Sheffield retains ‘Purple Flag’ status Sheffield has once again won a national award for the City Centre Evening & Night-Time Economy that recognises it as a safe and enjoyable place to go for a night out. An award it has held and renewed on an annual basis since 2012.

The Purple Flag award is a scheme that recognises excellence in the evening and nighttime economy and is similar to the Green Flag for parks and green spaces, for which

Sheffield are proud to have sixteen sites with Green Flag status.

The Purple Flag scheme, run by the Association of Town and City Management, is an internationally recognised accreditation with judges assessing the city centre on a range of criteria including: • Personal safety • Cleanliness • Transport • Attractiveness and appeal • Arts and cultural offer

• How welcoming they are • Strength of partnership working Councillor Joe Otten, Chair of the Waste & Street Scene Committee said: “ I’m tremendously proud of all the work council officers, local venues and businesses and the police have put in to making our city centre a great place to visit.

“From music, theatre and the arts to food and drink from all over the world, including investments in safe and

attractive public spaces, we can be really proud of our city.

“This didn’t happen overnight, but by bringing together our collective innovation and planning and by working in partnership, we have been able to create a destination that lights up a city after dark.”

The scheme, which is backed by the Home Office and Association of Chief Police Officers, provides research, training, and development to helps

towns and cities tackle issues such as antisocial behaviour. To be awarded Purple Flag status, the city must demonstrate how it works in partnership and showcase processes in place to minimise any risks identified with the early evening and night-time economy. Purple Flag towns and cities can expect to benefit from lower crime and antisocial behaviour, and more visitors.

Yorkshire Main opens region’s first community Cruyff Court Thanks to funding from Sport England and the Cruyff Foundation Doncaster’s Yorkshire Main Sports and Social Club has opened Yorkshire’s first Cruyff Court thanks to funding from Sport England and the Cruyff Foundation.

The Edlington-based club, home to Yorkshire Main FC and Edlington White Stars JFC, hopes the new £145,000 all-weather multi-use games area will become a hub for the local community, encouraging more children and young people to play sport outdoors.

Following a four-year project, the Yorkshire Main Cruyff Court was officially opened at the end of January by Edlington Town Council’s mayor, Steve Reardon, and Deputy Mayor, Joan Briggs. The court will be available for local schools and community groups to use for free, as well as providing yearround training facilities for local clubs and the 15 adult and junior teams who currently play at the Edlington Lane site.

Scheme Treasurer and Secretary of Edington White Stars JFC, Garry Mosely, who managed the project, said: “We’re excited to see the new Yorkshire Main Cruyff Court in action. It has replaced a twentyyear-old MUGA that hadn’t been used in a decade due to overhanging trees and a poor playing surface.

“Behind the scenes, our trustees and members have worked on how this new facility can be utilised to best serve the local community and ensure that Yorkshire Main Miners Welfare becomes more sustainable in the future.”

Celebrated Ajax and Barcelona player, Johann Cruyff, founded the Cruyff Foundation in his native Netherlands in the late ‘90s to give children the opportunity to play and be active. Cruyff Courts sprung up across Europe, before coming to the UK in 2008. The main aim of a Cruyff Court is to provide a safe place where children and young people can interact with each other socially and develop healthier lifestyles.

The hi-tech, floodlit court will be used primarily for football, with five-a-side nets at either end. But it can also be utilised for other sports. The club has

allocated six hours a week for community groups and schools to use the court free of charge, which will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Yorkshire Main FC manager, Paul Roidl, has developed an online booking system to manage the court.

The lion’s share of the funding, £85,000, came through Sport England who had ringfenced £3million to regenerate facilities in coalfield communities. Since the closure of Yorkshire Main colliery in 1985, the old pit site has been reclaimed for sports and social use. The club itself put £10,000 into the Cruyff Court project, with a further £50,000 awarded from the Cruyff Foundation.

Due to the Covid pandemic, plans were put on hold for two years. However, after a six-week build by Mansfield-based contractors, AS Sports Systems, the new Cruyff Court was finished before Christmas.

Garry says the club hopes to create an on-site café to run alongside the sports and social club, known locally as The Welly. He is also positive the new court will improve youth football participation by building stronger links with schools, developing a solid pathway from the under 18s to men’s first team, and introducing the Weetabix Wildcats programme to add girls’ football to their offer.

For more information on the Cruyff Court or for booking enquiries, please contact Paul Roidl at cruyffcourtyorkshire@gmail.com or call 01709 869460

New exhibition to celebrate the centenary of Flying Scotsman Flying Scotsman, the world’s most famous steam locomotive, turns 100 in February 2023. It was built at Doncaster Works and went into service on 24 February 1923. Synonymous with the golden age of rail travel, it is renowned as a feat of design and engineering.

Events will be taking place, across Doncaster and throughout the year, to mark this significant milestone.

Cllr Nigel Ball, Cabinet Member for Public Health, Leisure, Culture and Planning said: “Doncaster has an incredible rail heritage and we will always be proudly associated with Flying Scotsman which is considered the most famous locomotive in the world.

“We have an exciting programme of events with our schools, museums and libraries and for members of the public to get involved with, to learn more about this iconic loco and its strong links to our city.

“Flying Scotsman is scheduled to stop at a number of places in Yorkshire this year. However, we of course want to see Flying Scotsman here in Doncaster, at its birthplace, so we are in discussions with the National Rail Museum, and other parties, to negotiate a potential visit.”

Cllr Ball added: “The exhibition is a wonderful way to begin our celebratory events with a first opportunity to view the full collection of original watercolours

by Michael Foreman from the new book Flying Scotsman and the Best Birthday Ever.”

Flying Scotsman and the Best Birthday Ever (Thames & Hudson) - written by Michael Morpurgo, one of UK’s best-loved authors and storytellers and illustrated by Michael Foreman – was published in October 2022 to kick off the centenary celebrations. It tells the story of a little girl who dreams of driving Flying Scotsman when she grows up.

The special exhibition at Danum Gallery Library and Museum will be opening on 11 February.

Michael Foreman, an internationally renowned, multi award-winning children’s book illustrator and author, said: “I am very honoured to have been invited to exhibit my work at The Danum Gallery to celebrate this anniversary and the publication of Flying Scotsman and the

Best Birthday Ever. There can be no more fitting venue for the exhibition than Doncaster, the birthplace of Flying Scotsman.”

The programme of Flying Scotsman events taking place in Doncaster is available to view at www.dglam.org.uk/whats-on/ flying-scotsman Flying Scotsman is now a star attraction in the collection of the National Railway Museum (part of the Science Museum Group) in York, where it is a working museum exhibit.

During the centenary year, the general public will have the chance to see Flying Scotsman at several locations across the country. More information is available at www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/flying-scotsman

South Yorkshire’s Mayor announces Inquiry to protect regional infrastructure South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard has announced plans for an independent Inquiry to help protect strategic infrastructure in South Yorkshire.

The Inquiry was triggered by the decision of Peel Group to close Doncaster Sheffield Airport last year and follows an unsuccessful appeal for judicial review of their decision by Doncaster Council.

The Inquiry will look at whether new powers, policies or laws are needed to protect similar and new infrastructure projects in the future, at the local, national, and regional level – including through our devolution settlement. Its findings are expected to hold lessons for places outside of South Yorkshire, feeding into the national conversation about regional economies and powers.

It will be chaired by respected lawyer, business, civic leader and a former High Sheriff of South Yorkshire, Martin McKervey.

South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard said: “What happened to our airport should never have been allowed, and yet we did not have the ability to stop it from happening. We were at the mercy of a private company over whom we had no control, and a government in London who refused to intervene. That simply can’t be allowed to happen again.

“Increasingly, we are talking about how proper devolution might work in this country. For me, proper devolution has to mean putting power in the hands of our communities so we can build the type of economy we want for our region and have proper democratic control over the infrastructure we all rely on.

“South Yorkshire has lost two airports in ten years.

Despite the millions of investments and the years of support our region poured into DSA, when push came to shove we simply didn’t have the powers, money or

control we needed to stop it from being closed and mothballed.

“We need to urgently look at how we shift the balance of power back into the hands of our communities, so we can protect economically essential assets and infrastructure now and into the future. That’s why I welcome this inquiry and look forward to its recommendations.”

Doncaster Council has announced that they are pursuing a Compulsory Purchase Order for the Airport.

The Inquiry’s scope will be defined so as to prevent its work being in any way prejudicial to ongoing legal action surrounding the Airport. The Inquiry’s recommendations should ensure that any future airport’s operations are more secure than those that have come before.

Inquiry chair, Martin McKervey said: “The strong feelings of business and the local community over Doncaster Sheffield Airport’s closure show that - whilst due process is of course to be respected - it is clearly not enough in itself to ensure private decisions and regional ambitions are aligned.

“It is therefore right that independent experts - trusted by business, the community and a wide range of stakeholders - come together to review what more can be done to protect our critical infrastructure and economic assets.”

The Inquiry will be led by the independent chair, with a secretariat provided by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority at arm’s length to maintain independence, in line with the model of a central government Inquiry.

The review will be impartial, transparent, and will take evidence from community groups, businesses, business organisations, stakeholders, institutions, and members of the public including political leaders. A full Terms of Reference document will be agreed by the chair and members of the Inquiry team and published in due course.

The review is expected to consider: the policy context shaping commercial decision-making over assets identified as of regional strategic significance, like Doncaster Sheffield Airport; the division of powers across different tiers of government to support such assets; and recommendations to local, regional, and national government on how to prevent the abrupt closure of such assets in the future.

Have you had an accident that wasn’t your fault?

Consult our Personal Injury Department – our lawyers have settled thousands of claims from £1,000 to several million pounds.

Did the accident happen: In a warehouse? On a building site?

In a shop? Or in an office?

12 top Tips for cyber security spreading the love sheffield’s

According an ONS crime survey conducted between October 2021 and March 2022, 50% of 31,204 respondents received a phishing message in the month prior to being asked. Of these, 32% of fraudsters pretended to be banks, building societies and other financial institutions asking for sensitive information. With this in mind, cybersecurity experts have compiled a list of 12 safety tips to ease the wary online banker’s mind. They have also highlighted the possible risks of online banking to keep you vigilant of any dangers.

What are the possible dangers of online banking? Financially motivated cybercrime, using malware and phishing, is growing at a rapid pace. In fact, by 2023, the number of internet users is set to increase by 275%, creating more targets for online banking fraudsters.

Malware Cybercriminals can use malware like spyware to break into your phone or computer and potentially steal your banking details. Cybercriminals can use a keylogger to track your keystrokes and steal your banking login details as you are typing them.

Phishing Phishing is where a cybercriminal attempts to obtain someone’s sensitive information by pretending to be a party this person trusts, such as a bank. It is essential to stay vigilant and remember: it is highly unlikely that your bank will ask you for login details, PIN codes or confidential information.

12 online banking safety tips 1. Be wary of transfers: Only transfer money to parties you trust. Money transfers cannot usually be reversed without the explicit permission of the

receiving party.

2. Use a unique password and login details: Make sure your banking login details are different from your other online portals or services; it is much safer to have a different password for your bank if a hacker gains access to your device. The most secure password you can create will be at least ten characters long, containing a minimum of one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one symbol.

It would be best if you considered changing your password to a new unique password every six months.

3. Keep login details safe: Do not give your online banking login details to anyone. If you receive a phone call or an email asking for you to enter your banking login details, sensitive information or PIN codes, this could be a phishing scam.

4. Use fingerprint and face ID: Make use of the newest technology when it comes to signing into your online banking apps. Using a fingerprint or Face ID login is much safer than the traditional username and password.

Another security measure to consider is using twofactor authentication, essentially providing two methods of logging in.

5. Update apps: Ensure your device’s operating system is up-to-date. The same goes for your online banking app if you use one. The best practice is to configure your settings to update all updates automatically.

6. Never click on suspicious hyperlinks: If you receive an email or a text from a number or address you don’t recognise that contains a hyperlink, don’t click on it. Do not download any files they may contain.

7. Be wary of suspicious

TRAVEL INSURANCE WORLDWIDE POLICIES SINGLE TRIP UP TO 99 YEARS Annual multi trip up to 85 years (inc)

CALL 0151 334 2600 QUOTING ‘THE MERCURY’ UK, EUROPE OR WORLDWIDE

emails: Cybercriminals may send you a convincinglooking email with your bank’s logo and a professional-looking layout. If this email asks for sensitive information, including your password, login details or PIN code, delete this email.

8. Check HTTPS connection: Always ensure the website you visit has a secure HTTPS connection before you log in to your online banking account.

Many browsers show whether your connection to a certain website is secure. Some of these browsers may display a padlock symbol inside the address bar indicating the safety of a website’s connection. If the connection isn’t secure, do not share any personal details with that page.

9. Install antivirus software: Install antivirus software on your device to protect yourself from malware and viruses. The best antivirus programs will offer a built-in firewall, that provides a barrier between a trusted network and an untrusted network.

10. Be wary of phishing: If you suspect you have come across a potential phishing email or call that claims to have been sent by your bank, contact your bank immediately to notify them. If they do not know about this request, you were likely almost a victim of a phishing scam.

11. Check your banking app frequently: Frequently check your online bank for peculiar activities and alert your bank of any transactions that you don’t recognise.

12. Trust your gut: Ultimately, if something doesn’t feel quite right as you’re transferring a payment or entering sensitive details, trust your gut and don’t continue. A spokesperson commented: “By taking charge of your own online safety, you can prove to your bank that you are not negligent and are more likely to be reimbursed if something bad happens.”

While most people’s thoughts turn to romance this Valentine’s Day, South Yorkshire & North Derbyshire Oddfellows is inviting people to fix up a friendship date instead.

The friendly society, a non-profit group which hosts regular active and social events across the region, says romance is great but it’s not the only way to make you feel more energised and valued.

Friendships can be just as rewarding as romantic relationships and can support good mental health and wellbeing.

experiences that lift our spirits, friendships offer a vital support network for when times get tough, prevent loneliness, and perhaps most importantly, help individuals recognise their own self-worth.

We also appreciate that if you’ve lost someone close, Valentine’s Day can be a difficult time of year.

We say come and have a lovely time with us at one of our meet-ups. A warm welcome is waiting.”

South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire Oddfellows’ friendship group has more than 700 local members, mainly older adults. It meets regularly for social get-togethers and offers support and advice when members might need it. Diana Vickerman from Rotherham, who has been a member of the group for nearly 20 years, added: “Our Branch is very sociable and we always have lots of interesting and fun activities in the diary, too many to choose from sometimes! Over the years, I have made many lifelong friends and when we meet up we always have such a lovely time.

I’d encourage everyone to come and give our next event a go. You can never have enough friends!”

version of the repair shop opens!

Volunteers are finding that it is not only the vacuum cleaners, furniture and jeans that are being repaired at a new social enterprise in Sheffield, but their own levels of confidence, wellbeing and sense of purpose.

Reyt Repair opened in Abbeyfield Park House in October 2022 as a volunteer-powered repair shop helping the owners of broken things where before it may not have been cost effective or made economic sense to get something repaired.

Fixing electricals, furniture and clothes, for £10 if it’s a simple fix, or £20 per hour if its longer, volunteers are gathering in Pitsmoor with screwdrivers and sewing machines to tackle repair jobs, and at the same tackle bigger issues such as the cost of living crisis and environmental concerns for a throwaway culture where gadgets are just not designed to be repaired. So far, amongst the everyday items, some objects brought in for repair wouldn’t be out of place on the BBC’s The Repair Shop, including a chair from a 1920’s Paris cinema, a sewing machine from the 1800’s and a Tiffany lamp to the war papers from 1890.

Gareth Coleman, the founder of Reyt Repair, has been repairing computers for years and has seen similar ventures and repair cafés popping up around the country.

His social enterprise is based around harnessing the time and skills of volunteers. Gareth, who has also held

Most repairs are uneconomic, hence the reason why we use volunteers.”

But Reyt Repair needs more volunteers if it is to become sustainable.

“Anyone who is skilled and wants to help,” Gareth says. “Retirees, men who want to get out of the house, asylum seekers who are waiting on a claim, the underemployed, anyone with skills or hobbies that can be put to use.”

As well as the actual fixing and mending, Reyt Repair is also focused on the social side - gathering in the community hub, the training, workshops and sharing of skills. Loath to turn away a prospective fix for a customer, Gareth adds: “It is very rewarding. Sometimes it is a real puzzle where reality has thrown down the gauntlet. I enjoy the puzzle of fixing, and when you add that to helping other people, there’s a kind of multiplier effect. Saving people money, saving the environment.”

The volunteers value the opportunity too, often being revalidated for their skills. Volunteer John, whose career began as an electrical apprentice and saw him working as an engineer at Abbey Road Studios, said that coming to Reyt Repair was all about boosting his confidence. Looking up from fixing a Braun

cassette deck, John said: “This is my therapy. It gives me something to get out of the house for.”

Reyt Repair has received support from the Social Enterprise Exchange project which promotes social entrepreneurship and provides support for start-up and established social enterprises through grants, mentoring and specialist advice. The consortium has worked with over 1,000 social entrepreneurs and social enterprises over the last five years in South Yorkshire and the Sheffield City Region.

Social Enterprise Exchange is part-funded

by European Regional Development Fund 20142020 and The National Lottery Community Fund.

Fired up with an idea and having undertaken lots of research, Gareth gained from going on Social Enterprise Exchange workshops.

He said: “I found it pretty validating and it helped to develop the structure of the business. I enjoyed the networking too, learning about others.

And the business experts were really “on it” bang, bang, bang, with information and advice.”

Future plans for Reyt Repair include taking on a community tool bank, running more workshops to teach people basic repairs, having a coordinator to look after the volunteers, and launching an online shop to sell repaired donated items.

Review at Hillsborough Stadium concludes A review at Hillsborough Stadium over concerns about crowd movements has concluded, stating that all aspects of safety at the stadium complied fully with the club’s Safety Certificate, Minor recommendations were made relating to the overall matchday experience.

The review was commissioned by Sheffield City Council and Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, with oversight from the Sports Ground Safety Authority after concerns were raised relating to the match between Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle United on Saturday 7 January.

As part of the review the group reached out to Newcastle United supporters who attended the fixture, liaised with partner agencies, examined matchday records and scrutinised CCTV images.

A review of the crowd management procedures implemented by the club on the day, together with revisiting associated capacity calculations, was also carried out.

Councillor Joe Otten, Chair of the Waste and Street Scene Committee, said: “Public safety is our priority; we work together with governing bodies and our local clubs to make sure everyone attending matches is safe. We understand that fans are going to feel concerned if they feel like there is overcrowding, so it’s our responsibility to ensure that we don’t put people in that position - where concerns are raised, we take them very seriously.

“We have carried out a thorough review looking at all the evidence available as well as speaking to fans, officials and stewards who were present on the day. We’ve also reviewed all matchday operation plans.

“Our findings show full compliance at the stadium and no issues relating to the matchday operation. Some minor changes have been identified to improve the overall experience.

“As is normal procedure, we will continue working together, carrying out routine checks and sharing plans and knowledge to make sure everyone on site is safe and has the best experience possible.”

The concerns raised were also subject to review by the Safety Advisory Group who agreed with the findings. The FA and EFL have also been notified of observations from the fixture, with no additional requirements asked of the club or at the stadium.

Sheffield Wednesday Chief Operating Officer Liam Dooley, said: “We welcome the outcome of this review as the welfare of all supporters and everyone inside the stadium is our utmost priority. We would reiterate that

the stewarding numbers within the visitors’ section of the stadium for the Newcastle fixture exceeded the requirements of the Safety Certificate.

“The Newcastle ticket allocation also complied completely with the Safety Certificate.

“We continuously review our safety management plans and ensure the correct measures are in place for every fixture at Hillsborough. Extensive planning meetings with relevant stakeholders are held before each game, with equally extensive review meetings thereafter. While we have full confidence in our matchday operations, we welcome feedback on an ongoing basis as to how we can improve the experience for supporters and listen to any concerns raised as a matter of course. We have worked closely with Sheffield City Council and the respective sports governing bodies in conducting a robust review of the Newcastle United fixture and are pleased that the findings support the confidence we have in our procedures. Some minor recommendations will be implemented to ensure we continue to deliver the best possible matchday experience.”

KING REACH FOR S CLUB 7 TICKETS GREENE BECOMES PREFERRED SUPPLIER TO THE CIU After months of speculation, S Club 7, one of the most successful British pop groups of all time, have today announced they are returning for a reunion tour in celebration of their 25-year legacy, arriving at Utilita Arena Sheffield Saturday, 14 October 2023.

The S Club 7 Reunited tour will see all seven members – Bradley, Hannah, Jo, Jon, Paul, Rachel, and Tina – come together for an 11date arena tour across the UK and Ireland. Speaking on coming back together, the band said: “After eight years it feels amazing to announce that we’re reuniting and performing together again. We’re so excited to bring the S Club Party back to our fans across the country to celebrate 25 years of S Club 7. We can’t even believe it’s been so long! Music and friendship have always been at the core of everything that we’ve ever done. We hope everyone can join

us for one big party!!”

They recorded 4 studio albums, released 11 singles that all entered the Top 5 UK charts, and went on to sell over 10 million albums worldwide.

The band’s celebrity status was also cemented with their TV shows; Miami 7 and L.A. 7 became recordbreaking favourites on children’s TV and were watched by more than 90 million people in over 100 countries – L.A. 7 remains the highest rating programme of all time on CBBC.

With 4 multi-platinum selling albums, 2 BRIT Awards, and 9 number-one international hit singles to their name, S Club 7 are a household name that are once again ready to rise.

BLADES EASE PAST SWANSEA WE STOOD FIRM - MOORE United cruised to their first victory of February, with Swansea City comfortably beaten at Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon.

Sander Berge and Jack Robinson scored at crucial times in the first half to put the Blades in the ascendency and Oli McBurnie’s late goal made sure another three points were added to the ever increasing tally.

Boss Heckingbottom made two changes from the starting XI that featured at Rotherham. Sharp started with McBurnie named on the bench, whilst McAtee replaced Osborn, as Fleck was named in the matchday 18 for the first time since November.

The opening ten minutes saw the visitors frustrate the Blades without really threatening, with Piroe testing Foderingham on the angle, with the goalkeeper having to be alert have fumbled the initial effort to deny Cullen on the rebound. But the game burst into life in United’s favour on 21 minutes

as BERGE slotted home showing great composure with Bogle and then McAtee involved in the build-up.

Having broken the deadlock, United went looking for a second to seize control of the game, Sharp saw a deflected shot claimed by Fisher, before Ndiaye’s header was claimed by the Swans stopper who had initially found himself out of position from Sharp’s cross.

But with the last meaningful action of the first period, the Blades deservedly doubled their lead. Norwood’s free-kick rattled the crossbar with Fisher beaten and, on the rebound, ROBINSON struck home a beautifully timed left-footed half-volley.

The second half lacked any fluency, not aided, but a number of soft free kicks, with McAtee and Cabango both cautioned, prior to worryingly skipper Sharp limping off the field, with McBurnie replacing him and almost having an immediate impact with a back post header.

At the other end, Cooper should have done better when through on goal after good work by Piroe, but Foderingham wasn’t for beating and from a corner moments later, Cabango headed over at rhe near post. Wood was booked for a horrible tackle on McBurnie, before Robinson struck the post with a volley from Norwood’s free kick.

But on 89 minutes, United deservedly added a third,

as MCBURNIE tapped home from close-range after Swansea had failed to halt Bogle and then Osborn’s progress, as United continued their impressive run.

Blades: Foderingham, Berge (Coulibaly 90), Sharp (McBurnie 71), Egan, Lowe (Fleck 90), Ahmedhodzic, Norwood, Robinson, Bogle (Basham 90), McAtee, Ndiaye.

Unused: Davies, Clark.

saw a couple of dangerous crosses cleared away, before the biggest talking point arrived on the half hour mark. Just after Sophie Barker’s corner hit the crossbar, the ball then appeared to be cleared off the line by the hand of Elisha N’Dow, but despite the referee and linesman being in consultation, nothing was given despite the protests of every United player.

It mattered little though five minutes later when Walters struck the decisive blow. United broke forward and when Barker played in the striker, the Wales international calmly found

the bottom corner.

United took that momentum into the second half as Alethea Paul saw an early free-kick well blocked, before Walters saw a freekick of her own fly just past the post and Barker saw an effort well saved from the edge of the box. United brought on Mia Enderby for pace on the counter and it remained United on top as Walters headed just over the crossbar. Tamara Wilcock,

Rhema Lord-Mears and Ellie Wilson were all introduced late on as Charlton’s biggest chance went just wide through Alex Hennessy.

Several balls into the Blades box were brilliantly dealt with by Fran Stenson who kept her first clean sheet on her home debut, and Wilcock had a chance to wrap it up deep into seven added minutes but was denied by a good save from Sian Rogers.

of indecision and led to a third chance for us, so we had three bites at it to go and score.

“We’ve come down here to a difficult place and we’ve put in a solid performance, and we’ve come away with a point.

“When the home fans were in full voice and it looked like they had momentum, we stood firm and credit to the players for that.”

Wednesday lost four players with illness and injury less than a day before clash with the Tractor Boys, and Moore

was pleased with how his side coped in their absence.

He added: “In the last 24 hours, Lee Gregory had a bit of tonsillitis, Jack Hunt had a collision in training and had a dead leg, and Mallik Wilks limped out

yesterday with a bit of a calf injury. And Reece James also had a bit of soreness. Credit to the players because they had to deal with that, losing four players. Hopefully on Tuesday we’ll have two or three of them back.”

ANOTHER STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

UNITED WOMEN RECORD MUCH NEEDED WIN United Women recorded a much-needed win at home to Charlton Athletic thanks to a strike from Georgia Walters just before the break.

In a hard-fought match with several feisty challenges, United deservedly came on top and fought until the end through seven minutes of added time to hold on for a crucial win.

The Blades made two changes as Maddy Cusack and Sophie Haywood came into the starting line-up, but the game took some time to get going as neither team created too much early on.

Bex Rayner and Walters

Darren Moore gave credit to his players following the Owls’ 2-2 draw with Ipswich at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon.

Wednesday went two goals up through Michael Smith and George Byers, but the hosts levelled terms in the second half, and the gaffer was pleased with his side’s resilience in Suffolk.

Moore said: “To go two goals ahead, with two great goals from Michael Smith and George Byers, was really good.

Millers Boss Matt Taylor was satisfied with his side’s hard-working display at relegation rivals, Blackpool, but he felt the Millers were worthy of the three points on the west coast.

“I have mixed emotions. I was disappointed at halftime. It was a competitive match. They were up and at us. They were direct and physical in their play.

“We were much improved in the second half but for the crossbar and the post and a goalkeeping save, we were a little short. In the second half, we were

much more in control.

“They have not created too much. That is four games and we’ve only conceded one goal, so the players are looking really solid, defensively. This is a really difficult place to come.

It was an uncomfortable game. We could have been more comfortable in terms of our play. We are competing, matching the opposition and putting bodies on the line.

“We were trying to win the game in the end as you saw from the substitutions.

We just needed one of those moments.”

Schofield believes Molyneux’s confidence will soar Danny Schofield believes Luke Molyneux’s first two goals for Rovers have the power to rapidly grow his confidence in the final third.

The winger ended his search for a first goal for the club at 27 matches after netting at Swindon Town on Saturday - and repeating the feat again two minutes later.

And head coach Schofield has backed Molyneux to push on further in the coming weeks.

“I’m really pleased with the last two performances. To get two wins and two clean sheets is credit to the effort the players are putting in.”

“I think we controlled a lot of the game. We didn’t have a lot of the ball but I think with all

that Swindon had, we controlled where we wanted them to put the ball and that is down to a collective effort.

“They were two outstanding finishes from Luke Molyneux. We know he’s capable of that. They were his first two goals for the club and hopefully that will give him a lot of confidence and belief going forward.”

“I thought it was excellent movement from George Miller in the back of the defender. He took his time and then he played a pass that told Luke to just hit it. We speak about it a lot, the weight of passes to arrive and finish things first time. That’s what happened and he fully deserved those two goals.

“It’s a strange one because you don’t know

how much to mention things - like come on Molly, you need a goal so let’s do extra training, let’s do extra finishing sessions. That can almost build up the doubt rather than just coming away from it, letting him be free and just play.

“That’s what we’ve done over the last few weeks but it’s all down to him for persevering. It’s football and hopefully those two goals can take his confidence to a new level.”

“I think so. Some performances have been really positive and we’ve followed it up with not so good results. We just need to be consistent with our performances.

We speak about belief and a togetherness first and foremost as well as trying to win the

fundamental things first that will allow us to play our game of football.

We’re just looking for that and consistency and hopefully we can gain a lot of confidence from the last two games.”

“I think result-wise, it’s right up there. Coming away to a Swindon team who are very good, they’ve got some very good players and play the game in a certain way.

“Defensively, the performance was very good. Can we be better with the ball? I think so. Can we make better decisions? I think so.

“But I can’t fault the lads’ effort, application, the way they implemented the game plan, particularly in defence.”

jersey a Perfect Island Break

As part of the British Isles but only 14 miles from the French coast.

Jersey has a unique feel about it, you can be eating a traditional cream tea one minute and smelling the tantalising aromas of French cuisine the next!

Jersey boasts some of the best beaches in the world to enjoy, there’s also lots of other things to do if you want to explore the island. There’s the WW11 bunkers and the not-to-be-missed underground war hospital, along with three castles to delve into.

Your hotel for 7-nights is the ideally located Hotel Normandie, in Jersey’s capital of St. Hellier. We include bed, breakfast, and evening meal. The hotel is in close walking distance of shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants and has an enviable position overlooking the bay of St. Clement with its sandy beach and promenade. The hotel has a sun terrace, bar, its own pub next door, plus an indoor pool and jacuzzi.
