworth Parramore Reserves. They managed just that, as they drew 2-2 o preserve their unbeaten start. Fourth placed South Kirkby Colliery travelled to fifth placed Oughtibridge WMFC with third place in their sights. They were to return home disappointed though, as they suffered a 4-0 defeat at the hands of their hosts. It is the third time in four games that Oughtibridge have scored four goals. In a vital game at the foot of the table, Millmoor Juniors claimed their second win of the season; a 3-2 home win over Denaby Main. The win is enough to lift Millmoor above Denaby and off the bottom of the table. A hat-trick from Jordan Livett helped inspire Jubilee Sports to a 4-2 win over Houghton Main at Chaucer School. Substitute Daniel Barnsley was also on target for Jubilee. Wombwell Main had gone lost back-to-back games without scoring, but they bounced back in style on Saturday afternoon, as goals from Ryan Hallsworth, Daryl Smith (2), Joe Sidebottom and an own goal gave them a 5-3 away win over Swinton Athletic. The mid-table clash between Denaby United and Frecheville at Old Road ended 3-3. Steve Ellor starred for Denaby, with a hat-trick to his name. Division One Goals from Josh Evans (2), Matthew Jacobs and Joseph Moorhouse gave High Green Villa a 4-1 win over Brinsworth Whitehill at St George Park. The win takes High Green into second place in the table. Previously second placed AFC Dronfield fell to a surprise 2-1 home defeat to Stocksbridge Park Development. After a winless first five games, Stocksbridge have now picked up seven points from their last three games. Rob Gorman (2), Sean Ebbs (2), Jamie Harrison and Matt Plant were all on the score-sheet for KIveton Park, as they beat Wickersley 6-2 away from home. Kiveton are the side to watch for entertainment in Division One, having scored and conceded at least two in all but one of their opening six games. Hemsworth Miners Welfare Reserves beat nine man Ecclesfield Red Rose 1915 2-1 at Yorkshire NU Build Stadium. Sheffield Medics fell to a sixth consecutive loss, as they lost 2-1 at home against Silkstone United. Hepworth United made it three wins from four with a 2-0 win over Caribbean Sports at Far Lane. The win takes Hepworth up to mid-table, and they have played a few less games than most in the league. Division Two Swinton Athletic Reserves were the only team in the top three in Division Two to play this weekend, and they took advantage of that fact, as they won 3-0 away against Thurcroft Miners Institute. Swinton are in second place, just two points off the pace, but they have played a game more than the leaders Boynton Sports. Worsbrough Bridge Athletic Development were 8-2 winners at South Kirkby Miners Welfare against South Kirkby Colliery Reserves. Daniel Evans scored three times in a fine performance for Worsbrough. Burngreave FC made it four consecutive away wins, with an excellent second half performance against Caribbean Sports Reserves. It was 2-2 half-time, but Burngreave ran-out comfortable 7-2 winners. Manor Hotel scored three time at home for the second time in a week, as they beat New Bohemians 3-2 at Muglet Lane. Maltby Main Reserves registered their first away win of the season, with a narrow 1-0 victory against Wombwell Main Development. At the Dorothy Hyman Stadium, Working Wonders were held to a 3-3 draw by AFC Dronfield Reserves.

WARNE DISAPPOINTED Millers boss Paul Warne spoke to the press following his side’s 3-1 defeat at home to Gillingham this afternoon. “I think the fans and the players and staff turned up with high expectations that we would come away with some points,” said Warne. “We’ve spent the week explaining to the lads how they play. They’ve got strengths with the way they play, they’ve had some great results. They’ve beaten Charlton and Peterborough, so they’re no mugs. They narrowly lost to Northampton last week. We knew what to expect. “I asked the lads to start the game really well and fast, regrettably we concede the goal early as we did; an individual error with someone not picking his man up, which is a worry. It took a long time for the team to get going and it affected them. There wasn’t enough positivity on the ball today and we didn’t have the spark we’ve had this season. So, my emotion is of huge disappointment.” The visitors stormed into an early lead on just two minutes – repeating the feat in the second half to double their lead less than two minutes into the second half. “What I can think is that a few of the lads were under par but I could name eight or nine of them,” he continued. “Hopefully that’s just one game. We’ve had quite a big debrief today and told some home truths. “I’m disappointed because we could have gone into the FA Cup week to potentially put ourselves

into third. We didn’t pick up any points so it’s disappointing. “We’ll have to reshuffle the pack, freshen it up and get back to the way we played. I’m not expecting to turn up and win every home game. Teams will come here knowing what they’re up against. Credit to Gillingham, I thought they played really well. I felt they frustrated us and our wingers couldn’t have an impact on the game.” Kieffer Moore pulled one back to hand the Millers a lifeline at 2-1 but the dismissal of Joe Mattock for a second bookable offence was soon followed up by a third from Gillingham. “I don’t know how many attempts on goal they had, maybe four, Kieffer’s finish was good. He got his goal but we didn’t have enough after that. We had a few corners. Maybe on another day we get one and go on to win it. Then there’s the sending off and we conceded one from a corner. Three-one maybe flattered them but they played well. “I haven’t watched it back yet, I will watch it back. Joe’s obviously reacted badly. He’s played 300-odd league games so I expect more from him. He’s apologised to the group which is little consolation as I stand here now. “They came here and did a job on us. Today we weren’t good enough to take anything out of the game.” Looking ahead to next week’s trip to Crewe in the FA Cup, Warne added: “I’ll set out to win all the games, obviously, but I’ll freshen up the pack if it seems right. The lads will have to fight for their jerseys and we’ll put out the best team to take on Crewe. “We’ll put it out to the lads this week and we’ll assemble a team to go on an FA Cup run.”

FERGUSON DELIGHTED WITH ATTITUDE Manager Darren Ferguson was delighted with his side’s attitude in Rovers’ 1-0 win over Bury at Gigg Lane in Sky Bet League One. Ferguson’s men had to wait until the 78th minute to opening the scoring through substitute Ben Whiteman, and the manager felt his side really dug in against the Shakers. “It was an important victory for us and it was important we shown a reaction after last week, it has been a very long week and I think we thoroughly

deserved the win,” said Ferguson. “We had to dig it out because as the game went I did not want my players to get frustrated, and Ben Whiteman has produced a moment of quality to win the game. “Against 10 men it was always going to be difficult because the longer the game is level, their fans tend to get going a little bit and it’s not easy, but Ben has produced a bit of quality but we should have scored more.” Jordan Houghton partnered Rodney Kongolo in the heart of the Rovers midfield, and Ferguson felt Houghton’s control of the game gave Kongolo the license to push forward. “Jordan Houghton was outstanding, absolutely outstanding, he controlled the whole middle of the field and the tempo of the game and I thought he and Kongolo worked well together,” added Ferguson. “Jordan holding the ball up gave Kongolo the chance to push on and create something, he certainly has the energy and he’s a little bit tired now but I imagine the lad who was marking him would be even more tired. “Every game that we come into we aim to win, and this was no different. But what I try and concentrate on is the long-term plan of the club and I believe that during my two years here it has come a long way.”

MILLERS SET TO HOST EUROPEAN U17 CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL Rotherham United have been named as one of the venues which will host the UEFA European Under-17 Championship final tournament in May next year. Along with Burton Albion, Chesterfield, Loughborough University, St. George's Park and Walsall, the Millers have been selected to host the annual UEFA tournament. The competition for Europe’s 16 elite nations will be played at venues across the Midlands and South Yorkshire with St. George’s Park at its heart. Ticket News TICKETS | England v Germany U17 23 October 2017 Chesterfield will host the opening game whilst the Millers will stage the final, with fixtures taking place between 4-20 May. Tickets will go on sale in January with the final draw taking place at St. George’s Park in April. The Millers are also hosting the Under 17s international friendly against Germany on Tuesday 14th November at AESSEAL New York Stadium. “We are absolutely thrilled to have been selected, not only as a host venue, but to have also been selected for the final, which is a great honour,” Millers chairman Tony Stewart told www. themillers.co.uk “We have thoroughly enjoyed hosting the Three Lions since we made the move to the AESSEAL New York Stadium, and now to have a major championship final here in Rotherham is fantastic news, not just for the club, but the town as a whole. “These fixtures have always been well received by the Rotherham public, and I am sure we will again see huge interest in what we expect will be a highly competitive competition.” Wayne Rooney, Eden Hazard, Paul Pogba and Mario Götze are some of the famous names to have appeared at this level in the past with the competition acting as the perfect platform for young players to showcase their talents. England

WHITEMAN WANTS MOMENTUM Midﬁelder Ben Whiteman was delighted to get the winner, as Rovers bounced back from defeat with a 1-0 win away at Bury in Sky Bet League One. Whiteman stepped off the bench to score the deciding goal in the 77th minute, and ensured that Rovers would come away from the Energy Check Stadium with all three points. “I thought the boys were the dominant team throughout, the red card just before half-time changed the game really, but I’m delighted to pop up with the winner,” Whiteman said. “It was starting to feel like one of those games again, and it’s never nice being dropped, but the ball

who won the European Under-17 title in 2010 and 2014, and also finished runners- up to Spain in 2017, qualified automatically for the tournament as hosts. UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin said: “The European Under-17 Championship gives football fans an early opportunity to watch talented young footballers as they start out on what they hope will be successful careers in the game. “The competition also provides the youngsters with an ideal chance to perform on an international football stage. “I am very happy that the finals are being staged in England. The Football Association are experienced hosts of major football events, and we are all looking forward to an exciting and entertaining tournament.” England U17s head coach Steve Cooper added: “We are very proud to be hosting the men’s European Under-17 finals next summer. “St. George's Park will be at the heart of training and matches and all six venues will give the players an opportunity to perform at different stadiums. “Rotherham and Walsall have hosted a number of England development and women's team fixtures in the past while Burton Albion and Chesterfield are fantastic venues. “Loughborough University is a world-renowned sports and educational establishment. “The tournament gives the towns and regions an opportunity to see the best young talent from across the continent and we are very much looking forward to the challenge.”

has fallen for me and I’ve scored so I’m more than happy to get the winner. “It’s not a nice place to come with the weather and the pitch wasn’t the best because it slowed up our play, but we’ve shown grit and determination and all the lads are buzzing with the win and coming away with the three points.” Rovers now face two cup games in a week, facing Scunthorpe in the final Checkatrade Trophy group game, before a trip to National League side Ebbsfleet United in the FA Cup, and Whiteman is keen to make sure that Rovers maintain their momentum before a return to league action. “We need that consistency and the manager has said the same in the dressing room, and that’s three wins from five now which doesn’t look too bad,” said Whiteman. “Hopefully, with the cup games coming up, we can keep this momentum going and get a little run going and we can go in to the Rotherham game full of confidence and look to climb up the table. “Anyone can beat anyone in this league and we need to come to places like this and grind out results, last week wasn’t us and we know we let the football club down, but we’ve come here today and bounced back.”

BLADES GO TOP AFTER LEEDS WIN Yet another Yorkshire derby victory lifted the Blades to top of the Sky Bet Championship table on Friday evening. David Brooks, with his ﬁrst senior goal, won the encounter at Leeds United after skipper Billy Sharp had netted an early header. Manager Wilder kept faith with the starting XI and substitutes that recorded a home victory over Reading last time out and the rewards were almost instant. Less than two minutes had elapsed when United attacked from a throw in on the right and from Duffy’s cross, SHARP peeled off his marker at the back post to head home. The early action, expectedly, was frantic with both sides hoping to exert their dominance. The Coutts/Fleck/Duffy triangle was heavily involved and the latter

began a break on 10 minutes that saw Clarke get across his marker but divert the ball wide from six yards. Leeds could only muster a couple of lofts into the box in the opening 20 minutes, whilst the Blades went close again when Duffy robbed Ayling but Baldock’s effort was straight at goalkeeper Lonergan. On 26 minutes, the Blades had another good chance to extend the lead. Clarke, free on the left, delivered a low centre and Sharp again beat his marker but this time Lonergan tipped over. Leeds were clearly second best in the ﬁrst half hour but got themselves back in the game with their ﬁrst effort on target. Another loft into the box saw Carter-Vickers head clear as far as the edge of the box, where

HALLAM JOINS SOUTHPORT

Jordan Hallam will further his footballing development by spending a month on-loan at Southport, now managed by Kevin Davies. The 19-year-old, who has been a proliﬁc scorer for both the U18s and U23s in recent seasons moves to The Merseyrail Community Stadium with immediate effect. Hallam made his

ﬁrst-team debut at Grimsby Town in the Checkatrade Trophy last season and will now be looking for regular action during his time with The Sandgrounders, who are currently in 16th place in the Vanarama National League North. The striker could make his debut at AFC Telford on Saturday.

PHILLIPS was waiting to smash home an impressive volley. It gave the home side impetus and they pressured the Blades for a spell but the last chance was another good opportunity for the visitors. From a quick Fleck free-kick, Sharp found himself in space but Lonergan was quickly off his line to block and smother the rebound. An energetic start to the second half saw a lot of effort exerted but little in terms of chances until, on 57 minutes, a Saiz shot from outside the box cannoned off the left-hand post and strike Blackman on the rebound. Goalscorer Phillips ﬂuffed a free-kick and was fortunate not to see red for a rash challenge on Baldock soon after as the tempo remained high. The

Blades won a number of corners and from a deep Duffy delivery, Clarke connected at the back post but Lonergan saved. A Leeds break saw Alioski’s header from Saiz’s cross saved by Blackman, whilst the home side almost gifted the Blades a chance but Jansson saved Vieira’s blushes following a careless back-pass. Brooks replaced Sharp for the ﬁnal 15 minutes

up bookings - but the Blades fans were in ﬁne voice as the men in red and white controlled the closing stages. Five minutes of added time was announced but the only threat was the weakest of weak headers from Grot and a misplaced cross from Hernandez, which Blackman, on his 24th birthday, comfortably collected, along with three valuable points.

TOP ON MERIT, SAYS DUFFY

Mark Duffy believes the Blades are top of the Championship on merit. Speaking after Friday’s success at Leeds, the experienced performing who claimed an assist for both goals remarked: “We shouldn’t fear anybody because the team we’ve assembled, I rate really highly. “We’ve perhaps got some players who have underachieved previously though their careers, but nobody is now. “Couttsy is a fantastic central midﬁelder and to think he has spent a lot of his career on the rightwing, the likes of Flecky, Jack and Clarkey, the list goes on and on. “Billy will always score goals and the quality

in the team is endless, everyone deserves a mention really.” And Duffy says the high standards that are demanded in the dressingroom begin at the top. He added: “The Gaffer,

LAFFERTY CALLED UP FOR WORLD CUP PLAY OFF Daniel Lafferty has been included in the Northern Ireland squad for their forthcoming World Cup play-off tie against Switzerland. Lafferty has been named in Michael O’Neill’s 27-man squad for the two-legged clash against the Swiss with the winner qualifying for the 2020 World Cup in Russia. The ﬁrst-leg will be played at Windsor Park on Thursday 9th November, with the second-leg in Basel three days later.

- an inspired move. Lonergan saved from Clarke on 81 minutes but he could do little to prevent the Blades retaking the lead a minute later. Duffy broke through the middle and slid a perfect pass for BROOKS to place beyond the home goalkeeper for his ﬁrst senior Blades goal. Late on the game became a little feisty - both sides picking

Knilly and all the backroom staff set the standards, they drive it from the top and make sure we’re at it throughout the week, every week. “We had an off day in training the other day

and the Gaffer just stopped it and told us he wouldn’t accept it. “We know if you want to play you’ve got to perform every single day and we train exactly how we play.”

The experienced wing-back will link up with his international team-mates following United’s clash against Hull City at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

EFFICIENCY IS THE DIFFERENCE WE The key to the Owls climbing back up the table is the efﬁciency in the ﬁnal third, says Carlos Carvalhal. Wednesday posted a 1-1 draw with Barnsley at Hillsborough in Saturday’s early kickoff but on another day

would have been out of sight following Adam Reach’s opening goal. The Owls created a raft of chances but failed to take advantage and Barnsley levelled through Harvey Barnes. Carvalhal said: “The highlights of the game

will be the story of the game. “We were very good in the first half and created a lot of chances but the difference is the efficiency. “We make the chances, we must improve the efficiency and then we

will win the game. “In the ﬁrst half, the performance level was similar to when we beat Leeds a few weeks ago. “The difference was making the chances to goals.” He added: “We now have a quick chance to get back on the pitch against Millwall on Tuesday and we must improve the efﬁciency. “I think we had around nine or ten chances to Barnsley’s three but they scored one goal and we scored one goal. “If I was the opponent of this game I would say I was lucky to get a point so this is an issue we have to solve.”

HAVE TO EARN THE RIGHT Owls defender Tom Lees says the players need to earn the right to win following the frustrating 1-1 draw with Barnsley at Hillsborough. Adam Reach put the Owls ahead in a dominant ﬁrst half for Wednesday, but the home side were pegged back when Harvey Barnes scored a 25yard screamer to level for the Tykes. Lees said: “Today we put in a better performance and we had chances but we probably should have created more clear cut chances. “Then we got punished, but no one has a right to win, we’ve got to earn the right to win

games. “We need to get on a run and we need to start climbing the table. “It’s up to the players, we’ve put ourselves in this situation and we’ve got to get ourselves out of it. “We’ve got to keep believing in ourselves to play to the levels that we know we can. “If you put in the performances you get the rewards.” The centre half said the players will swiftly focus on a return to Hillsborough against Millwall on Tuesday and that they need to believe in their quality. “I’ve read somewhere that we haven’t got any leaders, that’s not true. “The way you get out of it is strong characters, belief and when you’re under pressure and scrutiny you’ve got to stand up and play. “The positive we take out of it is that we played well, we had chances, and we have to take that positivity into Tuesday against Millwall.”
