DONCASTER BORN TV STAR ARRIVES AT CAST IN DONCASTER FOR ICONIC PLAY Henry James’ iconic, genre deﬁning, ghost story Turn of the Screw is coming to Doncaster Cast for one week only from 30 April. TV favourite and Doncaster born Janet Dibley leads the cast in the role of The Governess alongside Maggie McCarthy as Mrs Grose. Janet says of her role – ‘As an actor I get my inspiration

from people I meet. Their lives and stories. Playing a role like the Governess I hold those real stories in my head. As a character the Governess is Joan of Arc. She’s Hamlet in a long skirt. She’s Jane Eyre on amphetamine. She’s your worst nightmare.’ ‘It’s a responsibility to be part of such a classic piece. There are standards that you

can’t skimp on. I knew very well that this was a very different style for me. The heightened language and the poetry needs total commitment. I pushed myself hard and I’ve found it’s delivered everything I’d hoped - it’s very powerful’ The fresh, thrilling adaptation of Turn of The Screw from Tim Luscombe deftly

retains the ambiguity of James’ original, and lets you draw your own conclusions about the events at Bly and where guilt resides. With a deliciously atmospheric set and lighting design and an evocative soundtrack, audiences can prepare for a provocative, moving and above all terrifying evening. Janet says - ‘Henry James’s story has a

strong psychological impact that shocks and amazes us. What our director Daniel Buckroyd calls ‘nerve janglingly satisfying’. It turns our preconceptions inside out. A young woman whose job it is to look after innocent children - but Is she protecting them or are they in danger? Through using the mother ﬁgure. It faces our hidden fears and allows us to follow the journey from a safe distance to its

WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/THEMERCURYNEWSPAPER satisfying conclusion. But with Henry James’s there are no neat answers.’ Speaking about her return to Doncaster Janet says ‘I was born at home in Tickhill Road, Doncaster in 1958. My parents had recently moved there with my two sisters and brother from Farnham in Surrey. This move to Doncaster shaped my life as it made me

‘different.’ In a family of four you ﬁght for your space. You need to stand out to make your mark. My brother was the eldest and the only boy. My eldest sister was the pretty one, my next sister the clever one. Me? I was the Yorkshire one! I was very happy with that. I was the only Yorkshire born member of the family, and that gave me a uniqueness which I

was ridiculously proud of.’ ‘I don’t remember too much about where I was born. But I’m delighted to be returning for Turn of The Screw. Doncaster means something to me - it made me stand out - and it’s very much part of me!’ You can book your tickets for Turn of The Screw at www. castindoncaster.com

My son just accused me of lying. I wouldn’t mind but I don’t even have any children. My so asked: “Do you want to hear a really good Batman impression?” I said: “Go on then.” He shouted: “NOT THE KRYPTONITE!!” I said: “That’s superman.” He replied: “Thanks dad, I’ve really been practising a lot.” People always told my dad his pride would be the death of him. And sure enough he was eaten by his favourite lion last Friday. Job interviewer: “At the start you’ll be earning £20,000; later that will increase to £40,000. Me: “OK, I’ll come later then.” When I become a superhero I’m going to be called “ironic”. So when there’s trouble and I’m running away they’ll shout: “Isn’t that ironic?”

Caged Steel are bringing a night of incredible combat sports action to Sheffield’s Fly DSA Arena on 13th July, 2019. Tickets, priced £46.75 (including fees) are on sale now at www.flydsaarena.co.uk or by phone on 0114 256 5656. The Doncaster-based outfit has built a reputation as one of the UK’s leading mixed martial arts promotions with 22 action-packed live events since their inception in 2011, and now they are set to host their biggest show to date at the iconic South Yorkshire venue. Caged Steel 23 will be an evening of worldclass mixed martial arts with some of the UK and Europe’s leading fighters taking to the cage in thrilling match-ups, and promoter Dominic Gibbs is eager to unleash their brand of martial arts entertainment to a new, bigger audience. “Bringing Caged Steel to Sheffield and to the arena is a dream of mine,” says Gibbs. “The ‘Steel City' and Caged Steel are made for each other. I look forward to showcasing an amazing event in front of a big crowd in a superb venue." The main event is a huge welterweight battle between five-time UFC veteran John “The One” Maguire (26-12) and Sheffield’s own

Sam “The Snake” Boult (11-4). Maguire has forged his name around the world and is one of the greatest welterweights in UK MMA history. However, Sheffield is Boult’s home turf, and the rising star knows that a victory over “The One” could raise his stock immensely. The supporting undercard will feature a mammoth bill of professional and amateur mixed martial arts, as well as exciting stand-up action in the boxing and kickboxing ranks. Athletes from around Europe will take part in this martial arts extravaganza, including fighters from the UK, Poland, Spain, Iceland, Latvia, Moldova, and more. Viral knockout sensations Jamie Faulding and Louis Lee Scott will feature on the spectacular professional card, alongside The Ultimate Fighter veteran James Bateman, and a host of other Caged Steel favourite such as Piotr Chmielecki, Madars Fleminas, Marcin Prostko and Adam Bramhald. There will be seven prestigious Caged Steel titles on the line too, with 14 hungry challengers all vying for the championship gold on the biggest platform of their careers. Yorkshire’s number-one mixed martial arts promotion have become a standout name thanks to the packed out shows and incredible atmosphere in their spiritual home at the Doncaster Dome, and now they are branching out to share that memorable experience to the passionate fans of Sheffield. It will be a groundbreaking night of action in the Steel City, with a showcase of top talent igniting Yorkshire’s loudest and proudest combat sports enthusiasts. The best way to truly experience it is to be there live and witness every punch, kick, slam and submission from inside the Fly DSA Arena.

celebrating leonardo

Leonardo da Vinci was arguably the greatest artist that ever lived. This spring, 12 of his most extraordinary drawings will go on display in Sheffield as part of a major nationwide exhibition marking the 500th anniversary of his death. With much of his life’s work unrealised or destroyed, many of Leonardo’s greatest achievements are represented through his drawings. An unprecedented national event, Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing will see works from the Royal Collection illustrate the great Renaissance master’s unparalleled gift as an artist, draftsman and scientist. Amongst the works on display in Sheffield is The head of St Philip (c.1495), a study for one of the world’s most famous paintings, the Last Supper. The exhibition will also feature examples of Leonardo’s celebrated anatomical drawings, his observations of the movement of water, and more. Visitors will have the chance to try some of Leonardo’s techniques themselves in a range of hands-on drawing activities for the whole family. Our programme of Inspired by Leonardo talks, workshops and events will be listed in the events section of our website soon.

YORKS research projects Researchers, led by Professor Matthew Hatton at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Professor Jim Wild and Dr Bilal Tahir at the University of Sheffield, will use the city’s worldleading magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) centre to produce revolutionary pictures of cancer patients’ lungs before they begin treatment. 75% of lung cancer patients have other lung diseases that mean they are at a higher risk of complications following curative surgery1. Current lung function tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of air flow and gas exchange. However, the results are less accurate than the data provided by MRI scans. The more advanced MRI images will be analysed to determine how well the patients’ lungs work and how likely they are to recover well from surgery. Professor Hatton said: “Surgery is the standard first-line treatment for early stage lung cancer patients, but a significant number of people have other pre-existing conditions that increases their risk of serious, harmful effects. An intensive course of high-dose radiotherapy then becomes the preferred treatment option. “Reaching the correct treatment decision is a complex process that requires comprehensive and accurate assessment of lung function. Getting this choice right will improve survival and quality of life for those undergoing treatment.” The study, funded by a £350,000 investment from Yorkshire Cancer Research, will involve 40 lung cancer patients recruited from South Yorkshire. If successful, the trial could lead to a new MRI imaging referral service being rolled out across Yorkshire or the UK. Yorkshire Cancer Research has also announced a £620,000 investment in a

study led by Anna Roberts and Dr Abi Fisher at University College London. Breast, prostate and bowel cancer patients from South Yorkshire will be recruited to take part in the project, which will test whether a physical activity mobile app can be used to help patients living in the region. If the app can be introduced into treatment plans effectively, the team will explore whether it increases physical activity, improves quality of life and reduces cancer-related side effects. Physical activity may improve the chance of survival in cancer patients and reduce the risk of the cancer returning2. People living with and after cancer also experience less fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances, and report a higher health-related quality of life3,4. In South Yorkshire, cancer incidence and mortality rates are higher than the national average5. Many people are also physically inactive. About 31% of adults in Rotherham and 24% of adults in Sheffield complete less than 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise a week, compared to the England average of 22.2%6. Ms Roberts said: “Research shows that people living with or after cancer can find it challenging to maintain or increase physical activity during and after treatment and it can be difficult to access local, appropriate support services. “People affected by cancer who take part in physical activity are more likely to live longer, less likely to get cancer again and experience fewer side effects from treatment. There is a huge need for evidence-based resources that are accessible, low cost and can be rolled out quickly to large numbers of people.” Dr Kathryn Scott, Chief Executive at

Yorkshire Cancer Research, said: “We want to ensure that people with cancer in Yorkshire have the best possible experience, from the point of diagnosis onwards. “This means improving their opportunity to be diagnosed at the earliest possible stage; ensuring they receive the best treatment for their cancer and providing innovative support programmes so they can be prepared for and recover well from treatment. “It also means increasing access to cutting-edge treatments and ensuring Yorkshire remains at the forefront of world-class research. This is only possible thanks to the support of Yorkshire people which allows us to invest in innovative projects to help cancer patients in our communities.”

TRAMLINES FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2019 COMEDY LINEUP Tramlines, one of the UK’s most popular city-based festivals, has announced the comedy lineup for its 2019 event. Appearing in Hillsborough Park, Shefﬁeld are comedy heavyweights, Phil Jupitus and Reginald D Hunter, plus Shappi Khorsandi, Andre Vincent, Alistair Barrie, Daniel Muggleton and Thomas Green. This side-splitting bill marks the second year of comedy programming at Tramlines and its biggest yet, as part of its perfectly curated mix of music, art, and comedy. This latest announcement also unveils another injection of breaking music talent to the lineup, including Yonaka, Georgia, Skinny Living, Otherkin and Cassia. The 11th edition of Tramlines (19th – 21st July) will see headline performances from Two Door Cinema Club, Courteeners, Nile Rogers & CHIC, killer lineups across four-stages including Johnny Marr, Lewis Capaldi, Manic Street Preachers, Annie Mac, Tom Grennan, Rag N Bone Man and Doves; an outdoor cinema, family friendly area, and handpicked food and craft ales. Weekend tickets are in very limited supply with 95% already sold. Tier ﬁve weekend tickets are still on sale but unlikely for long, priced at an unbeatable £75.50 plus book-

ing fee making Tramlines one of the UK’s most affordable festivals. To buy visit www.tramlines.org.uk. The introduction of comedy at Tramlines, hosted by Sheffield institution, the Leadmill, was a hit in 2018. Crowds gathered for outrageous and risqué content from leading comics including Henning Wehn, John Shuttleworth, Bethany Black, Tom Stade, Tom Wrigglesworth, Jarred Christmas and more. With the precedent now firmly set, Tramlines and the Leadmill have cooked up another corker of a lineup for the 2019 return. Topping the bill on Saturday night is the American expat who Brits now call one of their own, Reginald D Hunter. The Georgia-born comic is currently celebrating 20 years as a comedian living and performing in the UK with a huge 40-date national tour where in his southern drawl, he’ll have audiences keeling over with his distinctive take on race, sexuality and politics. Most will recognise his face from TV appearances on Have I Got News For You and the widely popular BBC2 series documenting the growth of American popular song, Reginald D Hunter’s Songs Of The South and its equally successful follow up, Songs Of The Border. Headlining on Sunday is stand-up comedian, actor and performance poet, Phil Jupitus. The former team captain of 19 years on BBC Two’s popular music quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks, has a career-long connection with the music industry. From touring universities supporting bands such as Billy Bragg, the Style Council and The Housemartins, directing the Brit Awards-nominated music video for Bragg's ‘Sexuality’ in 1991, to DJing numerous times at Glastonbury, Jupitus is the perfect fit for Tramlines. The remaining lineup features a mix of in-demand and conquering comedians. These include the situation comic and all-round entertainer, Andre Vincent, whose 30-year career cites writing credits for Channel 4’s The 11 O’clock Show and co-creating The Late Edition, as hosted by Marcus Brigstocke. He’s joined by fellow Brit Alistair Barrie, a regular at London’s world-famous Comedy Store and a core member of their weekly topical ‘Cutting Edge’ team.

Tramlines Festival is also announcing another batch of new talent for the 2019 lineup, which spans genres from disco to rock and pop, from the internationally acclaimed to the hottest breaking bands. The latest additions include; Brighton four-piece, Yonaka, and post-grime pop singer, Georgia, both who’ve received high accolades from The Guardian as ‘One To Watch’; West Yorkshire’s Skinny Living who have supported Jake Bugg; Irish rock band, Otherkin, and indie band Cassia whose talents were afﬁrmed with a Radio 1 BBC Introducing Track of the Week for their 2017 single, ‘100 Times Over’. Whilst the Tramlines line up gets bigger each year, it remains seriously good value for money. Weekend tickets have sold quicker than ever and are now on ﬁfth tier and priced from £75.50 plus booking fee for all three days. VIP upgrade tickets are available for an additional £50 granting access to the private VIP area situated right next to the main stage with private bars, food stalls and toilets. Under 12s go for free. For full ticketing info including monthly payment plans, visit www.tramlines.org.uk.

ANGLER’S CORNER

with Clint Walker

If you read this column regularly, you may recall that I recently visited a ‘new’ water on one of my club cards, a delightful little pool within the extensive portfolio of Stoke-on-Trent Angling Society known as Challinor’s Pool. Previously, I enjoyed a day session, opting to fish The Method on both rods, casting tight to the main island feature, a tactic which resulted in the capture of a single carp; this time I wanted to try something different, so grabbed my centrepin reel, a float rod and a pint of maggots, and sallied forth once more… Having already stated that the pool was perhaps three acres in size, I’ve reconsidered and have revised that to perhaps half that, but there is still enough room for anglers to fish together comfortably. I was keen to fish a particular corner peg, as I’d noted that the carp definitely followed the sun around the pool, so I would have had the opportunity to prime my swim long in advance of the arrival of my targets… It wasn’t to be; that corner is obviously a favourite spot of the bivvy angler, and when I got there, two green domes were already erected by overnight anglers. There was one other angler on site and after a very brief chat to find out where his lines were and whether he had caught, I chose a peg about thirty yards further up the bank and set out my stall. It was a gloriously sunny day already, the temperature climbing rapidly and a clear sky heralding the approach of a scorching day… not ideal for the bream I hoped to catch which are rumoured to take the scales as far as ten pounds. The method feeder was quickly set up, loaded with Spotted Fin pellets and cast out to the island once more, where I expected to leave it without much action after the previous deployment. My other

rod, a waggler rod, was also pieced together, my favourite float slipped onto the mainline (we all have a favourite don’t we?) and I quickly plumbed the depth to find out exactly what I had on front of me. Ten minutes with the lead revealed a slight depression to my left, and a shelf to my immediate front as the depth increased into open water. Perfect, two areas to target… I love fishing with the ‘pin and will do so at every opportunity if possible, so fishing just over a rod length out in about three feet of water was perfect. The club have recently bolstered the stock levels after acquiring the new water, so a pair of maggots was nicked onto the hook to see what swam by. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s an ‘unknown’ venue to many, and a pair of maggots will generally pick off anything that swims, so I was looking forward to finding out what took the float under! A pinch of maggots went out around the float, it settled nicely, so I poured the first brew of the day… I was keen not to put too much bait into the swim, preferring instead to build steadily as I gauged what mood the fish were in, but for the first twenty minutes had no bites, so added a couple of walnut sized balls of the new Spotted Fin Sweet Fishmeal groundbait to see if I could kickstart things which seemed to work fairly quickly. My float dipped and a small perch was the first fish of the day. I intended to fish with only maggot, worm or corn on the hook, and steadily swapped between the three to see which worked best. Maggots tended to pick off roach and tiny rudd as they fell slowly through the water, corn saw a better stamp of roach, but it was on worm where the fun really started. An inch long section of redworm proved too attractive to a string of tench up to about three pounds which seemed to be fighting to get there first! Throughout the day, I built a steady tally of tincas, interrupted by odd crucian carp, more roach, rudd and perch, and was having a very enjoyable session. I had to tinker with my shotting pattern as bites could be very delicate, a rise of a couple of millimetres often indicating the beginnings of interest, so I slid a no.8 further down to provide a ‘tell-tale’ which saw me

hit far more bites. Three hours in and I’d also had a couple of small carp on the method feeder, so was having fun in the sun when my float slid away, and I struck into something far more substantial. It came off within seconds, my favourite float released under tension to fly upwards into the tree above where it became tangled around a branch! I managed to reach the obstruction and gingerly pulled it downwards to try and retrieve the rig which I did within a minute or two, but to my dismay my much loved Drennan float was now in two pieces! I’d had that float for years! I suspected a carp had picked up the bait, so quickly tackled up again and continued fishing to see what else happened. To my left, the other angler had moved, and to my right, two other anglers hadn’t had a single fish between them; meanwhile, my tally continued to rise… I’d fished well, carefully baiting to avoid over feeding or spooking the hordes of fish which appeared to be in my swim, and throughout the day, the float barely stayed still. As I considered packing up, another bite saw me attached to solid resistance, and a bream weighed at 6lb 9oz was quickly banked. It wasn’t the ten pounder, but it was definitely a start! My method rod had tripped up a trio of carp, all small, which was encouraging, but as it was the bream I was really after, I felt I’d made progress with a slimy slab. An hour later and I had another, this time slightly smaller at 5lb 8oz, but both had provided good fun on the centrepin and light tackle. By the end of the day, around forty tench had found the net, a similar amount of roach, rudd, perch and crucians, and I’d also had the carp which gave an estimated total of about 75lb which I considered to be a good by any standard! After two trips, I’m getting a feel for the place now,

and it’s lovely. A real gem of a small water, perfect for the ‘pin, and now packed with ﬁsh after good club management and improvements, so one to enjoy for many an hour over summer. I expect the initial rush of carpers to subside and I’m hoping I’ll ﬁnally be able to sneak into that corner peg I want to try and lay a trap for the bigger carp, but I’ll certainly be back to see if I can catch a bigger bream too… I think I maybe falling in love with this water, I can’t wait to see it in its summer bloom! I’ll keep you up to date…

COUNTY SENIOR FOOTBALL with Michael Clarke

It was a huge week in the County Senior League. We had both Brian Bradley Memorial Trophy SemiFinals,the League Cup Final and a dozen league games. League Cup Final North Gawber Colliery won the League Cup on Thursday,when they beat Grimethorpe Sports 2-1 at the Look Local Stadium, with goals from Joseph Thornton and Matthew Thornton. North Gawber willbe looking to add to their trophies in the coming month, as they are well placed in the Premier Division title race and have a S&HCFA Senior Cup final against Frickley Athletic to look forward to. Brian Bradley Memorial Trophy Semi-Finals Both Brian Bradley Memorial Trophy Semi-Finals were played back-to-back this week on Tuesday and Wednesday night. On Tuesday night we had Premier Division high-flyers Dodworth Miners Welfare against Division One Leaders Burngreave FC. Goals from John Lufudu and Tamar Mahmood Nasir gave Burngreave a shock 2-0 win. Burngreave will face Hepworth United in the final, after their 3-1 win over in-form Houghton Main. Premier Division Dodworth Miners Welfare soon put aside their cup disappointment by taking their fury out on Denaby United on Saturday. Dodworth ran out 7-0 winners, and the three points takes them back to the summit of the Premier Division. Dodworth have a two point lead over North Gawber with one game remaining, however North Gawber still have three games to play. Losing cup finalists Grimethorpe Sports fell to a further defeat on Saturday, as they lost 3-2 away against High Green Villa. High Green had previously taken a point from a 2-2 draw away against Jubilee

Division One Burngreave FC secured the Division One title on Saturday, with a 4-2 away win over Sheffield Medics. The Brian Bradley Memorial Trophy finalists have been worthy winners of Division One with 20 wins from their 24 games played. Second placed Ecclesfield Red Rose 1915 were 10-1 winners over Boynton Sports at Chaucer School. Todd Guest (2), Gavin Hunter, Ryan McDonald (3), Matthew Young, Carlton Carty (2) and Daniel Lindley were all on target for Ecclesfield who tied-up second place in the process. A hat-trick from Luke Malcolm inspired Houghton Main to a hard-fought 4-3 away win over Kiveton Park. Houghton Main have a huge game next week at home to Sheffield Bankers, knowing only a win will give them a top three finish. On Wednesday night Caribbean Sports were 7-1 winners at home against bottom side Millmoor Juniors. The win gives Caribbean a three point lead over third bottom Boynton Sports. Second bottom Sheffield Bankers slipped to a 11-1 loss to fifth placed Denaby Main. Division Two New Bohemians moved into fourth place in the Second Division with an impressive 5-1 home win over third placed Sheffield Union. The two sides meet again next Saturday in the reverse fixture, which is the only outstanding fixture remaining in Division Two.

WE’VE GIVEN IT EVERYTHING - WARNE

ROTHERHAM United boss Paul Warne was quick to pay tribute to the efforts of his players, despite their relegation to League One being confirmed following their narrow reversal at West Bromwich Albion. The Millers hopes of taking their Championship survival fight to the final day were boosted when they took a deserved lead at The Hawthorns thanks to Clark Robertson’s fine header but West Brom killed off their ambitions when Jay Rodriguez netted from the spot before Rakeem Harper notched the decisive winner, just minutes later. However, Warne’s side refused to throw in the towel and Joe Newell struck the crossbar before sub Richie Towell had a goalbound effort blocked, in the final seconds. Speaking to the assembled media afterwards, Warne, while rueful his side missed an opportunity to extend their survival fight for another week, was proud of his side’s display against the play-off participants. “I thought we were outstanding today.” Warne enthused. “I thought we were by far the better team in the first half and we deserved to go in at the break one up, but it wasn’t to be. “I wanted the lads to keep the intensity up at the start of the second half. We started the second half really well and we took the lead. “I’m hugely disappointed with the first goal because it was our throw in, in the bottom corner. They win a penalty and then there is a massive swing in the game. “We had to play a shape which is high-risk to get a winning goal and we were open to the

MCCANN: WE SHOWED OUR GRIT AT OXFORD Manager Grant McCann praised his side’s character after a vital point on the road at Oxford United on Saturday. Rovers strengthened their position in the race for the ﬁnal Sky Bet League One play-off place, with John Marquis and a Nico Jones own-goal helping McCann’s men to a 2-2 draw at the Kassam Stadium. “We’re all still calm, I think the boys were fairly calm before the game, and I thought we showed tremendous character here, Oxford isn’t an easy place to come and the wind hasn’t been great, but we dealt with it very well,” he said.

BUTLER HIGHLIGHTS BENEFIT OF EXPERIENCED PLAYERS IN SQUAD

Stadium against a team who have not suffered defeat since February 19. “It’s a great point and a good performance from everyone involved,” said Butler. “The conditions weren’t great for either team, you could see how much the wind blew in one direction but I thought in the second half – when we were playing into the wind – we probably played better football than we did ﬁrst half. Butler believes the experience of players like himself, James Coppinger and Tommy Rowe give his side an advantage at a crucial point in the season. Andy Butler hailed a great point on the road “We’ve got experienced players here and after Rovers come from behind to draw 2-2 experience counts in these situations. Even at Oxford United and strengthen their grip when we were 2-1 down we didn’t get rattled on the play-off places. and everyone stuck to their tasks A ﬁrst-half goal from Rovers’ top striker “It’s a tough place to come, they’re a good John Marquis and a second-half own goal team but I thought we more than matched them was enough to take a point from the Kassam and we could have snuck it at the end.”

“The first half was a bit difficult as we were playing with the wind and it didn’t make it easy for us to put balls into the box or to feet, but credit to the boys for the first goal which was a great ball in from Mallik Wilks and a lovely header from John. “To respond like we did from going 2-1 down was superb: we needed to be strong as Oxford are the form team in the division and they always looked dangerous, but on the whole we dealt with them well.” Rovers now face Coventry City on the final day of the regular season at the Keepmoat Stadium looking for three points that would confirm a top-six finish, and McCann says he is not bothered by results elsewhere - with the focus solely on his side and what they do. “On the whole, we’ve been very good this season, there’s only been a small number of games where we haven’t been ourselves, but

BRUCE PLEASED WITH OWLS FIGHTBACK Following the proverbial game of two halves, Steve Bruce hailed his players for the turnaround that triggered a point at Preston. Wednesday were a shadow of themselves at

the break as they trailed 2-0 but a spirited second half performance turned the tide. Even after later going 3-1 behind, the Owls refused to lay down and ultimately salvaged a hard-earned draw over

the Pennines. Bruce said: “Well for as terrific as we were in the second half we were awful in the first half. “The players just weren’t at it and that’s the first time I’ve lost my temper here since I’ve walked

through the door. “But credit to them. They’ve responded in the right way and even when we went 3-1 down I thought we could come back. “And in the end, in all honesty, we could have won the game twice right at the end. “I’m pleased for the supporters because

they’ve gone home now with smiles on their faces and it looked anything like that in the ﬁrst half. “They’ve turned out in huge numbers today on an awful afternoon and they deserved to see their team take something from what in the end was a very entertaining game.”

team, has deﬁed he odds and returned to ﬁrst team action. His performance was steady and made it look like he had never been away from the game. The same cannot be said for the rest of his team mates. From the off Wednesday looked sluggish in possession. Making needless mistakes that have not been seen since Luhukay was in charge. Preston took the lead early on with a good strike from Stockley after 9 minutes. They then went two up on 36 minutes after miscommunication between Dawson and Lees ended with the latter heading into his own goal. It looked like Bruce had given the Wednesday players the hairdryer treatment at half time as they came

With Bannan coolly slotting home after 49 minutes. The game was evenly matched and looked to be over when Browne scored after 62 minutes. However, the introduction of Nuhiu on 67 minutes started the Owls comeback. First Nuhiu set up Forestieri slot home, then he himself got onto the end of a cross to score with his head. As Wednesday looked to press on from the sudden change in momentum, Iorfa launched himself into a challenge on Fisher and deservedly got a straight red card. From then the game was pretty even, with Wednesday coming closest to nicking it with two chances at the end. Overall an entertaining game that could’ve gone either way.

IT’S AN AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT, SAYS WILDER The Blades boss gives his reaction to events at Bramall Lane following the ﬁnal home game of the Championship season. Chris Wilder was understandably emotional as United took a huge step towards the Premier League on Saturday. Speaking after goals from Scott Hogan and Jack O’Connell helped see off Ipswich Town, the

Blades boss spoke of his admiration for everyone involved in what Wilder describes as an ‘amazing achievement’. He remarked: “It’s been an incredible afternoon that caps off an incredible three years really, for myself personally. “But I’m unbelievably humbled to be part of a fantastic group and be involved at this fantastic club which is close to my heart.

“I’m as proud as punch that I’ve got my family here who are supporters and I’ve got pals all over the ground. “To be a supporter of this football club I’ve always said you’ve got to be different in a lot of ways, it’s not a glory hunting club, but we’ve had some highs and lows. “So to reward these supporters who’ve had to take a lot of grief in recent

times, being out of the Championship for six years, in the pub league as people called it, but we’re heading to t Champagne league now. “It’s an amazing achievement from the players, I stand out here and talk and the response I get is humbling, but there is an unbelievable amount of work done by the staff. Wilder continued:

“The likes of Mark Duffy from Prescot Cables to Anﬁeld and look at him, he wasn’t going to let that opportunity slip. “People have talked about us falling away, 14 points from seven games at the business end of the season, when the pressure is cranked up, is just an amazing achievement because we shouldn’t have been near the top of the division. “Supporters will hold

this group of players in high regard and we’ve had some fantastic teams in the past, the likes of TC, Len (Badger) and Ted Hemsley. Alan Hodgkinson too, he always wanted me to get this job. “There was then the Bassett days and the success under Neil (Warnock) and I hope this team will be spoken about in the same breath.”

INCREDIBLE TURNAROUND, SAYS WILDER Chris Wilder says to have won two promotion in three seasons caps an ‘incredible’ turnaround in the Blades fortunes. United had ﬁnished mid-table in League One shortly before Wilder walked through the door and he is adamant it’s been a United effort in the time that has elapsed since. He remarked: “The speed of

the turnaround is incredible. When we joined, everyone was talking about the Scunthorpe United game and the lap of shame. “So everyone will understand the enormous amount of work that has gone into turning it round and getting moving in the right direction. “I’m always the one at the front and the ﬁgurehead of the club in terms of football,

but there are a lot of people deserve a load of credit, that work tirelessly away from the lights.” The manager added: “I’ve had a 1,000 texts which I will reply too and I once celebrated victory before the ﬁnal whistle with a pal and he said make sure you get it over the line. “Since then I have done, so over the weekend we had to make sure we sealed

the deal and we were all together when we did, which epitomises what we’re about.

Dean Henderson, Chris Basham, Billy Sharp and David McGoldrick were the winners on the night at the Player of the Year Awards. Sunday evening saw Bramall Lane host the annual Player of the Year event as the curtain on a sensational season, which saw promotion to the Premier League

secured earlier on Sunday, comes to a close. Sponsored by longterm commercial partner Whitehornes, a packed Platinum Suite paid tribute to boss Chris Wilder and his team, whilst enjoying a chance to celebrate promotion to the top-ﬂight with the ﬁrst team playing squad and

management. Hosted by local broadcaster and EFL commentator Paul Walker, the evening of awards paid acknowledgement to what has been a truly amazing season on the ﬁeld. David McGoldrick was crowned the 2018/19 Player of the Year having won a tightly fought fan poll

for the coveted top prize.
