THEWOKINGHAMPAPER Friday, February 26, 2016

This is Wokingham.

We’re proud to cover it!

WOKINGHAM borough is a large part of Berkshire. More than 156,000 of us live here – and countless more work here too.

It’s a diverse area with pretty villages mingling with market towns and hamlets. In parts industrial, in others picturesque, it is a wonderful place to be.

The Wokingham Paper was set up to ensure that the whole borough had its own newspaper.

Our team has a mission to report on events and activities from the northernmost parts, which include parts of Henley and Cockpole Green, to the south including

CHRISTMAS

Advent events help local charities

Swallowfield and Finchampstead.

In between you’ve got Twyford, Woodley and Wokingham town itself. All have their own personalities and specialities and we aim to reflect that.

Our strapline is “News with a heart for the borough” and that’s exactly what we do. We’re a truly local newspaper – we’re produced locally, printed locally and we live locally.

No one else covers Wokingham the way that we do. So if you want to reach Wokingham, we’re the place to be.

Share your family news in The Wokingham Paper

Is there a new addition in your family?

Is your son or daughter getting married this summer?

Has someone you know recently passed their exams?

Maybe a work colleague is retiring and you would like to wish them well in the future.

Contact The Wokingham Paper to post your announcements today.

We offer a range of packages designed at helping you share your news without breaking the bank.

Send us your wedding pictures

If you’re getting married over the next few weeks, make sure you include us in your plans.

Simply send us a picture of the happy couple and tell us a little about the day and we’ll print it free of charge, when space permits.

Share your bundle of joy!

Have you heard the pitter patter of tiny feet? Has the stork brought you a special delivery? We’d love to share your good news with our readers.

Simply send us a photo of the new arrival and tell us a little about them and we’ll print it free of charge, when space permits.

For more details...

CRIME

TALK

A PATIO door was lifted off its hinges during an attempted robbery in Sonning this week.

The Community Cash Tokens are open to charities and other non-profit making groups within Wokingham borough and offer a great way of boosting your funds.

We’re able to offer Community Cash Tokens thanks to the generosity of Mark

AFTER 24 days of artistic endeavours across Wokingham town centre, three charities have received the fruits of the town’s labours.

Between December 1 and Christmas Eve, More Arts organised a special event every evening at 6.15pm as part of its Living Advent Calendar.

Acts included musical teenagers, dancers and singers, with each night taking place in a different location in the town centre.

Earlier this month, More Arts combined its AGM with a presentation to the three local charities that have shared the £2,100 donated by visitors to the calendar.

The charities are the Town Mayor’s charity, Macmillan Cancer Care, Dingley Family and Early Years Specialist Centres and Just Around the Corner.

Gwynneth Hewetson, More Arts chair, said: “The evening was also a vote of thanks to the army of entertainers and technicians who ensure this event happens each year.

“The charities were delighted to receive their share of more than £2,100 donated by the generous audiences over the 24 nights of entertainments in December.

“The Living Advent Calendar is becoming a regular highlight of Wokingham’s Christmas celebrations.”

This December will mark its fifth year and is a partnership between Wokingham Town Council and More Arts, with support from Wokingham Lions and Rotarians.

Ashwell, managing director of TradeMark Windows.

The Wokingham Paper’s publisher Phil Creighton said: “The Community Cash Tokens were a hugely popular ingredient of The Wokingham Times, and thanks to Mark’s support for the community of Wokingham borough, we’re delighted to be able to bring them back.

Elms Field trees axed for temporary parking

By GEMMA DAVIDSON gdavidson@wokinghampaper.co.uk

PLANS to alleviate the town centre’s parking woes while the train station car park is closed are being put into action.

Around 200 spaces will be lost while the car park is closed to make way for a new upper deck, meaning motorists will be forced to look elsewhere.

Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) has put plans to regenerate Carnival Pool’s car park on hold until June, while additional spaces will be temporarily created at the Paddocks and Wellington Road car parks.

The council also hopes to temporarily use the former tennis and basketball courts on Elms Field for council staff parking. Access to the temporary car park on the courts would be via the Paddocks, but for this to work four trees must be removed – and before the end of February to avoid the nesting season.

Cllr John Kaiser, WBC’s executive member for planning and highways said: “We tried but our discussions with South West Trains about the timing of their work and providing alternative facilities for their customers were sadly unsuccessful.

“Around 200 of their customers will be affected by the station car park closing. So we’re trying to minimise this impact on the town, as quickly and simply as we can. The four trees being felled have been surveyed and aren’t high quality.

“Car parks in the south of the town are already well used in the week; particularly at peak times. We hope some of South West Trains’ customers will find alternative ways to get to Wokingham Station or use other stations where there’s parking space, such as Bracknell.

“For people travelling into Reading our Mereoak Park and Ride would be very useful.”

South West Trains says it plans to close the main car park at Wokingham Station on March 28. Most of the smaller car park will stay open but will be dedicated to season ticket parking holders only.

TRANSPORT

Four weeks of road closures on A3290 Suttons Flyover MOTORISTS face four weeks of road closures from Easter as part of a major revamp to the A3290.

The Suttons Flyover, which leads to Thames Valley Business Park, needs urgent repairs and Wokingham Borough Council has warned residents of the plans to shut the roads from Saturday, March 26.

During the works the western (northbound) carriageway on the flyover will be closed and traffic will be directed onto the southbound side, which will temporarily be turned into two single lane roads.

Lane restrictions and temporary speed limits of 30mph and 50mph will be established and an emergency breakdown service will operate.

The four sliproads feeding the Suttons Roundabout on the A4 London Road will remain open.

A letter sent out by the council reveals that the work is being carried out on the 26-year-old road as a result of “wear and tear now beyond the scope of ongoing planned maintenance”.

The letter adds: “The northbound carriageway surfacing will be removed to reveal the waterproof membrane and replaced, as well as the flyover joints.

The work will also improve drainage and give the road a low noise surface. This will mean that the bridge shouldn’t need significant maintenance for some time.” n For more details on the project, log on to www.wokingham.gov.uk/suttonseeds

Anger at ‘hideous person’ who shot cat EXCLUSIVE

By VIVIENNE JOHNSON vjohnson@wokinghampaper.co.uk A CAT nearly died after being shot by an air rifle. Vets X-rays revealed that the feline had a narrow escape after the pellet just missed a vital artery.

Instead, Misty the cat was hit in the toe and her groin, millimetres from the femoral artery. Vets say that if it had hit the blood vessel, the treasured pet would have bled to death.

The pet’s owner has been left angry and upset after the incident, which occurred in Wokingham earlier this month. It is not known who fired the rifle used in the incident and police have launched an appeal to find the culprit.

The owner, who does not wish to be named said: “After the news I was very upset, I cried a lot, but I’m also angry. I never thought that a human could be so cruel.

“We came home shortly before 5.30pm and became worried when she [the cat] wasn't there to greet us. We found her struggling to stand in her bed and as she moved we saw blood.

“I called our vet immediately and took her straight there.“ Sue Bennett of Denton Veterinary Surgery, the vet who looked after Misty, said: “She came in with a wound on her back end and the following day we realised she had been shot.

“The pellet hit the cat’s toe and went into the rump, missing the femur but going into the groin millimetres from her femoral artery. If it had hit the artery she would have bled to death.

“She had a lucky escape and we were able to remove the pellet.”

This isn’t the first time that Denton has treated a cat shot by an air rifle – but Ms Bennett said it had been a long time since such an incident.

She added: “We used to see this a lot about 20 years ago. It’s not nice to think that someone has gone out and intentionally shot a cat.

“We hope Misty will make a full recovery with no lasting damage.

Her owner is distraught and very angry.”

The owner of Misty said that cats form an important part of their family, adding that they would be lost without them.

She said: “I am so thankful that she made it home alive. Her brother missed her so much on Tuesday. It was the first time they were not together.

“I really hope they can find the hideous sick person who did this.

I don't want to let my cats outside

now, I would never forgive myself if they got hurt again.”

Thames Valley Police are currently investigating the incident and a spokesperson said: “Reports of this nature are not common in the Wokingham area.

“Members of the public that witness or are aware of any form of criminal activity should contact us on 101 or, in an emergency on 999.”

An RSPCA spokesperson said: “People need to remember the devastating consequences that shooting at animals with air guns can have both for the animal and their owner.

"If this is a deliberate act of cruelty we would appeal to people’s consciences not to commit such a terrible offence to a much loved pet ever again.

“Under the Animal Welfare Act, if someone is caught deliberately using an air weapon to injure an animal, they could face a £20,000 fine and/or up to six months in prison."

Anyone with information about an air gun attack can report it by calling the police or the RSPCA cruelty line on 0300 123 4999.

Council prepared if Oki the deer returns A DEER that invaded an allotment has prompted a council review of how to treat such cases in the future, writes Vivienne Johnson.

Last summer, Oki the deer set up home in the Ormonde Road allotments and a campaign was set up to prevent her from being shot.

Thousands of people signed an online petition to protect the deer.

Despite attempts to capture the female roe deer, the animal left of her own accord and her current whereabouts are unknown.

At a meeting of the Wokingham Town Council (WTC) Amenities Committee on Tuesday, the committee talked about what they

would do if Oki came back.

The policy dealing with the incursion by large wild mammals onto WTC parks, gardens, allotments and open spaces aims to assess the situation.

The policy says that if the animal is healthy and uninjured attempts to scare the creature off will be made.

Advice will always be sought from registered animal charities with a proven experience and expertise in safely capturing large wild mammals.

If the animal is assessed to be sick, injured or overly aggressive WTC will seek advice from vets, the RSPCA, Hillside Animal Rescue or

St Tiggywinkles for the most humane course of action for the animal and safety of Wokingham residents and visitors.

Councillor Mark Ashwell, chair of the amenities committee, told The Wokingham Paper: “This policy has the welfare of the animals at its heart.

“If a deer or other large wild animal was seen on an allotment we would immediately contact Hillside to get the animal removed.”

In November 2015, the committee decided not to install deer-proof fencing at its Latimer Road and Ormonde Road allotment sites on the grounds of cost.

A TRACTOR was completely destroyed by a fire in Barkham on Tuesday evening.

Crews from Wokingham and Wokingham Road fire station were called to the blaze in Barkham Road, near The Bull at Barkham pub, at around 5.30pm.

Two firefighters using hose reels and breathing apparatus tackled the flames, which were extinguished shortly before 6pm.

The road was briefly closed by the police while the crews dealt with the fire. It is not yet known how the fire started.

TRIAL

Come Flyball with me

WOKINGHAM Town Council’s Amenities Committee agreed at their meeting on Tuesday that the Crossfire Flyball Team will be allowed to meet at Redland Farm Park for a trial period of six months from April.

Concerns were raised at the meeting about noise levels, car parking facilities and dog mess being left behind. A decision was therefore made that the Flyball meetings would be monitored to ensure that local residents and park users are not inconvenienced.

Volunteers helped redecorate Spencers Wood village hall Picture: Paul King

RESIDENTS in Spencers Wood gave up their free time last weekend to help redecorate the village hall, writes Gemma Davidson.

In celebration of the Girl Guiding Movement’s Thinking Day, the 2nd Spencers Wood Brownies decided to give the Victorian hall a spruce up, with a little help from the local community.

Brownie leaders Gillie Gray and Catherine Loftus coordinated the efforts on Saturday morning of dozens of volunteers, including Guide, Brownies and Rainbow leaders from Shinfield, Swallowfield and Spencers Wood.

Parents from the local Brownies troop also helped to give the hall a new lease of life.

Gillie said: “Spencers Wood Village hall is a beautiful Victorian Building built in 1911 that was donated to the community in memory of Mr Lannoy Hunter.

“We are very fortunate to have such a beautiful building and it is used by a myriad of groups from toddlers to

pilates, martial arts to tap dancing as well as Rainbows, Brownies and Guides.

“February 22 is Thinking Day, a day when when we celebrate the Guiding Movement. Each year has a theme and this year it was connectivity and as we were looking for a community project what better than to paint the village hall.

“We started emailing our parents and fellow leaders in early January, even offering Brownie Points for helpers.

Asda in Lower Earley very kindly donated empty cardboard boxes for us to put on the floors, Alec from the Dulux shop in Reading helped with a discount on the paint. We were also very fortunate to connect with Emma from the charity Green Machine in Bracknell where we managed to acquire paint for the hall at a great price.

“We now have a hall to be proud of, the aches and pains may fade but our hall is something to be proud of. Is now the time to mention that we now need to paint the outside of the hall?”

TVP

Police to merge Bracknell with Wokingham THE local policing areas (LPA) of Wokingham and Bracknell Forest will soon merge to create a single area, writes Gemma Davidson.

From Monday, April 4, Wokingham’s superintendent Robert France will take over as the Commander for the combined Bracknell and Wokingham LPA with Chief Inspector Dave Gilbert his deputy.

Thames Valley Police (TVP) has said in a statement that services to the community will not be affected, and the LPA will continue to operate out of both Loddon Valley and Bracknell police stations.

Supt France (pictured) said: “Having been the Wokingham area commander for

over three years now I have seen the very similar challenges faced by Bracknell Forest and Wokingham LPAs. “By bringing the teams together we will create an LPA with greater flexibility and resilience in our front line teams as well as generating some savings.

“The public should see no difference, with no material changes to our neighbourhood, patrol or investigative teams.

“I am confident that we are putting ourselves in the best possible position to meet the challenges of the future and to continue to deliver high quality local policing.”

Supt France joined TVP in 2004, and

was promoted to LPA Commander for Wokingham in January 2013.

He has worked in a variety of operational roles, mainly in the Oxford area, and was Detective Inspector for the West Oxfordshire LPA before his promotion to Wokingham.

In 2010 he was part of the small project team which supported TVP through the Force restructuring project, which was part of the Force’s strategy to address tightening policing budgets while protecting front-line delivery.

Ch Insp Gilbert joined the Metropolitan Police in 1985 before transferring to TVP in 1997 on promotion to Sergeant. He was was appointed LPA Commander for Bracknell Forest in January 2013 after working in various roles across Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

RESIDENTS at risk of flooding in Wokingham borough who have not been eligible for insurance could benefit from a new Government-backed scheme launching in April.

Flood Re, which is funded by insurers, is being set up to improve affordability and availability of flood insurance across the UK, and is expected to benefit up to 350,000 homes across the country, including those who have not previously been able to insure their properties.

Representatives from the scheme visited Reading last week to meet with community groups from across Berkshire, council officers and Home Secretary Theresa May MP to discuss the future of Flood Re and what it could mean for flood-prone residents.

The scheme will charge insurers a capped premium based on a property’s Council

Landlord fined £6,000

Conservation trust wants your bag vote

A ROGUE landlord from Woodley has been fined nearly £6,000 for failing to meet safety standards.

JV Chandler & Co Builders Ltd and one of its directors, James Victor Chandler, based at Bideford Close, were prosecuted on February 12 at Reading Magistrates’ Court for neglecting to maintain a house of multiple occupation on London Road in Reading.

Mr Chandler and the company pleaded guilty to nine charges, including the disrepair of the kitchen ceiling, broken doors, faulty electrical sockets, poorly maintained drains, leaking pipes, obstructed fire escapes and a damaged roof with missing slates.

They were fined £2,700 in total, and ordered to pay costs of £3,000.

The case is the latest prosecution

by Reading Borough Council (RBC) of

landlords who fail to meet standards for their properties, putting tenants’ health and safety at risk.

RBC’s lead councillor for housing, Richard Davies said: “The private rented sector is large in Reading and is a rapidly growing market.

“The council values the contribution made by well managed and licensed houses in multiple occupation within the local housing market and will continue to monitor the occupation of these types of property to ensure they maintain a high standard of accommodation.

“Unfortunately, there are a few who do not meet the standards their tenants have a right to expect.

“We take our regulatory duties for HMOs very seriously and will prosecute those who flout the law.”

HOLT Copse Conservation Volunteers (HCCV) are getting Bags of Help from Tesco, writes Vivienne Johnson.

The local conservation group, which manages Holt Copse on behalf of Wokingham Town Council, has been selected by the supermarket to be one of three local charities to receive an award.

The Bags of Help initiative sees the 5p charge for carrier bags distributed to charities and three awards are available – £8,000, £10,000 and £12,000.

Tesco select the three organisations to be supported in each area, but which group gets each amount will be decided by Tesco customers who can vote for their preferred project from tomorrow (Saturday) until Sunday, March 6.

Mike Saynor, Joint HCCV Co-Ordinator said: “Holt Copse is seven acres owned by Wokingham Town Council but HCCV has managed the area on their behalf for 16 years.

Local residents were concerned that the woods were being swamped by brambles and holly. Because they are evergreen the area was very dark.

“Volunteers cleared the undergrowth and replanted with hazel and oak which are traditional trees in the area. Now more sunlight is reaching the floor and bluebells and wood anemones are starting to flourish. We have also put up 40 nest boxes for birds.”

For the last two years HCCV has been improving the main footpath from Jubilee Avenue to Holt Lane.

“The path is well used by commuters, mothers with pushchairs, school pupils at The Holt and Emmbrook schools and people who just enjoy the ambience of the wood, but the paths are very muddy for much of the year,” said Mr Saynor.

“The Bags of Help money will let us complete the path and make it into a circular walk.”

Mum demands fair deal for borough’s underfunded schools

By GEMMA DAVIDSON gdavidson@wokinghampaper.co.uk A MOTHER of two from Wokingham is calling on the Government to provide more funding for the borough’s schools.

Annabel Yoxall (pictured), 46, from Emmbrook, said she was ‘shocked’ to discover that Wokingham’s schools are among the worst funded in the country.

Ms Yoxall has started an online petition calling for a fairer funding policy as Wokingham’s schools receive just £4,158 per pupil, while schools in Tower Hamlets, in London, receive £7,014 per pupil.

She said: “I heard about the low funding for Wokingham and decided to look into it further. I have been rather shocked and dismayed about the current situation.

“Campaigners have worked really hard in bringing about the fairer funding policy which is due to start being implemented next year. However, the general belief in the wider community is that although funding for some of the highest may be reduced, there is no guarantee of extra funding for the lowest funded.

“I am asking for increased funding for the

lowest, redistribution if need be, to provide a genuinely fair system of fair education for all.”

Ms Yoxall, whose children currently attend Emmbrook Junior School, believes that the borough’s pupils are potentially missing out on quality education and opportunities.

She said: “It restricts our resources and therefore imposes limitations on the education of our children. Along with this, it also affects contracts and staffing levels.

“This has already been going on for a year with no sign of anything changing until next year, when possibly nothing will change for us anyway.”

The Forest School in Winnersh rose the issue in April last year with headteacher Mary Sandell claiming that the gap in funding could equate to around 40 teachers’ salaries.

She said at the time: “Although we are around £2 million worse off than other schools of the same size, we are expected to deliver the same quality of education on far less – not something that is reflected in the schools league tables. We are expected to perform miracles.”

At the time of going to press the petition had received more than 800 signatures. To add your name visit https://petition.parliament.uk/ petitions/119888.

A WOMAN had her bank card stolen during a distraction theft in Wokingham last week.

At 1.45pm on Friday (19) the woman was approached by a man who spoke poor English in the car park of Lidl in Molly Millars Lane.

The man asked the woman for directions to Wokingham Hospital. Later, the woman found that her bank card had been stolen from her handbag which was on the back seat of her car.

The following day, another woman was stopped in Peach Street by a man asking for small change. She took £2 out of her purse to give to him, but when she got to the paper shop she discovered money had been stolen from her purse.

Anyone with information relating to either of these incidents should call the Thames Valley Police enquiry centre on 101.

HUNGRY diners helped a local charity raise more than £500.

CLASP held its annual Big Breakfast event at Wokingham Methodist Church’s Bradbury Centre on Tuesday, February 16.

Guests could enjoy a hearty start to the day while helping the self-

advocacy charity for people with learning disabilities.

Members of the charity helped cook and serve the breakfasts.

A total of £532.65 was raised from the event, which is being shared with The Link Visiting Scheme, a befriending service for older people.

GARAGES and cars have been hit in a series of incidents in Crowthorne over the last week.

During the afternoon and overnight Wednesday, February 17, thieves targeted seven properties and vehicles in the area.

At around 1.30pm, two men were seen smashing the window of a car in Heathermount Drive, and later that night the side door of a car in Purcell Road was tampered with.

A motorbike, helmet, gloves and oversuit were stolen from a garage in Edgewood Close, and two bicycles were taken from a garage in Purcell Road.

A garage in The Brackens was broken into and searched, but nothing was stolen, and a garage in Keats Way was also targeted, but the offenders did not manage to break in.

Thames Valley Police are urging anyone with any information to call the enquiry centre via 101.

UPILS at Waverley School turned detective when a staff room biscuit thief was reported!

Year 5 were called upon to use their forensic skills to uncover the mystery crook and to undertake a CSI adventure (Crime Scene Investigation).

With the only clue being a ransom note left by the thief, the pupils were informed that someone had stolen biscuits from the staff room!

Mrs Phillips, Waverley’s Science teacher, explained to pupils that forensics is often used to expose real-life criminals.

In true detective style, the pupils

then put their forensic skills into action.

The biscuit thief had left a ransom note, which had been written in black ink. This ransom note could lead them to uncover who the biscuit thief was.

Year 5 used water and filter paper and the method of chromatography, to separate the ink of several black ink pens belonging to

various members of staff. They discovered that every type of black ink, although they look the same, will separate into different component colours such as pinks, blues, yellows and purples.

The pupils compared their chromatography results to the ink used to write the ransom note and the thief was revealed!

And who’s the biscuit thief...?

That’s a closely guarded secret with Year 5! But the thief has promised not to do it again!

MYSTERY

Hedge ruined after ‘hit and run’

By GEMMA DAVIDSON gdavidson@wokinghampaper.co.uk A MOTHER of two from Wokingham is facing a £1,400 bill after a van ploughed through her garden hedge in the early hours of Tuesday (23) morning.

Elaine Edmondson, of Sarum Crescent, was woken at 5am by a loud bang. Thinking it could be burglars, Ms Edmondson checked the house and looked out the window, but couldn't see anyone so went back to bed.

Ms Edmondson said: “A neighbour called round and asked if I’d seen the hedge. I was expecting a few snapped branches so when I saw the damage I was completely shocked.

“What really angers me is that the driver didn’t have the courtesy to leave me a note to apologise for the damage, I suppose it’s not really done anymore, but they seem to have just driven off without a thought for how it has left me.”

Ms Edmondson, whose 25-year-old hedge backs onto Crutchley Road, now faces a bill of around £1,400 to have the whole hedge removed and a replacement fence installed.

She said: “The hedge is very well established, so we couldn’t find any of the same size to simply replace it so we are going to have to cut the whole lot down.

“It’s upsetting because the hedge was really lovely, it was perfectly healthy and flourishing and now it will all have to come down.

“As we are on the end I am going to have to get a sturdy, reinforced fence so it doesn’t blow over in the wind. I’ve had a few quotes for the work, and it’s going to cost £400 to take the trees down, and around £1,000 for the fence.

“It is an expense that I just don’t need.

I am recovering from an operation and

The damage left after a van is thought to have ploughed through a hedge in Sarum Crescent earlier this week.

thankfully my employers have given me work to do from home, but if they hadn’t I would have been out of work for three months.

“I’m thankful that it happened at night because the van came right through where my children, Caitlyn and Joshua, usually play.

“We’ve put up chicken wire to make sure the rabbits don’t get out, but the garden is now very exposed.

“I don’t know where my insurance will stand because it doesn’t come under the house or the contents, and the hedges were already here when I moved in.

“I just wish that I had come down to have a proper look when I heard the bang, maybe I would have seen the driver and forced them to hand over their details.”

Ms Edmondson managed to collected several pieces of debris from the van that were left behind in the hedge, which she and a friend have identified as belonging to a Citroen Dispatch, Peugeot Expert, or Fiat Scudo van.

She said: “I want to make people aware in case they see this van that is quite clearly damaged, they may even work in a garage and it comes in to be repaired.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “We were called at 7.53am on February 23 with a report of a vehicle having driven into a fence of a property on Sarum Crescent, Wokingham at around 5am the same morning.

“The person reporting was advised to attend the police station with any further relevant information/ documentation.

“Anyone with any information about this incident or who saw the car is asked to contact TVP via 101.”

A 19-year-old man from Wokingham is due to appear in court charged with using public order and assault charges.

Marcus Ryan Waines, of Frederick Close, appeared at Reading Magistrates’ Court on January 18 where he denied using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour and assaulting a man.

The charges relate to an incident which took place on October 7 in Reading Road.

Mr Waines was remanded on bail to reappear at the same court on March 2.

A MAN from Woodley has pleaded guilty to drink driving and driving without a valid test certificate.

Jonathan Theo Austin, 31, of Colemansmoor Road, appeared at Reading Magistrates’ Court on January 18 where he admitted to driving a Vauxhall Corsa while over the alcohol limit and without a valid test certificate on January 3.

Mr Austin was fined £460, ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £46 and costs of £85, and disqualified from driving for 17 months.

A WOMAN from Winnersh has been handed a conditional discharge for stealing a bottle of wine and a phone charger.

Tamsin Sarah Srokos, 39, of Azalea Close, pleaded guilty to stealing the items, to the value of £24.75, from Sainsbury’s in King Street Lane on January 2.

She was ordered to pay a £15 victim surcharge and giving a nine month conditional discharge when she appeared at Reading Magistrates’ Court on January 18.

BOROUGH

Council to review parish boundaries PLANS To review the boundaries between two districts of Wokingham have been announced by Wokingham Borough Council.

The boundary between Wokingham Town and Wokingham Without Parish could change as a result of population changes from the borough’s ongoing regeneration project.

With many new homes coming to the area, there will be major changes to parts of the borough.

The South Wokingham Strategic Development Location will bring about 1,850 new homes to the area south of the railway line and east of Finchampstead Road – which is currently in Wokingham Without Parish.

The Community Governance Review will consider whether the boundary between Wokingham Without and Wokingham Town should be moved south so that the new homes would be in Wokingham Town.

The review comes from a request from Wokingham town council and is called a Community Governance Review.

As part of the process, the review will also consider if the allocation of councillors to Wokingham Town wards should change to reflect the population changes.

There are no plans to change the overall number of councillors although the review will consider the size of wards and the number of electors per councillor.

The agreement to carry out the review was taken at last Thursday’s council meeting, where the annual budget was also approved.

Wokingham Borough Council’s executive member for resident services Cllr Pauline Jorgensen said: “We were pleased to have received the request from Wokingham Town Council as it is important for residents to understand who their local representatives are. It will be interesting to hear what people think about the potential boundary change.”

New features in store after pet shop revamp A WOKINGHAM pet store will open a refurbished store next Friday.

Pets at Home, which is based at Bridge Retail Park, has been completely revamped and new features include a special Groom Room.

This offers a wide range of services including full grooming, bath and blow dry, puppy grooming and nail clipping.

The refurbishment creates four new jobs, and the company says that there will now be 16 people employed in the store in full- and part-time roles.

Store staff receive extensive training on pet care and pet knowledge which is endorsed by City & Guilds.

There are also plans to open a Vets4Pets practice in the store in the near future. The new surgery will house an operating theatre, digital X-ray facilities, an in-house laboratory and a hospital ward providing a wide range of treatments.

Store manager, Ally Slade, said: “We’ve listened carefully to what our customers have been telling us and we’re confident the store’s improved layout and new services will be just what they want.”

Robot wars helps NEETs to learn new skills

By VIVIENNE JOHNSON vjohnson@wokinghampaper.co.uk

ROBOTS came to life at a local college last week in an innovative partnership between a telecommunications giant and the Prince’s Trust.

Reading College was the venue for the week-long Get Started course, aimed at helping people aged 16 to 25 learn the basics of robotics. During the week, they designed and built their own robots.

Although the event was aimed at boosting STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills for the youngsters who are not in education, employment or training, it also stretched and developed personal and social skills, confidence and teamwork.

The project was devised by Huawei, the Chinese multinational networking and telecommunications company

based in Green Park and the Prince’s Trust.

Last Friday, Gordon Luo, the UK CEO of Huawei, visited Reading College with Michael Stickland, Head of Corporate Partnership at the Prince’s Trust.

The pair were able to see the fruits of the week’s labours and watched a ‘robot war’.

“I am delighted to see the skill and innovation used to building these robots,” said Mr Luo. “Congratulations to everyone of you. STEM subjects can seem daunting but can also be fascinating and fun. There is a great future in robotics and engineering. I hope you have caught a glimpse of the opportunities available to you. These

are truly excellent robots.

“Princes Trust do important work and Huawei have pledged to raise £100,000 for them.”

Following the workshop Huawei is providing the participants with ongoing support for three months to encourage them into education, employment, training or volunteering.

COMMUNITY

Chance to hear more about Keep Hatch

Tree for all with new planting

PLANS to install up to 300 new homes and a road in the Keep Hatch Beech area will be discussed at a community forum next month.

Wokingham Borough Council is organising the event to allow residents to find out the latest on the proposals, which also include a new pub/restaurant, open green space, allotments and a noise barrier on the site.

During the first two years of construction, parts of the North Wokingham Distributor Road will be built through the development.

The community forum on Thursday, March 10, will be an opportunity for all local residents to find out more about the development. Representatives from the developer consortium will give a presentation on their plans and they, together with representatives from Wokingham Borough Council’s planning team, will be able to answer residents’ questions about the development.

The council said that the developers have outline planning consent for up to 300 homes on the site.

The details of design and layout will be set by a ‘reserved matters’ planning application that has been submitted to Wokingham Borough Council.

The meeting will take place in the main hall of St Crispin’s School in London Road from 7pm to 8.45pm.

A MOVEMENT that wants to share food with the community has planted more fruit trees.

The Earley Community Orchard Group has been working with Earley Town Council in a project to identify areas which could be used to plant the trees, with the aim of letting the public help themselves to when harvest comes round.

Earlier this month, Earley Town Council mayor, councillor Melanie de Jong, planted the tree next to a footpath in Laurel Park. The trees have been spaced so that the area can still be mown.

Jean Hackett, chair of the Earley based Community Orchard Group explained: “The planting of this new orchard has all been done by volunteers with the produce available for people to pick and use.

“Anybody going past can see the changes in the seasons.

“People have sponsored a tree for £25 which covered the cost of the tree, a tree guard, stakes and ties.”

Cllr Tim Chambers with his wife, Cllr Linda Chambers, sponsored a tree, which they planted themselves. They have also provided the park with a walnut tree that Cllr Tim Chambers had grown from a nut.

The Orchard Group has also planted cooking and eating apples, pears, plums, damsons, greengages, a mulberry and a walnut tree.

“Some are heritage varieties,” said Mrs Hackett. “We have chosen them so they crop at different times of the year.

“They will also be the sort of varieties that you can’t buy in the shops.”

Earley’s first community orchard was planted in Spring 2015 at Paddick Drive.

Skills for living a fuller life

T

O ENABLE communication and mobility, many different life skills are required as a child develops into an adult. Some skills do not change, such as walking, talking and eating.

But other skills, like using a website or even a TV, telephone or radio, need to change and develop frequently to adapt to technology as it evolves with our fast moving culture.

Most of the population can adapt to change and take it in their stride, but for those living with a dementia or the elderly or disabled, change is just one more challenge to face in their daily lives.

There are over 650,000 people living with a dementia in the UK, of which 40% are young. It is a condition which affects most families in some way and its increase has caused national and government concern.

The effect dementia has on a person is debilitating and often reduces their skills and confidence, as well as affecting their memories. Restoring their ability to use familiar skills from their lives at home or at work is a simple but effective way of improving a person’s well being.

Bridges Home Care has recently introduced a new way of caring for people with a dementia which involves getting alongside the person and motivating them to use the skills they used to have, such as repairing a car, filing documents or peeling potatoes. These skills, when encouraged, help to relieve the frustration of the condition and to restore an individual’s dignity.

For those with infirmities, disabilities or special needs, joining in an activity brings joy and helps to restore dignity and independence, even if it’s something simple like helping to prepare a meal. Encouraging folk to use their skills is not only a skill itself, but it’s often an important step forward.

Carers can bring the essential reassurance to empower

ABOVE: Your skills can be used to help others live life to the full

their clients, not just by what they do, but the way that they do it. Their empathy and positive attitude is infectious and mobilising: a critical component in enabling others to live their lives to the full.

The carer’s own skills are often called into action too.

The home care workers at Bridges offer a diverse range of background skills and experience. On the practical side, skills such as driving another person, meal preparation or organising appointments and medication are all important attributes. More subtle skills are less obvious but also valuable, such as the ability to listen, to speak clearly and to see what needs to be done, without being asked.

On the technical side all Bridges Home Care team receive thorough in-house training so that the carers on their visits are equipped to use hoists, wheelchairs or other special equipment with ease.

Skills are for our own way of living and but can also for be used to help others. Let us know how your skills could be put to full use.

THE WOKINGHAM PAPER N E W S W I T H A H E A RT F O R T H E B O RO U G H

With all this change, having your say matters THIS week, we’re reporting on two more public consultations that are due to take place.

The first relates to the Crossrail project, which will ultimately mean direct trains to Heathrow from Reading, with the route crossing the borough including Twyford.

It’s a large-scale project that includes a 5km tunnel being bored. Not quite the length of the Channel Tunnel, but still an impressive engineering feat.

Although the consultation events take place around the Slough area, affected residents would do well to make a date in their diaries to attend.

The second is more local: on Thursday, March 10, Wokingham Borough Council is holding a meeting relating to the new Keep Hatch Beech Development.

The scheme will see another 300 homes built, plus some amenities including a new pub/ restaurant, open green space, allotments and a noise barrier.

A section of the North Wokingham Distributor Road will also go through the site and be built during the first two years of the project.

As evidenced by the Emmbrook residents meeting last week, the planned route of the road has put the public at loggerheads with the borough council – the public feels that their preferred route has been snubbed, while the council believes it has found the best and most cost-effective solution.

With all these big projects – and there’s more to come over the next few years – it’s important to stay informed of the plans.

The alternative is that they’ll spring up around us.

So make a date in your diary, find out what’s being planned and make sure you have your say on the proposals.

CHURCH NOTES

We need to be prepared ‘LIFE is short, have an affair’ – the strap line of the Ashley Madison website that hit the news in August last year.

But captured in these six words is a picture of the society and culture in which we live. Life is short: we have to get out of it the most fun and personal satisfaction. I make sure that I do what I want so that I get the most out of life.

One thing is true, life is short. So what does this mean for me, what is the meaning of life and what impact does this have on the way I live my life?

Professor Brian Cox assures us that this world will last for another five billion years or so, until our sun’s core will collapse.

So that’s OK then, I can get on with living for today! But the Bible tells a different story; the end might just come sooner than that.

It tells us that we are not waiting for the natural processes of decay, but actually that the God who created the world will not stand by for ever watching as we destroy each other and the world around us. He will call us to account.

But surely that doesn’t include me? In Wokingham we are all such nice people. It is easy for us to look at the world around us and point out the evil and darkness elsewhere, but we have to be careful in judging others because the Bible tells us that we have all sinned and have all fallen short of God’s glory.

I remember a Channel 4 series many years ago looking at the Ten Commandments where a lady made the comment: “What’s the use in having commandments that you can’t actually keep?”

The biggest problem we have is when we devote our life to ‘me’, ignoring God. We may think that we can predict the future, but Jesus will return, and he will return when we least expect it: we need to be ready, so as the Scouts would say, be prepared.

Ian Stewart is a member of Christ Church Wokingham, which meets every Sunday at 10.30am at St Crispin’s School.

Parish councils DO provide good value for money

Don’t call residents’ views ‘nonsense’

Sadly, your editorial (February 19) is based on a false premise. The difference of £85 between Band D council tax in Woodley and Swallowfield is not per month but per year!

Woodley Town Council provide many more facilities such as Leisure Centres than do the predominantly rural Swallowfield Parish Council.

I am a Parish councillor in Finchampstead and we provide litter cleaning, footpath maintenance, financial support to local charities and schools, vehicle speed monitoring, input to WBC on planning applications, defibrillators, suggested local walks – I could go on, and all for 42p per week for a Band D property.

I was astonished to see Councillor Kaiser’s description of Emmbrook residents’s views as “nonsense” (Residents’ anger as cheaper Toutley Road distributor route is chosen, February 19).

“Nonsense” is a good word to describe a consultation process which ignores the results of the consultation.

Borrowing millions, committing Council Tax payers to huge interest payments, for the sake of some new shops in the town centre is nonsense.

Councillors voting themselves

On Redwood backing Brexit MPs are supposed to represent the interests and concerns of their constituents. Redwood has never done that - he has only ever represented his own interests and concerns.

He has always been a Eurosceptic and his mind was made up long ago. He won’t be listening to the wishes of his constituents - but he never has done anyway.

Perhaps we need a Pexit (not a Brexit) to force out of Parliament all those MPs who couldn’t care less about the views of their constituents, and start again. That really would be refreshing.

Georgie Crane, via Facebook Totally ineffective and shouldn’t be our Tory rep/ MP. Don’t hear from him at local level so don’t give a monkeys what he thinks. In fact not sure anyone in Westminster is that bothered by his opinion either.

Make A329M 50mph and install gantries I have driven the new layout from Wokingham to Reading and Reading to Wokingham just recently.

a pay rise, while pleading austerity to residents, is nonsense.

Emmbrook residents are rightly furious that their views regarding the proposed Northern Distribution Road have not been heeded by local Tories.

Wheeling out our distracted MP will fool no one.

There were 450 people at the meeting, Mr Redwood managed just 221 words about the meeting in his blog.

The next day he managed three times as many words with a rather eighteenth century vision of

What is missing is: 1. A 50mph speed limit at the start of the signs informing drivers of the lanes separating into different routes.

2. Overhead gantries like you get on ‘proper’ motorways which give drivers plenty of time to get in lane.

Thank you for handing my bag in safely I was horrified one day last week when getting ready to go out I realised that my handbag was missing.

Retracing my steps and my thoughts from the day before, I came to the awful conclusion,that after shopping at Lidl, I must have put the shopping in the car and then put my trolley away, leaving the handbag tucked inside it.

I phoned the shop, who knew nothing about it, but much later in the day, the manager called to say that the handbag had been handed in after all, completely intact.

I have no idea who the person was that handed it in but I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU. We hear so much these days about theft

Britain’s future based on coal, fish and timber production.

Speaking for England?

He should be working for Wokingham, because that is what he is paid to do.

He is certainly not speaking up for the residents of Emmbrook, but at least he has not described resident’s views as “nonsense”.

Councillor Kaiser has the luxury of not being up for election in May, his colleague in Emmbrook is not so fortunate.

On Redwood being told to ‘bugger off’ over EU letter Why publish an article bashing our local MP in this way? John Redwood always strikes me as a man with more integrity than he’s given credit for.

For example, he abstained from voting on the UK’s action in Syria when he listened to people’s concerns.

Also, why shouldn’t he write to fellow MP’s?

He’s opposed to the EU and I imagine more than 50% of his consituency voters are too!

GOOD ADVICE

Need to have flexible working?

There are times when you may need some flexibility in your working hours.

Maybe you just need some flexibility in your start and finish times because of children and school, or perhaps you need to work from home on some days. This article will tell you how to request this and what you could do if it is refused.

If you have worked for your employer for at least 26 weeks, you can ask for flexible working.

Flexible working can include working part time, working school hours, working flexitime, home working, job sharing, shift working, staggering hours and compressing hours (where you work your total number of agreed hours over a shorter period).

Although you have the right to ask to work flexibly, your employer doesn’t have to agree to it. However, they must give your request serious consideration and have a good business reason if they decide not to agree.

You can make one request to work flexibly each year. This must be in writing. You should say how you think the change in your working pattern will affect your employer’s business and how this might work in practice. Your request must include the following information: n The date of your application, the change to the working conditions you are seeking and when you would like the change to come into effect.

n What effect, if any, you think the requested change would have on the employer and how, in your opinion, any such effect might be dealt with n A statement that this is a statutory request and if and when you have made a previous application for flexible working.

Once the employer gets your request he must consider it. He should arrange to talk to you as soon as possible, unless he intends to approve the request. If the request is not being approved then he should allow you to be accompanied by a work colleague to any meeting, and any following appeal meeting.

If the employer rejects your request it must be for one of the following reasons: n The burden of additional costs n An inability to reorganise work amongst existing staff n An inability to recruit additional staff n A detrimental impact on quality n A detrimental impact on performance n Detrimental effect on ability to meet customer demand n Insufficient work for the periods the employee proposes to work n A planned structural change to your business.

If the employer is rejecting it he should allow you to appeal. It allows you both to discuss the decision and perhaps reveal new information about the request.

If it is still refused you may be able to: n Ask ACAS to help you sort out your dispute. ACAS has set up a flexible working arbitration scheme to deal with this type of dispute. You can find out more on the ACAS website at www.acas.org.uk

n Complain to an employment tribunal.

You can only complain to an employment tribunal under certain circumstances, for example, where your employer hasn’t followed the procedure properly for considering your request or where they haven’t taken the right information into account when making their decision.

You may also be able to make a claim to an employment tribunal for sex discrimination. For example, if you are a woman, you may be able to make a claim on the basis that refusing to allow you to work flexibly is ‘indirect sex discrimination’. This is because more women than men have childcare responsibilities.

There’s a strict time limit for making a claim to an employment tribunal. This is usually three months minus one day from the date when the thing you are complaining about last happened.

This is a very complicated area. If you want to make a claim to an employment tribunal because your employer has refused your request for flexible working, you should get advice from an experienced adviser, for example, at a Local Citizens Advice.

You should also bear in mind that an employment tribunal may not be able to over-turn your employer’s decision. However, it may be able to force your employer to reconsider your request or to award you compensation. n You can get help, information and advice from your local Citizens Advice or visit www.citizensadvice. org.uk or contact Citizens Advice Wokingham at Second Floor, Waterford House, Erftstadt Court, Wokingham, RG40 2YF.

EAR Minister Over here in leafy Berkshire we’ve got the builders in.

Not that we asked them mind you, they came of their own accord.

And they’re a crafty lot, armed with advisors and bundles of plans, intent on “driving the economy” and “building a big society”.

Well, that’s their story.

To us, it looks like they’re building by the river, down in Eeyore’s “boggy bit” which nobody else wanted. Until now. If they’re like most builders, they’ll scarper once they’re paid, leaving us to clear up after.

The site is Hatch Farm in Winnersh and the saga of “will they/won’t they” has been going on for years. It’s not the best of sites – M4 to the South, River Loddon to the West, local main road to the North and “us lot” in the cheap seats to the East.

The Council’s planning team have done a good job. Negotiating a new main road as part of the deal to build 400+ houses. They nearly got agreement on a new primary school too, but something happened and at least we’re getting the land, if not the school.

A bit like David v Goliath, our sorely stretched planners continue to battle the giants of

TONY JOHNSON A letter to the minister construction. Builders with clever beggars to help them; always ready to get new “rulings”, “policies” or “advisories” that they can use to get what they want.

Back to that site then and outline planning permission from November 2014 has moved on to Reserved Matters stage. We’ve been given the real plans and outline’s elegant swan has disappeared to be replaced by a rather shabby, ugly duckling.

But it’s the engineering detail which gives the clues. They’re only shoring up the level of part of the new main road – in flood zone 3. In zone 2 it’s being left to take its chances.

They also show that the posh houses at the top go right to the edge of (and into) flood zone 2.

They’re shoring them up as well, but higher than

the main road going past.

This shoring up takes earth from the land allocated to the school and moves it over – a bit like robbing Peter to pay Paul. Leaving us in the Borough with the risk that nothing can be built on the school land unless the Council pays to shore that land back up again.

Elsewhere in the country, as Mr and Mrs Tweedie of Newlands Park in Dearham (Cumbria) discovered this year, builders shored up land so that their bright and shiny new houses would sell. In the rains, the new bit stayed dry, while just down the slope, the Tweedie’s house was flooded, despite being nowhere near a river or a flood zone.

Shock horror! It appears that water finds its own way downhill. Sneakily.

Meanwhile those same developers are part of the

team beavering away on Hatch Farm.

Elsewhere in the borough and our planners have successfully negotiated noise barriers alongside the A329M, but new residents down by the M4 won’t be so lucky.

Instead of using DEFRA’s detailed noise maps with all-year round averages, I believe they found a secluded spot, on a dry day with no wind, and took a one-hour snapshot to show it was so quiet that noise prevention measures weren’t needed.

So having learned far more about planning and flooding than I ever wanted to, I heard a rumour recently that your department is “Calling In” planning applications where developments are taking place on flood plains.

Not sure whether to believe that rumour, but thought I’d write to you anyway.

If only to share our ‘A’ or ‘Be’ musement regarding “da bildaz”.

The above text has been taken from a letter to the Right Honourable Elizabeth Truss MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Copies have been sent to local MPs and key Borough Councillors and staff. Also to Mr and Mrs Tweedie, who’d commented at Outline stage because there was “a bit of a problem” with puddles of water in the field.

Can you help trace train friend?

Football The girls have had a break from football during half-term so it will be a shock to the system to get everyone out of the house in time for their games, it’s normally quite easy though with the promise of a bacon butty.

How lucky are we that home matches are played at Lowther Road where the club house is open for tea and coffee and tasty bacon sarnies. I really hope that they get planning permission for the improvements, we need good facilities for our local team and I am looking forward to when the car park is sorted as it’s very muddy and bumpy, once that’s done then we won’t be parking on the road.

School run I would hardly call the journey to school a ‘run’ but it’s what we do each day, be it walking, cycling or driving. Walking is by far the easiest and so much less stressful than sitting in the car staring at the bumper in front of you. Then there’s the parking issue.

I will readily admit to being a parking pedant, I make no apologies for it. None whatsoever. One car parked out of place can impact on the flow of traffic, tempers

get frayed and drivers get irate. Oh, I can well do without that first thing in the morning.

Mornings are fraught enough, which is why I am counting down to the Easter holidays.

Memories of Wokingham It’s been great to see so many people getting in touch from all over the world via the ace Facebook group set up by Steve Armstrong. People have posted a memory and others have piled in with anecdotes or nuggets of the past, do, if you are not already add yourself to the group.

Sue Heath is organising a get together on Saturday, May 14 in Wokingham for people who were youngsters in Wokingham, who are now aged in their 50s, 60s and 70s.

Head over to the Facebook page for more information.

Stranger on a train I recieved this message earlier in the week and wonder if anyone knows who this could be? Drop me an email if you know who it is so that D can say thank you: “Can you help trace a kind lady who helped me on the train last Friday? The lady in question lives in Wokingham with her husband and her elderly father who is in his 90s. She is slim, with short brown hair. She commutes to Covent Garden every day.

“I was in a bad way and I really believe that had she not helped when she did, I’d have collapsed. I use a walking stick, I was wearing a pink blouse and had a bag of shopping. She was amazing and so kind.

“I am in my 40s, nobody else offered to help, I was left standing and crushed on this train. I was in a great deal of pain and showing signs of being in a bad way.

I couldn’t regulate my body temperature and she said I was bright red.

“I now know that I have a nasty infection. But she’s been on my mind all weekend and I’d like to say thank you in person.”

VERYTHING is back to (relative) normal after half-term and now it’s just a short time until my lot break up for Easter.

I have to say that I really like March, not just because it’s my birthday but it’s Mothering Sunday, the clocks go forward, there’s more daylight hours and there is the real promise of spring. The garden is beginning to show signs of what lies beneath and I have every intention of spending as much time in the garden as I can.

One thing that we don’t have a lot of is moles and having spent a bit of half term with friends whose garden is blighted by moles I’m grateful, we just have footballs all over the garden!

OH, MR SMITH!

Well done Michael Gove and Boris Johnson

Clear the air

W

E HAVE been reading reports for a week or more over whether Michael Gove and Boris Johnson will join the Leave campaign.

It has clearly worried the Remain campaign a lot, and they seem to have been briefing about their negotiations with the two men. Given their concern, to lose one was careless, but to lose two is bad news indeed for them.

Michael Gove followed up his decision with a magnificent statement setting out why many of us think the only course of action for the UK must be to leave the EU. He explained why our democracy matters, and why it is incompatible with the current commitments and legal entanglements of the EU treaties. We can now look forward to Boris’s journalistic abilities also helping our just cause.

The Remain campaign is much keener on arguments by endorsements, because their campaign is so thin on any good reasons for the course of action they are taking.

In contrast the Leave campaign has a wealth of material of how things will be better when we are out, and much to explain to voters about how we are currently badly governed from Brussels.

Proceeding mainly by endorsement has been the way the pro-EU faction has done so much damage to our country and our economy in the past. It was weight of business and political opinion that forced us into the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. That led to massive job losses, factory closures and a substantial recession. It damaged the very profits, dividends and even jobs of those who recommended it.

There was also a big business led lobby to get the UK to join the Euro. This time those of us who fought it succeeded, thanks to the commonsense of the British people. There was no way Labour could win a referendum to abolish the pound, so we managed to keep our currency despite the weight of so called expert opinion in favour.

So whilst it is good news that Michael and Boris have joined us, and their voices are very welcome, it is even better news that we have the best arguments on our side.

Experience shows that so called informed opinion which favours the UK staying in the EU has so far got it very wrong. That is why many voters will now ignore the endorsements that will scurry out in the next few weeks, and will instead come to their own conclusion based on the arguments.

The arguments point as Michael and Boris have realised in favour of us leaving.

Wokingham Northern Relief Road YESTERDAY evening [Wednesday, February 17] as Parliament is in recess I was able to go to the public meeting at Emmbrook School to discuss the Wokingham Northern Relief Road. The Chairman of the meeting was keen I should attend and listen, so I did.

The meeting was well attended. We heard a presentation from a Borough officer on the public response to the original consultation, which favoured Route B by a large margin, and on the subsequent changes the borough has made to the route. Most of the questions and points made by audience members were critical of the changes to the preferred route, or were concerns about the route chosen for construction traffic.

The Leader of the Council, the Councillor responsible for the scheme, and local ward Councillors from Emmbrook were all present, so they all heard the range of points and criticisms made. The issues that came up all related to the planning powers and highways choices of the borough, so it is good councillors were there to hear objections or wishes for improvements. They can take this into account as they develop the scheme further and move towards seeking planning permission.

As MP I am ready to help the Council with applications for Government funding once there is an agreed scheme with planning permission, where Government money or assistance is needed.

A wry look at life

.

OR years I’ve told my good wife that our drafty old house is healthy for us – much to her consternation.

To placate her I have sealed gaps around doors and replaced the hinges on our 70s fitted aluminium windows to reduce heat loss. “Quite right” you might think in these environmentally concerned days but too much environmental efficiency can be bad for your health.

On Tuesday, the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme reported the findings of a University of Southampton environmental study that stated air pollution in modern homes was at an unhealthy level due to poor ventilation. You can read it at www.southampton. ac.uk/news/2016/02/pollution-report.page Far be it from me to say ‘told you so’ but I am not at all surprised. My family used to visit a rich relative who lived in an upmarket modern house in St Albans.

Mrs Smith enjoyed the warmth but I found it far too stuffy and unpleasant to breathe.

This latest report claims that modern homes are so well sealed there is an unhealthy build-up of chemicals in the air. These come from cleaners and other household chemicals. My daughter burns scented candles too.

Thank goodness none of our doors fit properly.

F

Seal the home In recent years there have been two particular movements that I suspected were unintentionally robbing us of healthy air by focussing too much on energy performance standards.

One is a German standard of house building called Passivhaus and the other is “zero carbon homes”.

The idea was that zero carbon homes would dramatically reduce carbon dioxide emissions from housing which apparently generates around

a third of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions.

New homes from 2016 would generate energy on-site from wind, solar power and other renewable sources. The energy consumed in the home would be optimised through the introduction of tighter energy efficiency standards that would come into force this year.

The net result according to the calculations is, I assume, a new home would have no carbon impact on the environment.

Passivhaus, a German housebuilding standard, aims to achieve something similar through a different approach. To qualify for the standard the home is hermetically sealed for testing to stop heat loss.

Zero carbon was promoted by Gordon Brown in 2006 but George Osborne scrapped the scheme last year following complaints from the construction industry that they could not produce affordable homes on this basis. Inevitably there has been an outcry from the powerful environmental lobby.

I am not an environmental scientist but I was always sceptical of these good intentions. I may have to wear thick jumpers during the winter but at least I don’t have to worry about my lungs. Now you might imagine my fashionable log burning stove would win the approval of the author of this report but apparently log fires are not a good idea either.

Burning wood may be “carbon neutral” but the fumes that escape the stove also build up in modern homes and along with other chemicals present a threat to the unborn baby – as well as other inhabitants.

If you do live in a new home the simple advice seems to be to open the window more often. I would also suggest you minimise the use of air fresheners and other chemicals. This is where an outside loo might come in handy.

HEALTH MATTERS with Nicola Strudley

What carers think of the new Care Act

T

HE new Care Act, which came into force on 1 April 2015, gave carers rights on a par with the people they care for, which includes an entitlement to an assessment of their own needs.

This includes taking into consideration the carer’s health and wellbeing, family relationships and their need to balance their home life with their education or work. If they are found to be eligible they are entitled to support funded by their local authority. In addition, all local authorities must provide advice and information and prevent carers’ needs from getting worse.

We know that approximately 10% of the local population undertake some sort of unpaid caring role, Wokingham Borough Council thought it would be beneficial if Healthwatch surveyed local carers to measure their awareness of the Care Act and to a hear what difference it is making to carers lives.

Healthwatch planned to carry out three surveys of carers over a period of a year. It proved very difficult to get a large number of carers to volunteer to complete the survey even though Healthwatch spent some considerable time trying to do so.

We spoke to carers at user/support groups across the Borough and at general engagement events. The difficulty in getting the views of people in receipt of care and their carers is concerning and problematic.

If we, consumer champion for health and social care in Wokingham borough, found it difficult to hear the carer’s voice we think the statutory organisations such as the Council must be having the same problem.

We would encourage the development of channels locally for carers to have their say and provide feedback.

Healthwatch hears all the time about the difficulty in accessing information and people not being aware of their entitlements.

One person told us: “I have been a carer for many years, until I spoke to you at this event today I didn’t know I was entitled to an assessment or any particular help, if you are not told, how do you know what you are entitled to?”

Even when help is provided it does not always have a positive impact unless the needs of the carer are really taken on board “I have had my carer’s assessment and it has made no difference to my life. I already had the three hours respite care. This is mostly used so that I can go to Pilates but is not enough to cover hydrotherapy as well”.

We are keen to hear the voice of the carer and find out about your experiences of local services for both yourself and the person you care for. You can change things by sharing your views, good ideas, experiences and concerns. Your comments and views can influence how future services are developed, or how changes to existing services are made. These could have a major impact on your life and the life of the person you care for.

If you are unsure about your entitlements or what services there are locally get in touch with us –we can provide information, advice and signposting. n How to Contact us: Facebook @ healthwatchwokingham, Twitter @HWWokingham, call 0118 418 1418, email enquiries@ healthwatchwokingham.co.uk or walk in via Citizens Advice at 2 Waterford House, Erfstadt Court, Denmark Street, Wokingham RG40 2YF.

CAMPAIGN

Watch out for blood when you go for a wee A PHARMACY in Finchampstead is lending its support to a national NHS campaign to highlight the warning signs of bladder and kidney cancer.

Finchampstead Pharmacy, in Finchampstead Road, is urging customers this month and next to contact their GP if they notice blood in their urine, as it could be a sign of the disease.

Pharmacy manager Mani Juttla said: “It’s likely to be nothing serious, but if it is cancer the earlier you find out the more treatable it makes it.

“There are other symptoms to consider, but you won’t be wasting anyone’s time by getting checked out as soon as you notice this sign.

“And remember there are many things you can do to help reduce your chances of getting bladder or kidney cancer. Stop smoking, maintain a healthy weight, keep active and eat healthily!”

Each year in England around 17,450 people are diagnosed with bladder or kidney cancer and whilst these cancers can affect people of all

ages, they are most common in those over 50.

The team at Finchampstead Pharmacy can help customers to make healthy lifestyle choices for them.

To find out more about Finchampstead Pharmacy’s services, visit www.finchampsteadpharmacy. co.uk, follow them on Twitter @ finchamppharm, find them on Facebook or call 0118 973 7084.

The pharmacy is open 7am to 10.30pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sundays.

A trade deal could scupper the nation’s healthcare argues a campaign group – and, as GEMMA DAVIDSON reveals, they want Wokingham’s MP to do more about it

C

AMPAIGNERS fighting to protect the NHS from a transatlantic trade deal are said to be ‘furious’ over claims that Wokingham’s MP has not taken firm action on the issue.

More than 1,400 people signed a petition set up by The People’s NHS last year calling on John Redwood MP to oppose the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), which campaigners say poses a ‘real and serious’ threat to Britain’s sovereignty over the NHS. This week, The People’s NHS revealed that it had seen new legal advice from one of the UK’s top lawyers showing a ‘real and serious risk’ to future governments wishing to take the NHS back into public hands.

A spokesperson for the campaign group said in a statement: “The TTIP trade deal is being negotiated behind closed doors, between EU bureaucrats and delegates from the United

act actually makes it look as if he wants the NHS to be irreversibly sold-off.

In turn these upper echelons possessed a serious sense of duty and a responsibility to ensure their community received at least a basic education. Wokingham also had a powerful professional class, a strong church community (including the nonconformists) and together they shared a strong belief in the importance of teaching.

The result was with the skills, the motivation and the finance available, there developed a culture of education which still holds strong to this day.

The day Wokingham went running

By PHIL CREIGHTON news@wokinghampaper.co.uk THOUSANDS turned out to enjoy the 30th Wokingham Half Marathon on Sunday.

Started by the borough mayor, the event saw runners pound the countryside around Hurst and Cantley Park.

Some raised funds for their favourite charities, one wore fancy dress and others were treating the race as a warm-up for the London Marathon.

Conditions for the race were good – the wind dropped as the race went on and the sun even came out, a far cry from the predicted heavily overcast day.

Although the course record was not broken, it was a close run thing. First back was Paul Pollock from the Annadale Striders, who achieved a time of 1 hour 3 minutes and 46 seconds – the men’s record is 1.03.14.

He was two minutes ahead of second place, Luke Caldwell from Doring and Mole Valley club.

It was a joint tie for third place: judges couldn’t

separate John Beattie from Newham and Essex Beagles and Kojo Kyereme from Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers. The duo had a time of 1.06.13.

This was a record for Kojo, recording the fastest ever time in the over 40s category.

Another record was shattered in the women’s over 50 category. Claire Elms, one of the leading runners in the UK, came home in 83 minutes and 36 seconds.

Race commentator Richard Hughes said: “Yet again another great sporting day in Wokingham. The 30th running of the half marathon again produced some fabulous results, with 2,344 finishers – the highest since 2001.”

There was just one runner in fancy dress – an Elvis impersonator was all shook up as he ran round the course.

Mr Hughes also paid tribute to Peter Evans, the race director ever since the event started.

He said: “Since it started in 1984 the event has been organised every year by Peter Evans, assisted by his wife Barbara and a small team of volunteers.

“While it may not be the longest running half marathon in the UK, I cannot find any event of any distance that has had the same race director for that length of time. Fabulous job – long may they continue to give Wokingham one of the very best organised half marathons in the UK.”

errington Carmichael’s team of four runners had been pounding the pavements for the last few months in preparation for the big day – the 30th Wokingham Half Marathon.

As sponsors of the event Herrington Carmichael had a team of volunteers from the firm who all eagerly cheered the runners home and handed out goodie bags of sweets at the end. Everyone had a great morning despite the blustery conditions.

Their runners – Cesare McArdle, Chris Gemson, Joshua Watkins and Laura Gilbert – were waiting at the start line with the other 2,266 participants for a prompt start at 10am.

The firm’s Senior Partner, Jim Eatwell, proudly handed out the prizes to all the winners (pictured left).

Herrington Carmichael’s runners took part in the Wokingham Half Marathon to raise money for local charity George Bairstow Charitable Trust. They have so far raised nearly £1,000 for the Trust.

The trust supports a variety of causes from the provision of emergency first aid to skills to development amongst young people.

They all had a good strong start. Whilst it was a dry morning, the wind was not kind. It was fairly F O blustery R A Lparticularly L B U Stowards I N E Sthe S end making it an even tougher race over the last few miles.

MUSIC

Festival announces first acts: Never The Bride to headline

EXCLUSIVE – This year’s Wokingham Festival is the tenth and organisers are planning quite a party. Here’s the bands you can look forward to

O

RGANISERS of the Wokingham Festival are promising something for all music lovers as they reveal the line-up for this August’s three-day event.

Genres include blues, country and rock and roll and include a band described by Bob Harris as one of the best.

There are three headline acts each night of the festival. Two have just been announced – DAFT! will be on Friday night, while Never The Bride will close the festival on Sunday.

Daft! are regulars on the local music scene and perform a mix of rock, pop, indie and party covers from the past six decades and are sure to get Elms Field jumping.

Also announced this week, among others, are U2 Tribe, Rockbuster, the Rock Choir and The Deltas.

Sunday’s headliner Never the Bride have enjoy numerous success including a performance on Glastonbury’s main stage and jamming with Roger Daltry, Alice Cooper and Dame Shirley Bassey.

It’s little wonder that Bob Harris once said “One of the best live bands in Britain.”

Stan Hetherington, who organises the Wokingham Festival, said: “Their live performance is to be held in awe, purely in anticipation of the live operatic architecture they consistently unfurl upon their willing audiences.

“Having invaded venues ranging from

Animal Corner with Gemma Davidson

CAN you offer these adorable animals a loving forever home? Each week, we team up with the folk at Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre in Nelsons Lane, Hurst, to try to find new homes for the animals currently in their care

TROY, MAVE AND THOMAS THESE five-month-old puppies were handed in to the rescue with another puppy who has since found a new home.

They are likely to grow into mediumsized adults, and will need plenty of puppy training to bring them up to speed with what they have missed out on so far.

VIOLINIST Joshua Bell is one of the most acclaimed classical musicians of today and he’s coming to the Thames Valley next week.

Renowned for his expressive, elegant, intelligent playing and his deep commitment to bringing the classical tradition to wider audiences, he will be teaming up with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields for the musical feast on Wednesday, March 2.

The programme includes Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony Op.25, Mozart’s Violin Concerto No.4 in D Major and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No.4 in A Major Op.90 Italian.

Bell will play Mozart’s Violin Concerto No.4 and then direct the Academy as they perform the pieces by Prokofiev and Mendelssohn.

And to enhance the audience’s enjoyment of the performance, Mr Bell will give a free pre-concert talk in the

Hexagon’s auditorium from 6.30pm, ahead of the music itself, which starts at 7.30pm.

Speaking in 2014, Mr Bell praised his collaboration with the Academy.

“In the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, with many of its members having had vast experience playing with original instrument bands, I have found the perfect partner – an orchestra that, in my opinion, wonderfully balances an ‘authentic style’ with some of the beauties of ‘modern tradition’,” he said.

Tickets for the show cost from £18 to £34.50. There are a range of concessions available.

Under 18s can enjoy the performance for £6, members of the Reading Arts Classical membership pay £12, as do groups of 10+. And if it’s your first Reading Arts classical concert, you can test drive for £10. n For details, call the box office on 0118 960 6060 or log on www.readingarts.com

They are all very loving, full of fun and eager to learn, they will definite benefit from training classes.

Potential re-homers are asked to carefully consider the responsibility owning a puppy entails, as all too often puppies and dogs end up back at the shelter when their owners just can’t look after them anymore.

Dogs are a lifetime commitment, and will need lots of attention and care as they grow up.

Puppies and young children don’t tend to mix well, so we would be reluctant to home them to a family with youngsters.

For more information on re-homing puppies please visit the DBARC website before offering them a home.

GUINEA PIGS These male baby guinea pigs are the result of a ‘happy accident’ and are looking for new homes from next week.

They will need to be homed in pairs, or as a friend to another male pig.

Could you offer them a loving home? n Could you offer a forever home to any of these animals? If the answer is ‘yes’ then please get in touch with the centre on 0118 934 1122 to make sure the animals

have not already been reserved.

The centre is open everyday between 11am and 1pm, and 2pm and 4pm.

For more information, and to view other animals in need of a home visit www.dbarc.org.uk

AT THE CINEMA

The acoustic couch

Saddening, maddening & not very progressive

Mellotronanism — ‘It rhymes with orange’

Upcoming music with Jody Mc

Look out!

There’s Jam on the Couch THEACOUSTICCOUCH is back with the third Jam on the Couch on Wednesday, March 9 – and I cannot tell you enough how excited I am to see this event grow.

Having the venue in the heart of Bracknell, between the ring road and Market Street and only minutes from Bracknell train station and the newly refurbished Bus Station means superb access for all music lovers.

You can hop on the Lions or catch a train from Wokingham to find us – and we hope you do!

Our Jam on the Couch event is an evening of opportunity for all music lovers, be it a listener or an artist.

The format is laid back and aims to give everyone a chance to join in.

Each month our wonderful host Baz of Sprigganmist and his super supportive family, Maxine, Mum, Aaron and Lady B (Briana) offer up fun and witty banter, while giving every artist the chance to play a song in turn or jam out with other artists and supportive listeners.

As I said, it’s a laid back unplugged evening, in keeping with our ethos of encouraging musicians of all abilities, but we will happily welcome bands wishing to partake.

We just ask for a bit of notice so we can accommodate everyone.

Our bar will be available and we cannot wait to welcome all to this family structured night of tomfoolery.

So leave your troubles at the door and if the mood takes you get yourself on the dance floor!

It takes place from 8pm on Wednesday, March 9, at theacousticcouch venue.

Remember, we’re one stop from Wokingham and a step closer to a growing night of fun and frolics.

It’s just one of a number of musical events we’ve got planned over the comings weeks – have a look at our Facebook page for more. n Find out more at www.facebook. com/Theacousticcouch

Things are happening at theacousticcouch –here’s a preview of one of the bands from a gig night on Saturday, March 5

E Stars: Rebel Wilson, Dakota Johnson

R

EBEL WILSON is too good for this. A talented comedy actress, the Australian funny woman deserves roles that match her considerable abilities, not throwaway, sexist stuff.

The problems with How To Be Single are threefold. One, it masquerades as a feminist film when it’s far from it (why wouldn’t it – don’t you know it’s fashionable to be feminist?); two, it’s not very funny; and, three, it never satisfyingly answers the poser it sets up in its title.

Covering typical rom-com territory, Fifty Shades of Grey’s Dakota Johnson is Alice, a young woman in a long-term relationship who feels suffocated. Her relationship is getting in the way of her life, opportunities and ambitions: she decides to ‘temporarily’ ditch the dude to concentrate on achieving.

New colleague and friend of her sister, the irreverent Robin (Wilson), convinces her that what she needs is to sleep with random men, and promptly takes her out on the pull. Meanwhile, Alice’s older sister, Meg (Leslie Mann), a midwife dedicated to her career and singledom, faces a crisis of her own when she finally wakes up to the fact that she wants a baby – but won’t admit to either wanting or needing a guy in the picture.

So far, so all about guys. Despite its protestations, this movie’s raison d’être seems to be to ‘prove’ that women’s lives revolve around men. Comprised of stereotype after stereotype when it comes to women characters, it gives in enthusiastically to the standard rom-com principles it purports to turn on their head.

Wilson is the ‘car crash’ confirmed single lady banging her way through New York, while Leslie Mann is the bitter and twisted older woman who eventually finds happiness submitting to society’s ‘ideals’, where woman settles down with man and baby. Alice, meanwhile, is the insipid, supposed point of identification for the female audience who, when she’s not pining for her ex, is craving some kind of male attachment.

You simply can’t imagine the same premise working with or for men – and this is the film’s litmus test. Someone should make this film, in actual fact, because it would be a lot better than the female version, and would actually be subversive.

How To Be Single gives life to yet another ‘chick flick’ that declares women’s lives to revolve around romantic love and boys.

Directed by a man, Christian Ditter, and co-written by another man, Marc Silverstein (responsible, with his female writing partner Abby Kohn, for scripts such as the depressing He’s Just Not That Into You and the vomit-inducing Valentine’s Day), it may come as little surprise. But it is both saddening and maddening that the strides apparently made by the woman-centric (flawed) feminist vehicle Bridesmaids have had so little apparent impact five years on.

So what does How To Be Single teach us? That the best way to be single, for a woman, is to bide her time thinking about men before the next eligible bachelor comes along.

How very progressive. And it’s not even funny.

Oil City Kings (above) are headling a gig at The Acoustic Couch –and Mellotronanism will be providing the support

Britpop band Parade, with whom he released The Beach EP in 1998. Since then through various collaborations with Terry, he met Ed and the XTC tribute Fossil Fools was active from 2010-12. Until recently Matt performed in the blues outfit Rain Dawgs.

Matt’s love of prog started when he was 10 when he happened upon his dad’s record and tape collection, indulging in Camel and Genesis.

Matt says: “The Mellotronanism project is a modern twist on prog rock and I’m looking forward to us debuting it at The Acoustic Couch.”

Terry Arnett, on drums and backing vocals, has been gigging since 1985 when he was with The Mystery Guests, playing electro pop, then through Danny Gray, played with WorldSpin and The New Breed.

Around 1991 he met Matt and was involved in the embryonic stage of one of Danny’s other projects – Parade!

He also played with Britpop band Planet Sunday (with Matt) and Sai and the Band Of Souls, whose bass player went on to Parade!

After two years with Brit Funk band YCB he co-formed The Fuzzy Warblers, an XTC tribute band, later joined by Ed. Fossil Fools was dubbed “The official XTC tribute band” by

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

XTC guitarist Dave Gregory.

During this time, he also played (along with Ed, Matt and guitarist Mark Robson of Oil City Kings) with the Dandy Highwayman (New Romantics) and the 20th Century Boys (60s, 70s, 80s and 90s).

Terry’s indulgence into prog stems from his love of Genesis/ Brand X, Allan Holdsworth, Yes and King Crimson.

He says: “Mellotronanism is a lovely chance to broaden my horizons after playing in so many genres of music, but now with a touch of Prog magic.”

You can catch them debuting at theacousticcouch on Saturday, March 5, with three other brilliant acts; Horizon (mentioned last year in our column), Morrison (a favourite duo of theacousticcouch) and the headliners Oil City Kings, who are one of the great bands supporting the vision for our venue, which is in Bracknell on Market Street.

Mellotronanism will also be supporting a gig in aid of Great Ormond Street over the Easter weekend at the same venue. n Oil City Kings @ The Acoustic Couch with suport from Mellotronanism and Horizon on Saturday, March 5 from 8pm. Entry is free, donations welcome.

How To Be Single (15) «««««

D PERCIVAL was lead singer and songwriter for Airbridge, one of the leading bands of the neo-progressive era.

The band released the Paradise Moves album in 1982 and was a regular on the prog circuit with several shows at the Marquee.

Their single Words and Pictures, was even selected as a Desert Island disc.

A second album based on Ed’s songs remained unreleased upon the band’s break-up in 1983.

After a 17 year gap, Ed’s mid-life crisis lead him back into music and he spent a decade alternating playing and singing in XTC tribute bands (among others) and performing as the UK’s leading Noddy Holder tribute. After many years and many, many gigs being someone else, Ed is now dedicated to being an authentic version of himself.

Mellotronanism is an outlet for Ed’s music, using some his material from his younger years and many new ones inspired by playing with his best friends in music – Matt and Terry.

Ed says: “Prog magazine featured my old band in a ‘where are they now’ feature and I wasn’t where they thought I was. So I thought I ought to be somewhere I wanted to be.”

Matt Bell, the group’s bass guitar and backing vocalist, has been in various bands over the past two decades.

These include Planet Sunday (with Terry) and the Mod revival

Bison trample over Bees’ faint play-off dreams Bracknell Bees 3 Basingstoke Bison 5 ALEX METTAM admitted Bracknell fell “just a bit short” in their efforts to try and topple league leaders Basingstoke on Sunday.

Defeat at the Hive in a game which Bees one point led 2-1, along with a 3-2 win for Manchester Phoenix over MK Lightning on the same day means any outside hopes of making the play-offs have now been extinguished.

Josh Smith, Vanya Antonov and Carl Graham were all on target for Bracknell, but it was a Ciaran Long hat-trick and strikes from Tomas Karpov and Declan Balmer which saw Bison to a win which extended their lead at the top of the standings to eight points.

“It was a tough game and everybody tried hard,” said netminder Mettam, who once again pulled off a number of vital saves to prevent Basingstoke from adding to their final tally.

“We fell behind early on, but to get up to 2-1 we looked good, but unfortunately they were always going to push in that second period and got a couple of goals and we were then chasing the game and that is always going to be hard to get back in it.

“Luckily we have not been blown out by anyone this year. Everyone has worked hard and that is because we have not quit and not thrown in the towel.

“Obviously they (Basingstoke) are a good team and play a very good solid game and are top for a reason, but we held our own against them, as we have done all season against all of the teams, but we were just a bit short unfortunately.”

One of Mettam’s first tasks on the night was to scoop the puck out of his net. This was after Long had opened the scoring through a strike from over on the left with the contest just 69 seconds old.

It looked as though the shot had taken a deflection via a team-mate as it made its way past the goaltender, but the forward was credited with the goal.

Bracknell, however, were to crack

Bees’ James Galazzi gets away from Basingstoke Bison’s Luke Reynolds Picture: Ian Coughlan

up the entertainment levels witnessed during the early exchanges a notch when Smith swept home the equaliser just 46 seconds later.

The strike was engineered by player-coach Lukas Smital, who set off on a trademark surge down the wing before squaring the puck to his unmarked team-mate, who took a touch before coolly stroking a shot beyond Job Baston in the Bison goal.

The minutes which succeeded this explosive start failed to live up to expectations as both sides began to get a feel for one another.

But it was following both teams falling into penalty trouble when Bracknell turned the contest on its head.

Following Josh Tetlow and Basingstoke’s Long, both for crosschecking, into the box was the visitors’ Kurt Reynolds, who was punished for a holding of the stick offence.

This left Bees on a four-v-three power

play, and they duly took advantage.

But they had to be patient.

The trio of Smital, Jan Bendik and Antonov all saw a number of phases broken down by stubborn opposition.

However, another Bendik pass sprayed out to Antonov over on the right hand side presented the young forward with a sight of goal, and he would make no mistake when firing between Baston and his near post for a 2-1 lead.

It was just desserts for Bracknell, who were now taking the game to their local rivals – and they were unlucky not to grab a third when James Galazzi broke clear.

Having stolen in just short of centre ice, the forward set off for goal, but could only drag his shot wide when well placed.

Despite the miss, Bees would head into the first break holding a slender advantage, thanks only to both Mettam and the ironwork, however.

The ‘keeper did well to thwart both Joe Baird and Aaron Connolly from close

range before the latter rattled a post when letting fly from just inside the blue line.

Bracknell’s goal continued to live a charmed life once play resumed after the break, but the session was just a little over two minutes old when the scores were tied once more.

A host side missing defenceman Lewis Turner though injury were found wanting down their left side, where Czech forward Karpov did well to work himself into space before firing across Mettam and into the opposite corner.

Hooking an opponent saw Smital having to sit out two minutes soon after, but as did his victim, Miroslav Vantroba, who was deemed to have made the most of the incident and was binned for embellishment.

The following two minutes went without reward for either side, but it was a devastating counter attack produced by the Bison midway through the stanza which saw the visitors grab the lead for a second time.

Working the puck out to the right and with the opposition stretched, Long was to produce the telling touch when converting an accurate pass from close range with Mettam committed.

Basingstoke were almost in a fourth too just moments later.

Mettam was to come racing out of his crease to swallow up a dumped puck, only to be robbed of possession with his unattended goal gaping.

The chance to score fell to former Bee Matt Towalski, but with players racing back the angles tightened up.

The forward did well to shirk off an attempted interception – only to see his eventual strike at goal blocked by Antonov on the line.

It would prove to be a pivotal miss, too, because Graham was soon making it 3-3.

And it was a goal which was to catch most by surprise, both Graham and Batson included.

For the D-man’s drive from the blue line appeared to be a routine save for the netminder, but the puck was to squirm

under his grasp and trickle into the net.

It looked as though Bees had now done enough to remain on level terms heading into the final period.

Such hopes, however, were dashed when Balmer produced a stunning strike from the point for a 4-3 lead. In finding the net, the centre managed to avoid a clutch of bodies in front of him, with the puck flashing over the shoulder of Mettam and into the top shelf.

Conceding so late in the period was clearly a blow for the hosts, yet they were to be hit by a sucker punch early in the final stanza.

This is because Long would complete his hat-trick when making it 5-3 after a team-mate had to take a too-many-men minor.

Instead of trying to defend their own goal, the table-toppers went and attacked the other, albeit through some brilliant individual play by Karpov.

A determined run took the player down the left wing and around the goal, where he held off an opponent before unselfishly cutting the puck back for Long to complete the hat-trick goal with a simple finish.

While defeat leaves Bees only playing for pride between now and the end of the regular season, it was another harsh lesson for the side, who racked up just 15 shots on goal during the second and third sessions, compared to the 29 unleashed by the Bison.

Bees remain bottom of the table on 20 points ahead of a double header with Manchester Phoenix this weekend, with the first taking place at The Hive on Saturday (6pm).

Sharp-shooter Jon hits the target as Sonning Men hold the league leaders to a draw A GOAL from Jon Sharp saw Sonning Men pick up a point from a creditable 1-1 draw with MBBO Regional Division 2 leaders Milton Keynes 2s (pictured).

David Breuilly was on target for the Buckinghamshire side at Berkshire County Sports.

The result leaves Sonning in fifth place on 27 points, where they sit six off the promotion places.

Sonning 2s, though, slipped to a surprise 4-3 reverse away at struggling Ashford 2s in Division 1, while there was no joy for the club’s 3rd XI, either.

The team remains rooted in relegation trouble after they were thumped 8-1 at Abingdon, for whom Will Trigg hit a hat-

trick and Hugo Audley-Miller scored twice.

Connor Blakey, Ben Brazel and Will Green were also on target for the hosts, with Alex Littleboy’s strike a mere consolation for the villagers.

Ian Ta struck for Sonning 4s during their game with Amersham and Chalfont 2s in Division 4.

A trio of goals from Warren Pereira, however, Pete Oram’s brace and Richard Martin’s effort saw the visitors run out 6-1 winners and leave the opposition rooted to the foot of the standings.

Down in Division 8 West, Sonning 5s remain five points clear of closest rivals Oxford 7s after the leaders inflicted a

4-1 defeat on Oxford Hawks, while the 5S enjoyed a comfortable 5-0 success against Bicester Development in Division 9 West.

The same scoreline was witnessed when Thame 3s and Sonning 7s clashed, but it was the latter side on the wrong end of the result.

Sonning Ladies KRISTIN COOPER, Claire Hickey and Katie Pake were among those hitting the backboard as Sonning Ladies outscored Amersham and Chalfont to move within a point of second place.

The side won this second-plays-third encounter in Trysports Premier 1 at the Royal Masonic School 4-3.

An inter-club clash between the Ladies and the 2s was postponed on Wednesday night due to a frozen pitch.

The 3s went down to Oxford

University Ladies in a 3-1 reverse in Division 1, where they remain bottom of the pile - which is the same position the Veterans occupy in Division 4.

In their latest outing, away at midtable Windsor 2s, the side were defeated 4-0.

Wokingham Hockey Club MIKE AMOR, Dave Badger and Ryan Kaley got the goals which saw Wokingham Men 2s produce arguably the result of the weekend in Division 3 of the MBBO League.

For the side, away at leaders Gerrards Cross, produced an impressive 3-2 win.

Alex Cole got both goals for the hosts, but it was not enough.

Victory for Wokingham moved them away from trouble and up to seventh.

A solitary strike from Dan Lindars was enough for promotion-chasing Aylesbury to get the better of struggling

Wokingham in Regional Division 2, but the clubs third team had a game to forget.

Division 7 leaders Maidenhead Magicians were the visitors to Cantley Park, and they were the head home celebrating a 7-1 victory.

Away at Guildford Gondoliers in the Wessex Supervets Fixtures Alliance, Wokingham Vets suffered a 9-4 loss.

Tigers test looms, but Irish are not panicking, says Ojo LEICESTER TIGERS v LONDON IRISH AVIVA PREMIERSHIP WELFORD ROAD SUNDAY – 3PM

STRUGGLING London Irish need not panic just yet, says Topsy Ojo. Sunday’s 22-15 reverse against Exeter Chiefs at Madejski Stadium, along with wins for both Worcester Warriors and Newcastle Falcons over the weekend, leave Exiles five points adrift at the foot of the Aviva Premiership table.

Ojo, who bagged a wonder try during the loss, however, believes the team has what it takes to get out of this current predicament.

But the 30-year-old is of the opinion the side does needs to be more clinical going forward, though.

“Ultimately there is still a lot of points to play for,” said Irish’s leading try scorer.

“But we don’t need to panic. Things are difficult at the moment, but we are still only one win away from those around us in the table, so we need to stay as positive as we can be, continue to show the attacking intent produced at the weekend and hopefully try and put some points on the board.

“The alarm bells are not ringing just yet and we remain focused on the next game.”

Exiles saw a number of opportunities to build on an early lead last Sunday go begging, and it was to prove costly as title-chasing Exeter hit back to leave the hosts with only a losing bonus-point for their efforts.

“We started really well,” added Ojo. “We created some great opportunities in the first half and should have put a lot more points on the board, but Exeter came back and our discipline wasn’t great and we ended up punished.

“It was one of our best performances of the season, so it was a difficult result to take, but we need to be trying to get five or seven points ahead of teams and take the game to them, because two or three is not proving to be enough.”

Topsy Ojo ran in a wonder try against Exeter

Up next for Irish is a trip to Leicester Tigers, where Ojo and co will be attempting to secure a first win on the road this season.

Welford Road has been notoriously unkind to the visitors over the years, too – although Exiles did bag a memorable 22-19 success on their last visit to the stadium.

Ojo said: “It was the first time in my career I had won at Welford Road and it was a huge moment.

“It is a tough place to go and having lost to Harlequins at the weekend I expect them to attack us up front, and with Manu Tuilagi back it is going to be a big test.

“We need to be bold in our approach and have a real good go at them.

Theo Brophy Clews nudged the hosts Woodburn, who had threatened to race

in from some 80 metres after the winger had intercepted a looping pass.

He was eventually stopped by a last-ditch ankle tap and Irish’s slender lead remained.

The one point separating the two sides, however, would soon become four when Brophy Clews, another to have impressed having been handed a start by Coventry, cleared the posts from the tee.

A game of fine margins, however, would see the Chiefs go ahead for the first time when replacement scrum-half Dave Lewis followed up another Steenson penalty moments earlier when forcing his way through a gap in the Irish defence and touched down for a score Steenson improved.

Losing Nagle to the sin-bin would prove costly too, as the Chiefs’ fly-half nailed the resulting penalty to put the side nine points in front.

But back came the opposition – Ojo in particular – and in some style, too.

Having shuffled his way out of a ruck, the club’s all-time leading try scorer was to add to his tally when racing the length of the field before crossing the gain line in the far corner.

The scoreboard now read 19-15 in favour of the Exiles as those present awaited Brophy Clews’ conversion.

The 18-year-old however, was unable to add the extra two points from out on the touchline, although Irish still had some 10 minutes to try and claw back the deficit.

But Steenson proved to be the scourge once again, punting over a fifth penalty of the afternoon to leave the home side urgently in need of a win to avoid falling further adrift of those around them at the wrong end of the standings.

Cornish All Blacks (Launceston) 0 Redingensians Rams 34

MIKE TEWKESBURY praised his clinical Redingensians after they cruised to a fourth league win on the spin.

Leading the scoring for the rampant Rams was Robbie Stapley, who dabbed down twice, with Jamie Guttridge, Samir Kharbouch, Conor Corrigan and Sean McDermottroe also celebrating tries as the visitors picked up the maximum five points.

“We were quite clinical,” said head coach Tewkesbury afterwards.

“It was a job well done. Our driving play against the wind in the first half was the right tactic.

“After the break we started well but probably lost our momentum later on when we made changes” Tewkesbury also praised his charges for playing well in “tiring” conditions.

The coach added: “In places the pitch was like a bog. If it had been a horse race meeting, it would have been called off.”

Battering the struggling All Blacks up front and in both the scrummaging

and mauling departments would result in the away side opening up a 12-0 lead come the interval.

But they did have to be patient, as Launceston’s rearguard was not to be breached until midway through the half.

Winning a line out close to the hosts’ gain line would eventually result in Jamie Guttridge crashing over following several phases.

Stapley (pictured left) would open his account on the stroke of halftime.

Breaking away from a five-metre scrum would see the No.8 dot down for a try which Jamar Richardson, who had taken over kicking duties in the absence of injured Spike Chandler, make the conversion.

Although the contest was now some 40 minutes old, the visitors were only just getting started, with the All Blacks shipping in another four tries in the second session.

Just three minutes after the restart Kharbouch strolled through the opposition defence to score, with Richardson once again adding the extras.

This was followed up by Corrigan going over in the 51st minute, with the blindside try arriving from another five metre scrum.

Now running riot and with the bonus point firmly in the bag, swift hands presented McDermottroe with an opportunity to cross the line – which he duly accepted.

Stapley would complete the scoring with just over a quarter of the game remaining, with the player again profiting from good work in a short yardage scrum.

With the game finished as a contest a long time ago, Rams would bring the contest to a successful conclusion by going through the motions.

And with the defence well organised the hosts, who sit bottom of National League 2 South with not a single league win to their name all season, never once looked like breaching the unit.

While an impressive all-round team performance on the road, the back row of Kharbouch, Tom Vooght and Stapley all shone once again, while Guttridge again grabbed the all-important opening try.

‘Roland is ruining Charlton’ CHARLTON ATHLETIC v READING SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP THE VALLEY SATURDAY – 3PM

Yann Kermorgant

By LEWIS RUDD lrudd@wokinghampaper.co.uk YANN KERMORGANT is keen to give Charlton fans and owner Roland Duchatelet a timely reminder of his scoring abilities.

Reading’s 34-year-old January signing struck 29 times for the club during a four-year stay in south London, where he helped the Addicks to the League 1 title back in 2012.

The Frenchman has yet to open his account for Royals following his switch from AFC Bournemouth earlier in the year, but is no doubt keen to end the wait against his former employers.

While his time with Charlton holds many fond memories for the striker, Kermorgant has hit out at the club’s hierarchy, whom he described as “deluded”.

These are not happy times at The Valley, with troubles both on and off the pitch.

Not only do the team sit rock bottom of the table and seven points from safety, but some of the decisions made

by Duchatelet, who took control prior to Kermorgant’s switch to the south coast in 2014, have resulted in many protests and demonstrations from supporters.

And speaking ahead of his return, Royals’ recent recruit revealed he was keen to sign a new contract, only to change his mind when talking to the board.

He said: “I’m gutted because I think they have wasted the club.

“When I left I didn’t really want to leave, I wanted to sign a new deal, long term. I thought it would happen with the new owner, and finally when I had my first meeting with them I found it was completely different and the vision for me was completley deluded.

“They didn’t know too much about football and the position, so I felt it was wrong and they would be in trouble because that is not how it works in football. It’s different to run a business and a football club, and it looked like the position was a bit weird.

“I can see two years after why they are where they are and I think it was the right decision to leave the club. Now they are bottom of the league I cannot see them not being relegated this season.”

While clearly disappointed at Charlton’s plight, Kermorgant is more focused on helping Reading finish the season strongly – and netting that elusive first goal.

“If you carry on working hard and keep believeing and work hard on the pitch, it will come,” added the forward.

“Maybe in the next three games I will score one in each game, football is like that. For a striker, confidence is important.

“Last season I finished on fire and was scoring almost every game for the last five or 10 games, but after that I have not been involved and not been given my chance in the Premier League.

“I’ve started playing again, and I feel good, so now I just need a goal, but if we win and I don’t score but give something to the team then I don’t mind.

“I will score on Saturday if I can, definiately.”

Robson-Kanu ends one Hal of a wait for league win Reading 1 Rotherham United 0

BRIAN McDERMOTT admitted it was “job done” after Hal Robson-Kanu fired Reading to a first win in the Championship since the turn of the year, writes LEWIS RUDD. It was a timely moment for the Welshman to net his first league goal of the campaign, which was to arrive when sweeping home a Yann Kermorgant pass on 66 minutes, as it was to end a domestic run of seven games without victory for the Royals dating back to January 2.

The goal was the only bright spark in a contest which lacked quality, as a Rotherham side who arrived at Madejski Stadium on Tuesday night languishing in the relegation zone were keen to try and lure the opposition into a scrap.

For their troubles, however, the Millers would pick up five bookings in the space of just 20-odd first-half minutes and finish on the wrong end of the result.

The game was not one for the “connoisseur” as McDermott described it afterwards, but the Reading manager was, nonetheless, happy to come away with all three points.

“It was a really tough game,” he said.

“They made it really difficult as we would expect and it was a moment of class which won us the game.

“It was important to win, obviously, and it is important to get to where we need to get to and clean sheets help, they really do, so it is a good night for us.

“It wasn’t a great spectacle, but we have come out on the right side of the result, which is really important.

“There are 46 games and you will have games like that, and in those games previously we have come out on the wrong side of the result.

Hal RobsonKanu struck the winner on 66 minutes.

Picture: Vivienne Johnson

“(On Tuesday) we have come out on the right side of it, which is most important, so it is job done.”

McDermott made two changes to the side which had dumped West Brom out of the FA Cup just a few days earlier.

Out went Deniss Rakels and Simon Cox, with Ola John and Kermorgant, who missed the clash with the Baggies as he was cup tied, handed starts.

And although often cutting an isolated figure up front, the best two chances of the first half would fall to the Frenchman.

The first would arrive when meeting an Oliver Norwood header from a corner.

Kermorgant did well to divert the flag kick towards the far post, only to see United’s Jonson Clarke-Harris chest the ball out to safety.

The January arrival went even closer to opening his account for the club minutes later, but was off target with a volley from an inviting Robson-Kanu centre.

While tidy in possession, Rotherham rarely threatened before the break – yet they did cause a moment of panic when

Grant Ward did well to turn a Greg Halford flick-on towards goal.

It looked as though the player had done enough to squeeze the ball inside the post, but Reading ‘keeper Ali Al Habsi did well to scramble across his line and tip the chance away for a corner.

The fixture would remain a cagey affair, but was to be settled just after the hour mark.

Just seconds after his introduction as a substitute, Rakels was making his presence felt.

Running on to a Kermogant pass, the Latvian skipped off down the right flank before cutting the ball back to the same player who, in turn, laid on Robson-Kanu, who produced a tidy first-time finish into the corner.

While victory stretched Royals’ unbeaten run on home soil to eight games, it also saw the club record a fourth clean sheet in five games – and a third shut out in succession in the league.

“I think it is important to build from the back,” added McDermott.

“We have done that in the past here and we want to build a side which keeps clean sheets, is solid, doesn’t concede and we have done that again tonight.

“The boys have stood up to Rotherham and it was a difficult night, but we have come through it and I’m delighted with the boys’ resilience.”

FA CUP

McShane toasts magic of the cup as Royals march on Reading 3 West Bromwich Albion 1

“THIS IS what you’re in football for,” said a delighted Paul McShane after he captained Reading to a memorable upset in the FA Cup. The Royals skipper celebrated a goal against one of his former club’s when cancelling out Darren Fletcher’s second-half opener for Premier League side West Brom.

Further strikes from Michael Hector and substitute Lucas Piazon wrapped up victory for the Championship outfit, meaning McShane will lead Reading out looking for another Premiership scalp when Crystal Palace visit Madejski Stadium next month.

“This is what you’re in football for,” said the defender.

“You want to go and achieve as much as you can – we want to get to Wembley in the semi-final again, and to go a step further and reach the final this year.

“From a season that looks like it has not gone the way we’ve wanted, it could now end up being a memorable season.

“So hopefully we can do that.”

As Republic of Ireland international McShane described, the cup has once again provided a welcome distraction from what has become another difficult campaign in the league, with Royals potentially just one game away from successive Wembley semi-finals.

There were two changes to the Reading side from that which started the goalless draw with Burnley the weekend before.

Yann Kermorgant was cup tied, with Deniss Rakels handed his first start in his absence. He was joined up top by Simon Cox in the other replacement.

And it was the latter who set up the hosts’ best chance of the first half, with McShane sending his lay-off just wide of a post.

Albion’s Chris Brunt, who was stuck by a coin thrown from the stand containing visiting supporters after the game, went closest for the away side, but his free-kick flashed harmlessly over the bar.

There was nothing to separate the

two sides going in at the break, but that was to change when Fletcher nudged the West Midlanders in front on 54 minutes.

Receiving the ball inside the Reading penalty box, the former Manchester United midfielder took a touch before guiding a strike across home ‘keeper Ali Al Habsi and into the far corner.

But Tony Pulis’ men would not hold the advantage for long, as a foul on Jordan Obita yielded a free-kick which Oliver Norwood swung over for McShane to head beyond Ben Foster for his first goal in the club’s colours.

It was from a similar scenario when Reading went ahead in the 72nd minute.

Fouled in an inviting position on this occasions was substitute Ola John, with dead-ball specialist Norwood again whipping over an inviting cross to the far post, where Hector was on hand to hold off the challenge of Jonas Olsson and guide the ball home.

Naturally, West Brom threw men forward as they looked for a way back into the tie, and twice came close to grabbing an equaliser.

Saido Berahino was wide with a header from a Fletcher flick-on from a corner before the latter met another centre with a volley, which flew straight into the welcoming arms of Al Habsi.

Time was now running out for the away side, but there was still enough in the game for the opposition to hit a deserved third.

This arrived in stoppage time and from an expertly-produced

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL

counter attack.

John and another replacement, Matej Vydra, exchanged passes – albeit after the striker made a run for the corner flag – with the former squaring for Piazon.

Upon steadying himself, the on-loan Chelsea man, who was also introduced from the bench, fired low beyond Foster to complete a satisfactory afternoon for Brian McDermott’s men, who now await the visit of Alan Pardew’s Palace on the weekend of March 12.

The win also extended Royals’ unbeaten run over the Baggies on home soil to 11 games, a sequence which stretches back 21 years to January 1995.

“It’s a good feeling to come out of that game with a win,” added McShane.

“When they went 1-0 up, I always felt as though we could get back into the game.

“I thought we were the better team throughout. We played some good stuff and we had a good bit of possession.

THAMES VALLEY FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Moss’ double helps Wargrave to a Stu-pendous victory over Barkham STUART MOSS scored twice for a Wargrave side which pulled away from trouble in Division 2 with an impressive win at Barkham Athletic, writes LEWIS RUDD. Substitute William Stagg was also on target during a 3-0 success at Cantley Park.

Victory moved the villagers up to seventh, where they sit on 15 points, while Barkham remain fifth and missed the chance to close the gap on the top four.

SONNING, meanwhile, were unable to build on a useful point picked up the previous weekend when away at league leaders Westwood United Reserves.

Goals from Clive Akem-Che and Anwar Whight proved to be in vain for the division’s bottom club, who were beaten 4-2.

Thomas Bullion, Michael Greenwood, Roger Humphreys and replacement Chris Bark all struck for United.

HURST were sadly no match for Premier Division table toppers Marlow United.

A Daniel Pearson brace and James Hollidge effort proved scant consolation for the away side, who shipped in eight goals at East Park Farm.

Hurst were outscored by Andrew Nichol, who found the net four times.

He was joined on the scoresheet

by Liam Bushay and Oliver Flint, who converted a penalty.

Aaron Williams had an afternoon to forget, as he was twice to put the ball through his own net.

A solitary strike from Richard Summers on 15 minutes was enough to see Woodcote Stoke Row take the points from a 1-0 triumph at BERKS COUNTY, who remain 10th after a 13th reverse of the season.

WARGRAVE RESERVES and Unity swapped places in Division 3 after the latter claimed a 4-2 victory at Cintra Park.

A Stanslaus Manoah double led the way for Unity, with Clifford Alleyne and Gregg Joseph ensuring victory for the hosts in this eighth-played-ninth contest.

Wargrave hit back through Adam Hawkins and Richard Jones, but defeat leaves the side just one place off the bottom.

A clash at the opposite end of the standings between White Eagles and FINCHAMPSTEAD RESERVES was abandoned.

Charlie Scope and HURST A had an afternoon to remember.

For the team gave the top three in Division 5 plenty to think about when rattling 11 goals without reply past struggling Baughurst AFC Reserves to close the gap.

Scope blasted in a double hat-trick against the basement boys, and there was to be no holding up either from the visitors.

Through an Andrew Prosser treble and further strikes from Asher Price and Taylor Williams stepping up off the bench, Hurst racked up a double figure of goals.

The result leaves Hurst fourth, but they now sit just three points off second and boast three games in hand on their rivals.

Just a point behind them, however, sit SONNING SPORTS. Strikes in both halves from Kevin Pitt and replacement Liam Richardson saw the side to a 2-1 victory at Goring United Reserves.

William Jaycock put the hosts on the board, but they were unable to find an equaliser.

Cup round-up WOODLEY UNITED A cruised into the semi-finals of the Berkshire Trophy Centre Junior Cup following a 4-1 win at Burghfield.

Alex Ray popped up with two goals and was joined in finding the back of the net

by Tom Barratt and Nathan Bingham.

Billy Margetts hit a consolation for the home side.

They will face either FC Reading Dons or SHINFIELD RANGERS MEN, who have Phillip Goundry to thank for booking the team a place in the quarter-finals.

It was his goal on 55 minutes which would settle their game with Highmoor Knights at Laurel Park.

Rangers, however, would have to see out the game with just 10 men after substitute Callum Finlay was sent off eight minutes from time.

HARCHESTER HAWKS held their nerve to win a penalty shoot out which secured their place in the last four of the same competition.

The Earley side had traded eight goals with Maidenhead Magpies Reserves after 120 minutes, meaning the game would be settled from the spot.

The Hawks had found the net through a Dan Leather brace, Dan Adkins and Stuart Niker.

Nathan Lishman also scored twice, with Mark Knight and Sam Stevens also netting as the Magpies kept things interesting.

YOUTH FOOTBALL

United’s Rosie rattles in a hat-trick Five-star Woodfield fires Sumas to victory in goal-fest Mansfield Road 2 Woodley United 5

ROSIE PAGE-SMITH hit a hat-trick to help Woodley take the points upon their return to action in the Premier Division of the Southern Region Women’s Football League.

Bonnie Messitt and Ellen Surtees were also on target for the visitors, who took to the field for the first time in over a month.

It was also just a third game for the club since mid-December.

Page-Smith was to open the scoring on the half-hour mark through a 20-yard drive before Messitt doubled the advantage when turning home a Surtees cross from close range at the second attempt soon after.

Despite only having 10 players

available, Holly Bridge pulled a goal back in first-half stoppage time before Lucie Bowden tied up the scores on 47 minutes.

The university team, however, would soon start to tire, with the opposition fully exploiting the situation.

Having weathered a storm whipped up by the hosts, the lead was regained when Mollie Haines went to ground in the box, with Page-Smith converting the resulting penalty.

Rosie would complete a trio of goals 17 minutes from time, with Haines claiming the assist.

Surtees would round off a good performance on the road from Woodley when finishing a probing run with goal number five on 80 minutes.

Victory moved United up to sixth in the table ahead of the reverse fixture at Henley Town FC this Sunday (2pm).

CALUM WOODFIELD rattled in five goals for a Wokingham and Emmbrook FC Under-15 Blacks side which ran out 7-5 winners over Ascot United in Division One of the East Berkshire Football Alliance.

There was nothing to separate the two rivals at half-time, who traded six goals during a pulsating opening to the fixture.

Woodfield would net two of these, with Casey Starke also on target, only for United to punish some defensive lapses and remain in the game.

The goal-fest continued after the break, with captain Ben Cook putting the Sumas 4-3 ahead just minutes after the restart before Woodfield completed the hat-trick.

Rhys Williams played in Woodfield to hit his fourth of the game and stretch the advantage to 6-3, but Ascot soon reduced the arrears.

A fine solo run would lead to

man-of-the-match Woodfield hitting his fifth, although a late United free-kick would wrap up the scoring.

Under-16s GOALS from Alfie Andrews and George Armstrong booked Eversley and California a place in the final of the Hampshire County Cup. The young Boars were 2-1 winners over Havant and Waterlooville in Saturday’s semi-final.

Andrews broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time with a lobbed finish.

Penetrating a high Havant back line would see Armstrong nip in and double the advantage midway through the second half.

It was game on once more when the opposition pulled a goal back, but Eversley held firm in the remaining 10 minutes to book their place in a silverware showdown.

READING SENIOR CUP

Scope has fun at the YMCA as cup defence continues Reading YMCA 3 Wokingham and Emmbrook 6 WOKINGHAM and Emmbrook finally got the better of bogey side Reading YMCA, with Luke Scope scoring twice in a comfortable victory at Padworth Lane.

Elliott Rushforth, Sam Bateman, Jake Butler and substitute Darren Thorne were also on target as the Sumas set up a quarter-final date with local rivals Binfield in the Reading Senior Cup. “I was happy with the result and delighted with the lads,” said joint-manager Matt Eggleston.

“We took our goals very well but could have been a bit more clinical.

“The scoreline probably flattered them (YMCA), as I thought we always looked the better side.”

Although struggling in the Hellenic Premier Division, Wokingham and Emmbrook are defending Senior Cup champions – and are looking to lift the crown for a fifth year running.

The Young Men had beaten their guests on the previous two occasions, with the latter being in the final of the Berks and Bucks Intermediate Cup. But they would find the opposition far too strong on this occasion, although

Loyal Sumas supporter Bill Aulsberry dies aged 91 LOYAL Wokingham and Emmbrook supporter Bill Aulsberry has died aged 91.

Aulsberry, who was the grandfather of former Sumas goalkeeper Garry Aulsberry, was taken unwell when watching an Under-17s fixture between Reading and Wexford at the Royals’ Hogwood Park training complex.

He was treated by the club’s medical staff before being taken to Royal Berkshire Hospital, where he later passed away.

Known for his love of the club and an occasional word or two for a referee, Aulsberry had been following Wokingham Town and latterly Wokingham and Emmbrook since the early 1980s.

He had been present at fixtures recently, too.

Away from the club, Bill was also a season ticket holder at London Irish.

His funeral will be held at Easthampstead Crematorium on March 23, at 1.30pm.

HELLENIC DIVISION 1 EAST

Odusanya sees red as Woodley are left Town and out Henley Town 3 Woodley United 1

RICHARD BENNETT, Andrew Nunn and Grant Kemp from the penalty spot struck the goals which saw United beaten at the Invesco Perpetual Triangle on Tuesday night.

Rupen Limbu (pictured) would hit an equaliser, but a visiting side which had to play out the second half with just 10 men following Seun Odusanya’s red card for an elbow would succumb to defeat.

With Reading Town’s results now expunged following their reisgnation from the competition, United sit four points adrift of Old Woodstock Town at the bottom of the Hellenic Division 1 East standings.

Yet the performance produced midweek was an encouraging one, leaving those connected with the club hopeful fortunes are on on the turn.

The visitors, though, would get off to a disastrous start, with the contest just three minutes old when Bennett saw his cross from the left loop up and over Ben Hitchins in the Woodley goal for a 1-0 lead.

But the away side responded well and were level just seven minutes later.

Limbu was the man on target, with the winger showing great awareness to intercept a clearance from Henley shot-stopper Dimitrios Kyriatzis and roll the ball into an empty net.

There was little to separate the two rivals as the half progressed, but Woodley defenders Brad Hoy and Ollie Bridges

would both have to tread carefully after each picked up yellow cards.

And sensing such vulnerbilities, Henley began to turn the screw and after overwhelming the midfield, would regain the lead when Nunn headed home a corner at the near post.

Things, however, would take another turn for the worse minutes later when striker Odusanya was dismissed.

But United would rally in his absence, with a reshuffle during the break and the introduction of Tyrone May from the bench helping matters.

And a glorious opportunity to equalise would fall the way of the substitute shortly after the interval, but he would shoot wide after a probing run.

Wareing would also send a header into the hands of Kyriatzis, with the chance arriving soon after Matt Brookling was narrowly off target with a drive from 20 yards.

In his duties as a defender, however, the full-back would also clear a chance off the line as Town pushed for a third.

Yet it was almost 2-2 when Limbu had another sight of goal, and although getting his shot on target, Kyriatzis was equal to effort diving down to his left.

Opposite number Hitchins was also called into action, producing an acrobatic save to keep out another chance from distance.

But any hopes of trying to snatch something for the game were dashed 14 minutes from time when Bennett was sent tumbling in the box, with Kemp converting the resulting spot kick to seal Henley the points.

WOODLEY UNITED: Hitchins, Brookling, Ticomb (Ingram), Hoy, Bridges, Creegan, Lambert (Szram), Douglas, Oudsanya, May (Wareing), Limbu.

Ruggles named new Boars boss EVERSLEY and California have announced Phil Ruggles as the club’s new first-team manager.

Ruggles has left his post at the Boars’ Combined Counties Division 1 rivals Frimley Green to take up the position, which became vacant following Neville Roche’s resignation earlier in the month.

Ruggles, who has also taken charge of Knaphill in the past, will take his place in the dugout for the first time on Saturday, where South Park Reserves are the visitors to Fox Lane (3pm).

Due to postponements and free weekends, Eversley have not played since thrashing Sheerwater 6-0 on January 23, and have dropped to fourth in the standings as a result.

LIAM FERDINAND’S rich vein of form in front of goal continued when the striker hit a hat-trick at Glevum Park.

Jack Broome and Chris Dean struck either side of their team-mates treble as Binfield, playing on a Saturday afternoon for the first time since December, netted a third win in four games.

Victory also ensured Roger Herridge’s men quickly recovered from the 2-1 loss at league leaders Flackwell Heath earlier in the week.

But his side would have to come from behind to secure the points in Gloucestershire.

The warning signs had been there as Tuffley made a decent start to the contest, which eventually saw them rewarded with the opener.

Jordan Fletcher latched on to a Mark Ford ball into the box and would get the better of Nathan Silver in the Binfield goal with a left foot volley which was helped home via a post.

Ferdinand (pictured), who netted in the defeat against the Heatherns, however, would soon help the visitors level the scores from the penalty spot.

In looking to convert the rebound after his initial shot was saved, the forward was to be upended by Macaulay Herbert and a spot kick was awarded.

Responsibilty from 12 yards belonged to Broome, with the midfielder finishing confidently.

Then, with Rovers’ ‘keeper Aaron Taylor showing hesitancy in coming out to hack away a loose ball in testing conditions, Ferdiannd was to put the visitors in front.

Sensing his moment, the player would make it 2-1 with a low effort.

Goal number three was not far coming for the visitors, either, although it was engineered by some poor defending by the opposition.

Ethan Jerome was tackled out on the left flank, but fortunately for Binfield the ball would end up with a team-mate, whose inviting cross was guided home by Ferdinand.

It was a lead the away side would take into the break and then hold until Dean made it 4-1 on 77 minutes.

It was some finish too from the midfielder.

Despite feint calls around him for hand ball, Dean seized possession from 18 yards out, where he was to side-step a Tuffley defender before sending a rising strike into the top corner.

Although appearing at the time to wrap up the points, Dean’s finish would actually spark a flurry of late goals.

Tuffley would hit back when a clumsy challenge

by Alex Luis on Brett James in the box saw a second penalty awarded.

Despite protests the player went to ground all too easily, James would dust himself down and bury the spot kick and reduce the arrears.

For his involvement in the argument, Silver was shown the yellow card.

Tuffley would now have 10 minutes to try and claw back another two goals, but such efforts were to end in vain.

This is because an instinctive pass from James Knight sent Ferdinand on his way.

Having timed his run to perfection, the hot-shot would complete his treble – a first for the Moles – with a sumptuous finish.

BINFIELD: Silver, O’Connell, Gibbs (Senussi), Broome (R.Brown), Luis (c), A.Walton, Knight, M.Walton, Ferdinand, Jerome, Dean (Carlisle).

n BINFIELD make the short trip to The Memorial Ground on Saturday, where they are guests of Finchampstead for a third round Bluefin Sports Challenge Cup clash.

Kick-off is 2.30pm.

Bees will not be letting up after faint play-off hopes are dashed

Let’s go out with a bang — Mettam SUNDAY ROAST AVAILABLE 12:00 - 17:00

By LEWIS RUDD lrudd@wokinghampaper.co.uk BRACKNELL BEES will not be looking to end the season on a whimper says Alex Mettam after any faint hopes of reaching the play-offs were extinguished.

Sunday’s 5-3 reverse to Basingstoke Bison at The Hive, along with Manchester Phoenix’s 3-2 victory over Milton Keynes Lightning, means the league’s bottom club can no longer secure a top-eight finish.

The writing has been on the wall for some time, with Bees having won just three of their last 30 matches, leaving the roster only playing for pride with eight fixtures of the regular season remaining.

Bees have now missed out on the end-of-season competition for the past two years, with Mettam one of those in the team to have suffered disappointment on both occasions.

The netminder, who has been one of the standout performers this term, however, insists there will be no letting up.

He said: “Our focus is just on next weekend.

“We will try and do each other proud and try and get as many wins as we can towards the end of the season – and we might be able to put a spanner in the works.

“This is my third season now, so I think it has been three tough years as everyone will agree, but it’s a great group of guys and that is the biggest thing.

“Everyone has stuck together and it’s a great bunch of guys who enjoy each others company and hanging out as a team, and I think that shows on the ice with everyone playing for each other.”

Up next for Bracknell, ironically, is the Phoenix, whom they face in a double header this weekend, with Bees hosting the first game on Saturday (6pm).

While there is little at stake for Mettam and co, the netminder believes, despite how tough things have been recently, the season can only hold the young side in good stead.

He said: “The young guys have had a great opportunity and I think they are all working hard and doing the things that have been asked of them.
