Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Ghosts And How To Spot Them People have believed in ghosts for thousands of years. Ghosts are a feature of both Folklore and religious beliefs. Ghost Busting Ghost busting has become very popular due to certain celebrities like Derek Achora who has been involved with TV programmes such as Most Haunted and Ghost Town. There are special gadgets to measure paranormal activity. They can be purchased from the internet. I am fortunate as I don’t need to use gadgets. The idea of communicating with the dead can be quite scary but I do not worry as I carry out certain procedures that ensure my safety. Signs that can indicate a Ghost Presence: • A feeling of being watched • Unexpected noises • Cold spots • Touching • Strange animal behaviour • Phone ringing • Orbs • Flickering lights • Smells We must understand that ghosts and spirits do exist. Some of the readers will have experienced unexplained phenomena for themselves. I have my own experiences. When I was nursing I saw a ghost. Ghosts can take a number of forms. The ghost I saw was of human form, so much so, that I thought she was a hospital matron. She wore a navy cloak and a frilly white cap. Her mannerisms even looked human. Theory says that ghosts come back in human form because they are reluctant to leave the place they lived or worked in. Unexpected Noises How often have you heard an unexpected noise? It could be a spirit trying to attract your attention. If you hear a cups rattling or a door creaking, don’t worry, it is probably only a spirit letting you know that they are close by. You may also hear stairs creaking, footsteps, banging or knocking. It can be scary but remeber spirits and ghosts won’t harm you in any way. I had a client whose kettle kept switching on at around 11am each day. She was scared at ﬁrst but realised that it was her dad who used to call for his cup of tea at this time each day before he died. It was his way of saying ‘I am still around.’

Phone Ringing/Phantom Phone Calls I have actually experienced this. I attended a mediumship development group where we carried out the rituals of Psychic Protection and meditations. On the way home my phone (which was switched off) started to ring! The call was from an unknown number. When I did switch my phone back on I tried to call the number but all I heard when I dialed was a buzzing noise. A call from Heaven? Smells This is my favourite spirit sign, especially when it occurs during a readings. To date I have smelt tobacco, woodbines, pipe smoke, roses, lavender, baking, rubber, oranges and bacon. When I am in the supermarket I have to distinguish where the smell is coming from the shop or from a spirit. Orbs Orbs can be caught on camera. They are little white , round objects, sometimes they have a face in them. Sometimes they appear as coloured lights. Flickering Lights Sceptics would say ‘it’s the bulb going out?’ But you can change the bulb and the light will continue ﬂickering, you can phone an electrician and he will say that the wiring is okay. Then you start to think, maybe it’s spirit activity. We went to The King William at Old Cotes as part of my mother in laws funeral. Our meal came and I said ‘I wish you were here with us.’ All the lights went off! I am positive it was my mother in law saying ‘I am with you.’ Shadow People This is known as dark shadows or black ectoplasm. It is seen to move about. I have never seen it. So the next time something unusual happens don’t be scared it could be a spirit relative wanting to get your attention. Bookings for psychic readings please ring 07811632353

Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind (SRSB) on Mappin Street, just off West Street may be able to assist you with any difficulties that you are experiencing. They are available to help anybody experiencing sight problems and people do not need to be registered blind or partially sighted to access their services. In terms of reading and/or computer assistance they have a couple of forthcoming events which may be of interest to readers. On Tuesday, 29 November they have a demonstration of products from Optelec and Guide. Optelec will be demonstrating a range of electronic video magnifiers from small pocket devices to larger desktop items and Guide will be demonstrating their easy to see computer system. On Wednesday, 7 December, Sight and Sound Technology will be demonstrating their range of products including video magnifiers and easy to see computer software. Both events run from 10am to 3pm. Visitors will also have the opportunity to look at other equipment that makes life easier when sight starts to fail as well as visiting SRSB’s cafe which serves a range of hot and cold snack/ drinks. Everybody is welcome.

HOSPITAL CHOICE

http://www.nhs.uk/choiceintheNHS/ Yourchoices/hospitalchoice/Pages/ Choosingahospital.aspx

If you need to go to hospital to see a specialist, you have the right to choose which hospital you’re referred to by your GP. This legal right, which was introduced in April 2009, lets you choose from any hospital offering a suitable treatment that meets NHS standards and costs. You can choose a hospital according to what matters most to you, whether it’s location, waiting times, reputation, clinical performance, visiting policies, parking facilities or patients’ comments. Why is choosing the hospital in which I am ﬁrst seen important? The hospital at which you choose to see a specialist will probably also be the one where you receive treatment, should you need it. Therefore, when you choose where to see a specialist, always assume that treatment will be necessary, even if this seems unlikely or uncertain when your GP ﬁrst refers you. If you’re not happy with your chosen hospital after seeing a specialist, tell your GP. They can make you an appointment at another hospital. However, this may delay any treatment you need, so think carefully before deciding to go to another hospital. Is hospital choice offered in every case? A choice of hospital is available for most patients and in most circumstances. Exceptions include emergency and urgent services, cancer, maternity and mental health services. If you need to be seen urgently by a specialist (for example, if you have severe chest pain), your GP will send you where you’ll be seen most quickly. Why should I choose which hospital to go to? There are many reasons why you might prefer one hospital to another. Location, waiting times, clinical results and parking facilities are just some of the things that

DEADLINE FOR SENIOR AND RETURNS TO DISABLED COACH CARDS REGISTER TO VOTE http://www.shefﬁeld.gov.uk/your-citycouncil/elections/register

Time is running out for Shefﬁeld residents to complete and return their voter registration forms. If forms are not returned by 21 November residents could lose their right to vote. Those households who do not return their forms by 21 November and did not return them last year, will be taken off the electoral roll. Every household must respond to the voter registration form, stating the names of all the eligible electors who live in the household. If no one is eligible to be registered, residents are being asked to state the reason (e.g. empty property, registered somewhere else, or all residents are foreign nationals who are not members of the EU or Commonwealth), to ensure that the Council’s records are accurate. Forms can be completed in a number of ways, including over the phone, via the internet or by post. If the pre-printed details on the form are correct the quickest and most cost effective way of responding is by telephone or the internet.

Take time to discuss the full range of options with your GP. Do I have to choose straight away? If your GP wants to refer you to a specialist, you can take away information about hospitals and decide later. In most circumstances, this is the most sensible option. Are there any costs involved in choosing hospitals? There are no costs involved if you’re an NHS patient. All the hospitals that you can choose from provide treatments to NHS patients free of charge, including the independent (private) ones. If the hospital I choose is a long way away, can I get help with travel costs? If your GP or the person who has referred you decides that you have a medical need for transport, patient transport services should be provided. You may be entitled to help with your travel costs through the Healthcare Travel Cost Scheme (HTCS) if you’re under the care of a consultant and receive either Income Support, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance or Pension Credit Guarantee Credit, or if you’re named on an NHS tax exemption certificate or qualify under the NHS low-income scheme. Which hospital should I choose? The hospitals you can choose from will depend on the type of specialist you need to see. The choice you make may be based on a wide range of factors, such as location, waiting times, reputation, clinical performance, cleanliness, travel, parking facilities and visiting policies. You can choose your hospital according to what’s most important to you.

101 – THE NEW NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER FOR SOUTH YORKSHIRE POLICE On Friday 4 November, South Yorkshire Police’s non-emergency number changed to 101, replacing the existing 0114 2202020 number which will be gradually phased out. All forces in England and Wales will be using 101 as their nonemergency number by early 2012, as mandated by the Home Office. Every call to 101 will be charged at a 15p flat rate. The introduction of 101 nationally has been agreed to relieve pressure on the 999 service and will enable forces to better prioritise calls. 101 will be a familiar number to residents in Sheffield as a partnership service between South Yorkshire Police and Sheffield City Council has been running in the city since 2006 and currently takes over 5,000 calls per month. Since 2006, Sheffield residents have been able to report police non-emergency incidents and council issues such as vandalism, nuisance noise, abandoned vehicles, fly-tipping and broken street lighting through the same number. From 4 November, everyone in South Yorkshire will be able to contact South Yorkshire Police for non-emergency matters by calling 101. However, currently only Sheffield residents will be able to report council related issues in their neighbourhood through the same number.

In an emergency – when a crime is in progress or life is at risk – always call 999. When should you call 101? When it is less urgent than 999; for general enquiries, to contact local police or to report a crime that has already happened the public

should always call 101. Crimes such as the following should always be reported by calling 101: • Stolen car • Vandalised property • Criminal damage • Suspicion of someone selling stolen goods • Suspicion of local drug dealing • Theft such as stolen mobile phones • Drunken or rowdy behaviour

The imperial Club & Brewery Special Feature

When friends and business partners Frank Hoyland, Gary Sheriff and Eric Butcher first cast an eye over the closed Imperial Club in Mexborough in 2010, a germ of an idea began – why not get a foot in the door of the growing micro-brewery market – with its own club as the flagship outlet? Twelve months later, the Imperial Brewery is fast becoming a favourite with the CAMRA afficionados, and is celebrating its first birthday with a four day beer festival, running from 1st-4th December! This promises to be a really special event in the real ales calendar, as the theme is “NEW BREWERIES - NEW ALES” and will feature over 20 new brews from a variety of up and coming local breweries, all of whom like the Imperial have begun brewing in the last year. Not that brewing is the only feature of the Imperial – its live entertainment line-up has some unique features! Every Wednesday is “Buskers Night” hosted by a top performer from agent Nev Page’s extensive roster, and with the support of fellow acts that turn up there are often up to a dozen acts providing non-stop music all night long! Saturday night sees a full spectrum of genres, from rock bands, jazz, big bands, soul and motown to more mainstream solos, duo, trios and bands. Sunday evening is a speciality for the Imperial – Brass Band Night featuring brass bands from all over the region, playing not only to regulars but also to brass band fans who travel from miles around to listen to quality brass band music and to meet up with other musicians. Indeed the club boasts not one, but TWO of its own bands The Imperial Brewery Charity Band, and The Imperial Facebook Band, made up from the regular bandsmen and women who support the weekly concerts, and get together for special charity fundraising events. The Facebook Band can be seen this coming Friday 18th Nov. in fancy dress, raising money for CHILDREN IN NEED and the whole evening is guaranteed to be a cracking night’s first class entertainment, whilst raising much needed funds for this worthy cause.

REMEMBERANCE DAY & CLUBS

Schools Manager at the National Literacy Trust said: “It’s vital that young people have role models in their lives, and celebrities who are good communicators serve as great role models to inspire and motivate young people to work on their own communication skills. WWE® Superstars and Divas are enormously popular and are watched by millions of young people worldwide. We believe that by motivating young people by linking literacy to something they love they will gain the skills they need to live a successful, happy and fulﬁlling life.” To enter, pupils had to choose a topic

reflection about the sacrifices of those who gave their lives for the good of our country, for future generations. And members of the armed forces continue to lose their lives or suffer terrible injuries. Remembrance Sunday always makes me stop to think although I’ve always been something of a pacifist and anti-war. But like millions all around the country, I stand for 2 minutes silence. I know that just about every club would have come to a halt at the appointed hour, tills stop ringing, games halted. There are very strong connections between clubs and the armed services that persist to this day. After WW1, those fortunate to return home, wanted to retain the sense of camaraderie they had known in the trenches. They had been united by the horrors they experienced and didn’t want to lose that connection. One way of doing this was to form clubs and after 1918 there was a spate of Ex-Servicemen’s Clubs, as well as a few ‘Done our Bit’ clubs. In Coventry, some members of the same battalion formed the Howitzers Club, sadly now closed. It was a place where they could feel those close bonds forged through war but also have some good times in peacetime. The Royal British Legion clubs were also invited to affiliate to the CIU and hundreds did so up and down the country. More ExServicemen’s Clubs came along after WW2 as another generation of men sought to keep those close bonds in peacetime but have their own place of recreation. As many of these men grew older, and with the WW1 generation now mostly gone, these clubs have declined but not all for they still play an important role in their communities. Another link with clubs and the services can be seen in the magnificent efforts to raise money for Help the Heroes, a charity dedicated to raising funds for injured service personnel. Every week I hear stories of club members doing all sorts of wonderful things to collect money for this cause and perhaps someone should be keeping a tally- it probably runs into millions by now. Some clubs choose to fundraise for their own members who have come back from war in a worse state. Whether for individuals or the collective cause, club efforts should be congratulated. Just as should those who fought in the trenches, in the D-Day landings, on the high seas or high in the skies. Many never made it back to their clubs to raise a pint of two with their mates.

REVIEW: MADINA LAKE by KT Evans

PREVIEW: MOTLEY CRUE by KT Evans

Whoever had any preconceptions that Madina Lake had gone off the boil and were no longer a band of any force…dine on your words! Ok so fair play they have arguably slipped under the radar recently, however 14th November at Sheffield’s Corporation highlighted exactly why the four piece from Illinois are back on top form with a live stage show to match their bolting energy and presence that just hasn’t gone away. The days when Madina Lake were being played in rock venues, underground bars and hangouts around the globe was therefore successfully proved on the night as not too much of a distant memory… Although not quite filling the main room in the biggest rock venue in the North of England, the atmosphere was enough to ensure the mood was at a certified high throughout the night. Warming up the young crowd and allowing everyone to nicely settle into the swing of things, My Passion, an electro rock five piece from Hertfordshire who not only supplied enough eye candy to go around but also got everyone’s vocal chords nicely warmed up. Sailing through their forty minute set, it would be pretty safe to say My Passion will have a fair few more Steel city fans after their top live performance. A quick stage transformation saw the arrival of two huge translucent balloons along with mysterious piping pointed directly at the audience (water please, it was so bloody hot in there!) which in turn saw the standard dropped lights, booming bass chords as the four piece and headliners of the night Medina Lake lively made their way to the floor. Dressed solely in white, other than lead vocalist Nathan Leone who had adopted a dapper black waste coat, the group were met with huge support as they opened their hour long set with ‘Imagineer,’ an up-tempo track from the band’s latest album World War III. Flinging themselves straight into it (literally) Nathan wasted no time in hurling himself into the crowd…que screams of either pain or excitement, it’s hard to tell and a huge tick for crowd interaction. Performing tracks off all three of the bands studio albums, Madina Lake hit us with confetti balloons, tight melodies and intricate rhythmic sections throughout, with the highlight of the set coming when arguably the most accomplished track off the bands repertoire ‘Here I stand’ was performed. Combining tight vocals with loose chords and an overly catchy melody, Madina Lake clearly still harbour that something special which saw they win fans on both a national aswell as international level. Good work!

So we all knew Motley Crue were going to do something pretty damn spectacular upon their return to the UK’s Arena tour circuit later this year…but we didn’t quite think it would be this good. Having just been announced late last week prior to their first show on 6th December, the bands Daredevil drummer Tommy Lee has spilled their plans for a ‘mind blowing 360 degree drum roller-coaster!’ Confused…yep so were we! Ok so we’ve seen drums being played in a Perspex box, drums being played on raised platforms, even drums being played in mid-air (Leeds Festival 2010, Blink 182, how could you forget?!)…but on a roller coaster? Putting his ideas into motion, Tommy Lee’s original idea was sparked by a blasé attitude he noticed during drumming solos as a child. ‘This idea came about from when I was a kid going to concerts. Whenever the drummer started his drum solo, I wondered why people would leave to go get a beer, buy a t-shirt, restroom, whatever! I wanted to show people what happens behind the drum set so i decided to expose it all by flipping the drums vertical, up-side down, making them disappear ad fly around the audience’s heads!’ Widely known for their gritty reputation to rival the likes of Black Sabbath, Metallica and Slayer, Motley Crue are famed for their garish attitude both on and off stage. Being one of the most influential groups from the growing popular movement of glam rock metal in the early 1980’s, the four piece from Los Angeles have felt world-wide domination having been voted within the ‘Top 10 Heavy Metal bands of all time.’ Excited by the prospect of yet another bizarre turn within the trials and tribulations of the notorious rockers on-road antics, Lee went onto say, ‘Motley Crue brings you on a thrill ride, jump on the 360! Let’s do this! By the way, it’s really f***ing difficult playing while on this ride!’ However, not one to keep the fun all to himself, the drummer will also hand pick fans from the audience to join him for the crazy ride at every show. Fancy your chances on the white-knuckle coaster? Motor Head kick off their hugely anticipated UK tour next month, starting in Birmingham on 6th December, with Nottingham Arena on 8th, Manchester Arena on 11th, Sheffield Arena for 13th December and Wembley on 14th. Tickets are still on general sale priced £45.00 and are available from www.livenation.co.uk.

SNAPITY SNAP

Red Snapper, one of Britain’s most groundbreaking musical outfits, signs with dutch based label, V2 Benelux and is set to release their brand new album, KEY, worldwide in March of 2011. After forming in 1993 and releasing various EPs, the band debuted in 1996 with the album Prince Blimey, at the time a unique use of traditional jazz instrumentation with a contemporary approach. However, it was their live show that impressed many and influenced other ‘dance’ artists to fuse acoustic instruments with electronic sounds. They quickly went on to remix for the likes of Garbage, David Holmes, Sabres of Paradise, Troublefunk amongst others, and broke through on the European continent with their subsequent releases on Warp records, Making Bones and Our Aim is To Satisfy Red Snapper. Red Snapper, originally Rich Thair (drums), Ali Friend (Bass) and David Ayers (Guitar), were joined on stage at a show in 2007 by Tom Challenger on Sax and the new band line-up was born. A few EPs followed, but it wasn’t until 2010 that the band decided to put all their energy into a new full length album, resulting in the blistering KEY, their best piece of music in over 10 years. Key will be the first full length Red Snapper album featuring the aforementioned Tom Challenger, and also sees contributions from vocalists Gavin Clarke (UNKLE, Clay Hill), and in a bold move UK folk songstress Eliza Carthy, plus vocals by the band themselves. Rich Thair adds : “The album is a nod to all things Red Snapper, afrorockabilly to dubjazz via pounding bophop, a soulful and raw mix of

passionate music,”. KEY is set for release in March, which the band will follow up with an extensive tour of Western and Eastern Europe and are keen to return to the festival stages where they belong throughout the summer of 2011.

COLOURMUSIC

Colourmusic return with ‘Tog’, a highlight from their debut album for Memphis Industries ‘My____is Pink’ released in April this year. The band (three quart Oklahoma and one quart Yorkshire) will be appearing in town on the 28th at The Harley on Glossop Road. ‘Tog’ falls somewhere between the Tom Tom Club and Iggy Pop’s The Idiot (with perhaps a hint of a glam rock stomp). Lyrically it is part eulogy to a perhaps real, perhaps imagined city as a living, breathing lover. Conveying heat and sensuality, wrapped up with layers of paranoia and claustrophobia ‘Tog’ is both threatening and ﬁst pumping and a great introduction to the band’s joyous yet dark world. Colourmusic are lead singer Ryan Hendrix, Nick Ley (drums) and Colin Fleishacker (bass), and axe man Nick Turner (Colourmusic’s Yorkshire ambassador).

Angler’s Corner Racing Form by Clint Walker

I’ve had a cracker this week; after not really being in the mood for fishing on Tuesday, I dragged myself out of bed and set off through the morning rush hour to a local venue. Arriving in a fairly foul mood as a result of school run traffic, I proceeded to a small lake on the complex which I’ve not fished before and met up with a couple of lads from a forum I subscribe to, and shared a cup of tea and some ideas before settling into a nearby swim. My intention was to fish for perch; the fish on this particular venue are reputed to run to 5lbs+, and. with a personal best of just over 3lbs, I was keen to see if the rumours were true. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a specialist perch angler, but I do know they like worms, casters and red maggots, so the night before, I’d made a right mess in the kitchen by liquidising a fair amount into a sloppy pulp and adding a dash of Pallatrax liquid earthworm fluid! Sorry darling! Tackling up was simple too; a simple running feeder rig comprising a Drennan ‘Carp Maggot’ swimfeeder (a small closed feeder with the weight at the bottom), 6lbs mainline, 3lbs hook link and a size 16 loaded with a couple of red maggots. The messy slop was poured into the feeder before it was quickly cast the edge of reed bed......The conditions were perfect; overcast with a light drizzle and gentle breeze, so the only thing which would prevent success was the tea coloured water; hopefully my stinky mix would solve that problem! After an hour of recasting to the same spot to get some bait down, I was rewarded with a couple of gentle taps on my quivertip which developed into a rattling bite. Lifting the rod, my first thoughts were of a big roach as the fish immediately cane towards the surface and set off in a series of darting runs..... you can imagine how pleased I was to see not a roach, but a big perch break the surface just shy of my waiting landing net. Finally pulling the stripey over the net cord, I was quick to weigh it and photograph it before gently lowering it back to please someone else; it went 2lbs 15ozs on the scales and was in immaculate condition; not quite the monster I’d been after, but a good start. Bites were hard to come by, a couple of roach, skimmers, small perch and a bonus 9lbs carp were all that came my way for the next two hours, then I connected with a lump which fought back..... After a five minute battle, the biggest perch I’ve ever seen broke the surface and glared at me before rolling over and snapping my hook link with some ease! It was easily 4lbs if not bigger and I couldn’t believe it had gone.....The two lads with me were almost as downcast as I, but do you know something? It’s still in there, I’ve seen it, and I will catch it!

by Timelord

This weekend there are only six races due to be shown on terrestrial TV on Saturday (Channel 4). There will be three from Haydock, where the day’s top race is the Betfair Chase, and three from Ascot, including the Amlin 1965 Chase and the Coral Hurdle, both of which are Grade 2 races. It is always worthwhile to keep an eye on the Irish NH scene early on in the season. On Sunday at Punchestown there are three interesting races from 1.10 to 2.10. The first two are Grade 2 Novice chases that may provide clues for later in the season while the Grade 1 Morgiana Hurdle at 2.10 looks like being a superb contest featuring the return of the Champion Hurdler Hurricane Fly. Starting with Haydock: 2.30 The betfair.com/paulnicholls “Fixed Brush” Handicap Hurdle, Grade3, 3 miles: With the Nicholls stable firing in the winners left, right and centre it is hard to look anywhere else for the winner. His top-weighted King of the Night has won his last couple and gets the vote over Kayf Aramis, E major, Any Given Day, Buena Vista and Los Nadis. Westlin Winds and Sentry Duty look to be two of the others that could enter calculations and I was very interested to see Benny Be Good being persevered with over hurdles. If King of the Night doesn’t line up then the reserves are Kayf Aramis and then Benny Be Good, followed by E Major. The day’s big race, the Grade 1 Betfair Chase (3 miles) is next on the list at 3.05. This sees the return to action of the Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Long Run. He has to have a very good chance but is a skinny price to do so (currently 10/11). Given that he faces several serious rivals I prefer to look elsewhere for the value in the race. My value choice is Diamond Harry who is a seriously good horse in his own right and has an excellent record first time out. He has won 2/2 at the track and has won 11/13 career races (2/2 NHF, 5/7 hurdle and 3/4 chases). He was my selection for the Charlie Hall chase at Wetherby a few weeks back but was found to have banged himself in his box and was a non runner as a result. That may turn out to have been a fortuitous event. Not that this is a two horse race by any means. Kauto Star is reported to be in fine fettle by Paul Nicholls and is a previous triple winner of this race. Weird Al impressed when winning the Charlie Hall and, having recently joined Donald McCain, may yet have more improvement to come. Irish raider Rubi Light was in the process of beating Sizing Europe when coming to grief at the last at Gowran Park and was re-mounted to finish third. He steps up in trip here but may have more improvement to come also. Time for Rupert is another with a tall home reputation and Nacarat and Pure Faith are no mugs. All in all I cannot see the 10/11 about Long Run being shorter on the day and with half a dozen seriously good horses in opposition it cannot represent good value. On the other hand the 7/1 currently available for Diamond Harry looks to me to be pretty good value given his overall profile and first time out record. The last race from Haydock is the 3.40 – the Betfair Multiples Handicap Chase (3 miles), for horses rated 0-145, Class 2. The selection here is Nicky Richards’ Skippers Brig who is another with a fine track record (2/2).

Killyglen may give him most to do with Mostly Bob, Chief Dan George, Ballyvesey, Sun Tzu, Tamarinbleu, Merigo and Aigle D’Or scrapping it out for the minors. Ascot: 2.10 Amlin 1965 Chase Grade 2 - 2miles, 3furlongs: Master Minded needs to put what was, for him, a poor run behind him if he is to score here. In contrast Somersby won last time and is my percentage call to follow up. Medermit may be the one to give him most problems having won the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter on his last start. However, Capatain Chris was still going well in that race when coming to grief and cannot be discounted either. Two other last time out scorers Stagecoach Pearl and Lancetto also come into the reckoning with the former being preferred of the two. Kalahari King is a dangerous horse to dismiss but has to bounce back to the form that he was showing a couple of years ago if he is to figure. Finally a probably long priced outsider with more than a squeak on my figures is The Sawyer who it may be worth having a “saver” on. 2.45 The Coral Hurdle, 2 miles, 3½ furlongs, Grade 2: Celestial Halo ran really well to win the Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton a couple of weeks ago and looks to be at his peak just now. With the Nicholls stable firing on all cylinders he must have a sound chance of going in again. However the trainer has also entered King of the Night so check which one runs here. If the last named is the final entry he becomes the selection. Of the opposition Katchit could prove most dangerous if fit enough on his return to action. With Lough Derg and Afsoun having seen better days it could turn out that Overturn and Oscar Whisky are the two who will scrap it out for the minors with Katchit. 3.20 The Carey Group Handicap Chase, 2 miles, 1 furlong, Class 2: Anquetta won here pretty impressively 3 weeks ago and merits the vote to follow up. That day he beat King Edmund, Darcey’s Dancer, Torphichen and Takeroc who all re-oppose here. They will all need to find extra to reverse the form with the winner but the two that may be most likely to do in my opinion are Alan King’s Torphichen and Evan Williams’ Darcey’s Dancer. Of the others Fix the Rib has been off the track for a long while but may be dangerous if fit enough. Sunday: Punchestown: 1.10 Craddockstown Novice Chase, 2miles, Grade 2: To my mind Lucky William stands out here and can beat these with Whodoyouthink, Imperial Shabra and Delphi Mountain providing most danger. 1.40 Florida Pearl Novice Chase, 2miles 6furlongs, Grade 2: This looks a most competitive affair. Donnas Palm gets a narrow vote to prevail over Close Review, Cross Appeal, First Lieutenant and Four Commanders. 2.10 Morgiana Hurdle, Grade 1: If Hurricane Fly is to be beaten this term it may be that this is the time to do so. I am not expecting this to happen very often in his career but Willie Mullins has also entered Thousand Stars and So Young who are both good horses and cannot be ruled out. However Jessie Harrington has entered Oscars Well and it is this one that appeals most as the likely value in the race if the Champion Hurdler from last season is to be beaten. Michael Bowe’s Akatara and Charlie Byrnes’ Pittoni make up the field and are decent horses on their day. Selection summary: Saturday: Haydock: 2.30 King of the Night, reserves: Kayf Aramis, Benny Be Good, E Major; 3.05 Diamond Harry (Nap) – reserves: Kauto Star, Weird Al 3.40 Skippers Brig – reserves: Killyglen, Mostly Bob Ascot: 2.10 Somersby – reserves: Medermit, Stagecoach Pearl, The Sawyer (e/w) 2.45 Celestial Halo – reserves: King of the Night, Katchit, Overturn, Oscar Whisky 3.20 Anquetta – reserves: Torphichen, Darcey’s Dancer

Sunday League

by Michael Clarke

League Cup 1st Round Premier Division Greenhill White Hart were made to work hard to progress into round two against Third Division Centre Spot. Brothers Jordan and Daniel Beech got the goals for Greenhill, with Ben Sargent with the reply for the Centre Spot. Winn Gardens of the the Second Division defeated the First Division’s basement side Beighton Magpies 3-0. Beighton have struggled this season and are winless in the league. Liam Young scored an hat-trick as Ridgeway Athletic saw off City Taxis New Inn 4-1 at Westﬁeld Sports Centre. Nathan Ridgeway also scored for Ridgeway. Division One leaders HSBC beat Greaseborough U21 6-2 at HBC Sports Club. Tinsley Trophy Preliminary Round An entertaining game at Handsworth Grange School saw Woodhouse Juniors and Heeley share twelve goals between them, nive of them belonging to the latter. Goals from Daniel Hodder (3), Richard Mason (2), Karlda Lewin, Danny Statham, Sam Greaves and Cedric Mukunzi made sure Heeley did not have to endure a shock in this early stage of the competition. The other game taking place in the Tinsley Trophy also saw a big win, this time it came in Mosborough U21’s favour. They beat Throstles U21 6-1 at the Old Westﬁeld School Playing Fields. Premier Division We have new leaders in the Premier DIvision, after Hackenthorpe A defeated High Noon 4-1 to take their place at the top of the league. Thomas Nolan caught the eye in the game, registering a brace for Hackenthorpe. Last years’ double winners Royal Earl continued their good form with a 3-0 away win over Crookes. They now sit only three points back from the lead, with a game in hand. Royal Earl will face both of the top two away in early December. Sharrow United sit in fourth place. They beat Mosborough A 2-0 at the weekend. Bjorn Taylor converted a penalty for Sharrow, with teh other goal coming courtesy of an own goal. The mid-table game betwen Handworth Turf Tavern and Packhorse Inn was not short of excitement, with the Turf Tavern winning the game 3-2.

Division One Brunsmeer Abbey cut HSBC’s lead at the top of the First Division to just three points, when they beat Jack-in-a-Box 4-2 away from home. Brunsmeer’s goals came from Sam Roberts (2), Leon Wainman and Matthew Clarke. Brunsmeer have one game in had of HSBC, who sit have sixteen points from six games. Two goals from Christopher Spooner and one from Jonathan Roper gave Arundel a 3-1 win over the Intake Ball Inn. The result means Arundel have won their last three league games, and still remain unbeaten since their relegation in the Summer. Division Two Leaders Rawson Spring beat Norton Oaks A 3-1 Oughtibridge at home on Sunday. Rawson Spring will be glad of the win, as it comes only a week after thier first league loss. Penistone Church kept up the pressure on the Rawson Spring, when they just edged a tight contest away against Mosborough B. Gareth Brown with the vital goal for Penistone. Hackenthorpe Villa held Hackenthorpe B to a 1-1 at Reignhead Farm, in which I supposed could be dubbed the ‘Hackenthorpe Derby’. Jordan Caley scored for Hackenthorpe B with Bradley Seville getting the goal for the Villa. Division Three Staffordshire Arms won their second game of the season in the Third Division. Oliver Haywood grabbed the only goal in their win over the Barrel Inn. An exciting game at the Springs Academy saw the Carlton Social beat Norton Oaks B 4-2. Carlton now sit in the third, only three points behind league leaders Centre Spot. U21 Division Grenoside U21 and Sharrow United U21 shared ten goals between each other at Myers Grove School. The latter ran out 6-4 winners, to move themselves a point clear at the top of the table. Norton Oaks U21 put behind them a three game losing streak, by seeing off Dronfield Athletic 5-1. A real team effort from Drinfield saw all five goals come from different sources.

MILLERS LEAVE IT LATE MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk

A late show by Lewis Grabban gave the Millers a passage into round two following a thrilling cuptie at Barrow. After trailing for most of the game through Paul Rutherford’s opener, the Millers striker equalised with a powerful effort in the 81st minute before netting a penalty four minutes later to decide the tie. Manager Andy Scott was forced into one change from the team that beat Aldershot last week, with Tom Newey returning in place of Jon Harley who had not received permission to play. With a packed Holker Street providing the perfect cup atmosphere, it was the Millers who managed to carve out the first chance of the game; Grabban was given time to cross from the right which Gareth Evans met at the far post, but he couldn’t generate enough power on his header and it was caught comfortably by Danny Hurst. After a short spell of pressure by the home side which included three successive corners, Evans was given the chance again to put Rotherham in front. Dale Tonge this time provided the cross from the corner of the area, but the Millers winger just couldn’t direct his effort on target. The visitors did break the deadlock 16 minutes in, when one of the home side’s corner-kicks proved key. The ball wasn’t caught by Conrad Logan, and as he looked to retrieve his error, Paul Rutherford watched his volley trickle into an empty net. A lively Jack Mackreth finished off a mazy run down the right before crossing for Adam Boyes whose toepoke rebounded off the bar. Buoyed by this, the Millers immediately went in search of an equaliser with another cross coming in from the right. Alex Revell did well to get in front of his man, but his header was just wide of Hurst’s post. Hurst did have to be alert minutes later though, as he rushed out to deny Chris Holroyd from Logan’s long kick. The Millers were beginning to get more success down the right, and this time Grabban took it alone, twisting and turning before firing wide of Hurst’s goal on 35 minutes. However, as Rotherham pushed, they were susceptible to Barrow’s counter as they tried for a second with Louis Almond bringing a good save from Logan. With half-time rapidly approaching, the Millers almost went in at the break two down. Almond tussled with

ROVERS YOUTH WIN AT BRADFORD MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

The Rovers arrived at a misty Bradford and a pitch heavily covered with dew, but that soon cleared for the game to commence in fine weather. A minutes silence was held for Armistice Day, before the home team set the ball rolling. Bradford enjoyed much of the possession in the early minutes, but, apart from a corner gained straight from the kick off, they didn’t cause many problems for Aaron Busby in the Rovers goal. Having weathered the early pressure from the home team, Rovers finally got into the game mounting an attack around the ten minute mark. Paddy Mullen was busy on the right, though his crosses and corner kicks were not up to his usual standard. Then, in the 26th minute, Joshua Meade was the first Rovers player to have a strike on goal, putting his 25 yard shot well wide. To some extent, periods of the game were scrappy, but Rovers’ Jacob Gibson had a good run down the left before sending the ball out to Mullen on the right. That cross went out for a goal kick, but seconds later he took a good strike on goal from just outside the penalty area, forcing Bradford keeper Tongue to dive to his right and parry the ball away. Following a good build-up from Rovers on the left hand side, the ball was put inside to Mullen, his chance going wide. But then in the 36th minute, Mullen’s perfectly placed corner was met in the middle by Jacob Gibson and his good header found the back of the net, putting the visitors ahead. Just four minutes later, Chris Whincop slalomed around three defenders and slotted the ball past the Bradford keeper; the excellent individual effort sent Rovers in at half time with a two goal lead. At the beginning of the second half Bradford stormed

straight on the attack: Boote got to the left byline, only to see his low cross missed in the middle by his teammates. Then, McGurnie had a shot beaten away by Busby, who got down to his right before blocking the follow-up shot too. The Rovers found themselves under pressure for seven or so minutes, before working their way back into the contest. Around the half hour mark Jordan Ball’s overhead kick was saved by Tongue and, minutes later, he put a shot wide of the far post from the left. Some good work from Mullen in the 68th minute won him the ball, which he took to the byline before pulling it back for Whincop who had a clear sight on goal. However, his first touch let him down and his eventual shot was blocked. Bradford began to hit back again and, in the 75th minute, Busby was called into action to tip a free kick over the bar, at the other end of the pitch Whincop turned his marker well and raced on goal, only for his shot from the edge of the penalty area to be saved. The action continued as a Rovers corner was met by the onrushing Lucas, but as he jumped to fly-kick the ball it cannoned off his legs and went wide. Whincop then took a shot but it was put wide, and a good interchange between Ball and substitute Harry Middleton gave the latter a chance to score, the Bradford keeper saving his shot. As the final whistle went it brought a good win for the Rovers lads.

DON’T FORGET OUR £1 DRAW ON A SUNDAY NIGHT!

Jason Taylor as he chased a hopeful ball; but after eventually shrugging him off, was denied by the legs of Logan. And with seconds remaining of first-half stoppage time, Hurst was forced into the save of the match to deny Revell. Holroyd flicked on Taylor’s clearance, and the Millers striker struck early with power but was denied by the fingertips of the ‘keeper. Both sides struggled to take hold of the second-half and another run down the Millers right by Grabban almost created an opportunity, before Boyes stung the palms of Logan with a drive from the edge of the area that was eventually gathered up. As the game ticked past the hour mark, boss Andy Scott made a double substitution in the hope of overcoming the recent Millers slump in the FA Cup. Brett Williams, fresh from an impressive run-out in the reserves on Wednesday replaced Holroyd, whilst Luke Foster was withdrawn in order for Danny Schofield to come on. The latter was handed the best chance of the second-half collecting Evans’ cross, shifting the ball onto his left foot and blasting high and wide from eight yards. As the home side dropped a little deeper, the Millers continued to push, and Grabban again forced Hurst into a save with a 20 yard effort that was destined for the bottom corner. Hurst was beginning to play a more prominent role in the game as we entered the final 10 minutes, tipping over after an excellent downwards header by Harrison. However, within a minute he had been beaten. Newey’s diagonal ball beat the Bluebirds defence and top scorer Grabban was in on the right-hand side to blast into the top of the net. It was all Rotherham United now, and moments after Williams was put through and after he was denied by Hurst, Grabban just couldn’t reach the ball to tap it in. The Millers were then handed the perfect opportunity to complete the turnaround as Evans’ cross was deemed to have been handled in the area. Grabban stepped up, sent the ‘keeper the wrong way and put it high into the corner, giving the Millers an excellent chance to make round two.Logan was on hand to deny Boyes who had chased a long ball forward, and from his clearance, Grabban almost claimed a hat-trick but for another save from Hurst. Former Miller Andy Nicholas was introduced in the latter stages and his first action, a long throw caused havoc in the Millers area before they eventually managed to get the ball clear with Grabban and see out the remaining two minutes of extra-time.

Sheffield Wednesday News and Views 2011/12

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 OWLS ON TO ROUND 2 MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Sheffield Wednesday advanced into the second round of the FA Cup with goals from Chris Lines and Chris O’Grady enough to defeat League 2 side Morecambe on Sunday. The hosts ensured there would be an exciting finish when Laurence Wilson converted a second half penalty to pull a goal back for Morecambe. Victory for the Owls means a second round date against either Maidenhead United or Aldershot Town at Hillsborough. There was a typical FA Cup feel to the tie with a bumper crowd inside the Globe Arena, making for a lively atmosphere. The first chance to register an early strike fell to the visitors after five minutes when good work from O’Grady gave Lewis Buxton a sight at goal, but the full back fired wide of the target. Momentum was certainly with Wednesday, who continued to boss the early exchanges of the first round clash, with some industrious play in Morecambe’s final third. And the breakthrough duly arrived on 18 minutes and in some style from Lines. Superb link-up play between O’Grady and Lines on the edge of the area, gave the latter time to size up a strike at goal and the midfielder curled a delightful side-footer inside the far post. Wednesday continued to ask the questions after taking the lead, with the home side rarely threatening Richard O’Donnell’s goal.

The Owls were dominant in midfield as James O’Connor delivered a testing cross that flashed in front of goal - only just out of the reach of Gary Madine in the centre. Garry Hunter’s strike from distance five minutes before the interval forced O’Donnell into his first save of the half before O’Grady’s attempted lob over Barry Roche fell the wrong side of the upright. Trailing by one goal, Morecambe came out of the traps fast after the break and almost drew level when Wilson cut in from the right to launch a fierce effort that struck the top of the crossbar. Wednesday had a penalty appeal waved away when Madine’s header appeared to strike an arm in the area before O’Grady doubled the Owls’ advantage on 53 minutes. O’Connor floated a cross into the area and O’Grady rose the highest to power his header home from 12 yards to put the visitors two goals to the good. But Morecambe were soon back in the contest when Lines was adjudged to have blocked Gary McDonald’s cross with an arm inside the area and Wilson did the damage from the spot to halve the arrears. That goal breathed new life into the hosts as McDonald volleyed on target, bringing a comfortable save from O’Donnell before O’Grady saw his near-post strike flash just wide of the target. A driving run upfield by Lines gave the midfielder another opening from distance but the former Bristol Rovers man saw his low strike narrowly miss the target. Morecambe could certainly sense a comeback on the cards and went within inches of grabbing an equaliser when substitute Lewis Alessandra’s

deflected shot flew the wrong side of O’Donnell left hand upright. The home side thought they had levelled in the last minute when McDonald headed past O’Donnell after a fine save by the keeper from substitute Phil Jevons but the offside flag was raised to rule out the strike. Despite the late pressure, Wednesday were not to be denied victory and stayed strong to advance into the next round, where Maidenhead or Aldershot await.

Morecambe: Roche, Fenton, Reid (Alessandra 80), Hunter (Jevons 59), Ellison, McCready, Drummond, McDonald, Wilson, Parrish (Haining 59), Carlton Unused substitutes: Routhledge, Fleming, Charnock, Price Wednesday: O’Donnell, Buxton, Batth, R Johnson, Bennett, O’Connor, Lines, Semedo, J Johnson (Sedgwick 70), Madine, O’Grady Unused substitutes: Jameson, Reynolds, Prutton, Coke, Lowe, Morrison

MEGSON PLEASED WITH PROGRESS GAFFERʼS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Owls boss Gary Megson was delighted with his side’s progression in the FA Cup at Morecambe on Sunday. The Owls defeated the Shrimps 2-1 at the Globe Arena to advance into the second round of the competition and Megson said: “I thought we had the most difficult tie in the round, to come here against Morecambe who are doing really well in their division. “I thought we played some good stuff in the first half and there was a lot of expectation on us but I thought we did really well.” Chris Lines opened the scoring for Wednesday, his first goal for the club, before Chris O’Grady doubled the Owls’ advantage shortly after the interval. Morecambe were given a lifeline from the penalty spot when Laurence Wilson converted from 12 yards but despite late pressure from the hosts, Wednesday held strong to ensure there was no cup upset at the Globe Arena. He added: “I’m obviously pleased because we are into the next round. The live TV cameras weren’t here for no reason; they came in case there was an FA Cup shock. “We’ve come here, we had everything to lose but all to gain by getting into the next round which is what we have done.” Wednesday will now face either Maidenhead United or Aldershot Town at Hillsborough in round two and Megson was pleased with the home draw. “We want to play at Hillsborough,” he said. “That is the main thing. It will be a big occasion for either of those two teams and all of the expectation will be on ourselves.”
