A POLICE operation to target scrambler bikes has been a success with fewer reports of nuisance behaviour by youngsters on off-road motorbikes.

But officers fear there could be an upstage during the school summer holidays.

As part of Operation Brookdale, more than 300 bikes have been seized this year many of which have been found to be stolen and have been reunited with their owners.”

Chief Inspector Gary O’Rourke, who leads the operation, said: “Reports of the anti-social and nuisance use of off-road motorbikes have decreased significantly this year, which is extremely encouraging for us and our communities, some of whom have been blighted by the issue.

“However, we know the problem has not gone away and could rise again during the school summer holidays.

“But we are determined to drive down these numbers even more, until the prob-

He added: “Key to all of the good results we see is information from the public.

“Our best chance of removing this threat is always to know where bikes are being stored before they get out on the streets.

“If you know where bikes are being stored, either in homes, storage units or elsewhere, please come forward and we will act on all information provided.”

Community rallies to help family after devastating blaze From Page 1.

“It’s so upsetting. We didn’t have insurance so I don’t know what we are going to do.

“We have already spent more than £1,000 just on skips to help get all the rubble out of the house.”

The family have been given support from locals, however, and after reports of the fire was posted on social media, local builders have been getting in touch to offer their services.

A property restoration firm, called The Forshaw Group, have already offered their help, and are urging other local companies to help.

Part of main road to be closed for maintenance work PART of a main road in Litherland will be temporarily closed for over two weeks to undergo essential carriageway maintenance works.

A stretch of the Sterrix Lane carriageway, between Gorsey Lane and Boundary Road, will be temporarily closed for two weeks from Wednesday, July 25.

Access will be maintained for residents and emergency vehicles at all times.

Residents are being asked by Sefton Council to make adequate alternative provisions for deliveries, as site health and safety rules will only allow access when it is safe to do so.

The works will be signposted accordingly and a signed diversion route will be in place for the duration of the works to minimise any disruption.

Children’s nursery to close due to cash crisis ‘It was a heartbreaking decision and families of youngsters with additional needs will be devastated’ Report by Tom Martin A CHILDREN’S nursery in Seaforth is set to close due to a cash crisis with the headteacher revealing the “heartbreaking” decision to pupils and parents.

Sand Dunes Nursery School, which was formed in the 1940s to look after youngsters from two to five years old, could close its classrooms for a final time in July 2019.

Headteacher Hayley Stoba believes it will be devastating for the community, as the nursery is unlike most others as it caters for children with additional needs and those from social care.

She said: “For several years now we have been struggling to retain a balanced budget but I feel it is of utmost importance that people are aware of the effect that Sand Dunes not being a part of this vulnerable community is going to have.

“Most children who attend Sand Dunes are vulnerable and have external involvement either from Social Care or SENIS (Sefton Council's team to support children with special educational needs).

“Sand Dunes has a newly refurbished purpose built premises which means that providing for children with additional needs is a lot easier.

“Removing this type of service from the community will be such a loss.

“Despite looking at reducing costs throughout the nursery, the challenges facing us are just too much.

“We cannot set a sustainable budget which means Sand Dunes will no longer be financially viable in future.

“Very reluctantly the Governing body have had to inform Sefton Council that we will have to start the formal process of consulting on the proposed closure of the nursery school in July, 2019.”

Sand Dunes Nursery School.

Ms Stoba also told the Champion how it has affected the staff, pupils and their families.

She added: “This has been totally devastating for everyone involved and it is heartbreaking for the whole nursery community.

“The welfare of our pupils, their families and staff will be our main priority during this difficult time.

“Sand Dunes Nursery School is well-established within the area and has been part of the immediate community for over 80 years.

“Sand Dunes provides a very strong support network for all our families, not only providing high quality education and care for children in the critical early stages of their development but supporting parents in numerous ways which

include educational advice, support and general guidance which our families need and rely upon.

“All our staff are fully trained, often beyond the requirements for their role and they have an abundance of Early Years expertise, longevity of service and experience.”

Sand Dunes Nursery School relocated to its current location, on Caradoc Road, in 2008 after they saw the need to expand.

They are currently based in the same building as Seaforth Children's Centre, which is not affected by this closure.

It comes in the same week that Streatham Schools in Blundellsands closed for the final time.

The independent school closed this month after 93 years due to falling pupil numbers.

music, entertainment and a raffle with some of the prizes being Liverpool and Everton memorabilia and VIP airport lounge vouchers.

The family fun day is free, but the evening event costs £10 per person and tickets can be bought by contacting 07866 946 124.

The date of July 28 is significant for the family, as it's the same weekend of the fifth anniversary since Jon passed away.

Jon's mum, Lin Coward, said: “It's been five years since Jon passed away and this entire day is in his memory.

“We want to raise as much money as possible for two amazing charities.

“The first is Winston's Wish, which sup-

ports bereaved children, and the second is Starlight Children's Foundation, which helps seriously and terminally ill children.

“We still have a few tickets left for the evening event, so if anyone is interested get in touch.”

Jon was a former pupil of St Michael’s High School, and had just completed his first year studying quantity surveying at Liverpool John Moores University.

Just days before his death, he was awarded a Liverpool JMU prize, sponsored by construction company Lovell, for one of his projects.

He had been working as a barman at Blues Bar, Crosby village, to help fund his studying before he died.

More than 70 wanted suspected criminals arrested in one day MORE than 70 wanted suspects were arrested in one day after Merseyside Police launched ‘Operation Hunted’ which is aimed at reducing the number of suspected criminals wanted by officers.

This include those who may have been involved in serious crimes, are linked evidentially to live investigations, or have breached the terms of their release from prison.

In only one day, officers arrested 70 people across Merseyside for a variety of offences.

Chief Superintendent Rob Carden, who is coordinating the force-wide operation, said: “This is a fantastic result. I want to assure the public that this is not a one-off and that the good work will continue in the coming weeks and months to find outstanding offenders and bring them into custody.

“Our most wanted individuals will also be puton our website and social media under the hashtag #OpHunted and I would encourage

people to take a look and share information with us so that we can put as many people as possible behind bars."

The ongoing operation will involve local police officers and PCSOs, detectives, Roads Policing units, specialist search teams, the Cannabis Dismantling Team and Matrix officers.

Chief Superintendent Carden added: "We are taking a co-ordinated force-wide approach, involving officers at all levels, to seek out those who are wanted by police. Local policing teams are working closely with detectives to identify and locate people connected to crimes.

“We never stop looking for people wanted for criminal offences and are maintaining the pressure on people who know they are wanted, but have yet to do the right thing and come forward.

“The next three weeks will see a huge push in locating these wanted individuals, and with the help of the public will ultimately make our communities safer.”

Plan to turn former pub into takeaway rejected

The current barriers on Edgemoor Drive.

Rat run road set to be blocked off permanently Council say consultation showed most residents in favour of retaining closure Report by Tom Martin A RAT run in Thornton will be permanently blocked off at one end following a trial period by Sefton Council.

There will be no entry to Edgemoor Drive for motorists at its junction with Moor Lane, in a decision which is bound to split opinion among both drivers and local residents.

The decision follows a consultation with residents and a temporary closure was implemented in January to see how it would pan out.

During the trial blockage, locals were divided on whether it resulted in a better

flow of traffic on the busy Moor Lane.

Residents who lived in the Thornton estate were also split, as some welcomed quieter roads but others claimed it took longer to travel towards Crosby without access onto Moor Lane.

Sefton Council has published a report on its website detailing the decision to opt for a permanent block at the junction.

They say the main reason for making the move permanent is due to a majority of residents being in favour of the plan following the consultation.

The report states: “The results of that consultation show that a majority of respondents are in favour of retaining the closure and traffic monitoring has shown that there has been a balance of positive and negative impacts on local traffic.

“Respondents to the consultation cited that they had experienced improvements in safety, reductions in speeding,

improved road safety, reduced air pollution and reduced noise pollution, during the trial closure.

The traffic monitoring confirmed that there had been a marked reduction in the amount of traffic entering and exiting the estate as a whole.

“The further work needed to address the implications and impact of the prohibition of driving at the junction of Edgemoor Drive and Moor Lane will be the subject of future briefings to Cabinet Member Locality Services and updates for the public via the council's website.

“Extensive consideration which involved a great deal of detailed discussion and deliberation by cabinet members, ward councillors and officers was given to reopening the road to through traffic but it was considered detrimental to those living in the Thornton estate and not in line with the results of the monitoring and consultation.”

PLANS to transform a closed down pub in Seaforth into a takeaway has been rejected by Sefton Council – because they say there are already too many in the area.

As reported in the Champion last month, the former Seaforth Castle had been targeted by a developer who wanted to change part of the derelict building into a new food business, but last week it was dismissed by Sefton Council.

A report published by the local authority states: “It is considered that the proposed hot food takeaway would create an unacceptable grouping of similar uses and cause significant harm to the living conditions of the dozens of neighbouring properties which adjoin and face the site.”

The planning application also received objections from local residents, who claimed it would lead to an increase in litter and antisocial behaviour in the area.

The closed-down Seaforth Castle, which is on Seaforth Road, briefly re-opened in November 2008 after

The following summer it was firebombed and extensive damage was caused to the inside of the property.

In 2012 there was another largescale fire at the building with police believing it was targeted by arsonists.

Conmen pretending to be British Gas workers stole £4,000 from elderly couple Report by Tom Martin AN elderly couple from Bootle were left devastated after bogus workmen tricked their way into their home and stole £4,000.

The couple who are in their 80s, were duped by a gang of four men when one distracted them as the other three ransacked the upstairs of the house and stole a safe which contained the cash.

They managed to get into the home, on Thackeray Gardens, by claiming they were from British Gas and needed to check their gas supply.

The couple's son, Jim Reardon, said: “A man on his own has knocked on the door and my mum answered. He claimed to be from British Gas and said the road was going to be dug up, so he needed to check their gas.

“My mum let him in and they went to the back of the house to get my dad, who was in the back garden.

“As they've gone in he left the door slightly open so three of his mates could get in. He then distracted my mum and dad by talking as they searched upstairs for whatever they could find.

“He kept looking back towards the front door and as soon as he saw his mates had left he shut up and just said ‘that’s all you need to know - I need to go’ and basically ran out the house.

“My dad got a bit suspicious and watched the men walk to the end of the road. I’m not sure if they then got into a vehicle but we think they were in a white van.

“My dad then went upstairs and realised what had

happened. He had been saving up the money for a long time and wanted to use it to pay for his funeral.

“They are both devastated and don't want this to happen to anyone else.

“Hopefully by reading this other elderly people in the area can be more careful and won’t let strangers into their homes.”

The theft happened at around 2pm on Wednesday, July 18 and police are asking anyone with information to come forward to help their investigation.

Detective Constable Adam Dagnall said: “We have forensically examined the house and continue to conduct CCTV and other enquiries in the area but would appeal to anyone who may have any information about this incident, to get in contact.

“I believe someone knows who is responsible for these offences and I would urge you to contact us, even anonymously.”

One of the offenders is described as white, around 35-40 years and around 5ft 8in tall. He had dark short hair and was wearing an orange hi-vis vest over a dark blue jacket and blue trainers. The other two men are not described, other than one being of stocky build.

Anyone with any information about this incident is asked to contact @MerPolCC, 101 or @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111.

It comes only a week after the Champion printed a warning to residents after a spate of incidents in south Sefton with workers trying to con elderly people. The Champion reported last week how a man in his 70s from Litherland was tricked into giving bogus workmen money after they claimed to have done work to his home.

Warning over town’s ‘evil air rifle cat killer’

Ten pets killed or injured in same area of Maghull Report by Henry James CAT owners in Maghull are being warned after several pets have been injured and even killed after being shot with an air rifle.

It is understood more than 10 cats have been targeted in the area round Windermere Drive, Patterdale Crescent and the Penrith Drive.

Cat owner Jennifer Da Costa told the Champion she discovered the beloved family pet Mo had been shot as she was leaving the house to take her children to school on Tuesday, July 17.

The one year old cat, named Mo after Liverpool striker Mo Salah, had been shot in the face.

When she took him to the vets the Xrays found the pellet had shot through his face fractured two teeth and was embedded under his tongue.

“They managed to remove it and he is currently taking antibiotics and on pain relief.”

Ms de Costa added: “Our lovely cat has been severely hurt. He was shot Mo was shot in the face with an air rifle. in the face by an air-riffle causing a cats have died.” lot of damage and pain.

She urged people to report all incid“After speaking to the neighbours, we ents to the police and the RSPCA. have heard that this has also happened She added: “If your cat appears in to their cats and unfortunately their pain it could be because of this evil

person with an air rifle.

“The pellet in my cat could not be felt and it was only the X-ray that showed all the damage and the pellet.

“So please be extra careful letting your cats play out. My cat uses his cat litter everyday and only goes to explore in close surrounding gardens.

“We can’t understand how anyone can be so cruel.

“Myself, my husband and young children are absolutely devastated about what has happened.

“I would like to thank all the lovely people in this community for all their kind words on social media It has been very comforting.”

Another resident John Johnson added: “Cats have been killed, lost or mortally wounded. How can someone get away with something like this.

“Our next door neighbours have lost cats because of this.”

The RSPCA are investigating the incident and a spokesperson said they are calling for tighter controls on air weapons.

She added: “Unfortunately, air rifle attacks are not as rare as we would like. These weapons cause horrific pain and suffering and it is illegal.

“Anyone caught deliberately using an air gun to injure an animal can be up to six months in prison and/or an unlimited fine if found guilty under the Animal Welfare Act.”

Young ballet stars shine at special performance

The Netherton pub.

Big revamp on the way for popular pub Report by Tom Martin THE Netherton pub has closed for a few weeks as it gets transformed in a six-figure revamp.

The popular drinking venue, on Church Road, will be given a huge makeover to give it a fresh look – and create ten new jobs in the process.

The Netherton, which is operated

by Hungry Horse, closed on Monday, July 23 and the work will centre around the bar area and the creation of “extensive sports viewing” when it reopens on Wednesday, August 8.

Undergoing a complete refurbishment, the bar area will benefit from the addition of contemporary tiling and a modern finish.

The sports viewing area will also be enhanced, with high quality sound systems from multiple screens throughout the pub to ensure guests can enjoy every key

moment.

The beer garden will also be extended with additional seating and the introduction of outdoor lighting.

Gary Butcher, co-general manager at the Netherton Hungry Horse, said: “The Netherton Hungry Horse is at the heart of the local community, so we want to provide our guests with even better surroundings to enjoy a great selection of drinks and schedule of sporting events throughout the year.”

Co-general manager Maria MartinButcher added: “We’re really excited to get the refurbishment underway, and look forward to welcoming our Litherland neighbours to the revamped venue.

“The weekend is also set to be big, with a series of events to celebrate the opening.

“A launch party with live music will take place on Friday, August 10, where we’d like to invite everyone to come and celebrate with us!”

LITTLE ballet stars have put on their first ‘show’ aged just three!

The team from Babyballet's Southport, Formby and Crosby groups held their Starmakers show on Sunday, July 8 at Banks Leisure Centre.

More than 100 tots with an average age of three years old wowed the audience with a pantomime style performance including characters Twinkle and Teddy the adorable bears, Flutterstar the fairy, Chuck the cowboy and Grandad Jack the King of the Castle in the Sky. The sale of programmes at the show raised £150, which will be donated to two of our their own babyballet dancers Sienna and Noah Woods who both have cystic fibrosis.

Missed call scam could cost mobile phone users Farm worker was charged at premium rate for overseas numbers when he tried to find out who had been calling Report by Kenny Parker A FARM worker who lives in the area is warning mobile phone users of a scam that could land them with a hefty bill after he was charged more than £4 per minute for contacting a missed caller.

Richard Rimmer from Scarisbrick says he received 69 missed calls over a two day period and when he tried to phone two of the numbers back to find out who they were he was charged premium rate.

One of the numbers with a +24 prefix (code for Seychelles) was charged at £1.66 per minute and the other number which had a +88 prefix (code for Taiwan) was charged at £4.16 per minute.

Mr Rimmer was charged £28 by his provider EE for the brief calls he made. Thankfully after being contacted by the Champion, EE has said they will refund him the money.

Richard, 44, said that when he called the numbers back he heard a recorded message in one case and the voice of a woman laughing in the other.

He believed the scammers tried to keep him on the phone for as long as possible.

“Even though I am blocking the numbers on my phone, they can still get through,” he said, “Because when you block one number they start ringing on another similar number with just a digit or two different.

“The phone calls have been at midnight and 3am, right through the whole day. It’s unbelievable!

“Other people need to know about it so that they are not going through what I am going through.”

It is believed that Richard was the victim of a scam known as wangiri, which originated in Japan.

Scammers hang up after just one or two rings.

When people call back they are routed to a premium rate phone number.

Wangiri is Japanese for ‘one [ring] and cut.’

Scammers rely on mobile phone users naturally ringing callers back when they receive a missed call and lines are then unsuspectingly transferred to a premium rate line.

Fraudsters are said to operate on an industrial scale, using automated dialling machines to work through huge ranges of phone numbers, calling thousands every minute.

A spokesperson for EE said: “We have refunded Mr Rimmer the full £28 charge incurred, and we ask that customers contact their operator and Action Fraud if they think they have been victims of fraud.

“We actively block all numbers we believe to be involved in this type of fraud, and block new numbers as soon as we’re aware of them.

“We also urge everyone to be cautious when calling back unknown callers, especially from the 0843 and 0845 number ranges.”

Advice to avoid being scammed by a wangiri fraudster is not to answer a call from an overseas number unless you know who it is from; don't call back a missed call from overseas number; inform your mobile operator of any suspicious looking overseas numbers you miss calls from; and use an app that filters out unwanted calls and text messages.

Micropub donates £1,000 to heart charity in memory of customer STAFF and regulars at a Crosby micropub have pulled together to make a £1,000 donation to the Heart Foundation.

The locals from The Corner Post were inspired to raise funds after a loyal customer passed away in December last year following a heart attack he suffered while at the venue.

They all clubbed together to help raise the amount, which was presented to a representative of the charity on Thursday, July 5.

Not only that, but the micropub has also managed to buy a defibrillator which has been placed outside the building, in case there is a medical emergency in the area.

A donation box was placed inside The Corner Post and an online fundraising page was also set-up by owner Geoff Smeaton which saw donations pour in from locals.

I was wrong to drop cigarette on ground but fine was too much

Merseytravel don’t listen to passengers over bus times

I work in Bootle, and I'm not slagging off the place but there’s a few shady characters that hang around the Strand shopping centre.

I went outside the other day to take a five minute break due to the current hot weather.

I had a cigarette, and yes I put it out with my foot.

I know I should have disposed of it elsewhere but does that really warrant being read your rights by some jobsworth who works for Sefton Council?

Seriously, he had literally been waiting to pounce.

He actually read me my rights!

The fine was £75, £50 if I paid it within 10 days.

If I didn't pay it would be a £2,000 fine and court appearance with criminal record.

Really?

I read an article in your paper stating that Merseytravel take on board passenger views.

This is something I totally disagree with.

For some time now the 300 and 310 bus route timetable have them arriving in Maghull within minutes of each other.

When I am on my daily walk I often see them at the same bus stop at the same time or one leaving the stop as the other is arriving.

The bus runs every half hour is probably for economic reasons.

I do not understand why they both run on the same timeline and cannot have them running with separation in time of 15 minutes between the two routes.

For example the 300 runs on the hour

I offered to pick my cigarette butt up but I was told I had to pay the fine.

The person who collared me kept going on about cleanliness but he wouldn't let me pick it up and he never picked it up he just wanted to fine me.

Ok I agree littering is not on but seriously, did he really need to read me my rights?

I felt like I was being arrested while yobs on scrambler bikes are given a free reign and nothing happens to them.

They are left to wreak havoc.

Come on Sefton Council, maybe a verbal warning would have sufficed.

Name supplied, By email

and half hour whilst the 310 runs on the quarter past and quarter to the hour.

Recently Merseytravel have changed their circular routes which now means it arrives within a few minutes of the other two.

There may well be five buses arriving in Maghull per hour but passengers only have the two narrow time limits to get the buses per hour.

If you miss them you need to wait nearly half an hour till the next bus comes.

Royal British Legion need volunteers for Poppy Appeal campaign

Royal British Legion, Manchester

The Royal British Legion is urging the great British public to join forces with them this winter and volunteer for the charity ’s annual Poppy Appeal campaign.

In the year that marks 100 years since the end of the First World War, the Legion is calling on local people across Merseyside to show their support for our Armed Forces – past and present – by dedicating their spare time to distribute poppies for donations.

The Legion needs over 100 volunteers for this year’s Appeal in a wide range of areas in Merseyside to help the charity continue providing year-round practical help and advice to the Armed Forces community.

The money raised helps the Legion to support Serving personnel, veterans and their dependants in a variety of ways such as helping them to manage their debts, funding specialist equipment to aid veterans injured in conflict and sending Forces families on much-needed holidays at Poppy Break Centres.

Volunteers do not need to have a military and any age can volunteer for the Legion, although if you’re under the age of 16, you’ll need to be accompanied by an adult.

There are a variety of roles available.

To find out more, contact Community Fundraiser Alison on 07779 312316 or email amowlem@britishlegion.org.uk

Housing associations won’t help Some dog owners are so you deal with bad neighbours selfish and inconsiderate

Trying to have a decent neighbourhood is very hard when you have a bad neighbour in it who has no consideration for anyone but himself the authorities are useless when you ask them for help.

Dog wardens promise everything deliver nothing.

Councillors are too busy sipping tea and getting there pictures in papers like this one instead of doing their job.

Housing associations fob you off at every turn.

You can run any business you like from one of there properties and do what you like it seems as long as you pay the rent and sod

everyone else. You hit a brick wall with all of them no matter how much you or your other neighbours complain.

Look at their websites and they promise to try and make communities happy places to live in.

What a joke.

None of them are interested in anyone but themselves.

Anyone else come up against this brick wall like I and my neighbours have?

Furious, Seaforth,

Why are some dog owners so selfish and inconsiderate?

Some dogs bark non-stop when left in a garden to annoy everyone.

But even worse is living near them. How stupid to teach a dog to howl so it howls and barks when left alone in the house (which is often).

Then when somebody goes to the door it stands there barking non-stop.

This is so very ignorant.

It’s the same when you go for a walk and dogs off their leads run at you.

The owners say: “It’s alright, they are only

being friendly.”

How do we know that? We are not all dog lovers. Just stop and think for a change.

There is a simple answer, just train and discipline them.

There’s no need for dogs to bark all the time.

True dog lovers have them under control.

As for the rest, half the time these dogs are just an accessory and the owners can’t even be bothered to walk them.

Healthcare cash provider granted freedom of city

LIVERPOOL cash plan provider Medicash has been awarded the Freedom of the City.

The civic honour is the highest nomination that can be bestowed to an organisation that has rendered significant and valuable service to Liverpool and its citizens.

Medicash has a history dating back to 1871 when it helped fund local voluntary hospitals before later evolving as the Penny in the Pound Fund, which many Liverpool people remember today.

The decision was made at an Extraordinary Council Meeting held in the Town Hall, where it was unanimously agreed that Medicash should receive the award in recognition of its longstanding commitment to charitable giving and contribution to healthcare.

Medicash chief executive Sue Weir said: “We are all absolutely thrilled and delighted with this recognition.

“It is a tremendous honour for us and reflects the hard work and important contributions of current and former Medicash staff.

“It is also testament to the invaluable work done by all those involved with the projects and organisations we have supported over the last 147 years.”

All new homes in Sefton to be fitted with electric car charging points

By Danielle Thompson NEW houses across Sefton will all have electric vehicle charging points as standard in the future.

Sefton Council has approved a requirement, contained in the New Housing Supplementary Planning Document, which means that all new housing developments with dedicated parking will have to provide at least one electric vehicle charging point.

Homeless man made threat to kill horses at sanctuary ‘in act of desperation’

Shoppers back bid to regulate pharmacutical companies SHOPPERS at Sefton Community Market in Crosby were invited to mark the 70th birthday of the NHS by supporting a campaign to regulate pharmaceutical companies.

Campaigners said more than 100 people signed the Global Justice Now petition which will be sent to business minister Greg Clark MP calling for “all publicly funded medical research and development to be transparent and for medicines developed from public research to be accessible and affordable.”

By our Court Reporter A MAN has appeared in court for threatening to kill horses at Thornton’s Shy Lowen Horse and Pony Sanctuary.

Jim Evans, 20, of St Catherines Road, Bootle, had previously volunteered at the equine rescue centre and had been helped by the founder Bernadette Langfield.

He contacted her to ask if he could stay at the stables when he had no where to stay.

He made the threats to kill the horses when he was told he couldn’t stay.

Evans appeared at Liverpool Complex Case Court on July 18 for sentencing after previously pleading guilty on the day of a trial to sending a communication conveying a threatening message.

Among the messages received through telephone and Facebook was the statement: “The horses are getting killed tomorrow and I do not give a s**t.”

Alison Clarkson, prosecuting, read Ms Langfield’s victim impact statement which told of how she had been deeply upset at the threats and devastated that someone she had tried to help would target her in such a way.

She said that Evans knows how important the horses are to her.

“He used that knowledge to cause me to fear him and to try and control me,” she said. “I did not sleep well and even went to check on the horses during the night. I was worried that I would get a call during the night by emergency services because he had carried out his threats.”

Ms Langfield said that she sincerely hoped Evans could sort out his issues. “He was once a lovely person, he could have accomplished much in his life. It makes me feel that I’ve failed him,” she said.

Solicitor Danielle Gibbons said Evans went into custody for 12 weeks the day after he made the threats. The court heard he had previously been given a suspended prison sentence.

“The defendant is deeply remorseful about his actions,” she said, “The offence occurred during a difficult time when he was effectively homeless.

“It was out of desperation he contacted the complainant for somewhere to stay. He wanted to stay at the stables.

“She refused and quite stupidly he made the threats. Those threats did not materialise. He had no intention of doing any harm to her property.”

She added that while Evans had amassed a “fair few” convictions she said they were all committed when he was intoxicated. She said there were mental health issues that had never been addressed.

Sentencing him to 14 weeks custody, suspended for 18 months, District Judge Richard Clancy said: “This is an extremely serious matter. Basically you were biting the hand that fed you. It is accepted that you did not intend to carry your threat but you clearly caused distress.

“You did it really out of spite and meanness because you could not stay at the stable block.”

The judge ordered that Evans undertake ten days of rehabilitative activity, pay £265 in costs and victim surcharge, and stay away from both the horse sanctuary owner and sanctuary for 12 months.

Heatwave could lead to parts of canal being closed PART of the Leeds and Liverpool canal could close for a month unless there is significant rainfall.

The Canal and River Trust will close locks along a 55-mile section of the canal from July 30 amid water supply concerns.

The closure will prevent boats travelling from Wigan, through Lancashire, and up to Gargrave, near Skipton.

The trust said the closure is likely to last throughout August.

Trust spokesman Daniel Green-

halgh said it had been “a difficult decision” to close the canal, and that it had been working with boating businesses to offer alternative routes.

T o help conserve water the Canal and River Trust advise boaters to

share locks where possible and make the best use of the water available; ensure paddles are fully closed once passed through a lock; and aim for minimal contact when navigating through locks by ensuring gates are fully open as you pass through.

Coal tar soap without the real thing just doesn’t wash with me FINGS ain’t wot they used to be.

The catch phrase from a now very old pop song of the late 1950s.

And the same applies now as I realised when I came to take a bath this morning.

For year’s I have used Wright’s Coal Tar Soap my bathtime ablutions - I like the coal tar smell - it almost oozes disinfectant in a pleasant, homely sort of way.

It is long lasting and, I thought, tried and tested over generations.

So I was delighted to be able to buy four tablets of the soap for the price of three, the orange, red and white wrapper and the familiar trade mark taking me back to my childhood.

Imagine my disappointment when for no particular reason I took a closer look at this wrapping - and found that the wording now says: ‘Traditional Soap with coal tar fragrance.’

I’m not certain what this exactly used to say, but I’m pretty sure it used actually claim to be ‘Coal Tar Soap.’

The blurb on the back of the packing told me that: ‘Wright’s Traditional Soap has been a family favourite for over 130 years’ and ‘has retained its natural appeal’.

Well, to be fair I wouldn’t argue with that - apart from the far less strong aroma of coal tar emanating from it once one has been alerted to have a sniff.

But once you read the (now compulsory) list of ingredients, of ‘coal tar’ there is no mention so I suppose the smell is in fact totally fake.

Now I probably will continue to buy Wright's Traditional soap if only because I still like the (now residual) smell and it is long lasting.

But this is, I fear, just another ‘not what it used to be’ item only discovered because of modern trading standards and ‘elf and safety regulations.

Apart from coal tar soap I have always been a sucker for chocolate peppermint creams, particularly those with dark, as opposed to milk, chocolate.

Now there is a plethora of such chocks on sale but here the old maxim ‘you get what you pay for’ is most certainly true.

You can buy chocolate peppermint creams very cheaply - but beware!

Those ‘bargain’ peppermints often contain absolutely no peppermint whatever - just 'peppermint flavouring’ (Exxx).

Now I realised that long ago and now splash out on more expensive brands (you even get chocolate with a recognisable amount of cocoa in it).

This ‘ersatz’ approach extends to almost anything - from ‘leather ’ belts and watch straps (which may not contain any dead cow at all) to your 'real' Omega watch for £20, waterproof to at least a splash from the washing up bowl.

Tell you what though. One place where things are very much what they used to be in the House of Commons.

I’ve not mentioned Brexit much recently, not least because the situation seems to change every day and probably only just over half the population agree with my views on the matter.

We appear to have a Prime Minister who is now hell bent on a ‘pragmatic’ solution to our exit deal.

In her two ‘set piece’ speeches on Brexit, Mrs May appeared to be keeping all her balls in the air - now she seems to have lost them.

And if you believe as I do that the quicker we shake the mud from the European Union quagmire the better, this is catastrophic.

But since her antics don’t seem to have pleased the Remainers either, perhaps I should point out the disastrous, almost fatal for Great Britain, results of the last great appeasement - because this country is within an ace of becoming a vassal state of the EU and losing a golden chance of a great new age where we can all be proud of our heritage and our future.

Rail users urged to avoid Euston RAIL users are being urged to avoid travelling to Euston for three weekends this summer.

As part of Britain’s Railway Upgrade Plan, Network Rail is replacing North Wembley junction - a major intersection on Europe’s busiest mixed-use railway. The junction is old and replacing it will mean passenger and freight users will benefit from better, more reliable journeys in future.

Unfortunately doing this vital job requires shutting the line. The least disruptive time to do this work, jointly agreed by rail industry partners, is over the following three weekends: August 18-19; August 25-27 (the bank holiday weekend) and September 1 and 2.

The Euston shutdown will impact all services on the West Coast main Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson and metro mayor Steve Rotheram had both backed the Channel 4 bid

City’s bid for Channel 4 HQ is rejected Report by Tom Martin LIVERPOOL’S bid to become the new home for Channel 4 has failed.

The Champion has reported how the city was one of a number of hopeful cities and regions vying to be the broadcaster’s new headquarters alongside Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Greater Manchester, Leeds and the West Midlands.

However, Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson revealed on Monday, July 23 that the city's bid has been unsuccessful, claiming a main reason was due to transport.

He said: “Sorry to announce Liverpool has not been shortlisted for Channel 4 relocation or hub. A huge thank you everyone who supported the bid.

Sad to be told a big problem was Liverpool not being connected transport wise. Exactly why not getting HS2 link is wrong and short-sighted.”

Channel 4 plans to move 300 of its 800 staff out of London to a national HQ and two “creative hubs”.

The #4ForLiverpool bid was submitted in early May and led by Mayor Anderson and backed by Liverpool City Region metro mayor Steve Rotheram.

Channel 4 are to make a final decision on location of their new HQ and creative hubs in October this year.

Liverpool's Channel 4 bid has been unsuccessful

line including trains serving Wigan, Penrith, Oxenholme, Carlisle, Lancaster, Preston, and Blackpool.

Martin Frobisher, managing director for Network Rail’s London North Western route said: “There is never an ideal time to shut the railway but these three weekends are the least disruptive times to do it. We have worked together for the past three years with train operators to carefully plan this closure of the railway in a way that minimises the impact on customers.

“It’s vital the track at North Wembley is replaced to continue to safely meet the huge demand of passenger and freight rail services on the West Coast main line. This work will result in better, more reliable journeys in future.”

Peter Broadley, executive director

Rail users are being urged to avoid Euston for three weekends

for customer, operations and safety at Virgin Trains said: “With no services into or out of Euston we strongly advise our customers to avoid travelling to London on the days affected.

We know this will impact on people’s

travel plans, particularly over a bank holiday weekend so we encourage customers to plan ahead and where possible travel at other times.”

Hospice is now buzzing with 50,000 honeybees!

{

THERE is a real buzz around St Joseph’s Hospice following the arrival of 50,000 resident honeybees!

Staff at the Thornton hospice are delighted with the new arrivals and say they are great for the local environment and conservation, as bees are nature’s best pollinators.

The hospice hopes the bees will eventually generate income through the sale of its very own hospice honey.

Local beekeeper, John Ryan approached the hospice in April as he was looking for somewhere in the local area to start a new hive and knew that the 12 acres of woodland surrounding the hospice would be perfect.

As a nature lover hospice chief executive, Mike Parr, thought it was a fantastic idea.

Firearms campaign is hailed a success by police Report by Tom Martin POLICE have hailed the success of two weeks of action carried out to ensure legally-held firearms and ammunition are being correctly and safely stored.

There are currently 16 registered firearms dealers on Merseyside, including sports and gun shops, shooting clubs and armouries, with one being in Formby in the form of Formby Gun Shop.

In the first week of action firearms enquiry officers, with the assistance of uniformed colleagues, visited each of the dealers to ensure legislation around storage, ownership and record-keeping was being complied with.

All stock was checked against the dealers register and specialist architectural liaison officers checked that properties were secure.

As a result one registered firearm dealer was removed from the register and their personal firearms certificate revoked after an insecure weapon and parts were found in their property.

A second dealer was also removed from the register and their firearms, shotgun and explosive certificates revoked after a quantity of ammunition was found to be not stored securely.

In a second week of action 23 firearms and shotgun certificate owners, who own multiple weapons, were visited and security checks carried out by officers. A warning letter was issued to one person whose explosive licence had expired and a full survey carried out at a property where the security did not meet the required standard.

School shortlisted for award A LITHERLAND primary school has been shortlisted for an award which celebrates “people management.”

Lander Road Primary School has been nominated in the Gold Employer of the Year category in The Investors in People Awards 2018.

The awards celebrate the best people management accredited

businesses and organisations. This year, winners will be awarded at a ceremony and dinner in London on November 28.

Jeff Taylor, headteacher of Lander Road Primary School said: “It is a privilege to be shortlisted for this award; a clear indication of the dedication and hard work the team has invested in the school.”

said: “We have a responsibility for public safety and ensuring that everyone who legitimately owns a firearm or ammunition is correctly registered and abides by the legislation.

“This is not about preventing people from legally holding firearms but about ensuring firearms are correctly and safely stored and this activity has been very successful in reducing the risk to the communities of Merseyside.

“Nationally there is concern that lawfully-held firearms are finding their way into criminal hands which is why it is important that operations such as these are carried out regularly to identify anyone who is not abiding by the law and in doing so is putting themselves or other

people at risk.

“During our second week of action it became apparent that some certificate holders had become blasé in their approach to security of their guns and their home, which leaves them in a vulnerable position and poses a risk to public safety.

“It also became apparent that they were not using all of their guns and two certificate holders have now reduced the amount in their possession – with 10 in total either being sold or destroyed by Merseyside Police.

“There is ongoing work by certificate holders to continue to reduce the amount of weapons in their possession due to them not being used.”

Drug user grabbed cash from hand of shopper A DRUG USER from Waterloo has appeared in court for grabbing £100 from the hand of a woman waiting outside the Asda supermarket in Bootle.

As Kenneth English, 49, of Church Road, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on June 13, it was heard that the 21-year-old woman was standing with the money near to the ATMs where her mother was withdrawing cash, when English suddenly appeared and grabbed it from her.

Andrew Page, prosecuting, said that English fled on a mountain bike The woman attempted to stop him by grabbing his

clothes but fell to the ground as he made off.

The court heard that the woman was given assistance by members of the public and store staff.

While she was still on the floor one of the staff informed her that English’s girlfriend was still in the store. After being approached by the victim’s mother the girlfriend agreed to wait until police arrived when she handed over his details The court heard the couple had since split up.

Probation worker Jackie Dawber said that English has been taking drugs on and off for 10 years after being introduced to them by a cell mate while serving

a prison sentence.

She said he had been attending a drug treatment centre and taking methadone, which is prescribed to help drug users. However, on the day he did not have a prescription for the drug and out of desperation and on the spur of the moment he stole to buy street drugs instead.

“He can not believe what he has done and he understands the impact on the victim,” Ms Dawber said.

Solicitor Rebecca Templeman said it was English’s own fault he did not have the prescription which was due to it being the early May bank holiday the day

before. “He accepts this was a deeply unpleasant incident and he is very remorseful for his behaviour,” she said, “He was genuinely embarrassed when listening to the facts of the evidence. He offers his apologies to the victim.”

The magistrates sentenced him to a 12-month community order which included a four-week 7pm-7am curfew, a nine-month drug rehabilitation program, and between 10 and 15 days of a rehabilitative activity, along with costs and victim surcharge of £170.

He was also ordered to pay his victim compensation totalling £100.

GENUINE MERCEDES STAR DIAGNOSTICS

TWO England netball stars were in Formby to help support an event which saw thousands of pounds raised for charity.

Laura Malcolm and Eleanor Cardwell were invited by Crosbybased Winwood Netball Club to a tournament they arranged at Formby High School.

It involved more than 200 youngsters aged between 9-17 who competed in the first ever Mark the Memories netball tournament.

It was organised after three young Winwood players lost their dad, Mark Edwards, to cancer last year so the event raised money for the Mark Edwards Foundation.

Jenney Taylor from Winwood said: “Winwood Netball Club established it’s junior section in 2014 and three of their members unfortunately lost their dad to cancer last year. In his memory the Mark Edwards Foundation has been established to help gifted young athletes to be able to pay for sporting equipment that they couldn’t otherwise buy without the help of this charity.

“His wife, Anna Edwards is also a member of Winwood Netball Club in the adult division and was elated on the day to have Netball Super League players and England representatives Laura Malcolm and Eleanor Cardwell in attendance to meet not only her family but all of the budding netballers.

“The day was spent with them meeting the girls, signing autographs and asking questions about life as a professional netballer.

The final figure raised is not counted yet as donations are still being made, but the day has raised at least £800 for the charity.”

Mark Edwards with his wife and three children

Winwood have been very busy over the last month, and they also organised a Fight For Life netball tournament on Saturday, July 7, this time money raised going to the Marina Dalglish Appeal. To date they have raised over £10,000 for the charity having organised 11 of these tournaments in the past. Once again held at Formby High School, over 20 teams and over 160 women took part.

Drug driver was speeding A WATERLOO woman stopped by police in her VW Golf because of the speed she was driving at was more than four times over the limit for cannabis, a court has heard.

Sinead McCall, 24, of Church Road, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on July 11 where she pleaded guilty to drug driving.

Lynn Clark, prosecuting, said she was pulled over on Knowsley Road, Bootle, at 10pm on May 8.

“She came to the officer’s attention as she was traveling at speed ahead of the officer’s vehicle,” Miss Clark said, “There was also a front seat passenger and a rear seat passenger at the time.

“It was noticed that there was a strong smell of cannabis and the officer believed that the defendant was under the influence of drugs due to her demeanour.”

The court heard McCall failed a road side drug test and was subsequently blood tested, which showed that she was driving with 8.7

Cygnet

micrograms per litreof delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (the active ingredient in cannabis) in her blood, the legal limit is 2mcg/l.

Miss Clark said cannabis was also found in the car but that belonged to a passenger.

Representing herself, McCall said she was sorry and had no issues with cannabis.

The magistrates fined her £250, ordered that she pay £115 in costs and victim surcharge and banned her from driving for 12 months.

“It’s a very very dangerous thing to drive while cannabis is in your system,” said Chairman Alan Crossland.

He added: “We have all heard stories of what the consequences can be. We also have to look at things that aggravate your actions. As far as making things worse you had two passengers in the car and you were driving at speed. But what goes in your credit is your guilty plea and cooperation.”

James and Lucy Hargreaves after completing the challenge

Siblings walk 100km in two days for charity A BROTHER and sister from Crosby walked 100km from London to Brighton to raise money for charity.

There was no sibling rivalry when James and Lucy Hargreaves teamed up for the mammoth walk, which they completed in 26 hours over the course of two days.

It saw them endure 13 hours of walking on each day, but the pain was worth the prize as £1,600 in donations will be given to mental health charity Mind.

Lucy said: “We were doing the walk to raise money for Mind, the mental health charity, a charity very close to both of our hearts.

Between us we managed to raise just under £1,600.

“Everyone was so generous with their donations, I think because mental health is something that is getting a lot more attention now and people are realizing just how many people it affects.

“We were both so thrilled to have raised so much for such a worthy cause. The walk itself was really tough and we were lucky with the

weather as it was dry and bright sunshine for the duration of the challenge.

“There was a really good feeling and camaraderie between everyone doing the challenge - we got chatting to all sorts of people from across the country who were all doing it for different, very worthwhile causes.

“There was always lots of encouragement and support from members of the public and people who were out in their gardens or on a weekend stroll!

“I was so relieved that I was doing the walk with my brother. We really kept each other going and the feeling of achievement when we crossed the finish line knowing we had done it together was really overwhelming.

“Even though it was physically and sometimes mentally difficult, I would really encourage anyone to give it a go if they want to step out of their comfort zone and enjoy some beautiful scenery! We were also looked after so well by the organisation we did it with, Action Challenge. With snacks, meals, medics and massages available every 12km and all free!”

ENTERTAINMENT

Popular actress made patron of Opera Viva OPERA Viva has announced that the popular actress, Alison Steadman, has been appointed as Patron of the Charity.

Alison began her distinguished career at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre and recently attended Opera Viva’s ‘Roaring Twenties’ concert in South Liverpool as part of the Halewood Culture Fest.

This delighted Alison and a most appreciative full house, with music ranging from Cabaret to Musical, and ended the evening with thrilling performances of In Questa Regia and Nessun Dorma from Puccini.

Alison wrote: “I am delighted to support Opera Viva. It was such a happy event and felt just right. A night for everyone to enjoy.

“The performances were wonderful and I could see the enjoyment the performers were getting as well as the joy from the audience.

Music means so much and I found myself being moved by some songs and laughing with joy at others.

Please may they continue to provide this wonderful entertainment”.

The company brings their successful 2017-18 season to a close with a concert at St Mary's College,

Show was ‘another success for Royal Court regulars’ Review by Ron Ellis Mam! I’m ‘ere Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool

Alison Steadman

Crosby this Saturday (July 28).

Keep the Home Fires Burning will present the music of the First World War to pay tribute to the spirit of those who faced the unprecedented horrors of mechanise warfare with such courage and humour.

The new season's programme will include Pasta with Puccini a Concert with Italian Supper which will include highlights from Tosca, Turandot, La Bohème and other great works which will be presented at St Mary's College on October 20.

Next April, Opera Viva will perform Verdi’s La Traviata in venues across Merseyside. Auditions will be held in September.

THE same week that Mama Mia 2 arrived at our cinemas, filled with a preponderance of Abba B-sides, along comes Mam! I’m ‘ere to the Royal Court, featuring great disco hits of the 70’s, like Candi Staton’s Young Hearts Run Free and September by Earth, Wind and Fire, played by a live four-piece band that has the theatre rocking from the opening chords and with not one Abba number in sight.

When first staged at the Dome in Renshaw Street, Mam! I’m ‘ere attracted 10,000 people and more than double that number turned up when it was transported to the Royal Court in 2015, so what better time for a revival?

We are in Boogie Wonderland, a run-down holiday camp on a Welsh island, brilliantly captured by Mark Walter’s ascending set.

The camp is run by Dave (Andrew Schofield), who is also lead vocalist and master of the disco dancing routines.

Dave’s daughter, Sally (Hayley Sheen), is about to get married but, unlike in the film, it is not her long-lost father that she is hoping to meet on her wedding day, but the mother she has never known, having been left on her Dad’s doorstep when she was born.

So, Sally has secretly invited three of Dad’s ex-girlfriends from years ago, Brenda, Mandy and Julie (played with great gusto by Royal Court regulars, Ethne Browne, Lynn Francis and Lindzi Germaine), one of whom she thinks may turn out to be her mother.

A scene from Mam! I’m ‘ere. Photo: Courtesy of Zanto Digital

The minute the first chords of Boogie Wonderland boom out, starry lights cascade round the auditorium, Mia Molloy and Rachel Wood, as the Disco Divas, belt out the lyrics and the party has begun.

Vocal backing is provided by Jake Abraham as Teddy, Stephen Fletcher (who also happened to write the script, direct and coproduce the play!) as Alf and his brother Michael (who helped paint the set) as bride-

groom, Si, complete with 70’s Afro wigs.

Corny jokes abound, the dancing is frantic, the laughs echo round the theatre and there is a great feelgood factor about the place with the audience enjoying it as much as the cast. In fact, as quite often happens at Royal Court comedies, the two are almost indistinguishable.

Star rating: 8 out of 10. Another success for the Royal Court regulars.

THIS year’s Lytham Festival had a strong line up with the entertainment starting on the Wednesday with Steps, and acts on other nights included Pete Tong, George Ezra, Nile Rodgers and Il Divo.

The sounds of Ibiza came to the Fylde coast on the Thursday night when Pete Tong With The Heritage Orchestra conducted by Jules Buckley performed.

The supporting act on the night was Basement Jaxx.

The set included many of the songs from the Ibiza Classics and Classic House albums and the highlights included: the Chemical Brothers’s Galvanize, Fatboy Slim’s Right Here Right Now and ATB’s 9pm Till I Come.

Pete Tong knows how to work a crowd and has years of experience of events like this. He said to the crowd: “Look at this sunset, its just like being in Ibiza.”

Becky Hill provided expert vocals on some of the slower tunes, such as Where Love Lives and You've Got the Love.

The night finished with more crowd favourites in Insomnia by Faithless and The Prodigy’s Out of Space.

Throughout the evening there was also an impressive laser display.

Saturday night at Lytham Festival was also another outstanding occasion with Soul II Soul, Bananarama and Nile Rodgers and Chic performing

Nile Rogers at Lytham Festival. Picture by Cuffe and Taylor

on the main arena stage.

The songs from Bananarama still sound as fresh today as they did in the 1980s and their set included some of the greatest hits such as Robert De Niro’s Waiting, Cruel Summer and Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye).

Nile Rogers and Chic came to the stage and held the audience’s attention during a set which lasted more than 90 minutes.

They started with the song Everybody Dance which had everyone on their feet and that is where most people stayed for the evening.

More hits followed such as I Want Your Love, which was performed by Kimberley Davies.

They also played a medley of all the songs that Nile Rogers has been involved with such as Notorious and Thinking of You. There was an emotional part to the night when Nile Rogers explained that he was now free from cancer.

The band's Brooklyn-born drummer also had difficulty pronouncing Lytham, much to the amusement of the audience.

Some of the band’s biggest hits, such as Le Freak, were left to the end of the evening.

Lytham Festival provides a line-up of some of the biggest stars in pop.

THE CAR in front – to paraphrase an old TV ad slogan – is my Toyota. Only it isn’t going anywhere, because the vehicle hailed as the nation’s 31st most reliable when it was new has decided to come over all un-Toyota-ish and break down.

An hour later and the verdict is in from the AA – the ignition contact switch, after nearly 20 years of being flicked back and forth on commutes, is finally on the way out and needs a £20 replacement to make sure I can get to work on time. This sort of thing shouldn’t be a problem if you’re sensible and employ a vaguely new car to do your bidding – but if you aren’t and rely almost entirely on old ones, the next few paragraphs are probably going to sound painfully familiar.

At the moment I have four cars at my disposal, and that’s not for pub bragging purposes, seeing as they collectively cost less than a year’s depreciation on a new 5-Series to buy. It’s a bit like having a 72-piece cutlery set from an upmarket department store – you might not use all the bits all the time, but for whatever

you’re cooking up you know you always have the right equipment handy.

Which in the event of the Toyota suddenly being out of action means turning to the Mazda MX-5 that I normally keep for holidays and visits to sun-kissed car shows, but unfortunately that’s already at a garage, having its radiator looked at after getting all hot and bothered in 30-degree heat on a classic car run.

No bother. I’ll just turn to the rather unlikely set of wheels I’ve been tasked with running for a year by my colleagues at Classic Car Weekly – a Reliant Robin that I snapped up last Christmas for £600. Alas, that was out of action at roughly the same point Big Ben chimed in New Year, after a couple of mates and I discovered that its front crossmember was made largely out of rust and needed a total overhaul. We’ve been tinkering with it ever since.

All of which leaves just one car in my life that I know I can rely on – my MGB GT, built 46 years ago by British Leyland. Despite its rather faded paintwork this is usually one of the few cars I own that I can normally depend on to fire up, its B-series humming excitedly in anticipation every time I hop in. Or at least it would do had I not left it for ages and let its battery go flat because I’d been too busy breaking down in the other cars.

They don’t build ‘em like they used to – they build ‘em a lot better. Feel free to think I’m a bit bonkers for putting up with four old cars as opposed to one vaguely decent one, but they’re all brilliant. When they work, that is…

SPORT

Bootle beaten in nail-biter for fourth defeat in a row SINCE the Liverpool & District Competition was officially constituted in 1949 Firwood Bootle had never previously lost four consecutive league matches, but that record went to the wall last weekend at Beech Walk where Leigh won a nail biting Premier League encounter by the narrowest of margins.

Bootle were invited to go in first but recent batting frailties were soon in evidence as the top four were dismissed by Toby Bulcock with 70 on the board.

Danny Davies (61) and Neil Williams (53) came to the rescue with a much needed partnership of 96 and Craig Prince declared after 55 overs with 200-9 on the scoreboard, Bulcock ending with 5-63.

The home side were left with 57 overs in return and their reply was held together by opener Ross Zelem who hit an attractive 83 with useful assistance from Tom Foster (30) and Hedley Molyneux (30).

At 170-5 Leigh seemed to be cruising

Last wicket pair saw Leigh home after middle order collapse to victory but their lower order suddenly became somewhat jittery and three wickets went down for the addition of 17 runs.

At 197-8 Dan Hewitt was clean bowled by Bharat Tripathi for 1, but Matthew Hibbert and Jack Hayes eked out the four runs needed as the hosts won by one wicket off the second ball of the final over.

A small crumb of comfort was obtained in the following day’s Echo Cup quarter-final at The Oval, where Bootle posted an intimidating total of 202-8 from their 20 overs to which Wallasey replied with a modest 78 all out to lose by 124 runs.

This weekend Bootle face two tough home matches against Ormskirk in the Premier League on Saturday and Northern the following day in the semi-final of the Ray Digman Trophy.

Healthy crowd for women’s match at S&B A HEALTHY crowd witnessed the first ever Women’s Kia Cricket Super League fixture to be played at Southport & Birkdale CC on Sunday afternoon as Lancashire Thunder played Loughborough Lightning in the opening round of the 2018 competition.

Both sides had an array of international talent at their disposal with Lancashire featuring Australia’s Nicole Bolton and New Zealand’s Amy Satterthwaite as well England’s Danielle Hazell, Katie Cross, Sophie Ecclestone and Alex Hartley.

Loughborough’s star studded team included New Zealand’s Sophie Devine, Australia’s Elyse Villani and Rachel Haynes, Scotland’s Kirstie Gordon as well as England’s Amy Jones, Jenny Gunn and Georgia Elwiss.

The visitors won the toss, elected to field and bowled out Lancashire for just 72 in 16.5 overs, with Jenny Gunn 3-10 and Sophie Devine 3-15 shining

Skipper leads way as Northern go top NORTHERN moved to the top of the Liverpool & District Competition Premier Division table after a huge 149 run win at Highfield.

Skipper James Cole led the way for Northern with an unbeaten 82, whilst he was ably supported by Justin Snow 58 and Chris Laker 39 as the visitors declared on 224-5, with Rob Halliwell taking 3-83.

Tomas Sephton then took four wickets for 40 and Jamie Barnes and Justin Snow two wickets each as Highfield were dismissed for just 75.

Ormskirk slipped to second place after suffering a two wicket defeat at home against third placed Formby.

Electing to bat first Ormskirk were dismissed for just 134 with Gary Knight top scoring with 22, whilst chief destroyers with the ball were Lukman Vahaluwala 3-33 and Ben Aitchison 340.

In reply, Vahaluwala top scored with 27, before Aitchison 24* and Sabbir Patel 16* guided Formby to victory on 137-8 In the First Division, Southport & Birkdale still have a sizeable lead at the top after they

Cole scores 82 not out before Sephton claims four wickets were held to a draw at home against Prestatyn.

The hosts chose to bat and were dismissed for 160 with Harry May 62 scoring his maiden first team half century and Adam Phillips scoring 27 against a bowling attack led by Peter Cassidy 4-41 and Ryan Westwell 3-21. In reply, the visitors slipped to 0-2 forcing them to abandon any thoughts of going for the run chase as they closed on 125-7 off 52 overs with Cassidy unbeaten on 62*, whilst Gary Keedy took 3-39 with the ball.

Burscough remain in the bottom two after a draw at Wigan, the hosts elected to bat and thanks to runs from Declan Mulvey 42*, Aaron Redmond 36 and skipper Charles Taylor 34 were able to declare on 198-9 with Chris Andrews 3-36 and Ryan Hughes 3-68 taking most of the wickets to fall.

In reply, Brendan Domigan top scored with 49 as Burscough held on for a draw on 115-9 with Jordan Hampson taking 3-4.

THIS weekend’s local LDCC fixtures (1pm start): Bootle v Ormskirk, Formby v Wallasey, Northern v Rainford, Burscough v Ainsdale, Liverpool v Fleetwood Hesketh, Sefton Park v Southport & Birkdale, Old Xaverians v Hightown St Mary’s, Parkfield Liscard v Maghull and Southport Trinity v St Helens Town.

with the ball, whilst Evelyn Jones top scored with 19. In reply, Alex Hartley took a couple of early wickets to reduce the visitors to 35-4 before Georgia Adams 22* and skipper Georgia Elwiss 19* took Loughborough

to victory on 74-4 off 15.1 overs.

In what was a first for the town, let’s hope it won’t be the last as the whole experience left the crowd and everyone at a very hospitable Southport & Birkdale CC wanting more in future.

MAGHULL lost at home to Old Xaverians in their Division Two match a high scoring thriller after racking up an impressive 252-9 declared.

Jon Ring top scored with 67 while skipper Paul Walters scored 60 and Josh Mahoney 34, whilst Mark Doyle took 3-48. It proved not to be enough though as skip-

Tough workout for Bucks after they needed to score five to beat Breck Lower Breck 2 Bootle 3 BOOTLE continued their unbeaten start to pre-season with a win over Lower Breck on Saturday, writes Connor O’Neill, in their toughest workout of this pre-season.

Breck wasted a host of early chances but mid-way through the first half, Mason Nevitt, the elder brother of Bucks forward Elliott, picked up the ball 25 yards out before letting fly with a low-drive that somehow found its way into the bottom corner of the net In truth, Jack McGovern, the goalkeeper on trial with the Bucks, could

have done better.

The youngster however, soon made amends for his earlier mistake when he did well to block Jamie Henders' effort after the forward collected Paul Mooney's defence-splitting pass.

Just before half time the Bucks levelled when Carl Peers was brought down on the edge of the Breck box, with Ben Jago curling the free-kick into the top corner of the net.

Six minutes into the second half and the hosts retook the lead. Some neat play eventually saw Nevitt race clear before the midfielder finished calmly passed Ryan Jones in the Bootle goal.

The Bucks hit back with 13 minutes remaining. Matty Coughlan and Ste

Milne combined before the latter's low cross was turned home by Andrew Gillespie.

And just minutes later, Stafford's side went ahead for the first time.

Some good play released Milne who in return fed Gillespie.

The former Widnes man then turned inside the box before being tripped by a Breck defender leaving the referee little hesitation in pointing to the spot.

Milne stepped up for Bootle but saw his effort saved before the Breck goalkeeper did well to block Karl Noon's follow up, but he was powerless in preventing Noon from finishing the rebound from close-range.

per Ian Carroll hit a century (105 inc 9x4 and 2x6).

Matt North scored 36 and Josh Dilworth 35 to see the visitors to victory with eight wickets down, with Anthony Molloy taking 3-37.

Hightown St Mary’s recorded a seven wicket home win over Sutton to move closer to a tightly

packed mid table.

The visitors chose to bat and thanks to Adam Onion 74, Joseph Noctor 68 and Jamie Greener 30* were able to declare on 242-3.

In reply, Jayden Schadendorf 91, Arslan Dar 79 and skipper Ben Ashcroft 47* all helped propel the hosts to victory on 245-3.

Two goals for Reid as Marine beat Tranmere XI Marine 4 Tranmere Rovers XI 0 MARINE ran out comfortable winners in their opening home pre season friendly, writes Dave McMillan.

The result against a youthful Rovers side was never in doubt once Dom Reid had opened the scoring with a rasping 25 yard drive after 15 minutes, his powerful effort beating Patrick Wharton and finding the top left hand corner of the net.

The Mariners played some flowing football with several neat moves opening up the visiting defence, Wharton making good saves on a

number of occasions to keep the score at 1-0 going in to the break.

The home side took a firm grip on proceedings four minutes in to the second half as they continued to knock the ball around nicely in the sunshine, Reid notching his second of the game after racing clear and sliding the ball past the exposed custodian.

Danny Mitchley got the third, running through on goal to take the ball round the gloveman and firing in to an empty net on 58 minutes with trialist Conor Ready adding a fourth four minutes later, heading in a deep cross at the far post from close range.
