PLAYING THE GREEN WASTE GAME Around thirty people took to the streets of Orihuela this week, coinciding with the monthly meeting of the government team, in order to protest about the state of the streets of the Orihuela Costa. In a press release from the CLARO political group following the event, they said that, “Despite constant complaints by residents and political protests by C.L.A.R.O. throughout the summer, Orihuela Costa has continued to suffer the consequences of a breakdown in the service of collection and disposal of green garden waste”. In fact, during the meeting itself, the Mayor of the municipality, Montseratte Guillén, was heard to echo the sentiment, reading out a declaration made by CLARO, in which he said that “Orihuela Costa has never been as bad”, in referring to the garden waste on the streets. It was inevitable that the opposition would agree with the statement, which would

undoubtedly show Orihuela in a poorly managed state, until Guillén dropped the bombshell that the statement he was readying had been made in 2010, whilst the municipality was still being run by Bob Houliston´s now political allies, the Partido Popular, under Mónica Lorente. In fact, since that statement, Orihuela has seen the government of the time ousted, the waste disposal contract which is the subject of a legal case being brought back under the direct management of the town hall, the Orihuela Costa being served by Bob Houliston or CLARO, then Pedro Mancebo of the CLR, and now, the current post holder, Martina Schreurer or the Los Verdes, so it might seem an obvious question to ask how the situation has continued through all these changes, along with the realisation perhaps that the subject is becoming nothing more than a political game that allows for criticism of whoever might be in charge, as the evidence is so clear to see as it lies on the streets.

Continued from Page One However, one thing that is now different is the fact that investigations are being carried out that hope to find the truth behind the occurrence of such large qualities of green cuttings, which are quite clearly not proportionate to the number of trees and plants that remain in the private dwellings. In fact, Orihuela is amongst only a handful of municipal councils who actually provide any kind of collection service for garden waste, which may well mean that the provision is taken somewhat for granted, but may also explain why Orihuela may be being exploited by commercial operators, who find a street an easier option to dispose of their waste, rather than having to pay for it to be disposed of properly, whilst they are making money carrying out the tasks of tree trimming. In order to try to identify these “fly tippers”, a number of Local Police officers have been carrying out surveillance, at the same time as the town hall has been gathering their own evidence, and have already identified a number of companies who are indeed dumping waste on the streets of Orihuela. One of those companies was very much a surprise find, as they have been identified as a garden firm from San Miguel, which, according to Guillén, is owned by the brother of the former mayor, and principle member of the opposition PP group, Mónica Lorente. Therefore, if that is the case, a family member of one of the most vocal complainants of the garden waste seem to be responsible for creating the mess in the first place, or at least a portion of it. During the plenary meeting of this week, another very senior politician of the Partido Popular, David Costa, expressed the situation as “ridiculous” that the government ask residents to telephone the town hall to ask when to put the garden waste out on to the street for collection, so as to minimise the time it is left out. However, whilst making this public complaint, Costa clearly ignored, or forgot the fact that it was his government team in their previous administration who had implemented the call-to-collect service he is now complaining about. Moreover, the government team have been examining the service in great detail, identifying even more alarming facts

Monday, 4th November, 2013 which they are now intending to try and resolve, such as an estimated 20,000 properties on the Orihuela Costa alone who don´t actually contribute anything financially to the collection service. Of those properties who do, the standard fee charged for the service is 4.05€ every three months, little over a euro per month, towards a service that costs a considerable portion of the 8 million euro budget. The final question of responsibility must then come down to each and every one of the residents. They must question as to whether they comply with the instructions to telephone the town hall to ask when to put the garden waste on the street, keeping it separate from all other residual or none-garden matter, and it this is the case, then you can rest assured that you are doing your bit. However, recycling and separation still seems and alien concept to many, which was of course the result of the termination of the somewhat futuristic garden waste collection and renewal service that has also become a matter of criticism. Nobody is claiming that the waste collection is perfect, but then again, nor has it ever been. It is much the same story in neighbouring municipalities too. A short trip to Torrevieja will see the streets in a very similar state to Orihuela. But what is clear is that education and compliance for all is the most obvious solution, because, despite what the politicians may say, it is the people who put the waste on the street, and it now looks like the people will have to pay, as the situation has gone beyond acceptance, but we can all do our bit to help. It´s time to take away this football from the political play ground and take ownership of the problem once more. Everybody knows, “It´s not easy being green”, but the more we try to respect our own neighbourhoods, the easier it will become.

ORIHU ELA FINED FOR LACK OF LIFEGUARDS

Orihuela town hall has been ordered to pay 157,333 euro compensation for liability following the death of a swimmer at Cala Capitán, where there were no life guards present, nor the mandatory red flag, for an incident which dates back to 2007. At the time, The Leader reported how two people had died whilst trying to rescue a girl who was in difficulty whilst trying to leave the water. The two people were identified at the time as being a 57 year old Spaniard, who had managed to swim back to shore before dying, and a 39 year old Dutch citizen, who was rescued from the water by the Cruz Roja. At the time, statements revealed that five people had attempted to rescue the girl, all jumping onto the sea having realised the sever situation she

was in, but due to the extremely strong currents, the conditions would prove to be fatal. The remaining three rescuers, including a 35 year old British citizen, all had to be treated by medics at the scene. Despite the tragic end to the rescue, the girl did survive and was immediately reunited with her parents. Spokesperson for the government team, Antonia Moreno, made the announcement this week, in which she gave details of the judgment of the court of litigation in Elche, for the drowning which occurred on the 13th of July, 2007, at around 10:30 in the morning. During the time, the municipality was managed by the government of the Partido Popular, under the former mayor, Mónica Lorente, who had taken office only a short time before hand, having taken over from her PP colleague, José

Manuel Medina Cañizares. Life guard services were provided on the beaches by the Cruz Roja, but they did not start their duties until 11:00 in the morning, half an hour after this tragedy occurred. Although the contractual agreement did not contribute to the incident in any way, according to the ruling, posters displayed on the beaches claimed that life guard protection was provided, uninterrupted, between 10:00 and 20:00. According to the information from the ruling, the sentence reflects the “malfunctioning provision of lifeguard services”, given that on the day in question there was no red flag, a sign indicative of danger, nor were there lifeguard services at the time of the incident, at about 10:30 am, having been accredited by the defendant that the service started from 11:00 hours.

TORREVIEJA COURT INVESTIGATES DISAPPEARANCE OF TRAFFIC FINES Traffic in Torrevieja is once again under scrutiny, this time though it is a judge who is investigating a complaint filed by three police officers, after a motorist was issued a fine by the local police for an offence, but the money paid was not processed by the official channels, and simply disappeared, nor is there any record of the sanction. In this case, which occurred in November, 2011, three officers were said to be patrolling an area of avenida de Rosa Mazón and calle María Humildad Jiménez, and were surprised by a passenger car which failed to observe a signal, almost colliding with their marked police vehicle. The officers stopped the offending vehicle and spoke to the driver, who was said to be uncooperative, threatening them with the knowledge that has was friends with a senior police officer. A fine was issued to the driver. Weeks after the incident, a police officer made contact with the Suma office in Torrevieja to inquire if the fine had reached the collection agency. But that office confirmed that they had no record of its existence. The matter now under investigation is the fact that the Chief of Police has no records or means of tracking complaints and fines, as, according to reports, the money is deposited in a small box in the basement of the custody office, where it could be easily accessed by anybody. The court has called the councillor for security, Agustina Esteve, as a witness to testify as to how the system operates. Although Esteve was not in charge of the police at the time of the incident

in question, at that time it would have been Eduardo Gil Rebollo, questions still need to be answered as to the processing of fines, as well as the court seeking clarification as to whether or not there is a method of tracing fines through the traffic or local Suma offices. The police officers who have indicated that when they filed the complaint, they did so not to “harm” or “attack the honour and dignity” of the police leadership, but because they are “officials responsible for enforcing the law and therefore have brought to the attention of the judicial authorities events in the exercise of their functions”. They also state that they tried to highlight the problem to the councillors in charge, but their arguments went unheard, so they were forced to pursue the matter that could have broken the chain of custody of documents which, by law, must be stored in the local police office.

SAN JAVIER LIFEBOAT RESCUES STRAY HORSE The Civil Defence lifeboat was launched in San Javier at the weekend where it was called into action to carry out the rescue of a lost and exhausted horse. How the horse had got into such difficulty is unknown but it would appear to have dislodged its rider on the Mar Menor beach before bolting into the sea. After the emergency services had received a distress call from the former rider the lifeboat Albufera was launched from, San Javie. The rider was able to join the vessel, following which the search for the animal took a further 15 minutes. This is the very first tiime that the Albufera lifeboat had been launched for such an emergency with the crew and the owner all

delighted that they were able to report a happy outcome. When they were eventually able to get alongside the horse they lassoed him to the side of the boat and were able to slowly tow him inshore. To the astonishment of passers by he was eventually landed, albeit completely exhausted, but not otherwise the worse for wear, on Los Narejos beach.

HISTORY AND SPY CONCERNS LEAD THE SPANISH NEWS THIS WEEK Secretary of State for the EU in Spain, Iñigo Méndez de Vigo, reported “concern” to the U.S. ambassador in Madrid, James Costs, for allegedly spying on people in Spain, practices that , if true, would be “improper and unacceptable among partners and friendly countries”. Meetings were held to clarify both sides of the situation, with the Americans promising not to spy on allies in the future. The President of the Government, Mariano Rajoy, appeared before congress on Wednesday to explain the decision to open proceedings on the alleged espionage and spying by U.S. intelligence services in Spain. Technicians who have been inspecting the floor of Congress during the last month have located eight new bullets believe d to have been fired during the attempted coup of February the 23rd, 1981, but have also identified anomalies in the records relating to the catalogues of data. The PSOE have registered their intention with Congress to propose the exhumation of the remains of bodies which are entombed at Francisco Franco's Valley of the Fallen and deliver them to the families of those who have relatives there, or move them to “the most appropriate place”, which also includes an initiative to relocate the remains of José Antonio Primo de Rivera, the 1st Duke of Primo de Rivera, 3rd Marquis of Estella, Grandee of Spain from April, 1903 until November, 1936, who was a Spanish lawyer, nobleman, politician, and founder of the Falange Española, who was executed by the Spanish republican government during the course of the Spanish Civil War.

The Full Criminal Chamber of the National Court has confirmed their interpretation of the Strasbourg ruling on the socalled Parot doctrine, is applicable to other ETA prisoners in the same situation. Meanwhile, the secretary general of the PP, María Dolores de Cospedal , stressed today that once implemented, a permanent reform of the Penal Code could be retrospectively implemented, which may include a future clause that “no court outside will distort or apply differently Spanish criminal law”, thus allowing Spain to once again incarcerate ETA terrorists and other prisoners released under the ruling by the European Court of Human Rights. The full Congress accepted a debate on a bill proposed by the PSOE, which aims to clamp down on political corruption, in order to strengthen the prosecution of those found to have been in abuse of power.

A year after the tragedy, the judicial investigation to clarify the circumstances of the death of five youths in a Halloween party at the Madrid Arena on November 1 came to an end. Now the judiciary will decide on the next and appropriate course of action for those found responsible for a situation that resulted in the tragic deaths of party goers. Police presence and inspections have intensified after the tragedy, for which a special police unit has been created.

The General Committee of the Autonomous Communities met this week for the first time in this period in order to study the regional impact of educational reform in a debate in which they can participate, without voting.

CRIME AND CORRUPTION FROM POLITICS TO MUSHROOMS The judge presiding over the now infamous Gürtel case, Pablo Ruz, has imposed a bond of 8 million euro for Ángel Sanchís, former treasurer to the Alianza Popular, in respect to a possible sentence for helping launder money on behalf of former treasurer of the Partido Popular, Luis Bárcenas. The Financial office in Madrid has asked the judge to dismiss research on the destruction of the hard drives of the two computers found at the party headquarters and believed to hold data which may shed light on the dealings of Luis Bárcenas, as they say that the destruction of these items are not constituent of any crime. The defence of the president of the Diputación de Castellón , Carlos Fabra, concluded their case at the trial that experts from the Tax Agency have declared as “contaminated”, and have made a “parallel trial” in opposition to the request for acquittal.

Officers from the Guardia Civil have arrested 48 people in four days, who were all caught picking mushrooms in the Palencia area, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Those arrested have come from various different provinces, including Alicante, and were arrested on suspicion of stealing parkland mushrooms, an activity conducted without any kind of license, with commercial assumptions. The arrests followed numerous complaints from other people concerned about the damage being caused to the area, as well as hindering the official and authorised collections. A man, identified as José Miguel BV, who was arrested for allegedly killing his pregnant partner, identified as Carolina DCC, in Cifuentes, Guadalajara, has confessed to having thrown the limbs and head of the victim so that their dogs would eat the remains, whilst her torso was buried in a warehouse at their property.

TOPPING THE CHARTS IN MONTESINOS By Andrew Atkinson IRISH pop star Eddie White - who performed at The Royal Albert Hall, London, nearly four decades ago - is enjoying retirement in Spain. "Life's great - living in Spain," said Eddie from Los Montesinos, Alicante. Eddie - who featured alongside Elvis, The Beatles and The Who in a 60s Music Annual topped the pop charts in Ireland. "We topped the Irish charts with 'Dear God' for 13 weeks", reflected Eddie. Eddie, 65, was formerly a member of bands The Breakaways as a teenager - and was featured in the New Spotlight Annual 1967, alongside Elvis, The Beatles and The Who. "I remember it all too well when joining my first group The Breakaways aged 16, " said Eddie, who was born in Magherafelt, in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. "Having joined The Breakaways in the early sixties the Band was then re-formed and named 'The Signs'," said

Eddie's top of the Irish charts hit 'Dear God' came when he was a member of Hugo Duncan and The Tallmen: "Other hits included 'Three Leaf Shamrock'," recalled Eddie. "The boys formed another group 'Mighty Avons', fronted by Brendan Quinn, featuring members of The Breakaways and Hugo Duncan and The Tallmen," said Eddie. "Mighty Avons was managed by one of the original Larry Cunningham and Mighty Avons, Jimmy Smith," said Eddie.

Don’t Complain! This is Spain! How many times have you heard members of the expat community living in Spain in general or here on Orihuela Costa in particular utter the above words? I am sure it has been more times than can be counted! Many international residents who have chosen to make their home along the Costas feel that if they voice their dissatisfactions about the lack of basic services on offer in their particular area of residence that this is being disrespectful to their host country of Spain. What many people fail to recognise is that it is only by complaining, advocating and highlighting issues that any changes are ever made by politicians, and this is especially true about local politics. Irrespective of where people live there are always things that the local community wants and needs. Things may be as basic as a patrolled crossing near the local school to the more costly provision of essential infrastructure such as a brick built school or the building of an Emergency Services Centre. It doesn’t matter what facility or service a local area wants it will inevitably incur a cost that has to be paid out of local rates and taxes. Invariably every locality within a larger municipal authority will feel that their needs are greater or more important than the needs of another district within the same

local authority! All residents, irrespective of nationality want access to the same quality of services enjoyed by other people living in the same municipal area. Further, many people will feel discriminated against if residents from an adjacent local government area have better facilities and services than their own local authority provide. How an area makes their needs known is through complaining, often using local newspapers, local radio and television to highlight the importance of the issue and gaining more public awareness. Local residents will also advocate for a particular service or provision, pointing out that this service is generally available in other parts of the municipality and that their particular area is being disadvantaged by not having access to the same types of facilities that are enjoyed by other ratepayers. Often in a democracy local residents will present petitions showing the strength of feelings people have about particular issues, for example building on the last piece of undeveloped land on the coast such as Cala Mosca. People need to realise that criticising the poor level of local services provided on Orihuela Costa is not a criticism of Spain. Orihuela Costa is not typical of Spanish towns and villages; it lacks all the basic services that are taken for

granted by Spanish nationals. Spanish people living on Orihuela Costa state that they are disgusted by the blatant discrimination shown by Orihuela City Councillors towards the coast. Spanish people welcome the interest shown by international immigrants in advocating for essential services that can be enjoyed by all Orihuela Costa residents. Orihuela Costa will only be treated fairly if it elects a sufficient number of councillors who live on the coast and who will listen to the real concerns of all coastal residents. Ensure that you are registered to vote and use your vote. Local

Government spending has the most important influence on your enjoyment and the quality of your life in Spain. Complain! Complain. You have rights in Spain! Sandpiper The population of Orihuela Costa need to ensure their voice is heard and the only way to achieve this is to ensure that residents are on the padron and the electoral register and they vote in local elections.

ORIHUEL A AND THE COST A NEWS R OUNDUP The Councillor for International Residents at L'Alfas del Pi, Genoveva Tent, visited Orihuela this week in order to get to know how the recent addition of “tourist routes” around the historic monuments of the city has been so successful, with a view of transposing the model to encourage tourism within the town of L'Alfas, which also has a large number of foreign residents, especially Norwegians.

expired, so they are unable to put the plots out to public tender, but there is still no sign of an agreement being reached between the political groups to even discuss the new regulations, as many of those affected are now criticizing the PP for “playing games” for political gain, and not allowing the government team to implement the necessary regulation. Manuel Gallud, the councillor responsible for the department, has vowed to do everything possible to ensures that the “hundreds of families” waiting for the adoption of a new regulations that allows the City to award new places in the various outlets, and therefore create jobs, will continue, describing the PP as “irresponsible” for rejecting the Ordinance.

for his work he was a hero of the people and the fighters and wrote for them, his legacy which is still recognised around much of the local area. On Wednesday, a guided walk began in the Plaza Marqués de Rafal, where Miguel Hernández read a speech on April the 14th, 1936, passing through various key sites along this historic route.

The Department of the Coast, Beaches and International Residents, led by Martina Scheurer, has now lowered the pavements at 40 crossings along the coastal roads, to make them accessible to people with reduced mobility and thus adapt them to accessibility standards. “Our goal is to continue working this winter on the installation of handrails on the stairs to the beach”, said Scheurer, who believes that the town hall are “addressing the most urgent demands of the neighbours”. The councillor for town planning in Orihuela, Antonio Zapata, has announced that the way has finally been paved to potentially allow for the legalisation of properties within the municipality that do not comply with planning legislation. The announcement was made based around a particular case of some 20 homes built on land which was not classed as for the purpose of housing, by a builder who “defrauded buyers and is a fugitive from justice”. The regulation in this case will allow the owners to undertake the necessary work, but an agreement has also been made to keep the costs to a minimum, of between 8,000 and 10,000 euro. Much to the disappointment of new market traders keen to obtain one of the vacant plots in the markets of Orihuela and the coast, for the third time, proposed plans to adopt new regulations have been rejected by the opposition, the majority PP group. The councillor for markets has explained that the previous rules have

Work has begun on removing 15 of the 37 speed bumps situated on the CV- 915 road between Beniel and Desamparados, for a contract awarded in September to the CHM Obras e Infraestructuras, SA, with a budget of 25,903.68 euro, after their successful bid out of the six businesses that applied for the work. The councillor responsible, Emilio Zaplana , explained that as a “CV” road, the ownership is of the Valencia Community, so special authorisation had to be achieved in order to carry out the work on a road which carries an abundance of agricultural machinery, and so the “bumps” both hinder the natural flow of traffic, as well as slowing down emergency service vehicles who may be responding to incidents. Celebrations took place around Orihuela this week, marking what would have been the 103rd birthday of Miguel Hernández, a famed poet and playwright from Orihuela who was given the death sentence during the civil war, only to die from an illness, but famed

The Employment Development Department has organized a course for unemployed members of the municipality, with a focus on “Customer service in the tourism sector in the area of “Orihuela”. IN collaboration with the tourism department, the course will be operating from the 4th of November, providing 50 hours of training in which students will acquire the knowledge necessary to prepare sightseeing tours, communication skills and customer service standards as well as being able to describe all the sites of touristic, cultural and heritage interest within Orihuela. The Bishop of Orihuela has told the government team that they will not require tour guides for two of their facilities, the churches of Santa Justa and Santiago as well as the Museo de la Semana Santa. This has been seen as a disappointment, according to government spokesperson, Antonia Moreno, who also says that they will still continue to provide guides in other religious buildings in the city.

BY NICK IRELAND Caterham Cars has opened the order book for the Seven 160; its new entry-level variant of the iconic sportscar, powered by a super-compact, turbocharged Suzuki engine. Priced from £14,995 in component form, the car’s live-axle rear suspension, compact engine and low weight embody the pioneering spirit of early Sevens and represent a new entry-point to the Seven range. The Seven 160: EU customers will get an altered version, called 165 that produces 80hp from its 660cc, three-cylinder, turbocharged engine, enabling it to accelerate to 60mph in a brisk 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 100mph. With fleet-of-foot charm and handling finesse, rather than outright performance dictating the driving experience, the new car redefines the budget sportscar segment while introducing new levels of efficiency and value for money to the Caterham range. Caterham Cars CEO, Graham Macdonald, said: “As the Caterham Group as a whole grows and expands into new sectors and industries, our commitment to keep evolving the Seven is very much alive. The 160 offers something truly different to the entry-level market. It’s more economical, more accessible and every bit as fun on the road as other Sevens but has its own unique personality.” To meet the desired performance criteria, the Caterham Group’s engineering consultancy, Caterham Technology & Innovation (CTI), fine-tuned engine performance from its standard output of 64hp to 80hp, while boosting fuel economy and reducing vehicle emissions. Macdonald continued: “The engineering challenges we faced when developing the new vehicle were significant. The engine, suspension and the overall dynamics all needed to work in harmony and the various arms of the Group have been successful in pooling facilities and expertise to achieve that.” The number five at the end of the EU spec car’s moniker signifies that the vehicle complies with the EU5 emissions standards, allowing it to be sold across mainland Europe and beyond. Production of the Caterham Seven 160 and 165 is expected to begin in January 2014, with first deliveries later that Spring. Priced from £14,995 or 17,995 fully built.

‘Twitters from the Atlantic’ By Bar rie Mahoney Barrie Mahoney was a head teacher and school inspector in the UK, as well as a reporter in Spain, before moving to the Canary Islands to launch and edit a new English language newspaper. He enjoys life in the sun as a columnist and author, and continues to write a series of popular novels, books for expats, as well as designing mobile apps and websites to promote the Canary Islands.

The Music Bus

I have recently taken to travelling more frequently by bus on the island, particularly if I wish to visit our capital centre, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. I dislike negotiating the ever changing one-way streets in the city, which we often forget is the seventh largest city in Spain, or trying to find a car park that is invariably full or horrendously expensive. I have also had my fair share of parking fines, as well as recently being ‘ticked off’ by a very kind, young policeman who met me heading the wrong way up a one-way street. In my defence, the direction of this one-way street had once again recently been changed, and no one had bothered to tell me about it. He was a very nice young man, and after I had explained that I was a confused Brit, he put his handcuffs back on his belt and sent me merrily on my way to my favourite department store. Nowadays, I have come to the conclusion that I would much prefer to negotiate the streets of central London; it would be so much easier. Another reason that I like travelling by bus is that it is such a social occasion in Gran Canaria. One of my hobbies is people watching, and I can sit in a bar for hours observing human nature and imagining appropriate scenarios for them, which may appear in the novel that I happen to be writing at the time. The bus is a natural extension of this curious interest as, believe me, Canarian buses are filled with some of the most gregarious, happy and friendly people that you would ever wish to meet. These people do not need alcohol or drugs to have a good time; it just seems to come naturally to them. Last week, my partner and I returned from Las Palmas after a shop-

ping trip in the city. The bus service on the island is excellent, and the bus was already waiting to leave by the time that we got on board. The bus driver was a chirpy soul; I guess in his late thirties. I could tell at once that he was a man who actually liked people, which, if you think about it, is often a rare quality nowadays, particularly in any service industry. He had a cheeky banter with each passenger as they entered his domain, and we also received a few words of welcoming Spanish. He grinned at my feeble effort to make a small joke in Spanish, but I felt that he was appreciative of the effort that I had made. It was just after we left the bus station that the fun, or should I say music, began. Fernando, as we all quickly discovered after his announcement, suddenly surprised us with a CD recording of a piano recital of music from musical shows, as well as other popular classics. This was not the usual sound of a badly tuned radio, broadcasting football, news or the latest chart busters, but a full concert performance, with the sound turned on full volume throughout the bus. Was it pure coincidence that we found ourselves listening to the merry tinkling of “I did it my way” as we passed the mortuary, I wondered? On our one-hour journey home, we were regaled with music ranging from Abba, Phantom of the Opera to the Beatles. It was just after one of the Abba melodies, that there was a huge cheer and applause from the passengers, with many singing along loudly to the music. It was amusing to watch the faces of some of the young hoodies that appeared on board from time to time, and to watch their expressions when they suddenly realised that they were going to be forced to listen to “uncool” music for the full length of their journey. Some young rebels gathered together at the back of the bus, desperately trying to initiate a campaign to overcome the piano music with rap or the latest Canarian music from the feeble speakers of their mobile phones. Sadly, they would have needed a 70s ‘ghetto blaster’ to overcome Fernando’s special musical treat for his passengers. At one point, one of Fernando’s colleagues got on the bus, which I

assume was for a lift back to the bus depot. He too joined in with the merriment, but also added energetic hand actions and foot tapping. Our driver enthusiastically accompanied the music with improvised percussion, created by tapping the hollow part his ticket machine. At one point I thought they would be giving out YMCA hats to all the passengers, so that we could all join in. We were actually rather sad to finally reach our destination. We left the bus still humming some of the tunes that we had been forced to listen to during our late afternoon of Fernando’s musical entertainment. It may not have been our choice of music, but it certainly brought a smile to our faces, as well as the other passengers. Was this a one off? Well, I am led to believe that Fernando has a special reputation for his music bus, which has become an institution on this particular bus route. Sadly, I cannot see it being popular on London Transport buses. I am sure that there are some health and safety or licensing rules against it, but this is Gran Canaria!

BIKES OUTSELLING CARS ACROSS EUROPE Although the car sales industry may have suffered through the financial crisis, one factor that may not have been noticed until now i show other modes of transport are starting to grow. As the world gets busier and transport links start to slow down by the volume of vehicles they carry, combined with the more eco-friendly and perhaps frugal attitudes of the modern commuter, there is a trend that is sweeping Europe, with the exception of Belgium and Luxembourg, where bicycles are outselling cars. Much as a lot of other sectors, the car industry is showing signs of recovery, but the figures for bikes show even more promising results, according to the latest data releases which combines Europe wide information from across both sectors.

Germany led the way in car sales in 2012, with a total of 3,083,000 cars sold, but that was overshadowed by the number of pushbikes, with a total of 3,966,000 finding new owners. A not dissimilar picture occurred in the UK, number 2 in the European sales chart, where 2,045,000 cars were sold, compared to 3,600,000 bikes. Spain is lagging behind in both cars and bikes, reaching number 5 in the charts, behind Italy and France, but Spanish road users still bought 700,000 cars and 780,000 bikes, still maintaining the trend. However, in other countries, the difference is even more staggering. Take Lithuania for example, where just 12,000 cars were sold in 2012, whereas their bike sales showed a massive difference of 115,000 units. Greek car buyers purchased 58,000 cars, but a staggering 320,000 bikes, similar to

ECO-TAXIS LEAD THE WAY

If you happen to be visiting Valencia this winter, perhaps for a Christmas break or just a day trip, you ought to keep a sharp eye open to a new taxi that can be found cruising through the city streets. Called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eco-Taxiâ&#x20AC;?, the concept goes way beyond a simple, environmentally aware driver. Although, as the name suggests, the taxi fleet are indeed environmentally friendly, consisting of hybrid vehicles, some using gas or other alternative energy, with the Toyota Prius and the Auris being the most popular, the level of service and facilities provided to the passenger goes way beyond that. As the driver greets each passenger with a personal introduction, you are welcomed into the vehicle, which is not only air conditioned, but is also fitted with an ionizer to purify the air inside. The techno friendly will also be pleased to know that the vehicles also come with Wi-Fi connections and even a mobile phone, so you can surf as you travel in the hands of your professional driver. Standards of quality are amongst the most important key factors to this new and almost futuristic level of service, with every Ecotaxi partner required to maintain their vehicle in perfect condition inside and out, making sure that the vehicle is cleaning, and that the bodywork is without bumps or scratches. The drivers themselves have also dictated their own ethos with which to maintain decorum at all times, actively avoiding confrontation of any kind, to ensure the most peaceful journey possible. The brainchild of an association of taxi drivers, promoted by a former councillor and entrepreneur Juan Carlos Gimeno, the group currently has 50 vehicles operating through Valencia, complete with the rather obvious branding on the cars, and is all set to make waves across Spain, as the 31st of October is the official launch date for a concept that could well change the future of taxi travel, or may just fall as yet another whim, but let us hope that with the dedication of those behind the scheme that they will provide a positive pollutant to convert the lesser friendly taxi driver and encourage a future of service and quality.

Romania, where 72,000 cars were sold, compared to 380,000 bikes. But quite why this is the case could be attributed to any number of individual conditions and factors, from frugality to health, economy to eco-friendly, either way, the fact that more people are taking to two wheels can only be of benefit to the environment, although it does also beg the obvious question, as has been discussed in depth her in Spain of late, the interaction between cars and bikes and the safety of all road users.

180s: Joe Miller (Hyenas), Derek Kingsbury, Patrick Abrams, Paul Durrant (Meerkats), Sid Cross (Hattons Hunks), Mark Filer (Busters) Highest finish: Alex Nikolov (Meerkats) 141 Meerkats were a little lack lustre this week, when they visited Madigans, their old hunting ground where they won so many titles. After being greeted by the effervescent, ever smiling Leah Chesworth and Karl Cooper, Madigans proprietors, the Kats got down to the job of winning the match. Earlier seasons scores didn’t seem to materialise as easy as you would expect, but doubles did and the Kats found themselves 5 legs up with no reply. George Caine and Ron Young for the hosts found themselves in the tons department as did Alex Nikolov 2x100 and Lee Maiden. Graham Todd did most of the damage for the Kats, finishing the team game on D9, the triples on D18,D2 (D18 for D20, come on Graham) and D8 in the pairs. Pete James took on an in form Lee Maiden, last week´s player of the week and promptly dumped the current star on D11 for a 1-5 score line at half time. Fully

refreshed and totally full after some excellent midway refreshments, courtesy of Leah´s mum Gill, Nikolov battered the treble 20 including a 140 against Caine and finished off D13 for at least the draw. Karl Cooper looked impressive finishing on D8 to pull one back for Madigans. Pat Abrams featured next for the Kats against an ever youthful Ron Young and despite being totally void of any three figure scores this week managed D8 for the match. Pete James faced the night´s double king Todd and with reputation meaningless to the big man hit a ton and S19,D15 to take the third and last leg for the home side. Lee Maiden and John Eyre took the remaining two legs against Chesworth and Steve Cox respectively. The Hub had the pleasure of the Pirates company and gave them a night to remember by taking all 12 legs and ensuring the Pirates remain at the bottom of the table. Some spirited scoring from Phil Batt´s side wasn’t enough as the Hyenas continue their unbeaten run. Even when the opportunity arose the visitors were unable to take out any doubles, unlike Hyena Andy Brooker who converted every double in each of his four matches, an unusual but invaluable feat. Shaun Smith once again proved his worth by being given the Hyenas man of the match accolade by captain Simon Williams with 1x100, 2x140, numerous 80 pluses and 2 game shots. Cyril Harrison won the match on a 70 out, to keep in touch with the leaders. It will be a free week next week as PBs receive a bye in the KO cup, an opportunity for the Westons and Lanes to sharpen up their arrows before taking on two of the top three and the current champions Gogarty´s in their next three league outings. Come on the Pirates. After last week´s triumph over Que Pasa, Gogarty´s came back down to earth with a bump when second place Busters made the journey from Playa Flamenca to La Zenia this week. No match winner Kevin Prockter for Gogarty´s this week, but 3 apiece at half time was no disgrace against the high flying Busters. Skipper Gail Todd took out D9 in the team game after trailing by 200 plus points. The next three went to the visitors through some devastating throwing in the first triple by Mark Filer. A 125, 140 and 126 to leave 47 was not his only contribution in this leg as his two team mates failed to convert leaving the big man to take out the remaining 32 points on D16. Great darts! Irene Russell made it 1-2 on D5. The first pairs continued the high scoring, Filer hitting a 140, Shirley Roberts 95 with Todd 95. Both pairs were left the double but it was Filer who got there first on D8 for 1-3. Paul Dowinton and Babs Warren 100 featured next, anticipating extending the visitors lead, but new signing Karen McGill who obviously takes Halloween very seriously by dressing up in the full regalia of “Wicked Witch” and Ernie Wilson who is still frightening without make up had other ideas, Wilson taking out D19. Elaine Willis D11

made it all square at half time. Was it the bat stew or a Busters ancient spell, because Gogarty´s didn’t add a single leg to their 3 gained at the break. Dowinton and Todd squared up first, both reaching the double together after some pretty reasonable scoring, but it was the Buster who converted D8 for the lead. Cynthia Jevons followed for Gogarty´s hitting 132,87 and 75 against Will Drummond who replied with 3x80+ scores and D5 for 3-5. Peter O´Rourke ensured the draw on D2 to leave Mark Filer to win the match on D5 against Ernie Wilson who nevertheless matched Filer´s high scoring, but didn’t get the opportunity of a throw at the finishing double. Warren D5 and Roberts D5 finished the remaining two legs and all 6 singles. Spare a thought for Busters popular landlord Paul Hallett who is currently laid out flat with a serious back problem. Wife Julie is administering daily bed baths, which seems to be prolonging the problem somehow. Get well soon Paul. Down at Hattons bar, the derby match ended with the Hunks coming out on top despite some good scoring from Ray Green of Honeys. A rejuvenated Stewart McCulloch, recently back from a restful break in Benidorm was nominated man of the match and will be returning to Benidorm to celebrate. As this week´s league programme has been affected by Halloween celebrations Exite Radio´s merit tables for this week will be assessed when the 31st October matches are completed.

The highest scorer of the day was Vicente Ferrer – Don Cayo G S, with a whopping 41 points but it was not enough to take the points even in their match as the pairing from Paddy’s Point amassed a joint 74 points, three more than their opposition.

The other La Manga team North fell short by a solitary point to miss out on the bonus in a draw against Las Ramblas. Club25 Serena had to push hard against lowly Rockets succeeding but fell short on a maximum drawing in one match but it was enough to take them to the top of the table and it also gave Rockets their first point. It was good to see the fairer sex doing well with five scoring in excess of 30 points........ RESULTS: La Manga RGA GS 4 (233) EuroToffs GS 0 (190) Rockets GS 0.5 (226) Club25 Serena GS 3.5 (248) Paddy’s Point GS 1 (263) Don Cayo GS 3 (247)

CLARKES BAR G. S. On a somewhat cool and blustery morning we made our way to the relatively new course at Corvera for our weekly stableford competition. As usual the greens were in excellent condition and well grassed but quick which took a little getting used to. The fairways were dry and dusty with bare patches in places but this did not detract too much from the standard of golf played with 1 or 2 notable exceptions. The scoring as usual was higher than on most other courses and the results were as follows: Nearest the pin on hole 8 was Bernard Ball Nearest the pin on hole 15 was Charlie Rodgers Nearest the pin on hole 10 in 2 was Tommy Clarke Longest drive on hole 14 was Brian Murphy (an excellent shot into the wind) Winner with 41 points and a new handicap was Bernard Ball Runner up on count back (better back 9) was Tommy Clarke just beating Rob Cowley Next Week we are at Peraleja for our Poppy Day Appeal meeting sponsored by Mick the Grip.

ROCKETS GOLF SOCIETY AT ALENDA It was a return visit this year, and our October away day, to the delightful Alenda Golf, as always the course receives a lot of TLC and it shows in its immaculate condition, the greens were, for some, a joy to putt on, but not as fast as they sometimes are. Well done Jorge! who is the course superintendent. The competition was a Medal-Ford which as the word says we play a Medal on the front nine, Stableford on the back nine, take half the handicap off the Medal score, then take the Stableford points scored off the nett Medal points. Easy if you know how!! Just think of the players who have tpo score the cards!! We had a very depleted number of players today with 5 No Shows. Not very nice! when you go to see the Caddy-master, when you have booked for a larger number of players. Still the ones that played had a very good game with the scoring being very good.

This week, 30th October, we had the pleasure of our friends from Javea Green making the long journey from the north. After the storm the previous night, one wondered if we would be playing at all, but, as always, the good Old Spanish sunshine shone, and the battle commenced. It was a tense, close start to all the games, but San Miguel eventually pulled in front, winning on four rinks and losing on one plus gaining the aggregate, to give a winning score of 10 - 2, so well done to all! The Berleen had a sparkling come back after being 18 shots to 1 down after 9 ends, but fought back to lose in the end by only 5 shots, a remarkable comeback on our unruly rink one. Also, a friendly trips was played on our, also unruly rink seven. After 7 ends Drew's trip was one shot in front, but Lee's team then surged ahead to win by shots. Thank you again to these winter league squad members participating. SOUTHERN LEAGUE JAGUARS PLAYED AWAY TO HORADADA ROYALS We had a very good win this being our first, hope it is the start of things to come winning on 3 rinks and drawing on 1, Points 9-5.

GREENLANDS BOWLS CLUB SPONSORED BY TOTUS AND DRAGON INSURANCE It's difficult to know where to start this week roundup, for 3 of our sides pulled off excellent results last week.

QUESADA BOWLS CLUB The Winter League got off to a shaky start with the first two games; however, a good win 12-0 against Bonalba last week and 10-2 this week against La Siesta has shown a great improvement. The SABA Pearls team got off to a great start winning 10-4 at Emerald Isle and 10-4 against San Luis Trekkers at home and currently top the League, but there is a long way to go! This week the Diamonds were at home to the San Luis Vulcan’s and took all the points winning 12-0. In the Southern League the Swifts have strated off very well with two good wins and are currently holding the top position in Div. C. Congratulations go to John Watson, Maggie McLune and Colin Highland for getting a hot shot in the latest game. Last Friday the Federated Lions team travelled to Almeria for the National Final of the King’s Cup League. Unfortunately a team from the Costa del Sol did not participate and so the Final took place

between the Lions, Costa Blanca Champions and Indalo, Almeria Champions. who had the advantage of playing on their home green. Well done to Deidre Leeming on winning the Ladies Singles and the fours of William Holtham, Pearl Houghton, John Muldoon and skip Bill Pain for their impressive win. Unfortunately it was not Pete Bonsor’s day in the men’s singles. Despite some very good bowling from Veronica and Derek Sale in the pairs and Ruth and Nick Birch and Derek Toozer in the triples, we were unable to get another two points we needed to win, so Indalo retain the trophy which was present by John Muldoon.Last but not least, congratulations to John Muldoon, who at the recent European Championships was elected Junior Vice president of the European Bowls Union – well done John.

EMERALD ISLE BOWLS CLUB Our first very local derby on Friday, 25 October, saw the Claymores play host to EI Outlaws and despite a brilliant win on rink 5 - 33 shots to 9 - and three winning rinks each, the Outlaws sneaked home on shot difference of 112 to 110 giving them 8 points to the Claymores 6. Friday morning also saw the Cavaliers play La Manga, achieving a magnificent win for the home team who lost on just one rink. The overall shot difference tells it's own story - 149 shots to 57, 12 points to La Manga's 2. On Saturday 26th, starting at 10am EI played a selected England Team. A very enjoyable game with the England team coming out on top with 4 winning rinks to 2. However, EI had 2 excellent wins from Jim Mulloy, Glenda O'Dell, John Zeller & Dave Close, 23-10 and Frank King, Bill Allen, Chris Ayling & Barbara Collins winning 25-13 with Barbara having a particularly brilliant game. On Monday, 28 October, EI Moonrakers made the journey to Monte Mar to play the Toreadors on yet

By Bill Allen another beautiful day. With 3 winning rinks each, the shot difference was 115 to 108, giving us 8 points to the Toreadors 6. A really good game and good result for the Moonrakers. Also on 28th October, the Titans second game of the season resulted in another loss, going down 2 12 to Greenlands Maples with a shot difference of 93 -112. Mel Odell, Reg Fooks & John Zeller were the only winning rink, keeping their 100% record over the first 2 games. There were some close games on three other rinks with Ed Shepherd, Peter Willicott & Jo Close losing by 1 shot. Jo Close is new to playing in the league teams but she put in an impressive performance at lead which bodes well for the future. Bill Hawthorne, Barbara Eldred and John Jarvis produced another close affair, going down by only 2 shots. Jim Mulloy, Glenda Odell & Chris Ayling lost by 3 shots. The remaining 2 rinks lost 11-16 and 11- 21 so overall, with a bit of luck, we could have had a better result. Still propping up the league, the only way is up.

HORADADA BOWLS CLUB Week 2 of the season started with an away CBBA fixture at Monte Mar which is always a difficult game,not due to their excellent green but to the quality of their players.However Horadada excelled themselves coming away with a 104 shot to 97 shot victory and a points total of 8.It could had been even better as two of our rinks lost very narrowly.The rink led by Tony Burchall lost a 2 on the last end to lose by 1 and Mike Douglas’s rink lost by 2 shots. Congratulations to our winning rinks of Yvonne Hurlock,John Simpson and John Hurlock 21 – 12,John Wilson, Peter Hinds and Mick Blunt 25 – 16 and Bryan Eatough,Dave Rogers and Terry Hucknall 20 –11.A great days bowling in lovely conditions and in good company. Monday gave us a home fixture against San Miguel Comets when we drew the game 94 – 94 but won on 4 rinks to give us a total of 9 points.Again it could have been better as one of our rinks again lost it on the last end having gone in to this end at at the

by Barry Evans score of 13 – 13.Our winning rinks were Sandra Simpson,Roy Thompson and John Simpson 18 – 12,Tony Burchall,Fred Trigwell and Peter Hinds 19 – 14,Bryan Eatough,Ian Gillan and Terry Hucknall 19 – 9 and Alan Russell,Roy Collins and Mike Douglas 16 – 14.Also congratulations to our friendly rink of Marion Rosamund,John Wilson and Alan Pugh who won 35 – 7. So a good weeks work but we do need to get the balance of our rinks correct as one rink going down by a big margin could well cost us the game in future.But well done everyone and keep up the good work. Horadada Bows Club is located at the sports centre at Pilar De La Horadada and is always looking for new members.We run open role up days on Tuesday,Thursday and Sunday and all are welcome irrespective whether they are experienced bowlers or beginners.For further information please call our President Roy Thompson on 966746915 or our Secretary Bill Stanaway on 966769026.

The winning rinks belonged to Derek Gunning, Joel Fernandez & Karen Kirk 19-12 and Lynne Bishop, John Palmer & Dave Chaplin winning 23-19, well done both teams, the overall shots were, Supernovas 99 (4) - 139 (10) Southern league Ramblers hosted the Monte Mar Matadors in a very tough game on Friday. Most games were very tight and could have gone either way, so I consider the out come of the final result was about right. The Ramblers won three rinks, drew another one but lost the long game to the Matadors, well done to both sides for a very competitive mornings bowling. StJohn Broadhurst, Sue & Barry Norris 28-23.

With Lynne Bishop Jenny Chaplin, Charlie Watkins & Ken Cuthbert 16-13. Lynne Bishop, Geoff Paylor & Eric Bishop 18-17. Overall shots were Ramblers 100 (7) - 109 (7) Matadors.

ELCHE DRAWING ALONG NICELY BY JOHN MCGREGOR

ATHLETIC BILBAO ..2 ELCHE CF .........................2

The good news is that Elche are going along well, now back up in the rarefied atmosphere of La Liga where they last breathed the exciting air 24 years ago. Following last week’s disappointing 0 – 1 home defeat by old foes Granada, the Illicitanos’ travelled the length of Spain to take on one of Spain’s oldest clubs in the Basque Country, the mighty Athletic Bilbao who are right up there in sixth place, a daunting task for most clubs. In many ways this draw was also a disappointing result like Granada, but for different reasons because Elche actually led 2 – 0 at half time. Cisma returned after suspension at left back, normal first-choice Edu Albacar is still out injured. Carlos ‘The Rock’ Sanchez was back to strengthen the midfield with Ruben Perez, and with Boakye not recovered from his injuries sustained in the final minutes against Granada, Aaron started the match for the first time, his previous experiences have always been as substitute. Elche began well, and with only nine minutes gone the Illicitanos’ were ahead. Damian Suarez’s inswinging corner was firmly headed in by centre-back David Lomban, his first for the club since his closeseason move from Barcelona ‘B’. Elche were playing well, and Aaron’s quick cross shot grazed the bar, but it stayed 0 – 1 at half time. For the noisily-supported visitors things got even better only two minutes into the second half: Coro lost the ball on the edge of the area, but the ball ran loose to Aaron, and swivelling onto the ball coolly slotted the ball into the far corner for his first this season also, and with Elche two nil up and seemingly in control it all looked good from the Franjiverdes. The home team immediately responded by pressing Elche hard and soon found the net, A deep cross from the left eluded everyone except the right winger Susaeta who almost from the by line hit

the ball first time at an acute angle to crash it past Herrera in the Elche goal and pull Athletico back into the game. Another exciting quarter of an hour passed with chances at either end before with 20 actionpacked minutes to go Aduriz crashed in his headed equalizer from a corner in an almost carbon copy of Elche’s first. As expected coach Fran Escriba rang the Elche changes to both consolidate the draw and possibly steal the winner. On came Javi Marquez for Fidel, Mantecon for Aaron and finally Manu del Moral for never-stop-running Coro. But a draw was a fair result and one which marks vital progress for Elche, to keep them in the respectable mid-table position of tenth with thirteen points after eleven games. Tonight, Monday 4th November at 10pm Elche take on Villarreal, who are in scary fourth place in La Liga on 20 points behind Barcelona, Athletico and Real Madrid respectively. The clubs have met in recent years in the Segunda League and the results have always been close, but the Illicitanos are in good shape and no-one has yet played them off the park. Today’s Elche have grit as well as ability, and what looks like a good team spirit. A win tonight against a team like Villarreal would be a tremendous boost: exciting home games such as against the mighty Real Madrid and Valladollid have shown the Franjiverdes need fear no-one, and as the new players steadily blend with the old the results are slowly but surely improving. There is much to be optimistic about in the City of Palme. Mucho Elche!

CARRASCO STRIKES AS TORRY ADVANCE CF CULLERA.................0 FC TORREVIEJA.........1

CF Mil Palmeras Alevines Rojales 2 - 5 CF Mil Palmeras Sponsored by Talleras J Martinez Ford Garage

The first match of the season can be a bit of a nervous affair but this years oldest Toros started with a bang putting away 3 goals in the first 7 mins .... Luke Naylor put away Bens Naylors cross in the second minute closely followed by Aron Bengs lob beating the keeper and then Luke finishing again to make to take control of the match .The Toros defense of Neve Bradley ,Oliver Godden ,Aron Being and Milly Ewart stood strong and smoothed Rojales attack giving Luca Webb in goal plenty of support . The Toros defence and midfield linked together well and at times played some sublime football .Alex Hawkes cross caught the Keeper out to make it 0 - 4 .Gary Barret

Last Friday may have been day of the dead, but it was certainly the day that Torry's defence came alive. Having conceded a massive 13 goals on the road, whilst not keeping a clean sheet, they stood firm against a Cullera side that had previously proved unbeatable at home. Torry now occupy the last of the play off slots, and with runaway div 3 leaders Eldense visiting Vicente Garcia on Sun 10 Nov, ko 5pm, they must fancy their chances of adding another scalp. Injuries to Eloy, Dani Lucas and Obele, plus Valdeolivas suspended, prevented manager Anselmo from fielding his strongest team. Cullera almost scored after 8 mins, but from a deep free kick, Da Silver's header just cleared the crossbar. Shortly afterwards, a Carrion miss kick under pressure would have cost a goal, had it not been for a well judged goal line clearance by Rafa. Carillo went close when his effort just missed the target, as the home team continued to dominate. Torry's first real chance arrived on 15 mins. Alberto's well hit drive was deflected for the first of 3 consecutive corners, then from the last, a Carrasco effort eased past the post. Up the other end, twas Cullera's turn to earn 3 corners, which thankfully came to nothing. On 20 mins, Torry once again repeated the sequence, instigated by another Alberto effort. A 30 yard shot by Cullera striker Edu was fumbled by Carrion, before being cleared upfield. Carrasco put the ball in the net on 36 mins, but his aerial challenge on keeper Paredes was deemed unfair. Four min later, it was the hosts who thought they'd scored, this time a linesman’s flag cancelled out their effort for offside. Just before the interval, Carrion expertly tipped over a long range drive, preventing a certain goal. Notable incidents early in the 2nd half were the introduction of Pastor (I'm surprised that he didn't start!), and a booking for Carrasco, making him ineligible for the next game. Alberto, having his best game for a while, brought off a good save following his close range cheeky back heel on the hour mark. Dani Meseguer fired in a firm shot on 70 mins, which Paredes could only parry into the path of Carrasco, who smashed the home from an acute angle, giving his side the lead. Cullera came close to equalising on 2 occasions before sub Gasch had a glorious opportunity to wrap the game up. Faced with just the keeper to beat, and with Pastor well placed to his right, the low in confidence striker squandered the opportunity. Deep into injury time, Carrion pulled off a binding save from a fierce header, which looked a goal all the way. Credit must go referee Guzmaz, who controlled the game superbly, even though he also booked Manu & Gasch! worked hard up front and with Bailey Tomlinson running the line on the right the Toros should have grabbed a few more goals but kept possession well . The second half didn't start as planned with the Toros letting in 2 goals in quick succession but they composed themselves and took control back of the match .Again Mil Palmeras created plenty of chances but only Bailey managed to force the ball over the line . A good solid start to the season and some signs of what this team could be capable of . Well Done to all players. Player of the Match Ben Naylor determination and effort .
