SINGING LEGEND SHOWS SUPPORT FOR CHARITY M.V. MOBILITY Legendary singer Tony Christie paid a special visit to Shefﬁeld’s Weston Park Hospital to support a friend’s fundraising drive for the hospital’s cancer charity. Tony who is celebrating his 50th year in showbusiness delighted patients and staff when he took a break from his hectic performing schedule, to lend his star power to Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity. The Conisbrough-born singer was supporting his friend of more than 50 years, Jim Beachill , aged 67, from Conisbrough who was doing a presentation at the hospital, with grandchildren Jack, 14,

and Elishia, 12, about their trek to the Great Wall of China for the Cancer Charity. Tony, who is a patron of the Cancer Charity, said: “I’m really pleased to be visiting Weston Park Hospital and supporting Jim’s hard work for the charity. “The Cancer Charity does fantastic work to help families affected by cancer, by supporting research and treatment at the hospital and I’d encourage everything to support the cause.” Jim, Elishia and Jack’s trek raised £20,000 in sponsorship with a donation to be made to the Cancer Charity once all the cash has been collected.

Jim said: “We enjoyed the trek which was part of my ‘bucket list’ – it’s a list of things I want to do before I kick the bucket! “ The intrepid trio have previously raised funds for the charity by tackled an 80 mile walk along the length of Hadrian’s Wall in 2009. Rachel Thorpe, director of Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity said: “It’s fantastic to have such great support from Jim and from Tony. It was a lovely day, patients and staff enjoyed meeting Tony and hearing Jim’s presentation too.” The Cancer Charity exists to support the work of Weston Park Hospital, one of just

four specialist cancer hospitals in England. The Cancer Charity needs to raise as much as £1.3 million a year to continue funding cancer support services, and research at the Shefﬁeldbased hospital. Patients from across the North Trent region, which covers South

Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire, are treated under the guidance of experts from Weston Park Hospital in Shefﬁeld. To ﬁnd out more visit www. wphcancercharity. org.uk

Copley’s Column

I noticed a posting on social network site facebook from a friend of mine Kim SargentEastwood who had had one of her postings deleted. Intrigued to find out the reason, I discovered that she had supposedly committed a cardinal sin by asking if anybody knew of a comedian who could help out at a children’s charity night. Quite rightly, in my view, she posted this on the site that would be visited by the most artistes, which is the ‘Save the Working Men’s Club and Entertainment page .This of course was merely a plea for help and in no way an attempt to advertise the evening. However, the powers that be, the admins of this organisation deleted the post as it apparently broke one of their rules regarding advertising on this site, which of course she was not. This action, in my opinion was extremely petty, and having deleted her, invited her to put the question on various other sites, being those of the admins. What she was supposed to do had she had none of these as Facebook ‘friends’ the Lord only knows. I put my two pennyworth into the debate which attracted much interest, (111 postings) before they decided that another deletion was in order. I attempted to get more input with another posting which was also deleted. Whatever happened to transparency? Organisations such as this should be publically seen to aid charity events, particularly in view of the fact that clubs hosting charity events generate much needed money from bar takings on these occasions. The hierarchy seem to be maximising probably the only bit of power they have ever had by being seen to be doing something, even if this is detrimental to those involved. The good thing to come out of all this nonsense is that presumably as a result of the attention brought up on the very site that deleted the original posting. Kim has now got fixed up with a comedian. Game, set and match to common sense. I fervently hope that the admins get their heads together and democratically vote for a rule change with regard to charities, although of course in this instance no rule was broken, as

Kim was merely looking for a bit of help and in no way was trying to advertise the evening. The Mercury Newspaper, including myself is committed to do what we can to assist in charity events. Any worthwhile cause can always rely on a bit of publicity in this column. I did ask for an e-mail enlightening me on what the Save the Working Men’s Club and Entertainment had already achieved, besides one benefit night, but have not received anything at the time of writing. It goes without saying that I shall report any information fairly and of course we all share the same aim in this matter. Sheffield United are in great form at the moment having won twelve of their last fourteen games, but instead of celebrating this, they appear to be more interested in Sheffield Wednesday losing. On Tuesday night, United had a great win at promotion rivals Huddersfield, yet many fans ringing in to Radio Sheffield’s popular ‘Praise or Grumble’ phone in were more interested in Wednesday’s defeat at home to Stevenage. Saturday was no different when the Owls were beaten by Chesterfield. United’s win against Preston came second to Chesterfield’s win. I realise that I do put myself up to be shot sometimes, but the number of sneering texts I received from so called football supporters was way over the top, and were answered by a bit of my Anglo Saxon vocabulary. When will these dimwits realise that it would be great for both Sheffield clubs to be promoted. My ideal scenario would be to see both of our clubs in the premiership. The fourth biggest city in the country with both clubs in the third tier of football just makes us a complete laughing stock. It is ridiculous for all the Blades fans to be crowing as they are as doubtless all of them have never seen their team win anything in their lives, apart from the fourth division championship. The club is hardly massive. A smashing lass I see in the Forest Showbar, Michelle Grieg sadly reported on Facbook that her mum had passed away. I sensed her grief and was totally gutted when shortly afterwards her Dad had also died. I would like to take this opportunity to convey my sincere condolences.

ALBERT SNODGRASS

I said to my girlfriend, “I’m sorry for treating you really badly recently. How can I make it up to you?” “Well you can take me to the cinema tonight.” “Consider it done. I’ll even pick you up afterwards.” My new girlfriend just found out that I’m 42. She said, “You told me that you were 28 and a half!” I said, “I am if you think about it.” My wife called me last week. She said, “Three of the girls in the office have just received some flowers for Valentines Day, they are absolutely gorgeous.” I said, “That’s probably why they’ve received flowers then.” My wife came home from work to find me sitting watching the football. “I’ve decided I’m leaving you, all you do is talk about football you think about nothing else,” she said. “I’m also seeing someone else truth be told.” “Really?” I replied. “What team does he support?” The wife stormed up to me earlier “Do you know what day it is today?” “Apple pie” I replied. “Ah, very funny” she snarled, “when’s my birthday?” I said “Strawberry gateaux.” “You’re an idiot” she screamed before slamming the door. Looks like I’m in trouble now, I always get in trouble when my memory desserts me. I asked my girlfriend “Babe, the Champions’ League is on tonight, can we go out for dinner once it’s over?” “What?!” she exclaimed “You want to wait until ten o’clock to have dinner?” “No, don’t be silly” I replied, “I mean the 19th of May” A policeman pulled me over last night. “Is this yours?” he asked. I said, “No, it belongs to the company I work for. I’m just using it out of work hours to help my brother move house.” “What’s on the back?” he asked. I said, “A fridge freezer, a washing machine and a double mattress.” “Can you take the key out of the ignition and step off the moped for me sir.” I’ve just been into my local pet shop. I said, “How much is that doggy in the window?” “The one with the waggly tail?” the owner replied, laughing. “No, the one with three legs. I’ve only got twenty quid,” I replied.

Celebrating Fish and Chips National Chip Week 2012 - 20th-26th February 2012

FISH & CHIP FACTS

As a nation we just love our chips and 10% of the entire British potato crop is needed to supply all the fish and chip shops across the country Fish and Chip sales boom in a recession From March to November 2008, there were more than 548 million visits to fish and chip shops – up 5 per cent from 523 million in 2007 Fried fish began in working-class London at the beginning of Queen Victoria’s Reign, selling the leftovers from Billingsgate fish market. Fried ‘chipped’ potatoes appeared in Lancashire around the 1860s the two were served together somewhere around 1870. In 1845 vinegar was first recommended to be splashed over fish and chips by victorian cook, Eliza Acton, as a means of sweetening the fish. Joseph Malin opened the first fish & chip shop in Cleveland Street, London in the 1860’s.

In 1906 in Lancashire, Theodore Clegg opened a 70 seaterfish and chip restaurant and divided his customers into three classes - first, second and third according to their personal appearance and social status. In 1940 fish and chips was the only ‘restau rant’ food not to be rationed during the Second World War. More than 283 million portions of fish and chips are sold in the UK each year. Yorkshire people scoff more than 69 million portions a year. Fish and chips has 334 less calories than an average portion of chicken Tikka Masala, deep pan cheese and tomato pizza or doner kebab. Did you know that the fish and chip shop market is worth £1.2bn? This means that every £1 of every £100 spent on food is spent in a fish and chip shop One out of every four British potatoes are made into chips – that’s approximately 1.5 million tonnes/year

y r o t is H ip h C & h Fis 1860 –There is still a lot of debate about whether the first fish and chip shop opened in London or the North. Was the first chip shop Joseph Malin’s in London’s East End, or was it Mr Lee’s chippie on Oldham market, Lancashire?

1863 – Mr Lee, expanded and opened a chip shop in Oldham town, the second chip shop to be opened in Britain – according to Joseph Malin that is! 1920 – The mechanical potato peeler was invented, which was a great boon for chippies, as traditional chips are made from peeled potatoes. But remember you can cook chips with their skins on – they taste great and it saves time too 1920 onwards – Fish and chips shops were called ‘Fried Fish Shops’ and as can be seen at the Black Country Museum, where a replica , chippie from Willenhall can be seen the from ed vert con n they were ofte front room of a house

1930’s –The balance of protein, carbohydrate and vitamins found in ﬁsh and chips kept the Territorial Army well fed as they prepared for battle in special training camps

1940 – Fish and Chips were one of the few foods that were not rationed during World War 11 1960’s - Today’s most popular potato variety, the Maris Piper was ﬁrst commercially grown 1960 – Housewives celebrated as the ﬁrst frozen chips went on sale. From freezer to plate in just minutes, this tasty invention really made their lives easier

SPIRITUAL

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Secrets to Happiness We all want to be happy, don’t we? There are certain things that help us achieve happiness, for example Love, Money, Relationships and Inner peace. Spiritual Wisdom Spiritual Wisdom is contained in ancient scriptures. These originated in India and are the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. The Masters of Vedana taught that we live in two worlds simultaneously – the ‘Inner World’ and the ‘Outer World.’ We cannot control the Outer World but we can the Inner World. To be happy it is necessary that we maintain both of these worlds. Accept Responsibility The way that you react to different experiences is a direct expression of who you are. Whatever event occurs is the result of your desires, actions and re-actions and so it is important that you accept full responsibility. Rather than focusing on the negative remember to count your blessings, as this will help you cope with whatever challenges come your way. Make the Choice Awareness is the practice of staying awake and choosing how to react to things. The more aware you are the greater control you will have regarding the path your life takes. Practicing awareness can lead to a profound change in your mental outlook on life. As you increase your awareness you will attract better people, better jobs and better opportunities for yourself. Count your Blessings Begin each day by counting your blessings and understand that you are in a better place than some in this world. Realise that if you wait for happiness you could be waiting a long time and instead make it happen! This is the perfect moment to be happy. Treasure the things that you have. Be Optimistic Why wait until you feel down before you think of looking up? You have a choice in every bad situation to either fall into the darkness or brush the darkness aside and light a pink or green candle for love and compassion. Always choose the positive attitude regardless of the situation! Seek the sunshine; don’t look into the black shadow of gloom.

Wisdom Wisdom turns into strength. If you have a large task load prioritise each task and complete one at a time. If you are in a negative situation turn it around and look for the positive. My interpretation of being wise is having the ability to adapt to any situation. Be cautious and don’t rush in. First consider who/what you are dealing with and beware of people who may try to manipulate you. Be that wise old owl that sits on the fence and watch how things develop. Follow your Heart We all have to put what we love ﬁrst. Every success starts with small steps, so focus in the direction of your dream and make any changes large or small that will help you to get there. Don’t live in a daydream make it reality. Follow your heart and make your dreams come true. Find Light in Darkness When the sun sets the world seems a little colder. Whatever your thoughts or mood a bright light shines within you and is bursting to come out. Imagine a gorgeous sunset inside of you right now. There are brilliant reds, oranges, pinks and purples, experience its radiating warmth spreading throughout your body. Feel your inner sunset grow larger and brighter, illuminating you from the inside out. Thought for Today (Mantra) Think to yourself - I am ﬁlled with beautiful healing light and divine rays illuminate my path and guide my steps. I am safe within this radiance which protects and shields me in every way. I have it inside me, for I am the light and I shine forth.

SHEFFIELD CITY A NOVEL IDEA FOR SUPERMARKET IN COUNCILʼS FREE YOUR USED BOOKS CHIP PAN SAFETY INSULATION SCHEME Sheffield Libraries is launching a new MESSAGE initiative to encourage people to put their used books to good use and recycle them and donate them to their local library. All Libraries in Sheffield will now accept donated books, talking books and music CDs. This is part of a scheme to help libraries buy even more new books. Frecheville, Firth Park and the Central Library will be the first libraries to offer readers the chance to purchase the donated books from the new ‘Give and Take’ section for 50p. Councillor Mick Rooney Cabinet Member for Communities said “Take a leaf out of our book, and get involved by donating There are two ways households are books that you have loved but now want eligible: 1) Area by area When the scheme moves to share with others, such as your old to a new area of Sheffield, we write to all holiday reads or your unwanted Christmas presents.

Supermarket giant Asda has vowed not to promote chip pans to customers after criticism by South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue (SYFR) over an ad in the retailer’s monthly magazine. SYFR expressed disappointment that the supermarket was marking national chip week (February 20 to 26) by encouraging shoppers to buy a cut price chip pan in the February edition of ‘Asda’ mag. Chip pans are one of the biggest causes of accidental fire deaths and injury in the home, causing hundreds of deaths and several fatalities in the UK every year. In South Yorkshire alone, chip pans have caused more than 500 house fires since 2007, killing two people and injuring more than 100. But following SYFR’s comments, a spokesman for Asda told The Star newspaper: “Our intention was to promote ways for families to participate in National Chip Week. “The Asda Magazine team would like to thank the South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue for pointing out our oversight. “They have our word we won’t promote chip pans in the future.” Diane Malpass, South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue’s (SYFR) head of community safety, said: “It’s perhaps hard to believe, in this day and age, that people still use chip pans. But our data shows they remain a real and present danger. You wouldn’t fill a container with flammable liquid and light a flame under it, yet using a chip pan poses the same kind of danger. “Oven chips or thermostat controlled fryers are much safer, meaning there is no need whatsoever for people to continue putting their lives at risk.” Last year, SYFR ran a successful cooking fire safety campaign which helped cut kitchen fires by 13%. The campaign included encouraging people to chuck out their chip pan by giving away vouchers for money off oven chips at The Co-operative Group. Fire service advice on staying safe in the kitchen includes: Never use a chip pan. Thermostat controlled fryers or oven chips are much safer Keep electrical leads and tea towels well away from the hob Never, ever leave cooking unattended Turn off cooking appliances after use and before you go to bed at night

WHERE HAS ALL THE BEER GONE? There is plenty of good news around about the success of real ale. After decades of declining market share real ale now accounts for 1 in 7 pints of beer drunk in the pub. Plus in just ten years the number of real ale brewers has doubled to well over 800 brewers dedicated to the promotion of real ale. Beyond this good news, however, the wider picture is bleak. The pub market is in long term decline with 16 pubs closing every week. It is likely that for the ﬁrst time ever the coming year will see more beer purchased from the off trade and drunk at home than drunk in the pub. This is a long way from the heady days of the 1970s when 9 in 10 pints were consumed in the pub. People are also drinking less beer. UK beer consumption has fallen by over 20% in just ﬁve years. Real ale is not immune from

this trend. In fact, real ale is hit doubly by the trend away from drinking beer and the trend away from pubs. The volume of real ale produced in the UK has almost halved since the year 2000 but signs are encouraging that in 2012 real ale will be the only type of beer to experience volume growth. This is a huge testament to the successful efforts of brewers and licensees and CAMRA’s thousands of volunteers who work so hard to promote real ale in their areas. Here at CAMRA we are resolutely focused on promoting pubs as well as real ale. The continuing loss of pubs is a serious threat to real ale’s resurgence. Next’s month’s Budget will be a real test of whether the Government are willing to help support pubs through tough times or whether they will continue the last Government’s policy of

ever more punitive taxation on beer. CAMRA’s submission to the Chancellor calls for beer duty to be frozen and we will be pressing this case with MP meetings and a meeting with a Treasury Minister. Most importantly of all, in the next week we will be asking all CAMRA members to contact their MP to get their support in persuading the Government to give pubs a break. Following the Budget in April sees the launch of CAMRA’s new Community Pubs Month where our activity will be focused on promoting all that is great about pubs. Let’s hope the Chancellor will allow us to celebrate his good wisdom in freezing beer duty and so avoiding yet another round of pub price rises.

By the time you will be reading this weekly column, I will be visiting good friends in Bulgaria, a country I have to come very well since working there in the 1990s.

THE NEW LOOK LA PLATA

“THE PLACE” TO BE The La Plata Social Club on Walkley Lane are pleased to announce that they have has just undergone a refurbishment and would welcome new and old visitors to come along for a good evening out. A brief history of the club shows that it was originally called the Uniform Club founded in 1933. It served a large community that included the employees of the Tram Sheds (now the home of the Tramways Medical Centre). Previous to that, during the 1920’s it was a snooker/billiards hall. The name La Plata is Spanish for The Plate and originated from a local company called Burgon and Ball on Holme Lane, who are still in business. The premises includes a neat, compact concert room that’s fully licensed for up to 250 people with full acoustic sound facilities where top acts from around the region provide live entertainment every weekend, some of which are supplied by the the Cee Bee Agency and Angle Entertainment. The Club has a membership of over 500 and is run by a committee headed by the Secretary Brian Hellewell and Howard Palfreymen who is the Steward of 22years. This year Rex Bacon is to be made President of the Club. Many of you will remember Rex as

being a member of The Disco’s that toured the clubs during the 60s, 70s and 80s. There is a very enthusiastic Pool Team who are extremely delighted to be playing on newly covered tables. The events during the week include Monday – Cash Bingo with a £500 Jackpot, Wednesday – Prize Bingo, Friday - Cash Bingo with £500 Jackpot and on Saturday there are three sessions of Bingo plus live entertainment. Sunday is a Family Night. The Mercury Newspaper would like to wish the La Plata every success with all they do in the coming years.

Live Review Kaiser Chiefs - O2 Academy - 13/02

Words by Katy Evans

It would be hard to imagine the British Music Scene without Leeds five piece Kaiser Chiefs. A staple fixture within the indie rock culture, the group have reached massive heights with tracks ‘I predict a riot’ and ‘Ruby,’ arguably some of the most recognisable and iconic songs of the 21st Century. Performing at Sheffield’s O2 Academy on 13th February, the band demonstrated perfectly why they will remain as one of the North’s premium groups. Squeezing in as many people as physically possible into the main stage venue (which given the chance, could also have easily filled the Motorpoint) the Kaiser Chiefs tackled their audience like any long-in –the-tooth professional would…forget over-exaggerated, typical band clichés or a general passive attitude, hell this five piece have their craft to a T with first rate pitch, a practiced and polished set list along with charisma and charm on abundance. Expecting nothing less however from a band who have four top ten albums, highlight of the evening came when ‘Angry Mod’ was performed, an authentically argumentative belter which released total madness onto the 800 strong audience. An indication the five piece have over fifteen years’ experience as first rate performers, lead vocalist Ricky Wilson acted as ring master to lower the tone of the set with the introduction of a more melodic number ‘O’h My God.’ Later sampled by DJ mega star Mark Ronson and Lily Allen, the track indicated the group’s versatility aswell as posing for a huge crowd pleaser. Other successful hits, ‘Modern Way,’ ‘Never Miss A Beat’ and ‘Everyday I Love You Less And Less’ followed much in the same vein, all of which landed themselves in the top 20 UK Singles Charts upon release. What strikes as odd however is the venue of which Kaiser Chiefs selected their performance. Easily carrying enough scope and popularity to fill a much larger stage, although the O2 Academy is a first rate venue, it would seem the groups sound would have had a much more dramatic impact within a bigger venue. It’s also not as though the band aren’t used to much more extensive crowds…last year they played a hometown gig back in Leeds to a very strong 2000+ audience aswell as gracing the main stage at V Festival 2011. By no means a criticism for the bands overall performance however, smaller more intimate venues can act just as powerfully as larger ones, although in this case just seemed to contain the five piece. For more info on the band, visit their official website www.kaiseerchiefs.com for tickets, pictures and tours.

Live Review Low Duo - The Great Gatsby - 03/02

Words by Katy Evans

Did you know…aside from London, Sheffield is the top city for bands to get recognised and signed? Nope us neither. But it’s more than easy to see why. With a rich and versatile scene running throughout the local area, Sheffield brothers Low Duo are heading up the largely unexplored folk genre with enough emotion and dark wit to cause a pretty big impact. If their set was anything to go by at Great Gatsby on the busy Friday night of 3rd February, hell Sheffield, we’re harbouring something very special here indeed. An intricately intense combination of vocals and acoustic guitar, Low Duo are by no means your typical, ‘Mumford & Sons-esque’ folk band. Track ‘Ambulance’ is as much strikingly powerful as it is sombre and haunting, with numbers ‘Waltz with Me’ and ‘Sleep Alone’ running much in the same vein. Forget predictably flowery melodies and selfabsorbed lyrics, Low Duo have tackled folk in not only a commercially viable but accessible way as possible, creating tracks that could more than easily be heard on prime time radio stations. Although some snub the upstairs gig room of the Great Gatsby as being a little on the puny side, it’s hard to imagine a better venue for the prosperous two-piece…enough character and intimacy to contain the duo without dampening their overall sound, the quirkiness of the band’s sound only reflected the overall ethos of the venue, which has seen the likes of Wet Nuns, Oblong and Avida Dollars all grace its stage. Although it only pushes a capacity of around one hundred, the wooden floored, bared walled attic room showcased the evident rawness still present in Low Duo, something which shone throughout the forty five minute long set of the band. It’s unarguable to say Sheffield has an everincreasing supply of bands and acts pushing into the big time, a huge benefit to the local music scene. Allowing a strong central core of many different genres throughout Yorkshire, Sheffield really is one of the best places for bands to make music, win over fans and ultimately eject themselves into the public eye, with the local music scene as a vessel for bigger things to come. In reflection of groups to have made it big from our city, just admire Arctic Monkey’s, Reverend and the Makers, Bring Me The Horizon, Human League…and with a new wave of musicians always in huge saturation on the current scene, it looks like there’s no better time for Sheffield music at the moment. For more information of Low Duo, visit the bands official website on www.lowduo.co.uk for the bands newest EP’s, releases and downloads.

round-up

by stuart renton Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning It’s review time, and I’m in two minds about KoA, as on one hand, I think it’s a blinding game with a lot to love, on the other, the jaded and cynical part of me is horribly let down by what I see as its failings, so, if things do get confused about where I sit, remember the advice my mother gave me about threesomes: choose a side and keep hammering away until you’ve reached the end, had enough, or no longer want to play any more. I think that’s good advice in anyone’s book! Kingdoms of Amalur is a fantasy role playing epic that combines the dynamic gameplay of God of War with the fantasy questing of Fable. If you’ve played either game then you’ll know the score where you roam a fantasy world completing quests, killing monsters, and levelling up. If only more time had been spent on the story… In a world where story and setting are everything, KoA fails to impress. If you’re going to make a world, then make a new and original one; don’t just nick bits from existing settings. This world is one part Lord of the Rings with another part nabbed from Irish mythology. It doesn’t really work and it didn’t draw me in as it perhaps should have. Sure, the visuals are stunning, blistering even, and it has the rich feel and depth of World of Warcraft, but it all feels just a little rushed as you race from one area to the next without looking back. You don’t spend enough time in any one place to really get a feel for the world and it’s all rather disjointed. By the end of the game my character had gone through more “miles” than Cheryl Cole to get her job on the X Factor. But it’s the story and characters that are the worst culprits. There’s really nothing new or evocative here and I felt none of the emotional pangs I did while playing Dragon Age. However, I said I was in two minds, and KoA is a perfectly serviceable RPG and if, like, having sex with Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, mindlessly grinding your way to the end is your thing, well, you’ll be in heaven here. But, for a hero in a time of war, being asked to deliver invoices to late payers (yes that’s the sort of quest we’re talking about), well, that’s just a little low-fantasy for my liking. What next, Kingdoms of Amalur: Postman - can you deliver mail to all the houses in the village (with bonus quest: satisfy the town bike before her husband gets home)?

Overall, this is a solid start to what I hope is the ﬁrst in a series. However, the fact that the world is so unimaginative (being bog standard fantasy of the least impressive variety) and the story is so lacklustre from one of the storytelling ‘greats’, R.A. Salvatore, well this is a crying shame. Overall: 8.5/10. It’s way better than Dragon Age 2 (not that that’s saying much). If you like your fantasy role playing games then this is a must buy. Really, I know I’ve slagged it off to high heaven but the dynamic combat system alone deserves your cash. Just try the demo before you buy.

Angler’s Corner Racing Form by Clint Walker

I’ve been exceptionally busy again this week preparing for the recent launch of the all new Angler’s Mail/Pallatrax Specimen Cup competition which had its official unveiling in Anglers Mail on Tuesday. It’s a competition open to every single angler in the country, the only thing you have to do is email or post your catch report to the popular weekly magazine, and if selected, you win a prize bundle from Pallatrax and some cold, hard cash from Anglers Mail! You have a chance to win every single week throughout 2012 and beyond, and there really is a lot to be won. The Specimen Cup will feature weekly and monthly winners who will receive certificates of merit, exclusive clothing denoting the angler as a winner in addition to the multitude of other great offerings! Make sure you buy Angler’s Mail or visit www.pallatrax.co.uk to find out more. It could be you! I’ve found time for a few hours on the bank too; a visit to popular North Staffordshire venue Cudmore Fishery saw me back on the predator pool in search of pike. To be truthful, it was that cold that there was very little chance of anything else so a herring tail was quickly despatched into the inky water....I’ve been pepping up my baits with Pike Pro oil based flavours and colourings to try and improve my chances; comparing two rods, the addition of a specially formulated winterised oil (especially Lamprey!) have consistently outfished an untreated bait, so I consider it really does make a huge difference. It worked again with a fine brace of winter pike, not huge at around 12lbs, but very welcome on a bitterly cold day. The action ceased completely as soon as a biting Northerly wind put a chop on the water, so worth noting for next time.... I’ve just had a fishing buddy pop round to borrow a bivvy and bedchair as he sets off on his first ever weekend session. Dan is a family man and rarely gets chance to do an ‘overnighter’ very often so cannot justify the expense of equipment which will rarely be used; we began to discuss proper preparation for a night session in light of the tragic news of an angler being found passed away in his bivvy after a particularly cold night. I recounted the story of one of my very first all night sessions with my brother beneath a pop up shelter whilst perched on stripey deckchairs under a thin sleeping bag in the depths of a January rain storm. The trip had to be cut short despite trying to move the shelter to protect us both from the howling wind which swirled freezing rain between us; - at about 3.30am, the time came to pack up but we even struggled to do that as we were so cold and all of our kit was soaked through... I did learn a very valuable lesson on that night; overnight angling can be very rewarding, but make sure you are well prepared!!

by Timelord

With time running out before Cheltenham this weekend is probably the last real opportunity to get clues for some of the big races at the Festival. The weekend’s big meeting is at Kempton where the Racing Plus Chase is the feature race. This has been, and can be, a pointer to big races at the Festivals so it is always worth a bit more than a second look. Newcastle runs the Eider Chase – a 4 mile 1 furlong marathon that can point to future National prospects. In Ireland Fairyhouse stages a good meeting where some interesting horses are set to run. The Channel 4 coverage this week is at Kempton (4 races), Lingﬁeld (1 race) and Newcastle (1 race). Kempton: 2.00 williamhill.com Adonis Juvenile Hurdle, Grade 2, 2 miles: Grumeti looks to me to have all the right credentials to land this prize. Dark and Dangerous will probably be just that and can follow him home ahead of Baby Mix. Of the rest Dildar, Lyvius, Sadler’s Risk and Une Artiste are all unexposed and in the “could be

2.30 Download Williamhill.com On Your Mobile Handicap Chase, Class 3, 5yo+ rated 0-130, 2 miles 4 ½ furlongs: The handful to concentrate on here look to be: Be Definite; Fix The Rib; Moon over Miami; Niceonefrankie; Super Formen; and The Cockney Mackem. My marked preference is for The Cockney Mackem who ran a good race to finish a close second to Micheal Flips (didn’t let the form down at all last Saturday at Newbury when touched off by For Non Stop) recently at Taunton in a race run in a very good time for the conditions. Second preference is for Be Definite who has good solid and consistent form but seems to find it hard to win. After this I like Moon Over Miami, then Super Formen and Niceonefrankie. 3.05 Racing Plus Chase (Handicap), Grade 3, 5yo+, 3 miles: My top rated is Irish raider Seabass who has won his last six starts, including a £40,000 handicap, and simply has to go on the shortlist. Only a point behind him in my ratings and with a really good effort to his name last time in the Skybet Chase at Doncaster is the ultra consistent Fruity O’Rooney who rarely runs a bad race. I think that both have excellent chances of upsetting the favourite, Planet of Sound who also has a decent chance and ran well last time. If Cannington Brook were to run he would also have a live chance but his trainer also has another live contender in Mount Oscar. Three others with good chances are Deep Purple, Nacarat and Consigliere, the former two both seeming to have a special liking for this track. In what is another very competitive renewal of this race I have a very marginal preference for Seabass, simply because he has acquired the winning habit, but it is with some trepidation that I overlook Fruity O’Rooney so I shall have my “saver” on him. 3.40 Williamhill.com Dovecote Novices’ Hurdle, Grade 2, 2 miles: Grumeti is also entered in this race, as is Dildar, and both would have decent chances if lining up here, so check which race they go for on the day. However, my preference is for Lawney Hill’s hat-trick seeking Double Handful who now looks to be on the upgrade. He won’t get it all his own way however as Donald McCain’s debut scorer Agent Archie also looks to have quite a bit of scope to improve. Another with a good last time out performance to his name but who is likely to go off at longer odds is Hughie Morrison’s Nazreef, who should command quite some respect. Newcastle: 3.25 Betfred Eider (Handicap Chase), Class2, 5yo+ rated 0-150, 4 miles 1 furlong: I fully expect this to a real slog through the mud and am hopeful that Morgan Be can slug it out the best. It will be no pushover with thorough grinders like Douglas Julian, Arbor Supreme, Drybrook Bedouin and Present M’Lord in the field but with a last time out win under his belt I think that the selection can prevail as he seems to be in good heart at present. Lingfield: 2.15 Blue Square Sprint Series Grand Final (Handicap), Class 2, 4yo+, 6 furlongs: With almost all but a handful recording career best figures in my system in their last couple of runs and with not much to separate them on my figures it is extremely difficult to be dogmatic about any of them, since almost any could win. However, based solely on his last time but one performance, and in a desperately close call, I am just marginally favouring Desert Strike. Sulis Minerva, The Strig and Nubar Boy will all be dangerous as will Richard Guest’s pair Waabel and Cut The Cackle, should they get in. Fairyhouse: 1.55 Winning Fare Juvenile Hurdle, Grade 2, 2 miles: Minsk’s debut is eagerly awaited as he is reported to be something special. However I have to see them run before I can choose them so I am looking elsewhere. The best piece of form on offer could well be the Leopardstown Boxing Day race won by His Excellency where One Cool Shabra finished second with Burrenbridge Lodge in third, Celbrity Sevi in sixth and Pur Style in seventh. Celebrity Sevi was making his debut that day and could well improve past those that finished ahead of him then but I am going to stick with One Cool Shabra, who was trying to give three pounds to the others that day, even though he has since disappointed. 3.30 At The Races Bobbyjo Chase, Grade2, 5yo+, 3 miles 1 furlong: The Midnight Club earns a narrow vote in a competitive event. Seabass also figures in the entries and would be a big threat if turning out, as would long time absentee Black Appalachi.

anything “ brigade while Orthodox Lad could be improving with racing and is worth a second look for an each way saver if put up at really big odds.

Local Football by Michael Clarke County Senior League Finally, after a two week hiatus due to wintry weather the County Senior League returned to action last weekend.

Premier Division Premier Division leaders Penistone Church’s recent wobble in form continued last Saturday as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by High Green Villa. Penistone have now won only two of their last six league matches. Stocksbridge Park Steels Reserves took advantage of Penistone’s blank to take top spot. Goals from Cole Paine, Danny Joynes and Ryan MacDonald gave Stoocsbridge a 3-2 win over lowly Hallam Reserves. Frazier Ward and and Sam Eckhardt were on the score-sheet for Hallam who were unlucky to go home pointless. A hat-trick from Jack Briscoe inspired Athersley Recreation to a 5-1 win over Sheffield Reserves. The win takes Athersley above Penistone Church into second place, only point off leaders Stocksbridge. Both Athersley and Stocksbridge have played a game less than Penistone. There was also a big win for last years’ Champions Swallownest Miners Welfare. They impressively saw off fifth placed Millmoor Juniors 7-0. Swallownest are now four points off the lead and six games undefeated in the league. John Ryan and Simon Chadburn scored the goals for Wombwell Main as they beat Handsworth Reserves 2-1. Despite a goal from Mark Cooper, Ecclesfield Red Rose were held to a 1-1 draw at home by South Kirkby Colliery. Davy FC were also held to a 1-1 draw by Everest FC at Davy Sports Club. Division One The result of the day (if not the season) came at the Civil Service Ground, where Thorpe Hesley beat second placed Frecheville 8-0. Joe Hall scored four of the goals for the hosts. Also on the score-sheet were Luke Webster (2), Matthew Wood and Karl Hetherington. Leaders Houghton Main won out at Sheffield Athletic. Goals from Adam Stead (2) and Scott Clarke were enough to give them a 3-2 win over Sheffield Athletic, and move them seven points clear. A sole goal from Jamie Dixon gave Silkstone Untied a 1-0 win over third placed Penistone Church Reserves. Two goals from Lee McVeigh gave Bramley Sunnyside Juniors an excellent 2-1 win over Swinton Station Athletic at Kilnhurst Recreation Ground. The win is Bramley’s first of the New Year. Aqua Force Barnsley carried on their good form, beating Wickersley 2-1 away. Aqua Force have now won seven of their last ten league games. Worsbrough Bridge Athletic Reserves and Oughtibridge WMSC played out a cagey goaless draw at Park Road. Worksop Parramore beat Caribbean Sports 3-0 with goals from Gavin Davies, Frazier Morton and Tom Nolan. The result is Worksop’s third win in four league games. Division Two With leaders Athersley Recreation Reserves not playing, Gleadless took advantage to move within three points of the lead. Four goals from 17 year old Spencer Raynes gave Gleadless a 6-1 win over Boynton Sports. Lee Webster also scored twice for Gleadless. Gleadless also have a game spare in the run-in. Second-bottom De La Salle Old Boys recorded an excellent 2-0 away win over Millmoor Juniors Reserves. The win is De La Salle’s first in the league since October and moves them three points clear of Sheffield Lane Top. Goals from Chris Ashberry and Gavin Butler gave Thorncliffe a 2-1 win over Clowne Villa to consolidate third position. Frechevile made it consecutive victories for the first time since November, with a 3-2 win over Sheffield Bankers. Matthew Hunter starred for Frecheville, scoring twice in the process. Meadowhall League Tinsley Trophy Round 1 The big talking point in the Tinsley Trophy last weekend was FC Darnall’s defeat by Dronfield Athletic U21’s of the U21 Division. Dronfield Athletic, currently bottom of the U21 Division, won the game impressively 5-1 to progress to Round Two of the competition. The big game of the round came at Oughtibridge Operations where the top two of the Second Division met. Rawson Spring edged the predictably tight game 3-2 over Winn Gardens. Premier Division Hackenthorpe A extended their winning run to five games, with a 2-0 away win over Crookes. Hackenthorpe remain league leaders. However, Royal Earl are beginning to turn up the heat with their fourth straight win. Two goals from Thomas Roebuck inspired them to a 3-1 win over Handsworth Turf Tavern. Royal Earl are now three points behind Hackenthorpe. Mosborough A claimed a good point with a 0-0 away draw against Greenhill White Hart. High Noon backed up two consecutive defeats with a 3-2 win over Sharrow United. Division One Mid-table Wadsley Bridge WMC won impressively out against league leaders Arundel 4-1. Adam Askwith impressed with two goals for Wadsley. Jack-in-a-Box beat HSBC 5-1 at Mount St Mary’s. Jordan Meadows played an integral part scroing twice in the process. Division Two Mosborough B and Ridgeway Athletic played out an excellent seven goal thriller at Mosborough Miners Welfare. Ridgeway Athletic won the game, which could be pivotal come the end of the season, 4-3. In similar fashion City Taxis New Inn beat Hackenthorpe B 4-3 at home. Ryan Smith scored twice for the hosts. Danny Major grabbed a hat-trick in Heeley’s 4-1 away win over Norton Oaks A. Supplementary Division A Supplementary Division started last weekend. The Division includes teams that have few games remaining and are still interested in further competition. The League works in a slightly different format to the standard. Teams register a point for a draw and three for a win, but additionally an extra point is added for each multiple of three goals scored in a game and each clean-sheet recorded. Barrel Inn top the fledgling, after they beat Norton Oaks B impressively 4-0. For this victory the Barrel lead the league with five points. Greasebrough U21 registered four points in their maiden game with a 3-2 win over the Staffordshire Arms.

MILLERS COME FROM BEHIND FOR DRAW MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk

Rotherham United came from behind to extend their unbeaten run to three matches after a 1-1 draw with Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium. Shaun Harrad, against his former employers, cancelled out Calvin Zola’s opener in a pulsating game which could have gone either way. Manager Andy Scott named an unchanged side for the third consecutive game, with striker Harrad continuing in attack against his old club, looking to score in his third consecutive game for the Millers. It was a scrappy start to the game and after a frantic opening five minutes it was the Millers who had the first opportunity, but Sam Wood dragged a 25 yard shot well wide of the far post. The game then degenerated into a real battle of attrition in the midfield with both sides cancelling each other out in the centre of the park. Eventually the home side broke the midfield stalemate on 23 minutes when the dangerous Jacques Maghoma broke clear of Scott Griffiths, but fired his shot over from 20 yards.This sparked a flurry of half chances for the home team with Adam Bolder forcing Rhys Taylor into a smart low save after the ball found him via a lucky deflection. Then on 30 minutes Andres Gurrieri shot from just inside the area with Taylor again making a low stop. The best the Millers could produce in the first half was a Richard Naylor header from a Wood corner, which was wide of the far post and a 20 yard daisy cutter from Jason Taylor which flashed past Ross Atkins’ goal. On 40 minutes the home team broke the deadlock when a low free-kick to the near post caused havoc

LEEDS COMEBACK STEALS THE POINTS ROVERS NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

The Rovers made three changes to the line-up for today’s ‘derby’ game at Elland Road. Pascal Chimbonda returned after injury and replaced James O’Connor, Giles Barnes came in for John Oster and Simon Gillett replaced the injured Martin Woods. Leeds made two changes from Tuesday’s line-up. Alex Bruce came in for Adam Smith and on loan Andros Townsend replaced the injured Fabien Delph. The Rovers defended the Elland Road end in the first half. The Rovers started the game with ten men after Chimbonda was sent to the dressing room to change an item of clothing by the referee after the shaking hands ritual. It was two minutes into the game before the Rovers were back to their full quota, In the meantime they had won a corner which came out of defence to Stock 25yards out but he fired wide. The home team took a while to get going and won a corner in the 8th minute but nothing came from it. Two minutes later a free kick to the Rovers was placed into the penalty area where Diouf won a header to Bamogo, who back-flicked the ball against a post and cleared. Then Clayton, for the home side, chipped the ball into the Rovers area where Becchio lobbed the ball goalwards forcing Button to tip over as it dropped under the bar. Midfield play ensued for the next ten minutes or so. Then, in the 24th minute, Bamogo went down in the Leeds penalty area without anybody near him and the Rovers on the attack. It appeared to be a hamstring injury and Bagayoko replaced him. Leeds immediately won successive corners, the second of which was headed wide by Lees. A corner to the Rovers brought no reward and neither did three successive corners to the home team. Then, in the 32nd minute, came the breakthrough - for the Rovers. Hayter was played in on goal, Lonergan blocked his shot but BAGAYOKO got to the rebound and slammed the ball into the net. Leeds tried to hit back but apart from forcing a corner the Rovers defence held firm to the break without Button being troubled. The Rovers again started brightly and could easily

in the Millers defence, and the on-rushing Calvin Zola prodded past Taylor from six yards. The Millers came out for the second half and looked a different side, immediately taking the initiative and attacking the packed away end by Atkins’ goal. After pushing their opponents back into their own half, the Millers’ pressure and persistence was rewarded with a deserved equaliser on 57 minutes. Wood delivered what appeared to be a poor corner into the near post, but it went through a ruck of bodies to find Harrad who bundled the ball into the net from a yard out. The Millers laid siege to the Burton goal winning numerous corners but were almost caught out on the counter attack when Maghoma surged into the area, but Mark Bradley timed his sliding challenge to perfection to deny the winger. The Millers continued to have the baulk of the play but couldn’t breakdown a resolute Burton who again counter attacked on 76 minutes, with sub Cleveland Taylor shooting into the side netting. The best chance of the half fell to the home side when Zola beat the offside flag and ran clean through on goal, but after rounding Rhys Taylor he planted his shot wide of the near post from an acute angle. Back came the Millers who threatened the Burton goal twice more before full-time, first Jason Taylor fired a 20 yarder wide and then Alex Revell smashed the ball over from 18 yards in injury time. Burton: Atkins; Driver, Stanton, Austin, Blanchett, Dyer (C. Taylor 67), Bolder, McGrath, Gurrieri (Kee 60), Maghoma (Palmer 70), Zola. Subs not used: James, Richards. Rotherham: R.Taylor; Bradley, Naylor (Cresswell 84), Mullins, Griffiths, Cadogan (Grabban), J. Taylor, Harrison, Wood, Revell, Harrad. Subs not used: Warrington, Pringle, Tonge. Attendance: 3,313 have been two goals up in the forty ninth minute when a quick break out of defence by Barnes, following a Leeds attack, let him feed Hayter on his own on the Rovers left. He blasted in a shot from the edge of the penalty area that hit the bar and flew over. At the other end a cross from the Leeds right was headed over by Becchio. A couple of minutes later and a corner to the Rovers eventually produced a shot from Spurr that was high and wide. However, in the 54th minute, another good break down the Rovers left by Gillett, who fed Spurr. His cross to the far post found Diouf, who went for the far corner of the goal where BAGAYOKO stabbed into the net. The joy of a two-goal lead was shortlived though because in the following minute TOWNSEND received on the left corner of the Rovers box and drove a low shot through a crowd of players and past his Spurs colleague in the Rovers goal. Back came the Rovers with Barnes trying his luck from distance but Lonergan easily pouched it. Past the hourand the Rovers again went down their left where Gillett squared to Bagayoko in the middle but his effort was blocked by the keeper and went to Hayter on the edge of the penalty area but he fired wide of the far post. At the other end Townsend put wide from 30yards. Button saved a header by Becchio, Barnes fired wide from well out with Gillett on his own to his left and McCormack was played in on goal, with Button saving at his feet. Back and forth went the game until the 80th minute when, following a Leeds corner, a cross from the home left by White was met with an outflung leg of CLAYTON to steer the ball just inside the near post. The pace didn’t slacken and end to end it was until added time when Spurr and Rogers clashed heads and were both carried off on stretchers. The game resumed after a long delay and in the 99th minute a Leeds attack gave Becchio the chance of a shot at goal from the edge of the penalty area. A Rovers defender got in the way but the ball bounced straight back to BECCHIO, who made no mistake this time with a terrific drive. An incident packed match was brought to a close after eleven minutes of added time, a game the Rovers should not have lost.

EVANS DOUBLE TOO MUCH FOR NORTH END BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Ched Evans scored both the goals that earned United a hard-earned victory over uncompromising Preston. The Welsh striker also missed a penalty as the Blades came from behind to make it three successive victories. The victory cements United’s place in the top two of League One, extending the advantage over the chasing pack. Chief Wilson named an unchanged team following the midweek success over Huddersfield but on the bench Beattie returned after suspension, whilst Williamson was fit again after a calf problem. Williams and Porter were the two to make way. The physical style which is associated with Preston boss Westley was evident inside three minutes as Marrow picked up a yellow card for an industrious challenge on Doyle. It was the only talking point of a slow first 15 minutes, although the Blades, kicking towards the Kop in the first half, did create the first chance when Flynn’s corner was met by Jean-Francois, who headed just over. Despite a lack of opportunities, United were enjoying the majority of the early possession with Lowton and Flynn linking up nicely down the right flank. The home side suffered a blow on 25 minutes when McDonald - crowned January’s Player of the Month just before kick-off - limped out of the action holding his hamstring,

Montgomery was the replacement. United were then given a golden chance to grab the lead when Evans latched onto a forward ball from Lowton, beat Brown for pace before being clipped in the area. A penalty was awarded, Brown was cautioned but the resulting spot-kick from Evans was weak and comfortably saved by Stuckmann, Preston’s German goalkeeper on 28 minutes. Cresswell had a shot saved by the feet of Stuckmann before Preston, perhaps undeservedly, grabbed the lead. United halfcleared a set-piece but from Hunt’s cross, a looping CUMMINS header was just out of the reach of Simonsen and dropped into the top corner. Just seven minutes remained of the half but it was dominated by the Blades - apart from the moments that referee Brown spent chastising Preston boss Westley. On 39 minutes, Quinn and Lowton were involved before Montgomery played in Flynn, who directed the ball over the crossbar. However, United’s leveller was just moments away. Maguire’s forward ball was flicked on by Cresswell for Quinn to play in Flynn and although his shot was blocked by Stuckmann, EVANS was ideally placed to poke home the rebound to make amends for his penalty miss. Cummins was booked for persistent fouling and United’s pressure continued right up until the half-time whistle but a Flynn header, after yet another neat move, was flicked over the crossbar by the visiting goalkeeper. Like the first period, the second half began slowly with few chances to report, although Evans fired over and Doyle’s effort was blocked following a corner. On the hour a burst from Lowton looked promising but after cutting inside and shooting with

his left foot, Robertson, a former Blades youngster, made a block. Preston’s first chance of the half was a Barton shot, from 25 yards, which was wide, whilst Collins did well to block from Cummins. Williamson was introduced, for Flynn, to inject fresh legs in a bid to open up the well-drilled visitors. Beattie was the last change and he was involved as the Blades finally took the lead in the final ten minutes. From a set-piece Lowton’s header was fantastically saved by Stuckmann and Beattie’s follow up was headed off the line by Hunt, at the expense of a corner, from which United edged ahead. The delivery from the right was half-cleared but fell perfectly for EVANS to blast through a barrage of bodies and into the roof of the net. It was now United’s turn to run down the clock and the home side did well to keep possession for relatively long periods. Four added minutes were signalled on 90 minutes but the Blades were untroubled and were delighted to add another three points to the pot as three sides of Bramall Lane sung. Blades: Simonsen, Lowton, Jean-Francois, Doyle, Evans, Flynn (Williamson 69), Collins, Cresswell (Beattie 81), Maguire, McDonald (Montgomery 25), Quinn. Unused: Hoskins, Long. Preston: Stuckmann, Robertson, Nicholson (McLaughlin 61), Marrow (Murphy 87), Barton, Parry, Holroyd, Procter, Cummins (Douglas 81), Hunt, Brown. Unused: McLean, Arestidou.

WILSONʼS VIEW GAFFERS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk

Composure was the key element of United’s victory over Preston North End on Saturday, according to Danny Wilson. The United boss was delighted that his team came through the battle with Graham Westley’s side - two goals from Ched Evans cancelled out the opener from Graham Cummins to make it three consecutive victories for the Blades. Afterwards, Wilson said: “It was tough game, a physical game, but the pleasing thing for me is that we kept our composure. “It would have been easy to, but we didn’t get carried away and get involved in the niggly stuff. We kept our focus and overall it was a fantastic three points. We matched them physically and then there were pockets of football when we did very well. “It was a fantastic effort, especially after going a goal down. It was not easy to get any momentum going but we did and it was a great three points.” A disappointing aspect of the game was Kevin McDonald limpling off with an injury in the ﬁrst half and Wilson added: “Kevin has a hamstring problem, we don’t know what the extent is yet, but we’ll see what happens throughout the week.”

Sheffield Wednesday News and Views 2011/12

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 MEGSON SPIREITES OWLS RUES NOT DOWN OWLS MAKING AGREE PRESSURE WINGER COUNT DEAL MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

The Owls slipped to a 1-0 defeat against Chesterfield in the early kickoff at the B2net Stadium. A late penalty converted by Dean Morgan decided the local derby, as well as condemning the Owls to their third straight league defeat. Wednesday made two changes as Reda Johnson made his return from suspension, while Ryan Lowe was given the nod to start up front. It was the Owls who made the brighter start of two sides as Chesterfield struggled to deal with Wednesday’s attacking threat. The early possession was dominated by the visitors and Lowe almost gave the Owls an early goal but his header from Reda Johnson’s cross landed just over the crossbar. A clever throughball from Chris Lines then cut the Spireites’ defence open as Reda Johnson found space in the area to shoot but Tommy Lee made a vital stop to keep the scores level. Wednesday’s grip on the game continued to increase and the only thing missing from their performance was the opening goal. A deep corner from Lines needed a crucial interception at the back stick from Liam Ridehalgh to prevent Lewis Buxton from heading home from close range. Chesterfield’s first sight of goal came just before the half hour mark when Ridehalgh got good connection on his strike from distance but Stephen Bywater produced a stunning diving save to tip the ball over. But back came Wednesday at the other with Lowe, who was unlucky not to have

won a penalty when the striker appeared to have been brought down in the area by Lee. Lowe had one more chance before the break when the lively striker managed to find room in the area to turn and shoot but fired the wrong side of Lee’s near post. The Owls made their first change of the game ten minutes after the restart with Gary Madine replacing O’Grady. Bywater was once more called into action saving low from Drew Talbot’s driven strike as the SPireites began to edge their way into the game. Clinton Morrison was then introduced and almost made an immediate impact but saw his strike blocked out by Chesterfield bodies at the back. Danny Batth then made a brave block to keep out Dean Morgan’s strike inside the area before Madine saw his effort from the angle fly over Lee’s goal. But the key moment of the game came 13 minutes from time when John Bostock clashed with Nicky Ajose in the area and the referee pointed to the spot; with Morgan slotting home from 12 yards. Wednesday almost responded immediately as Rob Jones saw his towering header cleared off the line. With time against Gary Megson’s men, the Spireites defended in numbers and a late scramble in the area would not fall for the visitors as Madine’s eventual effort drifted wide of the targets. Chesterfield: Lee, Ford, Trotman, Thompson (Morgan 45), Robertson, Ridehalgh, Davis, Allott, Talbot, Ajose, Lester (Westcarr 85) Substitutes: Flemming, Bowery, Whitaker

Owls: Bywater, Buxton, Batth, Jones (C), R Johnson, Prutton, Lines (Morrison 66), Semedo, J Johnson (Bostock 25), Lowe, O’Grady (Madine 54) Substitutes: Weaver, Llera

GAFFERS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Gary Megson rued the fact that Wednesday failed to turn their early dominance into a crucial first goal against Chesterfield on Saturday. The Owls bossed the opening 45 minutes at the B2net Stadium but fell short in front of goal and the Spireites went on to win the game via a second half penalty. Megson said: “I thought we made a really positive start to the game but we didn’t score. We always stress the importance of scoring the first goal and Chesterfield scored it. “The penalty was soft, not in the way it was given, but the way we defended it. The tackle couldn’t have been made and it has cost us the game. “But I thought we dominated the game for 45 minutes and when you do dominate as much as you have done, especially away from home, it’s so important that you score the first goal. “In the second half we didn’t penetrate them as much as we had been doing and I think Jermaine Johnson going off had a lot to do with that because he certainly gives you that as an individual. “We may have won this stat, this stat and the other stat but there are two stats that really count and they are putting the ball in one net and keeping it out of the other. “From our point of view, we need to regroup and push on.” Megson revealed that dangerman Johnson was withdrawn with a knee injury and the prognosis will follow in due course. He said: “It was a huge blow to lose JJ because he is right on top of his game and playing as consistently as I have seen him. “It looks like it could be a medial knee ligament but hopefully it might only be a knock, we will find out when we have taken a proper look at him.”
