POLICE WEEK OF ACTION!

Thirty-five people arrested as force cracks down on criminal activity in south Sefton Report by Tom Martin

Police on patrol in south Sefton

A TOTAL of 35 people were arrested over the course of just seven days after police carried out a number of search warrants across south Sefton following a spate of shootings in the area.

Merseyside Police called the crackdown on crime, a ‘Week of Action’, and targeted gun gangs, scrambler bikes and anti-social behaviour in an effort to reassure concerned residents.

There have been ten shootings in the last six months in Litherland, Seaforth, Netherton and Bootle, the most recent being when 21year-old Miguel Reynolds was shot dead in Netherton on Thursday, June 7.

Last week, a total of 34 warrants were carried out at properties in south Sefton suspected of being involved in criminality, and six areas of land were searched following information coming in from the community, including North Park, Bootle Golf Course and Rimrose Valley Park.

The disused railway line at Akenside Street in Bootle, and the railway embankment off King Street were also searched, with the assistance of British Transport Police.

The 35 people arrested were taken to police stations for a variety of offences including drugs, theft, and money laundering as well as

recalls to prison. The Community Policing Team has been conducting patrols assisted by representatives from Sefton Council, social landlords and Environmental Health.

Officers have also been speaking to residents about their concerns at a series of mobile police stations across the area, and the force’s Mounted Section have been out on patrol every day of the Week of Action.

Superintendent Matt Boyle said: “I want to reassure residents that we will not tolerate those people who continue to make life difficult for decent people in our communities, and we are working with partner agencies on activities such as those that are taking place all week to ensure our communities are safe places to live and our parks can be enjoyed by all.

“We will continue to take action whenever the community tells us there are problems.

“I would appeal to anyone with information about gun crime, anti-social behaviour, and illegal or nuisance scrambler bikes in their areas to get in touch with us and I can assure them that we will take action.

“We will be concentrating on areas where people have told us they are suffering the effects of this behaviour.

“While we have focussed our efforts to combat crime in Sefton this week, we conduct patrols in the area all year-round and encourage anyone with any information about crime in their community to contact us.”

CCG hailed at national awards ceremony for Repeat Prescription Ordering Scheme NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS Southport and Formby CCG were recognised in the HSJ Value Awards 2018 for a recent health campaign they ran.

They were highly commended in the communications category for their work with the Repeat Prescription Ordering Scheme This scheme was designed to significantly improve medicines safety for some of the borough’s most vulnerable res-

idents, by reducing the amount of wasted and unused drugs stored, without supervision, in their homes.

The scheme also aimed to reduce the high cost of these wasted medicines, achieving at least £500,000 savings in its first year of operation.

The CCGs worked one-to-one with vulnerable patients, created short videos and also toured Sefton to help explain the scheme by explaining the

risks caused by stockpiling drugs at home, and helping patients to have medications reviewed regularly to fit their needs.

Susanne Lynch, head of medicines management at the CCGs, said: “We’re really proud of the work we have done to be shortlisted.

“We identified early that close collaboration with our communications and engagement team would be central to the success of RPOS.”

Don’t go out with knives - parents of murder victim make passionate plea following harrowing court case

Sam’s killer jailed for life for ‘wicked’ crime By our Court Reporter

Carl Madigan

“By your actions you have snuffed out the life of a thoroughly decent young man who was much loved.”

SAM Cook’s parents want to use his memory to urge people not to take knives on nights out to “prevent another family from going through this horrendous ordeal”.

His family were speaking after the Crosby victim's killer, Carl Madigan, was jailed for life, with a minimum tariff of 28 years, on Friday, June 15 after a five day trial at Liverpool Crown Court.

A man from Anfield, Louis Langfield, 21, of Skipton Avenue, admitted affray and is to be sentenced at a later date.

Madigan had hidden a vegetable knife in his sock and taken it into Empire Bar, in the city centre, and used the weapon to stab Sam in the heart after a confrontation on the dance floor.

Sam's family issued a statement after the trial saying: “Sam was kind, caring, well-mannered and funny. He also had the most infectious smile which we will never see again, only in our hearts and in our memories, which we hold dear.

“In Sam’s memory we would like everyone to support the 'No More Knives’ campaign to help educate a new generation about the pain and anguish knife crime can cause, and hopefully prevent another family from going through this horrendous ordeal.”

The family’s calls were echoed by Judge Clement Goldstone, QC, who oversaw Madigan’s trial, and he has called for metal detecting arches in all of Liverpool’s nightclubs.

He said to Madigan in court: “This was a truly wicked crime committed by a very dangerous young man. You sought to portray yourself as a victim. You are not a victim - you are entirely the author of your own misfortune.”

“By your actions you have snuffed out the life of a

Sam Cook

thoroughly decent young man who was much loved. He had his whole life ahead of him and would, I am sure, have made a success of it. They have every right to feel angry and bitter at losing their boy in the way they have.”

He told 23-year-old Madigan, of Adam Close, Garston, that he will be 51 years old when he is eligible for applying for parole.

“It will be 2046. It’s a very long time off, but it won’t see an end to the grief of those who are permanently scarred by Sam Cook’s loss,” he said.

Madigan had pleaded guilty to unlawful killing but had denied murder but a Liverpool Crown Court jury found him guilty of that offence and the victim’s family applauded the jurors.

While giving evidence, Madigan turned to the victim’s family to apologise. The judge told him, “the jury saw through your crocodile tears when you wept when you turned to face Sam’s family.

“Your conduct after you had stabbed him makes it

Upside down sign turns heads!

A BOOTLE barber has turned convention on its head after he had his shop sign fitted upside down!

John Lee is still not sure what inspired his unusual decision, but says the topsyturvy title has proved a real hit with customers and passers-by.

Since the bemusing banner went up last month, people have been stopping outside the Litherland Road premises – with photos cropping up on social media.

John, 43, said: “The fitter was about to put up the new sign and I just said ‘I tell you what, can you put it upside down please?’

“He laughed at first and

said nobody had ever asked him that in 20 years – then he realised I was serious and went ahead and fitted it!

“Within minutes people were stopping their cars and taking photos – it’s proved a real talking point and it’s certainly got the shop noticed.”

But in spite of his peculiar shop sign, John says he has no plans to introduce crazy comb-overs or back-to-front bouffants.

He joked: “A couple of people have asked if I can do a short, back and upside down! But the hair cutting is staying traditional, it’s only the shop sign that is unusual!”

clear you did not care one jot whether Sam Cook lived or died.” Judge Goldstone also said, “All licensed premises open late in this city need to have arches to ensure that those who take metal into them will be detected.”

The victim’s girlfriend Charlotte Owen said in an impact statement, “I have truly lost the love of my life.”

Sam’s mum. Jillian Radcliffe, said in her statement: “Sam was my only child and he was taken away from me only two days after his 21st birthday.

Someone who I didn’t know stabbed my beautiful boy - from that moment on my life changed forever.”

She said that Sam, who had hoped to be an electrician, had “the biggest smile that would light up a room. I will never get a hug from my beautiful boy again and that makes my heart ache.”

During the trial Nicholas Johnson, QC, prosecuting, told how Madigan had taken the murder weapon out with him when he left the apartment where he was staying and hid it down his sock to avoid detection by club security staff.

Sam had gone out on Saturday October 21 last year to celebrate his birthday, which had been two days earlier. He had a family meal in Alma de Cuba in Seel Street and then he and his girlfriend met friends in The Empire Bar further down the road.

Mr Johnson said that CCTV footage showed Langfield throwing a right handed punch at Sam and seconds after Madigan arrived on the dance floor Sam was seen heading backwards ‘in a stooped position.’ A minute later Madigan and Langfield left the premises.

Later that night Madigan was twice seen re-enacting the stabbing for friends. On the second occasion he “actually went to the extent of mimicking Sam Cook by falling to the floor.”

The Empire club has since been closed down.

Constituency Forums will offer residents a ‘relaxed’ way to discuss issues with council Report by Tom Martin SEFTON residents now have a new way to engage with the council and its partners.

Constituency Forums are being introduced by Sefton Council as a more relaxed way for residents to talk to agencies, councillors and council departments about any issues they have.

The forums will be held twice a year in each of

the respective Parliamentary Constituencies within Sefton; Bootle, Central Sefton and Southport.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Cabinet Member Regulatory, Compliance and Corporate Services, said: “After consulting about the old and aged style of Area Committees, we decided to take a look at how we engage with our communities and came up with the idea of the Constituency Forums.

“The format of the Constituency Forum will be a market-place style at which there will be a

number of tables for ward Councillors, internal Sefton departments and partners to attend.

“This will give our valued residents the opportunity to arrive, get a drink and talk to agencies, councillors and departments about any issues they have, moving from table to table depending on the resident’s particular needs.

“We hope that this new format will remove the formality of the old Area Committee process and attract residents to a more relaxed public meeting at which they feel that the Council and its partners are more accessible and friendly.

“Dates for the forums have been announced and I really hope people take the time to attend them.”

The planned dates for the Constituency Forum across Sefton are: • Bootle – Thursday, June 21 at 6.30pm in Bootle Town Hall’s Ball Room • Central Sefton – Thursday, June 28 at 6.30pm in Crosby Lakeside • Southport – Thursday, July 5 at 6.30pm in The Atkinson’s Studio Room Each forum is expected to finish around 9pm.

Strand shopping centre £3.4m revamp plan questioned by critics Report by Tom Martin PLANS by Sefton Council to splash out more than £3.4million on the Strand Shopping Centre for “general works” and a shop roof repair have been questioned by critics.

The council, which bought the Bootle shopping centre in May last year for a reported £32.5m, believe the work will result in positive change for both shoppers and business owners.

However, it has raised eyebrows among some residents and councillors who argue the local authority should never have bought it in the first place – especially as £307,000 of the £3.4m will be spent on fixing the roof of the TJ Hughes store, which collapsed a little over a year after the takeover.

What the other £3.1m will be spent on is clouded in mystery, as the only description given by the council is “general works to improve the customer experience” with a Cabinet meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 21 when the proposal is expected to be given a green light.

When asked by the Champion what the £3.1m will be spent on, a spokesperson for the council said: “If agreed, this capital investment will support an approved Business Plan to enhance the sustain-

able competitive position of this important community asset.”

One local resident, Graham Winckles, has questioned why so much is being spent on the Strand. He told the Champion: “Many commercial property agents questioned the council’s decision to purchase a rundown shopping centre at a time when high-street retail was in a time of flux.

“Yet now we are seeing even more funds being allocated to this speculative venture with no clarity as to the council's intentions to change the centre's image or to attract new businesses.”

With regards to the TJ Hughes roof repair, a council report states: “Defects in the structure in one of the retail units appear to have been exacerbated by the very harsh winter in early 2018. This resulted in part of the concrete structure in TJ Hughes failing and a number of sections of concrete ceiling/roof structure falling to the floor when the shop was closed.

“Given the nature of this failure, it is essential that works are undertaken as a matter of urgency. The costs will be met from prudential borrowing and repayments will be met from income generated through operation of the asset.”

The council's decision to buy the Strand, which was announced in May last year,

was scrutinised by some councillors at the time, including Southport Cllr John Pugh.

Cllr Pugh said on this latest plan: “The council should concentrate on its day job and stop pretending it’s a player in the risky retail market. The fact that a year after the purchase of the Strand, its having to fix the roof shows how far it's out of its depth.

“We were told extensive checks were made prior to purchase. Looking at the roof might have been a good idea.

This is embarrassing for the council and wasting the money of hard-pressed, tax payers.”

When the council’s Strand takeover was announced in May last year, The Champion revealed that the council bought it through a company registered in Luxembourg, with claims that this allowed them to avoid paying £1.5m in stamp duty.

However, the council has always dismissed this claim of ‘tax avoidance’ and maintained the deal made financial sense.

The Strand was dealt a blow last week with news that the Poundworld store is facing an uncertain future after the firm went into administration. editorial@champnews.com

Report by Tom Martin A FIFTH person has been arrested as police continue to investigate the murder of Miguel Reynolds in Netherton.

The 21-year-old from Manchester was gunned down on Assissian Crescent on Thursday, June 7 but officers have not given a motive for the shooting.

So far, five people have been arrested, the latest being on Friday, June 15 when a 51-year-old woman from Netherton was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. She was taken to a police station on Merseyside for questioning.

The other four people arrested includes another 51-year-old woman from Netherton on suspicion of assisting an offender; a 19year-old man from Fazakerley on suspicion of murder; a 26-year-old woman from Maghull on suspicion of assisting an offender and a 20-year-old man from Manchester on suspicion of

murder and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Meanwhile, police have this week issued a fresh appeal for information and they want to find three people who they believe can help their investigation.

Detective Chief Inspector Ian Warlow said: “While we are keeping an open mind as to the motive for this murder, we are pursuing a number of positive lines of enquiry. The community in this area will have seen officers searching a number of sites and executing warrants, in relation to the murder investigation. We do however need information from the community and are continuing to appeal for their assistance.

“We are particularly keen to trace three people, who we believe may have information that could assist our investigation. Two people were in the area of Henry Hickman Close and Peterborough Drive, when the first non-injury shooting happened on Marie Curie Avenue. We believe they may have seen some or all of the

people involved and would be keen to trace them. We are also keen to speak with a third person, who was in the area of Magdalen Square towards Peterborough Drive near to the health centre.

Again, they may have seen some or all of those involved in this incident. I would urge them to come forward and give any information they may have, no matter how small, as it could be vital in

progressing our investigation.

“This remains a shocking crime that has taken place in a residential community on a light evening and I know that local residents would agree that the person(s) responsible need to be brought to justice. I would continue to urge anyone with any information to come forward so we can take action.”

the Bordeaux region.

“Following the festival, we received a letter from the Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, thanking us for volunteering, which will look really impressive on my CV when I come to apply for jobs in the industry.”

Stephen Otty, Curriculum coordinator at the L20 Hotel School said: “To have the chance to work alongside professional wine sommeliers is a truly unique experience. When Culture Liverpool and Bordeaux Wines UK asked for volunteers to help out at the Wine School, we jumped at the chance, knowing that the festival coming to the UK and Liverpool was an extraordinary opportunity for our students.”

Huge police presence after two shootings in two hours TWO shootings in north Liverpool a little over two hours apart led to a huge police presence in the area.

The first happened at around 6.30pm on Monday, June 18 on Maryport Close, in Everton, and armed police were sent to the area but couldn't find any damage and no-one was reported injured.

Later on that same evening, at around 8.45pm, a second shooting occurred on Stanley Road, in Kirkdale, when a 20-year-old man was shot in the leg.

He was rushed to hospital for treatment to his injuries, and his condition was described as non-life threatening.

Damage consistent with a firearms discharge was also caused to William Hill bookmakers on the street.

An investigation is currently underway to

establish the circumstances of what happened and if the two shootings are linked.

Detective Inspector Paul Speight said: “The investigation is in its very early stages and we will be carrying out CCTV and house-to-house enquiries in the area to establish what has happened. You may have witnessed the incident, or a vehicle making off at speed from the location. Any information, no matter how small will be investigated. “I want to reassure our communities that the use of firearms will not be tolerated on the streets of Merseyside and we are committed to finding the people who are responsible and bring them to justice.�

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Merseyside Police social media desk @MerPolCC, or by calling 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Appeal to find missing man POLICE are appealing for help in finding a missing man from Bootle.

Ryan Clarke, 29, who was born John Woodcock, was last seen at 12.20am on Beatrice Street in Bootle on Wednesday, June 6.

He is described as white, 6ft tall, of slim build, and speaks with a Manchester accent.

When he was last seen Ryan was wearing a black tracksuit top and bottoms, white, black and orange Nike Air Max trainers and a black baseball cap.

He is known to frequent

the areas of Manchester, Huddersfield and Blackpool.

Police officers are making extensive efforts to find Ryan and return him home safely and would urge Ryan, anyone who knows his whereabouts, or who has seen a man resembling him to call police on the 101.

Alternatively information can be left with the independent charity Missing People by calling 116 000 or by emailing 116000@missingpeople.org.uk.

Man jailed for offering bribe to alleged victim A MAN who tried to bribe an alleged victim of domestic violence not to give evidence in court against her former partner has been jailed for eight months.

Anthony McMahon offered ÂŁ500 to Rebecca Hooper not to testify against her former partner and even offered to add ÂŁ250 to clear a debt her expartner allegedly owed her.

Miss Hooper refused the bribe and turned up at Jamie Wainwright’s trial to give evidence but ironically the trial could not go ahead for administrative reasons and when it was re-listed she did not appear and he was consequently formally acquitted of common assault and fraud involving a credit card.

A judge accepted that McMahon’s offer was not the reason Ms Hooper, who is now back with Mr Wainwright, eventually failed to attend court and it had not been made in a threatening way.

But Recorder Matthew Jewell, QC told 51-yearold McMahon, of St Dunstan’s Close, Netherton, that it was a serious offence and a deterrent sentence had to be imposed. “The complainant was caused additional anxiety by his conduct on top of that she was already suffering.�

Jamie Baxter, prosecuting, said that McMahon, who changed his plea to guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice on the day his trial was due to begin, rang Ms Hooper while Mr Wainwright was in custody in October last year to ask about his whereabouts.

On October 13 he rang again and during a 13 minute conversation he offered her the cash not to testify against Mr Wainwright. She declined and attended court five days later for the trial but it did

not go ahead for administrative reasons.

Liverpool Crown Court heard on Thursday, June 14 that McMahon has 20 previous convictions for 28 offences including one for attempting to pervert the course of justice 20 years ago for which he was jailed for three months.

Lionel Greig, defending, said that McMahon is a maintenance engineer for a company in Aintree and lives with his partner. “He regrets allowing himself to become involved in a matter between two members of his extended family last October,� he said.

Man fined for possessing cannabis was using it for medicinal purposes A MAN from Litherland caught in possession of cannabis was using it to self medicate for Crohn’s disease a court has heard.

As David Hughes, 38, of Newlyn Avenue, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on June 13, it was heard that police executed a search warrant at his home on April 5

under powers granted by the Misuse of Drugs Act. Prosecutor Andrew Page said that officers recovered four small items of green vegetable matter, identified as cannabis.

He subsequently attended Marsh Lane Police Station for a voluntary interview.

“He confirmed he was using the cannabis for his Crohn’s

disease,” Mr Page said.

Representing himself, Mr Hughes said he only wanted to apologise for wasting the court’s time.

He confirmed to the legal adviser that he was taking the cannabis as an aid to Crohn’s disease.

The magistrates fined him £80 with £115 in costs.

Bill reveals memories of escorting Queen at her 1953 Coronation Report by Tom Martin

THE 65th anniversary of the Queen's coronation was marked earlier this month – and a Bootle pensioner has revealed how he was part of the actual ceremony Bill Allanson, now 87, was at Westminster Abbey on that momentous day in British history when Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne on June 2, 1953.

Bill, who was a Trooper in the Royal Horse Guards, told the Champion how he was in charge of helping to escort the Queen during the day.

He was part of the Queen's Life Guards, which is normally provided by men of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment which consists of a Squadron of The Life Guards, who wear red tunics and white plumed helmets, and a Squadron of The Blues and Royals with blue tunics and red plumed helmets.

Bill said: “I remember it well because I was in quite close proxim- Bill Allanson with a picture of himself at the 1953 Coronation. nothing better to do in 1951 so I went to a recruiting ity to the Queen.

“I just think it's nice that Bootle was represented in office in London Street in Liverpool and enlisted as the coronation of the Queen, even in just a small a Regular.

“For two years I was training and then on state way when a young 22-year-old lad helped escort the duties by the time 1953 came around.

He said: “It all started when I was young and I had spoke to her!”

Man disturbed and caught Former Reds captain and during an attempted burglary England footballer urges residents to give blood

A COURT has heard how a Netherton man was disturbed while attempting to burgle a house in Birkdale.

Glen Preston, 48, of Stonyfield, Netherton, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on June 13 where he pleaded guilty to attempted burglary, with the intention to steal, of a property on Sandon Road.

Mat Harvey, prosecuting, said that the resident had made a brief return to his property at 10.35am of July 7 of last year to collect a wheelbarrow from his rear garden when he saw Preston lying on the ground and interfering with the bottom of his patio doors.

“He said to the defendant ‘What are you doing?’ and the defendant replied that he was just lying down,” Mr Harvey said, “He got up to leave but was detained at the scene.”

Stressing that it wasn't used to assist with the offence, Mr Harvey told the court that Preston had his Labrador dog with him. The resident told police that the patio door showed evidence of being tampered with.

Solicitor Rory McCormack said that the offence

was aggravated by Preston’s record for burglary but that there had been a break between burglary offences. “He does have convictions for burglary, there is no doubt about that,” he said, “But you have to go back to March 2014 for the last time he was convicted of a burglary offence at an East Dorset magistrates’ court. More significantly you have to go back to 2003 in order to see the previous burglary. There does seem to be something of a hiatus.”

Probation worker Pamela O’Brien said that Preston had been a drug addict for 25 years and was using class A drugs at the time of the offence. He was stealing to fund his substance misuse, she said, adding that he was presently receiving support for a drug treatment provider.

The magistrates sentenced Preston to a £120 fine and ordered that he pay £170 in costs and victim surcharge. He was also ordered to participate with a 12 month community order including 10 days of a rehabilitative activity program and six months of drug rehabilitation.

They said: “The purpose of this order is to support you as much as anything else. So it’s in your interests to go along with it.”

Driver in critical condition after crash A SICKENING collision in Bootle has left a man in a critical condition and another three people injured.

Emergency services were sent to Southport Road at around 11.50pm on Saturday, June 16 to reports that two cars had been involved in a crash.

A 19-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment to serious injuries, and police say he is now in

a critical but stable condition.

A 40-year-old male, an 18-year-old male and a 19year-old female were also taken to hospital for treatment to minor injuries.

Report by Tom Martin FORMER Liverpool and England footballer Paul Ince has teamed up with NHS Blood and Transplant to urge locals to register as blood donors.

There is a particular focus in recruiting more men into giving blood, with two thirds of all new donors being women.

At the launch of the appeal, Ince said: “Each donation can save or improve the lives of up to three seriously ill people.

“It can’t be overemphasised how important each new donor is, where over 6,000 blood donations are required daily to keep the nation pumping.”

Mike Stredder, director of Blood Donation at NHS Blood and Transplant says: “To meet all of our patient’s needs at all times, we need 700 new donors every day to follow the former England captain’s lead and bleed for their team. (see picture right) “Our campaign is about saving lives and each donation is a precious and generous gift.

“There is a particular need for O negative and B negative donors as these are vulnerable blood groups that often run low on stocks at various times of the year, so any men who know they have one of these blood groups please do come forward to donate.”

Rimrose campaigners when they held their first ever public protest last month.

Rimrose protests will be ‘peaceful’ say campaign group Report by Tom Martin RIMROSE Valley campaigners say any protests will be done “peacefully and respectfully” following a decision by Highways England to not advertise the start of ground investigation work.

Last week the Champion reported how the government-owned company revealed they would not issue a start date for the routine work in case workers are “disrupted by protesters.”

But Rimrose Valley Friends say they would only ever protest in a peaceful manner and co-operate in full with Merseyside Police.

Highways England are expected to begin their ground investigations as part of their plans to build a dual carriage through the heart of Rimrose Valley Country Park.

Si Smith, chair of Rimrose Valley Friends said: “Highways England previously committed to us privately, and then stated publicly in their March 2018 newsletter, that they ‘will also work closely

with local stakeholders to keep the community fully informed on the progress of the surveys and when they are likely to begin.’

“Their complete U-turn of refusing to share this information with us is mysterious and seems to us to be disingenuous.

“We suspect Highways England is in disarray over the looming Judicial Review and what they can and can’t do as a result of this.

“They have always known that the community will engage in peaceful protest and they know that in fact we have been fully and proactively engaged with Merseyside Police throughout, telling them exactly what our plans are to engage in peaceful and legal protest.

“We’re committed to being totally legal, safe, respectful and peaceful at every stage and Highways England have been made clear of this.

“Put another way, nothing has changed with our stated position, but for a reason that bemuses us Highways England have changed their position and I’m afraid they are quite simply not being honest with us all.”

For the eighth year in a row, St. Mary’s College will stage the musical spectacular at its Blundell Park playing field on Little Crosby Road at 7.30pm on Saturday 14th July.

Proms in the Park will feature 250 talented young musicians from St Mary’s College & Preparatory School, conducted by the school’s director of Music, Andrew Byers. There will also be a special guest performance by renowned International Soprano and former St Mary’s pupil Rachael Russell.

Compere for the event will be BBC Radio Merseyside presenter Roger Phillips.

The St. Mary’s pupils will play all the old favourites from the annual Last Night of the Proms concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

These include Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 (Land of Hope and Glory), Jerusalem, the Fantasia on British Sea Songs written by Proms founder Henry Wood and, of course, Rule Britannia.

The concert will finish with a performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, which will be accompanied by a

spectacular fireworks display.

St. Mary’s Principal, Mike Kennedy, commented: “The Last Night of the Proms concert has been a tradition at the school for many years now, but staging it in the open air in recent summers has brought a whole new dimension to the event.

“Following the excellent feedback we received in 2017, we’re hoping for an even bigger audience this year.”

“They will be able to enjoy a concert that will be both a rousing way to end the school year and a wonderful showcase for the wealth of musical talent here at St. Mary’s,” added Mr Kennedy.

Advanced ticket prices for the concert are £17.50 for adults, £10.00 for children (applies to students) and £50.00 for a family ticket (2 adults, 2 children).

Entrance is free for children under five.

Let’s have courage to welcome Residents should be asked a family in need of support how to improve Stanley Road Re: Proposals for a permanent site for a family of Gypsy travellers in Melling.

Imagine you are moving to a new place.

You would like to settle there because you need a good school for your children and because your parents are old and frail and have various health issues and need access to medical care.

But all you get is hatred, prejudice and rejection, people don’t want you near them.

They don’t even know you, but they judge and reject you because of your ethnicity and culture.

People of Melling, there is clearly a family group in need of support - let’s get to know them, let’s give them a chance, let’s make them feel welcome!

Let’s don’t let prejudice, racism and stereo-

The stretch of Stanley Road running between Orlando Street and Exeter Road in Bootle is a mix of functioning and empty business premises.

It is true to say that this stretch of Stanley Road has seen better days.

It is incorrect to say that nothing can be done to improve the situation.

Opportunities should be given to local residents to voice their suggestions regarding how best the road can regain a busy business street-scape.

I hope there are sufficient community minded people who might accept the challenge of trying to secure a better future for the road.

I trust that the local councillors and MP support and will act on behalf of the local residents and currently functioning business.

type cloud our humanity.

Melling won't become a better place if we huddle together in a false type of ‘community spirit’ based on excluding everyone who is in any way different.

But Melling will be a better place if we step out of our comfort zone and pick up the courage to open a dialogue with people from a different culture.

This is a unique chance for Melling to show our values, to be welcoming and openminded.

This is a chance to practice what we believe, to bridge gaps and to build new friendships.

Let’s take this chance.

PICTURE of the week

Sneaky methods being used to fine drivers who park on Central Square I have noticed once again the sneaky tactics being portrayed by the body responsible for administering parking fines at Central Square area of Maghull.

The car park at the rear of the Costa Coffee cafe is now being monitored by an entry/exit camera.

I have no idea how long this has been in situ but it is obviously very recent.

As you drive into the car park there is a prominent sign immediately which looks new.

It has very few words and simply states that the maximum time allowed is two hours.

It makes no reference to the new camera monitoring or penalties.

The actual camera is particularly small and is tucked away in a corner position near the old toilets.

It is not prominent in any way to people parking up and leaving the car park to shop.

It has a small sign beneath it detailing the parking conditions and stating the fine for impeachment at £100.

Is this also not a significant increase on the previous fine level of £60.

I would suggest that the whole set up of contrasting signs and camera position is a deliberate and well thought out ploy to catch the unwary and extract the maximum amount of fines possible.

Passing the book: Edge Hill University enlisted help of local schoolchildren to form a ‘human book chain’ passing books from the old library to a new one which will be located in the new Catalyst building. Picture by Martyn Snape.

Bus time change is bad for pensioners

Dogs should be allowed to run free on the beach

Once again bus services in Maghull have been disrupted.

One recent Saturday morning I intended to catch my usual No 32 bus which is due at 9.30 am at Dover Road.

However I waited and waited, but it failed to appear.

So I had to walk to Liverpool Road South and catch the 300 to Liverpool Road North where I was informed that the local bus times had been changed, from 9.30am to 9.15am.

That means that any pensioner living on Moorhey Road having a doctors appointment at 9.45am will have to pay £2.20 to make that appointment.

This re-arranging of the bus times is not to the advantage of the majority of the passengers who use this service.

I was sad to read the letter from the lady asking for dogs to be kept on a lead on the beach.

The beach is there for everybody to enjoy - not just people and children, but animals too - including of horses.

There are plenty of places to jog where animals aren’t allowed.

One incident should not reflect badly on the rest of dog walkers.

Dogs should not have to remain on leads.

They enjoy a run just like people do.

Jim Gillbanks, Maghull

Maghull resident, By email

I will choose what charity to donate to!

We do not need ‘safer spaces to exercise and relax’ - we have that space on the beach.

Little open places remain to walk your dog in Sefton.

If a dog was kept on lead all the time and not allowed to run they would be stir crazy.

I’m sure you wouldn’t like it if you were on a lead, restricted and not allowed to run and explore.

I agree with the letter regarding charity bags.

I have a note taped to my letter box requesting ‘no unrequested mail including charity bags’ and yet I still get at least one a week.

I even started leaving them to pile up by my front door to show those delivering them that I already had a pile, and yet they still delivered more of the same ones.

Take the hint - I don’t want or need them!

If I want to donate I’ll give them to a charity of my choice.

Report by Tom Martin SEFTON Central MP Bill Esterson has called on the Government to get tough on plastic producers.

The MP is backing a new law that would pass the cost of plastic recycling onto manufacturers and would ban non-recyclable plastic after 2025.

Mr Esterson, who was among dozens of MPs to support the new Plastics Bill presented by Geraint Davies MP in Parliament, said: “Over the past year we've seen shocking images from the Blue Planet series, plus reports from the Caribbean and Bali, of the amount of plastic waste in our oceans.

“That plastic comes from us. It’s a crucial time to get serious about cutting out plastic in our communities and reducing its production and use.”

The Plastics Bill would ensure that plastic producers, instead of council tax payers, paid for the cost of recycling plastic.

Mr Esterson continued: “We need to set an example by reducing our own plastic consumption in schools, at work and in the council and I’ll be encouraging schools here to sign up to the ‘Plastic Free Schools’ initiative, as well as speaking up in

MP Bill Esterson has backed the plastic campaign

the Houses of Parliament on this issue.

“Currently 90% of the cost of plastic recycling is paid by council taxpayers. I’m supporting the Plastics Bill so the producer pays instead. This will encourage producers to innovate and reduce plastic pollution.”

Men urged to check for signs of diabetes MEN in south Sefton are being urged by health experts to check for signs of diabetes.

NHS South Sefton CCG are using Men’s Health Week to raise awareness of symptoms of the condition, which causes a person’s blood sugar level to become too high.

The CCG say that 6,500 people, both men and women across Sefton, are ‘at risk’ of developing type 2 diabetes, with a further

estimated 26,000 yet to be identified.

Men are being encouraged not to ignore the seven symptoms of feeling very thirsty, urinating more frequently, feeling tired, weight and muscle loss, itching around the genitals, cuts that heal slowly and blurred vision.

Dr Nigel Taylor, GP and diabetes lead at NHS South Sefton CCG, said: “It’s really important that

diabetes is diagnosed as early as possible because it will get progressively worse if left untreated.

“If you are diagnosed with diabetes, whether a man or a woman, there is lots of support for you, including our Diabetes Education Programme.’

Free education programmes are on offer to help local people with diabetes to manage their condition.

Trooping of the Colour makes me so proud to be British I watched the highlights of this year's Trooping the Colour for the Queen’s official birthday and was overcome by the performance of what is recognised to be the best military display of its type in the world.

And yes, it does make me proud to be British.

Could you imaging the Americans or the French (or any other nation for that matter) being able to put on such a meticulous and truly splendid display?

And these are not special ‘show off’ troops kept and trained solely for special events.

These are men who fight for Queen and Country.

This year it was the turn of the Coldstream Guards to troop their colours in front of her Majesty - but there were no representatives of the Welsh Guards on hand - because they are presently rather preoccupied in Afghanistan, a place not on most folk's holiday list.

And although I must confess that when I first saw the troops lined up on HorseGuard’s Parade I was perhaps a tad disapppointed.

Not at their smartness and performance but at the low numbers of soldiery on display.

I remember watching this event back in the 1950s, and I'm pretty certain that there were several more ranks of men involved then.

Mind you, those days we didn't have gaps between scrapping one aircraft carrier and commissioning its replacement.

Nor have to put it into service before we had any actual aircraft to fly from it.

How long I wonder will it be before people ask “where is the frigate?” when talking about the Royal Navy.

But none of this bitching detracts from the unique Trooping of the Colour - and coming as it did this year only three weeks after the equally impressive spectacle of the Royal Wedding it reinforced my belief that Great Britain - England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - have a heritage well worth preserving.

I reckon that events such as these also show that we, as a nation, are quite capable of lifting ourselves above the norm when we put our minds to it.

And the simple fact that millions of folk around the world tune in their TVs to watch them, surely means that others suspect that too.

Which is whyI am not ashamed to confess, both when watching the Royal Wedding and the Trooping of the Colour that I do feel a swelling of unfashionable patriotism.

You know, that old fashioned thing which helped us to free the world from Nazi tyranny - and possibly to win the 1966 World Cup as well!

Children get creative to stop speeding motorists CHILDREN from Litherland came up with creative ways to remind passing motorists to slow down.

Youngsters from Litherland Children's Centre designed their own posters which were put up in the car park to serve as a reminder to drivers.

Messages on the posters included ‘Always Drive With Caution’ and ‘Stop For Anything at a Zebra Crossing.’

Staff from the centre have hailed the project as a success and believe children have

learned more about road safety through the creative posters.

Litherland Children’s Centre is located off Boundary Road, next to Litherland Moss Primary School and Litherland Sports Park.

Pub raises £1,000 for Macmillan cancer charity Report by Tom Martin STAFF and locals at a Thornton pub have completed a month-long series of special activities which have raised £1,000 for a leading cancer charity.

The money for Macmillan Cancer Support was raised at the Nag’s Head, on Green Lane, thanks to the efforts of licensees Dave and Nikki and their staff and customers.

The fundraising activities ranged from raffles to homemade cake sales, with one of the highlights being a sponsored bowling match on the green at the rear of the pub.

This saw members of the Sefton and Thornton Bowling Club, who are based at the Nag’s Head, taking on a team of pub staff which included Rob Keithley, area manager of pub operator Greene King

which runs the Hungry Horse brand. The match was declared an honourable draw, but the real winners will be the patients who benefit from the support provided by Macmillan’s caring staff.

Sefton and Thornton Bowling Club Chair, Gerry Heaslip, said: “Everyone at the club was delighted to get involved in this match in aid of what is an exceptionally good cause.

“We would like to congratulate everyone involved with the Nag’s Head on the time and effort they put into this charity project, and for raising such a significant sum for Macmillan.”

Meanwhile, looking ahead, Crosby and Thornton residents are being invited to a fun day at the bowling club later this month.

This will take place at 1pm on Sunday, June 24 when, in addition to enjoying the activities on offer, guests will have the chance to have a go at bowling, and to see if they would like to take up this popular sport.

Children learn more about books YOUNGSTERS enjoyed an afternoon of storytelling, crafts, face painting and wildlife workshops in Stanley Park to help celebrate National Bookstart week.

Bookstart is the world’s first national bookgifting programme, established in 1992 and run by the reading charity BookTrust to promote and encourage families to share books, stories and rhymes as early as possible.

An event held in Stanley Park proved to be a big hit with north Liverpool children, who enjoyed a sunny afternoon finding out more about the project.

LOCAL businesses and suppliers in Sefton have been urged to find out more about working on Liverpool's new Mersey Ferry.

Steve Rotheram, Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor, has announced an event to help local suppliers get involved in the project.

The networking event will bring together local businesses and major maritime partners following Merseytravel's plans to procure a new ferry at the end of last year.

Metro mayor Rotheram said: “I made it clear from the beginning that we need to maximise the opportunities for our excellent local supply chain when it comes to commissioning our new Mersey Ferry.

“That’s why I’ve asked Merseytravel to hold a supplier engagement event where we can introduce local businesses to some of the maritime industry’s major shipyards both locally and from across the rest of the UK and Europe.

“We want to make sure local businesses are involved in conversations around the new ferry right from the start.

“Ensuring that our projects have social as well as economic value, is an integral part to the work of the Combined Authority.”

During the networking event, suppliers will receive more details on the plans, as

Metro mayor Steve Rotheram with Liam Robinson, Transport portfolio holder for the Liverpool City Region

well as get a chance to give their feedback on the proposals for the new ferry including procurement timescales, processes and architects initial designs.

The Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor hopes it will give smaller, local suppliers a chance to meet with companies from the maritime industry who may be interested in submitting official proposals when the tending process starts later in the year.

He continued: “It’s an open invitation to all suppliers, one which demonstrates how committed the City Region is to continuing the legacy of the iconic Mersey

The procurement process for the new vessel is being managed by Merseytravel who will be seeking passenger’s views on the design of the new ferry before it comes into full service from 2021.

ENTERTAINMENT

Casting announced for new play By The Waters Of Liverpool THE first wave of casting for the new stage play sequel of Helen Forrester’s much-loved Twopence To Cross The Mersey has been announced.

By The Waters Of Liverpool will be given it’s UK premiere this Autumn in Liverpool, where the famous books are set.

The play follows the smash-hit success of Helen Forrester’s Twopence To Cross The Mersey and is being brought to audiences by the team behind both the musical and stage play versions of the award-winning true story.

The Forrester family has been cast, and it’s a warm welcome for three much-loved actors who return to their roles.

Maria Lovelady who received rave reviews for her portrayal in the lead role of Helen Forrester will resume the part.

This will be the third time Maria has played Helen. She made her debut in the premiere of the new stage play of Twopence To Cross The Mersey, which ran for three weeks at the city ’s Epstein Theatre in 2015 and was followed by two North West tours.

Helen Forrester’s son Robert Bhatia said: “I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Twopence To Cross The Mersey as a stage play.

The staging was innovative and appropriate to the book. And the cast, led by Maria Lovelady was

Mark Moraghan

superb! She was utterly convincing playing my mother!”

Emma Dears returns to play Helen’s Mother. Emma performed alongside Maria in the new stage plays of Twopence since 2015.

Mark Moraghan has recently appeared in the world premiere of new stage comedy Lennon’s Banjo, he will play Helen’s Father.

By The Waters Of Liverpool is being staged at the Liverpool Empire from Tuesday, October 2 to Saturday, October 13.

Rob Fennah has written both the stage play versions of Twopence To Cross The Mersey and

By The Waters Of Liverpool.

More than 170,000 people have seen Twopence since it was premiered and now the longawaited sequel visits the theatre

where it all began for the original musical at the Liverpool Empire.

By the age of 17, Helen had fought and won two bitter battles with her parents – the first to educate herself, the second for the right to go out to work.

Her parents are as financially irresponsible as ever, wasting money while their children still lack adequate food and clothing.

But for Helen, things are looking up as she begins to make new friends and develop some social life outside the home.

By The Waters Of Liverpool takes us to the next chapter in Helen’s life. It’s now 1939, Britain is on the brink of war, Helen is now aged 20 and has never been kissed by a man. That is until she meets a tall, strong seaman. And falls in love.

Rob Fennah, co-producer and writer, said: “I am thrilled that Maria, Emma and Mark are able to resume their roles of Helen, Mother and Father in our new stage play of By The Waters Of Liverpool.

“Their strong portrayals of the Forrester family really struck a chord, and I know audiences will be delighted to see them in the play.”

By The Waters Of Liverpool by Helen Forrester has sold more than a million books.

All aboard for a summer evening cruise on Mersey Champion Review: Mersey Ferries Summer Evening Cruises

A TRIP to Liverpool would not be complete without a ferry across the Mersey.

So what better way to enjoy a sail on the river than by evening cruise - complete with onboard entertainment and a licensed bar!

But rather than just go across the Mersey, this particular journey took us along the river, past the Iron Men at Crosby and almost as far as Formby Point before returning and heading back to port where the magnificent sight of the Three Graces awaits the traveller.

You could just imagine how passengers on those great ships of yesteryear must have felt as they approached the ’pool. The skyline has changed much over the years with the modern meeting the past, but the spectacle of nearing these great landmarks never fails to impress.

This particular summer cruise on an early, balmy June evening was to last two hours – and it sailed by.

It was one of a programme of evening cruises taking place on Friday and Saturday nights and

designed to bring the River Mersey alive... with the sound of music and merriment!

Top artists are performing throughout the programme and no sooner had we boarded the Royal Iris ferry when the musical tones of a very talented Liverpool musician, Marc Kenny, struck up filling the evening air with hits old and new with several Mersey favourites thrown in, not forgetting, of course, Ferry Across the Mersey – well, he would have been thrown overboard if he’d missed that one out!

The two-hour evening cruises depart from Seacombe at 7.30pm and at 7.40pm from Pier Head, Liverpool and offer breathtaking views of Liverpool's UNESCO World Heritage waterfront.

With tickets priced at only £14.95 per person, passengers can experience a truly unique night out, a fully licensed paid bar and time to enjoy with their friends and family singing and dancing along on the decks of the iconic vessels.

The Summer Evening Cruises run until September.

To book places call the ticket office on 0151 330 1003.

Show gave ‘amusing and insightful look at life behind curtain’ Review by Ron Ellis A Bunch of Amateurs by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman Mawdesley Amateur Dramatic Club Mawdesley Village Hall FINLAY Robertson gave a Herculean performance as Jefferson Steel, a fading Hollywood legend who thinks he has been invited to star in a stage production of King Lear in Stratford-on-Avon but, when he flies in from America, finds himself at Stratford St. John in Suffolk with an amateur theatre company fighting to save its dilapidated theatre from closure.

Furious that he can’t get out of the engagement, and even more livid when no hired limousine appears and the expected hotel suite turns out to be a bed and breakfast, he rants at everyone in sight until, at times, it was almost in danger of becoming a one man show. Happily, other members of the cast came into the picture.

Debbie Wells played the archetypal director, Dorothy Nettle, as if she had done it all her life, realising that to treat him like a spoilt child was the

best way to handle him.

Samantha Quinn was intriguingly provocative as the star-struck Mary and Pete Rogers had a nice line in smugness as the pompous Nigel, who fancies himself in the role of Lear and lets everyone know it.

Jonathan Lyons appeared as the sycophantic Denis while Olivia Lloyd played Lauren who, moonlighting as a physiotherapist, gives Steel an erotic massage which brings problems from the sponsors when reported to the Press but cheers from the audience as her hand starts to negotiate a path up his colourful American shorts.

Molly Rogers offered a lovely cameo as Steel’s teenage daughter, Jessica, whose rejection by her starstruck father created the play’s most poignant moments. The cast was completed by Erin LeeSmith, Alice Kay and George Gottig as journalists.

There were plenty of laughs too from watching the competing egos onstage, revealing the jealousy, bitchiness and narcissism rife in the company. But all came good in the end and, ably directed by Hilda McAughey, the performance gave an amusing and insightful look at life behind the curtain.

Star rating 6 out of 10. Tantrums of a one-time superstar.

Choir to perform popular work THE Southport Bach Choir Summer Concert this Saturday (June 23) at 7.30pm at Holy Trinity Church on Hoghton Street will feature the ever-popular Carmina Burana by Carl Orff along with a new work by Jonathan Dove written to be a companion piece to the Orff.

Both pieces are scored by two piano and percussion accompaniment.

They will be joined by the Boys of Holy Trinity Church Choir as well as soloists from the Royal Northern College of Music.

The Blackpool Tower Ballroom

Full day needed to enjoy all attractions at Blackpool Tower Review by Henry James THE Blackpool Tower, a landmark of the North West coast, has been a popular tourist destination for well over a hundred years.

Families can spend many hours there and enjoy its many attractions including: The Blackpool Tower Eye (a lift to the top of the Tower) the Eye, The Circus and The Ballroom.

The highlights of our visit at the beginning of June were seeing the ballroom, which is used as a venue in the TV programme Strictly Come Dancing, and the dungeon.

The dungeon transports people back through time. We were taken through a series of rooms, including a mock court scene with a judge and volunteers were asked to stand in the dock and had sentences passed against them.

In another room we were taken to a village, which was facing attack from vikings. Walls shake and we had to play our part to defend the inhabitants against the gruesome invaders.

The attraction, which lasts about an hour, ends with a ride.

When we went to the Ballroom, a number of couples were dancing while the famous Wurlitzer organ was being played. Afternoon tea is also available.

The Ballroom is an impressive venue, which is made up of mahogany, oak and walnut and is built around an expansive stage.

New this year is Dino Mini Golf, which isa nine hole putting course with a dinosaur theme with windows looking out at the Blackpool coast.

Those with a head for heights can take the lift to the top of the Tower. The viewing platform is 380 feet above the town and includes a glass walkway for the very daring. It also offers 360 degree views across the North West.

For younger visitors to the tower there is Jungle Jim’s Children’s Indoor Play area where there are ball pools and a number of different slides.

It would be advised to set aside a full day to enjoy all the attractions at Blackpool Tower, or to make a few visits.

I’ve spent days living and breathing Morris Minors!

MORRIS Minors. I feel like I’ve spent the past few days living and breathing them – but that’s no bad thing.

I’ve been helping to put together a 12-page newspaper supplement to mark the Moggy’s 70th anniversary, and apart from my eyes going square from all the proofreading in front of computer screens, a couple of things have really jumped out.

Chiefly, it’s one of the few truly old-school classic cars (by which I mean ones with chokes, chrome bumpers and an appetite for Castrol 20w50) that you can still pick up for buttons, and it’ll be welcomed into virtually any car show across the land. The other thing is that because it was the first British car to sell over a million, and with roughly 14,000 of them still on Britain’s roads today, virtually everyone with even the vaguest interest in old cars has a Morris Minor story. Including me.

Even though I’ve never owned a Moggy, I very nearly bought one at the age of 16 – well, technically we very nearly bought one, as I would have been part of a car-loving consortium of petrolheads too young and too skint to know any better.

The Morris in question was a slightly crusty two-door 1000, being advertised by a chap in Ainsdale for ‘offers’.

Four of us got distracted enough from our GCSE revision

to seriously think about sticking in an offer for it, and things ended up going far enough that two of us ended up going to view the car, without a clue about remedying rotting sills or replacing its kingpins. It was almost certainly a long and expensive restoration in waiting, but in my head it’d be up and running in six months, perhaps with its 1098cc A-series lump replaced with an MG Midget’s engine and some electronic ignition to make it go as well as it’d eventually look.

In the end the logistics of sharing a car between four people – namely, whose name would go on the registration document – undid the deal long before we put a proper offer in and the car went to someone older and more sensible, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Moggy ever since. It is one of those cars that seems to go on and on, propelled by a legion of people who love fettling with them on Sunday mornings and taking them to shows. Anyone see that scene in Blade Runner 2049 where one person still has a Volkswagen Beetle in an impossibly futuristic Los Angeles? I imagine it’d be the same if they’d set it in Liverpool, only with a Morris 1000, of course. Probably with me still trying to buy it.

Fine all round effort by Hartley helps Ormskirk secure five wicket victory ON a day disrupted by heavy showers, Liverpool & District Cricket Competition Ormskirk’s recent good run continued as they climbed up to third place with a five wicket home win against Highfield, writes Glenn Wallworth.

The visitors were asked to bat and dismissed for 150 with Darshan Misal top scoring with 31, whilst

returning paceman Gavin Griffiths took 3-45 and Tom Hartley spun his way to 4-29 In reply, Hartley topped off a fine individual performance with 58, Alex Rankin made 29 and John Armstrong 25 as the hosts wrapped up victory on 151-5.

Premier Division leaders Northern suffered a 78 run defeat at Lytham.

The hosts were put in to bat and

thanks to Lancashire pair Steven Croft 78 and Toby Lester 42 were able to post 175 up on the board, with Tom Sephton once again leading the way with the ball with 4-53, whilst Justin Snow weighed in with 3-30.

In reply, Liam Grey 22 and Snow 21 were the only players to reach twenty as the league leaders were bowled out for just 97.

Bootle happy to settle for draw in rain affected match at Formby THE stand out fixture of Saturday’s Liverpool & District Competition Premier League programme between Formby and Firwood Bootle was seriously affected by the weather and ended up in a rather tame draw.

The hosts invited Bootle to bat first and had captured two early wickets for 36 before heavy and persistent rain drove the players from the field.

It was more than two hours later before the game finally restarted, and Bootle declined to 66-5 with Formby sensing they were in a winning position.

The captain, Craig Prince, dug in obstinately for an invaluable seventh wicket stand of 67 with Will Purser Hannah Gallimore pictured with her father Nick.

Hannah has made history at cricket club by following in her father’s footsteps!

HANNAH Gallimore has made history at Firwood Bootle CC. The 15-year-old has become the first female to play for the Bootle 2nd XI team which is captained by her father

Nick Gallimore.

Hannah has been playing cricket since she was seven and is the first female to play a competitive adult match for Bootle CC in its 185 year history.

(58) before eventually declaring the innings closed at 191-8 after 55 overs at ten minutes to seven o’clock.

Formby were clearly miffed at being left with only 19 overs in which to reply and flatly refused to mount a serious chase of the target set for them, finishing on 66-2.

Prince, however, was understandably in no mood to concede any ground to a side that had started the match one place and ten points above Bootle in the league table and was more than happy to settle for parity on the day. l Openers Vishal Tripathi and Will Hale gave Bootle a good start in the

following day’s Ray Digman Trophy quarter-final at Beech Walk with a partnership of 55, and further sound knocks from Sam Kershaw (55 not out), Neil Williams (38) and Purser (33) led to a total of 231-7 when the innings closed.

Despite an attacking 40 from Ben Smith, Leigh never looked likely to overhaul the requirement and were all out for 138 in the 35th over to lose by 93 runs.

Tonight (Wednesday) Bootle host Northern in the Vitality National Club T20 knockout at Wadham Road and on Saturday travel to Highfield for a Premier League fixture.

Another nail biter for Maghull and this time they won by three runs!

IN the Second Division, Maghull were involved in yet another close contest as they recorded a narrow three run home win against Alder.

Asked to bat first, Maghull were able to declare after just 30 overs on 197-2 thanks to an unbeaten 81* from captain Paul Walters, 62 from Jon Ring and an undefeated 38 from Anthony Molloy. In

reply, the top seven visiting batsmen all made decent starts to help push Alder up to 194-9.

With the game well and truly in the balance James Stanley then removed Callum Bandell-Childs for 18 to seal a thrilling victory for the hosts with Molloy taking 4-28 whilst the rest of the wickets were equally shared between

Stanley, Josh Mahoney and Mohammad Nawaz.

Burscough sit bottom of the First Division table after a seven wicket defeat at Prestatyn on Saturday but that was followed by a seven wicket home win over Birkenhead Park in their game in hand on Sunday. On Saturday they were dismissed for 76 with Peter Cassidy taking

remarkable figures of 18.3-928-9, the hosts then raced to 78-3 to wrap up victory with Ryan Westwell unbeaten on 51*. On Sunday Chris Andrews weighed in with a superb spell of 11-5-17-7 to dismiss the visitors for just 56, allowing captain Lee Berrie 36* to lead the side to 57-3 and wrap up a much needed win.

Marine extend academy deal to create Centre of Excellence

Bucks to start their league campaign on Saturday, August 4

MARINE have extended their partnership with Elite Sports Academy, who run the club’s Youth teams at U18 and U19 level, to create the Marine Centre of Excellence.

The aim of the project is to develop physical activity programmes, work experience options and employment opportunities.

Coaching staff will also engage with local primary schools and offer free coaching sessions and events to coincide with the World Cup. A club spokesperson said: “As part of the Centre of Excellence collaboration, Marine coaching staff have designed football sessions which they say are “progressive and exciting for young players.

BOOTLE will kick off their Hallmark Security League season on Saturday, August 4 - with a full fixture list likely to be released in the middle of July.

The Bucks’ FA Cup campaign will start on Saturday, August 11 - with the draw for the Extra Preliminary round being made on Friday, July 6.

In addition to the cup fixture, the Bucks will also take on Motors in a pre-season friendly at Rivacre Park on Tuesday, 10 July.

“This will be partly subsidised by our partners so that players get to work with coaches with excellent credentials at academy level.

“Their head coach has worked at professional academies including Manchester United, Burnley, Preston and Bury.”

Elite Director, Paul Brannan said: “This is an ideal opportunity for young players to be coached at the highest standard without paying a fortune in fees.

“Successful corporate partnerships have helped fund these programmes to deliver on our social responsibilities.”

Marine vice chairman Dave McMillan added:

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

“Elite have been great to work with since we entered in to the partnership, with impressive results for their students in the first year of the education based football programme.

“We're delighted to extend it further so that local kids can benefit from coaching in a safe and affordable environment and I'm sure the programme will be a great success.”

The programme is currently targeting under 6s to under 9s for boys and girls. The age ranges will be reviewed based on the level of interest received.

The start date is Monday, August 20 from 5pm to 6pm at Play Football, Drummond Road, Crosby at a cost of £16 per month.
