NEW LIFECARD LEISURE SCHEME FOR SHEFFIELD A new leisure scheme for Sheffield is being introduced in one of the biggest changes to entertainment, sport and health and fitness in the city for more than 20 years.

The lifeCARD is being launched by Sheffield International Venues (SIV) and will offer discounts on many of the activities across the company’s 19 leisure and entertainment facilities.

SIV operates venues including Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, the English Institute of Sport – Sheffield (EIS Sheffield), iceSheffield, Graves

Tennis and Leisure Centre, Concord Sports Centre and Hillsborough Leisure Centre.

Although prices are set to increase across SIV facilities, lifeCARD holders will receive a 20 per cent discount and, in the majority of cases, customers will end up paying less than they do currently.

In addition, customers with a lifeCARD will benefit from special offers, advance bookings on major events such as music concerts, ticket offers for sports and entertainment and discounts from companies including Stagecoach Supertram and

city hotels.

Steve Brailey, chief executive, SIV, said: “Across the country, organisations are experiencing increases in costs and SIV is no different. In these challenging times, the introduction of the lifeCARD is designed to protect our customers from the price increases. It is not about charging more, but offering more, following suit from other successful schemes across the UK and facing the reality of the economic climate.

“The new lifeCARD will enable us to collect more information about our customers and

Domestic & Commercial Flooring

offer a greater range of programmes and activities to suit the whole of Sheffield.

“It will give us information that will help us to develop and to continue to invest in the facilities we provide. This is an exciting opportunity for our customers to make real savings, receive great offers and make a major contribution to the improvement of our products and services.”

Activities where customers will pay less with a lifeCARD than they are currently paying will include junior peak and off peak lane swimming, adults off peak lane

swimming, junior peak and off peak leisure swimming, off peak outdoor pitch hire and Friday night ice skating.

Offers will be refreshed monthly with December’s benefits for all lifeCARD holders including a free ice Skating session, a free lane swim, 50% off any regular hot drink, half price family swim and family skate, free coached activity taster session, buy one, get one free Christmas carol concert tickets and free gym and power plate inductions.

The SIV scheme is similar to those already operating successfully in most major UK cities. It will replace

existing SIV cards and has already had the thumbs up from customers following a trial at one of the company’s busiest venues, Hillsborough Leisure Centre. lifeCARDs are available at venue receptions or online at an introductory rate of £3 from November 7 until December 31. After this time, the cost will be £5 for an adult and £3 for a junior (17 and under).

For more information about the lifeCARD visit www.sheffieldlifecard. co.uk.

Copley’s Column

Usually, the week after the Mercury Awards presentation night is a little bit of an anti-climax for me after a night of top class entertainment, but not so this year, as I have had a most incredible week.

I was delighted to be invited to the first night of the stage production at the Academy Theatre in Birdwell of the classic film that nearly everyone has seen, Rita, Sue and Bob Too, starring our very own top comedian Jimmy Carol. Jimmy had specifically asked for an honest appraisal of both the play and his own performance, saying that if I thought his performance was poor, then he wanted me to report it accordingly. Jimmy had no need to worry as he was absolutely fantastic in this, his first performance as an actor. The producer, James Brandon, informed me before the start that Jimmy was a natural in rehearsals and was a joy to work with. The show ran from Tuesday to Saturday, selling out every night, and it crossed my mind that this show should go on tour, it would sell out everywhere. Jimmy was ably supported by the wonderful Glyn Davis from Men’s Club, who was hilarious as Sue’s drunken dad. The first sight of him was sitting on the toilet reading the Mercury, and wiping his backside on one of the pages, thankfully not my page. Other great performances were from Alice Andrews, daughter of Life on Mars star, Dean Andrews, who was there to see Alice excel as Rita and Lauren Auty who acted the part of Sue with great aplomb. Also worthy of mention were sterling performances from Julie Cooper as Michelle and Bev Jacques as Sue’s mum.

All in all a quality night and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jimmy for the invitation. Well known people in the audience included the funniest men on the planet, former star of top clubland act, The Discoes and Bobby Dennis, who kindly lent me a dvd depicting his act on a cruise ship. The incredible talent of this man is breathtaking. Other well-known faces in attendance were Stephanie King with husband Gary, Andrew Platts with his lovely wife Margaret, Gary Phillips, Mark Burrowes and last, but by no means least, my pal Keith Chapman of top agents Cee Bee Variety Agency.

Johnny Howe, soon to leave the Victoria pub close to my home, asked me to get him a quality artiste to surprise his wife Von on her birthday, it doesn’t seem two minutes since her fiftieth, and I had no hesitation in booking Diana Edwards, from Bjorn Again and

top duo Agnetha and Frida as well as performing solo. Johnny thanked me for my wise choice as Diana was excellent.

Thursday was Chris Firminger’s birthday and I was happy to go along to celebrate the event with John Alex at the White Swan, Dronfield where Chris was performing with top band Firecracker. I recently received from his dad, the legendary John Firminger, a copy of his book ‘ Not Like a Proper Job’ which chronicles the local music scene from 1955 to 1975. I urge you to purchase this book as it is really informative, well written with some great photographs. Also included is a cd with a lot of original music from the likes of Bitter Suite and many other local artistes from that era.

On Friday evening, John Alex kindly picked me up and took me to his gig at a favourite pub of mine, the Steelmelter’s at Killamarsh. John, a superb act, who always goes down well there, and attracted a capacity crowd, including local singer and Piers Brosman lookalike, Phil Lawrence and his pretty missus.

I am happy to announce the opening of an exciting new venue, Maggie May’s on Trippet Lane in the Sheffield City centre. Owner, is top local disc jockey Gary Sinclair, proven to be a big draw in town after transforming Bessemers on Leopold Street where he has been resident for the past eighteen months. An open day is planned from 11.00 a.m on Thursday 17th November, giving local businesses the opportunity to have a look at what could well be a very good venue for lunch.The grand opening takes place the following day with a live appearance from top Beatles tribute band the Beatalls, on what should be a great night. Subject to approval, the proposed opening hours are 11.00 am until midnight and Thursday to Saturday 11.00 a.m. until 1.30 a.m. The venue will be closed all day Sunday.

I am indebted to top Peak Radio Becky Measures for sending me through the post the inspirational book written by her mum, Wendy Watson, ‘I’m still standing’ This fantastic lady, after losing her mother to breast cancer and finding that there was a strong family history of the disease, took the bull by the horns and had a double mastectomy in order to eliminate the chance of having the same fate, a brave course of action later undertaken by daughter Becky.

These two ladies are truly inspirational.

Weekly Wit With...

Wife: “What are you doing?”

Husband: “Nothing.”

Wife: “Nothing...? You’ve been reading our marriage certificate for an hour.”

Husband: “I was looking for the expiration date.”

Wife: “Do you want dinner?”

Husband: “Sure! What are my choices?”

Wife: “Yes and no.”

Wife: “You always carry my photo in your wallet.

Why?” Hubby: “When there is a problem, no matter how impossible, I look at your picture and the problem disappears.”

Wife: “You see how miraculous and powerful I am for you?”

Hubby: “Yes! I see your picture and ask myself what other problem can there be greater than this one?”

Girl Friend: “When we get married, I want to share all your worries, troubles and lighten your burden.”

Boy: “It’s very kind of you, darling, but I don’t have any worries or troubles.”

Girl: “Well that’s because we aren’t married yet.”

A wife asked her husband: “What do you like most in me, my pretty face or my sexy body?”

He looked at her from head to toe and replied: “I like your sense of humour.

The top headline in the tabloids this morning is: Cheryl Cole: ‘Malaria battle opened my eyes’.

Which is a shame because I wish it had closed them, permanently. Cole alleged to be merely ‘hours from death’, and, honestly, I wouldn’t have minded waiting…

Sadly, like so many Zelebs, she’s still around, and, like the horde of utterly vacuous personalities, continues to clog up the Internet with her pointless drivel - Internet that could be saved for more important activities (yeah, guys, you know just what I’m talking about!).

The newspapers are filled on a daily basis with drivel concerning their pointless lives and the public generally lap it up. Eager to please, the papers leap on stories like hungry vultures, and, like said birdies, are devoid of morals or so much as a whiff of integrity. They’ll print anything about anyone – and there’s no one to stop them. Look at how they hounded the ‘People’s Princess’, and despite how that turned out, they’re still just as bad as ever! Not a single lesson was learned from that debacle.

Most journalists spend their time conjuring up the most ludicrous stories imaginable, and when someone picks them up on it, all they have to do is post a retraction in minuscule four point font just up from the SAGA application form on a page no one reads. Or they’ll position it just under the picture of an advert for haemorrhoid cream (Butt-Be-Gone: soothes your aching hole for up to eight hours).

And speaking of aching holes*, I hear Joe McElderry is turning on the Sheffield Lights. And the Manchester ones. And the Rotherham ones… gets about does that lad. Mind you, I’m fairly sure he needs the work as his album is selling by the bucket load. Well, I say selling… Apparently Simon Cowell only had three copies printed, one for Joe, one for his mum, and another as a coffee coaster… It’s good that at least one of those copies will be put to good use.

Anyway, today’s lesson is this: don’t believe anything you read in the papers. Take it all with a pinch of salt - because nothing is ever really as it truly appears. For instance, I’m not even human.

I’m really a camel cloned from Kerry Katona’s rabid DNA. Actually, scratch that story, it’s too believable and not nearly controversial enough.

*I meant he’s painful to listen to NOT anything else.

Sheesh, you people have SUCH filthy minds!

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Saltersgate Inn, North Yorkshire The landlord of the Saltersgate Inn was an old sea captain who had done his fair share of smuggling. He allowed the smugglers to trade their wares whilst he kept a look out for the Tax Inspector (who was then known as the Excise Man).

One night the excise men raided The Saltersgate Inn but without any success. There were no smugglers to be found. However, one smart, young man was determined to catch the landlord out. He hid in the woods for 10 minutes, enough time to convince the landlord that he had left. He then re-entered the pub and caught the smugglers red handed.

He success was short lived. The smugglers attacked and killed the unfortunate, young man. The landlord hid the man’s body at the back of the fireplace.

To ensure that no-one discovered the body the fire was constantly kept burning. The fire burnt for 100 years! Folklore warned that if the fire went out the man’s ghost would return to haunt the inn. The inn now stands derelict and the fire has burnt out.

Hearsay says that the pub is to be rebuilt and made into holiday flats. The flats will have a fantastic view of the North Yorkshire moors but will people risk the possibility of coming face to face with a ghost... I don think so.

I have to say that every time I pass the pub I look for the ghost but I have never seen him... maybe one day I will!

Stocksbridge Bypass The Stocksbridge Bypass was opened on Friday 13th 1989. Apparently the bypass is built on hallowed ground near Underbank Hall. It is believed that a Monk who was buried in the hallowed ground haunts the site. People have reported sightings of the Monk. They have described a headless figure

in a dark robe that transforms into a Monk.

They have also claimed to hear the voices of children singing ‘Ring a Ring o’ Roses.’

We remain mystified about the ghosts of Stocksbridge Bypass.

The Mystery of the Cursed Cauldron Manor Farm in Lincolnshire was haunted.

Mabel Peacock had the house exorcised to remove what she called a ‘Hobthurst’ (a household Goblin).They put the Goblin in a cauldron and then filled the cauldron with pins and earth before putting it in the cellar.

However, the cauldron carried with it a curse, anyone who touched the cauldron would die. The first victim was a boy who took the cauldron from the cellar and threw it into the river, within an hour the boy was dead. He was run over by a hay cart.

Another theory about the cauldron is that it contains a dwarf’s ashes who was murdered at Thornton Abbey. The haunted cauldron is bricked up in a cellar in Lincolnshire.

Hopefully never to be seen again!

Phantom Drips I wonder if any of the readers have experienced what I can only describe as a Phantom Drip. It lands on your head when there isn’t any damp or rain... nothing. The drip of water is icy cold. It leaves a very damp patch. Very odd, I have researched this but I haven’t found any information at all about the Phantom Drip.

The NHS in Sheffield is today urging people at risk of flu to get protected and have the vaccine.

• Carers, and • People over 65 years Dr Jeremy Wight, Director of Public Health at NHS Sheffield said: “Having flu is different to catching a cold, and the effects of seasonal flu are often underestimated.

There are additional ways people can protect working closely with the Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Group within ScHARR, themselves and those around them. Good hand hygiene - the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ technique top-rated for Health Services Research in – reduces the spread of germs. This means the UK in the latest nationwide university carrying tissues, covering coughs and sneezes assessment exercise.

Charles Perryman, chair of South Yorkshire Police Authority, said: “Police Authorities have a statutory responsibility to seek the views of local people about their priorities when creating a policing plan.

South Yorkshire Police’s temporary chief constable, Bob Dyson, added: “The Force South Yorkshire Police Authority by HR has to reduce its spending by £42 million Media Ltd over four years.

had donations from a number of kind people.

While we were preparing the last raffle for Robbie we wrote to the Barlborough Miners Welfare for a raffle prize. They contacted us and felt they could do more suggesting a halloween event on the 31st at the Barlborough Miners Welfare. Jimmy Jones provides Karaoke at the club and enthusiastically got behind the project providing his services free of charge and recruiting from all the venues he works for to get attendees.

It was standing room only on Monday the 31st at the Barlborough Miners Welfare as hundreds gathered in fantastic fancy dress to help build Robbie’s room. There were raffles, lucky boxes,

an auction which included a signed Pele shirt and great heartfelt singing. After the dust settled on the following Sat, 5th Nov, The Barlborough Miners Welfare & Jimmy Jones presented Robbie and his family with over £1500 towards “Robbie’s Room Appeal”!

Robbie and his family offer their heartfelt thanks for all involved in this event.

Jimmy Jones, 0114 2879917, has details on all parties that gave so generously and I would like to offer my personal thanks to Jimmy Jones, Mark, Gerry & committee at the Barlborough Miners Welfare.

We would like to appeal for any other clubs who may be interested in hosting an event for Robbie to contact Richard Haigh on 07885 285425 or richard.z.haigh@uk.tesco.com

Bring Me the Horizon Comp

by KT Evans

PREVIEW: PIGEON DETECTIVES

by KT Evans

Ever fancied your chance of meeting Sheffield’s largest export of hardcore Bring Me The Horizon, or power rockers Machine Head? Well ponder no further because the o’h so generous guys at Gibson Guitars have come up trumps with their brand new meet and greet competition they’re running alongside the two bands December UK Shows. With a kick-ass bundle of prizes to also be won, don’t miss your chance to be rubbing shoulders with some of the most brutal people within modern day music.

A prize offered to two very lucky winners indeed, Roadrunner Records, Raw Power Management, Visible Noise and Epiphone have teamed up to offer a once in a life time opportunity to mingle with the best in metal mayhem…and it couldn’t be simpler.

Not only will the winners be allowed to choose between Machine Head or Bring Me the Horizon to have a good ole’ chin wag with backstage at a chosen concert, they will also take home either a signed Epiphone Karina Flying V or an Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitar branded by their favourite band. (In other words some pretty cool gear!) Hell and let’s not forget the free tickets they also receive to a show of their choice at any of the two bands fierce live UK shows…so how do we enter then??!

So if you like the sound of this, and hey who wouldn’t, all you have to do is simply ‘like’ Gibson Guitar UK’s facebook page then fill out the entry form. Easy! Be quick though because the competition closes on 18th November of which after the winners will be notified after the closing date.

Winners will be selected at random and informed of on the Gibson Guitar Facebook page.

Kicking off their three day UK smasher of a show, Machine Head and Bring Me The Horizon kick off their tour at London’s Wembley Arena on 3rd December, with Birmingham National Indoor Arena on the 4th, Glasgow S.E.CC on 5th and Manchester Centre on 6th December. Following on from a hugely successful year both nationally and on an international level, Sheffield’s BMTH are set to put on a seriously hardcore live set with their infamously hazardous stage show. One definitely not to be missed.

Tickets are still available for the Machine Head/ BMTH UK shows. See www.seetickets.com for more info or either of the bands official websites.

Stemming from the post- Arctic Monkeys indie rush within the UK’s music charts, Pigeon Detectives have stood their ground by remaining a consistent, popular fixture upon indie hangouts, clubs and bars across the country. Back on the road and ready to inject their rhythmically intricate, fast paced indie road show to the masses, Pigeon Detectives will be performing at Sheffield’s Leadmill this Friday 11th November.

Forming in 2004, the six piece from Rothwell West Yorkshire have not only won fans on a national level but an international level to match. In 2006 they supported London quintet Dirty Pretty Things along with fellow Leeds band Kaiser Chiefs in November of the same year at Earls Court London. Aiding the bands increasing popularity as a runner within their acquired genre, the band have performed at both Reading and Leeds Festival, gracing a sought-after slot on the NME stage, historically seeing the likes of Panic! At The Disco, Death from above and The Horrors perform. No doubt putting on a cracking show, this is to be replicated in the bands up-coming tour of the UK. During 2007, the band also performed at Jersey’s live music festival JerseyLive alongside the likes of Kasabian and The Fratellis. This also led onto a slot at Oxegen festival, of which they were asked to perform again the consecutive year.

Their debut EP release, Wait For Me was released on 28th May 2007 and booted itself straight to the number three position within the UK album charts. Achieving gold status weeks after its release, the album was produced by music mogul Will Jackson and recorded in the bands hone town of Leeds. Supporting the Northern group from the word go, Jo Whiley, Radio 1 DJ and show host got the group in to record a special one-off version of their single ‘Take Her Back’ in the live lounge, a version which remains one of the best recording in the live studio to date.

In 2008, Pigeon Detectives released their second studio album ‘Emergency’ which although not receiving as much success as their previous release, did go in straight at number five in the UK charts. The title single also peaked at number fourteen, the bands second highest charting single and a year they definitely won’t forget. Although talk of a third album is in the pipeline, the band are now focusing on their UK live shows which will hit Sheffield this Friday.

For ticket info, opening times and conditions, see www.leadmill.co.uk or visit the bands official website on www.thepigeondetectives. com

Angler’s Corner Racing Form

by Clint Walker

This week, I’ve decided to take a good look at a new catapult; it’s the Fox Mega Method catapult.

The frame is a pretty chunky affair and has a soft grip finish; a very solid plastic handle with an attached knuckle guard. I like the knuckle guard.

I am one of those anglers who often tries to use a catapult beyond its realistic capabilities and end up with a stinging smack across my hand as the elastic whips back and gives me a proper whack!! As with all the other parts of this product, it is a replaceable part which clips solidly to the handle and protects delicate fingers very well.

The elastics are comprised of hollow latex secured by a sturdy tab within the screw fittings at the ends of the frame. The elastics initially feel quite ‘tight’ and it requires a fair effort to stretch them to full extent; over time, as the elastics are ‘worked’ the flexibility improves and the effort needed is considerably less. Attached to the pouch by a similar tab fixing, the latex will take a lot of ‘grunt’ and still deliver without risk of failure.

The pouch is a one piece injection moulded lattice, so there are no seams, joints or anything else to split or degrade and it holds a good amount of bait. FOX recommend that balls of groundbait are no more than 50mm across (do you measure yours? No, me neither!) which I would guess is a rough guide....

If you are using the Mega Method catapult for groundbait, then obviously a stiffer mix will be more aerodynamic and fly further than a fluffy, lighter mix and this should be considered. The closeness of the latticing means that maggot and other small baits will not escape from the rear of the pouch prior to launch! Fitted with a finger strop to reduce the chance of slippage when pulled back, it also helps to maintain accuracy and avoid bait being misplaced throughout the swim.

I’ve found it relatively simple to get heavier baits out to around 50-60 yards with little effort; I have no idea what FOX claim to be an effective range, but I would think most anglers baiting up any further out would chose another method. Lighter baits are given quite a push by the strong elastics, but don’t expect 50 yards!

The Fox Mega Method Catapult has worked well so far; the soft grip finish means it is easy to use when wet, the wide frame means that larger balls of groundbait do not hit the uprights and break up, and the large capacity pouch means a lot of bait can be put out with minimum disturbance. Parts are interchangeable, which I’ve already stated I’m not keen on, but if I’ve paid £15 out, I’d rather pay a fiver next time for a pouch or elastics I know will last a considerable time instead of getting something else. The ONLY issue I’ve had so far, which is more an irritant than a fault, is occasional ‘cross over’ of the elastic because of the way it is secured to the pouch, meaning that it must be untangled to load with baits. Supplied in a natty plastic display box, the card insert comes with full instructions (if you need them!) and all details of the features I’ve already mentioned.

Top class NH action beckons this weekend when the Open Meeting takes place at Cheltenham. Over the three days there is plenty of wonderful racing on offer that may well provide telling clues for the Festival in March. However many of the horses have more than one entry so it will pay to check the final declarations carefully before deciding on your bets.

Cheltenham Friday: 1.10 I tipped Stewarts House and am sticking with him until beaten as I suspect that the move to Tim Vaughan could have re-kindled his enthusiasm.

Frosted Grape had a spin over hurdles recently which could have sharpened him up for this so he could be dangerous. Others with live chances are: The Sawyer; Promising Anshan; Buena Vista; Swing Bill; and Fort View.

1.45 Safari Journey gets the nod in a tight handicap.

If Royal Choice travels over from Ireland however he will be a big danger to the selection. Mibleu and Keki Buku can fight out the minor places.

2.20 Fair Along has several entries at the meeting but if selected for this event he should go close.

The dangers look to be Scotsirish, Gullible Gordon, Double Dizzy, Uncle Junior and Intac.

2.55 Nicky Henderson’s Ericht gets the vote in an interesting contest. Redera, All the Winds and Ohio Gold look to be the main opposition but all have other entries at the meeting and are therefore passed over. Of the rest Absolutelyfantastic, Flycorn, Steps to Freedom, Priors Gold and Sublime Talent will ensure that the selection doesn’t have it too easy.

3.30 In order of preference: Credit Swap; Lupanar; Posh Emily.

4.05 Mad Moose; Vino Griego; Pure Faith; Doeslessthanme; Balzaccio; First Lieutenant Cheltenham Saturday: 1.20 Nicky Henderson’s Ozeta, Paul Nicholls’ Hinterland and Donald Mc Cain’s Hollow Tree all look to have big futures over obstacles. However Alan King’s Secret Edge is also talented and won well recently at Wetherby where he defeated Countrywide Flame by half a length. Of the others Gud Day; Saqil; Traitor; Jackies Solitaire; Face Value; Bradbury; Luggers Hall and Captain Sharpe give the race a wide open look.

1.55 Carruthers is the choice to prevail in another difficult looking handicap. Mark Bradstock’s inmate was set some stiff tasks last term including the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Hennessy. In this latter race he ran the best race of his career in my estimation. This looks an easier ask and he can score at the main expense of Fair Along; The Sawyer; Promising Anshan; Le Burf and West End Rocker, several of whom hold other possible engagements at the meeting.

2.35 The Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase is the day’s big race and can go to Charlie Mann’s

Fine Parchment (Nap) for whom I am holding out big hopes this year. He has only a feather- weight to carry, has scored at the track and over this distance and has had a prep race at Aintree where he failed narrowly on his return to action. If Noble Prince makes the journey across the Irish Sea he will be a big danger to the selection, a remark that also applies to Loosen My Load. From the remainder my preference would be for Oiseau de Nuit, Finger Onthe Pulse and then Mon Parrain in that order.

3.10 Stow ran a cracker over a similar distance at Newbury last year and is a hopeful choice to open his account for this term here. Kayf Aramis, Red Not Blue, Powerstation and Counting House are others with very respectable figures on the clock but the biggest danger to the selection may come from Jeremy Scott’s Five Star Wilsham who was a recent winner at Stratford.

3.40 Eightybarackstreet earns a narrow vote in a trappy contest. All The Winds, Cape Dutch, Fairwood Massini, Swift Chap and James Pollard look to be his main opponents.

4.10 Cannington Brook stands out on my speed figures looking to have quite a bit in hand over Mr. Moss. Next best are (in order): First Lieutenant; Old Wigmore; Time for Spring; Saint Are; Viking Blond; and Bescot Springs.

Cheltenham Sunday: 1.10 L’Eldorado heads my figures. He may have most to fear from Delphi Mountain although Lancetto has won his last couple and is a course and distance winner to boot. Toubab and Australia Day come next in my rankings.

1.45 My ratings give: Stewarts House, Oiseau de Nuit, Chaninbar, Woolcombe Folly, Mad Moose, Gauvain and West with the Wind (in that order).

Purely for consistency I shall stick to my speed rating order but, with several of these having other possible objectives at the meeting, this could be left to one of those lower down the order. Check for non runners.

2.20 The day’s big race is the Greatwood Hurdle.

Pateese won with any amount in hand last week at Sandown and looks well under-handicapped at present. He is a reasonably confident selection to follow up here. Paul Nicholls may well have the biggest danger to the selection in Brampour and it was no easy decision to by-pass him. His rider takes off a handy 7lb but even so he still has to give the selection 9lbs and this may prove beyond him at this stage. If Jack Cool travels over he has to have a good chance also. Of the others I like The Betchworth Kid, Via Galilei, Ultimate and Tarkari the most.

2.55 In a competitive event Rattan has top rating, followed by Tenor Nivernais, Redera, Court in Session, Rangitoto and Ultravox. The nod goes to Court in Session although it is a tight call.

3.30 In order: Redera; Ohio Gold; Barbatos; Letter of Credit; Jump City; Grandads Horse.

4.00 In order: Koko Lane; Montbazon; Heavenstown; Supreme Carolina; Cross of Honour.

Lingfield 2.15 Viva Vettori; Suits Me; Licence to Till; Nice Style; Satwa Pearl 2.50 Bajan Tryst; Breathless Kiss; Five Star Junior; Capone; Requisite.

Sunday League

by Michael Clarke

League Cup Round One The big game in the League cup was at Warminster Road, where Arbourthorne EA B took on the Royal Earl. Royal Earl won last years competition, beating Arbourthorne EA’s A side in the final. The Arbourthorne may have hoped that revenge was on the cards, but it was not-to-be. The Royal Earl won the game 6-3.

David Gelsthorpe notched up a double hat-trick for Jack-in-a-Box. Mark West also scored four, as they beat Staffordshire Arms 11-1.

Premier Division leaders High Noon made easy work of dispatching Woodhouse Juniors FC from the competition. They ran out 9-1 winners, with Christopher Barnes scoring three of the goals.

Danny Major and Jordan Barton were also on the score-sheet.

BACK TO WINNING WAYS MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk The Millers finally got an long overdue victory when Aldershot were in town, with Lewis Grabban and Chris Holroyd on the scoresheet in a 2-0 victory.

The scoreline could have been more emphatic when Shots goalkeeper Ross Worner saw red for bringing down Alex Revell outside the box but his replacement Jamie Collins - normally an outfield player - proved surprisingly adept between the sticks.

Millers boss Andy Scott had made three changes to his starting XI after last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Northampton.

Guy Branston was recalled after serving his suspension while Luke Foster was handed a start, with Johnny Mullins was named on the bench and Michael Raynes missed out completely with an injury.Holroyd was also handed a starting berth ahead of Danny Schofield after his impressive appearances from the bench.

Rotherham carved out an early opportunity through Gareth Evans.The midfielder was alert to strike goalwards after Branston’s smart knock-down but the Aldershot defence closed him down quickly to block the effort.

The Shots had their first real opportunity on the 10-minute mark.Clever work on the left wing by Adam Smith saw the ball eventually fall to Peter Vincenti but Branston got his head in the way.

However it was the Millers that opened the scoring from a real poachers’ effort by Grabban.Evans fired a stinging free-kick that Worner couldn’t keep hold of and Grabban was at the front of the queue to stab home the rebound.

Rotherham could have doubled the lead soon after.

Evans and Grabban combined again as the striker nodded down in the box but Aaron Morris made an important interception with Holroyd poised to shoot.

At the other end, Smith was played in by Danny Hylton but the lively winger slipped at the vital moment and the Millers defence combined to clear.

The visitors were beginning to exert some pressure and it took an excellent defensive header by Dale Tonge to turn behind Jermaine McGlashan’s teasing cross with Michael Rankine lurking at the back post.

Worner was tested twice in quick succession at the 25minute mark.Grabban hung up a dangerous cross with a weaker left-foot and Branston powered a header towards the top corner but the goalkeeper clawed the ball away.

From the follow-up Evans drilled in a shot but Worner got his body behind the ball.

The Shots then squandered a golden opportunity to level

ROVERS RETURN WITH THE POINTS MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

The Rovers made two changes to the starting line-up, with Brian Stock returning and James Coppinger coming in for Ryan Mason, injured, and James Hayter, who drops to the bench. The home team, Ipswich Town, made five changes after last Saturday’s beating at Millwall.

The Rovers kicked off and enjoyed a majority of the possession in the first quarter of the game. They could, and should, have scored in the 9th minute when Stock put a cross from the left into the middle where three Rovers players were waiting and the home team appealing for offside. No flag but Friend mis-controlled the ball and lost the chance to knock it in from close range. Four minutes later and Priskin, for the home team, had a go from 25yards but the ball was diverted for a corner by Martis. Then, in the 17th minute, came the breakthrough. A Rovers build-up came to Gillett halfway in the Ipswich half. He played the ball to Coppinger on the left, a terrific cross found an unmarked DIOUF in the middle and his header put the Rovers in front.

With their tails up now the Rovers pressed hard and in the 24th minute went further ahead when a good move on their right let Coppinger put over a great cross for SHARP to head in. The Rovers piled the pressure on and another good move won a couple of corners but they were cleared. Past the half hour and the home team had the ball in the net in the 34th minute but the assistant referee had already raised his flag for offside.

Ipswich gradually worked themselves into the game but were pulled up short in the 39th minute when Sharp fed DIOUF, who took the ball to the edge of the penalty area before placing a low shot into the keeper’s right hand corner of the net. To the home team’s credit they tried to hit back straight away and won successive corners, from

the scores.McGlashan’s trickery on the left flank saw him get the better of Tonge but, with the goal at his mercy, he put his effort into the side-netting of Conrad Logan’s near post.

With half-time closing in Smith chanced his arm from 25 yards but his strike fizzed past the far post.

However Holroyd netted quickly after, vindicating Scott’s decision to include him in the starting line-up.Evans again was involved as he whipped in a testing free-kick from the left flank and the striker applied a deft header to leave Worner stranded.

Before the break Rankine was the first player to have his name taken as he led with his arm into a header, leaving Branston flattened.

The visitors were reduced to 10-men early in the second half.Jon Harley’s long-ball forward sent Revell through on goal but the striker was laid out flat by Worner on the edge of the box and the referee had no choice but to show red to the stopper.

Without a back-up goalkeeper, midfielder Jamie Collins had to don the gloves for the visitors, though his first task was to watch Evans’ free-kick clear the crossbar.

Despite their numerical disadvantage, the Shots kept their chins up and centre-half Darren Jones stung the palms of Logan with a blistering drive, but the Millers man turned it away for a corner.

McGlashan was removed for Aldershot midway through the second period to be replaced by Scott Davies as the visitors look to tighten up their midfield.

Collins was relatively untested until the 70th minute when Evans escaped down the left wing and pulled back to Holroyd, but a heavy touch from the striker allowed the stand-in goalkeeper to produce an unorthodox but effective save.

Revell was next to have a pop at the Shots’ goal by hitting a first-time volley after being teed up by Grabban but his speculative effort flew harmlessly over the bar.

Smith was the final player to be replaced for Rotherham with Bradley Bubb given the chance to play for the final 10 minutes.

With the game approaching full-time Rankine nearly found a way back into the game after escaping the offside trap on the right flank but an excellent stretching tackle by Branston denied the striker a chance to shoot.

Tom Newey was introduced late on for the hosts in place of Grabban as Scott looked to see out the game.

The final whistle was greeted roundly with cheers as the Millers gained a well-deserved victory which owed a lot to a resolute defence in a match they dominated for long spells.

the second of which Collins headed wide. But the Rovers were not allowing them too much of a sight of goal and the whistle went on a fantastic half for the Rovers, who went in three goals to the good.

The home team brought on Carson for Bullard at the start of the second half and attacked straight from the kick off, with substitute Carson firing wide from the right. Then they won a couple of corners which came to nothing.

The pressure paid off in the 52nd minute when the two substitutes combined to pull a goal back for the Tractor Boys. Martin got to the left byline and played a low ball to the near post where CARSON eventually forced the ball over the line. The Rovers hit back with a corner which was cleared up field for Martin to collect on the home left and take it on before hitting a shot that Sullivan could only beat out before clearing. Just past the hour and Diouf, on the Rovers right, passed inside for Sharp but his shot was blocked at the expense of a corner.In the 63rd minute the Rovers were awarded a free kick on their right, which Stock placed to the far post for Naylor to head back to the middle where it was put out for a corner to the Rovers. Then Sharp received on the right and crossed to the middle where Friend shot wide. Diouf then got away on the left before crossing but Friend headed wide. Ipswich were not out of it but only won a corner in the 68th minute. Minutes later and good work on the left by Diouf gave Stock a crack at goal from 25yards but he put well wide. Back came Ipswich with Cresswell going down the home left but his cross was missed by everybody in the middle. Then Andrews had a shot blocked but got the corner. Although the home side didn’t have it all their own way as the clock ran down they did manage a goal in the fourth minute of added time when Emmanuel-Thomas crossed from the right and CHOPRA, running in headed into the net.

A cracking game but the main result was a precious three points for the Rovers.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 BEES STOP OWLS RUN MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Sheffield Wednesday were held to a goalless draw by Brentford at Hillsborough on Saturday.

In what was a largely frustrating afternoon for Wednesday, the visitors were able to hold on for a point in S6 - ending the Owls’ winning run on home soil.

Wednesday boss Gary Megson stuck with the same starting eleven that posted three points away at Wycombe seven days ago.

It was the Bees who fired the first warning shot of the contest inside the opening minute when Sam Saunders’ free kick picked out Gary Alexander who headed just over the bar.

But Wednesday responded immediately and almost took the lead with a delightful volley from James O’Connor.

The midfielder kept his eye on a hanging ball in the area and connected sweetly with a bicycle kick, bringing an equally impressive save from Richard Lee. The early attacking impetus was with the visitors as Saunders saw his free kick from distance pushed around the post and out for a corner.

But as the home side began to settle into their stride, Rob Jones had a great chance to put the Owls ahead on 16 minutes.

Ben Marshall was the architect down the left, as the winger floated in an inviting cross to the back stick but Jones couldn’t direct his header on target.

Brentford’s dangerman Saunders was looking lively and went close midway through the first half but dragged his shot wide after a quick burst down the centre of the park.

Brentford could, and perhaps should, have gone into the lead ten minutes before the interval with two quickfire golden opportunities.

Firstly, Miguel Llera headed onto the crossbar from another Saunders set piece, before Clayton Donaldson put Craig Woodman’s centre over the Kop net with a miss-timed header.

Those near-misses sparked the Owls into life as Marshall was denied the opening goal of the game by a terrific save from Lee, who was down quick to keep out the strike.

Danny Batth then saw his header from Marshall’s corner deflected wide before Chris Lines’ half volley was closed down by plenty of bodies back in Brentford’s 18 yard box.

Wednesday came out of the traps fast in the second half and put the visitors under heavy pressure with Chris O’Grady and Marshall both going close.

The Owls had certainly upped the ante and created a terrific opening six minutes after the restart when Lewis Buxton got in behind the Bees backline, but his low driven cross just evaded Ryan Lowe in the centre.

It seemed the Owls’ second half pressure had paid off on 70 minutes when Jones connected with Marshall’s corner from close range, but Brentford

managed to keep the ball from crossing the line to further frustrate Wednesday.

With the scores locked at 0-0, Niall McGinn’s first time strike in the area was blocked by Jones as Bywater was able to smother the loose ball in the six yard box.

As the clock was ticking down, Wednesday continued to launch attack after attack on Brentford’s goal.

But the Owls had to settle for a point on this occasion, remaining third in the League 1 table.

Owls: Bywater, Buxton, Jones, Batth, Reynolds, Marshall, Lines (Palmer 46), Semedo (Morrison 67, O’Connor (J Johnson 50), O’Grady, Lowe Unused substitutes: O’Donnell, Bennett Brentford: Lee, O’Connor, Woodman, Eger, Saunders (Weston 73), Douglas, Donaldson, McGinn (Logan 86), Diagouraga, Llera, Alexander (Bean 79) Unused substitute: Devlin, Grella

MEGSON TAKES THE POSITIVES GAFFERʼS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Gary Megson was disappointed to see the Owls’ winning run at Hillsborough come to end on Saturday against Brentford.

But the Wednesday manager has taken plenty of positives from his side’s form in S6 this season.

He said: “We’ve taken 22 points from 24 at Hillsborough.

“Things have changed here, last season we would have lost that game without a shadow of a doubt and we have to accept that teams will change how they play when they come here.

“I think everyone could see by the reaction on the two benches, we were the ones disappointed with the result and they were celebrating.”

He continued: “I think it’s the first time in a long time that we haven’t scored but I thought Chris O’Grady played well. With Ryan Lowe, it’s difficult when you’re not a big lad because they put a lot of men behind the ball and there wasn’t much space in there.

“There will be times when people don’t score but when that happens, you have got to make sure that you don’t get beat.”

LJF GETS A DRAW MIGHT HAVE INTERNATIONAL CALL UP BEEN FAIR GAFFERS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk Danny Wilson spoke after the game at Stevenage where he had watched his team get back into the match with a superb dead ball strike from Ched Evans making it 1-1 only for a late Laird penalty to take all three points for the home team.

“I think we weathered a very long aerial bombardment, as we expected, physicality with players falling down, free kicks coming in the box, long throws coming in and we dealt with it.

When we got back into the game there was only one team going to win it in my mind. The spaces were opening up for us and we started to play and stretch them and then it’s an indecision again. It was very careless their player was going no where when we conceded the penalty,” explained Wilson A hard fought close match was entering the closes the stages when the Blades conceded the late penalty which cost them at least a share of the points.

“A draw might have been a fair result but as the spaces started to open up then that’s when we thought we would get our chance. We got smashed for a moments indecision again, which has unfortunately been the case recently.

It will change though, because we will make it change. We will start making better decisions and more consistent decisions. The people who can put it right are the players,” said the Blades Manager.

“It is a quarter of the season gone now, we have got a good understanding of this division, of what it is going to take. It is now up to us to push on from here.” Said Wilson The Blades next face two cup matches at Bramall Lane against Bradford City in the J.P.T. quarter final on Tuesday evening and against Oxford United next Saturday in the first round of the F.A. Cup. The Blades Manager finished by looking forward to those games.

“It certainly keeps the season bubbling having these two cup matches in a week. These games will give everybody a lift, cup games are exciting! From our point of view it keeps everybody bubbling along and if we can get two wins in the games then that would be fantastic.”

Lecsinel Jean-Francois has been called up by Haiti for two World Cup qualifiers.

The defender has received his first call up since signing for United in the summer.

Haiti will face Antigua and Barbuda in a double-header in the second round of qualifiers games for the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Jean-Francois told sufc.co.uk: “I’ve not featured a lot and see this as an opportunity to get some match practice. It is an honour to be called up by Haiti and I’m looking forward to the games.”

He will miss United’s cup ties with Bradford City and Oxford United this week.

BLADES READY FOR YOUTH CUP TEST BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

John Pemberton has warned his United youngsters to take nothing for granted when they play Tranmere Rovers on Monday night.

The Blades travel to Prenton Park to take on Rovers in the first round of this season’s FA Youth Cup, a competition that Pemberton’s players reached the final of last term.

The Academy chief, who fielded the likes of George Long, Harry Maguire and Matty Harriott in last season’s competition, hopes his players will gain vital experience with United entering at the first round stage this term owning to the Club’s League One status: “It is a similar tie to when we played Cheltenham last season, there are no easy games in this competition and it is imperative that the lads know that, apply themselves properly and have the correct attitude.

“No matter who you are, you have no divine right to win matches and we proved that last season by beating Aston Villa and giving Manchester United a good run for their money.
