year. We hoped we would have some new songs to play rather than do another ‘greatest hits tour’ which you all saw last Summer. As much as we know our fans would be cool with that, we feel that we owe you guys something new when you spend your money to come see us. Frankly, it’s what needs to continue for us to remain vital. The three of us are working very hard to do what we set out to do when we re-formed... get a new blink-182 album recorded. Apologies to all of our fans who have bought tickets and were looking forward to the Summer shows but we’ll be back soon with the rescheduled

COPLEYʼS COLUMN

28th of April, will secure the economic health of this lovely pub, and this is really the way to keep our pubs and clubs.

There is much debate and action groups Friday night presented us with a dilemma, at the moment to save our pubs and clubs, as Junkyard Dog were at the Talbot, another with Toby Foster giving it a mention on walk away from my house and Sunny Daye Radio Sheffield this week. My view on the situation is that lobbying the government is a was at the Victoria. We solved the problem waste of time, in these times of austerity. We by going to see both of these quality acts, therefore have to look at alternative ways of the first half of the evening being spent with addressing the problems being faced by our Junkyard Dog and finishing a great night of pubs and clubs. entertainment watching Sunny Daye.

Weekly Wit With...

ALBERT SNODGRASS

This guy walks into a bar for the first time, and he’s sitting around drinking. Some of the old timers are telling jokes. One of them says “Seventeen” and the other old timers all roar with laughter. A little later, another of ‘em says “Thirty-Two” and again, they all laugh and holler. Well, the new guy can’t figure out what’s going on, so he asks one of the locals next to him “What’re these old-timers doin’?” The local says “Well, they’ve been hangin’ around together so long they all know all the same jokes, so to save extra talkin’ they’ve given ‘em all numbers.” The new fellow says “That’s mighty clever! I think I’ll try that.” So he stands up and says in a loud voice “Nineteen!” Silence; everybody just looks at him, but nobody laughs. Embarrassed, he sits down again, and asks the local fellow “What happened? Why didn’t anyone laugh?” The local says “Well, son, ya just didn’t tell it right...”

There was a man walking down the street, and a security guard came up to him and said “why is there a penguin following you”? And the man said I don’t know, he just followed me. And the security guard, “you take that penguin to the zoo right now”. And the man did. A couple of hours later, the man came out of the zoo with the penguin again and they were walking down the street again. And the security guard said “I thought I told you to take that penguin to the zoo”? And the man said, “I did, he enjoyed himself, now I’m taking him to the library”.

The bidding was proceeding furiously and strong when the Chief Auctioneer suddenly announced “A gentleman in this room has lost a wallet containing ten thousand dollars. If returned, he will pay a reward of two thousand dollars. There was a moment’s silence in the auction house and from the back of the room came a cry: “Two thousand five hundred”

By far the worst of this week’s new TV shows is the stupefyingly awful Sing if You Can. While the format threatened to induce coma, asking Keith Lemon (Celebrity Juice) to host a prime time TV show was the worst decision since someone gave a Tourette’s sufferer the job of the speaking clock.

Worse still, Lemon’s co-host was Stacy Solomon and we haven’t seen a TV duo this incompetent since Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood presented The Brits.

The show features two groups of Z List celebrities who have to sing while being accosted by things they don’t really like very much - like exploding balloons and snakes – yes really! It’s drivel of the highest magnitude, and while this show is for charity, that does not absolve it of crimes against television. It needs to be cancelled at once and never seen or heard of again.

Only, when it goes, please take Stacy Solomon with you. Thank you.

In an attempt to woo the “female” audience, Sky Living saw the first episode of The Hunks on Tuesday at 9:00pm. The Hunks follows the lives of ten guys living together in a house in Cornwall. Watch them in the gym, chatting, meeting girls (quite a lot of this) and doing guy ‘stuff’. It’s insipid tosh of the worst kind but it’s still infinitely better than Kerry Katona: The Next Chapter (which is the same every week: Kerry cries about her life for forty five minutes).

Scraping the barrel next is (unbelievably) TV’s most popular show: Britain’s Got Talent. If only the show actually featured some talent, instead we get Dolphin Boy, a very average singer, and some ‘dancing’ dogs.

Is THIS what the country loves to watch? Really?!

Bereft of Simon Cowell, we have new judges, although how we ended up with Michael McIntyre and David “I want to be cool but I’m just nuts” Hasselhoff is anyone’s guess. Botoxia herself, Amanda Holden, has poisoned her face so much she is incapable of showing emotion (she can’t even raise an eyebrow – except with a finger), and, as a result, I’m giving all this week’s new shows the finger – two of them in fact, for being such vapid nonsense.

But there is hope, for there are plenty of great new shows around: A Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and Doctor Who, to name but three, and I’ll review those next week.

HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS

Following their hugely successful 2010 UK arena tour, the world famous Harlem Globetrotters today announced that they will be returning to the UK for an even more extensive run of dates in 2011, stopping off at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield on Thursday 28th April.

Throughout their history, the Globetrotters have showcased their iconic talents in 120 countries and territories on six continents, often breaking down cultural and societal barriers while providing fans with their first-ever basketball experience. Proud inductees of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the Globetrotters have entertained hundreds of millions of fans—among them popes, kings, queens, and presidents—over more than eight thrilling decades.

Sponsored on their international tours by Spalding and Russell Athletic, the Original Harlem Globetrotters will tip-off their 85th consecutive year on Dec. 26 with their 2011 “4 Times the Fun” World Tour, continuing a world famous tradition of ball handling wizardry, basketball artistry and one-of-akind family entertainment that continues to thrill fans of all ages.

The Harlem Globetrotters recently became the first live-event entertainers to earn the coveted Seal of Approval from Parent Tested, Parent Approved (PTPA). Independent parent volunteers decisively named the team’s live show a winner based on its wholesome family entertainment content and high quality of production. The PTPA™ Seal is internationally recognized as a leader in certifying consumer products for quality, effectiveness and value.

“At PTPA Media, we are proud to play a role in certifying products that families can trust,” said Sharon Vinderine, president and founder of PTPA Media Inc. “The Globetrotters’ ability to keep both parents and children laughing and smiling throughout their show was equally as impressive as their amazing athletic ability. Deservingly, the Globetrotters’ show is the first live-event to earn the PTPA Seal and we are honoured that they trusted us with their legendary show.”

Don’t miss the opportunity to be dazzled by one of the most enduring, respected and iconic shows in family entertainment when the world famous Harlem Globetrotters come to an arena near you in 2011.

TATTOO STUDIO

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Life Lessons (Part One) We all learn lessons in life, some good, some bad and some we forget. We need to follow rules in order to help make our life and health as close to perfect as possible.

(1) Spread the Love. It’s true love that makes the world go round so find love in your heart for all creatures. Tell your nearest and dearest that you love them.

(2) Live without Limits. In order to develop spiritually you need to let go of your fears, beliefs and ego. Pay attention to your breathing and awaken your soul.

(3) Find a Balance. A healthy and vibrant aura is essential to achieving a state of well being and inner peace. To achieve this you need to balance the energy - look at ways of concentrating on what really matters and cut out the energy waste.

(4) Accept the Inevitable. The one thing all of us face is death. Don’t be afraid, death releases us from limitations and stress. It is not the end but the beginning of a new adventure.

(5) Connect with your Karma. Don’t forget that in this lifetime you experience Karma.

It shapes our lives. Actions or places may appear familiar as a result of past lives. Let this knowledge guide you into making the best decisions possible.

(6) Don’t Mourn a Death. Did you know that if you have been good in this life you will be rewarded in the next? Death is only moving onto the next life. Spirit people can come back through mediums just to let their loved ones know they are okay.

(7) Shape your Destiny. When we returned to

this life we had a plan to follow (our destiny pathway). We shape our destiny path each day.

Accept the good with the bad and learn your life lessons.

4 LIFE

TATTOO & PIERCING STUDIO

(8) Trust your Intuition. I have always trusted my gut feeling. I allow it to become my inner knowledge on my quest for wisdom and spirituality. If I am standing near someone I feel their aura and if it’s bad I move away and try and to avoid that person.

(9) Believe in Yourself. Open your mind!

Everybody has some Extra Sensory Perception (ESP). Look out for spiritual signs from loved ones, for example, a white feather, a coin or a robin and please believe that when you talk to your deceased relatives they can hear you.

(10) Give to Others. Nurture your generous nature. Help other people in little ways and the universe will reward you. Whenever I have lost money it always comes back to me either by a lottery win or I will find some money that I had put away and forgot about.

If you’ve been feeling isolated or caught up in fulfilling your obligations or working hard, this is a perfect time to re-connect. You may have to overcome a nagging fear that others will reject you or be critical. Sharpen up your listening skills and see where it leads. Call for more advice…

If there have been crossed wires, or cross words with a friend, this is the perfect time to extend the olive branch and put things on a better footing. Be guided most of all by sincerity, not this tiff. At work, an older person can really encourage you. Call your prediction line for more advice…

Holiday and travel plans are set to run far more smoothly and you can enjoy getting to know someone from further afield. The Sun is also urging you to polish up your CV, and show people what skills and qualities you have to offer. You can find yourself more in demand. Call for more...

You can find yourself chatting to and charming someone locally or through the internet. Call now for your love scope in full…

A payment which has been slow to materialize now occurs. If you’ve been caught up in a property chain, things look brighter here too. You may also find yourself in the mood to take off, and travel. Breaking out like this can be good for you and for your soul. Call for more astral advice…

Just be aware that one friend can be more than a little envious of you. This month has not been great for mixing business and pleasure, so continue to be cautious and if you do make any gains, try to consolidate. You may regret it if you splash cash on trash. Call for your financial scope…

World Champion heptathlete, Jessica Ennis has been chosen as the next Sheffield Legend. Her plaque will join those of previous local heroes such as Seb Coe, Michael Palin, Sean Bean and Joe Cocker outside the Town Hall.

Sheffield’s Lord Mayor, Councillor Alan Law JP said: “Jessica is known and admired by sports fans across the world.

She is a great ambassador for the city and is an ideal role model for young people, not just in Sheffield, but nationally.

“There were many very worthy nominations for this year’s honour, but Households throughout Yorkshire and Lincolnshire will be receiving information she truly deserves to become a Sheffield Legend, as perhaps the greatest athlete of leaflets through their letter boxes next month to remind viewers that switchover her generation.” begins in three months time.

Air Quality Action Plan Consultation Air quality in Sheffield has generally been improving in most areas of the city; however there are still some areas where it has not improved. This is mainly because of the burning of fossil fuels, particularly in vehicle engines.

SCC has a legal duty to monitor air quality and take action if certain health-based air quality targets are not achieved. With air quality in some areas not improving, a new Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) has been drafted setting out a range of actions (or measures) that could be taken to improve air quality in the city.

The Action Plan Poor air quality harms human health.

Each year in Sheffield this has been estimated to cause up to 500 premature deaths with costs to the health service of around £95million.

The purpose of the AQAP is to reduce local air pollution so as to meet National and European-approved air quality standards. It will also have the added benefit of helping to reduce greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.

Help shape what needs to be done.

SCC want to hear your views on the actions suggested so please take a look at the draft AQAP and use the Comments Form to give them your feedback. Both the Plan and the Form can be downloaded from. Your response can be returned by e-mail or by using the Freepost address detailed on the form. Please see http:// www.sheffield.gov.uk/environment/ environmental-health/pollution/air/aqapc You can request a hard copy version of the document by contacting ogo.osammor@ sheffield.gov.uk or 0114 273 4655. Other alternative formats are also available on request.

Comments should be received by Friday 29th April 2011.

SOMETHING FOR THE GRANDKIDS The excitement is underway for the Meadowhall run of IN THE NIGHT GARDEN LIVE, a spectacular musical theatre experience for the whole family produced by Minor Entertainment in association with BBC Worldwide and Ragdoll Productions. The Sheffield event opened on Thursday 14 April and marks the start of this year’s UK tour with 6 other venues to follow. The Meadowhall run ends on Monday 2 May, a total of 76 performances.

Popular children’s TV characters Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka and their friends make a much anticipated return in this magical staged production. In IN THE NIGHT GARDEN LIVE the characters are brought to life with full-size costumes, enchanting music, magical puppets and spectacular panoramic projections, creating an immersive theatrical experience to make audiences feel they are actually entering the magical world of In the Night Garden. One of last year’s top-selling children’s theatre productions in the UK with rave reviews, extended runs and sell-out performances, IN THE NIGHT GARDEN LIVE takes place in its own all-weather, custom-built showdome which will be erected in Meadowhall from beginning of April.

IN THE NIGHT GARDEN LIVE is written by celebrated creator and composer of In the Night Garden, Andrew Davenport; directed by acclaimed choreographer and director, Will Tuckett; and produced by theatre producer Andrew Collier of Minor Entertainment.

Andrew Collier commented: “The showdome is an amazing structure to look at - both from the outside and from the inside. Inflating it will be a performance in itself. The whole team is incredibly excited and can’t wait to see the showdome go up in Meadowhall.”

Auditorium, stage and backstage areas combined are 600 sq. m • The auditorium of 550 seats has been designed with its young audience in mind and provides excellent sight-lines and proximity to the stage for all audience members, with only 13 rows of seating • Up to 5 performances a day, 6 days a week, and there is a choice of two shows across the run, The Pinky Ponk Show and The Ninky Nonk Show • Sixteen pumps inflate the domes in just 2.5 hours, an exciting visual treat in itself. The pumps are permanently attached to the inflated dome and are computer-controlled to detect and immediately rectify any drops in pressure • The entire theatre site construction requires a crew of twenty across 7 days, work which includes preparation of site, dome inflation, installation of seating, staging, rigging, laying cables, as well as set-building and creation of foyer and backstage spaces

The Scenic Settle & Carlisle Line

by Steam Train, Wednesday 1st June Join us on board “The Settle & Carlisle Flyer” to experience the splendour of a Steam hauled journey over the world famous picturesque Settle & Carlisle line.

We start the journey diesel hauled from Worcester Shrub Hill, winding our way cross country through the Midlands skirting the conurbation of Leeds and up into the Aire Valley, where delightful scenery of the 19th Century Mills can be seen, then heading northwards to Hellifield in North Yorkshire where our Steam Locomotive of the day awaits our arrival.

From Hellifield sit back and relax as we head steam hauled toward Settle Junction. We then start the “long drag”, a 14 mile climb from Settle Junction, to the majestic viaduct at Ribblehead. Admire the views of Yorkshire’s famous three peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Penyghent whilst we glide across Ribblehead’s elegant 24 arches. As we plunge into the damp darkness of Blea Moor tunnel, 500ft below the moor above, spare a thought for the navvies who constructed it with nothing but picks, shovels and dynamite. As we emerge into Dent Dales, savour that breathtaking panorama of Blea Moor and green pasture. Garsdale flashes by, our locomotive is working hard now as we storm up to the summit of the line at Ais Gill, 1169ft above sea level. Can you spot the ruin of Pendragon Castle?.

Wild Boar Fell frowns at us as we race downhill to the delightful town of Appleby. On leaving Appleby, we enter into the North’s best kept secret - the Eden Valley. Absorb the rich lushness of this little known oasis. Watch out for the deer and game birds. Marvel at the flora and fauna in the Eden Gorge and all too soon we shall have arrived at that great border city of Carlisle. We stop here for approximately 2 hours enough time for a leg stretch before our journey home.

STILL GOING STRONG All at Bellhouse Road WMC and The Mercury would like to show appreciation to one of the area’s oldest club members.

Retired Post Office Worker Harry Shelton still goes to Bellhouse Road WMC every lunchtime for a couple of pints at the ripe old age of 93!

Harry has 2 daughters and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Over the years he has been members of many clubs in the region, six of which are now closed!

If your club has any extra-ordinary members please let us know

THE BEST JAM NIGHT AROUND To all musicians and singers out there I would like to draw your attention to the Midland Hotel I went out of the district this at Killamarsh and it’s fantastic weekend to pay a visit to Jam Night.

Silverdale Club at Dinnington.

Whilst i’ve been going i’ve seen What a nice friendly club, and musicians of all ages from 12 to reasonably full when I got there. 60+ with quality Musos on Sax, Some of the members told me – if Keys, Drums and Axe, etc. the act’s good they stop in, and if It usually goes on until midnight it’s bad they go! I’d already missed without a break and everyone gets the first spot from the duo “Deep” up to have a play or a sing. and the crowd was still there – I’d like to wish the best of luck which I took as a good sign, and to all the young lads that turn up in their bands and I can’t forget I wasn’t disappointed. The set James & Georgina who seem to started with a rock n’ roll medley love AC/DC even though they’ll which had the crowd up and dancing, and followed with a series only 12.

To say the keyboard player of classics, with slick costume changes and loads of energy. Pete is a Jack Black double is an understatement, not forgetting and Diane (the duo) told me they Joe’s Freddy Mercury send up, don’t do a lot round Sheffield – Shwimp and Tomo on lead and which is a pity, as they are a cut vocals all go to make this the best above many of the regulars on jam night around. The landlady the circuit, and deserve a wider Julie always provides food which audience. is a nice gesture.

See you in Clubland!

So I say to all you frustrated musicians and vocalists who want Paul (Rocky Horrors) to have a blast get down to the

148TH CIU AGM PART 2

Midland Hotel and do it! You’ll be suprised at the turnout and you may see some old faces from the past.

It’s now on every Thursday and it’s better than any other Jam night in CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK the area in my opinion.

raised at the AGM. This week we’ll look at some of the economic ones.

Every time a club and indeed a pub, closes, jobs are lost and £1755 RAISED FOR there have been around 30,000 HELP FOR HEROES lost in this sector over the years, Brian Binley MP told delegates An old time Pub Piano sing at the AGM. This is often missed along plus pea ‘n’ pie supper, by politicians and the media who was held recently at The Old are quick to pick up on job losses Red Lion in Grenoside. There in other sectors.

There was a loss of Pictured L/R are Steve Brearley, over £33,000 but this was a big improvement on the previous organiser.

There had been big Emma Scarffe, Landlady and cutbacks in Union spending, Richard North, Head Chef. including redundancies at HQ If you have not been to one of in London, along with sound these events yet, you are missing management of the investment out on something quite unique in pub life these days. So get together portfolio. Mick McGlasham, in his General Secretary’s address, with friends and catch one at The backed this up, saying that they Masons Arms Thorpe Hesley on were constantly looking for Wed. 20th April, or The Plough, ways of saving money and this Low Bradfield on Sat. 7th May. included the reduction in the Tickets are £7 and available from number sitting on the National the Pubs concerned.Have a great Executive Committee (NEC). night and help this great cause.

But costs can only be cut so much and new ways of raising money and resources are needed so everyone was urged to consider what these might be, in their clubs and in their branches.

He called in his address for a ‘big debate’ about ways to keep the Union going. Revenue has to be found not just to ‘fix the Neil & Jules from Creswell (Pete Stringfellow’s Lovechild)

fence’ as he put it but to secure the future CIU’s future.

Some amendments were proposed with respect to costs of Associate and Pass cards and also the per capita rate paid to the CIU from clubs. These small increases will bring in some additional income but there was some discussion about these as clubs and branches are all struggling financially. The delegates ultimately voted in favour of these increases.

Mick McGlasham asked whether the pass card was a thing of the past, as people’s behaviour had changed. He also pointed to the role of breweries and banks and how they have to be confronted sometimes in order to gain better treatment for all clubs. NEC member Brian Slasberg in his address offered a measured account of what the CIU does for clubs, including financial advice and services. His own club Kingsley Park WMC in Northampton, recently received some much welcomed rebates after picking up on the CIU advice. The information is made available for clubs but some, he pointed out, just don’t bother to follow this through and therefore lose valuable funds. There is help available for struggling clubs in the Union and the affiliation fee can be recouped many times over through taking up this help. He encouraged clubs to support the CIU and to make full use of what is there, as he did for his own club.

were two pieces performed by the Wells Singers.

The Wells Singers are a local group of singers, originally from North and South Anston Methodist churches. Named after their origins from the North Anston Church, known as the Chapel in The Wells, the group perform a variety of types of music but remained focussed on music in keeping with the service this time.

The service will be broadcast on Radio Nightingale on Easter Sunday at 5.00pm for the patients at the Rotherham General Hospital. Copies of the recording

LIVE REVIEW by KT Evans SOYO Live SOYO - 18/04/11

LIVE PREVIEW by KT Evans Katie Melua City Hall - 15/04/11

Roll up roll up…it’s a Monday night which means only one thing…SOYO Live of course!

A breeding ground for up-and-coming, local bands and acts, SOYO Live not only reinforces Sheffield’s steel strength music scene, but also the versatility of Yorkshire’s unsigned music.

This week…Section 60, Kartica, Yearbook and Maps of Columbus.

Emerging from the North West, Maps of Columbus, an indie / alternative band who set the pace for the evening’s events. This band screams passion for music, with their guitar driven, head banging melodies and catchy tunes. Although somewhat overly thrashy in parts for the type of genre they were performing, Maps of Columbus have a catchy back catalogue with tracks such as ‘Here’s My Friend Dan McKenna’ and ‘Daisy’ which, not only were tight and together, but were a perfect opener for the jam-packed night ahead.

A lot of talk has been going on about Yearbook, the second band to grace the SOYO stage.

Demonstrating not only that they are very pretty damn good musicians, they also have dipped their toe into remixes and re-mastering of their own work; ‘Have Patience,’ a rock infused head banger has been infiltrated by electronic riffs and undertones, no doubt indicating Yearbooks talent for music. Other tunes, ‘Unthink’ and ‘Fingertips In’ were also received well on the night and clearly portrayed this Hampshire lot’s musical ability.

Next up, Kartica, who arguably put on the set of the night with their explosive, fiery performance.

Claiming on their myspace they were formed ‘to showcase music that has been written with meaning and soul,’ this was clear through tracks ‘Navigate’ and ‘Show Stop Smile,’ all heavily guitar fuelled but not so much to overwhelm the audience. Hey, no one wants to listen to music that will leave you with a permanent case of tinnitus, something which Kartica have successfully balanced. They are committed to their music and although not particularly front runners in the Sheffield Music Scene, do have some serious scope and potential for the future.

Snatching the head lining spot, Section 60, a five piece indie rick band from Sheffield.

Although the different age ranges in the band should be an issue, if anything it adds to the bands diversity and uniqueness; front man Chris Perkins has a likeable charisma on stage which aids the bands whole persona. With memorable, foot tapping beats and a dedicated connection between the band members, Section 60 put on a first class, exciting show worthy of some serious recognition. Yet another belter of a SOYO evening.

The beautiful songstress who taught us all that there are ‘nine million bicycles in Beijing;’ Katie Melua will be coming to Sheffield’s City Hall this Friday. Having been somewhat off the radar for a while, Melua is back with her fifty date world tour which sees her perform up until late June.

And we thought we were busy!

Having been re-scheduled from the 10th December to this Friday, Katie Melua is set to wow audiences with her superb vocals and guitar skills. Having just released her latest album in 2010, ‘The House,’ Melua was given a helping hand by the likes of Guy Chambers and William Orbit, which resulted in a highly praised fourth release. Orbit, who has produced tracks for Madonna and Blur, described ‘The House’ as ‘…really exciting. It was the same feeling I had the first time I went skydiving…’ which enabled Melua to move her song writing and musical ability to the next level, a huge step for the twenty six year old.

At the tender age of nineteen, in 2003 Katie Melua released her first album, ‘Call off the Search,’ which spent six weeks at the top of the UK charts, selling over 3.6 million copies world-wide. Receiving six times platinum sales in the UK, three times platinum in Norway and twice in Germany, Melua’s career rocketed from then on. This was preceded by her second album release in October 2005, ‘Piece by Piece,’ which stayed at number one in the UK charts for three weeks. Along with this, 2005 also saw Melua win the ECHO award for Best International Newcomer and snatch a nomination for Best International Female Artist.

In October 2007, Melua release her third studio album, ‘Pictures,’ a move away from her usual acoustic sounding back catalogue. A first for the songstress, ‘Ghost Town’ has a typical reggae feel, one of four singles to be released off the album.

‘Pictures’ also featured a cover of legend Leonard Cohen’s ‘In my Secret Life,’ arguably the best track off twelve track album. Having lost out in 2005 for the ECHO award for Best International Female Artist, 2007 also saw Melua win this title along with Goldele Kamera’s Best International Solo Artist.

Sounds to us like she’ll have a pretty cluttered mantel piece!

Don’t miss your chance to see the world renowned singer- song writer live at Sheffield’s City Hall this Friday. For more info visit www.sheffieldcityhall. co.uk/events. Doors 18.30pm. Tickers from £30.00.

HOLIDAY 30 THESHOP

7 Day Soapwatch EASTENDERS MON: Zainab is outraged when she discovers the truth about Masoodʼs new source of income, while Tamwar and Afia prepare to come clean about their secret marriage.

Elsewhere, Heather is delighted when her online boyfriend arranges to meet her in the Vic and Whitney is heartened to see a friendly face returning to the Square.

TUES: Masood follows Zainab to a secret rendezvous and is stunned to see who she is meeting. Meanwhile, Ryan tries to reconnect with Whitney, and Alfieʼs pub quiz is overshadowed by Katʼs unwillingness to say Tommyʼs name.

THURS: Masood vows to rectify his familyʼs financial crisis - will he succeed in his mission, or will Zainab be forced to take matters into her own hands? Alfie moots the idea of a christening for Tommy, much to Katʼs displeasure; and Fat Boyʼs worst fears are confirmed when Mercy is pulled up by border agency officials.

dealings, Andrew forges ahead, hoping to make his business a success and impress Paul in the process. But when Summer becomes involved, it leads to a difficult decision for Andrew. Returning from his trip away, Karl walks into an awkward situation with Lyn that is intentionally exploited by Toadie.

THURS: Tash fears the ongoing backlash against her at school and she soon finds her worst fears realised when everyone turns on her. Tash is willing to go to any lengths to claw back her popularity but only one person pays her any attention - and Summer is not happy about who it is.

FRI: Toadie and Sonya are relieved that Callumʼs nightmares appear to have stopped, but Callum is not happy with an incomplete picture. He tries to coax more information from his memory, but to no avail. So he comes up with a much more drastic plan. Tash looks for a way to boost her friendship, but clashes with Summer.

PETS CORNER

PDSA TIPS FOR TICK BITE PREVENTION Last week was Tick Bite Prevention Week (1117 April), which aims to raise awareness about the risks which ticks can pose to both animals and their owners. PDSA is here to give you advice on protecting your pet from ticks.

Although cases of tick bites are low in the UK, some can cause Lyme disease, a bacterial infection that can spread around the body. In humans this can start off with a small rash around the bite, together with other possible symptoms including tiredness, joint and muscle pain and a high temperature. Similar signs can develop in dogs, although there can be a delay of several months before the signs begin to show.

Speak to your vet about protecting your pet against ticks and other parasites, especially in areas where they are known to be a problem.

Some preventive flea treatments also kill ticks, so it is easy to give your pet broad protection against all of them. Your vet can advise on this.

Ticks are generally found in wooded and moorland areas, especially where there is long grass, so check for any ticks on your dog after walking in these areas. The most common places for tick attachment are the head, ears, legs and underside, so pay particular attention to these areas.

If Lyme disease is known to be a risk in your area avoid letting your dog wander off into deep undergrowth. Ticks cannot fly or jump but attach themselves to the skin of animals that brush against them.

When ticks first attach they are the size of a small pinhead but they gradually grow to the size of a large pea. At this stage they may be mistaken for a bluish-grey lump or wart. Some dogs may develop a reaction at the tick site, which could be a small scab or a large swelling.

It is important to remove a tick properly. This means removing the whole tick and not leaving the mouthparts in your pet’s skin, as this can cause irritation and infection. The two most effective methods are applying a licensed treatment (available from your vet) or removal with tweezers or a “tick hook”. A tick hook is a small plastic hook which ensures the mouthparts are adequately gripped. It is best to get advice from your vet before using these methods.

If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a tick or you want to find out more about parasite prevention, visit your local vet.

HOWDEN COURT JOHNSON BROS THERE’S lots of very good reasons why customers return to the attractive historic Howden Court Hotel, in Torquay, time and time again.

In addition to its great location on the English Riviera, its relaxing gardens, quality accommodation and efficient transport arrangements, hotelier Peter Fannon has developed several themed breaks, which provide an extra dimension to the stay. These are always excellent value for money and have proved extremely popular with guests.

His latest idea - a Champagne Special, will run from April 24-30, to enable guests to watch and celebrate the Royal Wedding in style.

“Everyone enjoys a good wedding and we want to bring people together,” explained Peter. “We will be setting up a large screened TV in the hotel lounge so guests will be able to relax and watch the proceedings while toasting the happy couple.”

Priced at a very reasonable £240, the break also includes all accommodation costs, transport between Sheffield and Torquay in the hotel’s own quality coach, plus a trip to the highly popular Eden Centre attraction, in Cornwall.

This special one-off break follows on from the hotel’s 1940s themed holidays in March which are also well attended and, Peter says, his guests have already enjoyed some warm sunny afternoons in the hotel’s attractive south-facing garden.

A family-run business, Howden Court Hotel is known for its good, reliable service, welcoming hospitality and fun.

The main facilities of the hotel are usefully all on one level, and it is less the 100 metres away from Torquay’s attractive beaches.

All in all there is little wonder that regulars return time and time again to enjoy a relaxing break at the Howden Court.

I’m an angler who often wonders how to get a little bit more out of what I’m doing, the baits that I’m using, and the way I present them. Much has been made of the benefits of dips, glugs and bait sprays, but have you ever tried to make your own?

I’ve found that the biggest problem is where to start and what to start with! I’ve bought glycerine and various other ‘carriers’ in the past, hoping it would provide the neutral base to accept any flavours or scents I could think of to attract fish. I know that many anglers swear by various flavours, and I like messing about in the kitchen when it comes to baits (think Muppet Chef!) so finding a ‘base’ has proved a thankless task. However, as a result of some work I’ve done with Devon based bait company Pallatrax, I discovered a purpose made neutral glug in their catalogue, so it’s time for some experimental fun!

If I’m honest, the glug base is very sticky, so I like to add a couple of spoonfuls to some boiling water to make it work a little better, or even microwave it for a few seconds. The hot water also makes it easier to absorb the flavour. I’ve struggled at times to get the mix just ‘right’, but once you get the idea of just what amounts of glug and water are needed to reach the correct consistency, then you’re well on the way to designing your own individual bait additives!

What flavours can go into the glug?

Anything really, take a trip to your local supermarket (or better still Asian supermarket) and the only limits are your imagination! There are many different products sold in tackle shops too; aminos, betaine, all of these can be added to your glug.

Obviously, you can’t chop up a pineapple or a mackerel and sling it into your mixture then expect perfect results. The fun with this is all in the making; remember cookery lessons as a kid? Well, it’s a bit like that!

(It is if you’ve seen my kitchen when I’ve finished!). For my fishing, I like to use lot

of ‘fishy’ flavours; my local Chinese market does a mean line in squid sauce which is ideal for introducing into the glug in small amounts. Powdered ingredients are a very good way of creating something new, although it’s best to pre-mix with the boiling water before adding to your blend to ensure an even distribution of flavour.

The neutral glug supplied is also colourless which opens up a whole new range of things to consider. Again, powdered additions will cause a tint or hue, but liquid food colourings can be used to supplement any combination you choose. How about an electric blue tuna/chilli/scopex dip with stripes in? Or a Willy Wonka choco/toffee/ milk glug in pink? Maybe even a squid/ mackerel/marmite solution in camouflage?

Only you have the answer, but it’s good fun trying to find a combination that gives you the edge over everyone else, so why not get the kids involved and see what you can come up with?

Neutral glug available at www.pallatrax. co.uk or at all good stockists, priced at £4.95

STEELERS INTERNATIONAL RE-SIGNS ICE HOCKEY

By Sarah Youle

The Sheffield Steelers’ 2011-12 season hopes got a major boost this week, as GB Internationals Jonathan Philips, Ashley Tait and Mark Thomas re-signed for the club. New Head Coach Ryan Finnerty has made re-signing the core of Brits a priority since taking over the reins at the club.

“I have to say that negotiations with the four of them took a morning, they are great lads who want to be here, and that’s nine-tenths of the battle right there.”

Finnerty told the Steelers website. “These guys have Steelers cut through them. Just look at their records, Thomas season seven, the same as Hewitt, Phillips season six, Tait season four. These are the guy s that have led the club during the recent upturn in the club’s fortunes. They all have multiple championships behind them...In recent times the Steelers have had the best Brit pack, I kno0w we have lost Dowdy and we would have loved to kept him [sic] but still I wouldn’t trade my Brit’s for any ones else’s [sic]”.

Tait, who returned to the Steelers after a season playing in Italy has been appointed assistant coach, a position he was signed for last year before Dave Matsos left the club under Bob Phillips’ ownership.

“It’s a bigger role than the one had last season” Tait explained, “last year of course I signed as an assistant under Dave Matsos, someone I knew and had a relationship with. Then things changed and it took a while for Ben and I to develop our partnership properly. Of course I know Finner well and right off the bat we are on the same page on so many issues.”

Captain Jonathan Phillips re-signed last Thursday to sighs of relief from around the fan-base. Heading into his seventh season with the club, “Jono” took over as the Steelers’ captain when then-Captain Shawn Maltby suffered an injury that left him sidelined. When Maltby returned to fitness, Phillips kept the “C”.

Mark Thomas returns to the blue line, and fans are thrilled that the Manchester lad has made Sheffield his home for another year. Originally signing from London Racers when the club went into liquidation, he has been a fan favourite ever since.

“From the moment I walked in here I have loved it.

MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk The Rovers started brightly winning a corner in the second minute and although came to then Coppinger crossing from the right but the ball going across the face of goal without anybody getting a touch. It was the home side’s turn to attack down their right with Fryatt’s final effort being saved by Woods.

Then Koren on the home right put a cross across the face of goal that went all the way out for a throw in. Straight to the other end and Oster fired high and wide from 25yards. Then, in the 9th minute, Fryatt came in from the left but his shot was blocked and came back out to GARCIA, who fired in. A corner to the Rovers, Chester firing wide for the home team and Coppinger shooting well wide at the other end soon followed. In the 16th minute, Gillett hit a tremendous 30yarder that thudded against the left hand post and rebounded out to MOUSSA, who rifled in from 20yards. Parity was short lived however because four minutes later the home team were awarded a penalty when Gerrard was fouled in the area by Martis following a corner. FRYATT took the kick and hammered it past Woods to put the Tigers back in front. Minutes later, following a Rovers corner the home team made a quick break down their right but Koren put wide. Garcia then headed over a cross from Dawson on the Hull left and, on the half hour, Fryatt put wide from 25yards. The Rovers were having a fair amount of the midfield play but not getting a sight of goal as the game ran down to the break. The only actions of note were Koren firing well wide and the Rovers winning a corner from which Devitt made a break down the home right but Stock blocked him off and earned himself a booking.

The Rovers got the second half underway and Oster got in a strike at goal but Mannone saved easily. Minutes later Simpson, of Hull, put over the bar from 20yards. However, in the 50th minute, Rosenior on the Hull right got in a cross to the far post that FRYATT, unmarked, headed into the net. Immediately, the home team threatened again with Fryatt and Simpson combining, giving the latter chance of a low shot that Woods had to go down to his left to push away. Then Hayter chased a ball to the right byline, with Dawson trying to shepherd it out. Hayter won the ball and pulled it back for Gillett to shoot but Mannone beat it out for a corner. In the 57thminute, Moussa crossed from the left to Coppinger on the right but

AUTYʼS UNDER 21 DELIGHT SPEEDWAY Sheffield Tigers

GAFFERS VERDICT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

Doncaster Rovers manager Sean O’Driscoll hopes he will be able to retain the services of loan midfielder Franck Moussa until the end of the season.

The former Belgian U18 midfielder has impressed all with his ability on and off the ball for Doncaster Rovers since his arrival at the Club in February, notching one goal in his 11 appearances in the red and white hoops.

“We’d like to (keep Moussa for the remainder of the season),” revealed O’Driscoll on RoversPlayer.

“We could have taken him until the end of the season; as Leicester have an automatic recall after the first month. I think that Leicester wanted to reassess the situation, plus Franck hadn’t signed a new contract when the loan came up and he was out of contract.

Without pre-empting what Leicester want to do, we would be keen to keep him until the end of the season - with the proviso, as was the case with Billy, that he wouldn’t be played against Leicester. It would be churlish to think that we could play one of their own players against them when they are still in the running for a Play-Off place.”

“We haven’t heard anything that would suggest that they might want him back, but when we signed him Leicester wanted to see how he progressed and he has progressed with us. They were quite keen to tie him down, but by that time, it hadn’t been agreed.

Again, we’ve not yet spoken to Leicester and vice versa, Leicester haven’t spoken to us and informed us that it would be a problem. We would hope that it will all be done before the weekend.”

The move would be a boost for Rovers in the remaining few games of the Championship campaign - and the Rovers manager has been left delighted with what Moussa has had to offer the side.

“Franck has settled within the team and they have respected his work rate for one - and he has ability as well. He’ll be disappointed that he hasn’t scored more goals and he is probably the one player who most of the chances have fallen to, whether he’s created them himself or they have fallen to them on the box.”

“You can understand why Leicester want to keep him there, even though they look like they’ll be investing in their team whether they go up or remain in the Championship. He’s a good young player and the world’s his oyster.”

MILLERS JUST CANʼT BREAK DEADLOCK IN FRONT OF NEW BOSS MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk

Rotherham United couldn’t break down a resilient Hereford United after a goalless draw at Don Valley in front of new boss Andy Scott.

Despite having the baulk of possession the Millers couldn’t find a way past a solid Hereford wall which held firm after a sustained attack in the second half.

Andy Scott made one change for his first game in charge of the Millers, selecting Mark Bradley in place of Marcus Marshall, who dropped to the bench.

Stuart Fleetwood raced clear inside two minutes, but Jamie Annerson came off his line quickly to thwart Hereford’s top scorer.

The Millers looked lively in the opening quarter of an hour without testing Adam Bartlett.Ryan Taylor and Nicky Law both fired wide, with Tom Pope seeing a long range effort well blocked.

On 19 minutes Rotherham almost broke the deadlock.Pope dug out a cross to Ryan Taylor, who first touch was excellent and he would surely have hit the back of the net but for the intervention of Michael Townsend.From the resulting corner, skipper Ryan Cresswell had his header cleared off the line.

Rotherham came close again after half an hour.Tom Newey’s long throw was headed inches wide of Bartlett’s left hand post by an unmarked Cresswell.

On 37 minutes Law cut inside and fired in an awkward shot, which Bartlett fumbled.Ryan Taylor pounced on the rebound and hit a powerful half volley, which was superbly saved by Bartlett to redeem his earlier mistake.

Another positive start by the Millers resulted in plenty of possession but they had to wait until the 59th minute for their first real chance. Law swung in a corner from the right straight onto the head of Nick Fenton but his header was smothered by Bartlett.

Fenton had another sniff of an opportunity on 65 minutes when a knockdown by Ryan Taylor found its way into the path of the big defender but he couldn’t get a clean connection and the ball was eventually cleared.

The Millers started to turn the screw with Cresswell finding the ball in the area from a Law corner, but his shot on the spin was bundled away by Bartlett.

On 71 minutes the Millers were given a scare when Joe Colbeck sprinted down the right before his cross took a wicked deflection off Cresswell before hammering the outside of Annerson’s post.

The Millers continued to press and were unfortunate with nine minutes remaining when Law headed the ball into the six yard area, where sub Adam Le Fondre tried an acrobatic effort which fell straight to Bartlett.

With five minutes remaining Ryan Taylor battled away for possession in the area before his shot was eventually smuggled behind for a corner.

In injury time Ryan Taylor was denied again this time with a header which was cleared off the line by Colbeck.

He said: “This has to be the best result of my career so far because it underlines to me that I’m capable of not just matching top riders but beating them.

“My form for Sheffield has been good so far and I want to keep it going because I’ve got a busy spell coming up and we have home and away meetings with Ipswich this week.”

Tigers lost at home to Somerset last Thursday which means they are under pressure to bounce back against the Witches on Thursday.

his fierce drive was blocked at the near post by the keeper. A few minutes later a corner to the Rovers was met by Hayter but his shot was blocked. In the 63rd minute another corner to the Rovers was cleared by the Hull defence to Gillett who put Coppinger away down the right. He put a low cross into the middle for Hayter to stab in but the keeper smothered the ball.

In the 69th minute Fryatt, on the Hull right, put in a low cross that found its way through to the far post where Simpson, a yard out, got tangled up with the ball and let it roll out for a goal kick. The rovers continued to press and a good move down the left led to Euell crossing for Coppinger to put over the bar. This was followed by a great run by Mason and his shot was misjudged by the keeper but luckily for him it went off his leg for a corner. Two more corners followed but nothing came from them. The last ten minutes was pure entertainment as the Rovers pressed hard and Hull hit them on the break.

Fryatt put wide, Mason had a shot blocked, McLean had a shot saved, Fryatt and McLean broke clear with only Woods to beat, Fryatt passed inside to McLean who only had to tap into an empty net and he miskicked the ball, Mason had a shot pushed out for a corner, Euell headed over from a Stock cross, Fryatt shot high and wide, Moussa had a good effort saved and Coppinger had a shot deflected for a corner. The whistle went on an entertaining game but it was a losing one for the Rovers.

GOLF TOURS

WE DID EVERYTHING BUS SCORE - SCOTT

GAFFERS REACTION www.themillers.co.uk New Rotherham United manager Andy Scott took plenty of positives from his first game in the dugout, despite the Millers unable to break down a resilient Hereford in a 0-0 draw at Don Valley.

The Millers dominated possession and had a number of opportunities to break the deadlock but in the end had to settle for a point, but Scott was impressed with the overall display from his new side.

“They gave me everything today,” he told Millers Player after the game.

“We dropped off a little in the second half but the intensity was excellent in the first half. We totally dominated the game and did everything but score but there are a few little things that we need to work on and areas to improve. On another day two or three go in for you but that is the way things are going at the moment. The lads worked very hard, the lads took on board things that we asked them to but we need to be more brave on the ball and try and keep it. I wasn’t expecting miracles in the first few days but I think that everyone who saw the game would say that we thoroughly deserved to win it and were unfortunate to only get a point.”

Scott made one change to the side that drew at Cheltenham last weekend with Mark Bradley coming in on the right in place of Marcus Marshall, and the new boss explained his reasoning behind the change.

“Looking at the playing conditions I felt that we needed to be more solid and able to get the ball into the front two,” added Scott.

“I thought that the front two absolutely dominated their back four and worked very hard and we broke off them. Bradders understands the game, has good energy and we looked solid and created chances.”

NORTH END TAKE THE POINTS MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

Teenager Jordan Slew scored his first senior goal on an eventful afternoon at Preston that left United rooted to the bottom of the Championship.

His goal was the highlight of a game against second-bottom in which the Blades could have easily come away with a victory.

With the scores locked at 0-0, Bjorn-Helge Riise struck the woodwork when he looked set to open the scoring and Darius Henderson also hit a post.

However, two goals from former Blade Keith Treacy set up Preston’s victory.

For the vital clash at Deepdale, manager Adams gave full debuts to two 18-year-olds who have impressed on United’s route to the FA Youth Cup Final. Sheffield lads Maguire and Slew both started, as did captain Montgomery, as the Blades made three changes. On the bench, Williamson returned after suspension and he was joined by another 18-year-old, Harriott, whilst Chelsea loanee Philliskirk, 20, was given his first taste of senior football with the club that his

Match Reports, Reactions, News, Fans Column - All Articles copyright of www.sufc.co.uk

father, Tony, served as a player.

Wearing red and white shirts with red shorts and socks, United began with a 4-4-2 system and in the back four Lowry moved out to the left to accommodate Maguire alongside Collins, whilst Lowton continued at right-back. The midfield, from right to left was Riise, Montgomery, Doyle and Quinn, leaving Henderson to partner Slew.

North End started the brighter and won a glut of early corners.

Treacy outpaced Lowton but his cross failed to pick out a teammate and then Hume fired over.

Montgomery was the first in the book, on six minutes, his heavy first touch forced him to dive in at Carter.

Slew and Maguire settled in well and saw a lot of the ball in the opening exchanges and it was the latter who had a strike on goal on 22 minutes but his effort was over the crossbar. It was the start of a number of opportunities for United. Quinn got on the end of a pull-back from Henderson but was unable to find the target and then two more crosses failed to find their intended target.

United’s strange season almost took another bizarre twist on 28 minutes when Simonsen went close to his first goal... yes, Simonsen! His long kick bounced twice, including one over his

opposite number, but Turner was relieved to see the ball drift wide of the post.

After being played in by partner Henderson, Slew cut inside his marker and drilled a shot that was saved by Turner at his near post, whilst Preston hit back with Johnson and Brown going close.

Maguire picked up United’s second yellow card, he could do little to prevent his hand coming in contact with the ball but it did prevent Hume’s attempts of a breakaway.

The final chance of the half fell to the visitors and despite the ball dropping nicely for Brown, he was unable to beat Simonsen from 10 yards.

Four minutes after the restart, the Blades wasted a golden chance to break the deadlock. Johnson was dispossessed and Montgomery, Quinn and Henderson were all involved down the left before Slew slid the ball across the ball across the six yard box for a free Riise but the Norwegian could only strike the angle of crossbar and post with the majority of the goal unguarded.

And United were made to pay with the very next Preston chance. From a free-kick, 30 yards out, TREACY’s aim was to deliver into the danger area but his curler deceived everyone and dropped into the corner of

the net.

Treacy came within inches of adding a second four minutes later, from another free-kick, this time his shot struck the top of Simonsen’s right post, before United regained a bit of composure and forced the home side back.

After Henderson flicked on a throw, Montgomery’s impressive volley was tipped over by Turner and Quinn wanted a penalty for Carter’s challenge but referee Tanner cautioned the United midfielder for diving.

Carter was booked for a foul on Quinn soon after and then boss Adams made a double change - handing Philliskirk a debut - before Preston doubled their lead. A corner was cleared back to TREACY, who cut inside Williamson before hammering a right-footer beyond Simonsen and into the top corner.

United were given a lifeline, however, with the next meaningful attack. SLEW picked up the ball on the right, cut across a number of defenders and although his first effort was blocked, he battled on and fired into the bottom corner of Turner’s net from the edge of the box. Maguire also went close to adding his name to the scoresheet but his header from Quinn’s free-kick was just over.

Boss Adams used his last substitution to throw on another striker - Bogdanovic replaced Lowry - which meant a more defensive role for Quinn on the left but United continued to apply pressure on North End. On 77 minutes, Lowton’s run from the right presented a chance for Henderson but the big striker’s low shot struck the base of a post and rolled across the goalmouth. As the game entered the final five minutes, Henderson and Philliskirk both flicked on Maguire’s delivery and an attempted clearance struck Bogdanovic but still dropped kindly for the home side.

Expectedly, United were pushing forward and committing players to attacks and the home side took advantage as the referee’s watched ticked round to 90 minutes. Quinn gave away possession, leaving Collins with three white shirts to pick up. The defender was exposed and Hume found substitute ELLINGTON to fire past Simonsen.

There was still time for Bogdanovic and Lowton to go close in the five minutes of added time but Preston held on to collect the points.

BLADES DOWN BLADES MAD

by Paul Holland

Failure to win our previous three fixtures has resulted in Sheffield United almost certainly being destined to League One football next season, though the mathematics suggest that there is still a way out, the trap door is open and waiting for the Blades to fall.

Wins in South Yorkshire for Crystal Palace (at Doncaster) and Bristol City (at Bramall Lane) will no doubt be enough to send us officially down.

The defeat at Preston summed up United’s season as they

even the shortage of distance with Bjorn Helge Riise smashing the frame after good work from eventual goal scorer Jordan Slew and Darius Henderson clipping the post after a mix up in the defence.

Which players will sign their name to the fighting cause for next season is unknown, although Chris Morgan and Nick ‘Messi’ Montgomery have said they will stay – but loyalty will be needed from others if we are to try and bounce back at the first attempt.

Though it is quite evident that quite a few young players will be stepped up to the mark; Harry Maguire and Slew have already made first team appearances whilst Matt Harriott, George Long and others I’m sure will soon follow.

It will be interesting to see what the first team line-up will be next season.

OWLS EASE PAST HARTLEPOOL

MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk The Owls posted their third home win on the trot as they comfortably beat Hartlepool at Hillsborough on Saturday.

Goals either side of half time from Tommy Miller and Gary Madine were enough to ensure Pools were beaten by Wednesday for the third time this season.

The North East side had already succumbed twice to the Owls in the league and Johnstone’s Paint Trophy and this latest defeat clocked up an unwanted treble.

But Pools had little to offer against a Wednesday outfit determined to return to winning ways after last weekend’s lacklustre reverse at leaders Brighton.

And the Owls made a bright start, dominating possession, although they had to wait until the 15-minute mark to trouble Scott Flinders in the Pools goal.

Jermaine Johnson was the catalyst, showing trademark pace and trickery to jink past three challenges before forcing Flinders into a diving save.

Wednesday continued to ask most of the questions as Hartlepool rarely moved out of their own half and when they did, the visitors found themselves up against a

Match Reports, Reactions, News, Fans Column - All Articles copyright of www.swfc.co.uk

well-drilled backline.

Madine and Neil Mellor worked hard at the other end leading the line, but there was little in terms of clear cut chances for the hosts.

And with half time approaching, everything pointed to a stalemate at the whistle - until the Owls were awarded a penalty on 45 minutes.

Hartlepool skipper Sam Collins tangled with Mellor and the outcome was a spot-kick that Miller dispatched to give the Owls the advantage.

The goal gave Wednesday a timely boost and they started the second half in confident style, with Mellor testing Flinders with a rising effort straight after the resumption.

Mellor then went close with a deflected shot that dipped over the crossbar as the Owls threatened to double their lead.

And they did exactly that on 65 minutes through Madine following excellent work from Johnson down the right.

The Jamaican international showed two defenders a clean pair of heels before teeing up Madine, who shot low and hard Flinders in front of the Kop. From that point on, Hartlepool looked a beaten side as Wednesday completely controlled proceedings, with the only surprise being that they failed to add a third.

Danny Batth came close with a close range header from Gary

Teale’s free kick but by then, three minutes from time, the points were safe to all but end any lingering fears of relegation.

FANS WEEKLY COLUMN

by JC Snugsville

What a delightful afternoon Saturday was. Anybody who remembers the 7-2 win at Turf Moor a few years ago knows all too well that Wednesday sides seem to play a lot better when the pressure is off and the season is done and dusted.

There’s no point bemoaning the way this particular season has gone because the season simply has gone. When it gets to this time of the year and the trees are green and the match day beer gardens are busy it makes you appreciate the fact that football is a hobby at the end of the day and as we are sat there with a cold one there are always countless people worse off and substantially more fed up than us. C’est la vie. Once again pragmatism is the only winner. We are where we are. I really don’t understand what saw us go from 2nd at Christmas to 16th in March but we seem to have found calmer waters somewhat – had we have played like we did against Hartlepool for the first three months of 2011 we would have been sitting pretty in the playoff places at least. Gary Megson should be put on trial for Grand Larceny; because Rob Jones and Danny Baath are an absolute steal – how he managed to tempt the pair to Hillsborough for a guaranteed 18 months of League 1 evades me but arguably had Irvine have had them at his disposal last season we wouldn’t be in League 1 at OWLS NEWS all. Gladly Megson also seems www.swfc.co.uk to have found his favourite Owls defender Rob Jones was front two in Madine and Mellor. delighted with Saturday’s 2-0 win Doesn’t sound quite as daunting over Hartlepool and is keen to have a strong finish to the campaign with as Shearer and Sutton but if they four games remaining. both start regularly and keep The 2-0 success over Pools was the injury free next season then the Owls’ third straight win on home soil, chances are they will surpass following on from the victories over Colchester and Tranmere. the goal scoring exploits of the And Saturday’s performance was much aforementioned ex Blackburn more like what Jones expects from pair.

Gary Megson was pleased with the Owls’ performance as his side registered their third successive home win over Hartlepool on Saturday. oals from Tommy Miller and Gary Madine saw Wednesday safely over the line against a Pools outfit that initially made life difficult for the Owls with a 4-5-1 formation that ended in a 4-4-2 that opened up the game.

Megson said: “I am pleased because not only did we win the game but we did so with honesty and character.

“If you do those kinds of things well, you set yourself up to win games and we did that. We are still a long way from where I want us to be but we are a long way from when I first saw us against MK Dons.

“We did well when Hartlepool played 4-5-1 and even better at 4-4-2 because we passed the ball around the field very well.”

Megson was pleased with individual performances all over the field but picked out loan defender Danny Batth for particular praise.

He said: “I thought Danny was excellent. If every footballer had his approach to the game, life would be a lot easier for managers.

“He is first in in the morning and last off the training field, he does the weights every day and has a terrific attitude.

“He will be the first to say it helps having an experienced player like Rob Jones at his side and they can both be very pleased with their performances today.”
