Strand campaign to help foodbank THE Strand has launched a campaign to help a local foodbank – and both shoppers and staff are being encouraged to play their part.

The Bootle shopping centre has started its Helping Hand project which will focus on helping South Sefton Foodbank get as much food as possible through donations.

A spokesperson for the Strand said: “We will be encouraging our shoppers, retailers and staff to help us support South Sefton Foodbank by donating a range of food goods or anything they can spare which will be donated to Sefton Foodbank by the team at the Strand.

“If you have a spare can or box of food, you can donate to our appeal -

families in the Bootle area will be very grateful.

“South Sefton Foodbank is part of The Trussell Trust which is a network of foodbanks which provide emergency food to local people in times of need.

“The Strand Shopping Centre management team are proud to be teaming up with South Sefton Foodbank to help in any way they can.”

Rowland Parry, centre manager, unveiled the Strand’s first food collection point on Mons Square last week.

The idea to set up a collection point in the centre is one of several projects to come from the Strand’s management team this year.

Bootle barber’s message to fly-tippers who are wrecking his business...

‘JUST CUT IT OUT!’ Sean says problem is now so bad he might quit town and relocate Report by Tom Martin

Sean Burns with his son, also called Sean Burns, at The Barber Club

NOW AVAILABLE

A BARBER is so hacked off with fly-tippers who discard their rubbish next to his shop, that he is considering cutting his ties with the town and moving his business out of the area!

Sean Burns, who opened The Barber Club four years ago, is fed-up with the relentless flytipping on the corner of Bedford Road and Stanley Road and is

thinking of taking the drastic step of closing the shop and relocating away from Bootle.

Just last week, another huge pile of waste appeared overnight which included bin bags and mattresses.

The incident forced some angry residents to take to social media claiming “it looks like someone has emptied their entire house onto the pavement!”

But this is only the latest in a long line of flytipping incidents according to Sean, who has lived in Bootle for 30 years, and he’s become so angry he doesn’t want to renew the lease on the building where The Barber Club stands when it runs out in October, and is instead planning to open a shop in Wirral.

He said: “I'm onto the council all the time about this and if nothing happens we are gone. We are even thinking of selling our home and moving on. Who wants to be working and looking out at that every day?”

Stash of weapons found in park A TERRIFYING stash of weapons has been found in Rimrose Valley Country Park.

Police community support officers (PCSO) made the discovery during patrols of the south Sefton park and a spokesperson for Merseyside Police has welcomed the find by saying “more potential weapons have been taken off the streets.”

They seized the weapons on Friday, February 1, which included what appears to be a large machete, an axe, a penknife and a kitchen knife.

Anyone with information is asked to contact @MerPolCC, speak to local officers, or you can contact 101 or @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111.

AN alleged leader of a drug trafficking gang which was caught out in Crosby five years ago is still on the run.

Dominic McInally, 25, is wanted by police as they believe he headed a drugs gang which was making £1.25million every month before they were stopped.

In 2014, several members of the gang were arrested in Crosby after a large quantity of cocaine was found hidden inside a car stopped by Merseyside Police.

Five members of the gang have received sentences totalling 48 years but McInally has evaded capture ever since and has now been named by the National Crime Agency as one of the UK's most wanted and is believed to be hiding out in Spain.

A spokesperson for the NCA said: “McInally is the alleged leader of a drug trafficking gang that expected to bank £1.25m every month.

“Members of the gang travelled to the border of France and Belgium to pick up six kilos of cocaine.

“The package, secreted in a hidden compartment inside a Seat Leon car, was

Dominic McInally

intercepted by police officers when they swooped on the gang in Crosby in January 2014. McInally evaded capture. Five members of the gang have received sentences totalling 48 years.

“He is described as 5ft 8ins tall and has blond hair.”

‘It’s disgusting. I hope the council goes through the rubbish to see if they can find any evidence for who has done it...’

Members of Bootle Bucks Inclusion pay a visit to EMR's base on Alexandra Dock

Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC team up with MR recycling firm for sponsorship deal

The flytipping spot on the corner of Bedford Road and Stanley Road

From page 1 Sean opened The Barber Club in 2015 as a family-run business along with his son, also called Sean, as he thought Bootle was struggling with a high number of empty shop units and he wanted to help breathe fresh life back into the area.

He said fly-tipping is a constant problem and he’s in regular contact with Sefton Council to sort the problem out. He added: “I've asked for CCTV for nearly five years now but nothing happens. How much has it cost to send a cleansing team every week to come and clear it?

Surely it would be beneficial and cost effective to prevent it happening and not just come and clean it every week?”

It’s not just Sean who is angry about the fly-tipping, as social media users from Bootle have also hit out at the culprit(s).

After images of the fly-tipping were posted on Facebook on Wednesday, February 6, one Facebook user said: “This is disgusting. I hope the council goes through the rubbish to see if they can find any evidence for who has done it.”

Michael Brennan, who founded Bootle Action Group to help clean up the town, claims this particular spot is plagued by ongoing fly-tipping.

He said: “The corner of Bedford Road and Stanley Road is used for fly-tipping and it's been an ongoing issue for years. The council is fully aware of this hotspot grot-spot but nothing is being done.”

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “We have a zero-tolerance approach to fly-tipping and in cases where evidence has been recovered, we will try and investig-

A FOOTBALL club which supports children or young adults with a disability so they can enjoy the sport, has found its first official sponsor.

Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC has teamed up with Bootlebased firm European Metal Recycling (EMR), which has agreed to fund new tracksuits, rain jackets, hats, training equipment and even a football coach for training sessions.

EMR, based at Alexandra Dock, has previously offered support to the club and sponsored the team’s first inclusive football tournament in September.

Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC was established in April 2018 and now has over 60 members attending training sessions each week.

The Champion reported last

year how they won the 2018 North West Football Award for Promoting Inclusion.

Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC Chairman, John Rice said: “We are overwhelmed by EMR’s support. The support has made a big difference to our club and enables us to support so many children and young adults with varying disabilities. We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone at EMR! “Grassroots football brings huge benefits to children in many ways and I’m delighted that EMR have been able to give support to ensure the team have kits and training gear. Everyone is over the moon with their new tracksuits and rain jackets.”

EMR General Manger, Phil Hoare said: “At EMR we put a great deal of importance on

supporting the communities that are close to our sites.

Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC does an incredible job supporting children and young adults with disabilities and acting as a support network for parents and carers.

“We are delighted to support an organisation that makes such a difference to the children and young adults of Bootle and Sefton. They have also had such a positive impact on our employees around the company. We are looking forward to working with them in the future.”

Jeni Melia, mother of Aiden Melia, eight-year-old member of Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC, said: “The generosity shown

by EMR in providing our children with their tracksuits, coats and hats is just astound-

ing. Many of our children have never felt the inclusion that this act of kindness has helped create at Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC. “Every child is equal to the next and the sponsorship definitely helps to promote this.

All dressed the same, fighting daily challenges the same.

“Every parent, carer and grandparent thanks everyone at EMR from the bottom of their hearts.”

Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC hold training every Saturday from 9 – 10.30am (10 years old and under) and 11am – 12.30pm (11 years to open age) at Kings Leadership Academy, Hawthorne’s Sports Hall, on Fernhill Road, Bootle. l For more information email: bootlebucksinclusion@yahoo.com

Action promised on late night dock noise Mattresses dumped at the spot

ate who is responsible and bring them to justice.

“Fly tipping is a crime and we will issue £400 fixed penalty notices and prosecute offenders wherever we can.

“We continue to thank the many residents who look after their local environment by disposing of their waste correctly. Those in doubt can check what waste we collect and their collection days by visiting www.sefton.gov.uk/bins.

“Larger items can be taken to your local tip and residents who don’t drive are advised to contact the bulky item collection team by visiting www.sefton.gov.uk/bulkyitems.” l Can you help identify who the fly-tippers are? If you have evidence of fly-tipping then let Sefton Council know.

Report by Tom Martin PEEL Ports has promised to investigate reports of late night noise from the dock as more residents contact the Champion about sleepless nights.

Last week's front page story revealed how scores of locals who live near the Port of Liverpool claimed they are being kept up at night due to a ‘tortuous, constant drone which never stops’.

Sefton Council are monitoring the situation, and Peel Ports has now said they will look into the complaints in the hope of pinpointing the source of the late night racket.

In the meantime, residents continue to get in touch with the Champion to share their own nightmare stories of being unable to sleep.

One fed-up resident, who lives on Derby Road and claims it has been going on for months, believes the noise comes from a

He said: “I live right on top of it and it’s so loud. My son is only six and he comes into my room at night scared and asking what the noise is. It’s been going on for months. I thought it was just me but reading some of the other complaints in the Champion I can see it's affecting a lot

more people. A spokesperson for Peel Ports said: “We sincerely regret any disturbance to our neighbours. As a responsible operator we are investigating the cause of the complaints and what steps we can take to reduce the noise.”

THREE police vehicles had their windows smashed by a yob who jumped on them as they were parked outside Aintree Hospital.

The cars were parked in designated emergency vehicle bays at the site in Lower Lane, Fazakerley, when the incident happened at just after 2am on Wednesday, February 6.

An unknown offender was seen to jump onto the bonnets of the vehicles causing extensive damage before making off on a suspected stolen Yamaha bike.

All three vehicles have now been recovered for repairs.

Chief Inspector Diane Pownall said: “This is just mindless criminal damage.

“These three emergency vehicles will now have to be taken off the road to be repaired which will cost thousands of pounds.

“I would appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity of Aintree Hospital who witnessed this incident, anyone who saw the bike in the area or anyone who may have captured anything on CCTV or dash-cam footage to contact us.”

Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC, call 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting log 0048 of February 6.

Community service to support veterans with mental health issues Report by Tom Martin A NEW community service has opened in Bootle to offer support to Sefton veterans with mental health issues.

It has been set-up following the death of ex-soldier John Paul Finnigan, from Huyton, who killed himself last year after suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The new service will offer targeted counselling, therapy and physical activity programmes at its base at SAFE Regeneration, on Waverley Street.

It will be run by Caring Connections, which is a team of specialists who understand the deep and often complex needs specific to veterans.

Paul Growney CEO of Caring Connections said: “We are very proud to launch this service and hopefully it can provide a

further support mechanism to those returning home and struggling with civilian life.

The story of John Paul has really touched our organization and we are honoured to dedicate this service to his name.”

John completed a number of tours overseas in war ravaged areas serving proudly with the 2nd Battalion the Rifles but after leaving the army, he suffered with PTSD and even lost close friends through their own PTSD struggles.

John’s story highlighted the further need for support of returning veterans and challenges that are faced after being involved in such distressing situations.

Caring Connections provides a one-to-one bespoke service in a safe, confidential environment.

The therapists are trained in a wide-range of therapies including Cognitive Behavi-

George looking forward to solo show of big band classics Report by Tom Martin IT’S been four years since Bootle singer George Gallagher shot to fame after winning a Frank Sinatra singing contest on the BBC, but he’s not one for looking backwards.

In January 2015, as more than 4.5million viewers watched at home, the 26year-old was named the winner of Frank Sinatra: Our Way for his stunning tribute act of the legendary Ol' Blue Eyes.

But George is not one for dwelling on the past and he is looking forward to headlining his own show with his own band at the Grand Central Hall in Liverpool next month.

He told the Champion: “I always dreamed and wished I would be headlining my own show with my own band backing me but it always seemed like a million miles away.

“This is my third major solo show backed by a big band within seven months and I’m now delighted to finally be able to say ‘I've done that’”.

Although best known for his victory on Frank Sinatra: Our Way, George has been singing ever since he was cast in his school’s musical.

He said: “My first real taste of performing was in school when I acted in a production of Grease: The Musical and I got the part of Kenickie and I knew then I wanted nothing less than to perform on a stage in front of an audience.

“I left school in 2008 and that year entered Merseyside Young Singer of the

Year which I eventually won outright with my version of Bring Him Home.

“This then led me to perform with the wonderful Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in Victoria Park in Southport in front of 6,000 people”.

Some of George’s notable performances since then includes singing at the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo in London for Frank Sinatra's centenary concert.

He has also been booked for corporate and public events across Merseyside, including variety shows at Bootle Town Hall.

Next month’s show at Grand Central Hall, which will be held on Friday, March 29, will be a celebration not just of Frank Sinatra, but other musical legends including Tony Bennett, Bobby Darrin, Elvis Presley and Tom Jones.

George said: “This show is going to be a lot different to my last two previous solo shows.

“I have some brand new electric arrangements that I'm hoping the crowd will love, I have some of Liverpool's finest vocalists joining me on stage and also there will be one or two surprises from myself that people will definitely not be expecting!

“People can expect a show full of music that celebrates the legends of years gone by. I've always been a huge fan of big band music and now I try and incorporate big showstopping songs from the likes of Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck to name a few. People absolutely love this type of music and I love performing it for them.”

George Gallagher

When asked about his hopes for the next few years, George said: “Who knows what the future brings, I'm so lucky to be doing what I do for a living already but I'm going to keep working hard and keep reaching for them stars.”

For information on tickets, visit the website www.skiddle.com and search for George Gallagher.

Railway bridge over canal to be replaced Work will be done to coincide with platform upgrade project Report by Tom Martin A RAILWAY bridge over the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Bootle is to be replaced.

The work will coincide with the project to upgrade platforms on the Merseyrail network for its new fleet of trains so there should be no extra disruption to rail users.

Network Rail say the work will ‘ensure the bridge is kept safe for the next 100 years.’

The existing bridge deck will be removed between Monday, February 18 and 22, and a 1,000 tonne crane will be used to install a new deck.

Network Rail scheme project manager, Chris Atkins, said: “Working with Merseyrail, we have rescheduled the renewal of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal railway bridge to fit in with the closure of the Southport line while platforms are upgraded.

“This will mean that passengers will have the least amount of disruption while we deliver significant benefits to the railway on Merseyside.

“Both pieces of work are essential. One will prepare the Merseyrail network for the arrival of its new trains.

“The other will ensure the railway bridge that supports the railway in Bootle is kept safe for the next 100 years.

Merseyrail’s platform upgrades, which has forced commuters to use rail replacement buses, is part of a wider programme of improvements to accommodate new trains from 2020.

Specialist school has plans to expand to welcome more pupils

Milly in fundraising bid to fulfil her dream

Report by Tom Martin A SPECIALIST school is planning to expand and offer more places for children.

Olsen House School, on Liverpool Road, Crosby is an independent school for youngsters with Special Educational Needs and currently has a maximum capacity for 40 pupils.

The school has submitted plans to Sefton Council for permission to build an extension to provide a kitchen, refurbish the existing classrooms, create a bigger car park and carry out alterations to the outdoor area following the demolition of the existing mobile classroom and storage building.

If the plans are approved it could increase the school capacity to 55 pupils and lead to the employment of three more teachers and three learning support assistants.

The planning application states: “The intention of this project is to internally reconfigure and refurbish classroom and general space whilst adding a small extension that will ultimately provide the school with an increased registration from 40 young people to 55.

“There will be no change in the type of young people the school will be accommodating with the school continuing to provide placements for young people presenting with social, emotional and mental health issues and ASC (autism spectrum condition).

“It is anticipated that the overall increase in young people numbers will be supported by a maximum further three teachers and three learning support assistants when at full capacity.

“The size of the new extension is based on the size of dining area and kitchen required to support a school with 55 pupils together with a covered link to improve circulation between all parts of the existing building and the new dining facility.

Report by Tom Martin

Olsen House School, on Liverpool Road

“It is considered that the alterations and extension proposed will have little or no impact on the existing uses in the wider area surrounding the site whilst providing additional employment and most importantly, the opportunity to receive specialist structured education to a greater number of children that would otherwise be excluded from mainstream education.”

Olsen House School is owned by Kedleston Group and approved by the Department for Education and Skills as an independent special school for children with Special Educational Needs and is rated by Ofsted as ‘Good’. tom.martin@champnews.com

A BOOTLE pupil who has always dreamt of becoming a professional dancer is desperately trying to fundraise to help pay to enrol at a prestigious academy.

Milly Glynn, 16, who attends Hillside High School, has been offered a place at the highly-regarded Morea Performing Arts, in Cheltenham, but must raise £15,000 per year for the three year course.

The youngster has been dancing since the young age of three when she joined North Liverpool Dance Academy and has never looked back since.

She has described dancing “as my life” and dreams of becoming a professional dancer or dance teacher when she’s older.

She said: “After 13 years of hard work my dream came true, I got the news that my audition was successful and I was one of the lucky few to be offered a place at the top performing arts college in the country to study dance and performing arts for three years.

“It is an honour to be offered a chance to do something I’ve wanted to do my whole life and something that will give me the skills and experience to make a career out of something I’m so passionate about. I have been given a short window to come up with funding and accept their offer or risk losing out on something I’ve worked towards my whole life.

“I started dance at the age of three at North Liverpool Dance Academy and have never looked back. It has given me unbelievable experiences performing all over the country and abroad. It has made me the person I am today and dancing is my life.

“I dance five days a week and also coach younger children in my spare time to give something back and pass on the joy dance has given me.

“In my life dance has always been an escape, a way to express myself even through the most difficult times. Luckily for me, what many people call a

Milly. Picture by @taylorlifestyleportrait

Community hub in appeal for volunteers Report by Tom Martin

Terry Carroll (managing director of The Carroll Group) and Tony Loughran (operations manager for Amianto Services)

Asbestos removal firm given health and safety award Report by Tom Martin A BOOTLE-BASED asbestos removal firm has been given special accreditation for their health and safety.

Amianto Services, on Dunningsbridge Road, was awarded the accolade by Alcumus SafeContractor, for their high standards.

Established in 2017, Amianto Services handles licensed and non-licensed asbestos removals across Merseyside.

SafeContractor has become a “prominent third party accreditation scheme which recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management among contractors”.

It is used by thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies.

Tony Loughran, operations manager of Ami-

anto Services, said: “This is a great achievement for Amianto Services. In this industry it is vital to maintain high health and safety standards and this accreditation shows just how important this matter is to us. We look forward to continuing to carry out our work in the Merseyside area as safely and efficiently as possible.”

Amianto Services accreditation comes just months after parent company, The Carroll Group, was also accredited by the same esteemed safety organisation.

Terry Carroll, managing director of Carroll Group, said: “Amianto Services is full of highly driven, skilled and, most importantly, experienced individuals. This accreditation is well deserved and integral in the company’s continuing growth. I would like to thank our operations manager, Tony Loughran, and the rest of the team for their on-going commitment to safety. ”

A COMMUNITY hub in Bootle which provides a wide range of services for the community is appealing for volunteers.

The Strand By Me Community and Health Services Shop, in the Strand Shopping Centre, is looking for more people to join its team.

The shop is a community hub where people can access information and learn about the services and activities on offer in their local community.

More volunteers are needed to work with the public, providing a warm welcome and a listening ear, as well as raising awareness of local events and pointing people in the direction of services they may benefit from.

Mike Howlett, the Sefton CVS Senior Citizenship

and Volunteering officer, said: “People visit Strand

By Me for lots of reasons. You could be speaking to someone looking for a social group for older people one minute, and then dealing with someone who is looking for services around homelessness the next.

“Volunteers won’t be giving advice. However, they will be able to signpost people who visit the shop to services that will be able to help them.

“This is a great opportunity for anyone who likes meeting people and those interested in community work.”

Volunteers will receive training around the services available in Sefton, and regular support and supervision when they are working.

For more information on the Strand By Me volunteer role contact Mike Howlett on 0151 920 0726 or email mike@volunteeringsefton.org.uk Strand By Me is managed by Sefton Council for Voluntary Service.

Drug driver caught due to excessive exhaust fumes A BOOTLE man has been banned from driving for three years after his second conviction for drug driving.

As Paul Houghton, 33, of Celia Street, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on February 6 it was heard he first caught the attention of officers while driving a Ford Focus on Hawthorne Road in Bootle on the afternoon of November 20 as it was “expelling” a lot of smoke from the exhaust.

Prosecutor Angela Blackmore said he was pulled over when checks showed that the car’s MOT had

ject to a mandatory three year ban.

Solicitor Vicky Balinsky said Houghton had been driving his brother’s car and wasn’t aware the MOT has expired. Emphasising that he was under the limit for cannabis, she said he had taken cocaine the previous weekend and though the by-product was still in his system, the cocaine wasn’t.

The magistrates fined him £120, ordered that he pay cost and victim surcharge of £115 and banned him from driving for the mandatory three years.

expired. He was subsequently tested for drugs because he and the car smelt of cannabis, she said, though no drugs were found on him.

The results showed he had been driving with 84 micrograms of benzoylecgonine per litre of blood –the legal limit being 50 mcg/l. Benzoylecgonine is produced in the liver on the breakdown of cocaine.

Mrs Blackmore told the court that Houghton had a drug driving conviction from 2016. She said due to the offence being within a ten year period, he would therefore be sub-

Council to assess its disability services SEFTON Council will look at new ways to improve its own Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) services after commissioning a new assessment.

The local authority has tasked researchers at Edge Hill University to undertake an evaluation of their SEND

services in the borough.

The evaluation will involve getting feedback from parents and carers with children and young people who have SEND and aims to help shape and improve the service.

Key partners including schools, and health and care services will also be asked to

give their views.

The results will then be used to inform policy and development of activities and services related to the needs of young people aged under 25 years with a special educational need or disability.

Man jailed for trying to fly drone carrying drugs into prison Report by Tom Martin

Transform your garden with an easigrassTM artificial lawn

NO MUD, NO MES S, NO MOWING Plan your outdoor space with easigrassTM Whether you are looking to freshen up a lawn or you are putting together a whole new garden, investing in easigrass is a great way to transform outdoor space. easigrass is becoming ever popular due to its low maintenance, realistic look and dream garden appeal. There’s no mud or mess, no cutting or weeding and it creates beautiful outdoor spaces for family and friends to enjoy.

A MAN who tried to fly a drone into Liverpool Prison to transport drugs and mobile phones to inmates has been jailed for five years.

Anthony Cheeney, 29, of Peter Road, Walton, was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, February 6.

The court heard how officers noticed the drone on Hornby Road at around 9pm on Thursday, August 31 2017.

The drone was then observed crashing nearby and was recovered, with Class A and B drugs as well as mobile phones and sim cards all found attached.

Enquiries identified Cheeney and he was arrested and charged with conveying prohibited articles into prison.

Speaking after the sentencing, Detective Constable Chris

The drone which was seized.

Anthony Cheeney

Cook said: “These sentences demonstrate the effective partnership working between Merseyside Police and the prison service.

“We are vigilant at all times to attempts to bring items into our prisons, and this and previous sentences should send a message to those who involve themselves in this kind of beha-

viour that they run the risk of being jailed for a significant time for criminal activity, which comes at high risk with low reward.

“The security of prisons is of paramount importance and any attempts to breach this security will be treated extremely seriously.

“Anyone attempting to bring contraband into a prison will be dealt with robustly to identify, not only those outside of the prison but also those inmates who seek to bypass the law.”

Locals urged to go to pharmacy for minor health concerns SEFTON residents are being urged to see a pharmacist about minor health concerns instead of going to the GP. Health commissioners in the borough say pharmacy teams offer a fast and convenient clinical service for minor health concerns with no appointment needed and use of a private consultation room should it be required.

Susanne Lynch, head of medicines management at NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group said: “I urge everyone to make full use of their local pharmacist all year round; they use their clinical expertise together with their practical knowledge to give you the best advice.

“Health services can often become really busy and overstretched over winter. By visiting your local pharmacy with any minor health concerns, you will avoid waiting for an appointment.

“Our pharmacists can advise you on what over the counter medicines you may need in this cold weather and let you know about any side effects of medication so it is beneficial to ask their advice.”

According the NHS , 27% of GP appointments in England could potentially be treated elsewhere.

You can walk into your pharmacy, without an appointment and they will be able to offer advice.

Good rating for home care provider Report by Henry James

The new Blacks store at Aintree Retail Park.

Outdoor retailers Blacks open store at retail park OUTDOOR retailer Blacks opened a new store at Aintree Shopping Park on Monday, February 11.

The store itself takes the place of Maplin, creating around ten new jobs.

Blacks has described this new 4,300 square foot store as an “exciting addition” to its portfolio.

Shoppers can also order goods online and collect in the Aintree Blacks store.

This is Blacks’ 58th store, and

the company are expanding their presence throughout the UK. Chris McGuinnity, head of retail at Blacks commented: “Despite challenging circumstances in the current retail climate, we’re thrilled to be growing our UK store presence and are particularly happy to become a key part of the Aintree community.”

A HOME care provider Right at Home Sefton based in Maghull has received a good rating in their first inspection from the CQC. The service was rated good for safety, good for effectiveness, good for responsiveness, good for being well led and for caring it was rated outstanding.

Jonathan Beckett, co-managing director at Right at Home Sefton said: “We were recently inspected for the first time having traded for just over a year and despite being told ‘no new business ever gets an outstanding’ we were in fact rated good across the board but awarded an outstanding rating in the caring domain.

“We are super proud as we are also the fastest growing business in the award winning Right at Home UK Franchise Network with the head office based out of Burlington House in Waterloo.

“The inspector observed evidence of Right at Home Sefton being, ‘an exceptionally well led business’.

“The role of a caregiver is so often underestimated in society and we are desperate

“We came into this industry as we had experienced poor standards of care for loved ones, we knew there must be a way to do things better than we had witnessed, we wanted to truly change the perception of Homecare within the community and try to balance the negative with some real stories of positivity.

LETTERS to the Editor

Let’s have a referendum on councillors

So Maghull Town Council leader Patrick McKinley is worried about flooding in the town.

Maybe he should have thought about this before the recent referendum in which we were told 86% of the people voted to accept the Neighbourhood Plan but not how many bothered to vote.

Having asked a number of friends and neighbours it has become obvious that many voters did not bother to vote.

Our MP and councillors keep telling us of the effect of government cuts but they have no effect on councillors wages and expenses.

We have a lord mayor of Sefton then mayor of Southport, Bootle, Formby Crosby, Maghull, Lydiate, Aintree etc.

We have 66 councillors on Sefton Council then we have district councils which must number in the region of at least 250 councillors all claiming expenses money which could be used for nurseries, police, nursing homes ,fire stations We could remove at least 50% of our councillors and save money.

Could I suggest a referendum on this or are the councillors afraid of the result?

Lydiate resident, By email

Tell us what deal you will vote for MP Bill Esterson photoed fellow MPs in the ‘No’ lobby during the defeat of PM Theresa May’s Brexit deal.

So whilst we know that Mr Esterson does not like May ’s deal what Brexit solution does he like?

I ask because to date I have contacted his office five times in recent weeks asking him to let me know where he stands over Brexit.

Sadly, I have received no response at all.

Is it too much to ask your MP for their view on a matter and to expect a reply?

Tony Robertson, Lydiate

Car park badly Get on your bike needs repairing for the British Heart Foundation Re: Article in the Champion on the elderly woman who was badly injured after she fell over uneven paving at Sainsbury’s car park in Crosby.

I fully endorse Margaret Dunn’s plea concerning the poor condition of the car park at Sainsbury’s.

This has been in a very dangerous state for years and many people have had falls.

It will be a relief to many shoppers when this car park is brought to a safe state.

Repair work on this car park has been long awaited.

Be consistent on green belt land

Police should uphold the law

How come the rest of Sefton Liberal Democrats are so accommodating towards the travellers setting up site on green belt land in Melling without permission?

These same councillors are normally against anything being built on green belt land especially low cost homes for local people.

A planning application for a gyspy site at Spurriers Lane in Melling was rejected by the council planning committee but the travellers ignored the ruling.

A peaceful demonstration was dismissed by the police.

We have been told an increase in this year’s council tax is to fund additional services by the police but they do not apply the basic function of applying the rule of law.

Blocking road off is only way to stop ‘rat run’ motorists Re: ‘Council plan more action to tackle rat run.’

There is already a no-right turn sign in place.

One side faces Moor Lane and shows ‘No Entry.’

The reverse of the sign shows ‘No Right Turn’.

It’s also painted on the road and the road has been shaped to force cars out at an angle positioned to merge into the traffic in the left lane.

No further work is needed.

By making it one way in the direction from Edge Lane to Moor Lane they made it an official ‘rat run’ as that’s the direction of the traffic at busy periods.

So much so that now, drivers coming from Brooms Cross approach the Moor Lane/Edge Lane traffic lights in the left lane, turn onto Edge Lane then immediately turn right and double back along The Crescent.

The entire work carried out last year has made the issue worse not better.

pic

of the week

They should just block the end of The Crescent up similar to Edgemoor Drive.

If that’s the best solution to stop rat runs on Edgemoor, why not The Crescent?

Scott, Crosby.

If Sefton Council really want to act on Thornton’s most dangerous rat run road.

They should do same as Edgemoor Drive and block it off completely.

Nothing else will work the idiots who use this road can’t be reasoned with.

They are dumb.

Act now, act fast and block it now!

Re: Champion article on The Crescent ‘rat run’ in Thornton.

There is actually a ‘No right turn’ sign at the moment and on the reverse a ‘No Entry’ sign.

I have twice witnessed taxis ignoring the ‘No Entry’sign and entering into The Crescent.

On one of these occasions (it was gone 6pm) I had entered The Crescent from Edge Lane

He then mounted the paved parking area to his left onto the main road.

I have also seen drivers turning left onto Edge Lane from Broom Cross and either turn right into The Crescent or still doing a left at the lights immediately do a right across a gap in the traffic over the cobble paved area to exit onto the main road towards Moor Lane.

Report by Tom Martin

A NEW rugby league club could be formed in Sefton.

The former owner of Salford Red Devils rugby league club Marwan Koukash is hoping to form a new club based in the Liverpool area and he says the ground could be in Sefton.

Mr Koukash relinquished control of the Red Devils in January 2018 after five years as owner of the Super League club.

He, and two other businessmen, have plans to form a new club which they hope could enter the league structure in 2021 or 2022.

Mr Koukash said there is a lot of groundwork to be done but had been “in discussions with the council and we’ve got options on a ground, which I think will end up being in the Sefton area.”

He added: “We’re going to build a new ground and get started as soon as we can.

“We're open to starting in League One, or the alternative maybe is we are told by the Rugby Football League that it might be easier to buy an existing club and re-brand it.

“I'm a great believer in big brands and I think it would be fantastic to have a team like Liverpool playing a team like Leeds on television.

“That would have a massive influence on people because, while St Helens-Wigan was

The nearest major rugby league teams to Liverpool are currently Super League side St Helens and Championship club Widnes which are both within around 15 miles of Liverpool, but there is no professional club in the city.

Thinking of Moving House?

Moving house, re-mortgaging or dealing with the sale of a property when handling a Probate matter can be a stressful process at the best of times. When choosing which solicitor to instruct to deal with the legal aspects of the transaction, you need to be confident that they can handle the matter professionally, efficiently and still provide a personal service.

Equity Schemes and of course Help to Buy ISA’s. We are also able to give advice on Occupiers Consent and Deeds of Guarantee.

We have served the local community since the early 1800’s and have dealt with a huge variety of property transactions over the years.

Our conveyancing team is one of the most experienced in the area. We offer a high quality service and the Conveyancing Department at Dickinson Parker Hill was the first in Ormskirk to be awarded the Conveyancing Quality Scheme and was one of the first firms to be awarded this in the country.

We can visit you at home if you are unable to call into the office and at the end of the conveyancing process we offer free storage for legal documents such as title deeds, Wills and Powers of Attorney.

So many conveyancing firms no longer offer the type of service which we believe a quality, professional conveyancing service demands.

We pride ourselves on providing a high quality service mixing new technology with old fashioned service and professionalism.

Your matter will be handled by an experienced conveyancer, rather than just an automated computer system and you will be able to deal with the conveyancer handling your matter, from start to finish, rather than having your transaction handled by a large impersonal team of file handlers. Our offices are always open during normal office hours and you will receive a warm welcome should you require an appointment.

Our team has a wide range of experience in all aspects of Conveyancing work including, sales, purchases, re-mortgages, new builds, Local Authority Right to Buy schemes, equity release mortgages and we also have experience in shared ownership properties.

We can deal with Help to Buy Government

Whilst we proudly serve our local area including Ormskirk, Southport and throughout Lancashire and Merseyside, we are also able to deal with conveyancing matters throughout England and Wales.

PROPERTY MATTERS

We can also provide advice in other areas of law including Family, Wills and Probate, Inheritance and Tax Planning, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection matters, Employment, Accidents and Claims and a wide range of Commercial Law for business clients. We are also one of the few firms in the North West to offer the services of a Notary Public.

Catholic Church leader will visit his former school in the summer Report by Tom Martin THE leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales will visit his former school in Crosby to help celebrate their century anniversary.

St Mary’s College, founded in 1919, will stage special musical, sporting and reunion gatherings across 2019 to mark the 100-year milestone.

For the centrepiece of the programme, the school will welcome back one of its most famous former pupils, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster and leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales.

Cardinal Nichols will be the VIP guest at a service of thanksgiving and celebration dinner at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral on Saturday, June 15.

The school will also stage two special centenary concerts featuring performances from pupils past and present.

‘St Mary’s at the Movies’ will be held at Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall on Saturday, March 23 and will be followed by the college’s centenary Proms in the Park music and fireworks extravaganza at its Blundell Park playing field on Saturday, July 13.

On the sporting front the school has scheduled a special cricket match against a team representing the prestigious Lord’s-based MCC club on Wednesday, July 3.

Later in the year former pupils will be invited to take part in a major sporting reunion event at Blundell Park on Friday, December 27, with some further music reunion events planned for the same day for good measure.

Other activities over the course of the centenary year will include back to school tours and lectures

Cardinal Vincent Nichols

for former students so they can find out about life at the college today.

Similarly, back in time activities will enable current pupils to discover what life was like at St. Mary ’s for their predecessors.

St Mary’s Principal, Mike Kennedy, said: “2019 is a very important year for the college, and our aim has been to come up with a varied programme of activities that does justice to our proud history.

“We hope that it includes something for everyone, and we extend a cordial invitation to all former pupils, members of staff and their families to come along and celebrate this important milestone with us.”

facilities and youth population.

The data, which was selected by BBC News, also looks at ‘going out’ and the number of bars, pubs, clubs and music events in each local authority.

The project carried out a poll of more than 1,000 young people to help ensure that the measures used are important to them.

Sefton scored 4 points of out 10, compared to nearby authorities Lancashire, which did better with 5/10 and Liverpool which, at 7/10, came out of the survey as the second best city in England to live if you are under 26. Manchester got 6/10.

Cardiff was named as the best place for young people to live in the whole of the UK, followed by Nottingham and then Liverpool.

Sefton scored highly on the proportion of the area with good 4G signal at 92% giving it a 9 out of 10 score.

In Mental Health Care the proportion of monthly NHS mental health therapy targets hit was 100%, giving it 10/10.

In the Rent category the average price per bedroom was £275, giving the local authority a score of 8/10.

However, it fell down in other areas for example Bus Services where the number of journeys per day was 775 and metres of bus routes per square km was 3,709 which produced a score of 3/10.

In the Going Out category the number of bars, clubs and pubs was 256 and music events 32, which gave Sefton its lowest score of just 1 out of 10.

For ‘Wild Land’ - the proportion of area that is natural land totalled 17% giving Sefton 3/10 and for Employment, the number of young people claiming welfare benefits per 1,000 equalled 50 which produced another score of 3/10.

The number of sports facilities was 153 to give another 3/10 score while for Youth Population the percentage of young people aged 16-25 moving out of the area was 11% (733 people) which produced a score of 2/10.

Martin Mere news Make a Splash at the North West Puddle Jumping Championships During February Half Term This February half term, children of all ages are bein encouraged to grab their wellies, get outside being and join in the North West Puddle Jumping Ch Championships being held at WWT Martin Mere in Bur Burscough, Lancashire.

Ch Children will compete against each other to see wh can produce the biggest splash from their who pu puddle jump – as measured by special splashoo-meters.

They will also be judged on their en enthusiasm and jumping style. Daily winners will be announced throughout the half term and lucky ‘s ‘super-splashers’ will receive fantastic prizes!

A well as the main puddle jumping competition As a area, there will be a practice zone set up to help e entrants perfect their splashing techniques. The c craft room will also be open daily for puddle j jumping themed arts and crafts.

V Victoria Fellowes from Martin Mere said: “We know that children love nothing more than

to splash about in puddles, so we thought we’d give them the chance to channel their inner splasher through our puddle jumping competition.

We’ve really perfected the championships this year, with a brilliant competition area, a practice puddle zone, additional welly related activities, great prizes and expert judging panels.

It’s all a lot of fun and we know that children who love puddles often grow up to be adults that love the outdoors.

So through these championships we’re gently nurturing a love that may help protect wetlands and the wildlife that depend on them for years to come.”

As well as the puddle jumping area, visitors can attend daily talks and feeds to find out more about some of the species at the centre, explore our grounds and reserve, play in our adventure playground, grab a tasty treat from our café and check out our amazing gift shop.

High speed rail vision to cut travel times to London and Manchester

Cyclists are fine - so long as they ride in single file LET'S be clear about this. I do not hate cyclists.

Not many of them anyway.

Yes, we all know of the stupid ones who have the idea that rules for traffic lights, zebra crossings, and pavements do not apply to them, but the vast majority simply enjoy their bikes and the exercise.

In my teenage years (I come from a generation when we still had teenagers, rather than young adults) I rode my Raleigh ‘Blue Streak’ (quite the bees knees in the early '60s) not, perhaps for pleasure as such, but as a means of getting around.

And more particularly, because I lived in Maghull but went to school in Crosby, my mum would give me half of the bus fare if I cycled to school.

Occasionally though my brother George and I would set off just for a bike ride - Ormskirk was a favourite destination - and we always cycled in line so as to keep out of the way of motorised traffic.

Now I know that if you have an interest, say in cycling, it can often be more fun and sometimes financially prudent, to join a club made up of folk with a similar interest.

And in the particular case of cyclists, this will obviously mean peddling off with fellow club members for a healthy day out in the open air.

So yes, a lengthy string of cyclists is bound to be a hazard for motorists intent on getting wherever they are going, but I reckon it’s reasonable to put up with the occasional hold-up while you wait for a suitable chance to overtake in safety.

Unhappily though, too often these groups of happy cyclists decide they want to chat to each other - which is when they cease to be a reasonable feature of the road and become, to put it bluntly, a bloody menace.

The other day I was on the bus to Champion Towers in Southport. Quite a pleasant journey, mainly through countryside, and I usually spend the time reading my book, which is what I was doing when I realised the bus was travelling particularly slowly and looked around for the cause.

I didn’t have to look far.

Ahead of us was a gaggle of happy cyclists - but it wasn't the number that was causing the problem.

The road was narrow, yet these intrepid bike riders were obviously in a sociable mood and were riding sometimes side by side chatting, occasionally a third would join in, and the bus was stuck.

Not for a minute or two, but literally for at least a mile.

A fed up motorist behind, eventually decided enough was enough and dangerously overtook both bus and cyclists - no doubt recorded on a number of faithful head-cams to be used in evidence in case of accident.

Which can never be the cyclist’s fault of course.

The fact is these cyclists were completely oblivious to the fact that their behaviour was causing frustration and road rage, for other traffic.

I bet that if any one of them was driving a car and was held up for a lengthy period by, say, a caravan, they would start to mutter things like ‘Why can't he pull over for a while and let the traffic through?’ Now I’m not even suggesting that those bike riders should have to do that - but they could perhaps ride in two or three groups with a goodly gap between them, and not ride two or more abreast on a narrow road without a thought for the traffic piling up behind them.

I hope I am not a killjoy, but I felt for our bus driver who was steadily losing time on his schedule, and I could understand the frustration of the car driver who undoubtedly took a big risk in his overtaking manoeuvre.

I might well have the full weight of the cycling fraternity ringing the bell (if only most of them had one) and calling ‘time’ on my ramblings.

But, as my old mum used to say: “It's only for your own good!�

TRAIN commuters could travel to Manchester in only 22 minutes and London in 85 minutes under a ÂŁ70billion proposal unveiled to link Liverpool to the high speed rail network.

Transport for the North (TfN) published a Strategic Transport Plan and Investment Programme which shows a proposal to connect the city to HS2 via a new twin-track line between Liverpool and Manchester, and then onto other Northern cities.

The rail link between Liverpool and Manchester would connect to HS2 from London to Manchester, giving Liverpool much faster links to London.

It is expected that journey times between Liverpool and Manchester will be around 22 minutes and between Liverpool and London 85 minutes.

Police precept increase is given the go-ahead PROPOSALS for an increase in the police precept on this year’s council tax bills have been approved.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy submitted the request for an increase after holding a public consultation to find out if residents would be willing to pay more to help protect 100 officers’ jobs and recruit 40 more.

The move follows a budget announcement in December when the government said local council precept payers must pay more to avoid further cuts in police jobs. Council tax bills include a police precept, which is used to support police budgets.

The increase agreed equates to approximately 31p a week or £16 a year for a Band A household, the lowest Council Tax category but which represents the majority of council tax payers on Merseyside.

The police precept is collected alongside the council tax.

Sefton Central Labour MP Bill Esterson said: “The plan to increase police funding via the precept gives more affluent areas of the UK an opportunity to increase their funding by proportionally higher amounts than less well off areas, even if they have

suffered lower cuts to their central government funding and have lower crime rates.

“Using council tax to pay for increased funding for the police is perverse, fundamentally unfair and dangerous. Wealthier areas where there are more higher band properties will be able to raise more, and these are often the areas where there is less serious crime.

“Merseyside has seen a 26% increase in violent crime over the last 12 months alone. Hampshire meanwhile has seen a 4% increase. Hampshire will raise £16.5m from increasing their police precept by the maximum, whereas Merseyside can collect less than £9m. How can this be fair or sensible?

How is it doing anything other than making those areas in greatest need of police support less safe?

“Hard-pressed local taxpayers will bear the burden for funding police forces. This will hit areas with a low council tax base hardest meaning that those areas which have lost the most through the cut in the central government grant will receive the least.

“This approach to funding by the Conservatives is dangerous and is reckless as well as being unfair.”

Peel Ports donates £3,000 PEEL Ports has made a £3,000 donation to Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

Anthony Meakin, a Peel Ports site manager at Irlam, was on hand to donate the money to the hospital in West Derby.

Anthony’s 11 year old daughter, Lily-Rose, is no stranger to hospital staff because of an on-going ear condition and is preparing

herself for an operation at the hospital in April.

Speaking after the donation was made, Anthony said: “The work Alder Hey do is incredible.

“The staff are unbelievably committed to providing the best care for children and their families and we cannot thank them enough for what they do.

“This donation reflects the

positive impact the hospital has had on the wider Peel Ports workforce, and the commitment we have to ensuring our work environment remains safe.”

The donation to Alder Hey will go towards funding of the world-leading research and care carried out at the children’s hospital, which helps over 275,000 young people and their families each year.

not even sure we even really put much thought into it!

“The band and the music has evolved greatly over time – and I should think so, it would be pretty terrible if we had sounded the same all that time! There's nothing worse than mutton dressed as lamb! We are only ever as good as the people involved and our song-writing has changed but we have essentially kept our sound and that’s important to us.”

MOTORS

Morgan is still going strong 110 years after launching its first car - and our motoring man David Simister is definitely a fan of the brand

If I won the Lottery, the first thing that I’d do would be to order a Morgan!

SUPPOSE Donald Trump – a US president who, whether you love him or loathe him, once vowed to sort out North Korea by chomping on cheeseburgers with Kim Jong-un – starts a nuclear war.

Without wanting to go all Where The Wind Blows on you, I reckon there’s a fair chance all of us would be completely obliterated in the subsequent missile exchange – except, of course, the cockroaches.

And Morgan, I’d like to bet. Even in the most ridiculously over-thetop post-apocalyptic scenario I reckon there’ll still be a queue of people cheerily lining up to buy a Plus 4, completely unmoved by whatever ’s going on in the wider world because they’re delighted that

there’s no longer a seven-year waiting list.

The Malvern sports car manufacturer just quietly got on with doing its bit through two World Wars. It shrugged off The Great Depression, the Three Day Week and The Credit Crunch. Where Armstrong-Siddeley, Austin-Healey, Alvis and Ascari have all come and gone (and those are just the defunct Brit carmakers beginning with ‘A’), Morgan’s just carried on regardless.

Which is why I suspect, that in a week when Nissan announced it was pulling X-Trail production from Sunderland, Jaguar Land Rover posted a £3.4 bn quarterly loss and Ford’s global profits dipped by 50 per cent, Morgan’s announced record profits for the third year running. Despite, as it turns out, actually making fewer cars than it did a year ago.

All this even though there are many people – including lots of devoted car nuts – who hate MorCAR SALES gans.

Cartwright scores winner to finish off a special day for the Bucks Bootle 2 Winsford United 1 BOOTLE defender Ben Cartwright had a Saturday afternoon to remember, writes Connor O’Neill.

The defender scored the winning goal in his side’s 2-1 win over Winsford United - before being named Man of the Match and the clubs Player of the Month for the January after the game.

Cartwright's second-half header came after Dave Short had cancelled out Ryan Cox's first-half opener.

The centre back has been an ever-present for Joe Doran's side since he arrived at the club in December from fellow Hallmark Security Premier Division side, Ashton Athletic, and is yet to taste defeat for the Bucks.

The victory here though, which was the Bucks' tenth straight in the Hallmark Security League, had a little bit more significance to it, as City of Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands Runcorn Town.

That resulted in the Bucks

moving within eight points of the current league leaders - while Doran's side also has a game in hand on the Purps.

And while this was by no means the Bucks' best performance of the season, the manner in which they managed to grind all thee points will no doubt have delighted boss Doran.

After a scrappy start, the Bucks opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time with Cox, like he so often is, on hand to turn the ball home from close-range.

To their credit, though, Winsford, who currently lie in 17th, rallied and levelled just after the hour mark.

Bootle goalkeeper Jack McGovern hesitated when racing out of his box, allowing Short to loop the ball over him and into the empty net.

But with seventeen minutes remaining the Bucks won it.

Ste Jones swung in a corner from the right, with Cartwright rising highest inside a crowded penalty area to head the ball home.

Table tennis club set to build new facility

A TABLE tennis club in Crosby has been given permission for ambitious plans to build a new sports facility on Marine Football Club's car park.

Sefton Council has approved a proposal for Bath Street Marine

Table Tennis Club to construct a new base in the car park of the Marine Travel Arena, on College Road.

The club is currently based within a building owned by Marine FC, but this will be demolished as part of a stadium revamp project.

Mariners step things up in second half to extend unbeaten run Marine 3 Mickleover 0 AN in-form Marine side eased to a 3-0 victory over lowly Mickleover Sports to continue their impressive run since the start of the year.

The Mariners are now unbeaten in their six league matches in 2019 and have moved up to 15th place in the table with the three points on Saturday to surely put an end to any lingering fears they may end the season in a dogfight to avoid relegation.

They began the match slowly but an impressive second half performance saw them pick up three points.

The first half began with some pressure from the visitors, and January’s Player of the Month Sam Barnes made two crucial

interventions to deny early goals for Mickleover, including a goal-line clearance.

It took half an hour for Marine to fashion their first chance of the game, Niall Cummins' shot going wide before Charley Edge saw a shot go over the bar.

Steve Irwin had a couple of chances as well just before half-time, seeing his shot saved by Mickleover stopper Lewis King before whipping in a cross which was quickly cleared away.

The second half was a completely different affair, after manager Neil Young made a half-time attacking substitution by bringing Craig Carney on for defender Sam Tattum.

Carney created a couple of chances straight away, Danny Mitchley nearly latching onto his cross after some great work out wide.

He got a deserved goal just ten minutes after entering the fray, when Charley Edge's cross was headed down by Cummins for Carney to put the hosts ahead.

Marine continued their pressure following the opener, Mitchley going close with a couple of efforts before Cummins doubled the lead following a shot against the crossbar from Carney.

Edge was a constant outlet from the flanks, and one of his many threatening crosses caused Ben Turner to turn the ball into his own net to make it 3-0.

Marine never let up in the second-half, Irwin with a late flurry of chances before full-time as the Whites continued their incredible start to 2019.

Marine travel to Hednesford Town on Saturday.

Waterloo answer critics with comfortable win Firwood Waterloo 37 Anselmians 6 FIRWOOD Waterloo answered any of their erstwhile critics in the best possible way with a bonus point 37-6 win over Anselmians which head coach Stuart Turner admitted he left with a feeling of “satisfaction and relief.”

He said: “We have been low on confidence in recent weeks and certainly in the first half we did look tentative.

“But we knew we had the beating of the opposition and a few words of encouragement at half time appeared to have done the trick.”

Firwood Waterloo came into this game in 12th place in the North One West table and,

although they remain in the danger zone, with only six points separating them from sixth place Stockport, the battle not to join Anselmians and De La Salle is now really on.

“We know we have a job on our hands as it is very tight in that part of the league.

“But we have some crucial fixtures coming up which if we play with the same commitment as we did in the second half today we know we can win,” he stated.

In a tight first half following, an exchange of penalties, Darragh O’Brien for Firwood Waterloo, the sides’ were tied at 6-6.

Good pressure by the Firwood Waterloo pack ended with the ball spun wide with Lee Ferrier on hand to go over for the opening try to

afford the home side an 11-6 lead at the interval.

The second half proved a much different story as Firwood Waterloo began to discover opportunities in the Anselmians defence.

A break by Joe Bradford and a neat off load got Ferrier over for his second with a break from Connor Scrivens opening up the gap for O'Brien to scamper over for a second, the scrum half also adding the conversion.

With a 23-6 lead Firwood Waterloo looked far more comfortable in the game. Forward pressure and some forceful pick and go play got Josh Jenkins over for the bonus score, again O'Brien adding the extras.

In the closing stages Jack Weare managed to

draw in the opposition defence before firing out a superb long pass for Jacob Allen who cut inside some would be defenders to cross for the fifth, O’Brien on hand to slot the conversion.

“It was a good win and we played some good rugby in the second half,” Turner stated.

“However equally pleasing for me was that we kept our line intact with some well marshalled defence.”

Firwood Waterloo have a crucial game away at Warrington, who are just two points above them, on Saturday.

Turner added: “It is a game we really need to go out and win but after today's performance we can go there with confidence restored.”
