OFFICER WINS BOY ASSAULT APPEAL

By Dave Goodban

A POLICE officer jailed for punching a young boy in the face over a gun hoax has had his conviction for assault quashed.

PC Daniel Gaffney of Withington Close, Northwich, was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment in August after being found guilty of assaulting the 12-year-old youngster at West Didsbury police station.

The 30-year-old, an officer with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) for seven years, immediately launched an appeal against the conviction and sentence.

And at Warrington Crown Court on Friday, Judge Ed-

ward Thomas Teague QC cleared his name after a two-day hearing.

Prosecutors claimed PC Gaffney lost his temper after the boy, who cannot be named, said he had a gun in his pants as he was about to be strip-searched last November.

The defendant initially said the boy fell over but the next day changed his statement claiming self-defence.

It is unclear whether PC Gaffney, who has been sus-

pended from duty, will return to his former job but he is now a free man.

A GMP spokesman said: “Our Professional Standards branch is aware of the decision to quash PC Daniel Gaffney’s conviction for assault.

“As a result, his suspension from duty is being reviewed.

“As an internal investigation is ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment fur- CLEARED: PC Daniel Gaffney has had his conviction for assaulting a 12-year-old boy quashed. ther at this stage.”

Kitchen firm told to pay couple

A KITCHEN company has been ordered to fork out more than £500 to a couple in the small claims court.

Frodsham Kitchens UK, previously of Meridian House, Winsford, had to pay £538 to William and Joan Sheppard after they paid a £2,700 deposit for a kitchen – only to hear nothing more from the supplier.

They wrote to Steve Allen, trading as Frodsham Kitchens UK, to cancel the order and ask for their money back.

When they did not hear anything, they contacted trading standards and wrote again cancelling the contract and demanding the return of their deposit.

After three months the couple had heard nothing and took their case to the small claims court.

District Judge Viv Reaves, sitting at Mold County Court, ordered Mr Allen to pay them £538 with interest and said he accepted the couple’s evidence.

Mr Allen, who said he was “fuming” at the decision, was refused permission to appeal – unless he applies to a higher court.

Mrs Sheppard said that when they gave the deposit, they got no receipt and no list of items to be provided. They asked for them five times, she said.

Mr Allen claimed he had provided all the information and had paid for the kitchen and had fitters and plumbers all lined up. He said he had been in business for 15 years and it was his first time in court.

The couple said he had only been in touch after they had complained to trading standards when he simply said they were not getting their money back.

The judge said he unhesitatingly preferred the evidence of the Sheppards and found in their favour. He ordered the defendant, whose company address is now in Liverpool, to pay the money within 14 days.

Couples to take ice cool plunge

LOVEBIRDS Mandy Nancollas and Rod Skillen are heading to Lapland for a “winter wonderland” wedding – and will be joined in holy matrimony by their next door neighbours.

Mandy, 37 and 32-year-old Rod, of Meadow Grove, Leftwich will tie the knot in January in a joint ceremony with their close friends Ann Anderson, 42, and Paul Norbury, 32.

The foursome will spend three days in the Levi ski resort with their friends and family before taking their vows in a traditional ceremony in a teepee-style ‘kota’. The blushing brrr-ides, who have been neighbours for nearly eight years, will arrive for the service in a reindeer drawn sleigh.

Mandy’s daughters Kylie, 20, Lucy, 14 and Kia, four and Ann’s daughters Jay, 15 and Paige, 13 will be bridesmaids. Mandy and Rod’s son Jay, six and Ann’s 10-year-old son Connor, will be on page boy duties.

Mandy, who is the granddaughter of former Vale Royal Cllr Ron Woodier, said: “Me and Rod had already decided to get married and we just got together with Ann and Paul one

“She got me drunk!” laughed Ann, 42, who works at Clark’s shoe shop in Northwich. “Mandy always said

Bridge to improve links to Liverpool THE Cheshire West Council is backing the £430m Mersey Gateway Bridge.

The 2,300m long bridge is proposed a mile from the existing bridge linking Runcorn and Widnes.

It would link with the A562 route to Liverpool and to the M56 via the Runcorn Central Expressway providing access to Chester, North Wales and Manchester.

The bridge, with three lanes in each direction, is planned to

have three towers rising up to 140m above the river bed.

Beneath the road, provision is being made for a future light rail transit system.

The bridge is described as a major strategic transport route which would allow the Silver Jubilee Bridge to be used for local traffic with space for cyclists and pedestrians.

It is proposed that tolls would be levied on both bridges but there is agreement that these

would be partly subsidised by the government to keep down costs to motorists.

The bridge will be free to buses, cyclists and pedestrians.

Benefits are said to include improved connections between Cheshire and Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Cheshire West’s director of regeneration Charlie Seward says the council should object to tolls on the old bridge.

Casey’s charity banger recipe A TEENAGE pupil of Hebden Green School in Winsford suffering from cystic fibrosis has come up with a sizzling suggestion for a sausage recipe which will land a big gift for charity.

Casey Blunstone, who turned 13 this month, was asked by Willaston’s Cheerbrook Farm Shop to come up with an idea for a sausage to be sold in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

And she decided on ‘Casey’s Peachy Pork’ of which 50% of all sales will go to the trust.

Her mum Gaynor said: “Pork and peach is an interesting combination, something a bit different. I think Casey just wanted to match up the Ps and came up with that!”

Education should be balanced and exciting I’VE received a very warm welcome from all quarters since I arrived as the new head of Cuddington Primary last month – and I already feel very much “at home”.

I’ve been very impressed with the atmosphere and ethos of this lovely school and the community it serves.

I’ve been teaching for over 20 years, mainly in Wirral, where I became deputy head of a junior primary school in Bebington, before moving to Cheshire in 2006 when I became deputy at Haslington Primary.

I’m happily married to my husband Barry and live in Wybunbury, near Nantwich, close to my parents. We have a grown-up family of five children, all in their early twenties, three of whom are studying at undergraduate or postgraduate level at universities in Manchester and two of whom are beginning careers in writing.

Grant deadline is approaching

TIME’S running out for young campaigners to ‘grab a grant’ for their school from volunteering charity CSV. Teachers and students from secondary and special schools have until December 5 to secure a ‘Crick Challenge Award’, and with it funding of up to £500 to support campaigns, led by young people, that bring about powerful change – locally or globally.

In the past, we’ve seen students tackle problems as broad ranging as building on floodplains to the lack of Fairtrade goods in shops.

We hope our awards will drive young people into positive action.

4,000 children await adoption

AS someone who was lucky enough to be adopted and be

I’ve a clear and simple educational philosophy that is reflected in what goes on at Cuddington Primary. I believe the education we provide should be broad, balanced and exciting.

Every child has the right to be provided with the opportunity to fulfil their academic potential, so that they can reap the rewards and benefits of being confident, enquiring and independent individuals.

I wish to see pupils educated to a high standard, who enthuse about the subjects they study and want to learn more.

I wish to see pupils who can set challenging, yet realistic targets for themselves and who are able to recognise and celebrate their own achievements.

I wish to see pupils who are caring and compassionate and able to take their place as active citizens in a multicultural society.

given a loving home by my adoptive parents, I’d like to thank everyone who helped make this year's National Adoption Week a success.

Thank you also to the thousands of people who contacted the British Association for Adoption & Fostering (BAAF) to find out more about adoption.

If you missed the week, don’t worry, it’s not too late to get involved.

There are around 4,000 children across the UK needing a permanent and loving family and I urge people to consider whether they could offer any of these children a home.

Fuming over market smoker

I WAS in Northwich one Saturday and was going through the indoor market when two members of the public walked past me and one of them was smoking.

Although the building has ‘no smoking’ signs at the entrance and the smoking ban has been in place for a year, I saw a woman smoking inside an entrance to the building.

As a non-smoker I expect a smoke-free environment where it’s prohibited.

I was in a football stadium in Yorkshire in November last year when there were men smoking in the toilet during half-time!

Both places could get charged with an offence for allowing smoking if foolish members of the public smoke where they shouldn’t.

IAN WOODING (via e-mail)

Maintenance work neglected Savage attitude IF Vale Royal Borough Council have a contract, which into squirrels volves being paid a substantial amount of money to do maintenance work, how do they justify neglecting to do the work?

I refer yet again to the maintenance of the landscaped areas of the Pippins, Furdale Road – a very desirable place to live, with a disgracefully overgrown weed-ridden landscape.

This is not very acceptable, and hardly ideal local government.

If residents refused to pay their Council Tax, they face prison.

But there seems to be no comeback at all if the council refuse to honour their commitments.

Will the new council organisation do any better?

I cannot help but be pessimistic.

JANE MEADOWS Northwich

GREY squirrels are beautiful, intelligent and highly adaptable animals and yet there

appears to be an intolerance – even a hatred – of them by some people.

Demands for their death come largely from those with vested interests and so-called conservationists who whimsically favour one animal over another.

Not so long ago, red squirrels were accused of all the things for which the greys are now blamed. As a result, hundreds of thousands of reds were killed – driving them to near extinction.

It’s not the fault of grey squirrels that they were brought to this country 130 years ago and, despite everything, have thrived.

To kill en-masse such a hardy species flies in the face of Darwinism – it is the killing of the fittest.

Finally and most importantly, squirrels feel pain. The fact that they can legally be beaten to death in a sack, trapped, shot or even drowned by ‘pest’ controllers, is an indication of how unfeelingly savage our society has become.

Thieves’ haul prompts alert over car keys

A CORONER adjourned the inquest into the death of a Northwich teenager in order to call more witnesses to give evidence.

The family of Michael Igoe of Royal Gardens, Davenham, sat through almost three hours of evidence at the inquest last Wednesday before the hearing was adjourned.

The popular 17-year-old tragically drowned in the River Weaver earlier this year.

The inquest heard how Michael, whose mother Helen called the “perfect son”, was enjoying a night out on the town with his friends on Saturday, July 5, before going on holiday to France to see his girlfriend, when he became separated from his friends.

His body was dragged out of the Weaver the following Monday morning.

Deputy coroner for Cheshire Dr Janet Napier told the inquest at Crewe Law Courts that an adjournment was necessary to call further witnesses, including the last person believed to have seen Michael alive on the evening of July 4 at the Amber Lounge on Northwich High Street.

A week after his death scores of mourners packed St Wilfrid’s RC Church to remember Michael, a former St Nicholas High School pupil who worked for his family’s construction firm.

POLICE are warning residents not to fall foul of ‘hook & cane’ burglars.

Thieves targeted six houses in Hartford on Sunday night and stole six top-of-the-range cars after stealing the keys using the ‘fishing rod’ through the letterbox method.

A BMW 320d, Mercedes SLK 350, Mini Cooper, Range Rover Sport, Toyota Celica, Volkswagen Passat were all taken.

Det Insp Pete Lawless, of the Northwich Proactive Policing Team, claims the crimes are easy to avoid.

He said: “These latest incidents serve as a stark reminder that people simply cannot afford to drop their guard. The hook & cane method of stealing cars is relatively easy to guard against – never leave car or house keys near to windows or doors where a thief could spot them.

“Storing keys in a secure place can dramatically reduce your chances of becoming a victim of this type of crime.”

POLICE and firefighters were called out to Norley Road, Cuddington in the early hours of Thursday (November 20) after a car caught fire.

Fire crews found the saloon car ablaze at 3.15am and police were required to move the vehicle, which was blocking the road.

Jewellery stolen TRAGIC: Northwich teenager Michael Igoe.

Police operation a success on problem-plagued estate

Icelandic deposit query

A MONTH-LONG police operation targeting drug dealers and troublemakers on Winsford’s Wharton Estate has been hailed a huge success.

Operation Hamburg, coordinated by Winsford Neighbourhood Policing Unit Sergeant Danny Haddock, saw officers dedicate 115 extra hours to high visibility foot patrols around the estate. Vale Royal Borough Council and Weaver Vale Housing Trust (WVHT) lent their support, with the Trust issuing warnings to problem tenants over their future behaviour.

Over the course of the month: ■ Drugs raids took place at seven homes, resulting in four arrests ■ Thirty stolen wild bird eggs were found ■ Five WVHT garages were found illegally storing items ■ Twenty-eight tenants were served

THE effect of Cheshire County Council’s £8.5m deposit in a cash-strapped Icelandic bank on the finances of the fledgling Cheshire West Council has come under scrutiny.

County Hall has the money on deposit with Heritable, a UK subsidiary of Landbanski.

The issue was raised by Conservative prospective parliamentary candidate for Cllr Les Ford Weaver Vale Graham Evans.

He asked Cheshire West finance boss Cllr Les Ford (Con, Frodsham & Helsby), the authority’s deputy leader, what impact the investment would have on savings identified for the new council.

Cllr Ford pointed out that Cheshire West was responsible for half of the County Council’s potential loss but also emphasised it was possible the investment would be recovered.

Cllr Ford stressed the authority would have reserves to deal with the situation and gave details of the council’s commitment to achieve savings.

By Dave Goodban with seven-day warning notices because of the state of their gardens – and seven were prosecuted ■ Twelve vehicles were clamped for road tax offences.

Sgt Haddock said: “There is no doubt Operation Hamburg has had the desired effect in Wharton – particularly in relation to anti-social behaviour and criminal damage, which have both been reduced.”

The month before the operation police recorded 31 incidents of criminal damage on the estate. During the October 13-November 9 operation, the figure fell to 19.

Sgt Haddock added: “The figures show just what impact the operation had. The feedback we’ve had from residents is very positive.”

RAID: Four people on the Wharton Estate were arrested during a month-long crackdown on crime.

To show their appreciation the lads, who are working toward their ‘Global Challenge’ badge, made a donation to the Pettypool Trust.

Spreading vital word on shoplifting menace A NEW information-sharing initiative has been launched to combat shoplifters and bag snatchers in Northwich town centre.

Northwich Against Business Crime has been established to make staff, shoppers and visitors to the town safer.

Retailers are already on board and soon the project’s logo, a red hand, will begin appearing in shops and businesses throughout the town.

Chief Supt Tim Jackson, head of policing in Vale Royal, said: “With Christmas fast approaching I can’t think of a better time to launch a scheme that seeks to help drive crime out of Northwich.

“It’s good to see people coming together to send a clear message to criminals.”

Businesses that sign up to the scheme will share information about crime and incidents of anti-social behaviour and will be equipped with radios for improved commu-

nication and identification of potential offenders.

Members will also be invited to attend regular information exchange forums where they will be kept up to date with crime and incident statistics, learn about security measures, share photographs and CCTV images and receive crime alerts regarding current criminal activity and known offenders.

Insp Pete Minghella, of Northwich Neighbourhood Policing Unit, said: “This scheme has huge potential.

“Plans are already in place to develop an ‘exclusion zone’ in the town, which would see offenders and persistent trouble makers banned from all member shops and premises.

“This should not only reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the town, but could also result in improved trade as customers and retailers reap the rewards of an improved environment.”

Hall hosts Frenzy night FRENZY, the North West’s biggest under 16s event, will be held on Friday, November 28, at the Memorial Hall, Northwich from 7-10pm.

The event is the second Frenzy night to be held at the Memorial Hall and provides a safe environment for young people to sample an authentic nightclub experience.

Frenzy has been running at the Civic Hall in Winsford for the past year and has been praised by police and councillors.

Tickets, priced £6 and available from the Memorial Hall, are limited to 600 and you are advised to buy in advance.

Only those aged 11-16 will be admitted.

Contact Helen Pearce on 01606 867547.

CLOSE EYE: Shop workers will be more clued up on potential thieves thanks to a new initiative launched in Northwich.

Medics to take help to hernia sufferers

By Rachel Kerslake A MEDICAL team from Leighton Hospital is making final preparations for a trip to Ghana where its skills and expertise will make a significant difference to lives.

The team, led by consultant surgeon Magdi Hanafy, is travelling to West Africa to take part in Operation Hernia – a programme that treats and teaches groin hernia surgery.

Sixty boxes have been packed with supplies from local supporters and medical equipment donated by the Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The team is taking 2,500 pairs of sterile gloves and more than 5,000 sutures and skin staples with them.

One hundred footballs are also being flown out for the team to give to local schools, along with plenty of stationery.

Mr Hanafy said: “The NHS performs more than 100,000 hernia repairs every year. But a routine op in the UK can be a death sentence for patients in Africa.

“In rural areas, previously fit young people die because these simple surgical services are unaffordable.”

Mr Hanafy and his team, Mr Sitham Selvachandran (consultant surgeon), Dr Neil Brooks (consultant anaesthetist), Sister Virginia Long (theatre manager), Sister Janet Burrows

READY TO GO: Trust chief executive Phil Morley, theatre sister Janet Burrows, consultant surgeon Magdi Hanafy, theatre manager Virginia Long, consultant surgeon Sitham Selvachandran, Staff Nurse Emma Reay, and consultant anaesthetist Neil Brooks.

more on the net Rachel Kerslake, a communications officer, is joining the trip and will be writing a daily blog www.midcheshirechronicle.co.uk (theatre sister) and Staff Nurse Emma Reay (ops assistant and scrub nurse), will be flying out to Ghana on Saturday.

Trust chief exec Phil Morley said: “This trip is testimony to the passion and dedication our staff have to ensure patients are treated, whatever their circumstances or position. Mr Hanafy has gone to great lengths to raise funds and equipment for this trip, which I support whole-

heartedly on behalf of the trust.”

Mr Hanafy added: “We’re proud to be part of Operation Hernia. It’s a fantastic programme.”

Local Rotary clubs, patients and GP practices are among those supporting the trip with financial contributions and BA has waived the fee for flying 10 boxes of medical supplies.

Leighton Hospital has donated supplies and granted permission for the medical team to take sabbatical leave for the trip.

Go Green car and van rental has provided a large van to transport all the boxes down to Heathrow.

Shop robber armed with hammer steals £100 A MAN burst into a Rudheath convenience store armed with a hammer and demanded cash from the till on Monday night.

He escaped with about £100 after targeting Ray’s Shop on Gadbrook Road. The 40-year-old female shopkeeper was “shaken up” after the ordeal, but unharmed, said owner Ray Luckraft.

A police spokesman said: “Just before 7.50pm we received a report of a robbery at Ray’s. A man entered the shop armed with a hammer and demanded cash from the till.”

Curtain goes up on classic Shaw comedy of manners

NORTHWICH’S Harlequin Theatre’s pre-Christmas production is Shaw’s famous comedy Pygmalion, the inspiration behind the iconic musical My Fair Lady.

Costumiers Julie Hoskins and Ann Lloyd are busy preparing specially costumes that will bring all the glamour and elegance of the 1900s to their stage.

Shaw’s story of the cockney flower-girl Eliza Doolittle and the professor of phonetics, Henry Higgins, who bet a friend he could change her accent and pass her off as a duchess, went on to become the basis of the Lerner and Loewe musical ‘My Fair Lady’.

A blockbuster of its day, it immortalised Julie Andrews, Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. Fifty years later, Keira Knightley is said to be in talks about a remake!

Shaw took the title for his play from the Greek legend of the sculptor Pygmalion, who fell in love with his own creation, the beautifully lifelike statue, Galatea.

A strong cast has been assembled by director Matthew Lambert (Waltz of the Toreadors, Accidental Death of an Anarchist), who is giving the play a traditional staging.

The irascible bachelor at the centre of the story, Prof Higgins, is played by Richard Sadler, seen last

COCKNEY GAL: The pygmalion cast includes (l-r) Lucy Desmond, Phil Ashby-Crowe, Richard Sadler, Jenny Hindmarch and Lucy Cruddas. year as Mr Collins in the Harlequins’ sell-out production of Pride and Prejudice.

The cockney subject of his attempted transformation, Eliza, is played

by Lucy Cruddas (The Diary of Anne Frank, Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Pride and Prejudice).

The sympathetic Colonel Pickering, the other partner to the bet, is played by Phil Ashby-Crowe (Alice

in Wonderland, The Diary of Anne Frank, Waltz of the Toreadors).

Others taking part include Matt Bird, Carmen Bowett, and Judith Knight (Dracula), John Smith (The Wizard of Oz), Lucy Desmond (Pride and Prejudice) and Jenny Hindmarch and Maureen Melville (A Woman of No Importance).

The first night will be on Monday December 8, followed by perform-

ances from Thursday to Saturday December 11-13.

A date in forest for diva Katherine SINGING superstar Katherine Jenkins has announced she will be performing live in concert at Delamere Forest in Cheshire next summer.

Following two sell-out forest concerts this year, the acclaimed diva will be performing further woodland dates next summer as part of the Forestry Commission’s 2009 live music programme.

Re-defining the concept of classical crossover, Katherine has achieved global sales of more than three million.

Last month saw the release of her sixth album, Sacred Arias which includes her takes on Ave Maria, The Lord Is My Shepherd and Silent Night. The remarkable mezzo-soprano’s versatility has enabled her to tackle a wide variety of styles, from opera to the classics of Hollywood.

Her fifth LP, Rejoice, outsold such major pop acts as Girls Aloud and the Spice Girls.

All four of her previous studio albums went to the top of the classical charts, making her the only artist to hold the top four positions simultaneously.

The Forestry Commission is committed to taking woodlands to new audiences and making them relevant to people in new ways. Forestry Commission live music is self-sustaining, paying for itself, and providing valuable revenue to plough back into the woodland in a variety of environmental and social projects.

Katherine said: ‘Following my forest tour debut this year I am really looking forward to the opportunity of performing in some more of these beautiful and unique locations in 2009.”

Joined by the National Symphony Orchestra, she will be performing at Delamere Forest on June 14. Tickets £32.50 (subject to booking fee) go on sale at 9am this Friday from 01842 814612 or buy online at www.forestry.gov.uk/music or from the venue itself.

Hear’Say Noel finds fame six years on NOEL Sullivan knows how ruthless showbusiness can be.

Part of manufactured pop band Hear’Say, they were the hottest property in town - until it all imploded!

The band were formed through the TV show Popstars in 2000 and became an instant hit.

But it all went wrong when their second album bombed. By October 2002, they had broken up.

But time is a healer and six years later Noel is on a high after a string of sell-out performances of the new musical Flashdance.

The show, which has received rave reviews around the country, opened on Monday and is at Hanley’s Regent Theatre this week.

Performances start at 8pm today (Wednesday) and tomorrow, and at 5pm and 8.30pm on Friday and Saturday. For tickets, £12.50 to £29.50, phone the box office on 0870 060 6649.

She made it just in time to join fellow cast members for the first day of rehearsals of Jack and the Beanstalk which opens next Wednesday.

Lynne will be playing the fairy in the traditional fun-packed panto.

She said: “I’m really excited and I’m sure it’ll be more than worth all that travelling to be able to entertain panto-goers throughout the Christmas season.”

Stars of the small screen unite for the production. Joining

Lynne is children’s TV presenter Kerry Newell, who plays Jack but is best known for her bubbly personality on Wakey Wakey and The Fun Song Factory.

Fame Academy finalist Carolynne Good plays the beautiful Princess Tamara.

Former Emmerdale and Doctor Who actor Frazer Hines is the menacing Fleshcreep, while last year’s favourite Kevin McGreevy returns as Simple Simon.

You are saying one thing and doing another, which is making it very hard for your loved ones to know where they stand. You only have yourself to blame if you are let down, due to the mixed signals you are sending. Tell it like it is on Thursday, and passion can, and will be, yours. Call now for a long term view of life and love.

As you enter the month of December, you start to ease up on yourself and acknowledge that you’ve actually achieved some good things. Why you set such high standards for yourself is a mystery to me. Time spent on love, pays back dividends and finally gives you the security you crave. Call now to make the most of your stars.

I sense a touch of the green eyed monster in your chart Gemini. Back down please, as you are casting yourself in a light, which does not suit you. A face from your past comes to mind, due to something you need to do, to progress with your future. Don’t dawdle there too long, your future is calling. Phone me now for a preview of what awaits.

Make sure you back up all the work you to do on computer, and follow up all promises with a phone call. These simple actions may not seem like a lot, but could save you a lot of time and embarrassment next month. Faces, and names with a foreign flavour, bring luck and fun to your life. Call me now to hear why love requires a white lie.

Don’t tell secrets which are not yours to share Leo. You’ve heard the saying, that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, and you are surely a sign that has a few secrets of their own, that they’d like to keep under wraps! Live and let live must be your motto. Call me now to hear why travel and love go hand in hand for you.

Trust in your own instincts, and not that of friends and family. They don’t have the facts you do at your fingertips, and biased minds judge on, what you’ve said in the past, and not on how you now view your future. Leos link to a better working week and a happier life in general. Call me now to hear why November is such a romantic month.

The younger generation are forecast to be on your mind more than usual. Don’t expect support for a personal project for a close one. You may have been thinking about making certain changes for a long time, but what you now want, is news to many of your loved ones.

Call now to hear why time is your best friend for the support you seek.

I know you enjoy your work, because a Scorpio could not do a job they do not enjoy. What you need to remember though Scorpio, is that you also need to make time for a personal life. A loved one doesn’t feel they need to ask, and you should not have to be told. Call my starline now to hear how you can balance work and love perfectly.

You have taken on a lot, and you know you can do it, but you also know you need to juggle the other areas of your life. When you are going to do this is, as yet, unclear. Make a start before Thursday, and before you lose the support of a face that is critical to the completion of your plans. Call me now so I can foretell your future.

The other signs in the zodiac will be turning to you for advice and wisdom, so try to speak with care. You may not realise it, but even flippant words will be acted upon. Travel plans link to love, and give you reason to be pleased that you made the major change, which caused such drama this year. Call now to hear how Jupiter can bring riches.

Friends only know half the story about your life, but they think they know it all.

This week will see you telling them more, and how they react, will dictate which faces stay, and which ones go.

Wednesday, you need to dress for success, as an important crossover in your career can, and should be, made.

Call now for the finer details.

You are not relaxed, and new faces can pick up on the tension you are exuding.

Try to make some ‘me’ time for yourself. Your life in every aspect is sure to benefit, if you do. After all Pisces, if you don’t make time for yourself why should anyone else? Call now to hear how Venus can finally help you get what and who you want.

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT (Manchester Palace until Nov 29)

‘Monkey off our back’ Joy at last as table is turned in Yorkshire GARY Finley has spoken of his relief after his new-look Witton Albion side won their first league match since September 2, at play-off chasing Bradford Park Avenue.

Saturday’s shock 2-0 win at the Horsfall Stadium ended Witton’s 11-match losing streak and was the Albion manager’s first since taking over the job last month.

Despite the victory, Witton are still bottom of the league but another three points this weekend could be good enough to see them leapfrog the bottom four positions.

Boss Finley said: “Bradford’s fans were coming up to us after the game and couldn’t believe that was the same side that went on such a bad run.

“But the great thing was that we didn’t go there and nick two goals in the end, we actually dominated the game and could have scored more.

“It is a big monkey off our back to get the first win. We are not counting our chickens though. It is coming together slowly but there’s more hard work to do.

“Confidence is beginning to come back in the squad but we must keep instilling the players with that belief.”

Albion unveiled four new signings at Bradford (see back page) and one of Finley’s recent captures opened the scoring.

Neil Black, a striker signed from Colwyn Bay, opened his account for Witton on 41 minutes and another new arrival Paul Booth, from Leigh Genesis, scored five minutes after the break, bundling the ball past ex-Albion keeper Jon Worsnop.

Albion could have scored two more but Lee Thompson’s late penalty was saved and Mark Smyth hit the post.

Northwich Vics – Blue Square Premier

‘The quickest player you have ever seen’ NORTHWICH Victoria manager Steve King believes he has the quickest player in English football, in loan signing Dean Lodge – and he is ready to unleash him on Vics’ Blue Square Premier rivals.

Lodge, 21, joined Vics on a non-contract basis with a view to a permanent move in January from Kingstonian, and thrilled supporters with his electric pace when he came off the bench towards the end of Vics’ 1-1 draw at Salisbury City on Saturday.

King said that Lodge, who was on the books at QPR, has the speed to destroy defences and

Blues boss wants more firepower

that he would be almost certain to start on Saturday at home to Crawley Town.

He said: “He is the quickest football player you have ever seen. He is only 5ft 4 and wears his socks over his knees but he’s like Will-o’-the-wisp! He is razor sharp and will cause teams no end of problems.

“The Kingstonian supporters have gone mad that he has left and there have been a lot of clubs watching him.

“Against the slow and cumbersome defences of this league, the only way they will be able to stop him is by bringing him down.”

Watched by a crowd of 999 at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium, Vics faced an uphill battle against City when an error from goalkeeper Michael Jones let in Matt Robinson to score after only two minutes.

But Vics fought on and were finally rewarded for their efforts on 56 minutes when Scunthorpe loan star Peter Winn scored his first goal in a green and white shirt, having been played in by the impressive Rashid Yussuff.

King added: “Yussuff was the best player on the pitch and is settling in nicely.”

WINSFORD United boss berated his side’s lack of finishing after the Blues took just a point from their last two games.

The Blues had to fight back from a goal down against Colne on Saturday after Steve Throup gave the visitors a 27th-minute lead at the Barton Stadium.

And the 81-strong crowd had to wait until nine minutes from time when Darren Connell found the back of the net.

The Blues almost snatched a dramatic victory but Phil Mason’s 25-yarder smashed off the bar.

The draw followed last Tuesday’s home defeat to Newcastle Town. The 2-0 loss was harsh on the Blues after they had dominated affairs without finding the net. Stephen Siddell was red-carded and five others were cautioned as tempers rose.

Second-half goals from Neville Thompson and Steve Smith (pen) gave Town the win which perhaps they did not deserve.

Boss Joe Gibiliru said: “We have to start scoring goals, we just can’t finish teams off at the moment.

“There were some harsh words said at halftime and, to be fair, they have reacted well and almost taken the points. We need to learn to take our chances though.”

Gibiliru was yesterday poised to sign striker Andy Bishop who has played at Cammell Laird and Formby.

Winsford hosted Congleton Town last night and on Saturday they make the short trip to Wincham Park to face Runcorn Linnets (3pm).

■ Barnton finally put an end to a 12-match losing streak in Cheshire League Division One with a hard-fought point at home to Rylands/ Crosfields.

And it could have been more for the Townfield Lane outfit as the hosts held their 1-0 lead, given to them by a stunning Michael Sandbach free kick, until seven minutes from time.

Manager Mick Duckett said: “The keeper never moved, it was a great effort. We could do with a few more of those but performances are getting better.”

On Saturday, Barnton travel to Garswood United (2.15pm).

■ Lostock survived a late scare to steal the points from their thrilling Cheshire League Division Two clash at Whitchurch Alport.

The Grey Lambs started well and had a goal disallowed when Gareth Barry was judged to be offside when turning home Butters’ cross.

The game looked certain for a draw until five minutes from time when the referee awarded Lostock a penalty for handball.

Birdsey stepped up and fired the ball home for the second week running.

But Alport were not beaten and were awarded a penalty of their own with just seconds remaining. Alport keeper Newton took the penalty but Lostock’s Bird pulled off a fine save to earn the victory.

On Saturday, Lostock host 12th-placed Poynton (2.15pm).

■ Lostock Reserves smashed Crewe & District title challengers Cuddington 5-1 on Saturday (Smith 2, Carter, Jones, Shutt).

Park edged out in basement battle Winnington Park 3 Northop Hall 4

Hockey

A YOUNG Winnington side narrowly lost out in a big clash at the bottom of the table leaving them hovering precariously above the relegation zone.

Stave Campagnaro put Park ahead midway through the first half after Mark Leigh had found him in open space. But the visitors soon fought back and were level.

Park snatched the lead just before the break through Julian Buckle showing great composure with a

fine reverse stick finish after an impressive run at the heart of the Northop defence.

With ten minutes to go, hopes of earning the vital Northern League Division Two West points took a dent when visiting Hall hit the net twice to put Park 3-2 down.

Leigh then pulled Winnington level from a penalty corner, but less than a minute later the erratic hosts conceded another which ultimately cost them a point.

Man of the match Pete Evans tried

to grab Park a share of the spoils but his incisive run and shot only found the side netting.

Other scores: Wrexham 2nds 1 WP 2nds 5 (Pinson 3, Charlton, Bowden), WP 3rds 1 Bowdon 6ths 1 (Hughes), Llandudno 2nds 7 WP 4ths 2 (Sambell, Sharp).

On Saturday, Park visit sixth-placed Southport, the 2nds host Colwyn Bay 2nds (1pm), the 3rds head to South Cheshire 3rds and the 4ths host Golborne 2nds (3.30pm).

Park Ladies 4 Marple Ladies 1: Karen Morgan was too quick off the

mark for visiting Marple on Saturday as the speedster struck a first-half hat-trick.

Her treble was complemented by an Ellie Capstick strike to complete the 4-1 victory at Sir John Deane’s College. Helen Egerton starred in goal for Park who remain at the top of the league.

The seconds were thrashed 7-0 at home by Knutsford Ladies with Amy Holehouse the star.

On Saturday Park Ladies face Marple again at home (2.45pm) while the seconds travel to Knutsford.

Rugby union – Double defeat on the trophy trail

Wakefield trinity brings sad exit Sandal 23 Northwich 15

DREAMS of returning to Twickenham were dashed on Saturday as the Blacks exited the EDF Intermediate Cup at a bitterly cold Milnthorpe Green.

It was the third time that Northwich had visited the Wakefield-based outfit, the others being in the early 90s, but unfortunately for the visitors, the losing record continued.

The Blacks matched Sandal in the try-scoring stakes, crossing the whitewash on three occasions but the hosts made fewer mistakes and possessed, on the day, a more competent kicker in stand off Tom Smith.

Despite dominating the first-half, Northwich were 13-10 down at half-time.

Steve Campbell levelled for

the visitors on 30 minutes with a deserved try to cancel the hosts’ opener from man-of-the-match hooker Sam Tee. Smith notched two penalties for Sandal before Blacks winger Adam Bown collected a clever kick from Matt Bebbington to score in injury time.

Tee scored his second try of the afternoon taking a quick tap-penalty and Northwich were beginning to fear the worst.

Richard Dale and Andrew Chubb added some fresh impetus off the bench but the hosts stretched their lead when fullback Tom Coad scored and with it went Northwich’s chances on mounting a fightback.

Hardworking Aussie Nigel Farrow grabbed a deserved late try after charging down a kick but it was a mere

consolation for a disappointed Moss Farm side who now turn their attention back to North Two West action.

On Saturday, Northwich visit league leaders Rochdale (2.15pm).

Sefton 3rds 0 Northwich 2nds 35: Northwich’s second string produced an indifferent performance against the bottom side.

But despite not hitting the heights of previous scorelines, the verdict on Saturday was testament to the team’s determination to turn an under-par performance into a victory.

Tries were scored by Will Oultram, Danny Bell, Dave Harvey, John Keegan and Tom Wood. Lee Allmark and Carl Senior kicked a penalty and conversion each.

Other score: Northwich U15s 5 Chester U15s 36 (try: Vandersteen).

PARK crashed out of the EDF Senior Vase on Saturday but the Burrows Hill side have much more pressing matters at hand.

Another home defeat will not have helped morale but Park face two vital league fixtures in a row that may go a long way in deciding their Cheshire/South Lancs Division One status.

Currently joint bottom of the league with Dukinfield, Park host the fellow strugglers on Saturday and then travel to Wigan, who are just one place above them.

The RFU’s reshaping of the league system may actually save Park if it is

decided that there will be no relegation, but until that is confirmed, Mark Warr’s men must take points from the two fixtures to begin the fightback.

On Saturday, making his first start of the season, Matt Dodd earned man-of-the-match plaudits and scored the hosts’ first try which was converted by Ben Elliot.

But the 7-5 lead did not last long and Ormskirk, who lie in sixth place in Cheshire/South Lancs One, hit back before the break to go in 12-7 up.

A lack of discipline led to Park conceding two tries and with it went their chances of progressing in the competition.

Their efforts were

rewarded shortly after though as David Cross scored a well-deserved try.

On Saturday, Winnington host Dukinfield (2.15pm) in their big basement battle.

Other scores: Winnington Park 2nds 19 Broughton Park 3rds 26 (tries: Hewitt, Jones, Belshaw; cons: Hewitt 2), WP Vags 22 Liverpool St Helens 3rds 12 (tries: Smallwood, Morrison, Ellis, Holbrooks; cons: Thurlwell; pens Thurlwell 2), Liverpool SH Colts 22 WP Colts 10, Hoylake U16s 7 WP U16s 24 (tries: Mowbray, Treacy, Dickerson, Charlton; cons: Cottrell 2).

SWIMMING: Winsford Swim Team came back from the Wrexham Junior Sprint event at the weekend weighed down by an impressive medal haul.

Golden girl Molly James won the 11-year-olds 50m breaststroke while Oliver Rose claimed victory in the same event in the boys section.

Molly also claimed silver in the 50m backstroke.

Sam James won his 25m freestyle event and took bronze medals in the 25m fly and the 25m backstroke in the 10-year-old boys section.

Callum Chapple won a silver medal in the 50m freestyle and a bronze in the 50m breaststroke.

Many other members of the junior section competed at Wrexham and all the medal winners recorded personal-best times.

Spokesperson Brent Ion said: “Many of them were swimming for the first time in a competitive arena. They all performed well.”

He said: “We had a very solid day and to finish 18th – three spots above where we were ranked – is a step in the right direction for our crosscountry and track programmes.

“Nicky had a decent day, but we didn’t all hit it like I think we could

VICS ON HALF-PAY

NORTHWICH Vics players Football are facing a tough Christmas By Ben Coulbeck as their wages have not been paid in full due to the finManager Steve King is hoping ancial problems at the club. his improving side can earn

Vics owner Jim Rushe confirmed that only half of their monthly salary had been paid and that he was unsure about when they would receive the remainder.

But despite the credit crunch biting and the uncertainty over the forthcoming sale of the Marston’s Arena, Rushe is confident that the players will play on for Northwich as they bid to climb out of the Blue Square Premier drop zone.

He said: “Nobody will be leaving the club as 99% of them are contracted. Their contractual obligations have been met as half of their wages have been paid this month and the other half will be paid in full as soon as possible.

“But nobody has a bottomless pit and I am no different.

“It is the same for every business at the moment. And when there is a recession it is the leisure industry that suffers first.”

Rushe added that a consortium of local businessmen have now submitted a bid for the Marston’s Arena which is in the process of being sold by global financial firm Deloitte Touche.

The company seized the ground from former chairman Mike Connett’s firm Beaconet after it recently went into receivership.

He said: “The consortium associated with me has put in a bid and we are waiting to see if it has been accepted and also whether or not the funds are available.

“If we have the highest bid then we will get the ground.”

their first victory since he took over the job earlier this month when they host Crawley Town on Saturday (3pm).

Vics still find themselves in the bottom four of the Blue Square Premier despite taking a well-earned point from Salisbury City on Saturday (see page 30).

King is determined to lead Vics out of the danger zone and sees no reason why they can’t beat the play-off chasing Red Devils.

He said: “The fixture list has not been kind to us recently but we will take the game to Crawley and hopefully we’ll get the victory.

“I want to win every game. We will not sit back against anyone and we will take it to them.”

Dean Saunders’ rejuvenated Wrexham side are the visitors to Northwich on Wednesday, December 3 (7.45pm).

■ Vics have been given a home draw in the first round of the FA Trophy. York City are the visitors to the Marston’s Arena for the tie to be played on Saturday, December 13.

Albion aim to build on surprise victory

WITTON Albion’s fantastic four already have superhero status after Gary Finley’s new-look side halted their 11-match losing streak by pulling off a shock victory at Bradford Park Avenue on Saturday.

Finley, who was delighted to have finally got his first win since returning to Wincham Park as manager last month, has reshaped Witton’s squad with new signings and there will be more to come.

Neil Black, who scored Albion’s opener on Saturday (see page 30), arrived from Colwyn Bay last week and should continue to partner Lee Thompson up front on Saturday.

Impressive central midfielder Ashley Dunne has joined Witton on a month’s loan from old foes Fleetwood Town and proved an instant hit.

Albion secretary Pete Riley said: “All the new lads look great but Ashley Dunne was just fantastic. He looks a great acquisition.”

Paul Booth, from Leigh Genesis, signed last week and should help skipper Brian Pritchard shore up the defence while John Moore, from Cammell Laird has bolstered the midfield.

Finley said: “They are all good players and sharpened the team up on Saturday. But it wasn’t

just the new lads that did a job, the lads that have kept their places in the side played well too.

“I am still looking to bring in one or two more signings by the end of the week.

“It’s still early days but the signs are good that things are coming together.

“The squad is no longer just one that I have inherited, we’ve got some confidence now and hopefully we can build on that with a result on Saturday.”

Witton host Ilkeston Town on Saturday (3pm) and then Cammell Laird in the UniBond League Challenge Cup on Tuesday (7.45pm).

MORE TO COME: Gary Finley.
