....AND NOT A DROP TO DRINK

Jorge Fernandez Diaz, Minister of the Interior, has said that his department is preparing a new set of rules for the road and before the yearend motorists will see many important changes in legislation, both in terms of speed, and drink driving.

He said that he is now seriously considering a total ban on drivers drinking before getting behind the wheel.

On some main roads he intends to reduce the top speed from 100 to 90 km / hour speed limit while on selected stretches of motorway the limit will actually increase from 120 to 130 km / hour. Further legislation will see the introduction of a law requiring all cyclists to wear helmets and there will be a

complete ban on them cycling on pavements.

According to a recent study by the Spanish Foundation for Traffic Safety (Fesvial), 59% of drivers surveyed said they were in favour of an increase of 120 to 130 km / hour speed limit on motorways and 53% supported a reduction of the speed to 90 km / hour speed limit on conventional routes.

Continued from Page One In a recent statement Diaz said that he felt that speed limits ought to be adapted according to local circumstances and the efficiency with which traffic circulates in a specific area.

“What is good for the centre of Madrid might not be right in any other city or town,” he said.

In terms of the new legislation relating to alcohol, the minister said that If a breathalyzer test registers any trace of alcohol, the driver will be subject to the appropriate penalties.

Currently, Spain allows drivers up to 0.5 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. But the ban will mean that drivers will not be able to drink as much as a single drop of alcohol before getting behind the wheel.

The DGT has toughened its stance in this respect over the last two decades. In 2001, it said in a magazine article that the average male driver "could drink" two whiskies, or twoand-a-half glasses of wine, or two cans of beer and still be within the legal limit. The amounts were halved in the case of women. Now the message is all about zero tolerance.

Bosco Torremocha, however, the head of FEBE, the body that represents the country's alcohol industry, says that current technology is still not suf-

Monday, 17th September, 2012 ficiently reliable to establish whether somebody has absolutely no alcohol in their bloodstream. "A driver who has been drinking, and who only sleeps six hours, could test positive either for the amount of alcohol in his blood or simply on his breath," he says.

The other problem is that some non-alcoholic substances could also test positive. For example, some inhalers used to alleviate asthma symptoms can test positive. Similarly, many so-called non-alcoholic beers contain a small amount of alcohol that in certain circumstances can result in a positive test.

Eugenio Dobrynine, head of the European Automobile Commission, says that zero tolerance doesn't work: "It's inoperable. Other countries have tried to implement this and all it has done is to make things even more complicated." He says that the problem isn't so much imposing "alcohol limits" but investing in resources to make sure that the level is respected by motorists.

In the current economic climate, can you really see that happening in Spain?

Joan of Arc was Noah’s Wife!

The writing of children is never more amusing than when they are trying to be serious. That is the premise of a series of books written by teacher and author, Peter Jeffcock, who lives for as much of the year as possible in his home in San Miguel de Salinas, a lifestyle ruined only by returning to England to teach during term time!

The three books in the ‘A Pis of Cak’ series are packed full of hilarious misunderstandings, spelling errors and general molestations of the English language that range from the very sweet to the very rude...

Did you know, for example, that there was a law in the 1970s that demanded sexy quality for women? Or that one of Henry the Eight’s wives was called Katherine of Arrogance? Did you realise that ‘at the start of the industrial revelation they carried coal on bhajis that floated on the canals’?

Perhaps you were already aware that small rocks that fly through space are called haemorrhoids, or that in the far north of Russia there is a cold, desolate place called Suburbia.

All of these remarkable facts are to be found in the series of books.

And the revelations go on: were you truly aware that a trapezium is a circus act, or that bitchy men can be used to mend a leaking roof? And did you really know that the type of snowman typified by the Yeti is otherwise known by the term ‘a bomb in a bull’?

Yes, that’s life – or Sailor V as the French say. In a child’s world, slavery is the opposite of sweet, an octopus is supposed to have ten tickles but in fact only has eight and Einstein’s first name was Frank.

There are three books in the series; A Pis of Cak, Another Pis of Cak and A Third Pis of Cak. All are available on Amazon Kindle at very low prices and all are guaranteed to amuse and entertain you whilst giving you a new perspective from which to view the world. I shall end this article here – leaving you wanting more.

Indeed, as you will discover when you read these books, in all good pieces of writing, it is best to end on a coat hanger!

CONFERENCE CENTRE IN USE AT LAST The mayor with Antonio Navarro, president of Procosta

By Keith Nicol Torrevieja’s Conference Centre is finally going to receive its first official conference this Autumn.

Last week, Torrevieja’s Mayor Eduardo Dolon, announced that the inaugeral conference will be for the construction industry. Dolon made the announcement, without specifying dates, at a joint appearance with Antonio Navarro, president of Procosta, who represent construction employers in the district of Vega Baja.

This year Torrevieja has received four times the amount of building applications over 2011, totaling nearly 300. The impression is that gradually, the city is generating more economic activity and thus

employment in the sector construction.

Dolon and Navarro agreed that residential tourism is facing a stage where it is crucial to eliminate much of the red tape and complement sales by promoting the city’s excellent climate coupled with attractive sports facilities and opportunities, commercial sectors, education and health. The Convention Centre, located beside Saint Jamie Hospital, has hosted concerts and other activities related to music training, since the inauguration in March 2011. The city will now face their first challenge as a destination for congress tourism.

Torrevieja are doing their part to promote property sales by

being the major player with the Alicante Provincial Tourism Board. Before the end of the month, they will be conducting meetings in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Not surprisingly, Russia has emerged in recent years as a major buyer of properties on the Costa Blanca. As for the hotels, Dolon said "continue to offer saving in taxes and fees for hotel construction that helps to create jobs," adding that "soon we will meet with the Directorate General of Ports to work on the on the reformation of the waterfront.

Dolon noted that "In much of Russia, all they know of Spain are Madrid, Barcelona and Torrevieja!" Navarro criticized Spain's image beyond its borders as being “not as positive as it should.” He therefore asked that this trend be reversed through the efforts of politicians, media and busi-

ness, but as a positive detailed that "many Russians only know our country through Madrid,

Barcelona

and

Torrevieja. They think that Torrevieja is a much larger city."

I’ve been married to my husband for 4 years now and feel miserable in the relationship. He’s a great father and a genuinely nice man but we have no intimate contact and never have any deep discussions or talk about meaningful things. I know so many women are in horrible relationships so I don’t want to complain but I just fell I need something more in my life.

But she asked me the other day to go to a gay club with her in Torrevieja, just so she felt a bit more comfortable for the first time, and I really don’t want to go. How can I tell her the thought of going to one of these clubs makes me feel sick without offending her?

conversation with your husband and tell him exactly how you feel, you never know, he may feel the same way. Its not uncommon for couples to grow apart and get stuck in a dull and boring routine and you owe it to each other to try to re-ignite the spark between you. Only you can decide whether or not this marriage is ever going to work for you but staying for the sake of your children really isn’t a good idea. Too many kids grow up caught slap bang in the middle of a loveless relationship and apart from confusing them no end, it gives them entirely the wrong impression of what marriage should be about. To be honest, from what you say, I think its time to move on and find true happiness and fulfilment but give things one last chance, just in case its salvageable. entitled to our likes and dislikes. Obviously coming out is a huge step for anyone and you need to respect that but in turn, your friend should also respect your wishes. Just decline the invite and explain that its not your scene whilst assuring this girl that you want your friendship to stay the same.

There are countless gay and lesbian groups on the internet where like minded people can talk about their experiences and enter into the gay community one step at a time. Why not suggest that she does that rather than trying to drag you along to a club where you’ll feel like a fish out of water? A true should completely understand and provided you manage to get your point across without causing offence, there’s no reason why your friendship shouldn’t continue to grow.

abusive brother I need some help with my 16-year-old brother.

He is constantly verbally and physically abusing me and my 9-year-old brother. He is even abusive to our mum when she refuses to give him money. He doesn’t have a job and is going nowhere. I want to help him, but am starting to hate him.

Louise, 21 By the sounds of things, your brother has turned into a bit of bully! If left unchecked, things will gradually get worse and worse until he becomes too much to handle. In an ideal world, this lad would want to make the most of his life and would have some respect for his family, perhaps he needs a push in the right direction. You all need to sit down as a family and confront these issues rather than accepting them as part of day to day life. Talk to your mum and suggest that you have a family conference to try to make the situation better for all concerned. In the long run, your brother needs to get off his backside and get a job but the immediate problem is his lack of respect. Try to make him see that what he’s doing is affecting everyone and explain that you want to help. At the end of the day, that’s what families are for.

Don’t try to run before you can walk though, take things one step at a time. Ultimately, if he doesn’t wake up to the fact that he is hurting you all, your mum may need to put her foot down and give him a choice – stay and play nicely or find somewhere else to live!

Le@der Home Improvement's division, The choice is Clear has been successfully installing Windows, Conservatories and Glass Curtains to the Costa Blanca & Costa Calida regions for over seven years. Our commitment to providing the highest quality products, coupled with a customer service which is second-to-none has made us the market leader here in your area.

but it only works best with UPVC profile. Imagine all the noise from busy roads and loud neighbours gone. Turn your home in to a comfortable and quiet place where you can enjoy the things you do.

We believe our customers deserve the best and we can now offer you complete peace-of-mind when choosing the supplier for your new Windows, Doors, Conservatories or Glass Curtains.

Here at THE LEADER HOME IMPROVEMENTS, we offer both aluminium and uPVC products which allows us to always provide a solution which suits all budgets. Currently we have some GREAT OFFERS on uPVC installations, and if you order your new windows and doors today.

So why choose uPVC? uPVC offers a number of characteristics. These include: Warmer & Drier In a typical Spanish home, more than 50% of heat loss can come from inadequate aluminium or timber windows. With our high quality UPVC double glazed windows you can cut down that heat loss to an absolute minimum whilst also cutting down those ever-increasing power bills and keeping your place warm and dry. Many Spanish

www.yourlocalnewspaper.info

homes also suffer from mould and moisture as a result of condensation. All our products are made from high quality, German designed UPVC profile, and unlike aluminium or timber it does not conduct heat or cold. There is an effective drainage system that allows water to escape easily. Combined with our 28mm insulated double glazed units the condensation can be decreased up to 5 times.

Secure Home security provides a great benefit – peace of mind. To feel safe at home is very important to every home-owner. That is why we are including a Multi-Point Locking System in every window and door that we install. Our UPVC sliding and Tilt & Turn windows also benefit from key-locking handles. Our UPVC doors also incorporate a 7-Point locking system for added protection.

Quieter Are you tired of that loud noise from outside? Does it prevent you from sleeping at night? With our UPVC windows, you can silence the noise from the outside by 80% (compared to single glazing).

Double glazing is a powerful barrier against noise,

Designed for Convenience & Style The core of every Tilt&Turn window is its hightech internal hardware. It enables effortless turning and tilting of the window sash with a single handle operation. Turn the handle through 90° and the window 'tilts' inwards, hinged at the bottom with a stay at the top to allow a free flow of air for draught-free ventilation. Turn the handle a further 90° and the window 'turns' fully inwards, hung on to the side for maximum ventilation, more fresh air and ease of cleaning.

Our Sliding Windows are very popular for their convenience. Sliders are recommended everywhere where inward or outward opening windows are not desired. When the sash is open it slides in to the window and does not take any space inside or outside the living area. This means you can use the area next to the window for anything you like. The new modern locking mechanism ensures smooth operation, and as a result you can easily open sliders with only one hand. Outstanding Warm Windows quality insures there will be no gaps left when the window is closed, so you can enjoy the maximum noise reduction.

The result is a dry, mould free and healthy home.

FINALLY THE CHOICE IS CLEAR!

Dr Ken and Mrs Susie Wildey, Mosa Trajectum “We were looking for two key things in our new windows; good quality and good service. We are pleased with both – and for us, with limited Spanish, the benefit of having all communications in English was an added bonus!

All contacts (eg texts/emails) were dealt with speedily – so communication rated an ‘A’ plus.

We would recommend ‘the Choice is Clear’ for good quality at a fair price:- having seen our windows fitted, our neighbours are already planning to upgrade their flimsier windows with a higher quality specification from ‘the Choice is Clear…”

GETTING SMAR T WITH ELECTRIC The Smart forstars will be premiered at the Paris Motor Show 2012 (29 September - 14 October 2012). The show in the French capital is a local affair for smart as the brand's production facility is located in Hambach, Lorraine.

The colour of the expressive coupé is also a reference to the venue of the world premiere. It’s painted in the extravagant "alubeam rouge" colour that creates an appealing contrast to the matt metallic titanium colour of the tridion safety cell. And thanks to the 60 kW magnetoelectric motor from the new smart BRABUS electric drive, the zeroemission smart forstars is agile and lively. smart boss Dr Annette Winkler says: "The smart is Europe's most inexpensive series-produced electric car. Not only is it emission-free and fast, it is also possible to conveniently set the perfect interior temperature in advance with a smartphone, and it is simple to charge at a domestic socket. What's more, with its powerful battery and integrated projector the smart forstars can transform any grey backyard into an animated open-air cinema."

The compact smart forstars (length/width/height: 3550/1710/1505 mm) is therefore not only a mobility concept with ample space for two people and a generous cargo area under the glass tailgate, it is also a communication concept that only requires a blank wall for a spontaneous cinematic experience. The media player of the projector integrated in the front bonnet is operated via Bluetooth® from an iPhone®. A high-quality sound system with additional loudspeakers in the ventilation openings behind the doors enables the drive-in cinema experience to be perfected for friends as well.

The smart forstars shares the main features of its body with the smart for-us, which caused quite a stir at the Detroit Motor Show at the beginning of the year. The smart forstars, too, features convex and sensuously shaped body surfaces.

The large brand emblem is proudly sported on the grille, and the front

has a pronounced three-dimensional design. Where rally cars have an air scoop on the bonnet, on the smart forstars a video projector is integrated here as an ironic highlight.

The sporty, sassy character of the smart forstars is also emphasized by a striking and technically very complex red alubeam finish. "Alubeam rouge" has a wet look that provides an exciting and very modern contrast to the matt and distinctly metallic appearance of the titaniumcoloured tridion cell. Like the smart forvision and the smart for-us, the whole cockpit boasts aerodynamic styling for interior ventilation. The control and display elements are oriented to the driver. Just as the cockpit module divides the instrument panel, the two-spoke steering wheel is open at the top.

The electric drive of the smart forstars is based on the innovative drive concept of the smart fortwo BRABUS electric drive. Compared to the production model of the smart electric drive the output of the magneto-electric motor has been increased to 60 kW, giving the smart forstars agile and lively performance. With 135 Newton metres of torque it boasts powerful, lag-free acceleration and can overtake other vehicles with the greatest of ease. The vehicle has a top speed of around 80mph and the lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 17.6 kWh. Further information from smart is available on the internet: www.media.daimler.com and www.smart.com

TAKING THE FEAR OUT OF CANCER It was my great pleasure this week to meet with Maria Wilson, President of AECC Torrevieja for a cup of coffee at the Leader Lifestyle Expo.

Maria is a woman of tremendous courage, energy and determination. Despite having had cancer herself 3 times in the past 17 years and is still undergoing treatment right now – Maria gives 150% to AECC Torrevieja.

Maria first had cancer 17 years ago when to her horror she was advised that she had a tumour in her buttocks and uterus. It took Maria 2 years to recover from this and was unable to walk for 12 months but Maria faced it head on and recovered. Having had this

tremendous blow to her life, Maria and Carl, her husband, moved to Spain to enjoy a full life under the sun. Then, 2 years ago following a mammogram a lump was discovered in her left breast. Maria had her left breast removed and a full mastectomy for which she is still having treatment. Unfortunately this also triggered her previous cancer but despite the treatment, the radiotherapy, the hospital visits – Maria still has a positive and fantastic outlook on life – to meet Maria makes you feel humble and proud to know her.

Maria’s aim as President of AECC is to take the fear out of cancer and actively campaign for people to come forward for screening – early detection rapidly increases your chances of fighting cancer. We all know someone who has had cancer and Maria wants to take out the fear and bring in the hope.

hamper was Yellow 491 the holder kindly re-donated the hamper to raise further funds. The picture is Snow White drawing the winning ticket with the Branch Chairman.

TORREVIEJA SCHOOL BUS SERVICE Torreviejas Education Councillor, Daniel Plaza, said that the City will reintroduce subsidised school transport to 720 students from the municipality who previously lost it during the last round of cuts by the Generalitat Valenciana.

The transport will be made available for anyone who lives 3 kilometers or more from their allotted school, which will mean an expense to the local treasury of 400,000 euros a year. According to the cllr, the help provided by the municipality will be at least 75% of the price of the service.

LONG ROAD OF JUSTICE

attend and join. You DO NOT have to be ex service to do so. For more information visit our web site www.orihuelacostarbl.com

Over 20 Family and friends of a bricklayer who died in 2003 after falling down a lift shaft in a new building that he was working on carried out a peaceful protest outside the doors of the Torrevieja Courts yesterday.

They were complaining at the delay in bringing the case against the constructor to court. Nine years is totally unacceptable said the boys father Jesus who was carrying a placard saying justice for my son. The case against the builder alleges that the lift shaft was unsafe and had not been inspected or approved for use by local health and safety officers.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE EXPO PACKS ‘EM IN On the 11th and 12th September 2012, the Leader Media Group held it’s first International Lifestyle Expo at the Castillo de Conesa and a magnificent day was had by all over the 2 days. With the support of our sponsors Winning Express, Specsavers, Tabisam and Villamartin Gardens we created the perfect day for all the family.

The one VIP Guest was kept fully occupied, former professional footballer and current BBC TV Pundit, Steve Claridge, who was on hand for both days to meet greet and reminisce.

He told the Leader that he had never felt so important or so popular and he thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to chat with a good many people who actually saw him play. Representing the Arbitrage Facility ‘Winning Express’ Steve is no stranger to the Castle and he even took time out to appear on the EXite Radio Breakfast Show with Kevin Reardon.

The castle itself created a fantastic setting for the Expo which was accentuated by a beautiful display of Classic Cars and motorbikes kindly provided by the local classic car club to support the British Legion. Once you had walked pass the display, you were met with an array of contrasting and unique stalls – ranging from household goods to clothing to stalls supporting various local charities – British Legion, Help Vega Baja, Animal Aid, AECC and DEBRA – the Expo brought together all aspects of local life – supporting one another.

Once you had walked the sandy path, you entered the noble castle rooms and in the coolness of the

castle walls you could enjoy business stands ranging from kitchens, to hot tubs, to satellite TV, to jewellery, to double glazing , to properties, to fireworks– and you could even try a piece of cheese at the traditional English cheese stall – within the castle walls there was something for everyone and there was even more waiting for you outside.

If you walked down the steps of the castle rooms, you found yourself in a tranquil courtyard which created the setting for our Exite Radio stand and entertainment unit. On the outskirts of this area, were more fascinating stands for you to visit – luxurious garden furniture, solar panels, Specsavers, radiant garden plants, beautiful ceramic pots - everything you could possibly need to improve your home and garden.

And if this was not enough – we had a momentous entertainment programme for all ages. You could have danced with Sponge Bob, Patrick, Minnie and Mickie Mouse – or you could enjoy the games organised by Captain Hook and Exite radio – the children absolutely loved it as they danced with painted faces, carrying their balloon shaped animals shaped in our specially created Children’s Entertainment Area. Exite Radio, as always, put on a professional and fantastic array of entertainment – our very own Benny who did us proud, Abba Tribute, Cherry K, Totally Dance, Rebecca Holt – to name but a few of the polished artists whom provided the entertainment throughout the afternoon.

The Leader Media Group International Lifestyle Expo was an all round success for one and all !

By Bar rie Mahoney

room, she heard the strange sound, and she was certain that it was not a clock or an electrical device.

Maybe it was from next door? The ticking went on all day and all night – only it was much louder at night. Sometimes when she came into the room at night it sounded more of a scratching – was it mice or maybe rats? Colin, her husband, also heard the strange noise. Eventually, the couple, through a process of elimination, traced the sound to a coffee table in their living room. It was a rather lovely wood coffee table, purchased over two years ago from a furniture shop in Spain, and was part of a traditional dining suite. It was made of pine, but stained a darker colour in true Spanish style. The table was silent for the first six months, but had since found a voice of its own.

Since the scratching/ticking/clicking noise started, friends were invited in to listen and they too confirmed that the strange noises were coming from the table, and that the sound appeared to be coming from one leg in particular. Many solutions were offered. Maybe the leg could be cut off? What about fumigation? How about painting it with a drop of alcohol? All the ideas were rejected because, it appears, that Brenda and Colin had become rather fond of the creature within – and they wanted to see what would happen next.

Brenda had also recently spotted a small amount of dust around the table leg and was anxious that the creature did not infest other furniture in the house. Brenda was convinced that it was not just woodworm, and that the eggs or larvae of the creature were already within the wood when the table was made.

Later, the couple happened to meet an entomologist on holiday and discussed the problem with him. He visited the couple’s home, and identified ‘the bug’ as ‘Spondylis Buprestoides’ and explained about the creature’s life cycle. Apparently, the creature starts off life as one of many eggs hidden behind the bark of a pine tree. The incubation period is between one and five years, but may be as long as ten years – dependent upon climatic conditions. Presumably, once it has been made into furniture and moved into a warm, sunny room in Spain, this hastens the process. The creature then eats its way out of its woody incubator, goes through three stages as a chrysalis and then finally emerges as a beetle. The beetle is then ready to do what all beetles do to ensure continuation of the species.

I cannot help but to feel some admiration for this creature and for its determination to survive. Brenda

and Colin’s furniture had been through a manufacturing process of dipping and staining before they purchased it, yet these creatures survived even these toxic processes.

So, what about the noise in my study? Sadly, it was nothing quite as exciting or as exotic as Spondylis Buprestoides, but a UPS unit (used to provide a buffer of power to my computer during our regular power cuts), which had reached the end of its useful life and was telling me that it needed to be replaced.

RICKY POW GOES UNDERGROUND IN POLAND This is a fight that has already sparked a great deal of anticipated passion amongst boxing fans as there can be no doubt about the quality of the two fighters in the ring. They have each travelled different roads and toppled challenges along the way but there is little doubt in my mind that in refining his talents it is Pow that has picked up the seasoning and experience to best mark out his abilities as he seeks to gain further understanding in Poland.

The first time that either contender will have stepped up to eight rounds the pedigrees enjoyed by both fighters suggest that the contest is unlikely to go the distance. Pow certainly looks to be in fantastic condition but just one stray left hook could see it all come tumbling down.

Both are big punchers with high drama looking an absolute certainty and if this fight follows a similar script to Pow's previous shows we can expect far more excitement than in any Eastenders Omnibus.

Ricky Pow will be hoping to extend his unbeaten run to nine contests when he takes on the undefeated Polish light heavyweight Andrzej Soldra on the 13th of October in the salt mining city of Wieliczka, a city nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, situated about 30 mins outside Krakow in Poland.

But with Soldra listed 58 places above Pow in the world rankings there will be little time for taking in the sights as the Torreviense, one of the sports rare boxing breeds, a real nice guy, is ambitious to make the sport’s ‘A’ list, harbouring no room for either sentiment or emotion.

Pow is not afraid to take on tough fights and this match in Poland will be as hard as they are likely to come. Not only will he be boxing in Soldra’s back yard, where even a ko won’t guarantee the 25 year old Brit of victory, but he faces a true contender, one who could so easily reverse his intended course.

PARALYMPIC VICTIMS COMPETE ALONGSIDE CONVICTED BOMBER Whilst no-one would argue that the Paralympics were anything but an unquestionable success some pundits are now raising the subject of ethics regarding the selection and classification of a number of the athletes. Of course that bears little on the supreme organisational skills of the London 2012 authorities but it does call into question the wisdom applied by some of the Paralympic standing committees.

Martine is wearing number 7

There was of course the case of the American swimmer Victoria Arlen, who was allowed, then not allowed, before being allowed again; We all saw Oliver Pistorius ranting about unfair advantages in equipment and the length of an opponents running blades; but the one issue that I particularly want to focus upon is the inclusion of Andalusía swimmer and convicted terrorist Sebastian Rodriguez Veloso.

Velosa has an extremely dark past in a life that has been marked by violence and controversy and although he does not like to speak directly about his past he now says that he feels remorse for his crimes.

Twenty seven years ago, in 1985, when he was 26 years of age, he was sentenced to 84 years in prison for his part in several bombings in Spain and the murder of an Andalusian businessman, Rafael Padura.

At the time he was a member of the terror group Grapo, the armed wing of the Communist Party in Spain.

According to the Spanish police, GRAPO was finally disbanded after six of its militants were arrested in June 2007 but, formally, the group has not yet announced its dissolution and continues to be included in the European Union list of terrorist organisations In 1990, whilst serving time in prison Veloso went on a 432-day

hunger strike to demand that all the prisoners of the Maoist group be housed in the same jail. He survived because he was force-fed, although during the period he incurred permanent damage to internal organs causing him to become paralysed from the waist down.

Then, in 1994, he was released from prison under a Spanish law granting parole to seriously ill inmates and in 2007 he received a government pardon.

By that time he was already an exceptional swimmer and Paralympic medallist. At Sydney in 2000 he won five gold medals and broke four world records in the pool.

But his achievements were overshadowed by scandal when it emerged that he had lied to Paralympic officials, saying his disability had been caused by a traffic accident, but despite calls for him to return the medals it was decided by the International Paralympic Committee that he had not broken any rules.

In London Veloso was competing alongside athletes such as Martine Wright, one of Team GB’s Paralympic seated volleyball players, who lost both her legs in the 7/7 London bombing when a terrorist, sitting just feet from her, blew up a tube train. Tragically, she was heading for work on a later train than usual after a late night out with friends who were celebrating London’s win to become Olympic host for 2012.

Whilst Veloso, who won two silver medals and a bronze, in addition to the other 13 medals from previous games, celebrates his success, his inclusion in the games has quite rightly been questioned. Martine, however, is evidence that the legacy of terrorism doesn’t have to be negative. She’s the poster girl, the symbolic two fingers if you want, to those that aim to cause lasting damage to people and places.

Velosa was sentenced to 84 years in jail

LAS RAMBLAS GOLF SOCIETY

BY Doug Wright.

Las Ramblas was basically closed from Monday 3 Sept through to Tuesday 11th because of work being carried out on the greens.

Temporary greens are provided but these basically are a joke with holes just stuck somewhere on a fairway without any advance preparation. On Monday 3rd Sept we went to Villamartin and played a Joker Stableford. The course, apart from the tees, was in good nick and we all enjoyed ourselves in much more pleasant weather conditions for golf. The results were: 1. Phil Herrington 44 pts, 2. Nick Campbell 42 pts, 3. Lindsay Forbes 40 pts. 2s Club. Lindsay Forbes.

It was back to golf on Wednesday 12th but to be honest the greens were still not great. Also we were not happy to find that there was a large visiting party going off from the 10th which meant that when we came round there was going to be a backlog. Because of this we decided to play our Stableford over 9 holes. The results were: Cat 1. 1st. Lindsay Forbes 20 pts, 2nd. Ron Phipps 19 pts c/b, 3rd.

Tom Hardie 19 pts. Cat 2. 1st. John Collins 17 pts, 2nd. Mike Chapman 16 pts, 3rd. Mark Austin (guest) 15 pts.

On Friday we played a Texas Scramble which was a very tight affair with 4 teams finishing within 0.6 of each other. The winners with 61.2 were Lindsay Forbes, Ken Meridith & Brian Humpherson. Unlucky runners up, beaten by only 0.1 were John Collins, Brian Dent & Yvonne Phipps with 61.3.

LA ZENIA GOLF SOCIETY

By Eric Lucas Another good turnout at La Torre, on Thursday, with some new members joining for their first game with us. The weather was good for golfing a few clouds to keep the sun away and a slight cool wind. The course was looking, good except again for the bunkers, hard sand that needs some re working. We played full handicap stableford, with four n/t/p's and a two's competition. Sue Lowe was on form again and came in second with a good score of 37 pt's only two behind the winner.

Understand the 18th let her down were she became un well. Hope you get well Sue, you seem to be getting better in Gogarty's after the amber nectar. Please note that the final payment for Albacete is to be made on Thursday 20th September, if you cannot make that date, contact Ernie Wilson to make the final payment. Winner today with 39 pt's was Ken Meredith, runner up Sue Lowe with 37 pt's, N/T/P'S No 3 Nick Brooks, No 9 Noel Keohane, No 12 Nick Brooks No 18 Noel Keohane. No this is not a misprint both of them never gave the rest of us a chance. Two's one winner Sean Daly. Presentations were made back at Gogarty's by Vice captain Ernie Wilson and Captain Mike Sephton. Thanks to Debbie and Joe for their hospitality at Gogarty's Diary Dates Thursday 20 th September at Roda first tee 11-30, meet at Gogarty's 10-00, Saturday 22nd September at Riquelme first tee 9-00, Thursday 27th September at Mar Menor Presidents Trophy first tee 10-30, meet at Gogarty's 9-00 Guests are welcome to all our games, clubs can be hired, all info on the notice board outside Gogarty's Contact Numbers 667 196 178 Eric, 690 268 711 Maurice

‘Mike Probert talks Golf Sponsored by Costa Blanca Green Fee Services Here on the Costa’s golf is one of the biggest leisure time activities for both tourists and resident alike and with this in mind we have secured the services of Mike Probert of Costa Blanca Green Fee Services to provide a weekly round up of local golfing events and topics and in conjunction with us at THE LEADER will provide discounted golf prices to all of our readers and run our golf competitions.

Golf Course Condition If you play golf here on the Costa’s during the long summer months you will find courses in excellent condition with green grass and fast greens, Unfortunately there is a price to pay for the good condition of the courses and this usually shows itself in the early weeks of September when many of our local courses look the worse for wear and just why is this? The last week in August and first week in September are used by courses to hollow tine the greens and it takes 15-20 days for the greens to recover from this work. In addition to this due to the lack of rain during the summer months the courses pay huge amounts of money for water to be pumped onto their courses but unfortunately the quality of this water varies and in particular the salt levels in the water and falling night time temperatures can cause problems particularly on the greens. The result is that the greens, while putting reasonably well can look brown and patchy and at present Bonalba is an example of this problem.

The problem can also appear as similar problems on fairways and fringes of greens as currently seen at Altorreal and La Peraleja at present. The courses will repair themselves in a few short weeks and all they need is some respite from the searing heat and more than anything else, natural rain water. Take another look at the courses towards the end of September and you will really see the difference.

We at THE LEADER are committed to providing to our golfing readers affordable golf without the need to join a club or apply for a card but simply contact the number below to have instant access to discounted golf prices, many of which are exclusive to us.

When will the Spanish gover nment lear n?

BY IVIE DAVIES Tourism is the only industry that Spain has and as we all know they increased golf IVA by 13% and we all knew how it would impact on tourism, now this!

Golf is also touched by the economical crisis. Indeed, The European Tour announced that the 2012 Andalucía Masters, due to be played at the Club de Golf Valderrama, Sotogrande, on October 18-21, will now be cancelled.

The Junta de Andalucía confirmed this decision by letter which they also announced by a press release on Monday September 10th because of a lack of funds; after a change of their government, Andalusia has drastically reduced its public finance regarding sportive events.

News of Valderrama's cancellation comes amid ongoing concerns over the cost of staging of major sporting events in Spain due to the country's financial crisis.

George O’Grady, European tour boss said: “''This is extremely disappointing news to receive, especially at such a late date. We have

been long term partners with the Junta for over 25 years. In that time we have seen together with many other events, the Volvo Masters staged in Andalucía from 19882008, two American Express World Golf Championships, won by Tiger Woods in 1999 and Mike Weir in 2000, and the Jewel in the Crown, The 1997 Ryder Cup played at Club de Golf Valderrama. They have worked together to promote the region, and the Junta de Andalucía and The European Tour have enjoyed an exceptionally strong and committed long term partnership.

A change of government in the Andalucia region appears to have been the trigger for the move, with the new authorities keen to cut costs.

Despite discussions with the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, and a formal legal agreement with the Junta de Andalucía, the tournament, won in 2011 by Sergio García, will not take place.

The European Tour feel the disappointment not only for their Members and all committed to broadcasting and reporting this tournament and the region on a

The golf societies venue for the 12th September 2012 was held at the Las Ramblas Golf Course.

A tricky course for most of the high handicap players, this resulted in the scores being fairly moderate. However the players enjoyed a good days golf.

The competition was in the stableford format, and the scores were recorded, as follows:Nearest the Pin on the 6th was Dave Cahill.

Nearest the Pin on the 15th was Andy McDonald.

Nearest the Pin on the 18th was Stewart Coleman.

Best Guest was Graham Mitchell with a score of 22 Silver Class 3rd Place was Barry Sawyer with a score of 22 points.

Silver Class 2nd Place was Andy McDonald with a score of 24 points.

Silver Class 1st Place was Dave Railton with a score of 25 points.

Gold Class 3rd Place was Steve Cottle with a score of 25 points.

Gold Class 2nd Place was Dave Cahill with a score of 33 points.

Gold Class 1st Place was Stewart Coleman with a score of 33 points on count back.

Anyone wishing to Join our friendly society just need to phone Mick on 659866468 or Stewart on 966180003.

global scale, but also for the many visitors, especially from Northern Europe, who match their vacations with the tournament.

Three tournaments have been cancelled this season due to a lack of sponsors. They include the Majorca Open, the Madrid Masters and the following week’s Castellon Masters.

In 2010 Spain hosted seven European Tour events but it could be left with just one next year, the Spanish Open.

There is a massive domino effect as a result with hotels, restaurants and

bars being adversely affected by such short sighted decisions.

Having been the instigator of bringing of two PGA EuroPro Tour championship finals, filmed by Sky Sports, to Murcia, the most recent being October last year, I am aware of the difficulty in getting sponsorship, but for whatever reason there seems to be a lack of understanding here as to the benefits such events can bring, in the form of marketing Spain’s main and possibly only industry, tourism.Is this the thin end of the wedge for golf in Spain as we know it?

SAN JAVIER GOLF SOCIETY Hi Everyone, Our last society game was at Peraleja Golf and it was a great day for playing as the weather was a little cooler for us.

The course was not in as good condition as it should have been with the fairways still cut far to short. Saying that we had a great day it was a team event of 6,6,6. with the top three teams being very close. Once again our captain's team came out on top but it was no thanks to him he had a bad day at the office. Two shots of the day where on the par3 16th with the two ladies Lyn Gallard and Joan Williams both getting within a foot of the pin and taking away two 2s very well done ladies. Bubba Smith was on form again and just like bubba had no idea where some of the shots where going talk about bend it like Beckham.

Result 1st Barry Beale, Ty Williams, Dave Archer, Juan Extra - 118pts 2nd Roy Herbert, John Hillier, Tony Mann, Dave Williams - 116pts 3rd Paul Matthews, Mick Hardy, Ian Smith, Joan Williams - 115pts The next Society's game is on Wednesday, 19th September 2012 at RODA GOLF. 1st Tee time - 10.00am. The format will be Individual Stableford.

Members 44€, Guests 49€, Buggies 12€ (shared). 3€ Insurance.

COOPERS GOLF SOCIETY For our September meeting we travelled to La Peraleja golf in what was ideal weather being very warm but with a refreshing breeze. The golf course is showing signs of the extremely hot summer with the fairways being very bare although the greens are good and true. We played an18 hole stapleford with some good golf played Results - Nearest the pin: 2nd hole Dave Pretty, 7th hole Brian Smith, 12th hole Brian Smith, 16th hole Sam Matkin Stapleford Results: 3rd place dave pretty 27 points, 2nd place Sam Matkin30 points, 1st place Brian smith 34 points We returned to the Coopers Arms where we were treated to a great meal served by Chanade and her friendly staff Anyone wishing to join our society please contact Brian 680 696 838 or 966 71 6340

HAPPY DAYS AT MAR MENOR

Just a couple of kilometres behind the sleepy little town of Pilar de la Horadada is the Lo Romero course, an interesting and challenging test of golf for low and high handicappers alike.

A good yardstick of what the day had in store was the subtle comment made on the first tee as the last two fourballs engaged in some gentlemanly gossip and banter…..”C’mon Keith, you’re only on the first tee and you’ve nearly lost a hole already!”

Although only a short time after their end of summer maintenance, the course was in great shape and the usual high scoring looked likely to continue at this popular venue.

It’s been commented on many times before but it keeps happening – I’m sure the slope awarded to this course is in dire need of a re-think as once again all the prize-winners have shot under par, with half of them amassing over 40 points!

Surely the course is not so difficult as to justify golfers with handicaps of 13 or 14 to play off 17. It’s all very well on the day but the “society scalpel” will have to give way to the “ ‘andicap axe” to cope with the sweeping cuts which are once again the result of a visit to Lo Romero.

NTP’s were won by John Osborne, Norman Padmore, Graham Cockayne and Phil de Lacy with Vicky O’Connor collecting the guest’s prize with a very respectable 34 points….on her first ever visit to the course.

All prize-winners in the main competition deserve a pat on the back…….and enjoy your new handicaps! First and second in the silver category were Norman Padmore and Marg’ Birtwistle with 84 points between them! (43 and 41 respectively) With a total of only a mere 77, the gold winners were Ken Flaherty (39) and John Osborne (38) Not everyone enjoyed such a high-scoring day with Norman McBride, a name normally at the top end of most result sheets, collecting this week’s “Abacus” award with his very unusual tally of just 23 points! (It’s strongly rumoured that he only played nine!)

There’s still a few spaces in the remaining September meetings at La Torre (19th) and La Finca (26th) with the rest of the year’s venues available from Barry on 966 731 033 or go to www.smgs.org We’re a friendly bunch and visitors are always made very welcome.

Las Colinas 11th Sept.

Twentyfour members and guests congregated for a mid-day start at our home club.

Initial shortages of buggies were overcome, with some players electing to walk. Possibly not a bad idea as Colinas currently have a “buggies on paths only” regime due to course over seeding.

To the golf, well the highlight has to be a more than impressive hole in one at the 190 metre 17th by Yorkshire's finest, Bryan Hirst. For those of you who follow TV soap operas, Bryan was the original landlord at Emerdale's Woolpack Inn, so what do you think to that Mr Wilks. By the way, a David Hockney painting of the pub was recently sold at a charity auction for over £4,000.

The results, well five points at the 17th certainly helped Bryan to first place with 41 points but only after a count back with Lars Tigerburg. Third place went to one of the younger members, Brian (Bin) Layden with 36 points.

Again after a count back with Handicap Secretary, Geoff Hollingsworth (Could be painful) Best guest was Peter Smart, also with 36 points.

You will no doubt be amazed that everyone found their way to the Secret Garden for a meal and prize presentation by Captain Lionel Smith who's Captains Day is next month, the 9th of October.

What a glorious day for our ind s,ford comp, the course looked good but had just been hollow tined, but despite this we had some very good scores and we all enjoyed the day, thanks go to the stewards who were very helpful and pleasant. In first place was a new and very popular winner, our fixtures sec, Kevin Wenn (37) on c/b. 2nd was Dave Eadington (37) 3rd was Kevin Barrat (35). The best front 9, Ken Farrow, the best back 9, Andy Nickels, both with 20 pts. Best par 3s, Bob Cashin, (10) par 4s, Dave Naylor (21) par 5s, Stewart Black (10). N.T.Ps, (2) Kedric Rhodes, (8) Ken Farrow, (14) Kevin Wenn. (17) Stewart Black. Unluckiest player of the day was Kedric ,who accidently played his ball ? to within 4 ft of the pin, onlly to discover it was,nt his ball, but mine, the 2hot penalty cost him a share of the lead!!! i did;nt know Kedric knew all those words. We returned to Marinasol (Cabo Roig ) for our presentations, thanks to all the girls and Steve for looking after us so well, and all the tasty sandwiches, most of us are off on our 3 day trip 24th to 26th, with 24 players at Desert Springs on the 25th. Enjoy your golf, even a poor round can be enjoyable if youre playing with friends. Robin (the Scribe) Adams.

CLARKES BAR GOLF SOCIETY Las Colinas Wed 12/09/12 This week we took advantage of the post maintenance special deal at Las Colinas for our weekly stableford competition. As expected the course was in good condition and the greens were receptive and true. The only problem being the amount of sand around the greens made chipping a little hazardous but generally the scoring was quite good.

Results on the day: Nearest the pin hole 7 : Robert Wardrop (even though it came off the bank) Nearest the pin hole 17 : John Porter Longest drive hole 3 : Tommy Clarke Winner with 40 points : Martin Cunningham Runner up with 39 points: Roy Welburn It seems our friendly tame lumberjack will be having a busy time chopping handicaps before our next venture Peraleja on Thursday 20/09/12 meet at Clarkes Bar at 07:45.

Elite Golf Society at La Finca G.C. Saturday 8th September 2012 We played a team match today as the condition of the greens, after so called maintenance work, was so poor that we did not expect our members to play an individual competition that would affect their handicaps on such terrible surfaces.

I have been a member at La Finca for 7 years and I have never seen the greens in such a state I just hope that we have some rain soon to help them recover.

The competition was played by teams of 4 players in a medal format with full handicap allowance. On the first 6 holes the single best net score was entered on the team card and then on the next 6 holes the best two net scores and finally over the last 6 hole the best 3 net scores were entered.

Our winning team were Peter Yarwood, Brian Bevan, Jack Simpson and Norman Wilde.

Our nearest the pin winners were Brian Bevan on the 3rd and 13th holes, Peter Yarwood on the 6th and Glynn Chappell on the 16th.

In our two's competition only one was scored today and that was made by Barry Roehrig on the 16th hole, unfortunately for Barry hole number 6 was drawn from the hat so its another rollover.

Finally we welcomed a new member today Shaun Locke, welcome to Elite Shaun I hope you enjoy your golfing with us.

Ship Hispaniola Golf Society Villaitana on 9th & 10th September 2012 In association with Costa Blanca Green Fee Services For this months meeting we held the Captains weekend at Benidorm playing both courses at Villaitana taking advantage of the excellent society deal obtained from Costa Blanca Green Fee Services.

Everyone had a good time both on and off the golf course where we stayed on the 15th floor of an apartment block where some of us needed oxygen and the evening activities consisted of beer, food and recreation.

The prizes were presented by the out-going Captain, Brian Burnard and the winners were as follows: The Ryder Cup was won by the Vice Captain, Bob Hewitson and his team (Karen, Ian, John and Joe), 5 1/2 points to 4 ? points over 2 days of 5 pairs of closely contested matches.

Our thanks go to Jan and Mike Probert for sponsoring the prizes to the winning team The individual were as follows Winner and Club Champion – Karen Matthews (41 points + 37 points) = 78 points Runner-Up – Brian Burnard (46 points + 30 points) = 76 points 3rd Place – Wayne Matthews (34 points + 31 points) = 65 points Some serious handicap reductions will follow!

After the game we returned to the bar which is located in La Mata for refreshments and the prize presentation and it is just a pity not more of the players could make the prize presentation.

Our next fixture is at Vistabella on Monday 08/10/12 and there are still some places available.

New members and guest are always welcome so call Wayne Matthews on 671907458 or better still call in the bar.

EUROGOLF SOCIETY

ST JAMES’S GATE G S

QUESADA BOWLS CLUB

42 players took part in the first medal game of the Eurogolf Golf Society 2012 season at La Marquesa, Rojales. The weather was a bit cooler due to the cloud cover. However a combination of the blustery winds and the green being hollow tined last week, meant that the scoring today was on the high side with no players achieving a nett score under par.

The results were as follows: Gold Division: Nett 75 B Martin, Nett 77(count back), A Venables, Nett 77, K Wright Silver Division: Nett 77 M Turner, Nett 82 F Gentili, Nett 83 J Ogden Nearest the Pins: 5th B Martin, 11th M Turner, 12 (second shot) D Spiring, 15th D Spiring, 17th S Low, Best Front 9: 36 B Evans. Best Back 9:38 points V Tocker. Best Gross:B Martin We look forward to more of our members returning during the coming weeks and the green returning from the hollow tining.

VISTABELLA TUESDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 22 Members and guests played a Stableford competition with some good scores returned. The condition of this course is out-standing with immaculate greens which reflected in the scoring. Ivie Davies took Category One with 37 points from Alan Clifford on 32 points with Les Yates on 30 points taking Third place. Category Two was also won with 37 points from Mick Hithersay with Pete Root and Ron Chambers taking Second and Third place with 33 points each. Only one green was hit today by Mick Hithersay on the 14th.Longest Drive was won by Les Yates with Andy Stenning taking Best Guest.

On Tuesday evening the Quesada Bowls Social club organised a brilliant evening at the Laurel & Hardy's restaurant in Quesada. During the excellent meal the new club flag was lowered, to the sounds of a piper, when the sun went down. Later in the evening everyone was entertained by the Quesada Village People, made up of the social committee men. Can you spot them; Steve Gray the builder, Nigel Baigent the policeman, Chip Chapman the cowboy, Dave Donovan the Indian and Bob Pinfold the sailor.

Also a new competition has just started on Sat morning at 10 for 10-30 start it’s called the Butchers Trips & the winning team each Saturday get a Voucher for 5 euros each which are being sponsored by the Chop Shop in Quesada. The normal Wednesday afternoon Rioteers carries on we'd afternoon as usual 1-30 for 2pm start.

LO CRISPIN GOLF SOCIETY AT EL PLANTIO Wednesday the 12th was another fine day as we travelled to one of our favourite courses El Plantio to play our Metford competition. This is a real test of golf as the first nine holes are played as Medal and the second nine Stapleford. The Staple ford score is deducted from the Medal score and the lowest score wins.

The members of the society were very disappointed in the condition of the course which we had been warned that the greens had been treated.

However some of the greens were treated as we were playing and it was almost impossible to putt. When our Vice Captain Phil Rhodes complained after the match the management of the course decreased the fee for the day by 10 Euros for each member which was appreciated.

Shortest drive of the day was hotly contested between Phil Rhodes and Mick Budd on the first tee but Mick won it as he went out of bounds about

ten metres off the tee. Scott Blair took the prize for the highest score on the Metford section taking 15 on the 8th hole.

Prizes - Nearest the pins were dominated by Carl Peden who is our longest hitter which meant he was able to fly the bad conditions and land on the greens. He won Holes 4, 11 and 14 with John Featherstone winning hole 9. Gold Division: 1st Carl Peden with 22 points, 2nd Dicky Claeys with 22 points, 3rd Mike Johnston with 24 Silver Division: 1st Andrew Cox with 21, 2nd Alan Watson with 22, 3rd Norman Potter with 22 Bronze Division: 1st Don Oliver with 22, 2nd Paul Carter with 25, 3rd Chris Nields with 27.

TMGS MATCH REPORT FOR LAS COLINAS, 12TH SEPTEMBER 2012.

38 members and guests met up in the midday sun for our latest match where it was hot, it was busy and the course was in quite very good condition considering all the work that has been undertaken. It is just a shame that their organisation didn’t quite come up to par.

All in all though, those attending did enjoy their game of golf and only one player actually broke par and of course that will mean another handicap cutting exercise to be undertaken by the “Laughing Assassin” also known as the Handicap Secretary.

The Silver category was taken by, once again, the old warhorse himself, Mick Kennedy with 31 points who pushed John Hagart into 2nd place also with 31 points, but a better back 9. These countback’s are becoming a regular theme as another one was needed to make sure that Sandra Wells took 3rd place with 29 points.

The Gold division was won by John Eyre with a very useful score of 39 points and was quite a distance in front of the Flying Dutchman, Theo Boelhouwer who scored 33 points. Countback saw John Mellor on 32 points secure 3rd spot.

The Best Visitors 1st prize went to J. Fleming with a very creditable 35 points and with just 1 point behind on 34 was Vernon Brown claiming 2nd place.

A very big thank you goes to John and Paula Hagart who kindly sponsored the Nearest to the Pin prizes. We did have one member so desperate for a bottle of vino he tried to claim the Visitors Only NTP. I won’t mention any names, but he scored 39 points today. His excuse? “I played off of the ladies tee and didn’t see the sign” which of course is a load of tosh coming from someone that needs to visit Specsavers.

LA MARINA BOWLS CLUB La Marina Bowls Club are proud to announce that we will be holding part of the Valencian Championship on the 22/23/24/25 of September on our Green, It will have some of the best Bowlers appearing and everyone is welcome.

Wednesday 12th September Avalon Funeral Plans Sponsored a Rinks match at La Marina, the day was a huge success and we thank Avalon for the Prizes and the Buffet afterwards, The winning Rink was Ron Maiden, Joy Hancock, Richard Robinson, Skip Brian Zelin.

Saturday 29th September La Marina Bowls Club 10am until 1pm presents a Table Top sale Bric Brac, Raffles, Target Bowls, Cake and Card Stools and a lot more, every one welcome.

On a closing note, one of our members, John Hagart has lost a rather large set of keys that were on the signing in desk. May we ask all to check their golf bags, pockets, handbags (ladies only of course!) to see if they inadvertently picked his set of keys up.

ABBEY ANGLING MATCH FISHING

By Terry Screen We fished the 4th round of the Winter League this week on the 11th September at the Embalsa de Pedrera.

The water is going down at an incredible rate, and leaving the margins with at least a metre and half of sticky mud several inches deep that is making a mess of everything.

The fish were not in a feeding mood especially on the windy side, the two best weights coming off the sheltered bay.

1st Ian (The Irish Wizard) Dalzell with 14.140kg fishing the feeder waggler and pellet. 2nd Bill (The Master) Reade with 7.440kg fishing the waggler hemp and tares. 3rd Terry (Swing Em) Screen with 4.640kg fishing whip and maggot for bleak.

We would like to thank everyone for there continuing support with kind and generous donations to Abbey Angling and Rods & Reels joint sponsored charity Emaus Children’s Home in Elche.

All details are available from our web site www.abbeyangling.com or from the Match Secretary Terry Screen on 965 32 8368.

RECORD BREAKING STAR T FOR ELCHE! ELCHE CF ...........................2 SPORTING GIJON ..............1 Unbelievable Elche broke their own record, set 60 years ago of five straight wins to start a new season.

The Illicitanos now have an amazing maximum fifteen points from their first five games, scored twelve, five against. Gijon were relegated from La Liga last season and to date have only two points, and look in big trouble with little firepower and ideas. A great result for Elche, but the details of the match tells a very different story...

Before the game the club unkindly pulled one of those pricing stunts on all us faithful (only 6,888, disgraceful given Elche’s performance) where despite your season ticket you have to wait in a hot sweaty queue to pay more – grrr! No place for hot new striker Carles Gil, still injured from last week, which meant the first start this season for left winger Palanca, who has featured previously, when fit, to give the Illicitanos width.

Otherwise Elche were at full strength and started strongly with Rivera hooking over the bar after only five minutes - but we didn’t have to wait long before the real thing. Down the middle Xumetra held off a strong challenge from a high through ball before releasing Coro in space. The new striker coolly took the ball on to slot it low past the lanky Pablo in the Sporting goal: again Elche were on the way with an early goal, and naturally we all expected more.

We nearly got it as ‘Zoomy’ Xumetra, who is having a

terrific season already tried something sensational, reminiscient of his goal against Murcia last season when he scored from inside his own half. He did it again yesterday, but this time Pablo just got back to scramble the ball wide for a corner. Moments later Zoomy grazed the bar as he turned and shot from an oblique angle as Elche pressed hard with the visitors nowhere, but no more goals as we moved into the second half. The luckless Palanca was substituted by newsupersub/utility man Mantecon, an ever-present in recent seasons. But the Franjiverdes seemed to go off the boil, and lose their attacking edge, so exciting in the first half. Although Gijon were still lacking upfront, they began to worryingly control more of the ball in midfield.

On the hour the blistering sun mercifully went in, and immediately Elche survived a terrible mix-up in the defence. We all breathed again, but the danger was not heeded and within minutes following an attack down Elche’s left flank the ball hit the home post and came out, only for Nacho to ram in the equaliser. It should never have got to that, so in control were Elche; it was probably the first decent attack Gijon had mounted.

With twenty minutes left Elche coach Fran Escriba took goalscorer Coro off, to boldly put big local boy Juame Jornet on, in a vital effort to get back in the lead and keep Elche’s proud 100% record intact.

It all looked in vain as we moved towards full time. In Sporting’s area a half-hearted shout for a penalty was turned down as a defender took the ball wide to safety.

Mantecon whipped the ball off his toe, was tripped, and this time the penalty was dramatically awarded.

After shocked Gijon protests were turned down ‘Cool Hand Luke’, dead-ball specialist Albacar rifled in the winner to send the Elche crowd into unexpected ecstasy, to return to our loved ones watching Strictly/The X Factor or whatever the Spanish equivalent is, secure in the knowledge that the wonderful, unbelievable Elche start to the season is still going strong, the envy of the rest of divison 2A. Next Saturday the league leaders travel to sixth-placed Huesca, which will further test this unbelievable Elche side. With luck like we had against Gijon, we’ll go far...

Mucho Elche!

BLANK DAY AT ROJALES

TORRY SUCKERED BY MURO

Thader 0 Villajoyoso 0

By MACER

By Steve Hibberd Both with identical starts to the league season Torry and Muro were hoping for the win that would confirm their early season form and maintain their position on the tail of league leaders Novelda, But it was two late ‘sucker punches’ from the visitors that proved to be the talking point at half time.

Despite Torry ‘bossing’ the game two strikes from Muro’s Pascual and Mario Real provided the visitors with a half time lead.

The home side could have been in front as early as the 3rd minute when Jorge shot over from close range and with further chances from both Jorge and Dani we were all wondering how Torry hadn’t taken the lead when on 43 mins a wonder strike from Pascual put the visitors in front. The home side were hurting even more when 2 mins later Camps pulled back a cross for Mario Real who only needed to connect to see the ball trickle past Manolo to provide Muro with a 2-0 interval lead.

It was all guns blazing for Torry in the second period as they continued to pile on the pressure. Both Cuco Rosi and Inarejos hould have done better with good opportunities but when Cuco Rosi blasted over from the penalty spot in the 70th minute you just knew it wasnt going to be Torry’s day.

Mario Real sealed victory for the visitors when he beat the offside trap just prior to the final whistle.

Next Sunday another home game, 6pm ko versus Jove Espanol.

Two out of form teams trying to put something together was what we expected and what we got. Thader started lively enough but that was as good as it got. Back to old ways with too much air time for the ball and no one player actually attacking it. I think the fans would have rather been in the bar or at home eating dinner and I for one don't blame them. I ca’t find one thing in this half that excited us, it is hard to be constructive about what we saw.

The fans had nought to write home about and neither do I. The second half started in much the same way as the first but Thader did look better when they tried to play on the ground. Both sides seemed to have no finishing power and this showed in their position in the league thus far. One exciting move, a through ball and a save (albeit with his leg) stops the visitors from going ahead.

I can only apologise for the lack of substance in this report only Hans Christian Anderson wrote fairy tales and I am no good at it. Well done Ref you probably had the best game. Next week away to CD Contestano

FC Torrevieja ....0 Muro CF .....3

ENSA ARRIVAL WINS IT FOR REDS Horadada CF ....2 Pinoso CF .....0 Despite last week’s injury time defeat at Santa Pola, Horadada went into this game in confident mood fully expecting to maintain their impressive record in recent years against Pinoso and in a one way first half display they really should have been a couple in front when they walked off the field for the half time interval. Javi, wearing the captain’s armband after a late withdrawal of Campello, and Alberto were controlling everything for the Reds and it was only some excellent keeping by Vardan in the Pinoso goal that had kept the home side at bay.

We always felt that one Horadada goal would bring more and that was certainly the case when the arrival of Ensa on the hour mark provided the Reds with the speed on the flanks that they had previously been missing.

As he left three Pinoso defenders standing, seconds after his arrival, his cross saw Robles beat the Pinoso keeper from close range.

Although the visitors then came back into the game it was the home side that extended their lead on 76 mins when sharp thinking by Javi saw the forward pick himself up after being fouled and with a quick free kick put Robles through on goal. His shot rebounded off the keepers chest into the path of Ensa who was following up to seal all three points for Horadada.

A good performance from the Reds with some neat and attractive football.
