Vol 26 l Issue 8

INSIDE THIS WEEK: Taxi driver wanted after ‘driving into two people’ in road rage attack POLICE are looking for witnesses to come forward after a taxi driver allegedly drove into a man and pinned him against another car during a shocking road rage incident in Litherland.

At around 6.25pm on Saturday, January 26, police were informed the occupants of a black 3 Series BMW were involved in a confrontation with the driver of a private hire taxi.

The taxi driver is alleged to have driven into a man and woman after they left their vehicle, pinning the man in between the two vehicles and causing him a minor leg injury, as well as damage to their vehicle.

The taxi is described as a black Peugeot Expert private hire, with a yellow sign on the roof, with two front seats, and five in the back.

The driver is described as white, mid 30s, with a round face, dark sandy, wavy hair, and a stocky build. He wore a dark jacket with a collar.

Enquiries are ongoing to establish the identity of this taxi and speak to the driver.

Detective Constable Donna Oakley said: “The exact circumstances of this incident are unclear but it appears to be a case of road rage, in which we believe a car was driven towards the victims, thankfully not resulting in more serious injuries.

“It would have been extremely distressing to experience or witness and I want to appeal for anyone who saw this incident, who was passing with dashcam or has home or business CCTV to come forward.

“Any piece of information you have could be vital to this ongoing investigation.”

Anyone with information or who witnessed the incident is asked to contact the social media desk @MerPolCC, call 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

TWO MEN RESCUED FROM SINKING SANDS

Photographers were taking sunset pictures when they got trapped in rising water and had to be rescued by RNLI Report by Tom Martin

TWO photographers who were taking pictures of the sunset on Crosby beach became trapped in sinking sand and had to be rescued by the RNLI. The two men, along with their camera equipment, were stuck in the rising water which had reached their waist by the time rescuers were able to get to them.

They became trapped during fast-flooding water at around three hours before high tide on Saturday, February 16.

The lifeboat crew from the RNLI were called out at 5.15pm and they were helped by the Coastguard Rescue helicopter.

They encountered problems because the tide was not deep enough for the RNLI inshore lifeboat, Noma Ethel Vinall, to reach the casualties, so volunteer RNLI New Brighton Lifeboat Helm Jay Hennessey had to enter the water to help the men get out.

He said: “The plan was to assess the two casualties before deciding the best course of action for getting them out.

“But once with them I realised how much of a precarious situation they were in, so I got down on my knees to spread myself further and started digging them out.

“The mud was quite soft, so it hadn’t fully taken

hold, and once freed a little both men were able to move.

“As we headed towards our lifeboat, we had to move as quickly and as lightly as possible for fear of sinking further.

“Fortunately, the water had risen enough by then that our lifeboat could come alongside and we were able to get both casualties onboard.”

RNLI helm Shaun Wright steered the lifeboat towards the casualties, while RNLI lifeboat crew members Rob Kershaw and Jay Hennessey helped the men onboard.

GREAT DEALS ON BEDS!

As the casualties had been in the water for around 25 minutes, they were transferred to Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service’s Marine Rescue Unit who were on stand-by before being taken to hospital for a precautionary assessment.

RNLI New Brighton Lifeboat Helm Jay Hennessey added: “As we get warmer weather, we advise everyone visiting our beaches to watch for muddy areas. Also to avoid crossing wide, flat estuaries and bays where these are more common. If you are in difficulty or spot someone else in trouble, always dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”

SEFTON Central MP Bill Esterson says the resignation of seven MPs from the Labour Party to form an independent group “will help the Tories” and “do nothing for those who need a change of government.”

He was speaking after MPs Chuka Umunna, Luciana Berger, Chris Leslie, Angela Smith, Mike Gapes, Gavin Shuker and Ann Coffey quit Labour in protest at leader Jeremy Corbyn’s approach to Brexit and anti-Semitism.

Ms Berger, who is the Wavertree MP, said Labour had become institutionally anti-Semitic and she was “embarrassed and ashamed” to stay in the party.

Mr Esterson said: “The split does nothing to end austerity or the sanctions regime or the explosion in food bank use or exploitation of workers.

“Labour in power is the best way to deliver for ordinary people.

“This split helps the Tories and does nothing for those who need a change of government.”

The seven MPs are not launching a new political party and instead they will sit in Parliament as the independent group.

In a statement, Mr Corbyn said: “I am disappointed that these MPs have felt unable to continue to work together for the Labour policies that inspired millions at the last election and saw us increase our vote by the largest share since 1945.”

This sentiment has been echoed by Bootle MP Peter Dowd.

He said: “If the seven former Labour MPs feel

that they’re unable to fight for a Labour government then that’s a matter for them.

“Meanwhile, I’ll continue to concentrate on tackling the injustices and misery millions of people are facing under Universal Credit, rising crime, low wages, homelessness and collapsing public services.

“Their exit will do nothing to tackle those injustices.

“Only Labour can rebuild Britain for the many not the few and the many in our Party (248 MPs, 6,400 councillors and a party membership of more than half a million people) will continue to try to achieve that goal.

“I want to be part of that team, but if the seven don’t want be so be it.”

Plaque unveiled for former pupil who was killed by terrorist bomb Father Gerry Weston tried to promote peace in Northern Ireland during the Troubles Report by Tom Martin A SCHOOL in Crosby held a special event to pay tribute to a former pupil who died in a bomb attack in the 1970s after working as a priest in Northern Ireland during ‘the Troubles.’

A plaque was unveiled at St Mary’s College to honour the life and work of army chaplain Father Gerry Weston, who was killed in February 1972, and is buried close to the school at SS Peter and Paul Church on Liverpool Road.

The event was held to tie in with the college’s annual Patron’s Day Mass at the church.

Following the service a wreath was laid at Father Weston’s grave, before guests returned to St Mary’s to see the new plaque unveiled under the school’s World War Two memorial.

The ceremony was attended by Father Weston’s brother Paul and senior British Army representatives including Lt Col Andrew Jackson, a former pupil of St Mary ’s College, and Lt Col Paul Weston next to the plaque with CCF Contingent Commander Niall Rothnie, CCF Andrew Wareing, both standard bearer Georgina Duncan and St Mary’s principal Mike Kennedy senior officers in the ParaHis actions were officially recognised chute Regiment, former when he was awarded the MBE for gallantry colleagues and members of on February 15, 1972.

Man charged over digger damage at Travelodge hotel A MAN from Netherton has been charged with damage to a Travelodge in Liverpool when a digger driver smashed through the entrance of the building.

John Manley, 35, of St Aidan’s Way, is accused of criminal damage and recklessly endangering life following the incident on The digger crashing Monday, January 21. into the hotel Video footage has shown a man on a mini excavator driving through the main entrance of a Travelodge hotel in Liverpool Innovation Park.

Several construction workers recorded the carnage, and mobile phone footage showed the digger smash the front entrance and then carry on causing damage once inside.

The hotel, which was under construction at the time, needed repair work although it wasn't as bad as first feared, because little structural damage was caused.

It was alleged that the man was a disgruntled worker who was owed money. In the videos, he is heard shouting “£600 quid, all you had to do was pay me.”

Merseyside Police confirmed they had arrested and charged a man last week, and he appeared at magistrates court on Friday, February 15.

Nurse’s ‘gothic Western’ play staged at city theatre Report by Tom Martin

A NURSE from Crosby who has a talent for writing has penned a Western play to be performed in Liverpool.

Helen Jones, who is an advanced nurse practitioner in critical care at the Walton Centre, has wrote The Barn Swallows, to be premiered at The Hope Street Theatre between March 69.

It's not the first success Helen has had in script writing.

She was researcher and script editor of the musical play Twopence to Cross the Mersey, which had several successful runs at the Liverpool Empire Theatre, and she also co-wrote the book Julia’s Banjo with Rob Fennah, which was translated to stage at the Epstein Theatre in 2018.

Helen said: “Being creative is important to me.

£83k grant to kick-start stadium upgrade work

MARINE Football Club will be able to upgrade their stadium this summer after getting an £83,000 grant from the Football Stadia Improvement Fund.

The Crosby club announced plans to carry out a wide-scale revamp of the Marine Travel Arena in December 2017 and has been fundraising to meet the costs of the work ever since.

At one point last year, the scheduled start of the refurbishment was delayed as the club needed more time to find the funds, but this grant will enable work to start this year.

It comes as perfect timing for Marine chairman Paul Leary, as this year is the Marine Travel Arena club’s 125th anniversary.

Mr Leary said: “This is fantastic news for our football club as we look forward to with the scheme completed ahead of our seeing a major upgrade to the front of our first prestigious pre-season friendly that stadium coinciding with our 125th opens our 125 celebrations in mid-July anniversary celebrations this summer.

Concerns were raised by residents about a loss of parking spaces, as the car park is used by the football club on matchdays and during the week it is available as a pay and display facility used by shoppers.

Pub ‘cannon’ to be kept as part of flats conversion plan CONSULTANTS behind plans to turn the former Crosby Hotel pub into flats have assured locals they will keep the historic ‘cannon’ outside the building.

There were fears developers would remove the structure and a campaign has been launched to save what they say is a “significant part of the heritage of Crosby Village.”

It is positioned at the front of the building, on Liverpool Road, having been placed there at some point around 1860 to protect the wall of St Luke's church from damage.

Now, the consultants behind the project, Philip Seddon Associates, have confirmed they are

incorporating the cannon into their plans by relocating it near the front entrance of the flats.

An applicant referred to in planning documents as the EI Group Plc want to convert the former pub, which closed down last year, into 11 selfcontained flats.

A decision on the proposal is yet to be made by Sefton Council.

The cannon, according to local historians, was installed in the mid-nineteenth century to protect the adjacent wall of St Luke’s Church as carts carrying agricultural products were turning into a weighbridge on the current site of the Crosby pub.

A Facebook group called Save the Crosby Cannon was set up when they heard about the pub plans, having identified the cannon as having historical importance.

Report by Tom Martin OWNERS of P&A Audio Visual store in Crosby say they are “going nowhere” despite putting their building up for sale.

The Champion reported last week how the Liverpool Road property was put on the market for £425,000 after ‘for sale' signs were placed on the shop front.

FORMER Liverpool manager Roy Evans will headline a fundraising dinner at Marine Football Club.

The Crosby club, which is hosting the event in partnership with Sefton Veterans FC, will welcome the ex-Reds boss to the Marine Travel Arena and he will tell some of the memorable tales of his time in charge at Anfield.

It will be held on Friday, March 22 and all proceeds from the event will be shared between Marine and Sefton Veterans.

Entertainment will also be provided by Liverpool comedian Gary Skyner.

Marine chairman Paul Leary said: “We are really pleased that Roy has accepted an invitation to be our main guest at this important fundraising event at Marine.

“His attendance will certainly create a lot of interest locally and I look forward to meeting him and sharing with him his experiences as Liverpool manager in the nineties.

“We are delighted to host an event for the first time for Sefton Veterans FC. “Dave and Richie Scanlan, both members of the club, are sons of the late George Scanlan, who was Marine manager in the early seventies so it is really nice their football club has entered into a partnership with us.

“This is another example of how sporting clubs can get together to help each other and I am sure the new relationship will be good for both parties.”

Roy Evans was appointed manager of Liverpool in January 1994 following the resignation of Graham Souness and took the team from a mediocre midtable position to finish 8th by the end of the season and win the League Cup.

Roy Evans.

For the 1994-95 season, Evans strengthened his side with a number of signings and gave first-team opportunities to youngsters including Steve McManaman, Jamie Redknapp and Robbie Fowler.

By 1998 Evans had successfully assembled a talented nucleus of players, who were particularly impressive going forward and in their attacking football, where Evans had been credited with creating arguably the nation’s most exciting and aesthetically pleasing team of the 1990s.

In November 1998 Evans resigned leaving comanager Gerrard Houllier in sole charge.

Moores family pay tribute to Lady Grantchester, 93

Roman Gladiator themed activity park is on way Report by Henry James

Report by Tom Martin A PRINCE’S Trust award-winner is to open a Gladiators-style activity park called The Romans in Aintree.

Dung throwing, giant sandal racing and goat-milking are some of the outrageous ‘sports’ to be offered to stag and hen dos, office outings and birthday parties at the activity park when it opens later this year.

The Romans is the brainchild of Joe Clarke, 33, from Aintree who said it will aim to blend the wackiness of TV’s Takeshi’s Castle with the physical challenge of popular show The Gladiators.

Other contests for up to 100 participants will include blindfolded boxing, giant sandal racing and a bungee challenge.

Joe said: “We’ve seen a massive rise in bookings for hen and stag parties coming to Liverpool to enjoy outdoor activities.

“The current trend in all things medieval, with the huge success of TV series such as Game of Thrones inspired me to devise a Romanthemed activity park.

“With a bit of investment and lots of imagination, I’ve created something unique.”

Clarke was set on the venue, after research among the UK’s top hen and stag party operators showed Liverpool was the location of choice for bridesmaids and best men looking to give their mates a send-off to remember, before they tie the knot.

And he’s convinced the site next to the racecourse will prove a hit. He

One of the activities, above, which will be on offer, and, inset, work taking place to create a new part of the attraction.

added: “It’s already attracting bookings from hen and stag parties and, interestingly, we are now receiving enquiries from companies looking to put on themed teambuilding events for staff.”

The activities are suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.

Two years ago Joe was presented with the Princes Trust Enterprise Award which recognises young people who have overcome barriers and achieved success in creating a sustainable business.

He intends to expand the venture indoors with themed dinners and events.

Joe added: “Hen and stag parties are often perceived to be badly behaved, but most are looking for fun and memorable experiences and something unique which The Romans will offer.”

The 1,500sq metre park will include a purpose-built coliseum and all participants will receive costumes, face painting and will meet and be hosted by gladiators, emperors and Roman goddesses.

LADY Grantchester, one of Britain's richest women who helped her father Sir John Moores build the Littlewoods empire and sold Everton FC in 1994, has died aged 93 after a short illness.

Elizabeth Suenson-Taylor, who lived in Bootle and Formby as a child, passed away on February 2 and she leaves behind an incredible legacy in the north west.

She was the eldest daughter of the late Sir John Moores, and is known for her influential role in the Littlewoods empire as well as being the woman who sold Everton to Peter Johnson 25 years ago.

Born in Bootle in 1925 as Elizabeth Moores, and forever known as Betty, she went on to live in Formby before an even bigger move for the family came when she was five and this took her to Kent.

She studied History and Law at Newnham College in Cambridge, where she met her husband, Kenneth Suenson-Taylor, who she married in 1947.

In 1971 she joined a business course and was later asked to join the Littlewoods board, the company which her father founded.

Taking over as director in 1977, she was credited with restoring the company to financial health during a difficult late 1980s and early 1990s.

At one stage, The Littlewoods Organisation was the largest family owned company in the UK with £3.5 billion turnover and 510,000 employees throughout the country.

In 1999, she was listed by The Independent newspaper as the wealthiest woman in

the United Kingdom with a family fortune estimated to be more than a billion pounds.

A family statement, released a week after her death, read: “Littlewoods was firmly committed to its roots in Liverpool and the north west where it was a major employer and supporter of the local community.

“Lady Grantchester was particularly involved in the Moores Family Charity, financed by 1% of Littlewoods profits, which supported a broad spectrum of those in need ranging from helping individuals to funding local sporting and youth clubs, environmental projects such as the Mersey Forest, both Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Liverpool and arts organisations such as the Welsh National Opera. “ In 2018, Lady Grantchester helped promote a celebration in Liverpool of 95 years of the Littlewoods Organisation and was disappointed when ill health prevented her attendance at the dinner in the Anglican Cathedral.

“Lady Grantchester was also the driving force behind the revival and continued success of the celebrated John Moores Painting Prize.

“In more recent years, seeing the synergies between Liverpool and Shanghai, she helped to found and organise the John Moores Painting Prize China which supports emerging artists in the far-east.

“In 2015 she was received an Honorary Fellowship from Liverpool John Moores University for her outstanding contribution to the arts, business and the community. “ Lady Grantchester sold Littlewoods to the Barclays brothers in 2002.

She died peacefully at home on February 2 after a short illness, with her family at her side. She is survived by her sister, six chil-

A memorial service will be held in London later in the year.

Plan to build homes on former school site Report by Tom Martin

Mobility bathrooms and additional toilets are our speciality

HOMES are set to be built on the site of a former high school in Litherland.

Proposals have been put forward to build 185 homes on land off Orrell Road, which has been left derelict ever since St Wilfrid’s Catholic High School was closed and the buildings demolished in 2012.

Bellway Homes has targeted the land for a residential development and have been carrying out a Environmental Impact Assessment which is standard practice before a full planning application is submitted to Sefton Council.

Rail passengers can use Walrus cards to travel

Property buyers in the northwest s for over 20 years 100% of value available instantly FREE no obligation advice FREE valuation including report Any area or condition Family run business Probate specialist

Report by Tom Martin TRAIN commuters who have a Railpass will now be able to use the contactless Walrus smartcard to travel.

From Monday, February 18, the smartcard offer from Merseytravelwill has been extended to cover weekly, monthly and annual Railpass tickets.

The benefit is that rail users will be able to scan their Walrus card to get through the platform barriers, rather than having to take out their ticket, so it should be faster for them.

It has been described as the latest step in the creation of a contactless ticketing system which can be used across the Liverpool City Region transport network.

This has been a pledge from Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram as he looks to improve public transport across the area.

A spokesperson for Merseytravel said: “Walrus cards use contactless validation technology so you can now just tap through the station ticket gates.

“There is a one-off £1 activation charge when you buy a new Walrus card - so if you already have a card remember to keep hold of it. Photocards will still be required for Railpass on Walrus card. Please remember to bring your photocard with you when renewing. If you are a new Railpass customer, please bring a passport photo with you.”

Saveaway, Solo and Arriva and Stagecoach weekly passes can all be loaded onto the Walrus card.

Walrus cards loaded with Railpass tickets can be purchased at all staffed Merseyrail Northern and Wirral line stations and, depending on the zones they cover, can be used across all rail lines in the Merseytravel network.

PropertiesBought4Cash

Call our Liverpool Office on 0151 268 0252 or 07531 644 867 www.propertiesbought4cash.co.uk

Train commuters can now use Walrus cards

They can also be used on the Northern-operated City Line.

Smart Railpass tickets will also be available to buy from City Line stations from next month.

REPLACEMENT trees which have been planted at Ford Cemetery in Litherland to make up for a controversial axing of 50 trees last year are starting to take shape.

12 months ago the Champion published images of around 50 chopped down trees, which led to a furious backlash from readers who hit out at the Archdiocese of Liverpool for the mass axing of the trees.

They always planned to plant new ones around the edge of the cemetery, and they are starting to become a more prominent feature of the burial grounds.

One passer-by who spotted the trees said: “It looks a lot better. It's still not the same as when they chopped down the trees last year because it looked awful for months. Thankfully it looks a little better now because I think trees make it a more comforting place to visit.”

The Archdiocese of Liverpool chopped down the older trees after claiming “a number of them were found to be dangerous due to disease and inappropriate growth.”

Tips on cheaper cooking better than food banks Following the recent article in The Champion, I’m sure food banks have their place somewhere in society, but not Maghull and Lydiate which are fairly affluent areas.

Sure, there will always be families in any area who have fallen on hard times but I find it hard to believe there are 7,000 such families in Maghull and Lydiate so either people are simply taking advantage of free food or they are coming from different areas where perhaps the Maghull foodbank should be relocated.

I recently bought all the fresh ingredients for four healthy family dinners for £14 from Asda.

So poorer people can eat cheaply.

Perhaps the food bank volunteers should use their time more effectively by demonstrating some good shopping and cooking tips.

Name supplied, Maghull.

Good work by school on window display The wonderful window display at the St Joseph’s Hospice shop in MaghuLl for Valentine’s Day was done by St Andrews school.

Could you please give the school a mention in your paper as they so deserve it.

Thank you.

Council should work with Highways England to get Rimrose Valley improved Following the result of the Judicial Review last October in which Sefton Council, lost its case for Highways England (HE) to consider building a tunnel to gain access to and from the new dock in Seaforth, we are now informed that the council are adopting a policy of non-cooperation with HE. This is in spite of HE asking to sit down with you and members of the community to minimise the effects a road through the valley may cause.

We understand that they have offered to work with both yourselves and members of the community, not only to minimise the effects of the road, but also to enhance the valley.

HE are having to bring in a arbitrator/mediator just to communicate with you.

Not only is this causing additional costs but delays to construction of the new road.

In the meantime the HGVs using the A5036

are increasing daily..

A road through the valley would remove a large part of this as nobody would be living within the fall-out zones of the dangerous pollutants generated by these heavy vehicles.

You are now being offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to take part in a scheme that can result in many benefits to south Sefton.

You can have a major input to the enhancement of the valley, possibly new sporting facilities, cycle routes, paths, landscaping,etc.

It could become an area that we can all be proud of and for future generations to enjoy.

For this council to now adopt a non-communication policy with HE can only be considered as a serious neglect of duty.

Become part of the solution, not the problem.

John O’Neill, Church Road and District Residents Association

EU standards of road safety must be kept after Brexit EU vehicle safety is set for a giant leap forward, with a crunch European Parliament vote on new safety regulations taking place this week.

The new regulations seek to mandate life-saving technology, including Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), and Lane Keep Assistance (LKA), on all future new vehicles entering the European market.

This could prevent 25,000 deaths and 140,000 serious injuries from 2022-2037.

As March 29 edges ever closer, surveys show that UK drivers want the cars on our roads to meet the highest safety standards possible postBrexit, – but they don’t want the money in their pockets to take a hit.

The EU is taking bold steps to transform road safety by seeking to mandate life-saving vehicle technology, taking the onus off drivers and placing it on manufacturers.

Drivers want these technologies to be fit as standard and so we urge our representatives in the European Parliament to give these measures their full support.

The UK has committed to be at the cutting edge of vehicle development with huge investment in connected and autonomous vehicles – technologies which have the potential to eliminate driver error and save countless lives.

It would be a tragedy if the Government allowed the safety of vehicles on our roads to lag behind those in Europe and so it is vital that these ground-breaking EU standards are maintained, or improved, in the UK, post-Brexit.

Filter system is realistic answer to solve road ‘rat run’ problem Re: Champion article on the ‘no right turn’ sign on The Crescent in Thornton.

It’s a complete waste of money.

In the last week I’ve seen two cars turn right totally ignoring the new sign.

If no one is there to enforce it then it’s not worth having,

which is exactly what I was told by a council employee.

It’s not really a problem anyway because the traffic is always bumper to bumper on Moor Lane since the new road opened and a ‘no right turn’ will not reduce the amount of traffic on The Crescent anyway as the

majority of the traffic wants to turn left towards Crosby.

A more realistic answer would be to put a filter arrow from Edge Lane onto Moor Lane in the direction of Crosby.

Paul O’Shea, By email

More drivers miss lights than turn right

Access Only sign would be better

Further to your article about The Crescent.

Am I missing something?

Many vehicles that come down into Crosby turn left at the junction as though they are heading to Netherton, then do a quick right turn into The Crescent to jump the queue of traffic at that junction. Then they turn left onto Moor Lane.

Also, many cars turn into The Crescent to miss the lights I am sure more do that than turn right.

Also, surely they could have all the traffic lights along that road on green at the same time giving a better flow of traffic?

Unfortunately, the council’s proposal to ban a right turn from The Crescent into Moor Lane will have little effect on limiting the rat run drivers.

On four separate occasions I have seen selfish motorists speeding along the access road, all intent on turning left into Moor Lane.

The highest number was 20 in 30 minutes!

This endangers pedestrians and motorists reversing from the parking bays into the access road.

Better suggestions would be an enforced ‘Access Only ’ notice at the junction of The Crescent and Edge Lane and pedestrian lights at The Crescent.

Timer switch on subway lights would save energy There may be unseasonably mild weather at the moment but there was still a touch of frost at dawn this weekend in rural West Lancashire. Picture by Martyn Snape.

I read with interest the article on the upgraded lighting in this subway, courtesy of the local councillor.

It has taken three years to get this completed and endless emails to our councillor in order to

get this work done.

There is plenty of money available in the Ward Budgets for work of this nature to be accomplished but councillors seem very reluctant to spend it.

Whilst the lighting is an

improvement, fitting a timer switch would prevent the lights being on in daylight hours and wasting energy.

Thinking of Moving House?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We can deal with Help to Buy Government

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

PROPERTY MATTERS

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

Band night in Marine’s memory raises £4,000 A BAND night has raised £4,000 in aid of an animal charity in memory of a Marine engineer who died suddenly at the of age 45.

Colin Pinnington, from Waterloo, died from natural causes while he slept on November 10.

Colin had served as a Marine Engineer Mechanic in the Royal Navy and also had a number of jobs including welding before becoming a taxi driver.

A group of his friends held a band night at the Lion and Unicorn pub in Waterloo earlier this month, featuring some of Colin’s favourite artists including Paul Kappa, Brendan O'Rourke, Derek and the Erics and Adam Ritchie.

All of the funds raised will go to the Carla Lane Animals in Need centre and his friends said it was an appropriate tribute to Colin as he enjoyed watching bands and loved animals.

One of the event organisers Nick Gartland said: “What can I say, an idea to remember Col absolutely grew and grew, the night was amazing.

“We wanted a night, in his local with everyone he knew having a drink, a sing song, a laugh, a quip etc and we think we done that.

“The pub was full to the brim with friends and family, having a great time, remembering Col. So proud what Barry, Mike, Dave, Rob and myself achieved.

“We raised a huge £4,000 – £5,000 after Gift Aid – for Carla Lane Animals in Need Liverpool.

“The night itself couldn’t have been a success without the help of a number of people who gave their time, services and/or money to help make the evening what it was and we would like to thank them!

“These include the bands and the guys who helped set up and do the sound across the evening and the Lion & Unicorn, thank you for all of the hard work and assistance from the management and staff at the pub. Not only for evening itself but set up and helping prepare for the event.

“We would like to thank everyone who donated a prize for the raffle for auction, the generosity was off the scale.

“Lastly we would like to thank everyone who came to the night!”

Conference to debate mental health issues among young people Respected speakers to address Talking Minds event hosted by school Report by Tom Martin A CONFERENCE will be held in Crosby looking at ways to identify and support mental health issues among teenagers and young people.

Several respected speakers will address the event, which is aimed at primarily teachers and other professionals working in youth services.

Writer and activist Natasha Devon MBE, who conducts research on mental health, body image, gender and social equality, will be among the keynote speakers at the Talking Minds event, which takes place at Merchant Taylors’ School, Crosby on Friday, May 24.

She will be joined by Jonny Benjamin, who has also been awarded an MBE for his services to mental health and suicide prevention, State of Mind ambassador and former rugby player Danny Sculthorpe, and Dick Moore, a former headmaster with a background in adolescent development and emotional wellbeing.

The one-day conference will also include workshop sessions hosted by Childline, Liverpool Mental Health Consortium and Merseyside Mindfulness as well as Jo Morgan, head of pastoral care at Portsmouth Grammar School, and Dr Laura Goodwin and Dr Andrew Jones, mental health academics from the University of Liverpool.

Randal Yates, organiser of the event and head of middle school at Merchant Taylors’ School, said:

Natasha Devon will be talking at the event

“Mental wellbeing among teenagers and young adults has never been higher on the agenda for teachers, parents and professionals across the spectrum of youth services.

“Talking Minds is a chance for educators and their professional peers to exchange ideas and share best practice on how to support young people with issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other psychological difficulties.

“We have a great line-up of speakers and contributors with a diverse range of perspectives and experiences and we are looking forward to welcoming delegates to an insightful day of thought leadership and conversation.”

One free delegate place is available for every maintained sector school in Sefton.

NHS 111 service can now be accessed online

A dog can often be a person’s best or indeed their only friend I had an uplifting experience a couple of days ago.

I was in Southport waiting for the 300 bus home when an elderly woman came up along with her small dog and sat on a bench near the bus shelter.

It was a lovely little light brown doggy - and the two were obviously very close.

The bus was late and as there wasn’t a timetable in the shelter, I walked back to the next one down the road and since you can see said bus as it makes its way down Lord Street to turn round and begin its journey back to Liverpool, I knew I had plenty of time to walk back to the terminus stop again.

The woman and dog were still there but by now the wee dog had progressed to cuddling up on its owner ’s knee. They were both as bored with waiting as I was.

Anyway, everything comes to he, she or dog who waits - and sure enough the errant bus turned up quite soon after.

Their obvious love - and yes, that IS the word for it - that they showed for each other brought home to me a lesson that I learned many years ago.

And that was reinforced after the death of my brother five years ago leaving me alone in this world with just my dog, Tina, and my brother’s cheeky (and greedy) dog, Cinders.

And my brief encounter with the little brown dog and its mistress, who alighted in Lydiate, got me thinking.

I reckon it's about time dogs were rehabilitated.

All too often they are reported in a negative way.

We all know the problem with them leaving messages on the pavement and playing fields.

Did you know that complaints about this in my home town of Maghull have featured regularly in Town Council, and before that the old Parish Council records since at least the 1930s?

There are also the media stories of horrific attacks by dogs on children - for which there is no excuse.

But many years ago now I remember my then dog, the original Tina (the present one is Tina ‘4’) who was hit on her head by a large Dinky ‘Supertoy ’ by a child.

Happily, that Tina really liked kiddies and reacted by simply shaking her dazed head, as you might if you've just be clunked by a heavy piece of metal.

I wonder what the reaction of your average adult person would be if they were attacked in the same manner for no better reason than the person wielding the weapon felt like it?

If the then Tina had reacted as I might in similar circumstances then she would probably have been ‘put down’ as the killing of a dog is euphemistically termed.

You often see letters in the press calling for dogs to be banned from open spaces and parks. But not so many calling for a ban on youths who leave a trail of smashed beer glasses stolen from pubs and broken play equipment meant for kiddies?

The fact is that dog ‘horror ’ stories only get into the media because they are so rare.

Motor vehicles involved in accidents, unless of course it involves a bus, rarely get a mention unless true carnage occurred.

But I bet many more children are hurt in road accidents than ever are bitten by a dog.

And dogs are often very good friends to youngsters - and even more so to the more elderly members of our society, to whom their dog is perhaps not only their best friend, but their only one.

When Tina ‘3’ died several people stopped me in the street, or phoned me, to commiserate. One or two stupid and totally unfeeling chumps advised me to “cheer up, it's only a dog.�

Oh no it wasn’t. And it wasn't an ‘it’ either. Tina was a very much loved she.

A DOCTOR is raising awareness of the NHS 111 online service as an alternative to using the NHS’s non-emergency phone service 111.

The online service uses the same algorithms that operators of phone line 111 use to recommend the right actions for patients with urgent but non life threatening conditions.

The service was introduced last year but the health service is seeking to promote its use through its Help Us Help You campaign.

Dr Kieran Murphy, medical director for NHS England (Cheshire and Merseyside, Lancashire and South Cumbria), said: “This is a new way to access the NHS 111 service and provides you with another convenient way to get the right help or advice when you need it. “Whether over the phone or online, NHS 111 will ensure that you get the right care from the right person as quickly as possible.�

Pupils rewarded for trying to put brakes on scrambler bike YOUNGSTERS from schools in Bootle and Litherland have been rewarded for trying to put the brakes on scrambler bikes in south Sefton.

Children from St Oswalds Primary School, in Netherton; The Grange Primary School and Hatton Hill Primary School, both in Bootle; and Lander Road Primary School, in Litherland, have all been praised by Merseyside Police for their involvement in an anti-scrambler bike education project.

Now in its fourth year, the project was set up by Constable Alan Thompson from Bootle Neighbourhood team, with help from Sefton Council, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, and aims to highlight the impact off-road bikes have on communities.

Early in 2018, Year 5 pupils at the schools received education on the dangers of off-road bikes and impact they cause in their communities.

Assemblies were given to each of the primary schools from Merseyside Police, Sefton Council AntiSocial Behaviour Unit and Alder Hey Hospital.

Once the pupils returned to school to begin their Year 6 studies, they each designed and filmed a 90second video.

They also took part in activities including an activity day at Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre and the re-enactment of a crash involving a scrambler bike at Croxteth Community Fire Station.

Their videos will also be used in a publicity campaign in the Sefton area.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for communities said: “We are constantly amazed at our fabulous Sefton school pupils who have worked so hard on this project “We know scrambler bikes are a blight on our communities and through this initiative we want to make sure important messages about the risks and dangers of using them are learnt.

“It is also another great example of partnership working and engaging with our communities to make Sefton a safer place for everyone.”

Victoria Fellowes from Martin Mere said: “We know that children love nothing more than to splash about in puddles, so we thought we’d give them the chance to channel their inner splasher through our puddle jumping competition. It’s all a lot of fun and we know that children who love puddles often grow up to be adults that love the outdoors. So, through these championships, we’re gently nurturing a love that may help protect wetlands and the wildlife that depend on them for years to come.”

College is hailed by charity for supporting pupil communication THORNTON College has become the first in Merseyside to be given a special award by the national Makaton charity for their help in supporting pupil communication.

The specialist facility, which is run by Hugh Baird College, has been awarded ‘Makaton Friendly Status.’

The award is given to organisations that strive to make their services accessible to people who use Makaton to aid their communication.

Makaton is a language programme using signs and symbols to help people to communicate.

It is designed to support spoken language and the signs and symbols are used with speech, in spoken word order.

Thornton College is a specialist college dedicated to providing a caring and supportive environment for young people with learning difficulties and/or physical disabilities in the Liverpool City Region.

In 2016 the college recruited a speech and lan-

guage therapist, Betsy Vaudrey, who, has trained more than 80% of staff at the college in Makaton and has developed activities with the students and supported staff to run a Makaton Choir.

Betsy said: “We are extremely proud to have been awarded Makaton Friendly Status. Using Makaton with all of our students improves their social skills by enabling students of different abilities to communicate with each other.

“Makaton is used throughout the college, including on signage around the campus and student timetables. Staff regularly use the symbols within the classroom to support the development of literacy skills and promote independence.”

Christine Snape, director of Foundation Learning at Hugh Baird College, said: “Using Makaton opens up a world of possibility for our students and the feedback we have received from parents shows how it is making a real difference to their daily lives.”

Anniversary tour of Three stars from Blood Brothers reunite for show Hair The Musical headed for Empire THE UK tour of the legendary rock musical, Hair is coming to the Liverpool Empire.

Following the critically-acclaimed 50th anniversary production of Hair – The Musical at Hope Mill Theatre and sell-out transfer to The Vaults, London, the celebrated production will now embark on a nationwide tour.

This award-winning production (2018 Whats OnStage Award – Best Off-West End Production) plays the Liverpool Empire Theatre from May 20 – 25 2019.

Welcome to the ‘Age of Aquarius’. It’s 1967 and HAIR’s hippie ‘tribe’ youngsters in the East Village of New York are yearning to change the world, questioning authority and the American flag. Wild, colourful, sexually liberated and free, they are united in protest and song, under the shadow of the Vietnam War. Hair, which is adored for its Grammy awardwinning score featuring iconic hits such as Aquarius, Let the Sun Shine In, I Got Life and Good Morning Starshine is written by Gerome Ragni (book and lyrics), James Rado (book and lyrics) and Galt MacDermot (music).

The 50th anniversary production is directed

by Jonathan O’Boyle (Pippin, Rain Man, Aspects Of Love), who is reunited with the creative team from Hope Mill Theatre: Gareth Bretherton (musical director), William Whelton

Hair the musical is coming to the Liverpool Empire

(choreographer), Maeve Black (designer), Ben M Rogers (lighting designer), Calum Robinson (sound designer) and producers Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment, Joseph Houston & William Whelton for Hope Mill Theatre, Ollie Rosenblatt for Senbla, and associate producer Guy James.

The production has been cast by the previous BBC head of casting Jane Deitch.

Hit children’s musical can be seen at theatre

FOLLOWING two seasons of Shakespeare, Daniel Taylor Productions returns to The Epstein Theatre this spring with a production of Macbeth that reunites three stars of the international smash-hit musical Blood Brothers.

Following rave reviews for 2018’s productions of Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Daniel Taylor Productions is back at the Hanover Street venue with the Bard’s bloody tale from Thursday 7 – Saturday, March 16.

Producers are excited to announce Sean Jones and Warwick Evans will play Macbeth and King Duncan respectively, along with Daniel Taylor who will both produce and direct the production.

The three actors have all previously starred together in Willy Russell’s iconic musical Blood Brothers.

Sean Jones having played the role of Mickey for almost two decades in both the West End and touring production; Warwick Evans starred as the narrator in the original production on the West End as well as Toronto, Sydney and on Broadway; while Daniel Taylor has played the role of Sammy on both the West End and touring production.

Sean Jones trained at Clywd Youth Theatre. in Mold and Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

No stranger to Shakespeare, Sean makes a return to the Scottish play having previously played both Macduff and Banquo in a Japanese national tour.

With theatre in his blood, Warwick Evans was born to theatrical parents Howell Evans and Patricia Kane. He made his stage debut in 1961 with a very brief tag line in a sketch in Bridlington. He has since gone on to establish a successful career on stage and screen, including Miff Ferrie in Daniel Taylor Productions’ The Tommy Cooper Show and three periods of repertory theatre at Leicester’s Haymarket Theatre.

His tv credits include Strindberg's Easter, as brother to Felicity Kendal, for the BBC, and most recently as Jake Toniolini in Sky 1’s Stella.

Daniel Taylor

Daniel Taylor was born and lives in Liverpool and in 2016 he toured the UK, Ireland, Canada and the US in the title role of Lennon: Through A Glass Onion. His acting credits also include the role of Mickey in Alan Bleasdale’s 40th anniversary production of Down the Dock Road (Royal Court, Liverpool), as well as playing the title role in and producing The Tommy Cooper Show.

Set in the aftermath of a ruinous civil war in Scotland, this exciting new production of Macbeth explores the damaging psychological effects of war, betrayal and destructive political ambition by those who seek power for its own sake.

Daniel Taylor said: “Shakespeare’s most brilliant and bloody tale has been delighting audiences for more than 400 years.

“I’m thrilled to be working with such a talented cast and crew, many of whom are long-time stars of that other blockbuster of theatre, Blood Brothers.”

SDC putting on play about miners who took up art AniMalcolm The Musical is coming to the Atkinson

ANIMALCOLM The Musical, based on the bestselling children’s book by David Baddiel, will play at The Atkinson this Friday and Saturday, February 22-23 as part of a major UK tour and following a premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2018.

Malcolm doesn’t like animals, which is a problem because his family are wild about them.

In fact their house is full of pets of all shapes and sizes. The only bright spot on the horizon is the Year Six school trip, until there he is on the bus, heading to… a farm.

But on a school trip like no other, Malcolm begins to understand animals more deeply than anyone. Will he end up the same as before?

Because sometimes the hardest thing to become is yourself.

This is a vibrant, energetic and funny musical from the award-winning Story Pocket Theatre, AniMalcolm combines physical theatre, puppetry and the company’s storytelling style to bring David Baddiel’s comic story to the stage.

David Baddiel is an award-winning comedian, author, screenwriter, director and television presenter known for his work with Newman and Baddiel, Fantasy Football, Baddiel & Skinner Unplanned and his platinum number one single Three Lions.

David has written four children’s books which have now sold over one million copies, as well as four critically-acclaimed adult novels and the hit film The Infidel.

David’s latest stand-up show, My Family: Not the Sitcom, premiered at the Menier Chocolate Factory before going on to run for 15 weeks in the West End. David Baddiel said: “It has been such a thrill to see AniMalcolm brought to life on stage, and as a musical! Story Pocket have done a wonderful job with this adaptation, and it will be a real treat to see Malcolm adventuring around the UK with his menagerie of animals in tow.”

Story Pocket Theatre is a company devoted to bringing both classic and original children’s stories to the stage in a new way.

Previous productions include Michael Morpurgo’s King Arthur (Edinburgh Fringe and UK Tour) and A Pocketful of Grimms (Edinburgh Fringe and International Tour).

AniMalcolm is directed by Julia Black and Adam Fletcher-Forde with musical direction by David Perkins, set and costume design by Jacqueline Trousdale, lighting design by Declan Randall and movement direction by Shona Morris.

AniMalcolm is supported using public funding

by Arts Council England.

A scene from the rehearsals for The Pitmen Painters

Preview by Ron Ellis The Pitmen Painters The Little Theatre, Southport SOUTHPORT Dramatic Club’s latest production is The Pitmen Painters by Lee Hall, author of the acclaimed musical, Billy Elliot.

Set in Northumberland in the 1930’s and 1940’s against a background of poverty, depression, war and a Labour government, this is the story of a group of miners who joined an evening class to

learn about art and painting and over the next 10 years they produced some glorious works. Known as The Ashington Group, they took the British art world by storm while still retaining their jobs down the mine.

A play full of meaning about life, what it can offer and how everyone, whatever their station in life can be somebody special.

No less than seven men plus two ladies make up a stellar cast, which includes Mike Stowell and Gary Simpson, and the director is John Sharp.

The Pitmen Painters starts this Friday (February 22) and runs until Saturday, March 2. at 7.30pm each evening. Tickets can be booked from the Box Office Tel. 01704 530521/530460.

AS BIG motoring stories go, this was no damp squib. It’s still another couple of months before we finally get to see Land Rover’s new Defender – but the interior’s leaked!

A slew of shouty headlines from the motoring magazine websites said it all; NEW DEFENDER: INTERIOR LEAKED AHEAD OF UNVEILING, LEAKED: NEW LAND ROVER DEFENDER INTERIOR, and, perhaps most promisingly of all, 2020 DEFENDER INTERIOR LEAKED FULLY. As someone who spent most of his childhood in the back of old Land Rovers and still reckons a Series IIA isn’t really complete unless its cabin comes with a slighty musty, countryside-ish whiff, this was great news, because it meant someone at Solihull had really been paying close attention to what old Land Rover owners are used to. If the new Defender’s interior has leaked before it’s even been launched, it’s still a proper Land Rover!

Unfortunately, the story the motoring mags had, er, splashed with referred to a leak of the metaphorical rather than literal sort, and for legal reasons I’m obliged to point that there’s no indication that Solihull’s next mud-plugger will actually allow in the occasional dribble of rain-

water every time you take it off-roading. But, if the latest images are anything to go by, it looks like Jaguar Land Rover have spent a lot of time getting the mix of chunky, hard-wearing plastics and the details that are bang-up-to-date, like the neatly-integrated digital dash display, right. A copy-and-paste of the Discovery’s cabin it ain’t.

It's had to tread a very tricky tightrope with the new Defender – it is, after all, the direct descendant of 1948’s Series I, so it’s got to look, feel and sound like a Landie of the old school while simultaneously meeting all of today’s safety regulations, doing more than 25 to the gallon and comfortably sitting at seventy on the motorway.

I’ll happily accept that the farming set have all moved into Nissan Navaras and Mitsubishi L200s now, but the new Defender’s also got to hit it off with those vastly different swathes of people devoted to the old one – so that’s the British Army, Kanye West and the entire readership of Your Horse. Tough call.

But I’m keeping my fingers crossed, largely because JLR (which has just cut 4500 jobs) could use a lucky break, and because the precedent set by the Jaguar XJ nine years ago shows that it is possible to reinvent a British icon that everyone previously declared impossible to reinvent.

The new Defender won’t please absolutely everyone, but I’d rather that than there be no new Land Rover at all.

Whatever happens, it’ll still be devastatingly effective off-road and bang up to date.

Probably better built than the old one, too.

Although if the interior leaks, at least you’ll know why…

Italy’s answer to the Ford Focus FIAT’S TIPO – Italy’s answer to the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra – is now being offered with a new trim level.

The new Street version of the five-door hatchback,

available with the company’s 1.4-litre petrol engine, is fitted with black 16-inch alloy wheels, which are teamed up with similarly-coloured door handles,

mirrors and other bodywork trim, and tinted rear windows.

It’s available to order now, with prices starting at £15,050.

Reynolds leaves Bucks to join rivals Remyca BOOTLE return to action this weekend as they travel to East Lancashire to take on Padiham on Saturday, writes Connor O’Neill.

The Bucks were without a game last weekend and come into this clash eight points behind current league leaders City of Liverpool - and Joe Doran’s side have a game in hand on the Purps, too.

Doran’s side, however, will be without Joel Powell, who has left the club to join local rivals Litherland Remyca.

The defender becomes the third player to depart the Bucks to join up with former boss Phil Stafford - following Jamie Colebourn and Michael Ordish - and Powell made his debut in his new sides 2-0 win over Silsden at the weekend.

Padiham, meanwhile, come into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw with Irlam - a

game which was watched by Bucks boss Doran.

While the Bucks overcame Winsford United in their last league game two weeks ago.

Ryan Cox put Doran's side ahead just before the halftime interval, before Dave Short pounced on a Jack McGovern mistake to draw the hosts level 12 minutes into the second-half.

But with 17 minutes remaining, the Bucks claimed all three points, and as a result, collected their tenth straight league win.

Ste Jones swung in a corner from the right, before man of the match Ben Cartwright rose highest inside a crowded box to head the ball home.

And the Storks could come up against a new face in the Bucks squad, as the Champion understands Doran is working hard to add a new addition in time for this weekend’s game.

Stand-in skipper Quirk is spot on for Remyca Silsden 0 Litherland Remyca 2 REMYCA travelled to Yorkshire to face a difficult encounter with a strong Silsden outfit and came away with all three points in what was an excellent performance.

Due to blank fixture lists and postponements, Remyca hadn’t played competitively for three weeks.

With debuts for new signings Joel Powell and James Britt, the visitors went about taking the game to the opposition in determined fashion but by half time the match remained goalless.

The second half started with Remyca in the ascendancy looking to

get the ball down and play good passing football.

With a good work rate and not allowing Silsden to settle, Remyca made the breakthrough on 73 minutes when captain for the day Colin Quirk scored with a close range shot.

Remyca introduced Colin McDonald with12 minutes to play and his physical presence began to trouble the home team back line. On 88 minutes he was brought down for a penalty duly converted by Quirk.

All in all this was a disciplined, determined performance and Remyca move closer to the 40 point mark and premier league consolidation which was a season target.

Steve Irwin scores the only goal of game for Marine. Picture by Susan Nugent

Irwin fires Marine to a hard fought victory Hednesford Town 0 Marine 1 MARINE extended their 2019 unbeaten league run and climbed to 14th place in the table with a hard fought win over Hednesford Town.

The Pitmen created a number of good chances, particularly in the second half but came up against an inspired Joe Hilton in the Marine goal, the Everton loanee producing a fine display to keep another clean sheet.

James Murray had a good chance to open the scoring for the visitors inside the opening five minutes, but dragged his shot wide of Kieran Preston’s far post.

Reece King had a couple of headers off target for the home side before there was a lengthy break in

play, Steve Irwin receiving treatment for a nasty gash above his eye.

Hilton was soon in action with a smart save down to his right to keep out a shot from Jud Ellis, the resultant corner being smuggled off the line by a combination of Kenny Strickland’s bonce and the crossbar.

Marine went ahead with a well worked goal just before the half hour.

Craig Carney’s cross into the penalty area being held by Nial Cummins before the big striker produced a delightful back heel for Irwin to fire home inside the near post without breaking stride.

The Mariners had strong penalty claims waived away after Murray got goalside of Ben Bailey, the defender appearing to take his man first before the faintest of touches

on the ball.

Kieran Wells had Town's best chance of the half when latching onto a through ball, but Hilton stood firm and diverted the striker's effort against the post.

Hilton made several more top class saves to deny Wells, Javan Vidal and King as the hosts pressed, Marine's chances falling to Irwin with a shot over the top and Carney who had a late effort blocked.

The Mariners lost Cummins to an ankle injury leading to the mercurial front man leaving the field on a stretcher.

But his team mates saw out time to record their third straight win and seventh in nine games to move to 14th in the table.

Marine return to the Marine Travel Arena this Saturday when they take on Workington.

Waterloo fight back to edge thriller Warrington 28 Firwood Waterloo 30 FIRWOOD Waterloo edged a thrilling clash with Warrington to come away with victory last Saturday.

The local side started on the back-foot with Warrington carrying out a swift attack in the opening minutes to put them deep into Waterloo territory and Tom Arnold pounced in the corner to score.

Darren Norman converted from the touchline.

Darren Norman then slotted over two excellent penalties to extend his team’s lead but Waterloo hit back when they won a line-out and flashed the ball across the line to score in the corner.

Warrington soon replied with another

well-struck Norman penalty but, again, Waterloo came back when their heavyweight pack showed their mastery of the pick-and-go to drive over close to the posts and allow an easy conversion.

Just before half time, Warrington scored their best-constructed try of the game through player/coach Andy Roberts.

Darren Norman’s boot ensured that the sides turned round with Warrington 23-12 ahead.

The lead was soon reduced when Waterloo kicked a penalty and then a break-away saw them further sneak to just two points off Warrington when they scored a converted try under the posts.

15 minutes later, Waterloo went ahead

for the first time courtesy of a penalty before Warrington retook the lead when good running from the forwards, spearheaded by Chris White, made space for Jamie Thompson.

The classy centre made a telling break before putting in a delicate chip kick, which was picked up by Nathan Beasley who scooted over and touched down between the sticks.

Thankfully for Waterloo, Darren Norman was wide with what was his easiest attempt of the game.

With ten minutes to go, Waterloo came back when the sweetest of inside passes from their talented scrum half allowed their prop to thunder over under the post.

They made no mistake with the conversion to take a winning lead.
