A clear message on knife crime

T

HE CONVICTION of the seventeen-year-old for attempted murder, despite the victim not supporting the police investigation should send out a clear message that those committing these acts cannot escape justice.

Knife crime is reaching epidemic proportions and this week we are again reporting on another young man’s life being lost in Southwark, that of Latwaan Griffths, aged just eighteen.

The underlying causes of this problem among our youth are many and varied. In the community, volunteers, youth workers and professionals are desperately looking for answers.

We hope for justice as the end result of any tragedy, but as we have said before in this paper, it is often dependent on people coming forward.

The fact that in Latwaan’s case he was dumped by someone on a moped near King’s Hospital shows the extent that some go to, to avoid being identified. What this person’s actual involvement was is unclear, but if the driver of the moped comes forward it will help the family of Latwaan, who are having to replay the image in their minds of their young boy being left bleeding on the streets of Camberwell.

Is disabled badge outdated?

W

HILE SMASHING a car window might be classed as petty crime the fact that the thieves stole the disabled badge of a tenyear-old girl is disgusting.

If this little girl’s badge is being used only to get free parking and the family now have to run the gauntlet of avoiding tickets themselves, while they wait for a new one, surely a registration scheme similar to that used for the congestion charge should be implemented.

Return of the Joy Slide

How the new Joy slide may look

The original joy slide

Opened in 1921, the slide was torn down in the ‘80s after arson and vandalism EXCLUSIVE

By Chiara Giordano

chiara@southwarknews.co.uk

THE MUCH-LOVED ‘joy slide’, which first brought delight to the lives of Bermondsey children almost a century ago, will be recreated by the great-great grandson of the man responsible for the original.

After watching children use a step outside St James’ Church in Thurland Road as a slide, Peek Frean biscuit factory chairman Arthur Carr made it his mission to give them a real one to play on.

He joined forces with fellow Quaker Ada Salter, the councillor responsible for the beautification of Bermondsey, and a huge structure known as the ‘joy slide’ was opened in St James’ churchyard in

1921.

Generations of Bermondsey children enjoyed hours of fun queuing up to speed down the slide on a mat – but it was sadly torn down in the 80s after arson and vandalism made it unsafe.

But now Arthur Carr’s great-great grandson Fergus Carr, an architect, is planning to bring a slide back to the same spot after receiving permission to build a ‘joy slide for the 21st century’ based on the step the children used to play on.

It is hoped the slide, which will be smaller than the original but located in broadly the same area next to the churchyard’s playground, will be opened in 2019.

Speaking to the News, Fergus said: “I designed it with steps and seating for the parents to be able to look after the kids and for the kids to be able to slide down.

“It will have a pair of roofs covered in

greenery referencing Ada Salter.

“The idea is it will be more compact and sustainable but it will have references to the original slide.”

The 30-year-old added that the original slide was made of timber in a mock Tudor style with a tiled roof and was probably designed to show how houses

could be built.

Historian and author Graham Taylor, who has been involved in the project with Carr Architecture and St James’ Church, said the slide was one of the first of its kind in the country and was probably paid for by Arthur Carr.

“In 1921 hardly anyone had heard of a slide,” he said.

“It was a great innovation – the latest playground technology – and it was called the American slide in the press.

“Ada Salter’s beautification committee was founded at the beginning of 1921 so

After watching children use a step outside St James’ Church as a slide factory chairman Arthur carr made it his mission to give them a real one to play on

it would’ve been one of the first things they did.

“It was nearly all slums around here so these were slum children who were getting a break.”

About 75 per cent of the funding for the slide will be provided by charitable donations and the council, while the remainder will be paid for by individual donations.

The project, headed up by the Friends of St James’ Churchyard, has the support of Southwark Council, St James’ Church, Grosvenor – the current owner of the Peek Frean biscuit factory site – Salmon Youth Centre, Tideway and United St Saviours Charity.

Latwaan Griffiths is the latest victim of Knife crime

www.southwarknews.co.uk/news

By Chiara Giordano

chiara@southwarknews.co.uk

A TEENAGER who was dumped in a Camberwell street by a moped rider and left to die after being stabbed has been named by police.

Latwaan Griffiths, eighteen, was found with knife wounds in Denmark Road at about 6.55pm on Wednesday, July 25, after passers-by rushed to give him first aid.

The teenager, from Southwark, was taken to hospital where he was sadly pronounced dead at 00.22am the next morning.

A seventeen-year-old boy was arrested at an address in Kent on Thursday, July 26, on suspicion of murdering Latwaan.

Detectives have also released an image of a moped rider who they believe left Latwaan on Denmark Road in the hope a member of the public may be able to identify them.

Detective Chief Inspector Simon Harding from the Metropolitan Police's Homicide and Major Crime Command, who is leading the investigation, said: "We arrested a seventeen-year-old male on suspicion of Latwaan's murder and although this is a good start to our investigation, we still want to hear from the driver of the moped as soon as possible.

"This is a tragic incident which has resulted in another young person being fatally stabbed in London and it's important we establish where the victim initially received his injuries.

“If anyone saw the moped make off from the scene or recognises the helmet or moped we equally need to hear from them."

A COUPLE who ran a 'county lines' drugs operation from south London into Surrey have been jailed for a total of seventeen years.

Tyrone Jones, from Peckford Place in Brixton, and his partner Patricia Slater, from Major Close, by Loughborough Junction, were both found guilty of two counts of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs at Inner London Crown Court on July 6.

Last Thursday, July 26, they were both jailed, with Jones served a twelve year sentence and Slater given five years.

Three other people - two men and a woman - were also sentenced after pleading guilty on May 21 to two counts to supply Class A drugs.

Sisco Lukuna, aged 22, from North Circular Road in NW10, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, suspended for two years.

Ian Mulgrew, aged 39, from Radstock Way in Merstham, was sentenced to twenty months' imprisonment, suspended for two years, and Sandra MvGowan, aged 38, also from Radstock Way in Merstham, was sentenced to sixteen months' imprisonment, suspended for two years.

Police say officers from the Trident and Area Crime Command held a search warrant at Slater's address in Major Close.

As officers entered, Jones was seen to throw drugs worth £3,500 from the window.

The arrests came after a four-month

held in due course.

Detective Constable Dave Huzzey who led the investigation said: "This is an extremely good result that has seen a drug dealer receive a substantial custodial sentence for his role in running a 'county lines' drug dealing operation.

"Jones' accomplice, Patricia Slater, also received a substantial sentence for her involvement.

"I hope this result sends a strong message out to criminals who continue to deal drugs that they will feel the full force of the law through tough

The news comes as independent charity Crimestoppers launched a new campaign to raise awareness of 'county lines' drug gangs.

The term is used to refer to gangs and organised criminal networks which export illegal drugs into suburban, rural and coastal areas.

The gangs often exploit children and vulnerable adults, using them as drugs mules to move substances and money.

According to Crimestoppers, many county lines gangs force their runners to carry out criminal activities by threats, grooming and extortion, describing them as 'modern day slaves'.

Parents’ fury at Monstrous children’s festival www.southwarknews.co.uk/news

Southwark News, Thursday August 2 2018

ROTHERHITHE

By Chiara Giordano

chiara@southwarknews.co.uk

SCORES OF furious parents are demanding their money back after what they thought would be a “premium children’s festival” turned out to be more like “a really bad school fair”.

Some families travelled from miles around and saved up for months to pay for tickets to the Monstrous Festival held at Printworks in Rotherhithe on Sunday.

The event organisers promised to turn the venue into seven fantasy worlds for a day, including a ‘unicorn land’, The Beast – ‘the biggest inflatable zone in the world’ – and a gaming area.

But parents claim that in reality they found themselves queuing for hours in a hot, overcrowded room with a lot of what was advertised missing – including a horse dressed up as a ‘unicorn’ which had to be taken away because it was scared of the noise and lights.

Jonathan Forsyth, 42, who travelled from Lewisham with his wife, sevenyear-old son and baby daughter, told the News the feeling was “such disappointment because we built it up for our children that it was going to be such a good day”.

“It was sold as this really premium kids’ festival and when we got there it was in this place where they normally have raves and everything was terrible,” said the analyst, who paid £120 for tickets.

“There was meant to be a circus but there was just a cordoned off area and the soccer school turned out to be just queuing up for ages to do a penalty shootout without a goalkeeper.

“People were trying to make the most of it but everyone just looked a bit bewildered.

“It was all just very unruly, overly hot, overly loud, queuing up for something and finally getting to the end of the queue to find it was absolutely rubbish. It was a joke basically.”

Lynsey Mitchell, who travelled to London from Berkshire for the day with her husband Tim, daughter Shannon, seventeen, and son Arlo, eight, paid £100 for tickets.

“When we walked in we laughed, like a nervous laugh, because it’s like you’re expecting someone to jump out with cameras,” said the 38 year old, who ended up leaving with her family and spending the day at St James’ Park instead.

“The ‘beach’ was two inflatable toys and it was all stone cold floors, no sand and no air conditioning.

“There were three pens which were your ‘roaming farm’ and you queued to decorate these cakes but the kids weren’t

‘The soccer school turned out be just queuing up for ages to do penalty shootout without a goalkeeper’ even allowed to put their own icing on, that’s what they waited an hour for. It was like a really bad school fair.”

Another mum-of-two paid £100 for tickets. “When we got our wristbands and walked in literally within ten seconds I was like ‘oh my goodness, what have they done’,” she said.

“You could just see there were these little pens with activities but to have next to no backdrops, nothing to change the world you were in, they hadn’t made any effort to make it special and there were just concrete walls.

“That’s how much you pay for a lot of the theme parks and there were all these

‘The beach was two inflatable toys and it was all stone cold floors, no sand’ promises of fairground rides when I booked the tickets back in February.”

The event organisers apologised for “major issues” with queuing and admitted the 900ft inflatable obstacle course had to be split into two sections to fit inside the venue.

A spokesperson for Monstrous Festival told the News: “This was our first year and whilst we worked hard to ensure the festival was successfully delivered, we did unfortunately have some major issues regarding queuing. For that we are sincerely sorry.

“After much deliberation we decided to split our giant inflatable into two sections

A TEENAGER from Gipsy Hill has been jailed for seven years for attempted murder – despite the victim not supporting the police investigation.

Rimel Hanchard (pictured), aged seventeen, from Charters Close, SE19, was sentenced at the Old Bailey on Thursday, July 26, for attempted murder.

The judge lifted an anonymity order on a 17-year-old, in a bid to tackle the "epidemic" levels of knife crime in London.

Shortly after 4.30pm on February 3, 2017, officers on routine patrol in Poplar Walk, Croydon, came across a large group of youths fighting.

They found one of them suffering from a stab wound to the neck and administered first aid until the London Ambulance Service and air ambulance arrived.

The victim was taken to a south London hospital where he received treatment before being discharged.

He had suffered severe blood loss after a single stab wound to his left carotid artery.

Officers from the Met’s Trident and Area Crime Command say they spoke to the victim but he chose not to support the

investigation and did not provide an account.

However, detectives were able to identify the defendant through other witness accounts.

They also found a six-inch kitchen knife at a bus garage near the scene which forensics later revealed contained a DNA match on the handle with Hanchard – who was arrested a week later.

He was charged with attempted murder in November 2017 – which he denied – but he was convicted on June 25 after a two week trial.

Hanchard was then sentenced at the Old Bailey on Thursday, July 26, to seven years and six months’.

Detective Constable Sophie Watson from the Trident and Area Crime Command, said: “This was a horrific attack which the victim was incredibly lucky to survive.

“This investigation should act as a clear warning to anyone considering carrying or using a weapon that we will track down and bring to justice those intent on putting lives at risk, even without the support of a victim.

“We work tirelessly to prevent this kind of horrific violence happening on the streets of London and to apprehend those intent on committing such acts.”

FORMER BERMONDSEY MP and deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Simon Hughes will become the next chancellor of London South Bank University.

The veteran politician, who was MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark for 32 years and deputy leader of his party from 2010 to 2014, will take up the unpaid role from November 1.

The News previously reported that Sir Simon, who was unseated by Labour’s Neil Coyle MP during the 2015 general election and failed to win back the seat in the 2017 snap election, has taken a break from politics until at least 2022.

“I was going to make that decision to step down as a candidate for the next general election anyway but it was a happy coincidence that London South Bank University (LSBU) said they would like me to take up the post of chancellor on November 1,” he told the News.

“This is something I’m very excited about; I’ve been involved with LSBU for a long time and education has always been one of my big passions so it’s a privilege and it’s something I

never expected.”

“LSBU has been the place where you can come as a resident and get the qualifications that can take you anywhere and to do anything,” he added.

“I’m very keen we do even more to reach individuals and families particularly in Southwark and Lambeth.

“I'm greatly looking forward to helping to build on the university's success which in recent years has seen LSBU rocket up the university league tables and be named University of the Year for Graduate Employment."

Sir Simon will succeed entrepreneur and former BBC Dragon’s Den panellist Richard Farleigh as chancellor at an official ceremony this autumn. Mr Farleigh replaced veteran broadcaster Sir Trevor McDonald, who previously served as chancellor for a decade.

Professor David Phoenix, vicechancellor of LSBU, said: "At LSBU our influence is increasingly global but we will always be rooted in south London.

“Simon has dedicated many years to the service of the local population and his appointment symbolises the importance of our local community in everything we do."

Friends of Camberwell Cemeteries’ long running campaign has caused a headache for Southwark Council as the group refuses to stop protesting against what they say is a destruction of one of London’s oldest green spaces.

After a lengthy consultation with residents, the council published plans to increase burial space in 2012 – as it was predicted that without action, the borough would run out of plots as early as this year.

The council says the work will see some currently wooded areas brought back into use as graves, but that new trees planted will at least double those currently on the site due to be felled.

Three new burial areas are being created, with one in Camberwell Old Cemetery, and two in Camberwell New Cemetery.

The council says it will not bury on top of war graves, and as part of the redevelopment works the war dead are also being marked with special new headstones.

It also says that there is little demand for

woodland or meadow burials in Southwark, and that is why the land is being developed into a traditional lawn burial cemetery rather than a nature reserve, as in Nunhead Cemetery.

But the campaigning group has disputed these claims, and their Change.org petition, arguing against the redevelopment, has now been signed by 15,000 people.

It hoped councillors would hear their deputation in favour of protecting the cemeteries as nature reserves – and claim they were not told their request had been rejected before the meeting at the council’s Tooley Street HQ. As Mr Schaffer lay down in front of the Southwark Mayor, Cllr Catherine Rose, there were calls of ‘what are you afraid of’ from his fellow activists.

Mr Schaffer told the News the group would be making a formal complaint about their deputation. “[Council leader] Peter John knows Southwark’s actions are hugely unpopular, and bad for Southwark residents and London,” he claimed.

“Everyone can see our woods are vital, in summer and winter. To cut down acres of trees for burial plots just beggars belief.”

Cllr Catherine Rose, Mayor of Southwark Council, said: “As a council we always welcome concerned residents and organisations from across our borough to speak at our public meetings, and we will often go above and beyond to make sure people’s voices are heard.

Detective Constable Bhulesh Pala, from the Metropolitan Police’s Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command, said: “In the lead up to the attack, Bowman posed as a minicab driver and offered the victim a lift home.

“However just minutes after getting into the car, he drove the victim into a nearby park and attacked her.

“This was a painstaking investigation which has successfully led to the conviction of this dangerous individual. I would like to pay tribute to the victim who was incredibly patient

and courageous throughout this longrunning investigation which involved having to relive the ordeal and give evidence against her abuser in court.

“I hope today’s verdict gives her some measure of comfort and closure.

“I also hope this case gives other victims of rape and sexual offences the confidence to report such crimes to the police.

“This case continues to demonstrate that we are committed to bringing offenders to justice, irrespective on how much time has passed since the crime was committed.”

katherine@southwarknews.co.uk

TREE ACTIVIST Lewis Schaffer lay down and refused to budge during last week’s council assembly in a desperate attempt to stop trees in Camberwell cemeteries from being cut down to make way for new graves.

“In this case when we were looking at the deputation and petition requests for the July meeting, it was agreed that the issues selected; summer play-scheme provision for autistic children, problems for local residents due to excessive Airbnb lettings of former council homes, and finally contributions for the community from recent major planning decisions, were timely, new issues.

“These needed to be heard prior to the summer break. July's council assembly was also the first working meeting of the newly elected full-council.

“I feel it is important that new councillors should have more opportunities to ask questions of the Leader and new Cabinet and contribute in an important debate. It is always difficult to balance numerous competing issues with the limited time available.

“The cemeteries campaigners have previously brought a petition to council assembly, heard in July 2015 and gave evidence to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee meeting in September 2015.

“A consultative forum on cemeteries was established in response to the issues raised by that earlier engagement process.

“The group were sent a letter explaining that it was highly unlikely their deputation would be heard on the evening, and the reasons why, and as expected that was the decision made on the night.

“If the group would like to come back with any new information then we would be happy to look at their request again.”

Bogus cabbie jailed for sex assault in park after 26 years

By Chiara Giordano

chiara@southwarknews.co.uk

A MAN who posed as a cabbie before sexually assaulting and attempting to rape a woman in Southwark 26 years ago has been locked up.

Maximus John Bowman, 59, of Crawley Green Road, Luton, pretended to be a minicab driver and offered his 21-year-old victim a lift home in the lead up to the attack on April 17, 1992.

But, just minutes after the victim got

into the car, he drove the woman to Burgess Park where he attacked her.

An investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Complex Case Team in 2014 found DNA evidence linked Bowman to the attack.

Bowman, described as a “predatory sexual offender” in court, was arrested on suspicion of attempted rape on August 11, 2016.

He was convicted of attempted rape, indecent assault, actual bodily harm, and false imprisonment at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday, July 31, and sentenced to seven years in prison.

Family appeal after thieves steal their ten-year-old’s disabled parking badge

NUNHEAD

EXCLUSIVE

By Chiara Giordano

chiara@southwarknews.co.uk

HEARTLESS THIEVES smashed their way through a family’s car window while they slept and stole a ten-year-old girl’s disabled parking badge.

Eduardo Reyes woke on Monday morning to discover his daughter Amy’s blue badge had been stolen from the Citroen parked outside their family home in Nunhead.

Amy, who was diagnosed with Rett syndrome as a baby, cannot walk, talk, or sit in a normal chair and is completely dependent on her wheelchair and the specially-adapted vehicle.

Speaking to the News, Mr Reyes described the moment a neighbour knocked on the door to deliver the bad news.

“Your heart just sinks that someone would do that – that they would open the badge and see it is a child and not think to leave it,” said the 44 year old, who works as features editor for the Law Society Gazette.

“Doing this, you’re never going to be picking on someone stronger than you are you.

“This probably counts as petty crime, but it’s upsetting and has a big knock-on effect in all sorts of ways.

“Her big sister, who is fifteen, was the one most upset by this – they are very close, and she is very protective of her sister.”

Mr Reyes has put a notice in the car window explaining the situation in the hope he isn’t fined for parking in the disabled bay outside their home.

He said the process for applying for a blue badge can be a lengthy one and that

it could take at least a few weeks to replace.

“It’s obviously horrible to know someone targeted a child who can’t walk by doing this, but the process of replacing the badge is a particular reason our hearts sank,” said Mr Reyes.

“At the moment, we have a note in the car window giving the crime number, which we now have, and a plea not to ticket us.

“Amy has major surgery scheduled for the end of the summer.

“When she’s discharged, she’ll be even more reliant on the car and her badge and

it would be heart-breaking if this happened again.”

Rett syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects brain development, resulting in severe mental and physical disability, according to the NHS. It affects about one in 12,000 girls born every year, although it is only rarely seen in males.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the stolen disabled parking badge can report it to police by calling 101 or anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org quoting crime reference number is 3022063/18.

WARNING: ‘Fraudsters use

charities’ logos on collection bags’

By Chiara Giordano

chiara@southwarknews.co.uk

A LEADING charity has warned of fraudsters using its logo on fake collection bags.

Meningitis Now discovered its logo is being used on fraudulent clothes recycling bags alongside bibic, a charity supporting children and young people with disabilities and learning difficulties, and Bags of Help.

The bags are designed for people to donate their unwanted clothes, shoes, and other items, which are then collected at the roadside, often to raise money for charity.

The charity said it does not raise funds through schemes such as this and that there is no agreement in place with any company to collect unwanted items on its behalf. The public is warned not to challenge anyone seen delivering or collecting the bags and to report it to

Meningitis Now instead.

Dr Tom Nutt, chief executive at Meningitis Now, said: “Sadly, this is an issue that affects the wider charity sector and not just Meningitis Now. “Charities rely on the generosity of public donations to help keep vital services running – at Meningitis Now this means ensuring that everyone affected by meningitis gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.

“I would like to make it clear that these bags are fraudulent and nothing to do with Meningitis Now – please do not make any donations in this way.”

Lynda Williams, chief executive at bibic, added: “We are extremely disappointed to learn of the continued fraudulent use of the bibic brand. To falsely claim to be changing the lives of children with disabilities and learning difficulties is disgraceful, and I urge anyone that receives a bag purporting to support bibic

and Meningitis Now to follow the advice from the fundraising regulator.”

A spokesperson for Bags of Help, a small charity based in Somerset, told the News: “We are really saddened by this.

We don’t know where the bags have come from – we do not distribute bags.

“We’ve worked very closely with bibic and Meningitis Now on this. I would say if in doubt take donations to a textile bank or charity shop so you know where your money and your items are going.”

Fundraising Regulator policy manager Stephen Service advised people to check with their local council directly to see if a collection is licensed if in doubt.

If you are ever in any doubt about the use of the charity’s logo on bags such as these, or wondering if someone is fundraising for Meningitis Now legitimately, get in touch by calling 01453 768000, or via Facebook at www.facebook.com/meningitisnow

£2.25m for King’s Helipad Southwark News, Thursday August 2 2018

www.southwarknews.co.uk/news

NEWS 11

By Anisha De

news@southwarknews.co.uk

NATIONAL CHARITY Help Appeal has donated £2.25 million to the King’s College Hospital Charity for building a lifesaving helipad at the hospital’s Denmark Hill Campus.

It is the only charity in the country dedicated to funding hospital helipads.

The charity has pledged to donate a total sum of £2.75 million to the hospital.

Robert Bertram, Chief Executive of the HELP Appeal, said: “It’s great to see how our donations have made such a difference to a significant number of critically ill patients who’ve been rescued from across the South of England.

“We are hugely grateful to the generosity of the public as we don’t receive any funding from the government or national lottery.”

The charity started donating the money to King’s in 2016 and have created firsts for the Camberwell-based hospital, including a lifesaving helipad with a Deck Integrated Fire Fighting System (DIFFS). This was the first to be built on the mainland as previously the state of the art system had only ever been used in offshore oil rigs.

The system incorporates a series of nozzles which are integrated into the helipad and spray water and foam. It can put out a fire within fifteen seconds, allowing air ambulance crew to continue treating and transferring a critically ill patient to the emergency department as quickly as possible.

DIFFS has allowed the hospital to reduce staffing costs with firefighting

teams no longer required to fight a fire.

These savings have been allocated to other lifesaving services.

One patient, 40-year-old Tom Locke (pictured with his partner and three boys), had to be rushed into the hospital by an air ambulance, last October. The father of three from Hythe in Kent, fell three storeys from the roof of his house while trying to remove nesting pigeons from behind solar panels, and suffered multiple injuries. Locke was intubated at the scene and arrived on the helipad at King’s around 25 minutes later.

His partner, Lydia Clark, who had first called the hospital for help, said: “Without the helipad Tom may not have made it in time. This whole experience has had such a dramatic effect on all our lives, and thanks to the helipad and team at King’s our family has been kept together.

“Looking back, I can see how much difference the extra minutes the helipad saves can make – the traffic near King’s was so bad on the day that Tom was

brought in that I ended up getting out of the car and running to the hospital.”

King’s College Hospital is one of four major trauma centres in London, serving a population of 4.5 million people. Over the past year and a half, there have been 362 landings on the helipad, which is an average of four landings every week.

Previously helicopters had to land in Ruskin Park and then patients were moved to a road ambulance, adding 25 minutes to the emergency transfer. In the first year after the helipad opened, 162 patients were brought to King’s by air ambulance.

Ian Smith, Chairman of King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust added: “Thanks to the new helipad at King’s College Hospital, more critically ill patients can receive the urgent care they need quicker. We are extremely grateful to the HELP Appeal and its supporters for funding this project to help King’s deliver life-saving care as quickly as possible.”

Ms Hayes said: “A new health centre has been needed in Dulwich for more than 20 years, and I’m absolutely delighted that we’ve got to this really important milestone.

“This has been a genuine collaboration between the local community and the council and the NHS services everyone in our local area relies on.”

PECKHAM

By Brooke Manning

THE HOARDING around Notting Hill Genesis’ Wooddene Estate in Peckham is now an art exhibit, featuring photographs taken by children.

The temporary construction barrier, covered with photos taken by four-yearolds from Nell Gwynn Nursery School, is

THROUGH CHILDREN’S EYES titled “The World About Us… A Child’s View of our Neighbourhood.”

The official unveiling took place on July 19, after a month of the children capturing images of the community and local landmarks.

Now the hoarding for Higgins Construction and the Wooddene Estate site are covered with a patchwork of the photos. “We are extremely impressed with the quality of photographs the

children have taken, particularly as they are only four years old,” said Jeff Joseph, Community Investment Manager for Higgins Construction.

“It has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience and the art project can now be enjoyed by the local community.”

“We are really grateful to Higgins Construction and Notting Hill Genesis for giving us this opportunity to work together in such a creative way, and it’s

Everyone Active sponsoring twelve local athletes - including British champs You can receive up to £5,000 through the scheme, which already includes Paralympic ski pair Alice and James Luetchford

By Brooke Manning

news@southwarknews.co.uk

TWELVE UP-AND-COMING athletes from Southwark are being sponsored by the Everyone Active Sporting Champions programme, a scheme which supports athletes in order for them to reach their full potential.

The programme is now in its third year, and it offers athletes up to £5,000 towards training, equipment, travel and competition costs, as well as access to Everyone Active leisure centres nationwide.

One couple sponsored by the scheme is Paralympic couple Alice and James Luetchford – James is a visually impaired alpine skier, and his wife Alice acts as his official guide ([pictured).

In 2017, the two were the British Champions in Slalom and Giant Slalom in the B2 classification.

The Sporting Champions programme can award athletes with either a bronze, silver, or gold membership level.

Athletes sponsored at the bronze level in Southwark include powerlifter Jessica Goodchild, the 400m athletes Susanna Banjo and Dwayne Cowan, swimmer Andrew Benson, and 100m runner Diani

Walker, which provides them access to Everyone Active facilities nationwide, as well as the eight in Southwark.

“It’s fantastic to see such a wealth of upcoming local sporting talent in the area and we are delighted to be supporting these athletes on their journey,” said the Everyone Active Contract Manager Mark Basker.

“Our aim was to support 500 athletes by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, and to have achieved this two years early is just fantastic.

“As a leisure provider working in partnership with the council, we feel it is important to cater for all sectors of the community, including emerging talent by reducing the costs required to perform at the highest level,” he continued.

“We hope to continue making a real difference to our athlete’s success.”

wonderful to see their work given such prominence,” said Lynne Cooper, Executive Head Teacher for Nell Gwynn and Ann Bernadt Nursery Schools.

“It’s been a really positive experience for the children and the nursery school as a whole.

“We’ve been here a long time and this display further helps root us in the community that we are part of – for me it helps signify the bond between the old

and the new.

“The nursery was built in 1914 and the rise of the housing project signifying new opportunities as part of this remarkable community of Peckham.”

The construction site is for the new Wooddene Estate, formerly a 1960s concrete build, and part of the Acorn Estate. The new development will contain 333 homes, and an on-site energy centre.

Bermondsey Beer Mile to feature German ales never before poured in the UK

By Brooke Manning

news@southwarknews.co.uk

BERMONDSEY BEER Mile’s Moor Beer will host the second annual I Want Moor festival, with this year’s focus on beers from the Franconian region of Germany.

Over the weekend of August 10-12, Moor Beer’s Bermondsey Vault will have their collection of modern real ales, their first lager, as well as an estimated 50 casks of Franconian beer imported to the UK – some for the first time.

Head brewer Justin Hawke (pictured), who was named ‘Brewer of the Year’ at the British Guild of Beer Writers’ awards in 2017, is travelling to Germany along with Franconian beer expert Manuele Colonna in order to hand select the beers which they will bring back to the festival.

Franconia is an area in northern Bavaria, home to hundreds of small breweries, and one of the last places in Germany where beer is served directly from the cask.

“The beers aren’t clarified in any way,” said Hawke. “That makes the beers softer and fuller, but they don’t really travel since all the beers are sold locally in pubs.

“This means that for first time, some of the beers will leave the region and be poured in the UK.” “I fell in love with beer as a kid,”

Hawke, who is originally from California, continued.

“My dad used to give me a taste of everything. Later, when I was stationed in Germany, I got to travel the continent to drink beer.”

Moor Beer’s main focus is on modern real ale: influenced by intense, hoppy beers from California, naturally hazy ales in Germany, as well as secondary fermentation and well-balanced, drinkable beers from the UK. However, this year the brewery launched their first lager, and is also working on a barrel aging project.

“The first ten years we nearly only did ale,” said Hawke. “I always had this passion for German lagers though, and we just waited until now so we could do it correctly.”

The barrel aging project, taking place in the Bermondsey Vaults, involves storing beer in barrels that previously held another alcohol.

“We age the beer for a period of months or years,” explained Hawke. “Right now we have a double stout in whiskey and rum barrels, and some of those flavours will transfer to the beer.”

The I Want Moor beer festival is free to attend; there will be street food vendors, and both meat and vegan options will be available. Look up I Want Moor on Facebook to find out more.

THE BERMONDSEY BAKE OFF

By Michael Holland

news@southwarknews.co.uk

AFTER HEARING the rumour that Carole Brady, the Learning Disability Service Manager at The Bede Centre, said we at the News merely make up the weekly restaurant reviews, I was sent round to prove to her that we are real and do actually turn up if there is food.

It was the Bede annual Baking Day, just one of the many exciting events that Carole and her team put on for the centre’s members, and I had been invited to be a judge of this prestigious affair. And just like in the TV show, this Bermondsey Bake Off had all the drama of a final, with cupcakes not rising, and someone nicking all the cheese for the scones as the clock

ticked down; plus I was said to be more like driftwood than Paul Hollywood by one comedian there!

After being put into teams the centre users were eagerly mixing ingredients and kneading their dough for the competition.

After the French bread was baked the cheesey scones went in, with the cupcakes left until last. Chocolate icing was made and when the cupcakes were cooked they had to be quickly cooled before being iced and decorated. Each team leader urged their side on to finish first and present their offerings for this judge’s perusal, who handed out certificates for Yummiest Cupcake, Best Cake Decoration, Best Bread, Cheesiest Scone and Best Presentation, to make everyone involved a winner.

And I was impressed. Impressed not

Camberwell charity treading the boards

By Anisha De

news@southwarknews.co.uk

THAMES REACH, a homelessness charity in Camberwell, has joined hands with the National Theatre for a Public Acts production of Shakespeare’s Pericles.

Public Acts is a new initiative from the National Theatre which creates sustained partnerships with communities and theatres across the UK, to produce ambitious new works of participatory theatre.

The production marks the mid-point of a two-year partnership with Thames Reach and seven other organisations who deliver visionary work in their communities, together with theatre partner Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch.

The National Theatre has been working closely with the charity since September 2017 on this programme, conducting workshops, trips and opportunities for exchanges.

Denise Vilanou, Support Worker from Thames Reach, said: “This amazing collaborative opportunity with the National Theatre has had a tremendous impact on Thames Reach’s service users.

“The weekly workshops have provided

only with the quality of the work but also with the dedication of the carers and staff who made it all happen. It truly was a humbling and inspiring experience for this reviewer.

Bede House provides training opportunities for people with learning disabilities, help for domestic abuse victims and runs youth clubs. Their Abbeyfield Road centre will soon be demolished to make way for council flats, but in return they will get a new centre and clubhouse. They are currently trying to raise £1.2m to buy the lease. At the Lambeth Palace Garden Open Afternoon on August 3, proceeds from the £5 entry fee and sales of cakes and refreshment will be donated to the Bermondsey charity, so Carole Brady invites everyone to go along and enjoy the palace gardens,

as well as raise funds for Bede.

For more info on Lambeth Palace Open afternoon go to: www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/la mbeth-palace/lambeth-palacegarden-open-days-2018

A company of over 200 people of all ages from across London will join together with professional artists to breathe new life into the classic tale of Pericles,

through a musical version, on the National Theatre’s Olivier stage from 26 – 28 August 2018.Apart from familiar faces in the theatre such as Ashley Zhangazha, Audrey Brisson, and Ayesha Dharker, the cast has been exclusively selected to represent the cultural diversity of London.

National Theatre’s resident director Emily Lim, who will direct the play, said: “Public Acts is founded on the belief that theatre can be a force for change, bringing communities together to experience the power of collective purpose and imagination.

a space for service users to be themselves, build confidence, think independently, be part of team and most importantly have some fun.

“The feedback I have received from our service users has been heart-warming with one service user saying ‘this is now my family. I do not have any friends outside of this group and this project is the one thing I look forward to every week’.

“This is just one example of how the collaboration with the National Theatre has addressed issues such as isolation and health and wellbeing.”

“We are so excited to be celebrating our first year of community partnerships this Summer with Pericles, our first Public Acts production, under the National Theatre’s Artistic Director Rufus Norris.”

Public Acts is inspired by Public Works, the Public Theatre’s ground-breaking programme in New York and by the visionary participatory work of other theatres across the UK over the past decades.

Christy needs help after being diagnosed with rare tumour BERMONDSEY

For ten years the law student was told she was just having migraines EXCLUSIVE

By Chiara Giordano

chiara@southwarknews.co.uk

A BERMONDSEY woman who was told she had migraines for ten years discovered she actually had a rare brain tumour.

Christy Kelsey suffered pain from intense pressure in the back of her head, temporary blindness, dizziness, nausea, vertigo, memory loss and involuntary limb jerking.

But after the 25-year-old's symptoms took a downward turn in November 2017, she was sent to hospital where an MRI revealed she actually had a 7-8mm cystic tumour on the pineal gland of her brain.

Christy said she felt frustrated that the tumour, which the NHS is unable to operate on, wasn’t diagnosed sooner.

“For at least ten years I’ve always had headaches for no reason but I just got palmed off and told it was just migraines,” she told the News.

“It’s frustrating because you know your own body and you know when it’s just a headache and when it’s worse than that.

“It was like ‘just take these tablets and go away’; it took something quite serious to get somewhere.

“From the start they’ve said all around it has calcified so it’s been there for at least ten years, and it could have been there forever.”

Christy said the tumour is so rare that only six surgeons in the world will operate on it so her life has been put on hold while she tries to raise £30,000 for a procedure in Germany.

“I was at London Metropolitan University studying a law degree and I had to stop when I got diagnosed, because of the memory loss," she said.

"How can I do an exam when I can’t even remember what I did yesterday?

“From what I’ve found out myself this country doesn’t really know a lot about that kind of tumour because it’s not cancer.

"But in Australia, America and Germany they take it out straight

away because they know if it gets really bad it could turn to cancer or it could paralyse you.”

“I do wake up thinking ‘what next’ because I know a girl younger than me who’s in a wheelchair and paralysed now,” she added.

“I would want to go to Australia because the surgeon there is the best in the world, but I have to be realistic so I’m trying to raise £30,000 to go to Germany.

“Even if it took some of the symptoms away I would be happy.”

Dulwich Hospital site ready for health centre and secondary school

T

WO WEEKS ago I was delighted to attend two events on the Dulwich Hospital site to mark the progress being made to turn the old hospital into a new modern health centre and excellent secondary school for our area.

The first event saw the official ground breaking ceremony for the new Dulwich Health Centre after a wait of more than twenty years. When my predecessor, Tessa Jowell, stood down from being the local MP in 2015, her one regret in the constituency was that the long-promised new health centre hadn’t yet been delivered.

The new Dulwich Health Centre will include a large GP practice, a dialysis unit and community healthcare facilities to allow local residents to receive a range of treatments

Last week shows that we are now facing a full-blown emergency

L

AST WEEK was a horrific week for Southwark’s elderly and kids with disabilities.

For the entire week, the borough had a car-pollution alert, which instructed them for safety to stay indoors and not do physical exercise. They also sweltered as temperatures soared to 35C. Both emergencies were directly caused by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas). The pollution alert was caused by intense sunshine turning pollution from cars into toxic ozone, with no wind to blow it away and borough concentrations rose to dangerous levels.

Scientists confirmed the likelihood of the extreme heat Southwark suffered was a direct result of climate change, caused by carbon emissions from burning of fossil fuels, eating meat and chopping down forests.

People are realising climate change has morphed into a fullblown climate emergency threatening humanity.

What should we personally do?

site. Again congratulations and thanks are due to the parents who campaigned so hard for the new school, the councillors and MPs who supported them and the teachers, governors and council officers who have worked so hard on the new school.

The first phase of the works should be complete by the end of the year and I look forward to visiting the school again next year when the staff and pupils

will have moved from their temporary site in Camberwell and the school is fully up and running.

Funding for both health and education remains under intense pressure as a consequence of the government’s cuts.

It is my commitment to keep fighting against the cuts to our schools and health services, so that these new facilities when they are completed, and all our local NHS services and schools have the resources they need to meet the needs of local residents.

Happy three decades, your journey here has been incredible. I am unbelievably proud of what you have made of your life, just keep doing whatever makes you happy. There is nothing more important than that. And one day, you may even smile on your birthday.

Love Dean, Maria and Duda, of course.

Good Luck

Mermaids make a political statement

THE METTA Company’s performance of the Little Mermaid is brilliant, writes Hannah Kelly…

Photo by Johan Persson

I could almost leave it there as there appears to be nothing this company cannot do, whether it be jaw-dropping acrobatics, playing a fiddle whilst hanging upside down, singing, dancing or acting, these people are sickeningly talented. The play balances plot and circus with musical very well, while never attempting to push any element beyond its limit in this modest production.

This adaptation of the Little Mermaid follows the youngest of six sisters who is finally allowed on her 16th birthday to explore the land of men above the sea surface. The plot follows the typical Hans Christian Anderson story, but here the mermaid becomes a feminist role model, who can very much look after herself and who saves the young, far meeker prince. As she gives over her voice to the Sea Witch to win the Prince on land, the plot follows through some exceptional gymnastic sequences and some quite lovely songs. Though not every member of the cast is a born singer, Rosalind Ford, who plays the eldest sister, carries many of the musical numbers with her powerful voice, and indeed Aelfwin Shipton has some lovely tunes.

The set, plot and production as a whole is simple, but in that simplicity

is much of its brilliance. Metta is not trying to overdo anything other than provide sheer entertainment, which is appealing to any age range, particularly within a family. Though the programme pushes a political edge to the production, I’m not sure it needs the emphasis too much. The play doesn’t make any particularly overt

political statements and I don’t think it needs to either. Here is a story which traditionally has presented a weaker female protagonist whose identity and salvation is caught up in a man, and has twisted it so that he in fact gives up his legs and life on land to be with her, because she makes him braver.

Little Mermaid is highly positive and

Who wants Ham when you have Spam?

SPAMILTON IS brought to us by Gerard Alessandrini, the writerdirector who created the brilliant, perpetually evolving, micky-taking Forbidden Broadway(25 editions so far), writes Michael Holland…

Alessandrini is the maestro of the pastiche, the prince of parody, the master of extracting every subtle nuance from his cast, and I have been waiting with excited anticipation for this to open. But then, when it did, I sat

comes across very naturally, without too much of a wrestle with the narrative. Overall, despite being sat in a sweltering tent, I had a brilliant time, laughing along with a couple either side who were in the older age bracket and a few much younger children in front. Though not a West End, technically perfect musical, the

performance is exciting, light and the gymnastics were impressive and seamlessly incorporated.

Little Mermaid is on at the Underbelly Festival, Southbank, SE1 until August 12th. Times: 12pm, 2.30pm, 7pm. Admission: £15.50 & £20.50. Phone: 0333 344 4167 www.underbellyfestival.com

there mouth ajar, looking round for an escape route while asking myself how I ever got stuck in this unfathomable mess.

Fortunately, within ten minutes of the start I got it.

When they did a mash up of Mamma Mia and the French musical, and called it Les Miserabba, I got it. When that was quickly followed by the Lion King and I, my blood pressure tumbled and I got it - I knew this was another winner.

Spamilton literally cocks a snook at Hamilton; it sells itself as a parody of the multi-award winning blockbuster before taking pot shots at almost every other musical and musical theatre name. In fact, one of the stand outs of the show was Sophie-Louise Dann’s Liza Minnelli belting out, ‘Down with the rap - Back with the tunes’.

Excruciatingly brilliant.

The whole cast were stupendous. The energy they built up on stage in this non-stop, 80 minute show was amazing, and they looked like they were having as much fun as the audience. Damian Humbley definitely

was in his Queen Elizabeth cameo telling his ‘subjects’ how Hamilton had had a negative effect on the theatre world: ‘Straight is Back’ he mourned woefully, sending a shiver down most of this audience’s collective spine. My favourite, though, was Julie Yammanee, a rocking and rolling fireball who can do comedy just as well as she can do steamy. She even managed to cross her eyes for a Streisand impression! What dedication. But Julie’s exceptional performance was made even better by this fantastic troupe who all need to be mentioned in dispatches. Spamilton is laugh out loud fun; Gerard Alessandrini and his team have cornered this kind of work for themselves - It is the Spitting Image of musical theatre. Amazingly it is all played out with just a piano accompaniment, robustly and quite brilliantly provided by Simon Beck.

Spamilton is on at Menier Chocolate Factory, 53 Southwark Street, SE1 1RU until 8th September. Times: Tue – Sat 8pm, matinees Sat and Sun 3.30pm.

Admission: £45. Phone: 020 7378 1713 www.menierchocolatefactory.com

THE PRESS blurb for Sounds and Sorcery enticed me with: ‘Dance with a funky hippo… seek out the fish and the fairies in a forest of ethereal dreams and, if you dare, sneak into the Sorcerer's lair - you may find this surreal symphony swells the soul.’

The reality was something rather less enticing, writes Michael Holland.

Supposedly to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Mickey Mouse, this visual and audial immersive experience based around Disney’s

Fantasia did not hit the mark. Yes, the music was fine, and the projections were fine, the live dance section was fine, and walking into some of the various rooms was fine, but we wanted more. A lot more. We wanted more interaction with Disney characters; we wanted to be amused by them, scared by them, enterbloody-tained by them. Alas, there were no characters, and other than Disney putting its name to the production there was nothing Disneylike to it at all. In fact, I reckon old Walt would be knocking on the door

Wrestling with death is enjoyable

of Warner Brothers Cartoons right now, asking for a bit of help from Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck because Mickey Mouse didn’t even turn up for his Sorcerer’s Apprentice cameo!

The mazes and tunnels were a bit creepy the first time, but they quickly lost their novelty. They became just like you were walking through a Ghost Train instead of riding. Yes, the music, including The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, The Rite of Spring, Night on Bald Mountain and Nutcracker Suite is excellent, but with stuttering audio kit even that lost its initial lustre.

ON ANOTHER one of these stunning, sweltering days we’ve been having, it came as a welcome relief to enter the cool conditioning of the Olivier Theatre for Eugène Ionesco’s Exit the King, writes Hannah Kelly…

Though the play’s wintery, ice cold throne room took some acclimatising to, the opening scenes promised to be good with a brilliant entrance from Derek Griffiths who sets up the opening gags.

Exit the King explores the inevitable approach of death played out in real time through the character of King Bérenger who has to accept his own death in ninety minutes.

Helped along by his first and second wife, doctor, servant and soldier, the throne room set with its gaping crack in the wall is almost all that remains of a kingdom which has fallen into a great chasm; seemingly the product of climate change and poor kingship.

Though the topic itself is bleak, the first hour is comedic, even

No Disney delights

For me, the best bit was the end, and I’m not being facetious. As a film of dancers interpreting the Rite of Spring ended, the area beyond the screen slowly came to life with illumination, the curtain was drawn up, and a soft voice summoned us via our headphones to walk forward. It was as if we were entering a misty, enchanted forest, and just when we wondered if the forest would ever end we realised we were in the bar, where some exceptional cocktails were served and which had possibly the greatest optical illusion I have ever seen.

pantomime in style. This tone, though enjoyable, was confusing at times, as the play always seemed to be on the brink of a greater severity and this created some tension in the performance.

Despite some woodenness on the part of some of the other characters in the initial half, Rhys Ifans took to the role marvellously and carries much of the excitement of the play.

Flitting from madness to absurdity and then to childish despair, he works through the stages of denial, anger, bargaining and depression brilliantly.

However, the real depth of the play began to emerge only in the last twenty minutes. As the King finally begins to realise the gravitas of the situation, the tone changes and the pantomime fades away to a deeper philosophising. Here the underlying questions of power, individuality, pride and death were addressed more directly in long soliloquies, which were powerful if not at times a little too long. In these moments the

Sounds and Sorcery is promoted with the Disney logo all over it, but really it is for fans of classical music and ‘trendy’ immersive theatre.

Admission: £31.75, U12 £23.50, £100 family ticket. www.soundsandsorcery.com individual characters of King Bérenger and his first wife Marguerite begin to become a little hazy and it is unclear whether Bérenger begins to represent God and Marguerite death, or not. It is perhaps here that the play loses me a little, as the set disappears and Bérenger is led towards the end, the attempt at representing what death might be like is, though interesting, perhaps too much for the play itself.

Despite this, the play left my friend and I with many questions and much to talk about afterwards and that is often a sign of a success.

The set design is fantastic and the performances on the whole were engaging. There are some good laughs and Marber’s handling of Ionesco’s wrestle with death was a well enjoyed hour and a half.

Injury worries for Hamlet ahead of opening day Southwark News, Thursday August 2 2018

Gavin Rose’s side went into the game without Daniel Pappoe and then lost Michael Chambers through injury early on. They fell 4-0 behind before grabbing a late consolation.

Hamlet were immediately under pressure against a side division above them and Preston Edwards was tested by Michael Phillips but managed to push the shot away.

The visitors rallied and played their way back into the game, but Nyren Clunis couldn’t turn his effort on target after swivelling ten yards out.

Gavin Tomlin had the next chance but headed over after Nathan Green had flicked on Ashley Carew’s corner.

Hamlet were then inches away from taking the lead from another Carew corner, Bryon Lawrence directing the ball on target and the busy Phillips clearing off the line.

With Chambers limping off Hamlet had an unfamiliar central defence of Quade Taylor, Michael Onovwigun and Magnus Okuonghae. Maidstone soon took advantage and went in front when Blair Turgott exchanged passes with Stuart Lewis before firing past Edwards.

Phillips added a second with a shot into the top corner after Lewis again assisted.

Edwards kept his side in it by saving from Seth Nana Twumasi, Joe Quigley and then George McLennan. .

At the other end Clunis forced Lee Worgan into a rare save but Hamlet couldn’t find a goal before the break and it was Maidstone who pressed for a third as Turgott fired over.

Just three minutes into the second half National League South newcomers Hamlet found themselves 3-0 down. Not before Edwards again saved from Turgott and the Quigley, who was fouled

as he went for the follow-up. The forward dispatched his penalty past the Dulwich stopper.

Turgott smashed a shot off the bar before Jamal Loza couldn’t finish the rebound. The latter didn’t have long to wait for his goal, however, getting his side’s fourth in the 62nd minute when he

ran through too easily before he beat the overworked Edwards.

A fifth almost arrived when Turgott back-heeled the ball to substitute Jack Richards who hit a first-time shot which Edwards stretched to tip over the bar.

Hamlet got their consolation three minutes from time after Dipo Akinyemi

had forced a save from Worgan. Will De Havilland brought down Anthony Cook and Carew beat Worgan from the spot.

Rose’s side travel to Welling this weekend for their first-ever fixture in the fifth tier. The Wings lost 1-0 to a strong Millwall side this week and will be daunting opposition on the opening day.

The 20-year-old from Welshman hit 58 off 32 balls to help his side to a four-wicket win at the Oval this week.

Australia's Nic Maddinson made 70 from 45 balls, including three sixes, as Surrey made 194-4.

That left Glamorgan chasing 195, which they managed with six balls to spare. Surrey would have gone top had they won and they appeared to be close it after Maddinson had helped them to that total.

Glamorgan made a poor start, losing openers Aneurin Donald and Usman Khawaja with only fifteen runs on the board, but Colin Meschede’s 43 off nineteen balls got them back into it before Carlson and Graham Wagg provided further impetus in a fifth-wicket stand worth 59 from 31 deliveries.

Wagg and Carlson made 63 for the fifth wicket before the youngster was caught at mid-off

by Jade Dernbach off Rikki Clarke's bowling.

Wagg went on to make 46 not out to help sixth-placed Glamorgan to a victory with an over to spare and put them level on points with fifth-placed Surrey.

Dulwich avoid defeat as they Limp to draw

By John Smith

DULWICH’S LAST-wicket pair held out for 28 balls to stave off defeat and secure a losing draw in their Travelbag Surrey Championship Division 2 match at Oxted & Limpsfield last weekend.

Dulwich put their opponents in to bat, and Assan Crawford-Khan struck with the eleventh ball of the innings, removing Bertie Heaver who had faced every ball and scored nine runs at that stage. This brought in Jack Lloyd to join skipper Simon Jackson, who had added an unbeaten 214 together in the first match between the sides. They carried on from where they had left off until Lloyd fell for eighteen to a

relay catch off Jon Lodwick that ended up at second slip with the score on 50.

Jackson continued in company with Jimmy Dalziel until falling to Patrick George for 57 with the score on 96. This was his lowest score in four innings against Dulwich in the past two seasons. Two more wickets for George and one for Salaar Waqar reduced Oxted to 151-6 in the 43rd over, but the innings was given renewed impetus by sixteenyear old Harvey Cutmore, who blasted 41 off 30 balls before falling to Waqar. The off-spinner finished with 2-54 off his fourteen overs, while George had 3-55 off thirteen.

Jackson closed the innings after 52 overs with the score on 206-7, leaving Dulwich 48 overs to get the

runs.

Unusually Oxted had selected five spinners and no quick bowlers for this match, and Matt Marfani and Guy Skinner were so taken aback by their ordeal by spin that only three runs came from the first five overs.

Marfani broke loose with some fine shots, including the only six of the match, but Skinner remained becalmed and was dismissed with the score on 27, having taken 27 balls for his 3. Marfani fell three overs later, having made 29 of the 37 runs scored at that stage. Arun Ayyavooraju and Ed Stolle took the score to 54 after 20 overs, but both fell in the 21st over and Waqar followed in the 22nd to make it 555. First team debutant Nick Gunning fell three overs later to make it 62-6

after 25. Four of the wickets had fallen to off-spinner Ned Lack, and the other two to left-armer Ross Powell.

Dulwich were now left with little choice but to try and bat out time for a draw, and Sam Ellison and Kamran Munawar resisted for seven overs before the latter fell to Cutmore’s leg spin. Lodwick and Ellison then survived for a further 10.3 overs, adding 29 together before Lodwick was lbw to Cutmore, having faced 41 balls for his sixteen. A bizarre innings by Crawford-Khan ended after three balls to give Cutmore his third wicket and reduce Dulwich to 1149. This brought together Ellison and George with 4.4 overs of the innings remaining. The two youngest

members of the side proved equal to the task. Ellison faced 74 balls for his obdurate innings of 27, while George remained unbeaten for the seventh time in eight innings this season.

Dulwich took just four points from this game, and remain bottom of the table, six points behind Old Whitgiftians and seven behind Oxted.

This weekend they have a home fixture against Kingstonian as the format reverts to fifty overs a side.

Dulwich will be looking to repeat their victory over these opponents earlier in the season.

Result: Oxted & Limpsfield 206-7 dec (52) drew with DULWICH 1169 (48)

MILLWALL MEAN BUSINESS 2018-19

New group brings together Lions fans who are experts in their professional fields EXCLUSIVE

By John Kelly

johnk@southwarknews.co.uk

MILLWALL’S FAN on the Board Micky Simpson has revealed a new group has been formed bringing together the business acumen and expertise of the club’s fans.

The group, Millwall in Business, is independent from the club, and Simpson hopes it can help create new income opportunities, using The Den as a venue for conferences and company days.

Simpson (pictured, standing far left) feels not enough people associate the stadium with holding such events.

“There is a new group that has come together called Millwall in Business,” Simpson told the News. “A couple of fans came to me with a few ideas. What they’ve done is said our fanbase has a lot of expertise in a lot of different fields.

We’ve got journalists who support us, financial managers, construction people, bankers, insurance workers, PR, marketers, etc.

“What you do is connect these people and when the club wants to look at doing this or that you’ve got this expertise. This is fan-run.

“Say if your business wanted a venue to do a presentation to all its staff. You might never have thought Millwall was available. It’s all set up for it, with Wi-Fi, presentation area. You’ve got Neil Harris, Steve Kavanagh and others, they’re all at the top of their field in what they do. People don’t realise what we’ve got.

“I used it for the England-Belgium World Cup game, I took 25 or 30 of my customers there. It wasn’t a huge bundle but it probably brought in about £1,500 to the club that they otherwise wouldn’t have got. And it worked, the customers thoroughly enjoyed it.

“They were probably mostly Millwall fans, but nearly everyone likes football, everyone likes Millwall. Everyone has got that secret guilty pleasure of Millwall, even if they won’t admit to it.

Supporters will look at their own team’s result first but they’ll also look to see how Millwall got on.

“We just need to look at ways to make the club more money. That money doesn’t go into people’s pockets, it goes towards making sure that we are better going forward. If we can generate more money from the LED boards, from using The Den for different things, then

when you want the big players you have more money to try to go and get them.”

The LED boards were in action for the first time last Saturday for Jimmy Abdou’s testimonial. A club statement recently said the “the move to digital advertising brings The Den into the modern era”. That’s not the only change made or planned for the stadium.

Millwall CEO Steve Kavanagh met representatives from the Premier League last season when it became a possibility that they could be promoted to the top flight. The press box would need to be expanded, for instance, if Premier League football comes to south Bermondsey. And this summer it was revealed the club had appointed AFL Architects to draw up plans for an expansion of The Den including increased seating capacity and enhanced commercial and leisure facilities.

It could be a significant move in light of the Lewisham CPO saga.

“The club are obviously looking at the long-term,” Simpson continued. “For years and years people have said, and Lewisham Council have said, ‘Well where are your plans?’ So now they’re actually looking at doing it properly.

“This isn’t small fry, this is going to cost the club a lot of money to do all this.

I would say wait until the end of the year and the club will have decent plans out.

“It also stems from almost getting to the Premier League. We have the LED around the pitch now, another way of generating income. If you want to go out and get the players you need you’ve got to look at every revenue opportunity.”

Meanwhile, Simpson also spoke about the numerous fixtures this season that have been moved after the initial 201819 list was announced.

The most inconvenient change is to the meeting with Rotherham which will now take place on Sunday August 26 at 12.30pm – just 28 minutes after the first trains arrive in the town from London.

There was some trouble between rival fans when the sides played at The New York Stadium in February 2015, but Simpson stressed “a lot has changed since then”.

“People seem to think the other club goes, ‘Right, we’re changing the fixture’, and it’s changed. It doesn’t work like that,” Simpson explained.

“The prime example last year was Barnsley. They wanted to change it to 12pm. Steve said, ‘No, what’s the point?’ There was a lot of to-and-froing with them threatening they’d go through

the Safety Advisory Group to change it.

Anyway, we asked to come to a compromise and it was agreed 1.30pm.

Our fans could still get there.

“This season a lot of it is not down to us, it has been based on advice clubs have got on the behaviour of away fans throughout the season, not our fans.

“Some of it is down to past misdemeanours. Rotherham, for example. I don’t think that’s valid to us now and we tried to come to a compromise, but they went to the Safety Group. Because they did that then we can’t do a lot about it.

“To solely say it was Millwall’s fault the last time is not true. It was probably six of one and half a dozen of the other.

“A lot has changed since then. Yes we did have Wembley but the last two seasons our fans have behaved impeccably.

“They made it fairly easy for me to get the Leeds travel restrictions lifted. The West Yorkshire police officer in charge is more than happy for us to go to Leeds again.

“Some of it isn’t down to clubs wanting fixture changes. When we were in League One fixtures didn’t change

that much because the TV companies weren’t really interested in showing you.

Kick-offs can change fairly regularly in the Championship because they are more attractive to be shown on TV. “Saturday at 3pm they can’t show so then they decide to put it on a Friday.

Unfortunately football sold its soul to the devil and the devil chooses when you play your football. The clubs aren’t going to be able to change that because they don’t have the money.”

There were murmurs about a potential boycott of the Millers’ fixture, but Simpson explained why that wouldn’t work.

“We’re not Charlton, Palace, we’re not a boycott team,” he said. “The only team that’s going to lose out is Rotherham.

Yes our team is going to lose out because they don’t have our support in the stadium, but Rotherham are the ones that lose out on money.

“The question is is it worth forcing the home club’s hand? If a club is going to lose thirty or forty grand in revenue would they then be in a position to argue the point with the police force. ‘Why are you getting involved and losing us revenue?’

“If we didn’t go to Rotherham and everybody paid a tenner to watch it on [viewer subscription service] iFollow, Millwall would get that money. If 1,000 fans didn’t go but watched it on iFollow then ten grand would go to the club rather than thirty grand going to Rotherham.

“So that was the idea, but it was only an idea. Realistically if you tried to do a boycott you’re going to have people saying, ‘I haven’t missed a game in 30 years’. You can’t stop them going.

“You’ve always got the harder end of the fanbase who will also go anyway. So with a boycott all you would be doing is stopping 1,000 fans from going and you’ll probably have 300 people turn up. So a boycott just wouldn’t happen.

“As much as people think I have power, I haven’t. I can only suggest ideas. The club would never support a boycott. I wouldn’t necessarily support a boycott. Six or seven hundred people voted on a poll on Twitter and it was 60 per cent in favour.

“I take every fan’s view whether I agree with it or not and put it to the wider fanbase to see if it’s an idea or not.”

Abdou bows out in typical style

CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON PREVIEW 33

Lions legend says farewell to The Den

By John Kelly at The Den

johnk@southwarknews.co.uk

THERE WAS only one way that Jimmy Abdou was going to say goodbye – and that was by giving his all last weekend in his final game at The Den.

It may have been only five minutes, but anyone unaware of the occasion would never have picked out which player was having his testimonial.

Abdou, 34, started alongside Shaun Williams in midfield – the pair reunited for the first time on the pitch since the victorious 2017 League One play-off final – and he played as if he was determined to grab a place in the side for this Saturday’s season-opener against Middlesbrough.

Abdou went about it all business as usual, closing down Bochum opponents and making sure his defence was protected.

He made one interception that was typical of him, harassing and disrupting the opponents in the centre of the field, ensuring they wouldn’t find it easy to play through his side. It was with the same work ethic and intelligence that he played his way into the hearts of Lions fans.

Abdou had been given a guard of honour by both teams before the game in glorious sunshine at The Den. He had touched the ‘This is the Lions’ Den’ sign in the tunnel for the last time, before walking onto the pitch with his kids.

Appropriately, he captained the side. “It’s an honour to wear the Millwall armband,” he said

PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY

MILLWALL - 1 Wallace 41’ VFL BOCHUM - 0 afterwards and when it was pointed out to him he didn’t play it like a testimonial, he responded: “When I wear this shirt I know exactly what the gaffer wants. I just play naturally and it comes.”

And this was, of course, a proper friendly, serious preparation for this weekend and the significant challenge Middlesbrough will present.

Abdou was substituted in the fifth minute, and every member of the Millwall side embraced him, including goalkeeper Jordan Archer.

George Saville came on and it was then the likely line-up to face Tony

Pulis’ side. It may not excite fans but Millwall’s stability could give them a head-start on some of the clubs where new players will take time to bed in.

Millwall took a while to get going but they eventually got into their stride, the main reason because Jed Wallace got into his.

He scored another cracker to add to his pre-season collection, walloping a lay-off from Steve Morison in off the crossbar.

“I thought it was a very good goal,

we got into some dangerous areas and hit the bar as well,” Lions boss Neil Harris said. “Jed had another chance second half and Aiden [O’Brien] could or should have had another one.

“The energy levels were really good and I was pleased for Jed, it was a great strike. It was a very good goal, the build-up play, the decision-making and the amount of passes we made to get into that area.

Then when you need that little bit of quality around the box Jed provided it.”

Bochum couldn’t contain Wallace after the break, and twice he was hauled down outside the box but Millwall didn’t add to their lead.

Harris added: “It was a Millwalllike performance. We had to soak up pressure without the ball but then when we got possession we looked a real handful.

“I was really proud today for

Jimmy. He was a great team-mate and it was a privilege to be his manager.

“It was great to have him in the dressing room. He was only on five minutes but I thought he looked excellent. Nothing changed for him, he looked in great shape and understands how we play.

“It was a really good day for him.

It was about him having the opportunity to say thank you to people, for the support he’s had over the years. It was a good send-off for him.”

Millwall: 4-4-2: Archer (Amos); Romeo, Hutchinson, Cooper, Meredith (McLaughlin); J Wallace, Williams (Tunnicliffe), Abdou (Saville), O’Brien; Onyedinma (Ferguson), Morison (Elliott). Subs: Amos, Martin, McLaughlin, M. Wallace, Webster, Thompson, Elliott.

They should stay up.

BOLTON WANDERERS

Title: 250/1 Promotion: 50/1 Relegation: 11/8 Last season: 21st Manager: Phil Parkinson Ins: Clayton Donaldson (Sheffield United; free); Jason Lowe (Birmingham; free); Erhun Oztumer (Walsall; free); Pawel Olkowski (Koln; free); Marc Wilson (Sunderland; free) Outs:(All released) Dorian Dervite (Charleroi); Karl Henry; Mark Howard (Blackpool); Jem Karacan; Jeff King (St Mirren); Jan Kirchhoff; Felipe Morais

(Crawley); Derik Osede; Darren Pratley (Charlton); Chris Taylor (Blackpool); Aaron Wilbraham (Rochdale) Star man: Sammy Ameobi Verdict: Bolton have released a raft of experienced players and big earners - and loaned another big earner, Ben Amos, to Millwall - but they’ve picked up a few decent players on free transfers. They survived with an 88th minute goal on the final day, and this is set to be another season of struggle for them.

Prediction: 22nd

BRENTFORD

Title: 14/1 Promotion: 9/2 Relegation: 18/1 Last season: 9th Manager: Dean Smith Ins: Ezra Konsa (Charlton; £2.35million); Said Benrahma (Nice; undisclosed) Outs: Andreas Bjelland (Copenhagen; released) John Egan (Sheffield United; £5million); Zain Westbrooke (Coventry; undisclosed); Florian Jozefzoon (Derby; £3million); Konstantin Kerschbaumer (Ingolstadt; £1million) Star man: Romaine Sawyers Verdict: Brentford’s finishes in the last four Championship seasons: 9th; 10th; 10th; 9th. Very consistent but slightly frustrating for their fans to go close but not really challenge. They will be up around those positions again but with others spending big could fall just short.

BRISTOL CITY

They tailed away after their run to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup last season, but should challenge for a top-six spot in 2018-19.

He has made an impact in the transfer market, bringing in Mason Mount, 19, on loan from Chelsea, a player who scored 14 goals in the Dutch top flight last season.

They have an excellent mix of youth and experience and should be up there - if Lampard has the talent to be a boss.

They will do well to reach mid-table.

MILLWALL

Title: 50/1 Promotion: 16/1 Relegation: 9/2 Manager: Neil Harris Ins: Murray Wallace (Scunthorpe; £600,000); Jiri Skalak (Brighton; undisclosed); Ben Amos (Bolton; loan) Outs: (All released) Jimmy Abdou (Martiques); Tim Cahill; Harry Smith (Macclesfield); Harry Toffolo (Lincoln); Kris Twardek (Sligo Rovers); Noah Chesmain (Colchester); Jamie Philpot; Christian Mbulu; Harry Girling; Tom King (AFC Wimbledon; loan) Star man: Jed Wallace

Verdict: The bookies aren’t giving Millwall much chance of a top-six push despite last season’s heroics.

That’s probably understandable given, at this point, they will have a very similar starting XI to last season.

They should be comfortably midtable.

Just keeping Ipswich clear of the bottom three will be a job well done in East Anglia.

It’s likely to be a spectacular success or a spectacular failure – Bielsa doesn’t do in between. It will be fascinating to see how it turns out.

They should be in the top six for most of the season and don’t be surprised to see them challenging for the title.

Farke has lost star men James Maddison and Josh Murphy and this could be another difficult season.

Aitor Karanka has been able to spend more than £25million, as well as loan the likes of Gil Dias, who was a regular in Serie A last season with Fiorentina, and Diogo Goncalves, a Portugal under-21 international with Champions League experience.

They have been restricted to recruiting free transfers, and there will be a lot of expectation on Marc McNulty.

They are favourites to finish bottom of the table, and it’s hard to make an argument that they will avoid that fate.

Swansea have a good squad if they can hang on to their main players and should be there or thereabouts for a top-six place.

Prediction: 7th

WEST BROM

Title: 8/1 Promotion: 11/4 Relegation: 33/1 Manager: Darren Moore Ins: Sam Johnstone (Manchester United; £6.5million); Kyle Bartley (Swansea; £4million); Jonathan Bond (Reading; free); Conor Townsend (Scunthorpe; undisclosed); Harvey Barnes (Leicester; loan) Outs: Gareth McAuley (released); Boaz Myhill (released); James Morrison (released); Ben Foster (Watford; £4million); James McLean (Stoke; £5million); Claudio Yacob (released); Jonny Evans (Leicester; £3.5million) Star man: Oliver Burke Verdict: Darren Moore almost performed a miracle when he nearly kept West Brom in the Premier League last season. Players noted they were far more organised than they had been under Alan Pardew, and if Moore is as good as he has shown, albeit over a small number of games, the Baggies will be in with a shout.

If Callum McManaman can get back to being the player that won the FA Cup with Wigan it will go a long way to ensuring they stay up.

Sky Bet Chamionship Preview

By John Kelly

LEE GREGORY should be available to face Middlesbrough this Saturday after he missed last weekend’s friendly against VfL Bochum.

Gregory was given permission to skip the game as his partner had gone into labour, and she since gave birth to a baby boy.

Gregory’s availability means Millwall could start with almost the same side that ended last season, with Aiden O’Brien on the left of midfield.

Millwall were expected to confirm the signing of Jiri Skalak later this week. Skalak, 26, took part in a full pre-season with Brighton.

The thirteen-cap Czech Republic international was the alternative to Ben Marshall, after he opted to join Norwich City rather than the Lions during the summer.

Millwall’s team at Welling on Monday night gave a further indication of the eighteen that will be in the squad to face Boro.

Murray Wallace and Byron Webster were the centre-backs, while Shane Ferguson played on the left wing. Ben Thompson and Sid Nelson also started as Ferguson’s goal gave his side a 1-0 win over the non-league outfit.

Millwall will be hoping for a better start to the season than last year, when they didn’t win any of their opening four league games despite playing so well. Their first victory last season didn’t arrive until the end of August when they defeated Norwich City 4-0 at The Den. The appetite will be there again to shock the big boys in south Bermondsey. Middlesbrough are second favourites for the title – after big-spending Stoke City – and they ended Millwall’s hopes of finishing in the top six last season when they won 2-0 at the Riverside in April.

Like many Championship clubs, Middlesbrough have spent multiples of Millwall’s outlay this summer. They paid £7million to sign 29-year-old centre-back Aden Flint from Bristol

Millwall vs. Middlesbrough

LIONS LOOK FOR QUICK START

August 4 Kick-off: 3pm

George Saville scored the second in the 2-1 win over Middlesbrough last December

City. They also spent £5million to recruit Northern Ireland international midfielder Paddy McNair from relegated Sunderland.

Patrick Bamford left for Leeds United this week, and Tony Pulis wants to bring in a replacement striker.

Boro could still lose lightning-quick winger Adama Traore to Wolves.

Millwall have been placed among the relegation favourites by the bookies and again have one of the lowest budgets in the division. The deadline for permanent signings is August 9 in this window, but clubs can sign players on loan up until August 31.

The Lions have enjoyed a promising pre-season, defeating Dartford, Cambridge and German side VfL Bochum without conceding a goal, the one blip the 2-1 defeat at Colchester.

Boro showed their strength by

beating local rivals Hartlepool 5-0 last weekend, and no Pulis team will fear playing at The Den. Millwall will have to match their best performances at home from last season to have a chance of clinching three points. They are a settled side but lose and more fans will start questioning why more players haven’t been recruited to help with progression this season.

Millwall have a testing opening month – including a trip to a Blackburn side that will be confident after promotion last season, and Frank Lampard’s Derby County – and will be eager to buck the trend that has seen them start slowly in each of Neil Harris’ three full seasons in charge.

They couldn’t have asked for a better opening fixture, and with a rocking Den have every chance of making a big opening statement.

Archer learning from mistakes

38 CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON PREVIEW

www.southwarknews.co.uk

Goalkeeper excited to be working with new coach EXCLUSIVE

By John Kelly

johnk@southwarknews.co.uk

JORDAN ARCHER admits he made mistakes last season but he knows what the remedy is: hard work.

Archer, 25, was in the top five Championship goalkeepers for clean sheets in 2017-18, but also made some errors that cost his side goals.

Archer – whose Twitter bio reads ‘striving for greatness’ – believes he has “another level” and is excited to be working with new goalkeeping coach Lee Turner this season.

Former Tottenham stopper Archer knows he will have Ben Amos – who joined on loan from Bolton – breathing down his neck this campaign, with Dave Martin the third first-team goalkeeper at the club.

Millwall replaced previous goalkeeping coach Kevin Pressman with Lee Turner this summer, and Archer feels that the former Charlton man can help him become one of the Championship's best netminders.

“I’m really excited to work with LT, it’s refreshing. I want to say also that Kevin Pressman was fantastic,” Archer said.

“But LT has come in with new ideas and new sessions and I can really see myself pushing to reach the next level.

“He keeps himself in good shape and that’s a credit to him. He is able to strike the ball really well and that helps us goalkeepers in training and warm-ups.

“Ben’s a top keeper but I’m working hard every day and I came back in the best shape I’ve been in. With the new goalkeeping coach every day I’m improving.

“I know I need to come in here every day and work hard because I’ve got Ben and David fighting for the same spot as me. That added competition is only going

to benefit me.

“I was looking at the stats and I was in the top four or five in the Championship last season. But I don’t worry about stats because I made too many mistakes last season. My aim is to be better this season and be a lot more consistent.

“I’ve got another level to step up to so I’m excited about the season to come.”

Since the end of last season, Archer made his full senior debut for Scotland, and then took a keen interest in the World Cup, where a former team-mate and exLions player took home the Golden Boot.

“I’ve known Harry Kane since we were nine or ten,” Archer said. “We both played for the same summer league team [Ridgeway Rovers, where David Beckham also played] before we got picked up by Spurs. We played for the same district as well [Waltham Forest].

“I’ve played against him since then [in the FA Cup in 2017]. He’s always had that finisher’s instinct, he was always the best finisher in training and he’s pushed on and taken it all in his stride. Everything he has achieved is from all those hours that he practises and no one really sees. He’s a top, top pro and he’s really down to earth.

I texted him after the World Cup and he replied ‘Thank you’. I’m sure he’s had thousands of texts since the tournament.

“A lot has happened in three years.

When I was at Spurs, Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm were there so I was under no illusions, I wasn’t going to play firstteam football. I had to go away and make a name for myself and thankfully the gaffer put his trust in me. It’s been threeand-a-half wonderful years.”

Archer now knows that another good season for Millwall could lead to more international honours – his debut was in a 2-0 defeat to Peru – but that is not his current focus ahead of the first game of the season against Middlesbrough this Saturday.

Another call from Scotland boss Alex McLeish can wait. “I’d been in the squad

Jordan Archer is determined to realise his full potential

a couple of times but they had an established number one in Craig Gordon and Allan McGregor there as well,” Archer said. “I knew I had to be patient.

“This was the perfect opportunity, they took a young squad and half the team

were making their debuts.

“The occasion was special, away to Peru and it was their last game before the World Cup. It was a carnival atmosphere and I was very proud to get my first cap.

“The two goalkeepers were massively

helpful, they’ve played at a top level. I’m still only 25 and they are in their midthirties so I’ve still got to be patient, they still have a few years left.

“I’ll focus on working hard down here and whatever comes will come.”

‘We’re thirsty for more’

Southwark News, Thursday August 2 2018

EXCLUSIVE

By John Kelly

johnk@southwarknews.co.uk

FAR FROM having regrets, Shaun Hutchinson enjoyed last season’s play-off chase – and wants more of the same.

Millwall were within two games of finishing in the top six in 2017-18, before defeat at this weekend’s opponents Middlesbrough on the penultimate day ended those hopes.

Hutchinson believes that despite their disappointment, Millwall now know what it takes to be among the league’s top sides.

“I’m grateful for the fact that I experienced what I did,” Hutchinson told the News this week. “It was about getting the know-how of what it takes to be up there as well challenging for the play-offs. It was enjoyable and it makes you thirsty for more.

“Even though the expectations are to get 50 points as soon as we can and be safe in the division, you always have it in the back of your mind what it was like to challenge for promotion and what it took to get there. There is always that hunger for the same thing again.

“It’s a huge game on Saturday, number one to get it out of the way but if you were to then get it out of the way with three points it would be massive going into the rest of the season.

“Last season we made a good start.

Performance-wise we were brilliant but we didn’t get the results. If we get a result first game of the season against Middlesbrough it would send shock waves through the division. It

would be a statement that Millwall are at it again and will be a force again.”

Hutchinson dismissed the notion of revenge after last April’s defeat to Tony Pulis’ side, who went on to lose to Aston Villa in the play-off semifinals.

“It doesn’t really matter,” he continued. “At that time it was completely different. We are fresh coming into this game whereas at the end of last season we had had a gruelling season and a long season, mentally as well. We had pushed ourselves to get into the play-off race.

“We’re a different kettle of fish when it comes to The Den. I’m sure the fans will come out and support us first game of the season and make it hostile for them. It’s going to be tough for them.”

Lions boss Neil Harris said earlier this summer that reaching 50 points will again be the main target this season. Millwall passed that mark in March in the last campaign, before eventually accumulating 72 points, just three off the top six.

“If we get to 50 points as soon as possible then we’re doing something right so why not push on,” Hutchinson said. “But then if we don’t get there quickly we still know our targets, we know where we’re trying to get to.

‘We have a united and talented squad’

EXCLUSIVE

SHAUN HUTCHINSON knows the money being flashed by some Championship clubs is “crazy” – but stressed “you can’t buy team spirit”.

Millwall could go into this Saturday’s opening-day fixture against Middlesbrough without any new signings in their starting XI. Ben Amos and Murray Wallace will more than likely be on the bench, and Jiri Skalak won’t have had time to get fully

up to speed after his signing is confirmed.

Millwall have managed to retain all their key players from last season’s squad, resisting Glasgow Rangers’ bids for Jake Cooper.

Hutchinson (above against Derby last season) praised the club for their stance on his 2017-18 centre-back partner.

“It was obviously out there that Rangers had bid for him. The gaffer worked with him for two seasons and got him to where he is. He understands the system, he fits in with the dressing room, you know he’s going to give everything,” Hutchinson said.

“If you let him go, yes you get the

money, but you then need to bring someone else in and you’ve got to fit them in and get them used to the club.

“It was good business that Millwall kept a hold of him and it’s good we’ve kept the squad together. It’s similar to last season – and look what we did then.

“The market is crazy but at the same time you can’t buy a solid unit and team spirit. I’ve been at clubs where you bring in players for crazy money and they don’t fit in the system or the team.

“We haven’t spent a lot of money but the gaffer has created something you can’t buy: a united squad, and a talented squad as well, don’t forget that.”

Hutchinson is also pleased with the

acquisition of Wallace.

“He’s settled in really well,” he said.

“It’s pretty hard not to settle at Millwall, to be honest, it’s one of those clubs where you come and there are no egos.

As long as you are willing to work hard, graft and be a good lad then you’re going to fit in. One hundred per cent it’s good to have that kind of competition. And you also need to know that if there is an injury there is always cover, and not just cover but people who can do just as good a job as you.

“The gaffer is pretty happy with the defence now, he feels he’s covered in all departments. There is competitiveness there and there is quality.”

MILLWALL WERE set to confirm the signing of Jiri Skalak from Brighton ahead of their game against Middlesbrough on Saturday.

When we were going to press, the club were completing the paperwork for the move. Skalak, 26, will join on a long-term contract from the Premier League side. The fee is close to but will not break Millwall’s transfer record, the £800,000 paid to Derby for Paul Goddard in 1989.

Skalak was a target last January but Millwall signed their first choice Ben Marshall. The Lions turned to Skalak this summer after Marshall joined Norwich on a permanent deal.

Skalak has thirteen caps for the Czech Republic and played an important role for Brighton when Chris Hughton’s side won promotion from the Championship in 2016-17.

The signing of Skalak means Millwall now have nine full internationals in their squad, while Aiden O’Brien has also featured in Republic of Ireland squads.

The Czech man, like Marshall, is noted for his set-piece ability from free-kicks and corners, one of the qualities that attracted Millwall to him. That fits with what Lions boss Neil Harris wants from his wide players, and Skalak also has a good work ethic and was a popular member of Brighton’s dressing room as well as with Seagulls fans.

Millwall are still in the market for a striker before the August 31 transfer deadline, and there could also be further additions if some of their fringe players leave on loan.
