Houses to be built on former waterworks site AN historic site in Bootle which used to be a waterworks dating back to 1799, will be transformed with the arrival of 13 houses.

The patch of land, on Well Lane, used to take in water from a num-

ber of wells in the town before it closed down in 1887.

The building was called ‘Bruce and Hyslop – Engineers and Iron Founders’, but it has been left derelict for a number of years.

A developer has applied to Sefton Council for permission to use the site to build 13 houses, which they claim would “transform a derelict eyesore”.

FORCE FOR GOOD!

Housing firm becomes first in country to be presented with award from military A BOOTLE-BASED firm has become the first housing company in the country to be given a special award for its support to the armed forces community.

Sovini Group, on Dunningsbridge Road, has earned a Gold Award from the government’s Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS), which is their highest honour.

The ERS recognises employers who actively support reservists, service leavers, wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, the cadet organisations and service families, as well as inspire other organisations to follow their lead.

Sovini has long standing relationships with the armed forces community. They work in close partnership with Army Reserve unit 156 Regiment RLC and local organisations, Liverpool’s Veterans HQ and Veterans in Sefton, providing ex-service personnel with housing, training and employment opportunities.

Sovini CEO Roy Williams with members of the armed forces community

Report by Tom Martin has led to six local veteran families being rehomed and saved from homelessness since the start of 2018.

The company offers a volunteer placement programme, which supports veterans with their transition from the armed forces into employment within civilian life.

Dr Roy Williams, CEO of The Sovini Group said: “It’s an honour to be the first housing group to achieve the Gold Award. By adopting the Armed Forces Covenant we help to make sure the people who make huge sacrifices on our behalf receive the recognition and support they deserve in the workplace and the wider community.”

Private Tracy Newman, Customer Empowerment

Officer, The Sovini Group said: “The Sovini Group has been fantastic from the very beginning supporting me in my Army Reserves journey. The flexibility they have given me has been invaluable.

“When I talk to other Sovini staff during Armed Forces partnership events I see real interest from colleagues and going forward I hope to encourage more staff to get involved.”

Tobias Ellwood, The Minister for Defence People and Veterans said: “The breadth and diversity of this year’s winners shows how business support for the Armed Forces continues to flourish.

“Their commitment is a testament to the fantastic contribution our serving personnel, veterans and their families can make to any organisation.

“We all have a role to play in ensuring that the Armed Forces community is not disadvantaged by service, and each of these employers is setting an example as meaningful advocates for those protecting the nation.”

THE QUALITY YOU EXPECT AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE BUILT TO LAST!

A FOOTBALLER from Walton, who played for Marine FC, and was warmly welcomed into his partner’s home as one of the family, cruelly repaid the kindness by repeatedly raiding her dad’s bank accounts.

Unknown to doting granddad Anthony Doyle, his ‘son-in-law ’ Jamie Menagh had a gambling problem.

And although the off shore oil rig worker generously funded him and even paid for his holidays, while he was away Menagh secretly ripped off his bank funds.

And as well as stealing more than £14,000 from the accounts he even had the cheek to use Mr Doyle’s details to try to get a £23,500 loan for an Audi for himself.

When that came to light it was immediately cancelled and after further suspicions were later aroused Mr Doyle went back through his three bank accounts with a fine tooth comb.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that he was then devastated to realise that during the three years Menagh - who used to play for the Crosby-based Mariners but is now at Runcorn FC - had been in his home he had been siphoning

off his money.

The midfielder had moved into his home to be with his girlfriend, Abbie Doyle, and their young son in 2013.

A judge told 24-year-old Menagh that but for the delays in bringing the case to court largely through him being dealt with by police by postal requisition - he would have sent him straight to jail.

Instead he sentenced him to 12 months imprisonment suspended for 18 months and to carry out 200 hours unpaid work.

Judge Stephen Everett said that Menagh had been “dishonest throughout” and was still partly in denial and had lied to the probation officer who prepared a report on him.

He said that Mr Doyle had treated him like his son-in-law and it “must have been a terrible thing” when he discovered what he had been up to. “That must have caused him real heartache.”

He continued, “It was theft from people who in reality loved you and looked after you… you did a terrible thing to that family.”

The judge told him, “You are still thinking about yourself, that is the impression I get about you.

You are a very selfish individual who doesn’t care too much for other people and only looks after number one.”

Judge Everett also imposed a three month curfew between 7 7am which the court heard may interfere with his football matches.

“If that affects your professional career so be it, it is a punishment to you,” he said, adding that the sentence would also affect his hopes of joining the Army, and that too would be a punishment.

24-year-old Menagh, of Highfield Road, Walton, Liverpool, pleaded guilty to two fraud offences spanning 2013 to 2015.

The devastated victim had been reluctant to press charges and only went to the police in 2016.

The court heard that Menagh has not seen his son since the offences came to light two years ago and now has an 18-monthold child with a new partner.

Lord Mayor reopens pub after makeover A NEW-look has been given to an old pub in Netherton following a wide-scale revamp with The Lord Mayor Of Liverpool cutting the ribbon.

The Netherton, on Church Road, was closed for several weeks for a refurbishment to its bar and sports viewing area.

It reopened on Wednesday, August 8 when The Lord Mayor Of Liverpool, Councillor Christine Banks, cut the red ribbon.

Gary Butcher, co-general manager at The Netherton said: “We’ve had a fantastic time celebrating the reopening and our

The Lord Mayor Of Liverpool, Councillor Christine Banks cuts the ribbon to reopen the pub

Man in court for sending police on a ‘wild goose chase’ after telling officers someone with a gun was on resort street

Homes plan approved for former waterworks site page 1 This plan was approved last week by the local authority, paving the way for work to begin.

Between 1799 and 1887 the site was a waterworks receiving water from a number of wells in Bootle, including one on the site.

On the site the water passed through sand filter beds and was then pumped to supply the city of Liverpool. The water works ceased operation in 1887 when Liverpool

began to draw its supply from North Wales. In around 1913 large sheds were erected on the site, within which castings were made in deep sand beds covering much of the site. During this period the well was largely filled in by sand from the foundry.

The two frontage buildings were continued to be used as engineering workshops and associated offices. The remains of the foundry buildings are still in existence but in a totally derelict condition.

A MAN has appeared in court for sending police on a wild-goose chase for a armed person in Southport and then assaulting someone he claimed had kidnapped him.

Warren Balshaw, 26, called police during the early hours of the morning on July 19 to say he had seen a man with a gun on Lord Street, Southport.

As he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on August 8, prosecutor Daryl Pollard said that police searched Lord Street for the man but no one was present and Balshaw was traced through the mobile phone he had used to make the call.

Later the same night police were called to repots of a fight outside Southport’s Scarisbrick Hotel also on Lord Street.

CCTV subsequently seen by police showed Balshaw fighting with the complainant, she said.

“The complainant reports that he had seen the defendant previously,” Ms Pollard said, “He had been at a case at

Plans are put forward to turn derelict land into eight houses PLANS have been revealed to build eight houses on derelict land in Netherton.

Sovini Group has submitted a planning application to Sefton Council in the hope of getting permission to carry out the development on land in Albert Schweitzer Avenue.

They say the private land, which is currently vacant, is an ideal location to build new houses.

A planning application states: “The site is currently vacant but, although this is not public land, has been turfed to ensure the site does not become an eyesore.

“The site is well situated in relation to local amenities, shops and public transport routes.

There are various shops and leisure activities along Browns Lane, St Oswalds Lane and Glovers Lane within a short walk as well as St

An artist's impression of the new houses

Oswalds Primary School and a public park easily accessible on foot from the site.

“The proposed layout of the scheme has been developed to match the surrounding houses and retain an open aspect promoting natural surveillance by the residents in and around the scheme.

“The scheme provides new, much needed, high quality homes for families which will further benefit the area by supporting the diverse population, local schools, shops and facilities.

“The new proposal seeks to reinforce the existing residential street scene. The opportunities and constraints of the site have been balanced and utilised in order to respond with a solution which satisfies the original design intentions.

“We also believe that the proposed scheme will provide a high quality development, which will complement and reinforce the local distinctiveness and character of the area and help in creating a more inclusive and sustainable community.”

neighbours really came out to support us.

“Our guests are at the heart of what we do, so it was great to be able to mark the reopening with the local community.”

Co-general manager Maria Martin-Butcher, added: “It was a pleasure to welcome The Lord Mayor to cut the ribbon and officially reopen the Netherton.

“We’ve already had great feedback on the revamped bar and the sports viewing areas, with many guests planning their next visit around the upcoming matches.”

By our Court Reporter Liverpool Crown Court recently and they recognised each other from there. The defendant punched him multiple times to the head and kicked him.

“The attacked man said he had no visible injuries as he used his arms to protect himself from the defendant’s kicks.”

The court heard that Balshaw, from Anfield, had been in court for a public order offence just before this incident occurred. Ms Pollard told the magistrates that a kick is considered as a weapon and she asked for compensation for the victim.

Solicitor Rory McCormack said that Balshaw had a long history of depression and anxiety and was undergoing further assessment with health services, “He said he was feeling extremely

anxious,” Mr McCormack said, “He can offer no explanation as to why he phoned police. He said he knew it was wrong, he just did it.

“In relation to the assault the complainant was one of two people he said had kidnapped him and beat him up severely.

They were charged and acquitted of that offence. He was in Southport and was not feeling that well and saw this man and accepts that he assaulted him, presumably because of revenge.

“It was accepted form the complainant that he was taken to the crown court in relation to the allegation made by Mr Balshaw.” Mr McCormack said that Balshaw ’s offences were aggravated by occurring so soon after he had just been convicted of a public order offence, and also because of the phone call to police, which he said had presumably led to an armed response by police.

The magistrates adjourned until August 28 for reports.

Police arrest 16 in crackdown on supplying drugs

{

POLICE have arrested 16 people as part of a wide-scale crackdown on drugs supply in north Liverpool and south Sefton.

On Thursday, August 9 officers carried out warrants at residential homes across Merseyside and arrested seven people, which included three men and a woman from Kirkdale and Fazakerley, and a man from Bootle.

They were arrested for a number of offences including conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, namely heroin and possession with intent to supply.

Before this, on Thursday, August 2, police also arrested and charged nine people in connection to Class A drugs supply.

The nine people are: Michael Hannigan, 24, from Fernbank Drive, Bootle; Sean Hanningan, 22, from Fernbank Drive, Bootle; Tina Bennett, 53 years from Church Road West, Walton; Brian Lee, 21, from Kingswood Avenue, Aintree; Anthony Davies, 57, from Kingsland Crescent, Walton; Kieron Gilchrist, 23, from Betula Close,

Walton; Stephen Gunnion, 40, from Scarisbrick Crescent, Walton; John Muat, 48, from Cromwell Road, Walton; Peter Fairfield, 34, from Buchanan Road, Walton Detective Inspector Phil Mahon said: “These force strike days mean a significant supply chain of Class A/B drugs have been taken off the streets of Merseyside.

“Not only are these people intent on committing crime, they cause fear and distress in our communities.

“Hopefully now this supply chain, individuals and drugs have been removed from our streets, our communities will see a difference, as they can no longer be used to cause harm.

“We are relentless in our pursuit of those involved in gang and drug crime and will continue to take action to protect our law abiding residents.

“Merseyside is a cultural, vibrant and exciting place to live, work and visit and as a police force we work hard, alongside partners to keep it that way.

“We won’t tolerate the behaviour of these criminals and neither should you.

“If anyone has any information about those involved in drug supply, organised crime or who knows where weapons are being stored, please contact us so that we can make our streets safer.”

Peggy raises a glass to her 100th birthday!

Peggy Clarke celebrates with daughter Elaine and son-in-law Paul watched by friends and staff at Mill Spring Court

A FORMER pub landlady from Bootle who still enjoys the odd tipple of whiskey has celebrated her 100th birthday!

Peggy Clarke became a centenarian on Thursday, August 9 and held a special party with family and staff at Mill Spring Court retirement home.

When asked for her secret to a long life, Peggy’s daughter, Elaine, told the Champion it could be down to her mum enjoying a glass of whiskey every now and then, as well as staying active during her old age.

Elaine said: “She's always been really active with a great personality, so she has plenty of friends and a lot of people know her in the area. She also knows what she wants and can be a bit bossy!”

To add to the celebrations last week, Peggy received a birthday card from the Queen.

Peggy grew up in Bootle and worked as a bar maid and also a landlady at three closed-down pubs in Bootle, The Griffin, The Miranda and The Walnut.

She married Billy Clarke, who passed away at the age of 62.

Blues want to build mental health centre Report by Tom Martin EVERTON FC has revealed plans to build a mental health facility near Goodison Park.

The Blues, along with its charity Everton in the Community, has launched a campaign to raise enough money to create a permanent site, called The People’s Place, to support those with mental health problems.

Through a long-term fundraising drive, due to start early in the new 2018/19 season, Everton in the Community aims to develop, build and maintain a new purpose-built facility that will become a delivery site for programmes and enable signposting to other services.

The new mental health facility, subject to planning permission, will be positioned within the shadows of Goodison Park, opposite the £1.2m People’s Hub on Spellow Lane.

The campaign will see Everton working alongside national mental health charity Chasing the Stigma at a time when the number of people seeking support for mental health related issues is at an alltime high.

The People’s Place will provide an overarching service to anyone, regardless of age, gender, or location, to promote positive mental health and support relating to suicide awareness and prevention. The range of the mental health services available will offer clear pathways into Everton in the Community’s programmes and external support all tailored to the individual.

A community consultation will take place to ensure that the new building meets the extensive needs and requirements of the local community and brings a significant impact to people’s lives through a diverse range of activities and services.

Everton CEO Professor Denise Barrett-

An artist’s impression of the planned Mental Health facility announced by Everton CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale

Baxendale said: “Everton in the Community ’s award-winning mental health provision is regularly recognised on an international and national stage, yet we recognise the major need in our community – and beyond - to further develop, enhance and evolve our current provision.

“Mental illnesses, unlike physical injuries, are invisible to everyone but to those experiencing them. Their reality is no different and no less painful. Many people suffer in silence, unaware that helpful and supportive treatments are available. Our new facility will work to encourage people to talk more freely and will operate an open-door policy to anyone needing to talk.

“There is a real demand for this in our city and our community. Since we opened the People’s Hub we have had people walk through our door seeking mental health support and I’m proud to say we have supported those individuals. Residents in Liverpool, members of the L4 community and our fans see us a beacon of hope and support.

“Working alongside colleagues at the Club, Everton in the Community, external partners, patrons, our supporters and residents we plan on using our skills, expertise and profile to fulfil our aim of

building a facility that will help save the lives of people suffering with mental health issues.”

Everton first team manager Marco Silva added: “Since the first day I arrived at the club, everyone talked to me about the ‘Everton Family’. We are more than just a club, we are a family. We want to keep creating this fantastic connection between us and our fans and all of the community. We want to support them, and we want to give them something back. This People’s Place project is important to us as a club. me and my staff are here to support and do everything we can.”

Speaking about Chasing the Stigma’s involvement in the campaign Jake Mills, Evertonian and CEO of national mental health charity, said: “We are honoured and excited to be working with Everton Football Club to address mental health issues within our communities. It is testament to the Club that they want to build on the life-changing and pioneering mental health programmes they operate.

“The People’s Place will offer an environment that will make people feel comfortable when talking about mental health and – most importantly – that they know help is available and no one has to suffer in silence.”

People who have taken own life remembered

Peggy Clarke with her message from The Queen

A BENCH in Bootle located next to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal has been dedicated to those who have committed suicide.

The public seating, near Telary Close, was given a new-look by young graduates of the National Citizen Service (NCS) with the support of the Canal and River Trust.

The new plaque on the bench reads: “In memory of all who have taken their own life due to mental illness.”

NCS graduate, Sean Tremarco said: “It was a good experience working on the bench as it brought people together for the purpose of doing it in support of mental health awareness and it made me quite emotional as I know people who have been severely affected because of mental health conditions, it’s a great project to have worked on and placed within the community.”

Ambulance staff ‘fear more assaults due to police cuts’

ASSAULTS on ambulance staff in Sefton are going unreported due to cuts to police budgets, a paramedic who was attacked in Southport told a court.

The ambulance worker had been trying to put Marcin Wysockie, 30, in a wheelchair when he grabbed her leg so hard she was left with bruising.

Prosecutor Daryl Pollard said that Wysockie, of Birch Street, also attempted to bite her. He pleaded guilty to assault at Sefton Magistrates Court on August 8.

In a victim impact statement, the paramedic said she had worked for the NHS for more than 20 years, and loves her job.

Ambulance workers fear they are more likely to be attacked due to police cuts.

Cannabis user grew his own after having bad reaction to added spice A MAN from Litherland told a court that he started to grow his own cannabis after the cannabis he bought from the street contained spice which he said he had a bad reaction to.

Michael Essery, 34, of Bleasdale Way, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on August 8 where he pleaded guilty to production of cannabis, abstracting electricity without lawful authority, and possession of heroin.

Prosecutor Daryl Pollard, said that a warrant was carried out at his address on February 14 and police discovered a growing room containing five cannabis plants and associated equipment.

Only two of the plants were viable, however, she said, which would have produced a potential yield of approximately £1,200 worth of the drug.

A small quantity of diamorphine (heroin) was also found in the living room and the electricity meter had been “professionally bridged,” the prosecutor added The court heard that approximately £1,800 of

electricity had been abstracted.

Representing himself Essery said he was growing the cannabis because the drug he had been buying contained spice. “I had a bad reaction to that so since then I thought I would have a go myself,” he said.

Spice is a mix of herbs and manmade chemicals with mind-altering effects. It is often called ‘synthetic marijuana’ or ‘fake weed’ because some of the chemicals in it are similar to ones in marijuana; but its effects are sometimes very different from marijuana, and frequently much stronger.

The legal advisor reminded the magistrates that having a bad reaction to spice found in cannabis bought off the street was not a defence and that it was still a criminal offence to grow your own cannabis.

Following a probation report, Essery was sentenced to a six week 7pm-7am curfew, and ordered to pay £170 in costs.

Ex-soldier harassed his former girlfriend Report by Lynda Roughley A FORMER soldier from Crosby who could not cope with a relationship breakdown began harassing his former partner.

Harry Finch made repeated phone calls to Jackie McFarland and even made a veiled threat of violence.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that the couple had been in a relationship for two and a half years before the harassment offence began.

Ken Grant, prosecuting, said that they had their “ups and downs” and it had been a “toxic” relationship.

It ended in early April this year but Finch could not accept it was over and rang her at her Litherland home ten days later at 5.30 am on April 28. She told him to “leave her alone” and not to telephone her again.

He told her he was going to bring a washing machine round and she told him not to do so but he later did so and there was an unpleasant scene during which it had been alleged the assault and damage offences occurred.

On May 4 he rang her from a withheld number but she recognised his voice. He asked her to give him “two minutes” but she refused and again told him to leave

her alone.

Mr Grant said that a few minutes after that 10 am call a brick was thrown through her kitchen window but it was not known who threw it.

Finch rang her again that morning while her mum was in the house and he and said, “This will stop if you talk to me, if you give me five minutes. If not this will carry on and nobody’s going to recognise you.”

The police were called and Finch, of Devilliers Avenue, Crosby, was arrested.

When interviewed he made no comment.

It had been alleged that he had also disclosed intimate photographs of Mrs McFarland on social media which he denied and that charge of revenge porn was left to lie on the file.

The 46-year-old divorcee also denied assaulting her by beating and damaging a washing machine and those charges were also ordered to lie on the file.

In an impact statement the victim, a mum-of-two, told how she had loved him “so very much.. He has totally ruined my life. I no longer feel like myself and my confidence has been shattered. I think I may be suffering from depression as a result of what he has done.”

She told how she “feels scared all the time and keeps expecting a brick to come through the window” and has had to

change all her furniture around because she is worried about glass shattering onto her ten-year-old daughter, who has been devastated by what has happened.

Mrs McFarland added that she is worried she will now be unable to trust anyone enough to form a new relationship.

After hearing that Finch, who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder after his Army service, has served 14 weeks on remand in HMP Liverpool, the judge, Recorder David Turner, QC, sentenced him to four weeks imprisonment suspended for 12 months.

He also ordered him to carry out 30 hours rehabilitation activities and imposed an indefinite restraining order to keep away from his victim, her home and her place of work in Crosby.

“It is a great pity to see you before the court. You behaved in a very stupid way as you have come to realise,” he told Finch, adding, “Of course you have problems resulting from your service as a soldier.”

John Rowan, defending, said that Finch, who pleaded guilty to harassment, has no previous convictions.

He had his first taste of custody having been remanded to Walton jail. “He served in Northern Ireland and described it as akin to that in terms of conditions,” said Mr Rowan.

More than £250million to be invested in British coastline MORE than £250million is due to be invested in the British coastline during the next two years.

Through the Coastal Communities Fund, almost 300 coastal sites across the UK have been saved, created or improved for future generations. The Fund supports the development of UK coastal communities by giving funding towards projects intended to create sustainable economic growth.

Deborah Lamb, deputy chief executive of Historic England, said: “We welcome news of funding to help save at-risk historic buildings and places in our seaside towns and villages, so that they can be brought back into use for the benefit of local communities.

“Restoring local gems can attract investment and help to tackle the deprivation that is a problem in a number of our coastal areas.”

PROJECTS in Sefton and north Liverpool which aim to tackle knife crime and support vulnerable people have been awarded funding by the police.

Four grassroots initiatives have been given a combined £32,000 from Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy ’s Crime Prevention Fund which aims to “build safer, stronger communities.”

The aim is to prevent problems from occurring by reducing the opportunities for crime, and by deterring people from becoming involved in anti-social and illegal behaviour. l Kirkdale Neighbourhood Co. Ltd will receive £12,000 to pilot an early intervention programme designed to provide intensive support to young people at risk of getting involved with crime. l Bootle-based People First Merseyside has been given £10,000. l Sefton Older Persons’ Forum has been given £5,000 l Migrant Workers Sefton has been given £5,000.

The Police Commissioner said: “There was an overwhelming response to this invitation to bid for funding. The number and quality of the bids I received demonstrates the passion and dedication among community groups across Merseyside who wish to prevent crime and keep their areas safe.

“Unfortunately, I can only support a small number of these fantastic initiatives, but I believe the projects which have been awarded funding will be able to use these small grants to make a big difference.

“Many of these projects focus on supporting, advising and guiding young people away from mak-

ing poor life choices to make sure they have a brighter future. Not only does this potentially save a young person from a life of crime, it can have a huge benefit for their family, make the community a nicer place to live and reduce the demand on the police and other public services.

“It is also important to recognise that many of these young people are being coerced, groomed or exploited into carrying out those activities on behalf of others and they need our support to take them away from danger and ensure they can enjoy their childhoods.

“As always, I’m looking forward to watching the progress and achievements of these projects over the next 12 months.”

Cutting back fire station night shifts ‘will put lives at risk’ REDUCING night time cover at fire stations in Merseyside ‘will put the lives of the public at risk’ claims Walton MP Dan Carden.

Staffing levels at several stations, including Crosby, will be reduced during night shifts, with incidents being covered by nearby fire Crosby Fire Station stations.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue are introducing the measure to reduce costs following budget cuts.

Some stations, including St Anne Street in the city centre, could be affected by the change as early as September.

The MP said: “These are the latest in a long line of government cuts to fire services across Merseyside and will reduce the capacity of our first responders to protect the public.

“The latest move, to bring forward night time closures to September, looks like an attempt to undercut growing public outrage at proposals that will inevitably lead to increased attendance times and put the lives of the public and the firefighters who serve them at risk.

“I intend to join local residents and the Fire Brigades Union campaigning against current plans.

“The safety of our communities must come first.

We need a moratorium on the proposed cuts while other options are considered.”

Petrol station, restaurants and cafe could be built near motorway junction Report by Kenny Parker PLANS have been submitted for a new service station and retail/eatery complex near the motorway junction just outside Maghull.

A planning application has been put forward by Euro Garages (EG Group) for a facility comprising a petrol station, two drive through restaurants and a café.

The services which will be situated next to junction one of M58 will create more than 200 new jobs.

Proposed access will be off Maghull Lane and associated car parking and landscaping.

The site forms part of a wider allocated site known as ‘Land East of Maghull Development Site’ within the adopted Sefton Local Plan where a strategic, mixed use development will be supported.

The site extends to just under two hectares and is roughly triangular in shape.

The site currently comprises agricultural land and is bounded by School Lane/Maghull Lane to the north/east, M58 to the south and open land to the west.

Reasons suggested for this are that the development is not controversial and is in line with principles already established in the borough’s Local Plan for the area designated 'Land East of Maghull'.

The application from for EG Group, which currently operates hundreds of similar mixed use developments in the UK, says the services will create 182

part-time and 39 full time jobs.

A statement provided to the planners on behalf of the group says that there will also be jobs created in the site’s construction and also with the services’ supply chain businesses.

The statement adds: “In addition, all of our partners are committed to providing training and apprenticeships. The proposals also deliver valuable roadside infrastructure which will support economic growth and development in Maghull and the wider Sefton area.”

Park ‘is like a dog’s toilet’ after pet owners leave mess bags strewn across ground Report by Tom Martin A PARK in Litherland has been described as a “dog’s toilet” as overflowing bins results in owners leaving their pet’s mess strewn across the floor.

A Champion reader took a shocking picture last week showing the number of dog bags left on the floor after a bin in Longfield Park had became full.

The small park, which links Longfield Road and Violet Road, has a play area, but he says parents are put off bringing their children due to the dog mess.

He said: “I don't actually think you are allowed to take your dogs into the park, but people obviously don't listen and do it anyway.

“The least you expect is that they clean up after their dog and if the bin is full take it home with them.

“On one occasion when I walked past there must have been about 100 bags in the bin and then overflowing onto the floor.

“What's worse is that seagulls think there's food in them and start tearing them open and it goes everywhere. It’s disgusting.

“There’s a play area here but no children use it any more.”

The park is owned by One Vision Housing.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council reminded park-goers to take their rubbish home if the bins are full.

Huge cardboard castle wows visitors to park Report by Tom Martin THERE was a noticeable addition to Bootle’s North Park at the weekend when a 65ft cardboard castle was erected!

Hundreds of volunteers helped create the structure as part of a project called Lost Castles, with five others placed in different spots across Merseyside.

The concept is the brainchild of French artist Olivier Grossette and is the first creative project to take place across the entire Liverpool city region.

Workshops were held in the Strand Shopping Centre in the weeks building up to the event as hard-working volunteers put together the cardboard boxes to create the castle.

One of the many visitors to North Park was Bootle MP Peter Dowd, who was impressed with the project.

He said: “It was a lovely community event in North Park.

Thanks to all involved.”

The project has been made possible thanks to support from Arts Council England and is supported by the City Region Combined Authority, and the Global Streets

Children meet some of the characters

Children enjoy fairytale trip to Strand centre THE STRAND Shopping Centre was turned into a real-life fairytale after children’s characters visited Bootle.

The Golden Tale event held on Wednesday, August 8 saw popular characters from the likes of Beauty and the Beast and Rapunzel play games with youngsters.

Centre manager Rowland Parry said: “It was really busy and lovely to see so many new faces coming to enjoy our free events. We have had

nursery schools enjoying the performances and many requests on social media for us to repeat the event soon, which is lovely to hear and a testament to the team who have put this year’s summer activity together.”

The next event on the calendar for the Strand is The Hunt for the Golden Snitch Witches and Wizards, to be held today (Wednesday, August 15) and finishes with the Golden Eye Spy Camp on Wednesday, August 22.

LETTERS to the Editor

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA tel 01704 392 400 email editor@champnews.com

I have twice recently been The Village was better knocked over by cyclists before it was ‘improved’ I write to let you know of a couple of altercations I have had recently with cyclists.

Firstly, I was walking on Rimrose Valley with my husband and our dog.

A cyclist approached from behind with no warning, barging through and I was knocked to the ground.

The cyclist looked behind, saw what he had done and then rode off!

The second incident happened on the canal towpath, similar to the above, and I was very lucky I

didn’t fall in the canal.

As you can appreciate I am now very wary of cyclists.

The above would not be a issue if the bikes had bells on them.

I think it should be a legal requirement that all bikes should have a bell and cyclists should use them.

I was very lucky that I wasn’t seriously injured – the next person might not be so lucky.

What a disappointment our shopping centre in Moor Lane has turned out to be.

After all the build up and promises

by St Modwen for a better and brighter Crosby it remains a sorry sight.

There are two Costa Coffees, a card shop and a betting shop that moved from across the road and a Peacocks.

The other units remain empty but I have heard that one might become a wine bar.

The only place that looks nice is The Blues Bar.

The best shops were the ones we already had and were forced out due to increased rental costs.

I was talking to a visitor who described our village as a dump.

It was better before it was ‘improved.’

Now there is litter everywhere and people on bikes weaving their way between the pedestrians making walking quite a scary and dangerous procedure.

PICTURE of the week

Ribble buses waited for rail passengers I can well understand the frustration felt by Mr Harry Clark regarding the train and bus timetables.

Many years ago Ribble Buses used to operate the station circulars, and the routes were the M1, M2. and M3.

The bus drivers were told to make sure they waited for any passengers from the trains even though the train could be running late.

In fact Ribble had their own bus inspectors working at the station to make sure the buses were running.

It’s often said things aren’t as good as they were years ago , and I do believe that is true regarding public transport.

G Waters, Former Ribble Bus Driver

I feel sick about what’s been built near Switch Island I did not know whether to laugh or cry on reading the letter suggesting a 'shorter, better alternative to the Rimrose Valley road', which seemed to suggest some sort of high level space age monstrosity that would run from Seaforth to Switch Island.

There seems to be a general ignorance in this area of the importance of aesthetics and their immense impact on our physical and mental wellbeing.

This, however, took the biscuit!

Over the years, I have watched our beautiful, precious farmland disappear, to be replaced by housing estates and unnecessary roads.

I am breathing in the resulting pollution on a daily basis, whilst suffering an intolerable assault on my senses by the unmitigated mish-mash of metal that has replaced an open vista of green belt I feel physically sick at the sight that now greets my eyes around Switch Island.

Every day brings fresh fear at what may come next.

The cause of this fear is no mystery when suggestions of enormous concrete and metal structures are put forward.

Horrified as I am by this current suggestion, I must confess that I am not at all sure it wasn't made in jest.

I certainly hope it was!

NET GAMES: Burscough Village Primary School hosted a special day during their summer break for local children to go along, join in and celebrate National Day for Play. Picture of Martyn Snape.

Doctor asking £50 to sign a will is insane!

I am 72 years old, and asked my doctor to sign that I am of sane mind on my will form.

I was informed it could cost me £50 if I brought it to him, and if he had come to me £85!

I have visited my doctor twice in the time I have been with him, and he receives a payment for me being on his books.

Surely if I paid him £50 that would prove I was not of sane mind!

If I was disabled I would be penalised by £35 on top.

Is this care in the community?

We can be proud of our soldiers while being critical of UK foreign policy

So grateful for help after being take ill

It appears that both of your correspondents, Mr Holt and Mr Wilson have confused (perhaps deliberately) my defence of and pride in our soldiers as support for the foreign policy of our recent politicians.

One does not necessarily have to accompany the other.

I also dislike some recent recruiting adverts though I suspect for different reasons.

War still involves tanks and machine guns.

I was certainly taught the harsh realities of modern warfare when I attended a local high school.

My classmates and I wrote essays on the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, most reaching very critical conclusions.

Moreover, several of the soldiers I have taught and studied alongside at university have been

polite, dignified, brave and well aware of the horrors they could potentially face.

I find this inspiring.

Despite the poor foreign policy decisions made by our politicians (which soldiers themselves are often critical of), our armed forces are essential for defending this country and should be praised for doing so.

I do agree that soldiers returning from service should be given much more support, including mental health care, but shunning the Army away from our schools as bogeymen won’t help anyone.

My main point still stands: the Army is essential for keeping our democracy safe.

When I was taken ill at Central Square in Maghull by the bus stop outside the Health Centre on Monday, July 23.

I would just like to thank all the people that were there that helped me.

I would especially like to thank the lady with the child in the pushchair who saw me on the bus and spoke to the driver I would like to give them all my grateful thanks.

Comfort Studio Partner

Our motorised rise and recline armchairs and beds are eligible for 20% VAT relief

Report by Tom Martin THE Mayor of Sefton, Cllr Dave Robinson, will scale new heights after agreeing to take part in a 150ft charity abseil!

Cllr Robinson will be joining 16 others in the Sefton 4 Good team, including colleagues from WEA North West, Sefton Council, Sefton CVS and members of the community, in the challenge at Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral this Saturday (August 18).

The volunteers will face a 150ft, free-fall drop over the main entrance to the iconic building, all to raise money for good causes in Sefton.

Sefton 4 Good is a fundraising initiative from Sefton CVS which provides small grants to local voluntary, community and faith groups across the borough. “There are so many good causes making a real difference to people’s lives in Sefton,� said Cllr Robinson. “That’s why I want to take part in the abseil, because grants from Sefton 4 Good can really help those groups.�

This year Sefton 4 Good has awarded almost ÂŁ15,000 in grants to 25 groups, including the Plaza Cinema in Waterloo.

Mike Howlett, senior citizenship and volunteering officer for Sefton CVS, said: “Sefton 4 Good is all about encouraging borough residents to support local causes that make a real difference in their immediate community. “I am so grateful that the Mayor and his fellow volunteers have stepped up to the challenge to help us at this exciting event.�

Three more days of strikes called by Northern Rail staff Announcement comes after many Sunday services were cancelled due to crew shortages Report by Henry James

A NEW national defibrillator database is expected to save lives after it is launched next spring.

The database by the NHS, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and Microsoft has been welcomed by the North West Ambulance Service.

The partnership aims to map the life-saving devices so they can be made readily available for every out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK. Defibrillators are small machines which can ‘shock’ a person’s heart into restarting after a cardiac arrest.

If this can be done in the first few minutes, patients have a 60-70 per cent chance of making a full recovery.

They are easy to use, easy to carry and they won’t deliver a shock unless it is required.

There is no clinical training required to be able to use the machine.

The North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust (NWAS) already holds a list of defibrillators but estimates there are thousands that remain unknown and hidden in businesses, hotels, factories, shopping centres and smaller facilities such as social and sports clubs and schools.

The BHF states that public access defibrillators are used in less than 3 per cent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, significantly reducing the survival chances of tens of thousands of people every year.

There are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests every year in the UK, but less than 1 in 10 people survive. In countries where the public are better equipped to recognise and deal with cardiac arrests, survival rates are up to three times higher.

Andrew Redgrave from NWAS said: “The use of CPR and public defibrillators can mean the difference between life and death for a patient in cardiac arrest.

“Defibrillators allow everyday members of the public to become lifesavers by providing the all-

important shock before our ambulance crews arrive.

Even just two or three minutes earlier can make a huge difference.

“We know that many people raise funds in their local area to have defibrillators installed but they often forget to tell us they’ve done so.

“This means that we could get a call for a suspected cardiac arrest where this potentially life-saving piece of kit is available and we can’t tell the caller to go and get it. The more defibrillators we know about, the more lives will be saved. It’s that simple.”

The national defibrillator database will launch in spring 2019, but defibrillator guardians in Merseyside, Cheshire,Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria can register their lifesaving devices with North West Ambulance Service now at nwas.nhs.uk.

Pharmacy raises £800 for hospice

It seems it’s okay now to be insulting to some folk but not others SO poor old Boris Johnson has got himself into very hot water over his ‘letter box’ remarks about the headgear worn by some women of the Islamic faith.

How could the man have been so stupid?

I would not have dared, in public at least, to have drawn such a comparison - but then, I am probably not as courageous as Boris either.

And I feel definitely ashamed to have written that too.

Because frankly I think this whole business of never saying or writing anything which the leftwing intelligentsia now claim to be ‘unacceptable’ and without doubt something ‘phobic’ or other is not only highly dangerous but also boring - and wrong.

The eye-slit in a Niqab does look like a letter box - and while I appreciate that this comparison might displease the wearer (though I bet many couldn't give a fig) it is hardly really insulting - and frankly is the context in which it was said quite understandable.

These days we are increasingly aware of the need for vigilance and security - so surely the wearing of any garment which conceals not only the face, but quite possibly the sex of the person wearing it that it must surely be of some concern?

Now we have MPs of all parties, including shamefully his own, demanding that the whip be taken from him and he should be expelled from the Conservative Party.

Boris is refusing to apologise or back down, so while I confess I do have my concerns about the man, I must admit his stock has risen considerably with me.

It is particularly worrying that most of those who attack Boris and others who are ‘found guilty ’ of uttering unfortunate - even if true facts which don’t happen to fit into the ever expanding lexicon of the politically incorrect, are the very same who bang on about free speech as well.

Free speech as long as it doesn’t involve anybody expressing a deeply held conviction.

In many cases, is there not something fundamentally wrong with a society that says, more or less, that it is always wrong to insult some folk - but not others.

No doubt, had we operated like that back in say, 1938, Winston Churchill would have been censured for his remarks about Herr Hitler while his opponents would have seen nothing wrong with the views of Lord Halifax.

I am in no way advocating a society which lambastes everybody and anybody - but an occasional unkindness, or even deliberate insult, is sometimes necessary as a safety valve.

Some years ago I was visiting a large secondary school when some teenagers looking through a first-floor window at me passing beneath started shouting.

Cries of ‘baldy ’ didn't exactly make my day though oddly enough when I was admitted to the head teacher's office I did not make a formal complaint and demand an apology for my hurt feelings.

Actually, at the time, I only suspected I might be losing some of my locks. Only on my next visit to the barber’s shop, when the barber held a mirror so I could inspect his work from the rear, was the awful truth revealed.

Oddly I didn’t have to resort to a shrink to get over the insulting remarks.

And of course the present atmosphere of never upsetting anybody (except those deemed as beyond the politically correct pail) means that the vast majority of jokes which I have heard over many, many years are now most certainly ‘no-nos.’

Which probably explains why I find the current crop of stand-up comedians not funny at all.

Just boring and a trifle infantile.

PHARMACY staff in Crosby have raised £800 for Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

Alexanders Pharmacy decided to hold a raffle and cake sale to help celebrate the 70th anniversary of the NHS. They managed to raise £800 for the cause, which was presented to a representative of the hospital.

A spokesperson for Alexanders Pharmacy said: “We really just wanted to say a massive thank you to our customers who were so generous to the cause!”

Alexandra Burke will reprise her role in hit musical The Bodyguard

Dress rehearsal for the Southport Spotlights production of Copacabana, Southport Little Theatre, June 2018. Picture by Alan Martin

Auditions being held for Funny Girl MULTI-AWARD -WINNING Southport Spotlights Musical Theatre Society, are following on from their recent fabulous production Copacabana with the smash hit Broadway musical that made Barbra Streisand a star - Funny Girl.

This will be performed from February 6 to 9 at Southport’s Little Theatre.

The musical is set in early 20th century New York City and is based on the life of stage actress and vaudeville comedienne Fanny Brice.

In The Ziegfeld Follies, in Hollywood films and on the radio, she was one of the most celebrated entertainers of her time.

The show is packed with musical numbers including the huge Streisand hits Don’t Rain On My Parade and People.

Spotlights cast each of their performances afresh. They do not restrict auditions to existing members. They are always on the lookout for new talent. Experience

is not necessary. Every performer has to start somewhere. So if you can sing and/or dance, consider joining them. If you are interested, Spotlights are holding a ‘talk-up’ introduction meeting at 7.30pm on Monday, September 3 at Greenbank Theatre, Greenbank School, Hastings Road, Southport PR9 2LT. At that first meeting, the production team will outline the show and tell people about the characters and musical numbers and what they are looking for.

Auditions will be held on Monday, September 10 at 7.30 pm.

The society are not only keen to have cast members join, they also welcome front of house and backstage crew to help with scene shifting, props etc.

For more information visit the society’s website at www.southportspotlights.co.uk or contact their secretary, Elaine, at secretary@southportspotlights.co.uk.

A 60’s spectacular promised when popular show returns A POPULAR show celebrating the music of the 60s returns to the Southport Theatre and Convention Centre for one night only on Thursday, November 22 at 7.30pm.

The Sensational 60’s Experience brings audiences a three hour 60’s spectacular of pure nostalgia, and this is a new production for 2018.

The show with the definite feel good factor will transport people back to that magical decade that was the 1960’s.

A spokesman for the show said: “Six legendary names take to the stage and deliver to you a night never to be forgotten where you’ll find it impossible to remain in your seat. This is a must see 60’s show for 2018. Step back in time to when pop music was at its very best.”

The night stars: Mike Pender (original voice of The Searchers) Chris Farlowe, Herman’s Hermits, The Swinging Blue Jeans, New Amen

Mike Pender

Corner and The Fourmost.

Hits include: Needles and Pins, Out Of Time, I’m Into Something Good, Hippy Hippy Shake, Bend Me Shape Me, A Little Lovin, plus many more.

ALEXANDRA Burke will be appearing at the Liverpool Empire next February where she will reprise her role of Rachel Marron in the West End smash-hit musical, The Bodyguard.

She returns to the role following her triumphant run in the show in both the West End and the subsequent sell out UK tour which came to the King’s Theatre in March 2015.

She first rose to fame after winning the fifth series of The X Factor and her debut number one single Hallelujah sold over one million copies in the UK, a first for a British female soloist.

She most recently appeared as Svetlana in Chess at the London Coliseum and will soon appear as Roxie in Chicago at the West End’s Phoenix Theatre. Last year she reached the final of Strictly Come Dancing. Her other theatre credits include Deloris Van Cartier in the national tour of the musical Sister Act. Alexandra Burke will perform the role of Rachel Marron at all evening performances only except Tuesday, March 5.

Based on Lawrence Kasdan’s 1992 Oscar nominated Warner Bros. movie starring Whitney Houston and Kevin

Costner, The Bodyguard, directed by Thea Sharrock with book by Oscar winning (Birdman) Alex Dinelaris, had its world premiere at the Adelphi Theatre in London’s West End in 2012 and was nominated for four Olivier Awards.

A sell out 18 month UK and Ireland tour followed, before the show returned to the West End at the Dominion Theatre.

The Bodyguard has also played in the Netherlands, Germany, South Korea, Canada, Italy, Australia, Madrid, France, and on tour throughout the US and can currently be seen in Stuttgart.

Former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer, is hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker. Each expects to be in charge; what they don’t expect is to fall in love.

A romantic thriller, The Bodyguard features hits including Queen of the Night, So Emotional, One Moment in Time, Saving All My Love, Run to You, I Have Nothing, I Wanna Dance with Somebody and one of the biggest hit songs of all time – I Will Always Love You. The Bodyguard is at the Empire from Tuesday, February 26 until Saturday, March 9.

Alexandra Burke has been starring in the Bodyguard

Group returning to town with new Sherlock Holmes adaptation THIS autumn Blackeyed Theatre returns to Southport with a new adaptation of The Sign of Four, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s epic second Sherlock Holmes novel.

The production tours the UK from September to April 2019 but heads to The Atkinson on Friday 19 –Saturday, October 20.

Adapted and directed by Nick Lane, with music composed by Tristan Parkes, this world premiere embarks on a six-month UK tour this September.

When Mary Morstan arrives at Baker Street to request help following the mysterious disappearance of her father, Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr Watson are plunged into a murky world of deception and a complex plot involving murder, corruption and stolen jewels.

Audiences are being promised a show crammed full of adventure, romance, comedy and, of course, one or two rather brilliant deductions.

This faithful adaptation will combine original live music, high energy theatricality and ensemble storytelling.

The cast features Luke Barton as Sherlock Holmes (The Unexpected Guest, Mill at Sonning; Misterman, Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse), Joseph Derring-

ton as Dr John Watson (The Importance of Being Earnest, MAC Belfast;The Canterville Ghost, Erasmus Theatre), Zach Lee as Jonathan Small (Bouncers, Glass Menagerie, Hull Truck;The Derby McQueen Affair, York Theatre Royal), Stephanie Rutherford as Mary Morstan (Kubla Khan, Mirror Mirror,Oily Cart;Cinderella, Derby Theatre), Christopher Glover as Dost Akbar (Peckham The Soap Opera, Royal Court;EastEnders,BBC) and Ru Hamilton as Thaddeus Sholto (Tipping the Velvet, Lyric Hammersmith; Peter Pan, Derby Theatre).

Director Nick Lane commented: “I don't think I know anyone over the age of ten who doesn't know at least the name Sherlock Holmes.

“He is part of the literary fabric of this country - hugely popular and hugely adaptable - and his cases with Watson are a blueprint for so many crime novels, films, TV shows and theatre.

“We have approached this adaptation in a stylised way which will appeal to avid fans of the novel as well as those who simply want to come to the theatre and enjoy a rattling good crime story!”

Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of Four is produced by Blackeyed Theatre in association with New Theatre Royal

REGULAR readers will know that earlier this year I bought a house for the first time – but I’m beginning to wish I’d gone to Volkswagen rather than my local estate agent.

That’s because for all the fanfare over finally making a GTI version of the Up and the new engines being fitted to the T-Roc and Touareg off-roaders the Germans have finally given their official backing to something the aftermarket modifiers have been doing for years.

They ’ve turned to the biggest van they make as the basis for their latest campervan – and the result genuinely sounds like something that should be next to The Champion’s property ads rather than popping up here, in a column about cars.

Having driven the latest Crafter a couple of times I can confirm that it might as well be a Passat-on-stilts once you’re behind the wheel, but you’d be better off arranging a viewing of the Grand California, which goes on sale here next January, than taking it for a test drive.

It has – deep breath - a double bed, bunk beds for the little ones, two skylights, a front door 60 VAUXHALL

with an electrically-operated step to help you get in and a mosquito net to keep unwanted visitors out, Bluetooth speakers you can control with a smartphone, a separate bathroom with motionactivated lights, a solar panel on the roof, a satellite dish and a WiFi router. And a cuddly toy.

Probably.

But the reason why it catches my eye - even in a week when a Welshman got into serious trouble for breaking 33 speed limits in a rented Lamborghini while on holiday – is because it surely is a much better bet for travel lovers than its smaller California sibling.

Forget the fact that the older offering’s a bit of a campsite fashion statement and the direct descendant of the hippy-endorsed VW campers of the Sixties, because the brutal truth is that it’s still bit cosy if there are more than two of you staying in it.

Basing the Grand California on the rather larger Crafter – so essentially, it’s a Mercedes Sprinter van given the full Kirsty ‘n’ Phil treatment – sounds like a much more sensible idea, because you’ll be able to chill out in your air-conditioned rear quarters and catch up with Netflix while folk in smaller VW campers are still banging their heads on the roof.

The only thing Volkswagen hasn’t announced on the Grand California is the price – but you can expect it to be rather more than the £46,625 its smaller brother starts at.

Maybe I can apply for a mortgage to cover it…

Northern rush to victory as Sephton adds to wicket tally RAIN washed out the conclusion of many matches last Saturday and as the 2018 Liverpool & District Cricket Competition season draws to a close in five weeks time the fading hours of daylight mean noon starts come into force this weekend, writes Glenn Wallworth.

But Premier Division leaders Northern didn’t worry about the weather as they made light work of beating Wallasey at Moor Park.

The visitors were asked to bat and were dismissed for just 72, thanks in no small part to Tom Sephton who went past 70 wickets for the season with 5-34.

Hayden McCrae then anchored Northern’s reply with an unbeaten 38 as the hosts coasted to victory on 74-3 in the 12th over.

Ormskirk remain second after a three wicket win at Rainford after they bowled out the hosts for 184.

Former Ormskirk skipper David Snellgrove top scored with 56, whilst the pick of the bowlers was undoubtedly Tom Hartley with 5-49.

In Ormksirk’s reply, skipper Nicky Caunce 38* and Luke Platt 28* guided the visitors to victory on 188-7, with John Dotters taking 4-84.

An under strength Formby were beaten by eight wickets at Colwyn Bay. Formby chose to bat with Sam Oldham 28 top scoring in a below par total of 94, as the rest struggled to cope against Paul Jenkins 4-14 and Ryan Holtby 4-32.

Patrick Leach 32 and George Johansen 29* then guided Colwyn Bay to victory on 95-2 in the 17th over.

Supporters angry as game ends early due to ‘dangerous pitch’ FIRWOOD Bootle began a sequence of three home matches in four days by beating Formby last Thursday to reach the final of the Liverpool Echo Cup. Things were not looking too bright when Bootle were bowled out for 122 in the final over of their 20, especially when openers Will Porterfield and Ollie Sutton raised 46 for the visitors’ frist wicket.

As soon as Craig Prince turned to his spinners, brothers Vishal and Bharat Tripathi and Danny Davies, however, the match underwent a dramatic metamorphosis as these three conceded just 38 runs from their twelve overs whilst capturing six wickets. Formby got only as far as 115-7 when their innings closed to lose by 7 runs.

Saturday’s Premier League match with Lytham was ruined by the weather after the visiting team had been dismissed for

178 in the 58th over. Bootle were going along nicely at 85-1 and seemingly well on course for victory when rain drove the players from the field, to where they never returned.

There was a bizarre ending to the following day’s Ray Digman Trophy semifinal, in which Northern put Bootle in after winning the toss.

The hosts had reached 55-1 in the sixteenth over when the visiting captain, James Cole, led his players from the field claiming that the pitch was dangerous.

The umpires perplexingly upheld this view and the match was abandoned, much to the anger and astonishment of the home players and supporters.

On Saturday next Bootle make the long trip to Colwyn Bay in the Premier League (noon start) and on Sunday stage the Echo Cup final against Neston at Wadham Road (1pm).

Bucks bow out of the FA Cup at first hurdle Penistone Church 2 Bootle 1 BOOTLE bowed out of the Emirates FA Cup after Nathan Keightley's goal 20 minutes from time handed Penistone Church victory on Saturday, writes Connor O’Neill.

Phil Stafford's side came into the game on the back of two draws against Irlam and Winsford United in their first two league games.

For the first 25 minutes, Bootle dominated proceedings with Elliott Nevitt and Andrew Gillespie both wasting chances to fire the Bucks ahead.

But on 27 minutes, the Bucks inability to turn their dominance into goals would come back to haunt them.

The hosts opened the scoring with their first meaningful attempt on goal.

A quick counter-attack saw

Sam Scrivens release Kieran Ryan who finished into the bottom corner of the net.

To their credit though, Bootle rallied and restored parity with three minutes remaining of the first half courtesy of Carl Peers's neat finish.

But any dreams the Bucks had of Wembley come May ended on 70 minutes when Keightley headed home Ryan's deep cross.

In reply, Chris Edwards 43 and Haroon Khan 27 took the hosts to 81-2 before Liam Gibbons 4-17 and Cam Lawrenson 4-38 spun the game on its head.

But the hosts managed to

hang on at 114-9.

Hightown St Mary’s match at Spring View ended in a draw, the visitors were bowled out for 191 (Dar 83, Broad 4-13 & Matthews 344) and in reply the hosts were 144-4 (Tolen 33*& Gadzina 4-61).

THIS weekend’s local LDCC fixture’s (noon start): Colwyn Bay v Bootle, Formby v Highfield, Ormskirk v Leigh, Rainhill v Northern, Fleetwood Hesketh v Orrell Red Triangle, Newton le Willows v Ainsdale, Southport & Birkdale v Burscough, Hightown St Mary’s v Caldy, Maghull v St Helens Town and Northop Hall v Southport Trinity.

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

IN front of a large crowd supplemented by the club’s very successful Mini Kickers Academy who were mascots for the afternoon, Maghull opened their new West Cheshire League season with a resounding six goals to two victory over visitors Neston Nomads at Old Hall Field last Saturday.

Star man of the afternoon was striker Wayne Smith who celebrated his return to the club with a hat trick. The home side were three up after 25 minutes courtesy of an eighth minute strike from skipper Elliot Toner followed seven minutes later by the first of Smiths efforts and

ten minutes later by a Marcus Stewart strike.

Smith added a fourth after the interval before the visitors briefly fought back to reduce the arrears thanks to Hully and Jefferson.

But further goals from Smith and David Thomson secured maximum points for the hosts.

A youthful Maghull Reserves returned home from Wallasey without a point when they were defeated by a single goal at Ashville Reserves.

Failure to find the target and some indiscipline proved costly in their opening match of the new campaign.

Next Saturday Maghull are again at home when they entertain West Kirby in a first division contest whilst the Reserves visit Heswall.

Both games kick off at 3pm.
