POLICE SEND A VALENTINE’S DAY MESSAGE TO CRIMINAL GANGS North West Marine and Underwater Search Unit search the canal

CANALS, parks and alleyways were just some of the areas searched in Bootle as police left no stone unturned in their mission to crackdown on organised crime.

Officers spent Valentine’s Day (Friday, February 14) proving they have no love lost for gang-related crime and they spent a full morning searching criminal hotspots in the town.

The searches resulted in the discovery of a large quantity of Class B drugs, as well as a discarded safe and a rifle in the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

Police also issued warrants at a number of addresses, including on Green Lane and Bellini Close, which resulted in six arrests.

Three women aged 42, 33 and 38 were

Report by Tom Martin arrested following a warrant on Green Lane as well as two women aged 22 and 28 and a 38 year old man who were also arrested following a warrant on Bellini Close; all on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs.

Inspector Beth Blake said: “I am really pleased with the efforts of all police officers and staff who took part in this day of action. A key part of our operational activity involves using a variety of resources so we can search the area effectively, engage with the wider community and identify those involved in criminal activity.

A MAN from Litherland was caught red handed with a loaded gun hanging on the bed where he and a young woman were sleeping.

James Lloyd, 28, claimed he had just been given the lethal Glock self-loading pistol and ammunition to mind but a judge threw his story out of court.

“The reason you had it was for your own self-protection and you would have used it if that had been necessary,” Judge Stuart Driver, QC, told him at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday, February 13.

The court heard police who raided the premises in Elizabeth Road, Fazakerley, where the woman, Billy Jo McGee lives, also found body armour.

Lloyd, of Bowland Drive, Litherland, pleaded guilty to possessing a prohibited firearm and 14 rounds of

9mm ammunition and was jailed for a total of five years, which is the statutory minimum term.

Judge Driver told him that he did not accept that he had been minding the items but it was not necessary to have a trial of that issue “as it would not reduce the sentence below five years.”

Lloyd, who has more than 40 previous convictions but none for firearms, appeared in the dock with 19year-old McGee. The couple had previously both pleaded not guilty to the two offences.

Michael Stephenson, prosecuting, said that in light of Lloyd’s guilty plea and a forensic examination which “did not tie McGee to the firearm or the bag the Crown will not pursue the charges against her.” He formally offered no evidence and Judge Driver recorded not guilty verdicts against her.

Mr Stephenson said police had executed a drugs search warrant at the premises at 9.30am on December 2 last year.

Homophobic attack at petrol station left victim needing hospital treatment A MAN at a petrol station in Waterloo was the victim of a sickening homophobic attack when he was punched from behind and had his head stamped on.

The victim, aged in his 40s, was buying alcohol from the Shell Garage, on Crosby Road North at around 12.30am on Thursday, January 30 when he was assaulted by a man.

Police are describing it as a hate crime after he was also subjected to homophobic abuse by his attacker, who left the scene in a private hire taxi along with a female.

Members of the public helped the victim and after he was taken home by a taxi he went to hospital for treatment to his injuries.

Police have so far been unable to use CCTV footage so they are appealing for anyone to come forward who may have captured the attack on a dashcam, witnessed it first hand or has any other information.

Detective Constable Jaclyn Rainford said: “This was a disgraceful, unprovoked attack on a man who had been out for a meal and was on the way home when he stopped at the petrol station.

“We want to speak to all of those members of the public who kindly came to the victim’s assistance but would also ask that anyone with dashcam can check and see if they captured the suspect.

“There is no place in our society for hate crime.

“It is vital that we give our support to anyone who believes they have been left in fear because of who they are.”

Anyone with dashcam or other footage is asked to send it via @MerPolCC, 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

£2k raised to get Mia new finger MORE than £2,000 has been raised to get a young girl from Bootle get a prosthetic finger.

A fundraiser was held at The Lock & Quay pub for Mia Jordan, who is six years old. Mia (pictured right)was born with a form of radial club hand, meaning she had four fingers on her hand and no thumb.

The youngster has recently had surgery when her index finger was used to create a thumb, which has left her with only three fingers. Mia’s family needed to raise money to help pay for a new prosthetic finger for the youngster.

The event, which involved live music and games, helped boost the fundraising to over £2,000. Mia’s mum

Bag of bullets found in park A BAG of bullets was found in a park near to where children play.

Police seized the ammunition following a tip-off from a concerned member of the public who alerted officers on Wednesday, February 12.

The bullets were found in a small, clear bag which had been dropped on the ground next to a tree.

A pensioner who lives near to Derby Park told the Champion: “The park is lovely and I enjoy walking in it so I hope this doesn’t put anyone off.

“Families and children use the park so I’m relieved that police found them because they could be very dangerous

in the wrong hands. Gangs tend to gather in parks because they know they won’t be seen, so avoid the park at night if I can.”

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “Officers found these bullets in Derby Park following information received.

“Do you (the public) know where weapons or ammunition are being stored, carried or used where you are?

“Let us know via @MerPol, 101 or @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111 and we'll make your community safer.”

Community concerns over criminal gangs prompts Valentine’s Day deployment of police From page 1 “These deployments come as a direct response to community concerns and mean we can gain further intelligence to help with our continued investigations into serious and violent crime.

The day began with a ‘street briefing’ to officers in Hapsford Park before community officers carried out drugs warrants.

Meanwhile, officers from the North West Marine and Underwater Search Unit carried out a search of the canal, with alleyways and open patches of land also searched.

Mounted Officers were tasked with patrolling the streets and they spoke with locals to inform them of what officers were doing in the area.

Roads policing officers carried out a roads operation where they stopped 28 cars and 24 taxis, some of which were found to have no insurance, light defects and dangerous tyres and were issued with fixed penalty notices.

Inspector Beth Blake added: “If you would like to report something to us, get in touch via @MerPolCC, call 101 or call @CrimestoppersUK anonymously.”

Events at the Strand

Amy said: “Mia is over the moon with her new thumb and loves showing it off! We have received quotes from a couple of prosthetic clinics and are now just waiting for Mia to heal enough for measuring and casting of her hand. We cannot thank everyone at the Lock & Quay enough!”

Jane Dawe, who helped organise the event, said: “A huge thank you to our amazing team at the Lock & Quay for working so hard and serving always with a smile.

“To everyone who donated prizes for our auction and raffle, everyone who helped on the day and the entertainment. Thanks also to everyone who came along.”

An officer searches an alleyway, while, below, more police search Hapsford Park.

A FREE children’s craft event is being held in the Strand Shopping Centre today (Wednesday, February 19).

The event is in the Palatine Mall section of the centre between 11am-3pm when youngsters can take part in a ‘giant board game experiment’.

The following day (Thursday, February 20) between 11am-3pm there will be a sock puppet workshop, also in the Palatine Mall.

Cash and carry worker stole £10k of booze to pay off his drug debts He and fellow staff member loaded bottles from warehouse into hire van By our Court Reporter

A YOUNG dad from Bootle missed the birth of his second child - as he had to rush from his partner’s bedside to face going straight to jail.

Joseph Stafford and former work mate Steven Hughes stole almost £10,000 worth of goods from their cash-and-carry employer and their sentencing hearing clashed with his partner going into labour.

The 29-year-old came to Liverpool Crown Court knowing he faced a custodial sentence after repeatedly thieving to help pay his cocaine debt including loading bottles of spirits into a hire van but a judge showed him and Hughes mercy and suspended their jail terms.

After Stafford, a structural engineer, left court he wiped away tears and was comforted by relieved friends and relatives.

Christopher Hopkins, prosecuting, said Hughes started working for Parfetts cash and carry in Aintree in April 2018 and Stafford joined the firm on March 4 last year - shortly before the thefts began.

They both worked night shifts processing customers’ online orders and having them ready for collection in the morning.

On May 31 one of their bosses, Christopher Hewitt, arrived at 5.30 am and saw them leaving in a hire van.

He spoke to security staff and reviewing the CCTV footage he saw the two men loading the vehicle with goods from the warehouse.

Internal investigations involving checking further back on the CCTV footage showed Stafford, who does not drive, loading items into Hughes’ car.

Mr Hopkins said that the footage only went back to May 7 but this revealed stolen spirits worth £1,000 being loaded into Hughes’ car in three separ-

ate trips on that date. It was found that between May 7 and May 31 on nine occasions the men had been involved in 26 separate thefts.

One loaded up the goods while the other was responsible for the driving.

When arrested and interviewed Stafford was frank and admitted he had been stealing spirits to sell at £10 a bottle to try to pay off his debt to his drug suppliers and gave Hughes cash for helping him.

In an impact statement the court heard how the two men had been part of a trusted skeleton night crew.

Stafford, of Akenside Street, and Hughes, also 29, of Hornby Road, Bootle, both pleaded guilty to theft. Hughes has no previous convictions but Stafford has a conviction for burglary.

Judge Gary Woodhall sentenced Stafford to six months imprisonment suspended for 12 months and ordered him to carry out 180 hours unpaid work and 20 days rehabilitation activities.

He sentenced Hughes to four months imprisonment suspended for a year and 180 hours unpaid work. He told them: “You’ve been given a chance, comply with the order.”

First image released of Veteran wants to find old £33m neighbourhood friend from armed forces development for area Report by Tom Martin THIS image shows how a £33million ‘neighbourhood development’ will help transform an area of Bootle.

The Champion reported last week how SAFE Regeneration unveiled their plans for the ambitious development, which includes houses, an 80-bed extra care facility and a restaurant/hotel.

SAFE has now revealed Ellis Williams is the chosen architect who will work with structural engineers Clancy Consulting, SI Sealy Associates and BCA Landscape Architects as they look to design the project.

Brian Dawe the CEO of SAFE said: “Everything we have achieved, we have done working in partnership. We believe that everyone deserves to live in a happy, healthy neighbourhood –we are excited to be part of a passionate community that is helping us to shape and create a neighborhood for the future.”

Louise Sheridan, Liverpool Studio director – Ellis Williams Architects added: “Ellis Williams specialise in community led regeneration developments and we are delighted to secure this unique project building on the great work and vision that SAFE has established.

“The unique mix of social enterprise, creative arts hub and community led housing will transform Bootle’s stretch of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and create a truly vibrant new community.”

The development has received more than £700,000 worth of funding support from Power to Change, Homes England Community-led Housing pot and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authorities Special Investment Fund, with the full support of Sefton Council to take this £33m project through to full planning.

The area is a stretch of land next to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal near Merton Road.

The masterplan, known as #destinationbootle,

An artist’s impression of #destinationbootle

will also include a new business hub created for SAFE Regeneration and The Lock & Quay Community Pub will be refurbished.

The houses and extra care facility will be arranged around an 18,500 sq ft purpose-built ‘Hub Building’ for SAFE. Ground source heating and solar energy systems are designed to meet 99% of the site’s estimated energy requirements.

Sands arrested more than two weeks after wanted appeal A BOOTLE man who was wanted by police on recall to prison for more than two weeks has been arrested.

Michael Sands, 31, was the subject of a wanted appeal by police on January 30 after he breached the conditions of his licence following a release from prison.

On Monday, February 17, Merseyside Police confirmed Sands had been arrested and was back in custody.

The 31-year-old was released from prison on April 3, 2019 after serving part of a sentence for manslaughter.

He was jailed following a sickening street attack in Netherton on June 5, 2010 which led to the death of 18-year-old Neil Murphy.

Sands, who was 22 at the time, had chased Murphy with the help of accomplice Thomas Speed, 23, after a chance meeting.

After they caught up with Mr Murphy, Sands repeatedly punched and kicked the teenager while he lay helpless on the ground.

Mr Murphy suffered extensive brain damage and his life-support machine was turned off days

AN armed forces veteran wants to reunite with one of his fellow serviceman after they last saw each other 63 years ago.

John George, 83, who lives in Cheltenham, believes his old friend Edward Jones, is currently living somewhere in Bootle.

They met when John served with the Royal Engineers in Hanover, Germany, between the years 1955 and 1957.

Sadly they were unable to keep in touch after their time in Germany came to an end, but John wants to reconnect with Edward, who he knows as Ted. John said: “During all this period in Germany, Ted and myself were the best of friends going through the stresses of training and the routine day to day in Hanover.

“I started painting and received a full sized drawing board to use. When I left Germany, as Ted and I shook hands and slapped each other’s shoulders saying our goodbyes he said ‘can I buy one of your paintings?’

“I knew the one he meant and said ‘I won’t sell it to you. I’m giving it to you as a friend’. We were both somewhat choked.”

John’s desire to get in touch with Edward was sparked recently when he thought he saw him in an Aldi store in the Cotswolds.

After seeing a customer in the supermarket, it was only afterwards that he realised it could have been Edward and that he was visiting the area.

John explained: “It was like a ghost of something in the back of my mind. It was the stance of the man. I searched my memory back to 1956 and Ted looked very similar in my mind.

It was a colossal coincidence.”

John believes Edward lives in

He said: “All the military know that friendships made in the services last forever. There are some exceptions but this is not one of them. You stand

Drug user followed by police officers A court has heard how a man was caught with drugs after being followed by police.

Connor Reardon, 20, of Knowsley Road, Bootle, pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis when he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on February 12.

Angela Blackmore said: “The defendant was seen by the officers.

“They say they followed him down various streets and ultimately he is stopped and detained. He indicated that he had some weed on him and three small bags of cannabis were recovered from his coat pocket.”

Mrs Blackmore said that Reardon had three previous convictions from 2012 to 2016, the last being for possession of cannabis when he was given a nine month conditional discharge.

Solicitor Mark Ellis said Reardon had been self medicating with the drug for anxiety and depression. Saying that he was no longer taking the drug after seeking professional help, he asked for another conditional discharge.

“His grandmother is in court today and she says he is a good lad at home,” Mr Ellis said.

The magistrates fined him £80 and ordered that he pay £117 in costs and victim surcharge.

Mike’s £13m mansion in Formby

Phone entrepreneur shows off £13m home on national TV programme

Mike’s old house in Bootle

Report by Tom Martin A BOOTLE dad who grew up in a terraced house has showed off his £13million mansion on TV after making a fortune through a mobile phone company.

Mike McComb was featured on Our Coast, a BBC documentary that saw presenters Adrian Chiles and Mehreen Baig visit Merseyside to explore the coastline.

Mike lives within walking distance to Formby beach and he allowed the television crew into his stunning

home and explained to the presenters how he made his fortune.

The dad-of-nine began selling phones as a sideline to his car business and in 1993 he founded a company called Mobile Phone Store and opened a single shop in Southport. He quickly found success and expanded the company with the opening of 129 other stores.

In 2000, Mike enjoyed a £40million windfall after his Mobile Phone Store chain was snapped up by BT Cellnet.

BT Cellnet had already acquired a 40% stake in 1997 and in 2000 took full control in a deal valuing the business at £67m.

After showing Adrian and Mehreen round his mansion, which was built two years ago and includes a gym, sauna and 17 bathrooms, he was asked if he was

“still the same person” since moving out of Bootle.

Mike said: “I’d like to think so. I still have the same mates, the same values, so as far as I’m concerned nothing is different.”

He explained how his home has won awards and features a grand, freestanding staircase and eight bedrooms.

It is 23,000 sq ft and also features a finger print scanner at the front door “to save the kids having keys” to the house.

Mike explained how when he lived in Bootle, he used to ride his bike to Formby beach and always dreamt of living in the town.

He said: “I’m so proud to be here now. I used to ride my bike up here as a kid and the place is full of memories for me.”

MP wants more funds for canals and rivers to meet carbon target Report by Henry James MP Bill Esterson has called for increased funding for canals and rivers and says properly sustaining the network could help the UK meet its carbon-neutral target.

Monty is rescued from the sinking sand by RNLI volunteers.

Mum whose son was rescued from sands joins safety campaign

A MUM whose teenage son had to be rescued from sinking sand at Crosby beach is now warning people to be careful when walking on that stretch of coast.

Monty Smith, 13, was on the sands with his family last October when he became stuck up to his knees in the soft mud near the sewage pipes.

Thankfully two RNLI lifeguards were on patrol at the time and came to the rescue, using a paddle board to help pull him to safety.

Monty and his family, who were visiting Crosby from Huddersfield, were grateful to the coastguards and were told that such incidents were common on that stretch of coast.

They have now joined the Merseyside Water Safety Forum in calling on people to take precautions when visiting the beach.

The forum, which is made up of representatives including the RNLI, HM Coastguard, Merseyside

Fire & Rescue Services and Sefton Council, is looking at new ways to get this message across.

Monty ’s mum, Zoe said: “It all happened so quickly. One minute Monty was walking along the pipe and the next he couldn’t move and was stuck in mud up to his knees.

“We were having a day out with friends, there were four adults and another teenager in our party.

We soon realised none of us could get near him.

“I tried to reach him, but just started sinking too.

“Luckily the two brilliant RNLI lifeguards saw the situation and came to help really quickly.

“They assured us all that this is a common occurrence and they would be able to get him out.

“It took about 15 minutes to pull him out and he was pretty much covered in mud, but at least he was free. The RNLI were just brilliant, and it will be really great to be reunited with the team who assisted Monty.”

Healthwatch Sefton needs new chairperson who will ‘champion patients interests’ HEALTHWATCH Sefton wants to recruit a new chairperson to help “champion local patient’s interests.”

The volunteer role will ensure local people’s voices are heard by health and social care service providers.

Maureen Kelly is the current chairperson and has served two terms in this role since Healthwatch Sefton was formed six years ago.

During that time she has overseen its development including the launch of two Community Champion Networks and Independent Complaints Advocacy service.

Lack of bins is no excuse!

Education is best way to solve litter problem

Port is not bringing prosperity to area

After having my letter published concerning irresponsible dog owners, I was, not surprised to see a letter in response, stating that, the issue is a lack of dog bins?

I suggest the letter writer take their dog mess home with you and maybe flush it down the toilet?

Bins are not the answer - personal responsibility and attitude very much are!

There is a mentality which seeks to blame everyone else.

Stop the excuses.

Bag it up and take it home.

It belongs to you.

You are not the victim!

Re: Article in the Champion about a pensioner being fined for litter dropping.

In my opinion the main culprits for dropping litter are school children, inconsiderate drivers and passengers, and fast food consumers, all difficult targets for wardens who presumably work 9-5.

I live in Crosby, I have a dog and regularly take it for walks.

It doesn’t matter which direction or which roads I walk down there is never ending litter to be seen.

I see, plastic bottles, cigarette packets (obviously thrown from cars), fast food waste, pizza boxes, nitrous oxide metal canisters, crisp packets, coffee cups, sweet wrappers and many other various items.

What is wrong with people?

I live close to a school and parked cars prevent any proper clearing of the road and gutter. Education is the key, if young people grow up not knowing any better then what chance have their children got when they become parents.

Yes I do pick up litter if I can and put it in a street bin, if I can find one.

But they seem to often disappear and the remaining ones are usually full, and the bin liners the council use don’t seem to fit the respective bins which makes it difficult for the cleaners to empty.

Litter is indicative of society and educating people about it reduce the problem would make for a better life for us all.

The letter praising the benefits of Peel Ports, and the apparent prosperity they brings to south Sefton was wide of the mark.

The idea that residents should have to put up with 24/7 port operations, bad air pollution, and lose its last remaining green space so a company can bolster its profits is simply unfair.

Peel owns vast tracts of the old dock estate on both sides of the Mersey, land banking with promises of development and jobs which have failed to materialise.

Can you imagine a country like Germany agreeing to let a company expand without first looking at the necessary infrastructure? Visit Hamburg. Or Dublin.

The seafarers working the vessels on a pittance, mainly because they are hired from poorer countries, and spend up to 18 months at sea.

Were the docks bringing prosperity to the area, perhaps the letter writer could still enjoy a pint in the Seaforth Arms Hotel.

Illness means that I have to eat ‘free from’ foods

picture of the week picture of the week picture of the week

Re: One Man and His Dog column about how his shopping is ruined by shelves of ‘Free From’ food.

I was amazed at how ignorant Jim Sharpe is.

Free From foods are not just about healthy eating, such as less salt, it is about gluten and wheat.

I am a sufferer of coeliac and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

It is a condition which, if not treated with Free From food, can be debilitating and indeed life threatening. I won’t go into detail about the effects.

I go into hospital once a year to see a dietician and every three years to see a doctor to make sure my gut is working ok.

I also have tests with tubes (not very nice).

Also Mr Sharpe, have you noticed that prices of the Free From foods are double or triple the prices for ordinary food. Bread, pastas, cracker breads, cereals, biscuits, cakes, etc are all overpriced.

So now you know Mr Sharpe, what Free From food really means.

Veggies and vegans have made a choice. Nothing wrong with that - I sometimes have veggie sausages (gluten free of course).

I did not have a choice to be coeliac.

It is just an illness, and not a very nice one.

of the week

Irene Robinson, Waterloo

Plaza volunteers deserve praise Nicole Power sent in this picture saying she wanted to share this “breathtaking scene of changing colours of the sky over Hightown.”

She said: “I was captured by the contrast of the view of the sky across the endless darkness of the fields.” She added: “It was blue, purple, white and in the far distance it seemed to be in flames of bright orange and yellow. I thought the land was on fire but when I walked nearer I stood watching the sky change colours as the sun disappeared into the dark black land as night creeped in.

Access road backing needed What a pity MP Bill Esterson did not back the residents’ call for the access road across Land East of Maghull when he had the chance at the planning meeting.

I put this proposal to the inspector as well as speaking at the meeting yet it was quashed.

When Bill spoke he did not mention of it.

Now we are faced with thousands of lorry movements through the narrow streets of Maghull for probably 10 years.

I welcome Bill’s support but could have done with it two years ago.

Wildlife will suffer if development goes ahead

I attended the planning meeting for proposed development for land east of Maghull.

A person speaking for the environmental consequences stated that pink footed geese using this land to eat and rest on their migration.

We were told that another field would be designated for them to use.

I want to know are the geese going to learn to read so they can follow the diversion signs!

We were told there were no bats in the area but I have lived nearby by for over 25 years and most summer evenings I watch them fly around my garden.

Toads, newts and water voles will all be moved further upstream on Whinney Brook.

I am very pleased to see the Plaza Cinema in the BAFTA awards congratulations.

I would like to see the volunteers young and senior citizens, given more praise because without them the cinema wouldn’t flourish.

Site traffic will cause disruption and noise

They will suffer being out of their chosen habitat with dire consequences.

Owls, woodpeckers fieldfares, sparrowhawks and other wild birds all live on this land in the trees and hedgerows. They will disappear once building begins.

Those reading out the petitions against the development. where only allowed 10 minutes but the developers were given 65 minutes.

The whole meeting was extremely worrying.

Please residents of Maghull stand up against this development.

I attended the meeting at Bootle Town Hall regarding the proposed new development on land east of Maghull.

Council officers stated that they did not believe there would be any disruption caused by site traffic, and did not believe there would be an environment impact caused by the works.

Are they in the real world?

The chair did not allow two of the petitioners to finish.

If they had started the meeting at the proposed time and had not adjourned for a break there would have been time.

No one has said how the foundations are to be constructed, If they to pile the ground, this operation can be very noisy.

Town Halls to shine in stunning light show to help mark culture year

Law firm issues charity appeal A LAW firm with an office in Crosby is looking to form a partnership with a charity which will benefit from fundraising across the next 12 months.

Morecrofts Solicitors is appealing for charities in the Liverpool City Region to come forward and nominate themselves for the role, which will see Morecrofts raise funds through a

variety of events throughout the year.

Charities who wish to apply for this year’s partnership must be based in the Liverpool City Region and have a direct impact on people who live in Merseyside. The partnership period will run from April 1.

Deadline to apply is 5pm on Friday, February 21. Contact the law firm to apply.

Report by Tom Martin WATERLOO and Bootle Town Halls will serve as unique backdrops to a stunning light show as the council celebrates its Borough of Culture status.

Along with The Atkinson, in Southport, the three venues will be the backdrop over three nights (March 13-15) as A Nightingale’s Song is projected on to them.

A trilogy of large-scale video projections will be created on consecutive nights at each of the three buildings, showing a chapter in an interwoven story that connects the coastal towns and people together by international projection artists, Illuminos.

The Borough of Culture (BoC) title is awarded by the Liverpool City Region’s Combined Authority to one of its six local authorities (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral) on a rotating, annual basis and Sefton has the honour for 2020.

A Nightingale’s Song is described as a tale of “magic and wonder, of myths and wondrous creatures, spectacular nature, of ships and sailing, of peoples past and present that captures the history of Sefton”.

The first part of the trilogy will be projected onto Waterloo Town Hall on Friday, March 13, followed by the second part on the side of Bootle Town Hall on Saturday,

March 14. The final chapter will be screened on The Atkinson building in Southport on Sunday, March 15. All shows are free and set to start at 8pm each evening.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s main sponsor for the Borough of Culture year, said: “I really cannot wait for A Nightingale’s Song to light up these three iconic buildings in the borough.

“We are blessed with some spectacular civic buildings and these will be used to full effect to project a story over three days about Sefton’s amazing history.

“We want people to try and attend all three shows at the three different locations

so they can witness the story in its entirety as part of our Borough of Culture year.

“We are expecting large crowds from across the City Region at these events so please get there early and consider using public transport.”

Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, added: “I’ve always said that our region is the UK’s culture capital, and I launched Borough of Culture to allow each of our six districts to showcase their own unique cultural highlights.

“I think that A Nightingale’s Song will be a fantastic start to what I’m sure will be a brilliant year for Sefton. I can’t wait to see it!”

‘Jimmy good boy’ first hit the road in a Singer Vogue I HAVE to nip back to Christmas in order to set the scene for this week’s ‘Dog’ column Christmas 1949 (I think) when I as really quite young - and small.

I remember sometime between my November birthday and Christmas I became aware that it was possible that Santa would honour my greatest wish, a pedal car, on certain conditions.

For years afterwards my mum would repeat a mantra she said I took up during the interregnum before the big day.

It went: ‘Jimmy good boy, Daddy Kinty autycar - Jimmy bad boy waggh’, Anyway, little Jimmy must have been sufficiently good because Santa did deliver my autycar - and it surpassed my wildest hopes.

It was green, modelled on an Austin of the period, complete with the flying ‘A’ on the front of the bonnet, it had an opening door, a realistic (if non-work-

ing) instrument panel.

It was mine at a time when very few children owned such a thing.

I suppose it started a golden period in my association with the motor car which lasted ‘till the end of my teens.

Neither of my parents could drive, but for my 17th birthday I was awarded a present of ten driving lessons - all per force taken in the dark after school, on the roads of Aintree and Bootle.

My steed as a BSM Austin A40, my instructor a large chap who insisted on the day of my test to drive me to the Test Centre. His final words of encouragement to me were: ‘If you don’t pass, I’ll knock your ******* head round’ - so I thought I’d better pass, and luckily I did.

Lucky in more ways than one as my mum had bought an almost new (it had been a demonstrator) Singer Vogue saloon which was sitting, waiting

Award for home care provider A HOME care provider in Sefton won the company’s North West Regional Award.

Caremark (Sefton), which supports adults to live independently at home and within their community, enjoyed a successful night at the company’s annual awards.

David Richards, who established the business in 2012, collected the award at a glittering ceremony at Heythrop Park Resort in Enstone.

The awards celebrate businesses that make a difference in their region and achieve something deserving of recognition in the preceding year.

David Glover, managing director of Caremark Limited, said: “David is hard working and tenacious and, as a result, he has created a caring and compliant company which makes every effort to provide an excellent social environment for clients, as well as deliver high quality care.

“As an active Consultative Group member, David is always looking to bring in new ideas to be the best domiciliary care provider in the market.”

Caremark (Sefton), based in Southport, provides home care services to older or otherwise vulnerable clients.

David Richards added: “We all work hard to deliver a first-rate care service to vulnerable clients living in the region, so I am delighted to accept this award.

“I’d like to give a special thanks to our registered manager Ruth Pye, and her outstanding team of care and support workers without them, none of this would have been possible.”

patiently, in our purpose-built garage.

I was allowed to use the Vogue as mine own - providing that I would chauffeur my parents to and from any place they wished to go even if this clashed with where I wanted to be.

I thought though I had a good bargain.

After about 15 months I had the cheek to suggest to mum that we aught to move up a bit in the car world - and the Vogue was duly swapped for a brand new Mk1

Humber Sceptre, to whose specification I had wisely added radial tyres.

I loved that car. Autumn gold metallic with a black interior and overdrive - a system that I still believe has advantages over adding an extra gear or two.

Perhaps my former colleague on the Champion, the now highly respected motoring journalist David Simister could tell me why the poor old Sceptre is almost totally overlooked in classic car circles, usually being casually dismissed as a kind of snobby Hillman.

The Sceptre was in fact originally going to be a sort of four-door Sunbeam Rapier - pretty obvious if you look at the radiator grill - and a car now readily accepted into classic car circles.

Anyway, the Sceptre was my final Daddy Kinty autocar.

After that I had to buy mine own - a fine collection of rather dubious MOT

passers, including an old Austin A50 (which boiled and was known as ‘Kettle’) a horrible old Hillman Minx (which put a con-rod through its block on the Thelwall Viaduct on the M6) and a three-litre Rover (which had probably more body filler than actual metal (though she was very comfortable).

A small legacy from my aunt enabled me to buy an Alfasud Ti which suffered from the twin Alfa Romeo bugbears of rampant tin worm and electrical troubles though she was a really good drive.

So I am not so anti-car as I appear.

The problem is that just about all the fun, and quite a lot of the skill, of driving had been lost, and partly because of the sheer volume of traffic.

I didn’t apply for an extension to my driving licence when I got old - I should have if only to be able on occasion to hire a car - Jimmy bad boy waghh!

Tiger Roll is given top weight for Grand National hat-trick bid

SOME of Liverpool’s leading sports stars attended a glittering ceremony at the city’s St George’s Hall last week for the reveal of the weights to be carried by the runners in this year’s Randox Health Grand National.

Former Liverpool, Real Madrid and England striker Michael Owen joined the event’s host, Ed Chamberlin, on stage and told the guests that Tiger Roll’s bid to win an unprecedented third consecutive Grand National would go down as one of sport’s greatest achievements.

Tiger Roll was confirmed as this year’s favourite to win the race and given a top weight of 11st 10lb to carry.

Red Rum, who is buried next to the winning post at Aintree, is the only horse to win three Grand Nationals

Husband and wife surgical team perform life-saving operation on new TV show

Ladies bowling club keen to recruit new members A BOWLING club in Maghull is appealing for new members.

King George V ladies’ bowling group is inviting new members to join them on the Town Hall greens.

They are held every Tuesday afternoon from 1.15pm to

4pm from April 14 to September 22.

A spokesperson for the bowling group said: “We have a natter and a cuppa about 3pm so come and meet us any Tuesday for more information.”

Report by Kenny Parker HUSBAND and wife surgeons at the major trauma centre at Aintree Hospital have been filmed performing a life-saving operation for a new TV series.

When Simon Scott and Sharon Blanckley first crossed paths as orthopaedic surgeonsin-training 20 years ago, neither of them thought they would one day be working together, married and starring in a primetime television series!

But last week the nation saw the pair on BBC Two documentary Hospital, performing emergency lifesaving surgery on a 91 year old man named Ron, who was the first person to be treated as part of Liverpool’s reconfigured trauma and orthopaedic services after fracturing his hip and dislodging a hip implant during a fall.

The first episode of the award winning documentary series Hospital focused on the movement of services at Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital following the merger of the organisations last October.

The changes mean that all orthopaedic trauma surgery will be carried out by a specialist team at Aintree University Hospital, which is home to the Cheshire and Merseyside Major Trauma Centre.

Sharon, who grew up in Stockport and studied medicine at Newcastle University, knew she wanted to be a surgeon from the age of five while Simon, who studied at the University of Liverpool, originally wanted to

Repair, Cleaning & Restoration carried out on any leather or vinyl...

be an accountant in his hometown of Bedford.

Simon was appointed consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Aintree in 2004, following a specialist fellowship in Australia, while Sharon embarked on her consultant career at Leighton Hospital.

Her keen interest in trauma patients developed during a specialist trauma fellowship at Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham.

In 2010 Sharon was appointed to lead on the development of the region’s Major Trauma Centre at Aintree Hospital.

The couple married in 2014 and now live in Cheshire with their four children and two dogs.

Simon said: “It’s pretty rare to find a couple who work in the same department, with the

same interests. Our rotas mean we don’t always cross paths during the working day, but about once a month there will be a complex surgery where we end up in the operating theatre together and we frequently discuss the management of our most complex patients.”

Sharon said: “Making sure our patients get the best experience possible has been central in the decisions we have made around merging our hospitals and moving some services. I hope that by seeing how someone like Ron has benefited from this helps the wider public understand our decision making.”

Hospital charts the day-to day-life of six NHS Trusts across Liverpool.

The show continues every Thursday at 9pm on BBC2.

Martin Mere news

Celebrate Our Birthday by Volunteering or Visiting at Half Price It’s Happy 45th Birthday to us and to celebrate, we have got together with the Champion to offer half price admission on Sunday March 1st. Just cut out the coupon above and present it when you arrive.

Martin Mere first opened its doors in 1975 and since then, our wetland centre has been visited roughly five million times by visitors enjoying all that wetland nature and our activities have to offer.

On top of welcoming visitors to the centre, our reserve plays a vital role in conserving wetland species. The whooper swans are probably one of the most well-known birds the visit Martin Mere, along with pink-footed geese. Both these species will soon be departing for their breeding grounds in Iceland, so make sure you experience the spectacle of the swan feeds before they finish at the end of March.

While birds are the most obvious wildlife on site, Martin Mere actually plays hosts to over 2,000 different species of birds, mammals, insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mini-beasts. In addition, the site is a haven for many traditional Lancashire plants, such as the endangered whorled caraway, golden dock, tubular water dropwort, early marsh orchids, the large-flowered hemp nettle and purple ramping fumitory.

Martin Mere is also very important for the economy of West Lancashire, with research by Lancaster University showing that around £5 million is brought into the local economy every year by visitors to Martin Mere. This was found not only to just support 65 jobs at the site, but a further 28 full time positions in the local area.

The running of the centre takes a lot of time and effort and we wouldn’t have such a thriving wetland centre if it wasn’t for the 150 volunteers regularly helping us.

As part of our birthday celebrations, we are holding a volunteering week from Monday 2nd – Sunday 8th March and would like to meet anybody who has a few hours spare and thinks they could help us in our work.

We have many different volunteer positions: visitor information volunteers, conservation work, office admin, gardening, mechanics, and carpentry. Not only will you enjoy helping one of the UK’s best nature reserves, but you’ll also enjoy the social element of the work, including special volunteering events throughout the year.

For more information about volunteering, drop in anytime between 2-4pm during Volunteer Week, 2nd – 8th March to speak to our staff about the many opportunities we have available.

ENTERTAINMENT

Corrie star headlining production of By The Waters of Liverpool THERE is not long now until Helen Forrester’s By The Waters of Liverpool comes to The Southport Theatre from Friday, March 27 till Saturday, March 28.

A familiar and much-loved face on stage and screen, actress Sian Reeves has caused a stir on the cobbles of Coronation Street, and Sian is also about to take on a headline role in the new stage production.

Sian will play the role of Helen’s Mother, Celia Forrester, a testing and challenging role portraying a strong woman affected by her life, and that of her family, being turned upside down.

By The Waters Of Liverpool Spring 2020 UK Tour opens on Tuesday, March 3 at the New Brighton Floral Pavilion in Wirral – just a few miles from where acclaimed author Helen Forrester was born.

The 11-week national tour will visit 17 venues across the country and follows a hugely successful run at the Liverpool Empire Theatre in October 2018, when the new production was premiered to rave reviews.

After opening in New Brighton, the tour will then head to: Stockport, Warrington, St Helens, Lancaster, Crewe, Southport, Rhyl, Swansea, Darlington, Malvern, Eastbourne, Isle Of Man, Hayes, Winchester, Liverpool, and Blackpool.

The touring cast also features Mark Moraghan, Parry Glasspool, Lucy Dixon, Eric Potts, Lynn Francis, Danny O’Brien, Roy Carruthers, and Chloe McDonald.

In celebration of Helen Forrester's 100th Birthday, an iconic Blue Plaque will be unveiled at a special event in February at

the late author’s family home in Hoylake – a place which featured heavily in Helen’s four volumes of best-selling autobiography, including Twopence To Cross The Mersey.

Sian will be joined by fellow cast member, Mark Moraghan who plays Helen’s father, and Helen Forrester’s son Robert Bhatia to unveil the Blue Plaque.

Ahead of going into rehearsals for By The Waters Of Liverpool, Sian talks about what a challenging and important role she has to play portraying Helen’s mother, Celia.

She explained: “I’m playing Helen’s Mother, Celia Forrester, who is a wonderfully complex person. From money, status and class before the great depression of the 1930s, to then losing everything and being dumped in a damp bug infested house with one cold water tap, and one toilet – with seven children to look after.”

West Bromwich born Sian Reeves is an original cast member of the 1985 stage production of Les Misérables.

She also later appeared in the 25th anniversary performance at London’s O2.

Sian has already shared a stage with fellow By The Waters Of Liverpool cast member Mark Moraghan in celebrity TV singing contest, Just The Two Of Us – when Sian and opera singer Russell Watson won the competition.

Sian’s television credits also include: Casualty, Cutting It, Emmerdale, Hope Springs, Holby City and, more recently Coronation Street. Theatre credits include West Side Story, Love Me Tender, The Merchant Of Venice, and The Little Match Girl.

CROSBY Gilbert and Sullivan Society is holding a Grand Charity Concert performance of The Pirates of Penzance.

People are invited to join them in celebrating Frederic’s 41st Birthday.

(Those familiar with the story will know that Frederic was born in a Leap Year and was apprenticed to a Pirate until his 21st birthday) The celebration will take the form of a “Come and Sing” and will take place

at St. Faith’s Church, Waterloo at 7.30 pm on Saturday, February 29 with an afternoon rehearsal at 2.30 pm.

Everyone is invited to participate, they may even come in costume if they wish!

Refreshments will be served during the interval. Tickets at £10, children (5-15) £5 can be purchased on the door or by telephoning 07748192953. All Proceeds in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Sian can currently be seen appearing in Coronation Street, where she is sending revelations and shock waves throughout Weatherfield.

By The Waters Of Liverpool is set in the 1930s after Helen’s father went bankrupt during the Depression.

This new production of By The Waters Of Liverpool also features sizeable chunks from Helen’s earlier book Liverpool Miss, together with flashbacks to Twopence To Cross The Mersey.

SDC presenting popular comedy Curtain Up for springtime play FOR this season’s springtime play, Southport Dramatic Club are presenting a popular comedy entitled Curtain Up by celebrated playwright, Peter Quilter, author of Glorious and The Nightingales.

This is a story of five ladies who inherit a dilapidated theatre and, with great hilarity and lots of one-liners, team up to restore it to its former glory, whereupon they decide to put on plays themselves.

What will happen when Lisa Minnelli, the star guest for the opening show, fails to turn up?

Kathy Felton-Aksoy, who played the lead in the SDC production of Glorious, Emma Wells Hall, Valerie Pedlar, Corrina Davies and Sabrina Haynes make up the cast for what promises to be an evening of great entertainment.

The playwright Ray Cooney said the following about the play: “An excellent piece of writing – very charming and very funny.”

Topzine magazine added: “A mad play, full of dynamism, momentum, funny dialogue and great surprises..Proves that purely female plays can achieve great success and lots of laughter. Well worth seeing, you can be assured of great entertainment.”

The playwright Peter Quilter also wrote End of the Rainbow, about Judy Garland’s final months.

MOTORS

Is this the tarmac-ripping answer to Tesla? car market. Vauxhall is launching its new Corsa in electric guise first, to get us all used to the idea, and Kia’s about to launch its new Sorrento in Greenpeace-friendly form. Even Maserati’s getting in on the act; where the old Granturismo had a Ferrariderived V8, apparently the new one will be a sort of tarmac-ripping Italian answer to Tesla.

All very promising – but not exactly helpful if you’re trying to nudge your little one into nodding off.

So what Nissan’s done is teamed up with some sleep coaches – now that’s a job that’ll leave you yawning – and come up with a clever system that’ll essentially play some automotive lullabies instead.

Sounds, it reckons, that’ll mimic the repetitive tones of a quiet petrol engine, but without upsetting the climate change lobby.

So, everybody wins.

Obviously, this is a very clever idea and one that’ll win it loads of new mates on Mumsnet – but I reckon it can go even further.

If Nissan makes equally rapid progress with nailing autonomous driving than I’d definitely be up for the idea of a grown-up version that plays BBC Radio 4’s Shipping Forecast on a loop; the car would be doing all the hard work while I’m drifting off, listening to how there are warnings of gales in Forties and Cromarty and how the general synopsis is good, occasionally poor.

I’d much prefer that to having to tackle the M58 at 3am.

Better still, I can see Skoda being able to nick the idea for an equally effective idea that ties in brilliantly with its latest model – an all-electric SUV that plays Enya’s Only Time on repeat, ad nauseum, every time you set off on a night drive.

Forget lullabies – I reckon Nissan’s about to put Caledonian Sleeper out of business.

Chaps, come up with a hot chocolate maker in the centre console and a compartment to store my pyjamas, and I reckon you’ve cracked it!

NORMALLY, it’s not a good thing if a vehicle is so routinely monotonous that it sends you to sleep – but Nissan’s latest LEAF is actively encouraging it.

Parents – this one’s for you, particularly if you’ve ever resorted to strapping a young child into a Government-approved safety seat, gently clicked the driver’s door shut behind you (no slamming, unless you want to make things worse), and gone on what the chaps at the Japanese carmaker call ‘dream driving’.

Nope, it’s not the sort of dream drive I’d have in mind – that involves a Ferrari F8 Tributo, a deserted Alpine switchback and a mountain-top restaurant at the other end – but those drives you do for no other reason than to lull a baby or toddler to sleep.

You see, we all thought that it was the motion of being in a car that proved so relaxing but, according to Nissan’s scientists, it’s the rhythmic patter of the internal combustion engine that does the trick.

All of which proves a bit tricky if you’re an up ‘n’ coming parent doing the upbringing in a world that’s fast developing an electric car addiction.

Skoda, which has just launched a new all-electric car named after Enya (no, really), reckons a quarter of the cars it sells will be all-electric in just four years’ time – quite a jump when you consider that at the moment these zero-emissions offerings account for a rather more pitiful three per cent of the UK new

Jevons leaves Bucks to join local rivals

BOOTLE manager Joe Doran kept his side on their toes, despite their game with Longridge Town being called off, writes Connor O’Neill..

Doran’s side were due to face Lee Ashcroft’s men on Saturday afternoon, but the game ultimately fell foul of Storm Dennis.

After their previous weekend’s defeat to Rylands, the Bucks’ second in their last three games, Doran opted to keep his side ticking over with a friendly against Salford City on Wednesday night.

Former Everton and Manchester United star Darren Gibson featured for the League Two side with Sean Coulton’s goal earning the Bucks a 1-1 draw.

And after their game was postponed on Saturday morning, the Bucks boss moved fast to secure his side a game against Ashton Town on a 4G pitch, with Doran’s side running out comfortable winners.

Meanwhile, forward Warren Jevons has departed the club to join Litherland Remyca.

Jevons only returned to the Bucks after Christmas and scored two goals in seven appearances.

Bootle were due to host Skelmersdale United in the Liverpool Senior Cup quarter finals last night (Tuesday) and are scheduled to travel to Irlam for a league fixture on Saturday before they host Northwich Victoria next Tuesday.

Mariners seal loan deal boost to strikeforce MARINE have strengthened their strikeforce with the signing of Morecambe striker Michael Howard on loan.

The 20-year-old forward joins the Mariners for the rest of the current campaign and will be eligible to play in Saturday’s match at Trafford.

Howard joined Preston North End at the age of 11 and progressed to the U18s, going on loan to League of Ireland club Cork City in February 2018.

A further loan to Hednesford Town during 2018-19 saw him net 12 goals in 19 appearances, before signing for Morecambe in May last year.

Meanwhile, Marine officials say they have been left saddened after their former groundsman, Jim Thompson Senior passed away.

Jim attended to the pitch for a number of years in the Tom Culshaw/Roley Howard era and was also an active social member.

His funeral will be at 11.15am on Monday. February 24 at St Peter and Paul's Church, Crosby. followed by Thornton Crematorium, returning to St Peter's club.

A spokesperson for Marine said: “All at Marine extend their deepest sympathies to son Jimmy and the family at this sad time.”

Marine’s weekend match at home to Tadcaster was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

The free-scoring Mariners were hoping to build on their three-match winning run, having netted 13 goals in their last three matches, but they were left frustrated by the weather.

They will return to action this Saturday with a trip to tenth-placed Trafford.

The two sides met in September at the Marine Travel Arena when Trafford won 2-1.

Maghull set for return to action STORM Dennis put paid to Maghull’s home game last Saturday as the Reserve team’s ’scheduled encounter against Ashville was postponed due to the pitch being declared unfit after a morning inspection.

The first team were without a fixture due to the league’s successful National Inter League Cup quarter final game against the Cheshire League but they return to action next Saturday with a trip to Ellesmere Port where they will play Vauxhall Motors Reserves whilst at Old Hall Field Maghull’s second string host promotion contenders and second in the table Heswall. Both kick off at 3pm.

Remyca left to focus on league

Michael Howard in action for Morecambe.

Litherland Remyca 1 AFC Liverpool 5 LITHERLAND Remyca had two men sent off and their goalkeeper injured as they crashed out of the Macron Cup quarter-final with a heavy home defeat against local rivals AFC Liverpool.

A nightmare opening five minutes for Remyca saw the away side take the lead through Kyle Schorah when he latched onto a clearance from a free kick and smacked the ball into the top right corner.

And then Warren Jevons was given a straight red card for a bad challenge.

A skewed goal kick led to AFC hitting the post on 20 minutes and Remyca goalkeeper appeared to be injured diving after the ball and had to be replaced by Ryan Grier who put in a respectable performance for a man not playing his regular position.

AFC dominated the game afterwards and James McGrane scored a second half brace, alongside goals from Bradley Owens and Rhys Hardacre who added a fifth in the 90th minute.

George Donnelly scored Remyca’s only goal with a great finish on 35 minutes, when he took a hold of the ball in the AFC box and brilliantly swivelled his body and thundered a shot past Lee Carr.

But Paul Foy was also given his marching orders late in the second half after picking up two yellow cards, meaning Remy finished the match with only nine men.

The win sees AFC progress into the semi-finals and leaves Remyca to focus on league survival, with another difficult game against Rylands in Warrington to look forward this Saturday.

Firwood Waterloo continue their push for the play-offs with impressive victory Firwood Waterloo 27 Northwich 14 FIRWOOD Waterloo kept their unbeaten home record intact with a 27-14 home win against fellow promotion hopefuls Northwich, writes Harry Jones.

Going into the game it was Waterloo in third place against Northwich in second with the hosts knowing a home win would be vital in such a tight race for the play-offs.

‘Loo had lost the previous week and the omens did not look good as they found themselves on the back foot early doors.

Northwich took advantage scoring the first try of the game as they kicked the ball forward into space allowing their player to pounce before adding the conversion.

The visitors then followed this up with a second try soon after to pile misery on the home fans and again added the conversion to make the score 14-0

to the away side. ‘Loo did respond and started to get the ball forward more but poor passing was letting them down.

Alex Ward was a standout player producing two great runs to trouble the Northwich defence.

The home side did get their reward through Jacob Allen as Northwich were caught short out wide allowing Allen to pick up the ball and run half the length of the pitch to score.

‘Loo then kept up their momentum and just before half time added another try this time from Kurt Riley, who continues to impress, after the ball broke from the scrum allowing him to pick up and power past the Northwich defence.

In the driving wind the conversion was missed and the half time score was Firwood Waterloo 10 Northwich 14.

The second half saw ‘Loo make a strong start again and early on they scored their third try of the game through Jake Hawkins with Darragh O’Brien

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

kicking the conversion, putting the home side ahead for the first time in the match.

Northwich responded well and the game became very even with neither side being able to carve out an opportunity.

Northwich kept giving away penalties and in the end ‘Loo punished them for this with O’Brien taking the three to make the score 20-14.

This set up a nervy final ten minutes at the Memorial Ground with Northwich throwing everything at their hosts.

However, the boys in myrtle managed the game very well and relieved the tension of the supporters with O’Brien scoring the fourth and final try of the game for the bonus point, catching Northwich out as they pushed players forward.

‘Loo coach Stuart Turner is confident his team can reach the play-offs He said: “When you are playing a team like this you expect to be under pressure.

“We conceded a couple of unusual tries but then we got into the game and had a couple of opportunities in the first half that were really tight.

“We scored a few then I really never had a doubt, although they are always hard to break down.

“Northwich always work hard, they took a lot of injuries but still gave us a tough game.

“It’s all in our hands really, if we keep winning we should make the play-offs, we’ve got some tough games but I’m confident.”

The result also means Loo are still unbeaten at home this season and captain Jack Weare said: “Whereas last year we would have lost games like that because of game management, and a bit of nerves in certain situations but we have learnt from last year and improved.”

The result moves Firwood Waterloo back up to second five points behind league leaders Burnage.

Firwood Waterloo’s next game is away at Altrincham on Saturday, February 29.
