awarded to the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) to enable it to promote participation in disability sports. South Yorkshire Sport is part of a network of 49 County Sports Partnerships in England working alongside the EFDS and Federation of Disability Sports Organisations (FDSO) in Yorkshire to increase opportunities for disabled athletes to participate and improve in their chosen sport.

Bruce Kelsey, Director of South Yorkshire Sport, said: “An on-going goal for all of us who work in sports development is to widen access and increase participation for disabled and minority groups, so the announcement of this additional funding is welcomed. “We already have a strong relationship with the Federation of Disability Sports organisations and the national governing

bodies who will also receive a share of this new funding. We look forward to working with them to increase participation by disabled athletes from across South Yorkshire.” Sport England chairman, Richard Lewis, said: “Our goal is to get as many more disabled people playing sport and we can only achieve this through a changed approach – one where sports bodies integrate the sport on

time out COPLEYʼS COLUMN This has been another awesome week,

entertainment wise, with the necessary beer intake playing havoc with my diet. Wednesday night has become a must for me at the moment at the Pacific Bar in Chesterfield as the Search for a Star talent competition is really hotting up, with just one more heat before the semifinal on the 17th August, coincidentally my birthday, and the grand final the following week. The standard has been extremely high, and some very good singers have already been eliminated, making judging a nightmare. I was really impressed by an artiste that left last week, Yolande Podgieter, a pretty South African girl with a great voice, who in my humble opinion, should still be in the competition, but I do bow to the superior knowledge of the excellent judges, led by my close friend and managing editor, Andrew Platts. However, it was after the judge’s verdict that Yolande really shone for me. I was sat with the judges after the competition, when Yolande approached, not with the often whinging attitude of the sore loser, but thanking the judges for their comments on the night and previously. This for me was pure class and style, and I understand that her appearance in the competition has already opened some doors for her. I always applaud decent behaviour, and am happy to share it in this column. Well done Yolande and I am sure readers of this column will join me in wishing you much success with your singing career in the future. On Friday, twenty of us, some in fancy dress,

hired a coach to take us to Chatsworth House, where Search for a Star judge, Diana Edwards was appearing with top Abba tribute band Bjorn Again. The weather was beautiful creating a real party atmosphere,much improved by the case of bubbly that we took, and the show, as always, was breath-taking. I was pleased to be name checked from the stage, particularly as I was amongst a crowd of over two thousand. Perhaps my fancy dress outfit (see picture) had something to do with it. This was, because of the entertainment and the wonderful company, one of the more memorable nights of my life. I am a big fan and close friend of Diana Edwards, as is my girlfriend, so a visit to her solo gig on Saturday night at the beautiful re-furbished Butcher’s Arms in Marsh Lane, Eckington was a must. Diana was awesome, showing her versatility with a wide variety of songs and it was also great that Brendan Garretty, always good to listen to, did an extended spot in the middle. We had originally intended to split the night by going to see Junkyard Dog at the Yew Tree, but such was the quality of the entertainment, and the logistics of taxis, we stayed throughout the night. We will be catching up with Junkyard Dog soon however. The football season got off to a flying start for the people of Sheffield with both teams winning, not so for Chesterfield and Doncaster. Barnsley, widely tipped for relegation with Doncaster earned a creditable draw at Nottingham Forest. Sheffield Wednesday are on Sky television on Thursday night against Blackpool in the Carling Cup. This is a bit too near to their hard game at Bournemouth on Saturday but the £100,000 fee from the television rights is always acceptable. The Charity Shield match at Wembley between he two Manchester teams was a great advertisement for English football and also for me as I backed Manchester City to be winning at half time and Manchester United to win the game at ninety minutes at 25/1 On Saturday 20th August, the mayor of Dronfield is holding a night to benefit his charities, the theme being the days of the Fiesta Club, with Bobby Knutt and the Rapids providing the entertainment. Tickets are priced at a tenner, which include a fiesta type meal in a basket and can be obtained from the venue, Hilltop Club, or the desk at the Civic Centre.

Weekly Wit With... ALBERT SNODGRASS

A guy comes home completely drunk one night. He lurches through the door and is met by his scowling wife, who is most definitely not happy. “Where the hell have you been all night?” she demands. “At this fantastic new bar,” he says. “The Golden Saloon. Everything there is golden. It’s got huge golden doors, a golden floor, the works - hell, even the urinal’s gold!” The wife still doesn’t believe his story, and the next day checks the phone book, finding a place across town called the Golden Saloon. She calls up the place to check her husband’s story. “Is this the Golden Saloon?” she asks when the bartender answers the phone. “Yes it is,” bartender answers. “Do you have huge golden doors?” “Sure do.” “Do you have golden floors?” “Most certainly do.” “What about golden urinals?” There’s a long pause, then the woman hears the bartender yelling, “Hey, Duke, I think I got a lead on the guy that pissed in your saxophone last night! A doctor says to his patient, “I have bad news and worse news”. “Oh dear, what’s the bad news?” asks the patient. The doctor replies, “You only have 24 hours to live.” “That’s terrible”, said the patient. “How can the news possibly be worse?” The doctor replies, “I’ve been trying to contact you since yesterday.” A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.” The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

round-up by stuart renton

With the rioting in London this week, talking about anything else seems a missed opportunity. Rioters have destroyed millions of pounds worth of property, ruined businesses, and cut a swathe of destruction across the city and it’s spreading: Birmingham has gone under and Sheffield is surely next in their sights. The whole country wallows in the grip of fear and yet the services have done precious little to curtail this destructive force… and all of this because pop group STEPS are reforming. We’d have been OK if S Club 7 hadn’t said the same last week. I mean, we could have handled one rubbish 90’s pop group but two is a step too far! The riots are being organised on Facebook where each new gathering is being pulled faster than a gay marriage poster at a Christian Rally. The media, acting like an eight year old girl, wants to blame the social networking site, declaring it “the source of all evil”. Everyone’s passing the buck and no one in power is prepared to accept responsibility for what’s going on. For example, the Prime Minster was holidaying in Italy when the call came in. “The locals are revolting!” one aide shouted down the phone. “Yes they are pretty grim,” Cameron replied before setting his mobile to answerphone and going back to ‘business’ with Donna and Chantelle… and Michael*. But while it’s blatantly clear to you and I that the Police are hopelessly ill equipped to handle this crisis, Home Secretary, Theresa May feels otherwise. “We simply don’t need the Army”, she said this morning on the news after rejecting help from the Forces. “We have a robust Police service which will deal swiftly with any uprising.” Yeah. You give ‘em what for, love. A good telling off is sure to stop them rioting. Why not stick Anne Widdecombe on the front line; a glimpse of her tango is a sure fire way to stop any rioter in his tracks! And when I say ‘tango’, I do mean dance. Anything else would be a mental image I don’t think any of us are ready for! Or they could hire Katie Price, whose breasts, I hear, can safely absorb the most powerful projectile splashed across them (which, I hear, has happened plenty of times at parties). Additionally, we could have Kerry Katona and Tara Palmer-Tompkinson on the front lines. Regardless of the outcome, that’s certainly a win-win situation for the country. And they could finally be put to a productive use. More news next week. Keep an eye on the streets! *Allegedly

BATMAN LIVE! Opening in the UK in July 2011, BATMAN LIVE will be playing 8 shows in Sheffield at the Motorpoint Arena from the 10th to the 14th August. BATMAN LIVE is a visually stunning production, complete with a brand new original storyline. The live show will feature Batman, his trusty counterpart Robin, tireless butler Alfred and a host of other favourite Batman characters, including Villains such as The Joker, The Riddler, Catwoman and The Penguin. The story will take place in several settings from the famed DC Comics stories, including Gotham City, Wayne Manor, the Batcave and Arkham Asylum. BATMAN LIVE – a unique action-packed live show – will focus on the story of young Dick Grayson (Robin), a circus performer who loses his parents to organised crime. Faithfully adapted from the DC Comics characters and stories, BATMAN LIVE focuses on Robin’s quest for justice which leads him to follow in the footsteps of his hero, the mysterious vigilante known as the Batman - much to the dismay of his protective guardian, millionaire Bruce Wayne - who secretly happens to be Batman. This dynamic triangle resolves itself in a non-stop thrill-ride across Gotham City that transforms Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson into the legendary crime-fighters Batman and Robin and transports the audience from the Big Top of Haly’s Circus to the lower depths of Arkham Asylum – from the glittering peaks of the Penguin’s Iceberg Lounge to the subterranean wonders that await inside the Batcave, which features a revolutionary, all-new Batmobile designed exclusively for BATMAN LIVE. A dazzling celebration of storytelling and stagecraft, BATMAN LIVE is at its heart an affecting coming of age story. Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson – both orphaned at an early age – must first learn to overcome their own fears and forge their own family – along with Police Commissioner James Gordon and Bruce’s trusted butler, Alfred Pennyworth – if they’re going to survive the combined forces of Batman’s larger-than-life rogues gallery: The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. BATMAN LIVE is based on an original story created exclusively for the show. Creative Director is Anthony van Laast and Co-Director, James Powell. Set design by Es Devlin, music composed by James Brett, sound design by Simon Baker, lighting design by Patrick Woodroffe, video direction by Sam Pattinson, costume design by Jack Galloway. Circus sequences created, produced and managed in association with Circus Space with Bryan Donaldson and Juliette Hardy-Donaldson as circus consultants. Tickets for the Sheffield shows, from 10th until 14th August, are priced £20, £30 & £35, with a limited number of premium Gotham City seats available at £45 (all tickets may be subject booking fee), are now on sale. Tickets are available online at www. motorpointarenasheffield.co.uk, by phone on 0114 256 5656 and in person at the Arena box office .

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Battlefields of Belgium I love going to the battlefields in Iyper, Belgium. It is my favourite place. On this occasion we had travelled there by coach and one of the places we visited was the Vimy Ridge tunnels. It was in these tunnels that I encountered a ghost. I was at the back of the group, looking at the floor and watching my footing. I noticed a shadow first and then there stood a small man dressed in an army uniform. He explained ‘I am Ronny the runner.’ In his hand he held a canister which contained vital information that he needed to deliver. He was only present for about a minute. I took a photo of the place where he stood and it shows an Orb. The next destination was Essex Farm Graveyard. We were shown three bunkers which were used as a temporary theatre. When I entered one of the bunkers I heard a voice exclaim ‘they are falling off the bloody roof.’ I spun around to see a man with red hair, wearing a bloodstained apron. I was lost for words. After the trip I did some research and I managed to find out who the man was. A photo of him came up on my computer screen and I knew instantly it was the same man that had shouted. His name was John McCrae and he penned the poem ‘In Flanders Fields’.

as a shock to her family. There was a disagreement about whether the Mum should be buried or cremated. The eldest son made the decision to have his mum cremated. He had said to his sister (the lady who came for the reading)‘it’s better she is cremated like dad, be-sides I live too far away to be visiting her grave.’ Later, however, it was discovered that their Mum had left instructions to be buried along with conditions. The sister was then full of remorse. Mum came through eventually and said ‘I heard every word he said it’s not your fault. It doesn’t matter anyway my soul is at rest.’ The conditions of the will stated that if they did not bury Mum all her money would go to charity. The will was contested because the family did not have the instructions when they made the decision. They were left with a neighbour who was in hospital after a stroke. I never found out if they received their inheritance.

I went to a client’s house to do a psychic reading, she wanted answers about her partner and her business. We sat at the table when something brushed against my legs. I looked down to see two cats, one black, the other white. I said to the girl ‘have you just lost your cats?’ She replied that she had. They were both run over a week apart. ‘You know the rescue kittens that you have been looking at, they want you to have them’ I told her. She said ‘good god, how did you know that?’ I explained that the cats had put that thought into my head. The client was very happy to know that her cats were still roaming her house. The day after she adopted two rescue cats.

You love to explore, and if you can go on a nature trail, visit a place of natural beauty, a lake, river or the sea, then do. An art exhibition can also inspire you. You are going to be soaking up new experiences really vividly. Call now for more news and astral advice…

Sociable interaction with friends comes from you taking the lead. Your popularity is high. However, joint ﬁnances need more care. If one of you is more inclined to bend the plastic, it may upset harmony. If not, you can be happily loved up. Call now for your ﬁnancial scope…

Someone is turning out to be great fun, and that person can be you. You do have serious, methodical and focused sides but when you let go, your earthy sense of fun is a great quality. This can stand you in good stead in business and romantically. Call me for more advice…

You may be tempted to pick up everything that’s on special offer, but there are other ways to save money. Here are 10 ways to reduce your grocery bill and eat healthily. 1. Avoid buying on impulse. Plan your meals a few days ahead, make a list before you go shopping and stick to it. That way you don’t buy too much. 2. Look up and down the shelves to find cheaper products when you go to the supermarket. Shelves at eye level usually contain the more expensive items. 3. Swap branded products for the supermarket’s own brand. 4. Buy fruit and vegetables that are in season. On the whole, fruit and vegetables that are grown in the UK are cheaper than imported produce. 5. Buy frozen and tinned fruit and vegetables as well. They cost less than the fresh. All types of fruit and vegetables, whether fresh, chilled, frozen, canned, bottled or dried, count towards the recommended five daily portions. Read more tips on getting your 5 A DAY on a budget at http:// www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Pages/ Tencheapways.aspx 6. Look out for two-for-one offers on foods that keep, such as pasta, rice, cereals (choose wholegrain options as they contain more fibre) and tins of pulses or tomatoes. 7. Check sell by dates. Supermarkets reduce prices on products that are close to their sell by date. This can be a great way of picking up bargains, but before you fill your trolley, be sure that you’ll eat or cook everything you buy before it goes off. 8. If you shop online, use a supermarket comparison website to see which supermarkets offer the best prices for the products you want to buy. 9. Cut down on ready meals, especially if you’re feeding two or more people. Ready meals are often high in salt, sugar or fat. Making your own meals is not only healthier, but works out much cheaper. 10.Buy cheaper cuts of meat, such as shoulder of lamb instead of leg of lamb, or chicken thighs and drumsticks instead of breasts.

101 is the number to call when you want to contact your local police - when it’s less urgent than 999. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Find out how you can use it and if it is available in your area. Where is the 101 service available? The 101 service is currently available in the following areas: • Wales • Hampshire and the Isle of Wight • London • Essex • Sussex • Hertfordshire • Sheffield 101 will be available across all areas of England and Wales by the end of January 2012. If you have a non-emergency problem to report but the 101 service is not available in your area, you should contact your local police force. What you can report using 101 Call 101 to contact the police to report less urgent crime and disorder or to speak to your local officers. For example, call 101: • if your car has been stolen • if your property has been damaged • if you suspect drug use or dealing in your local area • to report a minor traffic accident • to give the police information about crime in your area • to speak to the police about a general enquiry In Sheffield, you can also call 101 if you have problems with: • vandalism and graffiti • noise nuisance • abandoned vehicles • dumping and fly tipping • broken street lighting When you should use 999 instead In an emergency always call 999. You should call 999 if: • a crime is in progress • someone suspected of a crime is nearby • there is danger to life • violence is being used or threatened If you call 101 but are reporting an emergency, you will be directed to the 999 service. Cost: what you will be charged if you call 101 Calls to 101 (from both landlines and mobiles) cost 15 pence per call no matter what time of day you call, or how long you are on the phone. Who will answer my 101 call? Calls to 101 are answered by police call handlers in the control room of your local police force. When you call 101, the system will automatically connect you to your local police force. You will hear a recorded message telling you which force you are being connected to. If you are on the boundary between two or more forces, you will have a choice of which force you are connected to. Calling 101 if you have speech or hearing impairments If you are in a 101 area and have a speech or hearing impairment, you can textphone 18001 101. How to report general nuisance or environmental issues You should still call your local council for issues like: • reporting graffiti • dog fouling • abandoned vehicles • dumping and fly tipping • vandalism

THE PEOPLEʼS PINT

At the Great British Beer Festival last week, CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, has welcomed the Government’s decision to introduce a 50% excise duty reduction on beers at or below 2.8% ABV from October 2011 in a move that will allow consumers to enjoy a lower priced and lower strength pint in their local. CAMRA predicts the introduction of low strength beers – dubbed the ‘People’s Pints’ - in pubs could be a huge boost to the licensed trade in light of new consumer research – out today - showing how 1 in 2 regular pub goers would like to see more pubs selling a low strength beer option. Building on the success of a campaign which CAMRA has been leading since 2009, further new research has shown how pub goers would like to see more pubs selling low strength beers due to factors

such as the ability to help regulate drinking levels, their more refreshing taste, their low calorie content, and their lower cost. CAMRA estimates that someone drinking a pint in a pub could save 50p per pint if they choose a lower strength beer compared to an average 4% ABV bitter. Mike Benner, CAMRA’s Chief Executive, said: ‘On the basis of today’s research, CAMRA believes the introduction of a low strength beer option in pubs could be a great selling point for all licensees looking to offer diversity and choice to their customers, as well as making it easier to regulate their drinking. ‘Brewers are proving it is wholly possible to brew a low strength real ale packed with ﬂavour, and as we’ve emphasised before, introducing the ‘People’s Pint’ into pubs is a win-win scenario for both the industry and Government in promoting a responsible drinking message. ‘Lower strength beers also offer a great choice to the health-conscious consumer as they have fewer calories than stronger drinks, so there’s no need to ditch your pint if you are counting the calories and research has shown that they are effective in rehydrating***. With lower strength real ales you have a product that is natural, refreshing, and can be part of

a healthy lifestyle. ‘A lower rate of duty on lower strength beers is a win-win scenario for the industry and for Government and CAMRA is urging the Government to call for the EU Excise Directives to be amended to enable beers up to 3.5% to benefit from a reduced rate of duty. This would provide a great boost for community pubs and responsible drinking.’ On the eve of the Great British Beer Festival CAMRA conducted a taste test to find out whether beer experts could differentiate between a low and mid strength real ale. In a tasting consisting of real ales from 2% to 3.5% ABV, even a panel of experienced drinkers did not manage to correctly differentiate the products. As part of its continued campaigning, CAMRA is calling on the Government to extend the announced duty relief rate up to 3.5% ABV. Bearing in mind 19 different British real ales will be on show throughout the Festival week at or below 3.5% ABV, CAMRA is inviting consumers to come down and see for themselves the amount of flavour packed into low strength beers by Britain’s skilled craftsmen, and conduct their own taste tests.

DRINKING HABITS

POPULAR PINT Stephen Fry has been voted the most popular person to have a pint of real ale with at the Great British Beer Festival. Over 600 people voted for the person they would most like to enjoy a pint with at the beer festival and Mr Fry stood head and shoulders over other TV celebrities, politicians, royalty, sportsman and other illustrious ﬁgures. Some of the reasons for why beer lovers chose the well educated TV legend included: “The quipping would be as good as the quafﬁng.” “He’s a very knowledgeable man who would appreciate the delights of Real Ale” “His wit and humour would make it a perfect accompaniment to a perfect pint of Ale!” “Because he would give an anecdote whilst supping a good pint.” Unsurprisingly, the charismatic Oliver Reed was voted 2nd. Top Gear presenter James May was voted 3rd, with Winston Churchill and Brian Blessed making up the top 5. The women with the highest votes were Kate Middleton and Lady Gaga, who shared 11th spot with David Cameron.

VOICE OF THE NIGHTINGALE

For the last few weeks I’ve been calling in at Shefﬁeld Trades & Labour Club for this year’s “Trade’s got Talent!” Many of the acts have been very impressive – particularly bearing in mind that many of them have never been on a stage before! Hosted by well-known local entertainers Sue & Paul, I had the honour last week of being asked to judge. What a great night out – seven acts, bingo and tote – all for free entrance, and a great bunch of friendly people to greet you! One last word – a great reply from Shaun in last week’s Scene page – keep up the good work to “Save our Working Men’s Clubs!” Paul (Rocky Horror)

CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington

The First World War brought many tragic losses and the curtailing of licensing hours at that time meant that it was more difﬁcult for people to drown their sorrows, at least legally. Those in power felt that the lower orders needed their drinking habits kept in check. Fortunately we did not suffer the extreme laws (and extremely stupid if I may say) of the USA with its prohibition of alcohol. The majority of members in working men’s clubs drank sensibly, most of the time at least, and within their means. Drink was cheaper in clubs because the need to provide proﬁt for publicans and breweries wasn’t there. Club drinkers knew what they liked and what they could afford. Beer or ale was the most common tipple with spirits being only for special occasions such as New Year, Christmas, birthdays and funerals. There were differences between the drinking habits of men and women as well in the early clubs that allowed women in. Some didn’t and wives were left outside in the alleyway with their drink while their husbands supped inside. Those who were allowed in had clearly demarcated spaces for them just as in pubs. The ‘snug’, a small bar in a pub, would be replicated in many clubs and was mainly for women. Club games rooms were often out of bounds for them. Women who drank a lot were considered a bit ‘rough’ but some did nevertheless and took their kids along as well. The Mass Observation Studies of ‘Worktown’ of the 1930s considered the economic reasons for these patterns. They deemed it was too expensive for a working man to pay for his wife’s drinks all night and often their drinks cost more. Women didn’t generally ‘stand a round.’ One would be bought for them early in the evening and another later on. It was viewed as more “respectable” for women to drink bottled beer, mostly stout or Guinness. Some women may have turned their noses up at draft beer but when times were hard, they would have to. Draft beer was cheaper and married women were more likely to drink that once their ‘courting’ days were over. Young women still ‘courting’ could be a bit more choosy with their boyfriends paying for their drinks but after marriage and the arrival of children, this changed. Women would not usually be expected to buy a round which did put pressure on their menfolk but women could make a drink last longer. Men and women would usually separate upon arrival in a club, going to their different ‘territories’ but coming together later on in the evening when the husband would make sure his wife had a drink. As women gained more independence and economic power in the post-war years, their drinking habits changed along with young people’s, with drinks being invented especially for them. We will look at the contemporary drinking scene next week.

V FESTIVAL PREVIEW by KT Evans

Y NOT FESTIVAL REVIEW by KT Evans

A salute to the front runners within the UK pop charts, the annual V Festival and all round main stream musical lovers heaven is to be held on 19th – 21st August. Split between Hylands Park in Chelmsford and Westerns Park in Staffordshire, this year’s event looks to be bigger, better and much much louder than ever before, with acts covering a wide spectrum of music tastes and preferences. With four major headliners and a whole host of chart topping bands and groups on the bill, V Festival has gone all out to make its fifteenth year in running one not to forget. Revolutionary rapper Eminem aka Marshall Mathers aka Slim Shady (Depol must have had a field day!) is conscripted to play, a major highlight of the hugely anticipated weekend. A successful amount of number ones under his belt…seven in the UK if we’re counting, Eminem has not only brought rap music to the mainstream masses, but has also tried his hand at acting, staring alongside Kim Bassinger and Brittney Murphy in the semi-autobiographical ‘8 Mile.’ Talk about having your fingers in many pies! S&M fan Rihanna is to perform also at V, arguably the biggest female pop star within the charts at the moment. Famed for her outlandish manner and quirky yet cool strange presence, the twenty three year old Barbados born RiRi has sold over twenty million albums and sixty million records since her career propelled at the age of sixteen. Singer aswell as accomplished songwriter, Rihanna has an extensive back catalogue of anthemic numbers to soft ballads resulting in a diversely popular female vocalist. Also on the bill…our local lads Arctic Monkeys! All hail Sheffield! Since their formation in 2002, Arctic Monkeys have gone from strength to strength, with headlining tours and festival appearances coming as standard to the four-piece. Fresh from their hometown return gigs back in June as part of their World Tour, Alex, Matt, Jamie and Nick have recently released their fourth studio album ‘Suck it and See,’ a satirically ironic work of rock ‘n’ roll. Cracking stage personas and a raw distinct sound pretty much sums the Arctic Monkeys up, a sure gig not to be missed at this year’s V Festival. The final headliner of the weekend is to be London born Plan B. Emerging as a hip hop artist in 2006, Benjamin Drew went onto release the massive 2010 Defamation of Strictland Banks, which took a much more soulful alley way into the UK Charts. Going straight to number one, Plan B have had a year of chart topping hits such as ‘The Recluse’ and ‘She Said’ to carry this diversely talented musician onto the main stage at V Fest.

Contrary to the popular belief that the bigger the music festival, the better, Y Not Festival turns this statement upside down on so many levels. Centred around Pikehall near Matlock, the early August weekend not only draws music lovers in from across the peak district, but also brings to life that special festival fever that so many have caught so far this year. Although still relatively small time, Y Not Festival is not held back by its own quantity or size with headlining acts to rival many of the larger scale music events. The Big Gin stage on Friday 5th August saw The Go Team and The Rifles headline, who were clearly not phased by either the marauds of country folk or the size of the main stage. Combining together a striking light show along-side intricately catchy lead guitar riffs, The Go Team pushed for the top spot which in turn produced the best performance of the night. The middle Saturday played host to Feeder and New Yong Pony Club on the Big Gin Stage, however the modestly sized stage The Quarry witnessed Beardyman perform, a certified favourite for modern day music lovers across the country. Well known for bringing Dub Step into the firing line, Beardyman cranked up the decibels with an eclectic mix of explosive tracks, clearly rubbing off onto the youthfully energetic audience. With speculation Y Not had kept the best till last, Sunday 7th August saw indie rockers Maximo Park grace Big Gin. Formed in 2000, the band have released three critically acclaimed studio albums alongside countless main stage festival appearances. Failing not to deliver on a big scale, the five piece clearly demonstrated their passion and love for music with lead singer Paul Smith keeping up the pace throughout the hour long set. Second headliners and main support for Maximo Park; the controversial Brother. Famed for their outspoken, arrogant nature (‘Florence Welsh looks like a man in a wig’ in a recent NME interview) it was evident they relished the hype they spark, with Slough’s answer to Simon Cowell, lead vocalist Leonard Newell living up to his cocky reputation whilst on stage. Having said this however, whether you love them or hate them, Brother’s music has moments of Oasis in tracks such as ‘Darling Buds of May’ which they performed with grit and edginess on the night. Shortlisted in 2010 for the ‘Best Small Festival’ at the annual UK Festival Awards, Y Not effectively pools together music lovers and bands, creating a cocoon of breath-taking views alongside cracking music. With more than enough room to prosper and grow (acres of it infact) it’s easy to image the event hitting it big time. Y Not ey?!

FISHING IN THE FENS

WEEKLY

We Welcome all Anglers to

Send Your Local Sports News to info@mercurynewspaper.co.uk

Angler’s Corner by Clint Walker

This weather gets me down; I wish it would make up its mind whether to thunder, rain, shine or whatever, but just do one of them! The fish don’t seem keen either, many of the reports I regularly receive for my column in national weekly CarpTalk magazine have dried up as the fish stop feeding, so I hope you have caught more than most! I did take advantage of a reasonable spell of sunshine to go for a picnic with my wife and son to Dovedale in the heart of the Peak District this week. What’s that got to with fishing though? Well, unknown to my wife, I deliberately wanted to go to Dovedale to ‘fishwatch’ just like all anglers do; if I have to miss a day’s angling, then I want the next best thing! As we sat by the cool, clear river, the ducks arrived; obviously used to getting fed by tourists, the ducks quacked noisily as they floated en masse in front of our chosen spot. My lad is thirteen, but still enjoys chucking bread at ducks, so he was absentmindedly lobbing a few crusts in when I saw a flash under water as a HUGE trout grabbed a few crumbs from directly under the ducks! I was extremely surprised to see this as I know that trout are very shy fish, especially in such clear waters and wondered if it was a solitary fish. I chucked in a spicy pakora; same thing. The same big trout shot out of the deeper water to hoover up the bits missed by the ducks, but this time I noticed a couple of others just behind it.... Over the next few minutes, my wife Dawn also noticed the fish and asked excitedly if I had seen them? I told her I had been watching for some time, but by now, she was also avidly hunting for trout. Dawn doesn’t fish, and it’s always nice to get her interested in what I enjoy, so we both looked into the water to see what else was about. To cut a long story short, the trout had obviously learned that by following the ducks, there were scraps to be had; it didn’t matter what we threw in, the trout would take what was left over regardless of how much curry powder was in it. By the time we ran out of food (and realised we were all still hungry!) we could see around a dozen trout between 10ozs and 3lbs rooting through the bottom weed and grubbing up the silt in an effort to find the last morsels. The thing is, not once did the trout move away if they saw me stand above the skyline, or if my shadow crossed the water. If you have heard of Pavlov, then these were his trout, conditioned to feed on free grub thrown in every day during summer regardless of what it is or how close to the bank. It certainly made me think about my fishing; find a food they are used to, put in a place they are confident in and you will catch! Easy really.......so why do I blank so often??

GOLF TOURS

Racing Form

by Timelord

This weekend’s TV action looks pretty daunting as there are some really competitive races on offer. Starting at Newbury: 2.00 CGA Ladies Day Handicap, 7 furlongs, 3yo+ rated A tightly knit handicap where there are many chances can go the way of recent winner Directorship who can follow up his Ascot win, chiefly at the expense of another last time out winner in Joe Packet. There are plenty of dangers however. If getting a run Maraaja would head the list, closely followed by: Icelandic; Space Station; Golden Desert; My Kingdom; and Mahadee. Other potential dangers that still need a few to come out before being certain of getting a run are: Rigolleto; Local Singer; Sonning Rose; Quarrel and Slugsy Morant. 2.30 Denford Stud Stakes (Listed as The Washington Singer Stakes), 7 furlongs, 2yo, Listed: My top rating here goes to Barry Hills’ Self Centred, followed closely by Telwaar and Elkhart (who was disappointing at Goodwood but could bounce back on this more suitable track). Self Centred ran third to Maybe at Royal Ascot, form that would give her every chance at this level, but I am reluctant to select the top rated as she has yet to win a race and was beaten a fair way last time. Richard Hannon’s Montjeu colt, Rougemont, a winner on his debut, is open to plenty of improvement and is not easily passed over but the selection is Lunar Deity, a five length winner last time out who looks as though he has now got the hang of things. He has to turn round a nine length beating by Mister Music from Sandown running but could do so now that he has learned what the game is about. 3.05 CGA Geoffrey Freer Stakes , 3yo+, 13+ furlongs, Cavalryman is my top rated but looks to have become unreliable and, for that reason, is easily passed over. Second best is my selection, Roger Varian’s All the Aces who is just ahead of the consistent Harris Tweed, Mores Wells and Claremont. David Lanigan’s Meeznah won well at Goodwood and would figure highly on the danger list if turning out, as would Times Up, Halicarnassus, Chiberta King and Polly’s Mark who are all running well at present. However, if able to get into the race, the chief threat may emerge from Mark Johnston’s improving 3yo Colour Vision who went down narrowly to Keys at Ascot recently. 3.40 CGA Hungerford Stakes, 3yo+, 7 furlongs, Clive Cox has a strong hand with his three entries in this one – Beacon Lodge (my top rated), Balthazaar’s Gift (my fifth best) and Perfect Tribute (my eighth best). Richard Hannon also has three entries however - Dick Turpin (my fourth top and a winner last time), Strong Suit (tenth best) and Dubawi Gold. From jockey bookings it looks as though Strong Suit is their most favoured but I prefer the chances of Dick Turpin who has the class and CV to score. Barry Hills also has a couple of entries with live chances in Red Jazz (my second best rated) and Prime Defender (my third best rated who won last time out at Haydock). Godolphin also have three entries and cannot be discounted either. In a race where there are many with good chances I am giving the vote to course and distance winner Dick Turpin because I think he has enough class to see him through. Newmarket: 2.15 Live in-play football on Skybet Mobile Fillies’ Nursery, 7furlongs, 2yo, Class 2: In what looks like a wide open contest at first glance I am giving a fairly confident nod in the direction of Mark Brisbourne’s Silvas Romana, although this is a pretty competitive event. Last time out she beat Worth by three quarters of a length at Chepstow, keeping on well over 6 furlongs on good to soft going. The time of the race was pretty good and she looks to have further improvement to come over this extra furlong. Her chief rival looks like being David Simcock’s Emirates Art, another last time out winner who ran over 6 furlongs on soft ground at Yarmouth last time but could be suited by this extra furlong. Self Centred (also entered at Newbury), Esentepe and Monessa look best of the rest. 2.45 Skybet Grey Horse Handicap (for grey horses only), 6 furlongs, 3yo+ rated 0-85: Last year’s winner Witchry, a winner last time out, comes here with every chance, as does the previous year’s victor, Sarah’s Art who may have a little in hand of Witchry on running in 2009. However, I prefer the chances of a couple of others. My top rated is Michael Attwater’s Sunshine Always who looks to have a sound chance here. Second best is Tadalavil who needs some to come out before getting a run. Clear Ice is on a roll having won his last two, has the assistance of Keiren Fallon and will be a danger to all. However, the one with the best time performance last time out and who looks to be reaching a peak at the right time is Julia Feilden’s 3yo Emma’s Gift who earns a narrow vote to lift this prize with the aid of 3lb claiming jockey Adam Beschizza. 3.20 Premier League Kick-off on Skybet Mobile Stakes (Handicap), 6 furlongs, 3yo rated 0-105: In another wide-open event I am giving the vote to Kevin Ryan’s improving Louis the Pious. Winner of his last three races he looks to be on an upward curve and should take all the beating here. Sir Mark Prescott’s Coeus won a valuable handicap over course and distance last time and looks to be his main rival, although the others chasing back-to-back wins or hat tricks (Blanche Dubawi, Levitate, Manoori and Cape Classic) also look to hold decent chances. Of the rest Rothesay Chancer, Flynn’s Boy, Elusivity, Namwahjobo and Bertiewhittle are at the right end of the handicap to prove troublesome if getting into the race, while Bathwick Bear, Bless You and Masaya also offer sound credentials. Ripon: 3.30 William Hill Great St Wilfrid Stakes (Handicap), 6 furlongs, 3yo+: At present there are 50 entries declared with only 14 getting to run. Of those out of the certain runner category Valery Borzov would be most interesting if getting into the race. He probably needs too many to drop out however and so is passed over. Similar remarks can be made about Damika, Baldemar, Arganil, Ginger Ted, Joseph Henry, Hotham, Rasaman, Mon Brav and Saucy Brown. However, David Omeara’s Pepper Lane is a certain runner, is at the top of her game right now and can land the hat trick by taking this prestigious event. She may have most to fear from Captain Ramius, another scorer last time out. 2.00 Directorship, Joe Packet, Maraaja, Icelandic, Space Station, Golden Desert

Millers and Rovers News & Reviews 2011/12

MILLERS NEWS 2011/12 GRABBEN GRABS MILLERS WIN MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk

The Millers got their 2011-2012 campaign off to a great start with a 1-0 win against hotlytipped Oxford United. A debut goal from Lewis Grabban early in the second half was enough for the Millers, who will now look forward to entertaining Leicester City in the Carling Cup on Tuesday evening. Andy Scott gave league debuts to Conrad Logan, Troy Brown, Danny Schofield, Chris Holroyd and Grabban for the season curtain raiser against the Us. The Millers made a lively start and pushed the visitors back during the opening five minutes, with Grabban in particular causing problems down the left. Despite the positive start it was Oxford who missed the first chance of the game. Full back Damian Batt whipped in a devilish cross from the right, but James Constable glanced wide from eight yards when he should have done better. A minute later and Oxford should have been in front. Another cross from the right found Asa Hall in the box but his header cannoned back off the post straight to Michael Duberry, who could only clip the rebound over the bar. After a quiet spell, the Millers threatened again on 23 minutes. Grabban was again involved, this time crossing from the right and finding the head

of Holroyd, but his header lacked power and was comfortably grasped by Ryan Clarke. On 34 minutes it was Holroyd trying his luck again, this time smashing his shot straight at an Oxford defender from 20 yards. Last season Ryan Cresswell was a constant threat at set-plays, and he carried that threat into the new campaign, when he met Schofield’s corner but Clarke tipped his bullet header over the bar. The Millers enjoyed the perfect start to the second half and took the lead through a debut goal from Grabban. He picked the ball up on the edge of the penalty area and looped the ball over a helpless Clarke from 20 yards. The goal seemed to inspire the Millers, and on 50 minutes a neat one-two between Grabban and Adam Le Fondre allowed the Millers’ top scorer for the last two seasons a chance at goal, but he fired into the side netting. Oxford came close to levelling the scores on 63 minutes after the Millers struggled to clear a corner. Liam Davis crossed from the left wing and Constable drilled a volley across the face of goal, but Deane Smalley failed to connect with the goal at his mercy. The majority of the second half was a tight affair, with neither side able to test the opposition’s goalkeeper. Logan was largely untested in the Millers’ goal, and Gareth Evans came closest to adding a second for the Millers with a rasping drive from 30 yards that sailed over the crossbar. Substitute Peter Leven caught the Millers napping with three minutes remaining, but he was unable to hit the target from a narrow angle under pressure from Logan, who was quickly off his line. In the final minute, Grabban almost doubled his tally after latching onto a flick on by Le Fondre, but Clarke made a smart save low to his right.

ROVERS NEWS 2011/12 ROVERS LET LEAD SLIP IN BRIGHTON MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

The Rovers were at Brighton to play the opening game of the new season and the first League game at Brighton’s new ground. The pitch was well grassed, with a mixture of natural and artificial turf so a good game is expected with both teams renowned for their reliance on good football. There was also a crowd of 20,219 in attendance. Defending the South Stand end in front of their supporters the Rovers got the game underway and went straight on to the attack, with Spurr’s cross from the left being well caught by Ankergren. Sharp then had a go from 25yards but the keeper saved going down to his left and then Mason hit a half volley from outside of the area that was deflected for a corner, all in the first five minutes. In the 7th minute Oster received the first caution of the season for a foul on Mackail-Smith. From the free kick in a central position about 30 yards out LuaLua’s shot was delected for a corner to the home team followed by another to the home team then in the space of two minutes the Rovers won three successive corners without any end result. The corner saga ended in the 15th minute with one for the home team. Again no end product. Four minutes later and a good cross from the right by Coppinger was collected by Sharp, who made room for himself before shooting wide from 12yards. Spurr was then cautioned for a foul on Lua Lua before Oster fired wide from distance. In the 28th minute came a flashpoint when Lua Lua was booked for diving in the Rovers penalty area. So incensed was Gus Poyet, the home team manager that he gave a tremendous kick to the water bucket before having a go at the officials. Mr Ilderton then sent him to the stand. The Rovers were more than holding their own up to this point. However, a mistake in the Rovers defence in the 36th minute let in Ashley Barnes, who had only to slot it past Woods from close range but the keeper got something on it only to see the ball rolling past him for the goal-line but Friend appeared and cleared. Pressing hard Mackail-Smith then headed over from a cross from the home right. Surviving this Coppinger robbed Dicker in midfield inside the home half, the ball bounced loose, Mason picked it up and shot for goal but his shot was deflected to SHARP, who slotted in in from ten yards. Minutes later Sharp had another go from 25yards but put high and wide and Dicker, from a similar distance hit a terrific shot but straight at Woods, who saved comfortably. The Rovers had looked comfortable on the ball and had played well throughout the half. The home team came out and put the pressure on straight from the kick off and kept it on but only had a couple of corners to show for it, the second of which produced a chip shot from Bridcutt that Woods

held easily. In the 52nd minute the Rovers broke the shackles and played the ball to Sharp in the home half but Dunk came in with a tackle from behind that saw Sharp carried off on a stretcher. The Brighton player was booked. Giles Barnes replaced Sharp and he was immediately in the action when he headed the free kick wide. On the hour Mackail-Smith had a glorious chance when when a header found him in space. He took it on but fired wide from 12 yards with only Woods to beat. At the other end a corner to the Seagulls came out to Ashley Barnes but he put wide of the far post from the angle of the penalty area. Five minutes later and Painter crossed from the left for Mackail-Smith to head over. Brighton were still having more of the play but the Rovers were defending well. In the 79th minute Dicker went down the home rightand passed inside to Mackail-Smith, who fired at goal where Woods pushed it away and Dumbuya completed the clearance. Two minutes later a corner to the home team was headed out to Bridcutt who blasted over the bar. Then in the 83rd minute a cross came into the Rovers area but was only headed out to BUCKLEY on the right of the penalty area about 15yards out. He hit a real ‘daisy-cutter’ just inside the near post for the equaliser. The Rovers tried to hit back but Gillett’s shot was weak and easily saved. Noone then had a go for the home team but Woods saved. Then calamity for the Rovers. Hayter was injured and carried off on a stretcher leaving the Rovers with ten men just a minute after they had made their final substitution. According to the referee the time taken up by the two injuries had mounted up to 7 minutes because that was what was added on. Thus, it came about in the 95th minute that BUCKLEY was put clear down their left. Taking the ball on he calmly slotted past Woods into the far corner of the net for a winning goal.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 OWLS OFF TO WINNING START MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Wednesday were off to a flyer as the new League 1 campaign kicked off on Saturday. Goals either side of half time from Rob Jones and David Prutton gave the Owls a 2-0 victory over a gallant Rochdale side. The Lancashire outfit gave a good account of themselves in the S6 sunshine but Gary Megson’s men had the edge and ran out deserved winners. Dale, under the new management of Steve Eyre, asked the first question inside four minutes when Nicky Adams’ precise effort from 12 yards was deflected wide by Lewis Buxton after good work down the right by Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro. But Wednesday soon settled into their stride and played some nice football around the middle of the park, with Prutton at the heart of the action. The summer signing sent Gary Madine in on goal with a delicious through ball but keeper Jake Kean was off his line swiftly to smother the danger. But the Owls did make the breakthrough on 16 minutes. Julian Bennett launched a long throw into the mix and Jones was on

hand to power a bullet header high into the Leppings Lane net. Chris Sedgwick drilled in a daisycutter that fell just wide moments after the restart as the Owls maintained the upper hand. Wednesday might have doubled their lead ten minutes before half time when Kean spilled Sedgwick’s deep free kick but Clinton Morrison slipped at the vital moment of purchase and the chance was gone. Buxton sent in another delivery to the back stick moments before the break that Sedgwick diverted narrowly over the bar and the Owls ﬁnished the ﬁrst half squarely in the driving seat. Rochdale needed an improved performance after the break and certainly came out of the traps with more purpose. Akpa Akpro forced Nicky Weaver into a smart low save before the visitors came within a whisker of equalising on the hour. Ashley Grimes turned on the edge of the box and attempted a curler into the top corner but the ball bounced back into play off the post. But the Owls hit back and came close themselves only to be denied by a lick of paint as Buxton’s header from a Sedgwick corner bounced off the deck and hit the crossbar. Wednesday pressed on and deservedly went two to the good on 71 minutes. Sedgwick’s corner was cleared to the edge of the area, where Prutton was waiting to slam home a wonderful dipping volley to put the game out of Rochdale’s reach.

Gary Megson reflected on the Owls’ opening-day win over Rochdale and expressed his delight at what he tagged a ‘full house’. Wednesday posted a 2-0 win over the Lancashire side to seal a winning start and Megson said: “It was a very good day because we scored our first goal, got our first point, first clean sheet and first win. “That’s a full house and great to get on the first day. I thought we were very good today, we said to the players what we wanted out of the first game and got the lot. “It was something that Howard Wilkinson instilled into us when I was a player and we were fortunate enough to get all those things today.” Megson was also pleased with the goalscoring contribution of Rob Jones and David Prutton, plus the work rate all over the park, adding: “We told the players what we expect, not necessarily as individuals but the positions that they play from. “Rob is always good for a goal from a set piece and what a strike that was from David. “So we had that today, we had the effort and we have the result. “The crowd will always respond to effort, desire and honesty for the shirt the supporters are wearing in the stands. “It’s a good start on its own but Wednesday had that last year and look what happened. It doesn’t indicate anything other than what it is and that is a good start.”

SHEFFIELD UNITED NEWS 2011/12 BLADES TAKE ALL THE POINTS MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

Two goals in six minutes ensured United recorded a victory on the opening day of the season for the first time since 2005. Goals from teenager Harry Maguire and the experienced Richard Cresswell - both created by Stephen Quinn - secured the victory at Oldham Athletic. A total of 3,597 Blades fans almost made up half of the attendance at Boundary Park as Danny Wilson began life as United boss with a victory. Manager Wilson’s first competitive selection included new boys Jean-Francois, Flynn and Porter in the starting XI, whilst winger Mendez-Laing, signed on Friday on a six-month loan deal from Wolves, was on the bench. The Blades began with a standard 4-4-2 formation and won two early corners but the game’s first chance dropped to the home side on five minutes but Reid was unable to capitalise on Winchester’s mazy run. Cresswell and Porter both fizzed in crosses which were not met and a 12-yard header from Collins was comfortable for home goalkeeper Cisak. On 23 minutes, after a period of pressure, Jean-Francois fired in a shot which shaved the top of the Oldham crossbar and a moment later, at the other end, M’Voto powerfully headed over Lund’s cross. Flynn was denied a shooting chance by a double block from Lund and Diamond and then Jean-Francois was the first in the book, possibly unluckily, as he was he last in a line of niggling fouls from both sides. Lowton was also yellow carded soon after, for wrestling with Taylor. Just before the break the home side went close twice. Black’s deep cross was perfect for Smith, but his header was straight at Simonsen, whilst Taylor attacked from a central position but his 20-yard effort flew over the crossbar. If Oldham were hoping that they were going to remain on top at the start of the second half they were sadly mistaken as United grasped the lead with the first effort after the break. Referee Drysdale awarded the Blades a

corner in front of the travelling contingent and from Quinn’s outswinger, MAGUIRE rose highest to head beyond the reach of Cisak. The players celebrated with the fans and Quinn was mysteriously booked, presumably for being over-zealous. Flynn’s shot was smothered by Cisak as Oldham made a meal of dealing with a Quinn pass but the latter was involved again as the Blades added a second on 54 minutes. Porter spotted Quinn’s run and the Irishman, in space on the left, waited and picked his moment to slide in a low cross which CRESSWELL bundled home, despite the attentions of two Oldham defenders. The quick-fire goals took the sting out of Oldham for a period and they had to wait until the 70th minute before creating another chance - Furman rifling over from a right-wing corner. Wilson introduced Williamson for Flynn on the right but Oldham went close again soon after. From Lund’s corner, Smith won the initial header and then Diamond deflected the ball onto the roof of the net. United hit back with Lowton linking up with Cresswell before firing just wide and the homegrown defender saved a certain goal when he cleared off the line from M’Voto’s header with 11 minutes remaining. Bogdanovic had already replaced Porter and the substitutes combined to almost claim a third. Williamson’s ball forward was spilled by Cisak but the goalkeeper recovered to block Bogdanovic’s shot. Jean-Francois kicked away Millar’s goalbound shot and Black fired wide as time began to run out for the home side. Williamson was booked late on, possibly because of Taylor’s reaction to the challenge, but it failed to take the shine off the victory. In fact, the sun, normally associated with the opening day of the season, had finally peaked out from between the clouds to greet the final whistle. Oldham: Cisak, M’Voto, Black, Diamond, Furman, Reid (Parker 60), Smith, Taylor, Lee, Lund, Winchester (Millar 66). Unused: Gerrard, Brooke, Mellor. Blades: Simonsen, Lowton, Jean-Francois, Montgomery, Doyle, Flynn (Williamson 73), Collins, Cresswell, Maguire, Porter (Bogdanovic 78), Quinn. Unused: Mendez-Laing, Slew, Long.

The solid defensive display which laid the foundations for Saturday’s victory at Oldham delighted Danny Wilson. United kicked off the new League One campaign with a 2-0 victory at Boundary Park with goals from Harry Maguire and Richard Cresswell, in a six-minute second half spell. However, it was the defensive strengths and resilience against a powerful Latics team that pleased new boss Wilson the most. He said: “We put out a strong team, physically, we’d had Oldham watched, we needed experience out there and manto-man we did our jobs. “Maybe it was not pretty at times, but we had to roll our sleeves up and battle and we did that - defensively, not just the back ﬁve but throughout the team, we were great. “Oldham is a tough place to get a clean sheet. The likes of Taylor, Smith, Reid can prove to be a real handful and I expect them to beat teams at home but I was impressed with the steely side of our game. “Massive credit to the defensive side of our game, we defended fantastically from the front.” Wilson added: “Three points on the opening day is a great start, everyone, on paper, would have expected us to win, but we didn’t take liberties predicted a battle... and got it. “Because we take such a following of supporters, it becomes such a big game for other clubs. The travelling fans were absolutely brilliant, in the three or four months since I’ve been here I’ve seen a tremendous loyalty from them and we have to work hard to repay that commitment.” Wilson also reserved praise for United’s goalscorers, adding: “Harry, along with Neill Collins and the rest of the lads at the back, made good decisions today and that helped us to the clean sheet. For his goal, he is a big lad and attacked the ball really well. “Cressy maybe thought he wasn’t going to play but we know what he can offer. He is a tremendous professional and got his goal through real endeavour, he used his physical presence to get in between the defenders.”

GETTING THE GOOD VIBE BACK SUFC NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Richard Cresswell has confessed that United’s dressing room was lively after Saturday’s victory at Oldham. The experienced striker netted one of the goals in the 2-0 success at Boundary Park as the Blades got the League One campaign off to a winning start. “We’re are not going to get carried away, but the dressing room was buzzing,” said Cresswell. “There was a lot of turmoil last season but we’re attempting to get that good vibe back. I think it showed, we helped each other out throughout the game and it was a fantastic team performance. “We’ve got unity, we will stick together and if we get that type of backing from the fans - I’ve not heard them like that in the two years I’ve been with the Club we’ll be a force in this league.” Cresswell added: “I love playing as a striker and if I get a run of games up front I’m sure I can score goals. I’ve scored a lot in the six yard box and if the ball goes in that area I will do my best to get on the end of them.”

BOSS PRAISES YOUNG SCORER SUFC NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Central defender Harry Maguire was praised by boss Danny Wilson following Saturday’s performance at Oldham Athletic. A header from Stephen Quinn’s corner saw Maguire claim United’s ﬁrst League One goal of the campaign, setting up an opening day victory. “Harry is big and very strong, with a great ability to listen and learn,” said boss Wilson in his previews for the Carling Cup tie against Hartlepool. “He looks you in eye and you can tell he is listening and learning his trade with a great attitude. “He has a fantastic head on his shoulders for a young lad, nothing phases him. He makes good decisions for a young boy, and although he will have a wobble every now and again, you would expect that, for his age, he will continue to develop as he already shows great maturity. “The more Harry plays the better that he will be as he continues to make decisions during games. He has the ability in him to grow and develop a great deal. “As for his goal, he attacked the ball really well, Neill Collins does the same, and I think both will chip in with goals this season.”
