COPLEYʼS COLUMN

There have been four notable deaths this week, three, in my mind very sad and the other a reason for worldwide celebration. The latter of course is the assassination by a top American squad of the odious Osama Bin Laden. It has been suggested to me that as a predominantly (are we really ) Christian country, we should not celebrate the death of anyone, and as charitable as this might be, I am afraid it doesn’t wash with me, as I am not able to eradicate from my memory the sight of poor people in the Twin Towers having to choose between being burnt to death or meeting their end by jumping out of the window from a great height. Let this be a warning to the Taliban, Colonel Gadaffi and all the other idealistic lunatics throughout the world that there is no hiding place. I would imagine that the loony colonel ordered extra supplies of Diacalm to control his bowels and doubled or trebled his personal security, at the same time never taking his eyes off the door. We lost, this week a national treasure, the wonderful Henry Cooper, British heavyweight boxing champion at a time when we were very rich in heavyweight contenders, including Brian London, Dick Richardson and of course the man to ultimately controversially succeed him, Joe Bugner. The highest point of our ‘Enery’s career has to be when he put the young cocky Cassius Clay, later to be Muhammed Ali, on his backside with a thunderous left hook. It is widely thought that had manager Angelo Dundee not craftily cut Clay’s glove, Henry would have won the fight. Peter Bates, a capable heavyweight at the time fought Henry and broke his jaw, before becoming mine host at the Red Lion in Chesterfield. The third well known person to die this week was John Maus, stage name John Walker, founder member of top sixties group, The Walker Brothers, who died at his Los Angeles home, losing a six month battle with liver cancer. Older readers will well remember the hits of this great

group, Make It Easy on Yourself and eerily apt for John Walker at this time, The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Any More. Formed in 1964, the Walker Brothers were, at a time when British bands, led by the Beatles were storming America , hugely successful over in Britain. Top comedian , radio presenter and after dinner speaker, Jimmy Carol, has a new website, www. jimmycarol.co.uk which has been very well produced, and was responsible for me missing substantial television viewing time, as it was a site I was very reluctant to leave, and I advise a visit. I could not resist the opportunity to get one back on Jimmy after years of being the brunt of his quickfire humour, by advising him that the biography section would be useful to me when writing his epilogue in this column. Just kidding, Jimmy, you are cordially invited to my funeral to lighten the atmosphere. Due to commitments elsewhere, I was unable to go to see Catherine Cooper at Dronfield’s Contact Club. I was on the judging panel when Catherine won the final of Stephanie King’s talent show, when she blew all the panel away with her version of ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Catherine is wowing them now on the club circuit, as is Ryan Myczko and Lee Lambert, all testimony to the great work and tutelage of Stephanie King. In February, Stephanie held a charity night, with her stage show, to benefit Naomi Smith, a pupil at Henry Fanshawe school in Dronfield who had been diagnosed with leukaemia. The show was a huge success with excellent behaviour from her largely unsupervised schoolmates and two thousand pounds was raised which was spent on an I Pad for Naomi and plenty of Nintendo games and controllers which Naomi proudly presented to the other children on her ward. It is my very sad duty to report that Naomi ,aged just sixteen, lost her battle on Friday, causing me for the first time in over ten years to shed a tear whilst writing this report. I am sure you will all join me in extending our heartfelt condolences to all her family. God Bless Naomi.

John had a pet parrot for a number of years but the parrot always uses rotten words when guests come over. Fed up, John gets really mad and throws the parrot in the freezer to shut him up. After a little bit, he hears the parrot kicking and screeching but then he stops. John thought that something might be wrong so he opens the freezer door. The parrot hops out and says I’m so so sorry for my rude behavior and that bad language will never happen again! John was shocked by the turnaround! By the way John asks the parrot “May I ask what the chicken did!!! An elderly lady was invited to her old friends country home for afternoon tea. She was impressed by the way her friend preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms calling him “Dear, Hubby, My Love, Darling, Sweet pie”. Amazingly, she had been married almost 70 years, and it seemed they were still very much in love. While the husband was off in the garden, the lady leaned over and said to her friend, “I think it’s wonderful that, after all the years you’ve been married, you still call your husband those loving pet names.” The old woman hung her head. “I have to tell you the truth, she said. I forgot his name about ten years ago. A man’s wife was complaining to their friends about her husband who was spending all his free time in the bar. So this one night he decided to invite her along to the bar with him. “What’ll you have?” he asked. “Oh, I don’t know. The same as you I suppose,” she replied. So the husband ordered a couple of Jack Daniel’s and threw his down in one shot. His wife watched in amazement, then took a sip from her glass. She immediately spat it out. “Yuck, that’s TERRIBLE!” she spluttered. “How you can drink this stuff!” “Well, there you go,” said the husband. “And you think I’m out here enjoying myself every night!”

round-up by stuart renton

I’m sat writing this column at Kim’s Caff on Woodseats Road. It’s not my normal routine, but I had to get out of the house. You see, I have this foul taste in my mouth and even though master of all things breakfasty, Kim (owner of said café), is plying me with what seems to be world’s entire supply of toast, nothing can eradicate the acrid stink left by new TV show, Made in Chelsea, which premiered last night on E4. Hoping to tag on the coat tails of The Only Way Is Essex (which ended it’s spring run last week), carbon copy, Made in Chelsea, is the same kind of fake reality show, but whereas TOWIE has a certain innocent charm, Made in Chelsea features the lives of the ultra rich, and instead of Mark, James and Lauren, you’ve got girls, Caggie, Millie and Binky, to follow around, and, for the boys, Fredick, Hugo and Ollie. Stereotypical names aside, this show is ice cold, for despite all their cash, these wealthy whippersnappers haven’t got an ounce of personality to share among them. In fact, I’ve seen pornos with better ‘acting’. They say adversity breeds character, and that’s never been more true as the “stars” of the show are among the most vapid, shallow and self obsessed people I’ve had the misfortune to watch. The show and its ‘celebrities’ lack any kind of warmth and have nothing to endear them to the viewer. With TOWIE you’ve got genuinely likeable people with whom you can relate (to a point), but here, scenes between the stars are horribly contrived and I felt nothing but apathy for most of them. Normally these kind of shows are so bad they can provide hours of mindless entertainment, but in this case, when I say bad, I mean dire, dismal, awful, horrendous, and, of course, <bleep>. What? I can’t even say <bleep> now – oh for <bleep>’s sakes! On the subject of <bleep>, this show is so utterly abysmal, mere mundane swear words aren’t sufﬁcient to carry across my feelings of the ultimate derision, so I had to invent some new ones. To that end, Made in Chelsea is a steaming pile of ﬂark with a side order of crunty felchwongle! There, I feel a lot better getting that off my chest! Score: 2/10.Unwatchable. Ant farms are more entertaining. I won’t be wasting another second on this pointless Essex wannabe.

LIVE REVIEW by KT Evans Me vs Hero, Chiodos, Skindred Corporation - 06/05

O’h my sweet Jesus…my sweet sweet Jesus. Corporation. Friday 6th May. Such a night. It’s hard to portray in words how much of a sweaty mess everyone ended up at the end of this gig. Picture an outdoor shower and you might just be beginning to understand. Put it this way, the room was sweating from the ceiling…hell yeah. Opening the night with an absolute banger, Blackpool’s post-punk five piece Me vs. Hero demonstrated their hard-core explosive nature and fiery vocals. Although some sound issues at the beginning of their set, the crowd kept on their side and were in full ‘metal head’ flow by the end of their performance. Supplying exactly what a top-class support band should do, Me Vs. Hero got the main room going, hyping us all up for the night’s primary event. Next up, Chiodos, a fierce six member punk band from across the pond. Announcing to the now sold out 800 capacity audience; ‘this is the first time in the UK for us…it’s close to one of the best gigs we’ve ever played,’ standard mosh-pitting and crowd surfing aside, the mixed-aged crowd were clearly enthused by Chiodos’s exceptionally energetic and lively stage presence. Although taking some winning over, by about the forth track off the bands set list, it was more than evident adrenaline was on mass and most were really feeling it. Combine this to an electrifying bass in tracks such as ‘Baby, you won’t last a minute on the creek’ and ‘Those who slay together, stay together,’ and it’s pretty safe to say, we were all well and truly up for kicking off big style to the headlining act; Skindred. And fail to deliver they did not. Blasting their way onto the stage to a reception only Jesus would be able to relate to, Skindred were given a true Corporation welcome, with chants of ‘skindred skindred’ and ‘we want skindred’ littering the first class rock venue. A culmination of reggae, alternative and metal, Benji Webbe took on the role of the Messiah with this shiny silver suit and red top hat, and rightly so took advantage of every moment! Opening with ‘Bruises,’ a clever track entwined with both screamo and regaee style lyrics, the audience was like the cat that got the cream. Other epics, ‘Roots,’ ‘Trouble’ and ‘Living a Lie’

were also performed and received with an almighty head bang, with highlight of the night coming when ‘Rat Race’ was performed, toward the middle half of the set. With Benji all over the place, similar to that of the audience, the atmosphere was sky high, not to mention energy levels; hell you people have stamina! Proceeding this, a Benji counselling session which goes as follows: ‘Are people giving you sh*t for listening to Metalica?’ ‘Yeah!’ ‘Are they giving you sh*t for liking metal music? Because you’re different?’ ‘Yeah!’ ‘This next one if for you…The Fear.’ Hell, who would have thought, a counselling lesson, workout and shower all in one night! Closing the set with ‘Destroy,’ only to reappear for a four song encore, Skindred are clearly masters of their craft, experts in what they do. Not only do they have the charisma and stage presence to win people over, they have balls to do what they do so deliver fearlessly. What a night!

INTERVIEW by KT Evans Kate Jackson Ex-Long Blondes

now are obviously from my heart, coming from my record collection. The Long Blondes were great but there was the ﬁve of us and most of the musical ideas came from Dorian.’

There’s a void that needs to be filled in the UK music industry. A void that belongs to Kate Jackson. Former lead vocalist of Sheffield sensation The Long Blondes, Kate Jackson is all set to claim her stakes in the UK’s chart, with a whistle stop tour round the country along with a brand-spanking new limited edition 7’’ EP to be released in October. Meeting Mercury in the Riverside on Neepsend, Kate was ever the trend setter as she always was, clearly enthused about her forthcoming solo project. With one of only a handful of gig dates around the country, The Kate Jackson Group is ready and waiting to play Sheffield’s Plug on 24th June. ‘I’m well excited…I love it here, every time I come up I’m all excited,’ reveals Kate who is a former Sheffield University student. ‘Sheffield’s a second home to me.’ Having being writing non-stop for the past three years, since the breakup of The Long Blondes, Kate has conscripted the help of former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler to aid her new material. ‘I did a lot of writing with Bernie Butler, who was great…(the music) is inspired by Bowie and Roxy Music, quite glam, quite indie.’ Having already been carefully selected and recorded in London, The Kate Jackson Group’s debut 7” EP has a release date of October 2011. ‘The two tracks work really well together, that’s why I want to get them released first. A one off limited release then we move onto other stuff which is a lot more country inspired. I’m excited about that.’ And there is clear justification for this. With very similar musical tastes to that of her fellow musicians, Kate was able to ensure the music she is now producing is ‘more reflective of my own personal music taste. The songs

Growing up a Britpop teen, Kate however has a much wider music taste. ‘I really love Neil Young and Led Zeplin, a lot of heavy 70’s classic rock…It’s bound to come out in the way that I write now.’ With ﬁery, distinct vocals and indie-inspired bass drum sessions, is more than evident to see where such inﬂuences lie. ‘That’s the music that I love.’ The Kate Jackson group will be performing at Plug on 24th June.

The Normanton Inn Advertorial

AL BILL WITH THIS VOUCHER WHEN YOU

SPEND OVER £20 CLUMBER PARK HOTEL & SPAʼS NEWLY REFURBISHED NORMANTON INN NOW OPEN The newly refurbished, historical, Normanton Inn at the Clumber Park Hotel and Spa, opened its doors to the general public for the ﬁrst time on Friday 1st April. After a forty thousand pound refurbishment, residents and non-residents will ﬁnally be able to see the results of many months of careful redesign and renovation. The investment marks the return of the Normanton Inn name, having been changed over a decade ago, after over a hundred years. It’s not just the décor that’s been totally revamped either. A totally new menu has been introduced and we’re not just talking about the food. Thanks to the Prior’s Well Brewery, situated within the beautiful grounds of Clumber Park, the hotel now has a one

of its kind drink on its menu courtesy of its very own beer called CHP Best. Available on hand pump, it’s sure to create a band of altogether very different ‘merry men’ for those who drink it! “When the hotel approached us about creating a beer especially for them, we were delighted,” explains Sandra Neil, Managing Director of the brewery. “Our brewery is unique as it uses water from an artesian well on the Clumber estate, so as the hotel is situated right on the park’s doorstep, it seemed only ﬁtting that their beer feature that unique ﬂavour too.” As well its very own beer, The Normanton Inn will also boast not only a delicious menu, but one that uses local ingredients. Award winning Mike Maloney Country Butchers & Bakers Ltd, based in Tuxford, is working closely with the hotel to source the best meat possible for the new dishes. “The hotel’s situated right in the very heart of Nottinghamshire so we think it’s fantastic that they want to support local businesses like us and use ingredients from the region,” says Alison Maloney, Director of the butchers.

“The beef we’ll be supplying to the hotel will come from cattle in Rampton and the pork will be sourced from pigs housed only two ﬁelds away from the hotel – you can’t get much more local than that!” In addition to a menu featuring sumptuous sharing platters, updated versions of pub classics and delicious desserts, The Normanton Inn will also feature a slightly different section to their menu – one solely devoted to a national favourite. The pie! Thanks to the award winning The Topping Pie Company, based in Doncaster, visitors to the bar will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of 8 different mouthwatering pies, at any one time, especially prepared for the hotel including Chicken Balti, Chilli Beef, and Steak, Shallots and Chestnut Mushrooms to name just a few. “The Topping Pie Company was founded in 1960 so what we don’t know about making pies, isn’t worth knowing about!” says Mel Jones, the company’s Accounts Manager. “We use only 100% natural ingredients and our pies have even been sold on the delicatessen counter in Harrods,

so visitors to The Normanton Inn can be sure they’re getting one of the tastiest pies in the country when they order one of ours off the menu.” James Hemming, the hotel’s General Manager, is very much looking forward to The Normanton Inn’s new launch. “The Inn has undergone such a huge transformation and we simply can’t wait to unveil it,” he says. “We wanted to put the Normanton Inn name back on the map in an updated and exciting way. The entire team have worked hard at guiding the concept to achieve this.” “We really wanted to create a destination with a difference whilst also making it welcoming, and we feel that the new décor coupled with the simply amazing menu helped by local suppliers, has achieved just that. Having our own exclusive beer in the form of CHP Best is just a huge and very tasty bonus!”

THE FOOD IN ON BRIGHT SIDE CLUBS OF THE ROAD CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington

It’s an irresistible topic, food. Wherever you go these days, it seems like there is food on sale. Stations now resemble food forecourts and it’s easier to locate a burger than a train. It’s no wonder obesity is on the rise with so much temptation everywhere we go. Even if you are not hungry, the smell of something nice will waft your way and lead you to part with your money and diet. What about clubs- how do they ﬁt into this increasingly eatingout society we live in? Clubs have not traditionally been places where you can get much to eat, though local variations exist. In the early years back in the 19th century, club patrons discouraged clubs from selling hot meals for fear of encouraging men to spend too much time away from home. Plus many clubs didn’t have the facilities for catering and men couldn’t afford to eat out regularly. The general pattern was established that a working man ate his tea (or dinner, depending where you live) at home and then went to the club for drink and company. Snacks were often available, such as faggot and pea batches (if you lived in the Midlands) or baps, maybe hot pies in the concert intervals. And on games nights, sandwiches would be provided. Some clubs provided cheese and crackers on Sunday mornings perhaps as an alternative to the wine and wafers at the local church! Children would be able to buy crisps and chocolate at the kiosk so no-one exactly starved whilst playing snooker or bingo. Times have changed and the eating-out trend became more popular from the 1970s onwards with breweries such as Whitbreads opening their Beefeater chain. How many of us remember with some happiness the cheap-ish steaks and chips, bottle of plonk and Black Forest gateaux? For many working class families, this was the ﬁrst opportunity of eating out at a restaurant. It seemed posh and grown up. Clubs couldn’t offer such meals and the competition did affect them detrimentally. Other chains were Berni’s with a similar formula. These days we have Harvesters and the like- family friendly, inexpensive places where you can drink as well as eat. As clubs struggle to keep customers coming through the doors, some are turning to offering cooked meals at reasonable prices. This is the same strategy as ailing pubs that, with a bit of thought and a revamp, become ‘gastro pubs’. Clubs are getting on this bandwagon as well. Maybe we have to lose a lounge here, a games room there, but if offering sit-down meals helps to save clubs from closures, perhaps we had better accept it and put off our diet till tomorrow after all!

MAGIC AM by Trevor Thomas

Whether you’re thundering past in the car or out walking, or even out jogging, we see all sorts of things by the side of the road. It’s commonly perhaps one shoe or may be a single glove that can only leave you thinking what on earth happened to the other one? Before I went on holiday I passed what appeared to be a fully constructed ﬂat pack kitchen drawer each day on the A57 near Crystal Peaks. Since I’ve returned it’s still there, but now in pieces. We had lots of calls last week from listeners who have come across their own oddities. Terry came across what appeared to be a topless lady when he was in his car, which is one way of hitching a lift I suppose. Sue discovered a £5 note, and Valerie saw someone dressed as a lion to help attract passers by into a nearby shop. She couldn’t resist it, stopped the car and bought the man a Lion chocolate bar. I think my favourite though was the man out running who came across a full set of dentures. Possibly they came with an apple or a toffee attached when discarded from a passing car’s window, but you can’t help to wonder what happened to the poor toothless soul whose teeth they were. Tune in to Magic for more fun, games and giveaways and of course the best of the 60s, 70s and more here in South Yorkshire. I’ve got your chance to win a whole pile of prizes with the Magic Word on the Breakfast Show, and keep listening to ﬁnd out how you could win a holiday to the gorgeous island of Bermuda soon as well. See you in the morning Trevor

Piper, a faithful Guide Dog from Bridgend in South Wales, last week received the PDSA Certificate for animal bravery and in recognition of his devotion to helping his owner, despite being injured by another dog. During the special ceremony held at the Mayor’s Parlour, attended by Councillor Colin Teesdale, Mayor of Bridgend, PDSA Trustee Roger Hills presented the PDSA Certificate for animal bravery to Guide Dog Piper and his proud owner Mrs Sarah CraigHancock. Piper, a black Labrador, received his Certificate for bravery for actions which took place on 27 June 2008 when Piper was attacked by another dog while out walking with his blind owner Sarah Craig-Hancock. Sarah heard Piper yelp in pain but did not know the extent of his injuries. Having been chased by his attacker, Piper later returned to allow Sarah to replace his harness and continue his duties. When they reached home Sarah discovered the dog had an open wound behind his left fore-leg that required several stitches. The wound was in line with his harness which must have made the walk home very painful. “I’m so very proud of Piper,” said Sarah. “He must have been in great pain when I replaced his harness. I wasn’t able to see that he had been injured during the dog attack but he still managed to get me home safely, as if nothing was wrong. I’m so happy PDSA is recognising Piper’s devotion.” Presenting the Certificate for animal bravery, PDSA Trustee Roger Hills said: “Our charity’s founder, Maria Dickin, introduced the idea of recognising bravery in animals and it is something PDSA is proud to continue today. Piper’s devotion to duty, despite the pain of his injuries, is a quality we admire and are proud to reward.” The PDSA Certificate for animal bravery was instituted in 2001and each winner’s story is a unique account of inspiring bravery. Piper is the twelfth recipient. For more details about the PDSA Awards programme go to www. pdsa.org.uk/about-us/animal-bravery-awards

Angler’s Corner by Clint Walker

I received an email this week from Marukyu UK development manager Roy Marlow, who some of our readers (ahem, older readers!) may remember as a world class match angler in days gone by. Roy is now, as his title suggests, is heavily involved with Japanese bait giant Marukyu as the public face of the company within the UK. Anyway, back to the email; I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to attend a Marukyu launch day for new Gel pellets baits known as JPz at Leicestershires Glebe Fishery! The day will involve an introduction to the new release from the companies top bait scientists, before transferring across to the water for a day’s angling alongside some of the most recognisable names in fishing. Jamie Masson and Andy Kinder will both be present in addition to the Marukyu Pro-team who are regularly demolishing the opposition in matches throughout the country when using already established Marukyu products. Roy promises that JPz will represent a major breakthrough in bait technology as a result of more than 10 years of research and hundreds of thousands of pounds of investment. The name JPz is a simple acronym for an extremely complex series of ingredients to attar fish. The new baits promise to stimulate key feeding receptors, whilst remaining ‘angler friendly’. JPz is designed to be able to be used by an angler of any ability and give everyone the same opportunity to catch on any venue. Not only are the new baits fish friendly, they are also environmentally protective as well and offer a wealth of benefits for users. I’m hoping to get down to the event and will obviously report back to the Mercury! For more details of the outstanding range of Marukyu baits, visit www.marukyu.co.uk Also this week, I’ve been in contact with Ian Chapman of Angler’s Mail who asked if I knew anywhere to ‘do’ an article on tench fishing; it just so happens that I do, and I also knew just the chap to do it! Lymm AC water Lymmvale is a renowned tinca venue with a huge head of fish to around 9lbs. I have had a couple of sessions recently, but Mark knows the water inside out and met up with Ian to photograph the piece. Maggot feeder fished on top of a sandbar at medium range over a carpet of bait allowed Mark to catch 19 tench up to 8lbs and means he will now feature in the Angler’s Mail ‘Action Replay’ feature sometime soon. I know Mark was a little nervous as it’s the first time he has had the chance to do an article for a well known publication, but he has handled the pressure superbly and certainly come up with the goods on the day! (There is nothing harder than catching to order!) Read Angler’s Mail each week for the latest venue reports, hints, tips and a host of great ideas to help you catch more fish! Don’t forget to let me know about your favourite venue and tell what you are catching by getting in touch at clint597@btinternet.com

Midweek York cards full of promise followed by Saturday racing from Newbury and Newmarket There is excellent racing during the week as the York May meeting presents the Oaks and Derby trials of the Musidora and Dante Stakes races complemented by some other Group 2 races: the Yorkshire Cup, the Middleton Stakes and the Duke of York Stakes; and a few decent handicaps. For the Musidora I was very sweet on the chances of Chrysanthemum but she has now come out of the race. In her absence the one I like best is the Richard Fahey inmate Barefoot Lady, who ran very well in the 1000 Guineas where she finished a creditable fifth. I think that this form line may prove stronger than the maiden that likely favourite Arizona Jewel won but, as an unexposed animal, the latter may well improve markedly on her second 3yo outing. Aidan O’Brien’s Amazing Beauty has run only on an all-weather surface so far but is well bred and could also step up in this contest. John Gosden’s Joviality and Peter ChappleHyam’s Whey Sauce complete the line-up and are similarly open to improvement. In a quite open-looking contest where all seem to have decent chances Barefoot Lady can prevail. In the Duke of York Stakes, also on Wednesday, I like another Fahey trained animal, Rose Blossom, who clocked a good time behind Gilt Edge Girl in her last outing as a 3yo in the Prix De L’Abbaye at Longchamp. This could well be a successful year for this one and she looks to have a solid chance here. Of the others the selection may have most to fear from Markab who improved last year and finished on a high by landing the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup in September. Genki and Hamish McGonagall are recent winners who look sure to run well and previous course and distance winner Prime Defender cannot be discounted either. On Thursday the Dante, often one of the best Derby trials around, is usually contested by very well regarded horses. This year looks no exception with Henry Cecil’s World Domination being widely tipped for future stardom. I also like the look of Aidan O’Brien’s Seville, although the form of his second to Casamento in the Racing Post Trophy took a bit of a knock in the Guineas. Another with a big home reputation is The Queen’s Carlton House, trained by Sir Michael Stoute. However my top rated animal is Hughie Morrison’s Pisco Sour who had some reasonable form as a 2yo and might well have a better chance than his current 33/1 odds indicate if he has trained on. I make this an intriguing contest with some unexposed horses putting tall home reputations on the line against others with solid 2yo form in the book. Based purely current odds versus chances I am going to go for Pisco Sour in the hope that he can put a dent in the hype horses’ reputations. Seville would be my next choice if he doesn’t run. The Middleton Stakes can go to the Henry Cecil trained Midday, for whom this contest looks tailor-made as a seasonal pipe-opener, and she is a confident selection. On Friday the Yorkshire Cup can go to Manighar, if he turns up. If he doesn’t show then Askar Tau has a perfectly respectable chance. Duncan and Electrolyser look next best. The three day York meeting is followed on Saturday by six TV races from Newbury and Newmarket, the best of which is the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury. For this race I like the chance of the Aidan O’Brien trained Jan Vermeer who ran the best race of his life when third to Bekhabad in the Group 1 Grand Prix De Paris at Longchamp last July. He has been off course since then but, if showing up here fit and well, may make them all go a bit to beat him and could be a reasonable price to do so given the other contestants’ reputations. Canford Cliffs will obviously be a big danger, as will Red Jazz, Dick Turpin, Twice Over and the Italian trained Group 2 winner Worthadd, but my other hope (if Jan Vermeer doesn’t show up) is recent winner Beacon Lodge, who looked to be on good terms with himself last Saturday at Haydock and may also start at a decent price.

Five minutes on and the Rovers won a corner after a good build-up down their left had given O’Connor a strike at goal. The corner kick was played back to Oster on the angle of the penalty area and his terrific shot caught the keeper by surprise at the near post so that he couldn’t hold the ball but it bounced away safely. At the other end Hoyte, coming in from the right, had a go but fired over the bar. In the 57th minute, Reach crossed from the home left, the ball came out to Emnes, coming in from the right but his effort was well blocked. Past the hour and a good run by Kilgallon took him deep into the home half before he fed Sharp on the left. His effort from 25 yards was comfortably saved by Steele. Another good Rovers build-up was finished by Oster trying to chip the goalkeeper from distance but putting over the bar. Then, in the 66th minute, LITA came in from the Middlesbrough left, turned Thomas in the penalty area and fired across Sullivan into the far bottom corner. Back came the Rovers with Sharp and Gilliett combining to give Gillett a crack at goal from close range but it was blocked. Then Emnes again had Sullivan going down to his left to push out for a corner in the 76th minute. The Rovers continued to try for that elusive goal but they couldn’t find a way through to goal. Then in the third minute of added time, with the Rovers caught short at the back, Thomson threaded a ball through to REACH, who slotted past Sullivan for a third goal.

AUTY VOWS TO WIN FITNESS RACE

The Wimborne Road safety fence was wrecked and the meeting had to be abandoned due to the 10pm curfew... and thankfully both riders were able to walk away. Said Auty: “I feel a bit battered and bruised but I will be alright I’m sure. I’m really enjoying my Speedway right now and hopefully we can get a good lead against Edinburgh to take up to Scotland for the return.”

Performance of the Season, with Coppinger again accepting the accolade. The final winner of the evening, which brings to a close another season for Doncaster Rovers in the Championship, was first year youth team midfielder Liam Wakefield, who was presented with the Youth Player of the Season by coach Paul Stancliffe. The evening also included an annual cheque presentation, made by Kevin Kerley, the managing director of local business Solutions 4 Cleaning. Over the past four seasons, Mr. Kerley has pledged to donate £10 for every goal Doncaster Rovers score over the course of the season to local charity PACT, which helps children and their families who are suffering from illnesses such as leukaemia. Rovers goalkeeper Neil Sullivan and Director of Football Mickey Walker, in addition to one of Doncaster’s favourite sons Kevin Keegan, are patrons of the charity. Over the course of the campaign, Doncaster Rovers scored 55 goals; however Mr. Kerley was generous enough to round the figure to the sum of £600 and presented the cheque to patron Neil Sullivan. The awards themselves were just one aspect of a superb evening at Doncaster Racecourse, with the event enjoying a James Bond theme which ran throughout. A delicious three-course meal was enjoyed by all of the Club’s supporters in attendance, with the awards ceremony preceding the opening of blackjack and roulette tables. Although no real money was gambled, guests were allocated a set number of chips, with the winner of the most chips at the end of the evening winning an incredible Aston Martin driving experience at the location where the Bond film Casino Royale was filmed. Music was provided by soul band ‘Big Business’ who successfully got guests on their feet and on the dance floor before a disco took the party into the early hours of the morning.

MOOSE IS ON THE LOOSE ICE HOCKEY By Sarah Youle

Sheffield Steelers have lost their recordbreaking netminder, Ervins Mustukovs. it has been announced that the Odense Bulldogs have confirmed agreeing terms with “Moose”, who set a number of records in the Elite League for shut-outs and other achievements. “We expected this,” said Finnerty, “Moose played so well last year and attracted so much interest not only here but in Europe as well. Denmark is a good move for him, he will certainly be paid very well and it’s the next step up the ladder for him, one step closer to returning home to the KHL which is where we all know he wants to to go.” In another blow for the team, new PlayerCoach Ryan Finnerty is currently laid up at home in Canada with a herniated disc in his spine. Finnerty, who specialises in powerful fast-moving hockey, is hoping to be back on his feet in the UK by mid-summer, and is still working on signings from his sick-bed. Season ticket forms for the 2011-12 season are available online at www.sheffieldsteelers. co.uk, or from the club offices at the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield (0114 242 35 35).

A MISERABLE END IN WALES MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

United’s miserable npower Championship campaign finally came to an end 230 miles from Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon. Two goals from Stephen Dobbie, a penalty from Scott Sinclair and a last minute goal from Leon Britton, who started the season as a Blades player, secured Swansea’s success. Looking to the future, the fixture at the Liberty Stadium did see Micky Adams use five of the FA Youth Cup squad. Sheffield-born goalkeeper Long, 17, made his debut, replacing Simonsen. Boss Adams made a total of three changes with Kozluk and Doyle also recalled. The bench was also youthful with 17-year-old Academy defender Kennedy, Australian utility player Warren and Norwegian midfielder Lokberg included. The formation had also been altered, with 4-5-1 the preferred option. The back four, from the right, was Kozluk, Maguire, Lowry and Mattock, whilst the midfield saw Quinn and Lowton in wide roles with Doyle, Montgomery and Williamson central, leaving Slew in attack on his own. It took just 75 seconds for the home side to test out Long but the youngster dealt with a shot from Dobbie, parrying away for a corner. United, meanwhile, kicking towards the away fans in the first half, threatened with a couple of Quinn crosses, whilst Doyle’s left-footer was just wide but had goalkeeper de Vries diving full length. Play-off contenders Swansea hit back with a number of chances. Kozluk twice threw his body in to block from Sinclair and then Dyer fired over, whilst Lowry prevented Dobbie getting in a shot. The majority inside the Liberty Stadium thought Swansea had opened the scoring with 24 minutes gone when Dyer met Dobbie’s cross at pace but Long anticipated well and clawed the close-range effort away. Slew and Quinn combined to give Williamson a sight of goal but his effort, from the right of the box, was deflected around the post by de Vries. Swansea, however, were still enjoying the majority of possession and made it count on the half hour. Kozluk was penalised for a foul on Sinclair and from the resulting free-kick, DOBBIE curled through a number of bodies, which possibly left Long unsighted. The young goalkeeper did save with his feet from Sinclair, who had been allowed to run from the halfway line, and then, on 40 minutes, Dobbie came close to a second but his first time effort from Rangel’s pull-back curled

just wide. Sinclair was also off target with a long-range effort just before the interval. The first act of the second half was a booking for Williamson, for crudely halting a run by Sinclair. From the set-piece, Dobbie fired over. The Swansea striker was involved, though, as the home side doubled their lead. Kennedy and Harriott were being readied on the touchline when a Swansea move from the right resulted in Lowry illegally blocking Dobbie’s goalbound shot. The defender argued that he had saved the effort with his shoulder but referee Ilderton must have thought it was the loanee’s arm and promptly shown him the red card. SINCLAIR beat Long with the resulting penalty, firing to the goalkeeper’s left. Within minutes Adams had reshuffled his defence and handed a debut to Kennedy, who went straight into the heart of the back four to partner his youth teammate, Maguire. Kozluk shifted to the left and Lowton dropped to right back. Just before Philliskirk was introduced for Slew, DOBBIE was allowed too much space on the edge of the box, turning inside and out before firing past Long at the near post. Kozluk was the next in the book, for a foul on Dyer, whilst there was a comical moment at the midway point. A long-range effort from Williams was just wide but nestled just behind the net, which saw the majority of home fans, their scoreboard operator and the guy who plays the goal music convinced the ball had found the net! With the game over as a contest, Montgomery - on his 300th start for the Blades - made way for youngster Harriott and the captain’s armband was handed to Williamson. In the later stages, Long saved from substitute Gower, Maguire blocked out Dobbie, who then fired over as he searched for his hat-trick. However, the final sting arrived in the final minute when BRITTON netted with a shot from the edge of the box, which bounced under Long. The game was played out in the shadow of some good natured banter between both sets of fans, with many of the Unitedites, who had made the trip to south Wales, kitted out in fancy dress.

A FLICK THROUGH THE A TO Z FANS WEEKLY COLUMN by Jon Warburton

This time last year I gleefully looked to the road map, intent on calculating the mileage our bitter rivals would be clocking up on their (what has proved to be extended) League One tour. Well I am man enough to accept the same needs to be done again this season, unfortunately the boot is now on the other foot. Obviously it is by no means cut and dried just yet as the play-off picture is still yet to be resolved, but by and large the teams that lie in wait are there to be picked through. Starting with something that is conﬁrmed, return trips to the four teams that have been relegated from League One – Dagenham and Redbridge, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth Argyle and Swindon Town – would have amounted to a grand total of 1,594 miles. The teams that had battled against the drop with them including Tranmere Rovers, Walsall and Notts County are all considerably closer, which will hopefully boost our away numbers next season. That is not to say we don’t still have some journeys to make. There is a long old trip down to the real St James’ Park in Exeter and if Bournemouth falter in the play-offs then we will have a trip to the south coast on our hands. Looking to the other end of the table, there would have been a couple more south coast trips on the cards if it hadn’t been for the success of Brighton and Hove Albion and their rivals Southampton who have both returned to the second tier of English football. There is still however, a knot of teams around mid table in that league that will literally see us travel to the absolute extremities of our country. From Carlisle to Colchester and Hartlepool to Yeovil, it is going to be a long old season. And oh, did I forget someone…

WARD TO REMAIN A RAM BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Jamie Ward’s loan spell at Derby County will be made permanent. The 24-year-old forward moved to Pride Park on loan in February and has since played 13 times under Nigel Clough. Derby and the Blades have agreed an undisclosed fee for his services, whilst United have also insisted on a 20 per cent sell-on clause. The deal will be rubber stamped once the transfer window reopens. Ward played 71 times for the Blades after joining from Chesterﬁeld in 2009. He scored just once this season, in the FA Cup defeat against Aston Villa - another of his former clubs.

CHALK AND CHEESE

Gary Megson described his Owls side as “chalk and cheese” following the last-day defeat against Exeter. Wednesday went down 2-1 as the visitors overturned a half time deficit to emerge with all three points from Hillsborough. And Megson said the Owls’ performance typified their form since he was appointed in February: “It was chalk and cheese today. It summed up how we have played since I came here. “Some of the football we played was the best in two months in the first half, particularly in the first 20 minutes. “But in the second half we were poor, gave two goals away and we have lost the game. “When Rob Jones went off, we didn’t look like a defensive unit and it showed.” Megson hailed Jermaine Johnson’s blistering strike that flew past Exeter keeper Artur Krysiak but also reiterated that the pace ace must up his overall game. He added: “Jermaine’s goal was terrific and then he nearly did the same thing a few minutes later. “He was excellent in the first half but then he faded after the break. He has to be more consistent and I’m sure previous managers have said the same thing to him.” Jones and Nicky Weaver left the action early with injury - the defender with a tight hamstring and the goalkeeper with a cut to the head that required 12 stitches.

SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

I took a lot of pride from seeing over 20,000 fans at Hillsborough for our last game of the season on Saturday. I have not been in the Sheffield Wednesday family for long but already I feel completely at home amongst the wonderful supporters we have here. I have fallen in love with Sheffield Wednesday very quickly and as I said when I took over the club last December, I will do everything in my power to take us back where we belong and that is to the Premiership. I was parachuted in, if you like, to save us from administration and I was astonished by how little this club had to operate and exist. So to see the level of support we have here is truly amazing and that gives me so much positive energy to help drive Sheffield Wednesday forward. We all have the same aims and our ambitions will take time to achieve, it will not happen overnight. This season has been really frustrating for me and if I’m honest I will say it has been the most frustrating time of all my years in football. But we will get this right, on and off the pitch. We are making some key changes behind the scenes to give us a very strong infrastructure, with people working with me who understand the football business. That process gives us much better organisation and a stronger base on which to build and move forward. On the field, as ever, I will give full support to our manager so we can recruit the right players over the summer. Gary has given me a list of players he would like to bring to Sheffield Wednesday and Paul Aldridge and I will work as hard as we possibly can to make those signings happen. Of course, I understand that there is a big appetite amongst our supporters and from the media for the names of these players but it would be wrong of me and unfair to start naming names. Our supporters will be the first to know about our new signings when we make them and that is the way it should be. What I can say for sure right now is that we will have a very competitive budget for next season and if our performances on the pitch reflect that budget, let me say we will be in extremely good shape. All I can do is give full support to our manager and his coaching staff and then it is up to them to make all the pieces in the puzzle fit together. I guarantee to all our fans my full commitment because that is what you show to me. Everywhere I go in Sheffield, the people are so warm and friendly and I know exactly what Sheffield Wednesday means to you all. This club belongs to you and you belong to this club and together we will get to where we all want to be.

WANTED

NEW OFFERS FOR OWLS TRIO SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

Shefﬁeld Wednesday will be offering new contracts to Lewis Buxton, Jermaine Johnson and James O’Connor. The club will issue the new contract offers to the players and their agents in due course. Tommy Miller and Richard Hinds, meanwhile, will not be offered new deals. The Owls would like to thank Tommy and Richard for their services and wish them well for the future. Manager Gary Megson said: “There are always difﬁcult decisions to make and if I can help Tommy and Richard in any way possible, I will be more than happy to do so.” Loan recruits Rob Jones, Danny Batth and Neil Mellor have returned to their parent clubs and Wednesday would also like to thank the trio for their services.

MELLOR SCOOPS NPOWER AWARD SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

Neil Mellor has scooped the npower League 1 Player of the Month award for April. The striker fought off strong competition to land his most recent accolade, having been crowned as the Owls Player of the Year earlier this week. Mellor was on target six times in April and helped Wednesday return to winning ways at Hillsborough with a brace against Colchester United. More goals followed as the striker hit the back of the net against Tranmere and Walsall before adding another two goals to his tally against Swindon Town. Owls boss Gary Megson said: “Every team needs a goalscorer and Neil has proved he is capable of that by scoring 20 goals this season. “He had a really good month in April, scoring six goals and has shown his best form for Wednesday since I joined the club in February. “Neil has set that standard, now it is up to him to maintain it.” Well done Neil!
