Continued from Page One They say that whilst they continue to be without brick built premises for over a decade this is an insult to the 33,000 residents living in the area and they will continue to take whatever steps they are able in their bid to achieve a college education worthy of their children.

One spokesperson told the Leader that despite a statement from the Valencia Department of Education indicating that investments in such buildings are most unlikely due to the current economic situation “we know that schools are still being built in the community, in places where portable classrooms have been installed for a much shorter period than here on the Orihuela Costa. We have no choice but to continue our protest at what we consider to be the neglect of community leaders of all political persuasions who continue to ignore the central needs in terms of infrastructure and services that are vital to us here on the Orihuela Costa. None of us can understand why such a densely populated area has only one brick build school.”

But the Leader understands that the current protests now go well beyond those which started off as a demonstration against the school fabric. With the gradual decline in the local expatriate population leading to a reduction in the number of children current in full time education there now comes with it the threat of job losses amongst school staff. Coupled with cuts in education budgets across the

Monday, 22nd April, 2013 whole community and the fact that, despite Government warnings regarding the absolute necessity of obtaining La Ponencia, the qualification needed by anyone wishing to enter into the education system, teachers are now joining in with the demonstrations to protest at job losses.

We are all well aware that quality education is required, to enable persons, societies and nations to acquire the skills and competencies required for living meaningfully in a competitive world. The teacher is central point of the whole educational programme and teaching is said to be nation building activity.

Without the support of good teachers this cannot be done.

Teachers must be skilled and in possession of the necessary qualifications to carry out such tasks, something about which the government are becoming increasingly vocal.

For many years, whilst there has been a shortfall in teaching staff, the government has turned a ‘blind eye’ to the many recent entrants into the profession who are without the necessary qualifications. A little over a year ago, however, they gave a 12

Leader Media month period of grace, as they issued notice that those without La Ponencia must take early steps to qualify.

In many cases the warning seems to have gone unheeded and now, with the threat of redundancies looming, it would appear to be those individuals without the qualification, the vast majority in the primary

school system, which will be the first such staff to be targeted. As such the school demonstrations appear to be gathering pace.

The parent’s won´t give up, nor will the children or their teachers. Only time will tell how this action will reflect on the generations of the future, the decision makers, the scientists, the doctors of tomorrow, if they are not able to get the education they need.

But what is really disturbing is the apparent lack of local political support, regardless of party, any politician who might be willing to join with the parents and teachers, to stand up for their plight, representing them through local and regional government circles as they continue to fight for a decent standard of education for their children.

We all remember 2011 when so many promised so much in the lead up to the local and national elections, but where are those politicians now? Many parents feel they have been let down and have lost any respect they might have had for their chosen representatives, who they now feel have used them to get a vote and are no longer there to support them on the ground for the most basic of human rights.

BRITISH MINESWEEPER EXERCISING OFF CABO ROIG

HMS Cattistock is currently halfway through a fourmonth NATO mission in the Mediterranean.

There has been rather more activity off the Costa in recent days as a total of twelve warships and two aircraft from Spain, France, Turkey and the UK, took part in a multinational exercise in the waters between Alicante and Cartagena this week, under the codename, “Spanish Minex-13”.

The main cluster of activity was off the coast from Cabo de Palos to Cabo Roig, when the ships then remained docked at Cartagena for the weekend.

The teams are all involved in anti-mine exercises, training in methods to protect merchant traffic and encouraging working relationships between the operating countries.

Spanish Commander Juan José García Fernández led the 500 strong military force, with minesweepers “Segura”, “Sella” and “Duero”, submarine “Galerna”, auxiliary ship “Mar Caribe”, patrol boats “Infanta Cristina”, “Toralla” and “Formentor”, a helicopter and Cesna plane, along with the French and Turkish vessels and “HMS Cattistock” from the UK. The mines used in the 'Spanish Minex-13' are simulated submarine models which are completely harmless and safe for the environment.

They will all be gathered up at the end of exercise.

REPUBLICAN FLAG PAINTED ON ORIHUELA HILLSIDE Orihuela residents woke up on Monday morning to find that a Republican Flag had been painted on the side of the walls surrounding the front of the city’s Diocesan Seminary.

Councillor Antonia Moreno said that the authorities were treating the painting as an act of vandalism and she was reporting the matter to the National police. She said that she will ensure that steps are taken to paint over the flag, the cost of which will met from municipal funds. She added that the image has been painted onto a natural stone wall so returning it to it’s natural form could prove rather more expensive than originally thought.

The painting appeared on the anniversary of the proclamation of the Second Republic.

This is not the first time that such manifestations have appeared in public spaces. The most recent occasion was just a few weeks ago when the Orihuela shield appeared overnight in the bed of the Segura with the acronym MRP, the Popular Resistance Movement.

Moreno said that had supporters of the Second Republic requested a commemoration of the anniversary she would have granted permission so the decision to celebrate it in such a disturbing way was totally unnecessary.

“But now the wall painting is there and the council has no choice but to deal with the cleaning costs which could be substantial, because we will have to use a gun to clean the natural sand stone,"

concluded Moreno.

It is understood that the city has adjusted the night time routes of its local police officers to ensure that the area around the seminary is regularly patrolled.

BRITISH MAN DIES IN EXCAVATOR INCIDENT

A British man, said to be in his 60´s, has died from injuries sustained when he fell into a hole, to a depth of four meters, while working with a excavator in an agricultural area of La Solana, in the Sella area of Alicante.

The incident occurred at around 20:25 on Tuesday evening when, for reasons under investigation, the victim drove a mini agricultural digger into a nearby ditch.

As a result of the fall of some four metres, and according to preliminary investigations, the man could have been crushed or thrown by the vehicle, although the exact circumstances of the incident have not been clarified.

The deceased suffered several bruises on his head, in addition to hands and legs. A SAMU ambulance attended the scene and medics worked hard to sustain life, then transferring the man to hospital, where he later died.

ALICANTE JEW ELRY ROBBERY BAGS 100,000 EUROS

An Alicante jeweler was robbed of gold and jewelry to the value of 100,000 euros at the weekend when thieves broke into his premises through and adjacent building.

Located in the district of Pla, the criminals dug their way into the jewelers through a hole from a storage room in a nearby bar. Once inside, they took their time to select only quality items which an initial estimate values at approaching 100,000 euros.

“The gold alone was worth about 60,000 euros,” said a spokeperson, “but they didn’t stop there.

They've taken everything, including orders that we had and customer arrangements, silver and watches. It's a total disaster," she explained, in tears.

The criminals were able to break into a heavy safe where the jeweler kept her items of higher value with the use of a thermal lance.

The police confirmed that the theft appeared to be the work of professionals who they say knew the detail of the shop.

The premises closed at lunchtime on Saturday and did not reopen until Tuesday morning, during which time the break in was carried out. "No one heard anything. They had everything very well planned, "said the lady who runs the business with her husband. Indeed, it was the husband who discovered the break in when he arrived at the shop last Tuesday morning, located at number 6 Calle Felipe Herrero Arias.

“We have been running this shop for over 20 years,” he said. “The previous owners had the business for over 25 years and never in all that time has anything like this happened before.”

The National Police has now taken charge of the investigation, with the aim of identifying and apprehending the criminals. They suggested that the theft might have been made rather easier to carry out because of the ongoing roadworks in the street outside which might have covered over the sound of drilling being carried out inside the building.

A Scientific unit team visited the jeweler on Tuesday to gather possible information.

COSTA NEWSBITES The singer Isabel Pantoja has been sentenced to two years imprisonment and given a fine in excess of one million euro, for an offense of money laundering, although she has escaped prison on account of a clean record previously, while the former mayor of Marbella, Julián Muñoz, has been sentenced to seven years for money laundering and passive bribery, being incarcerated immediately without bail. His exwife, Maite Zaldívar, has also been sentenced to three years, three months and one day in prison for money laundering. All have also been given heavy fines. Unrelated to this case, Pantoja faced controversy having performed a concert in Torrevieja in 2012 in which 1,374 tickets were sold, with the singer charging 88,000 euro for the performance, the promotion company allegedly making a huge loss on the event, with questions

over the funding and profiteering of that event being raised.

and then hitting his head. The man was transferred to hospital by ambulance where he was treated for his injuries.

The driver of a Hyundai car caused panic on the Alicante to Murcia motorway on Thursday after driving for 5 kilometres along the wrong side of the road, into oncoming traffic. The Guardia Civil gave chase along the correct side of the road, before the car left the motorway, having swerved and crossed lanes to avoid a number of head on collisions, in the Elche area. The vehicle and driver managed to evade capture, and the police are now investigating the reasons for the incident, as the car was not registered as stolen.

Police officers in Alicante have arrested a 40 year old habitual offender, believed to have assaulted and robbed five women in the area in the last two months. A 37 year old man has also been arrested for the offence of receiving stolen goods from the alleged perpetrator of the robberies. Praying on the doorways of his victims, during night and day, threatening his victims with a knife was a common denominator in the crimes, before robbing the women, sometimes having forced them into their homes.

The son of PSOE Cllr Antonia Moreno claims on his ‘Twitter Account’ that he had been promised a summer job as a lifeguard on the beaches of the Orihuela Costa despite the fact that no contract has yet been awarded.

Needless to say, the opposition PP spokesperson, Pepa Ferrando, is already asking how such a promise can have been made when nothing is yet known regarding lifeguard service contracts.

Suggesting that the cllr’s son may have inside information gleaned from his mother he has been working for Ambuibérica SL who ran the services last summer and again this Easter.

Ferrando wants the councilor to say quite how her son knows he will be in employment again this summer.

CLR’s Pedro Mancebo this week launched 2 new petitions to help improve Orihuela Costa.

The first petition deplores the dangerous and third world condition of our schools and demands: The completion of the senior school in Orihuela Costa.

The completion of an additional primary school in Orihuela Costa.

The immediate relocation to safe ground of the temporary secondary school.

The immediate repair of the temporary structures to make them weatherproof and to comply with health and safety regulations.

The second petition is about “Free roads for Orihuela Costa”. The petition demands the removal of the AP7 toll at La Zenia, which is strategically placed in the centre of the mainly expat Orihuela Costa community. This toll is a draconian burden on the residents, visitors and businesses of Orihuela Costa.

You can download a petition in up to eight languages and find a list of over 30 “signing and collection points” on www.clr-orihuelacosta.com The locations include: Spud

Murphy’s in Flamenca Beach, Cafeteria Gourmet in Zenia Boulevard, Slievenamon on the Cabo Roig strip, Damo’s Bar in Via Park 3 Los Altos, Belushi’s Bar in Via Park 5 Dream Hills and the Sophia Wellness Centre in La Regia.

If you wish to find out more about the CLR and their leader the party hold regular meetings in the Orihuela Costa which are usually led by local businessman Raymond Kearney.

The supporter’s group is made up mostly of local residents who have become frustrated by the neglect and alleged corruption of previous governments and who want to improve their new home town for themselves, their families and their neighbours.

Meetings are held at Sophia Wellness Centre, La Regia. Forthcoming dates: Open Meeting Thursday 25th April 6pm - 7.30pm Social Evening Friday 3rd May 7.30pm - 11.30pm Q&A Session Thursday 9th May 6pm -7.30pm CLR’s Ray Kearney with Cllr Pedro Mancebo

A talk will be held on Friday the 3rd of May at the Orihuela Costa civil centre, introducing and explaining the concept of “Fair Trade” to the residents of the coast. For several years now information and activities about “Comercio Justo” have been available and promoted throughout Orihuela. Now, the intention is to inform all coastal residents about “Fair Trade” and explain how it works, with the intention of establishing a shop with products from this organization in the near future. The information will be given in Spanish and in English.

The government of Extremadura has announced that it intends to take immediate action by prosecuting people who misuse the 112 emergency telephone service. Apart from the usual batch of confused callers who ask for trivial information, there has been a spate of incidents in which malicious callers have summoned the emergency services to an address, sometimes as a prank, but often by means of exacting revenge of the victim who would suddenly find their home beset with police or medical staff, believed to be responding to an real emergency, but instilling shock into the residents at the location of the scam. A similar practice has also become a recent problem in America, nicknamed “celebrity swatting”, a person would summon help to the home of a celebrity, reporting an incident such as armed robbery, which would immediately result in all available police officers, as well as SWAT teams, descending on the location.

THE PRICE OF AN ARM AND A LEG

The good news is that the compensation offered in the case of losing a limb is one of the most obvious ways of receiving funding in the event of injury, mutilation or deformity.

The bad news is that the about of compensation would be determined by the severity of the injury sustained, with each case being assessed individually.

This is according to the latest guide price issued by the department of social security in determining the compensation level due in the event of such an issue being raised. The award for the loss of a little toe might be awarded just 430 euro, whereas an arm at the elbow or a foot at the ankle, might be worth 2,940. A finger might be worth between 680 and 2,240, whereas the thumb, perhaps the most valuable digit of the modern age, is valued at 2,870 euro.

Values are also varied depending on whether the victim is left or right handed. Ordinarily, it is considered that the majority of people are right-handed, so a finger on that hand is valued at 2,420, compared with 1,810 on the left. If the person is left-handed, then the values are simply reversed.

Other body parts are also covered by the price list, with an ear being valued at 1,810, or 3,840 for the loss of both, and other facial parts reaching up to 7,940 euro.

If a man loses a testicle, the value is 2,840 euro, increasing to 6,380 for the two. This same value is also set for ladies who may lose an ovary, or both, as they are classed as the same thing in these terms.

Total loss of the penis or deformation of the external parts of the female genitals would be around 6,810 euro, reducing depending on the amount or loss suffered.

Internally, the pancreas is valued at 4,540 euro, a kidney at 4,260 euro and even the thyroid and parathyroid would award the loser some 2,560 euro each.

The department has also stressed that these prices may be varied, depending on the severity of each case, as well as the circumstances surrounding the reason for the loss. For example, the figure discussed in the event of a car crash, or when an insurance company might be involved, may also take into account the income of the injured person, as well as “their responsibilities or moral damages”.

NO TURNING IN THIS MADRID STREET

Make sure that you stay on the right, particularly if the majority Popular Party (PP) get their way in this Madrid street. Because very soon the city could boast la calle Margaret Thatcher after the former British Prime Minister who died at her London home earlier this month.

It would seem that the suggestion was put before Madrid’s city council by the arts department of PP mayor Ana Botella’s City Hall team. But Mrs Thatcher is not the only recently deceased to be put forward as candidates. Spanish actress Sara Montiel and the writer José Luis Sampedro, both of whom also died this week, are also included on the council list which should be approved by the council assembly on April 24.

However there are some voices of dissention as Jaime Lissavetzky, the leader of Madrid’s Socialist Party, expressed his disapproval as did Ángel Pérez of the United left bloc. Both objected on the grounds that the Iron Lady “did not live in Madrid.”

WHERE HAVE ALL THE CARS GONE? In the small, rural, Northern town of Aguilar de Segarra, the tranquillity of life may seem to flourish, with peace and quiet and a traditional feel, only a few houses blot the scenic landscape, there are no shops, the streets are empty, where the 250 residents know and greet each other, with each passing day, as time stands on pause, away from the hustle and bustle of modern day life.

That idyllic scene may come into question though, particularly the empty streets, when you consider that, according to the records in the town hall, every single resident of the town has 228 cars each, which are clearly not parked outside their homes, nor are they on the streets, and yet, the figures are in fact real.

In total, the town hall has a record of 60,000 vehicles registered in the town on the outskirts of Barcelona, but it is not the case of the residents actually owning them. Far from it, the municipal vehicle register is for the purpose of collecting the equivalent of road tax.

Here, car owners have to pay between just 10 and 15 euro per year for tax, which is perfectly legal and acceptable under laws set out by the Spanish government.

In fact, the neighbouring town of Rajadell, just a short drive away, if you can work out which car to take and then drive though the theoretical congestion, has 500 registered residents and 40,000 cars on their books.

It is considered though that most of the vehicles are not privately owned, but are registered on behalf of hire and leasing companies, taking advantage of a legal tax avoidance, with at least ten companies taking advantage of the fact that the road tax in these small towns is ten times cheaper than the cost of registering in the area´s capital of Barcelona. For the 100,000 cars shared between these two towns alone, we´ll let you work out the maths, but either way, it is another case of corporate tax avoidance, which seems a popular move in present times, which governments allow to happen whilst the lesser man foots the bill.

Incidentally, the town of Aguilar de Segarra is already well known in financial and governmental circles, as in 2011 it also gained the top position in terms of having the most debt per capita in the whole of Spain, with a figure of 9,000 euro per inhabitant.

NEWS FROM AROUND SPAIN The chief prosecutor of the Audiencia Nacional, Javier Zaragoza, has said this week that there should be an “interim disqualification” for “any holder of public office that is the subject of an investigation and is strongly suspected of having participated in an illegal act”, just as with the officials themselves, because “if a judge or a prosecutor opens a process, the person is suspended from duty, before they are condemned or not”.

In response to a question raised in parliament, the Spanish government has revealed that they paid 94.2 million euro to Catholic religious teachers during 2012, which equates to 71.9 million in salaries and 22.2 million in social security payments.

Although the politician who raised the question, Juan Moscoso del Prado of the PSOE, pointed out that the government only pay for Catholic education in Andalucía, Aragón, Canarias and Cantabria, for which 2,953 teachers in the field were recruited in 2012, and have given a total of 69,787 hours of Catholic religious education.

Complaints against the attitude and service of the National Police declined by 27.12% last year, according to data released this week, with complaints related to DNI (Spanish identity number) cases seeing the most favourable drop by 37.79%, passport application complaints fell by 25.3% and complaints from “aliens” dropped by 17.7%. In addition to administrative improvements, the attitude of police officers is apparently getting better, with a decline of 14% in complaints against a lack of courtesy, kindness or their education, and a drop of 9% in the number of complaints referring to the authoritarian nature of the police. This is the second year running that complaints have declined, but there has also been an increase of 23% in the number of registrations of officers receiving praise or thanks for the work that they do.

STERLING HIT BY HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT Market Commentary 18th April It was a bad start to the day yesterday for the pound after it was confirmed that UK unemployment edged higher to 7.9%.

The pound dropped against the USD and the Euro on the data which followed confirmation on Tuesday that inflation has remained stubbornly high, with higher unemployment and inflation providing a negative mix. We also had confirmation of the Bank of England minutes which once gain gleaned a divided committee with a vote of 6-3 to keep Quantative Easing as it is.

The fall in the pound yesterday set the tone for an extremely volatile day in the FX markets. Later in the day the Euro was rocked by comments from ECB member Weidmann the Bundesbank president who stated that the ECB could cut rates if data suggested this was necessary. Given that economic data has been weaker lately this set the precedent that a rate cut could be on the cards. The Euro fell sharply against the USD on the comments and has maintained its lows so far in today’s trading.

Economic data outside Europe has also started to turn negative such as in China and the US and this adds to the view of a rate cut at the next meeting.

Today has seen Spanish borrowing costs declined at a bond auction and German lawmakers approved the euro area’s bailout of Cyprus, damping demand for safer currencies. The US Dollar

declined 0.1 percent to $1.3046 per Euro after climbing to $1.3002 yesterday, the strongest since April 8. The Euro remained higher versus the US Dollar after data showed the number of Americans filing claims for unemployment benefits was little changed last week. Applications for jobless insurance payments increased by 4,000 to 352,000 in the week ended April 13. The Euro gained as Spain’s Treasury sold 4.7 billion Euros of bonds due between 2016 and 2023, surpassing its maximum target of 4.5 billion Euros. Germany’s lower house today backed the country’s participation in the 10 billion-euro bailout of Cyprus as Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said refusing aid risked triggering a default and contagion to other nations.

Sterling fell earlier against the Euro today after the UK Office for National Statistics said U.K. retail sales including fuel dropped 0.7 percent from February when they climbed 2.1 per-

cent. The weak data this week suggests it’s likely the Bank of England will add more stimulus to the economy. Although a lot of bad news has been priced in, many analysts think Sterling will probably remain under pressure, especially against the dollar, given its fundamentals. Sterling dropped as much as 0.3 percent 85.74 pence per Euro before trading little changed at 85.52 pence. It depreciated to 86.37 pence yesterday, the weakest level since March 15. The U.K. currency rose 0.1 percent to $1.5260.

SAD LOSS FOR ORIHUELA COSTA RBL

Following a decision to return to the UK to be with her family, RBL Secretary Helen Lloyd announced her resignation last week from the Orihuela Costa Branch.

After 3 years in the post, in which time she has been a shining example of good organisation, she will be sadly missed by everyone in the branch, not least of which will be Chairman Keith Carter, who has come to rely on her outstanding efficiency. Keith said at last Thursday evening’s Branch meeting “Helen has been such a great asset, she stepped into the post at a time when we were facing closure and her enthusiasm was a shining example to us all. Her kindness and her friendship will be missed by us all.”

Following the announcement, on behalf of members, Keith presented Helen with a bon voyage card signed by everyone present as well as a certificate of meritorious service and a jewelled poppy brooch. As Helen was overcome by the emotion of the occasion members all stood and applauded to show their appreciation.

DECLINE OF L A ZENIA Dear Editor I was absolutely disgusted to hear about the closure of the La Zenia Consum car park to the general public and while I accept that the land belongs to the Consum store and they have the right to use it as they wish there is no question in my mind that the actions they are carrying out will alienate members of the local public and quite likely have a detrimental effect on their store. The closure will also have consequences for local businesses and with this in mind surely it is now up to the local council to intervene.

It will also have a serious effect on the build up of traffic as I understand that the area by the Car Hire cabin leading onto Avda Villamartin will provide both entry and exit.

The store manager waved aside the protestations of local business groups when they visited recently whilst the council wouldn’t even entertain a meeting. And it is because of the council’s earlier actions, starting last year with their painting of yellow lines along Avda Villamartin, without any discussion or consultation, that started the gradual movement of businesses away from the La Zenia centre.

Barriers on the Consum car park will be just one more nail in the La Zenia coffin. Unfortunately is is becoming increasingly apparent that he council only appear to have eyes for the Boulevard.

A disgusted business Owner La Zenia

THA TCHER MADE THE DIFFEREN CE Dear Editor, I remember moving to Telford in 1977. We had a council house and my wife planted flowers and shrubs in the front garden.

A union-controlled socialist grass-cutter man mowed all of her flowers and said you cannot have flowers there. We will tell you what you can have.

Along came Maggie. She let us buy our council house and we told the socialist union-controlled grass cutter what he could do with his mower.

During the Wilson Callaghan

regime, the dead were not being buried, rubbish was being piled high in the streets, and half of the time there was no electricity. The unions were in charge, strike, strike, strike.

Along came Maggie. While all of this was going on I was laying the foundations of my business. I was being harassed by unioncontrolled bureaucrats. They were making it impossible for me to get my business off the ground.

Along came Maggie. At last I had someone to report these people to. I told the bureaucrats that I would not report them to their union-controlled bosses, I would report them to Margaret Thatcher and I will name names. They all got off their high horses and started to help me rather than hinder me. My business then created 18 jobs for people.

Maggie not only did this for me but she did it for millions of people. She also pulled our country out of the socialist union mire.

Where would we be now if we had never had Margaret Thatcher?

Tom Williams La Siesta

ILLEGAL BARRIER BLOCKS WALKWAY TO THE PUBLIC Sir, On page 9 of last week’s edition of the Leader you refer to a temporary and unofficial footbath along the cliffside at Auuamarina which you say is to be improved by the local council. You say that it has been at the forefront of coastal discussions.

As far as I can understand from your description you are referring to the stretch of walkway at the southern end of the paseo and whilst I applaud the actions that the council are taking I would like to ask them what they intend to do about the pathway at the northern (Cabo Roig) end of the walkway for it is actually this stretch by which should dominate their discussions.

Questions still remain unanswered however regarding the section which was illegally blocked off some years ago by the residents of the Urbanisation Bellavista 1 in Cabo Roig. Not only did the urbanisation effectively privatise a vital section of

that walk by first illegally erecting a gate, allowing just limited access, they then built a wall, which in recent years has completely cut the walkway off to the public.

Despite a promise in all the election manifesto’s that the walkway would reopen little progress seems to have been made on the matter with the council rather hesitant to make any formal report on the steps they are currently taking to reinstate this important stretch of the paseo for which I am told they have already received a European Grant.

Why can they simply not go along and pull the illegal barrier down and in so doing open up the paseo once again to many thousands of residents and holidaymakers who would take great pleasure from the walk.

COST A RESIDENTS FED UP WITH POLITICAL BACK BITING Dear Editor, It is now nearly two years since the local elections of May 2011.

After those elections I and many other people were full of hope for a new beginning on Orihuela Costa after years of neglect by the ruling P.P. We had our first British Councillor Bob Houliston of the CLR/CLARO party elected, he became the new Councillor for the Coast but after only eight months in the job instead of fighting his corner and more importantly fighting for the interests of everybody living on Orihuela Costa he resigned and joined Monica Lorente and the P.P., a party which previous to this he loathed and detested.

Pedro Mancebo of CLR then became Councillor for the Coast, I and many others thought that he was really starting to improve the situation when suddenly he was dismissed from his job. Now Martina Scheurer is Councillor for the Coast and came into the job pledging to make a big difference. Well Martina many people here wish you success in the job because we are really fed up with the back biting and the various parties in Orihuela trying to score political points in the

monthly pleno meetings and through the Spanish and English papers, in short we want less politics and more action. We want clean streets, rubbish, weed and dog dirt free (like Orihuela City), gardens kept tidy, parks developed, bridges built where needed across the very dangerous N332 (they say there is no money but money is being spent in Orihuela City). The Councillor for the Coast and the present government have two years to improve the situation here on Orihuela Costa before the local elections in May 2015. I'am sure that if things don't improve the voters will have their say through the ballot box.

Graham Robinson.

COLLECTING FOR LOCAL CHARITIES I write this letter in response to a letter published in issue number 462 from Darren Stillman concerning The Pink Ladies collecting money for the AECC on St Patricks Day at The Cabo Roig Parade.

He made an issue of collecting with open buckets and how could he be sure that all the money collected would be given to the charity. Firstly if he has ever collected for charity at such an event he will know it is the most convenient way to collect donations in a crowd and secondly we are annoyed at his inference that we may not be giving the total collected to the AECC. Because of comments like that he affects all of the good hearted people that donate their time to their chosen charity. I would also like to inform him that my motivation to raise funds and to make sure they ALL get to the AECC is that I have been diagnosed with cancer three times and at present I am still under treatment for this terrible disease but I must question what his motive is to cast doubt on the integrity and honesty of myself and my fellow volunteers.

I invite him to meet with me and my volunteers and check the amounts raised over the last three years which is in excess of €93,000 and the bank receipts of monies paid to the AECC. If he is so suspicious of kind hearted people like me and my volunteers then maybe he would like to

join us. I am currently looking to recruit a team of Pink Panthers to join us Pink Ladies in our efforts to raise funds for the AECC; if he was to join us then he would have the peace of mind to know that ALL of the funds we raise do get to the AECC.

YET MORE PREFER EN CE FOR CIT Y OVER COAST Dear Sir, Orihuela town is opening a second library on Tuesday. This will make two libraries for the town.

Orihuela Costa has no library.

However the list can be continued: Residential Homes, Orihuela 1 Costa None Centre for old people, Orihuela 1, Costa None Theatres Orihuela 2 Costa None Cemetery Orihuela 1 Costa None However the coast does score highly in negative ways; Prefabricated Schools Costa 2 Orihuela None Unkempt parks Costa Several Orihuela None Why is the Orihuela always getting preference over the coast when the populations are virtually the same?

PADDY'S POINT GOLF SOCIETY - CAPTAIN'S DAY - PART ONE Wednesday 10th April, Las Colinas, Captain's Day had finally arrived.

The sun was shining and everyone was in good spirits. All of the hard work that had been done in the background was over it was time to play golf. A very good turnout of 58 players firstly posed for a group photo and then watched the Captain, David McBride, drive out.

The course was in excellent condition and the weather was great but the wind did pick up later in the day which was reflected in the scores. Due to very kind sponsorship we were able to offer prizes on every hole and there were many winners on the day, anyone unlucky enough not to get one of the prizes will need to keep practising for next year.

SUCINA GOLF SOCIETY TUESDAY, 16 APRIL AT MAR MENOR (IRM) An Individual Stableford format for our game today, counting towards the 2013 ´Player of the Year´ trophy. 29 players turned out for a fantastic day´s golf! Weather was warm and sunny, with a gentle breeze presenting itself later in the morning which cooled things down nicely. We were also delighted to welcome additional guests who joined us today.

A variety of scores were presented, and many a player found the bunkers!

The author of this article being one, and found them to be very deep and full of sand! Maybe I have also found some new swear words! As another female member also agreed, trying to get out when sand also wet - was undoubtable a ¨swearable´ event!

TORREVIEJA GOLF SOCIETY

BENIJOFAR G S LA SERENA

President’s Putter Competition at Peraleja on 15th April.

We enjoyed a warm and sunny day for the annual playing of our President’s Putter Competition at Peraleja. Despite the early morning start everyone arrived in good time for the 2 tee start at 9.00am although it is true to say that many of our members were bleary eyed after watching the final round of the Masters from Augusta until the early hours of Monday morning.

The course continues to have problems with a number of its fairways but nevertheless we had a splendid day with an excellent lunch being provided in the Club’s well appointed restaurant on conclusion of play. The main prizes were generously donated by the Club and we were indebted to one of our members, Charlie Chaplin, for the sponsorship of the nearest the pin prizes on the par 3’s.

The Competition was an individual Stableford and the deserved winner of the trophy which was donated by our ex President Alan James in 1999, was John Edwards who scored a highly creditable 36 points. John is one of our more consistent players and has come close to winning the event a number of times previously. This time he was not to be denied and was a comfortable winner by 4 points from his closest challenger. The full list of winners on the day were: Category 1: 1st John Edwards with 36 points. 2nd Tom Clarke with 31 points. 3rd David Banton with 30 points on count back Ron Smith also 30 points in this category.

Category 2: 1st Roy Welburn with 32 points. 2nd John Saunders with 30 points. 3rd Jack Molenaar with 29 points.

Nearest the Pin prizes were won by Alan James, Dean Charles, John Steer, John Edwards and John Saunders and the 2’s competition was shared by Alan James and Dean Charles who both came close to recording holes in one.

Next weeks competition at La Serena will be a “Texas Scramble” and members should check their tee times on the web site or the notice board in the Portobello Bar in Campoverde. Contact: Geoff Walters, Secretary, Tel 966 763 369 or email geofwalt@telefonica.net

A short drive down the motorway was the setting for April’s outing of the society where 24 players looked forward to a nice sunny day and a good test of golf.

The forecast looked to be all wrong when the morning started off with a lot of cloud cover but luckily for us, this burnt off and by the time we teed off, the sun was beginning to burn it’s way through.

The condition of the course was very good and with only a minimal amount of wind blowing, everybody was hoping for a decent score (water hazards permitting).

Most of the players found the greens running fairly true but the difficulty was in getting the pace right, with many a shot racing past the hole and a tricky putt coming back !

The majority of members had all played here before and were well stocked with balls but there were still a fair few lost on the day and never to be seen again in the watery graves that pass as hazards on this course.

Nearest the pin winners on the front nine were John Fullicks on the third and Stuart Tosh on the ninth. On the back nine it was Larry Kinsella and again Stuart Tosh on the seventeeth.

The par three winner was Brian Ead with twelve points much to the disgust of his wife Nikki with eleven points.

The par five winner was Andy Trefry with nine points and beating Steve Edwards by virtue of having a lower handicap.

Scores in the main stableford competition were quite good with eleven players scoring thirty points or better.

In third place was John Fullicks with thirty four points. In second place was Dave Smith with thirty five points and the winner and only player to break par was Stuart Tosh with a score of thirty seven points and a slight reduction to his already low playing handicap.

We all returned to Sams Bar in Quesada where Maureen laid on a very welcome meal of “chilli” that went down a treat.

Next meeting is at Altorreal on 15-5-13.

‘Mike Probert talks Golf Sponsored by Costa Blanca Green Fee Services.

Here on the Costa’s golf is one of the biggest leisure time activities for both tourists and resident alike and with this in mind we have secured the services of Mike Probert of Costa Blanca Green Fee Services to provide a weekly round up of local golfing events and topics and in conjunction with us at THE LEADER will provide discounted golf prices to all of our readers and run our golf competitions.

ARE GOLF RULES FOR BREAKING???

Last week the avid golfer will have watched the wonderful spectacle that is the US Master’s but unfortunately also witnessed the worst example of ‘sanctioned’ rule breaking I have ever seen. Of course I am talking about the incorrect penalty drop taken by Tiger Woods when he chose to ignore the prepared dropping zone and drop as near as possible to where he played the ‘unlucky’ 3rd shot that went into the water, Unfortunately he confirmed to golf commentators that he had ‘deliberately’ dropped the ball 2 yards further away from where he had played the shot first time around to avoid a repeat of the same problem, This is the biggest case of guilty by big mouth that I have ever seen and he should have received a disqualification rather than a 2 shot penalty which was only one more than a scared 14 year old kid was given for playing slowly in what must have been the most frightening experience of his life. Can you imagine of the uproar that would have been generated if Tiger Wood had gone on to win the tournament. In recent years he has brought the wonderful game of golf into dispute with his antics off the course and spitting and swearing on it so he would have regained some degree of respect from the golfing public if he had disqualified himself BUT then again this would be too much to expect from someone who appears morally corrupt.

ABBEY ANGLING MATCH FISHING The 4th round of the Spring Series was once again fished at the Embalsa de Pedrera on the 16th April due to the other venues still being flooded.

The lower access to Barbel bay and Barbel point is now underwater with the water still rising, the work has ceased at present where the water runs into the lake and it is no longer running down the concrete gulley but down the natural bank which has eroded a deep gulley and depositing silt which is washing into the lake and colouring the water.

The fish are still taking hemp and

tares along with other baits and the weights continue to improve.

1st Stan (The Man) Roberts with 17.680kg fishing the waggler using hemp and maggot 2nd Ian (The Wizard) Dalzell with 16.920kg fishing the feeder using hemp 3rd Andy (The Web Man) Stevenson with15.160kg fishing the feeder using sweet corn All details are available on our web site www.abbeyangling.com or from the Match Secretary Terry Screen on 965328368

A respectable haul of 17 tons and ton pluses were recorded by the Gophers against the dangerous, but unpredictable Hub Hyenas. James Brown 1x100,1x121,1x125 and a fine 81 out (S19,T10,D16), Ali O´Keeff 2x100,2x140 and Paul Easton 3x100,1x140 were the main scorers for the visitors, with Lee Holtham 3x100 and Joe Miller 1x97,2x100 replying for the Hyenas. It was a fine

performance for the champions elect but the complete opposite of what was to follow when they visited the other Hub side the Meerkats this week.

A measly 4 tons coupled with some less than accurate finishing with the exception to James Brown´s 2 game shots, were all the Gophers could muster against the current champions. There was no comparison to their previous match and captain Bill Warburton couldn’t quite explain his team´s poor performance. He commented ¨admittedly we were without Ali O´Keeff and Mark Todd which I am sure could have reduced the score line, but if we are not careful our match next week against PB´s could prove costly, with a similar performance. We missed too many chances against a decent side, but I am confident you will see a different Gogarty´s in our remaining two matches¨.

The Gophers were 5-0 down before Brown hit D12 and even that was after a miscount on a shot out from Meerkat Tomas Piwczyk. Alex Nikolov 3x100,D4 and John Eyre 100,121 and a 60 out (S20,D20) had done the earlier damage Piwczyk adding a 56 out (S16,D20). Brown followed his D12 with a singles victory against Danas Bobinas on D10 after both players had hit two tons apiece. In a high scoring second single current in-form man Gopher Paul Easton scored well against Alan Ostrowski 2x100,81 and D10 but just couldn’t find the form he is capable of which was a direct reflection of many of his team mates. Eyre took out 90 on T18,D18 against Chris O´Brien, before Paul Durrant 2x100,D5 and Eddie Bendelow 2x100,D10 finished off the remaining two legs against Kevin Fitzpatrick and Jack Todd respectively. Meerkats totalled 15 tons and over during the evening. Saving factor for Gogarty´s was the surprise home draw from the Bulls against the Hunks. Its very tight for the league championship, Gogarty´s let it slip last season in the very last game, will it happen again?

We will have to wait until May 2nd. The title will not be decided before then but what a championship, good luck to both teams.

The fight for the Hattons League Plate is as close a tussle as the league title itself. For the past few weeks both Breakaways and the PB´s Pirates have been locked together on equal points, losing and winning matches in much the same ratio. PB´s had a deserved but unexpected victory this week over fourth placed Hub Hyenas to keep the pressure on Breakaways. Surprise of the match was Gill Kirby and Sue Sanderson taking on the Hyenas of Joe Miller (Monday Singles Champion) and Richie Weaver (aka William Hill) and beating them. Despite a 140 from Miller to set up a finish for partner Weaver, it was Sanderson who stepped up to the oche to nail D14.

Best finish of the night went to captain Ray Sanderson when requiring 46.

His first dart slipped in D6 (when going for S10 or S6), leaving 34 (D17).

Not being as accurate as he once was, his next arrow hit D3 leaving 28 (D14). Composing himself with a stiff brandy his last dart found the middle of the double for an amazing D6,D3,D14 check out. Pirate Peter Ayre acquitted himself well in his singles with 2x100,1x140 as did Hub captain Simon Williams with 1x140 and 1x121. A valuable two points for the Pirates.

Mirador Mixtures couldn’t quite achieve a sixth leg for a match point in

their game against the Breeze Bar. Debbie Mackleston got the Mixtures off to a flyer on D2, followed by D10 from Tracey Simpson for 0-2. Dave Wright D2, partnered Mackleston to take one of the pairs, the Breezers taking the other two for level scores at half time. The first two singles were shared, before Mackleston faced singles finalist Jane Kelly, both scored well with Kelly leaving 116. A brilliant T20,S20,D18 followed to complete the 501 points. Wright 100,87 levelled the scores at 5 apiece, only for the Breezers to take the last two and a 7-5 score.

Hattons Honeys were unlucky not to get a point from their home match against the Busters. Top scorers for the Honeys were Simone de Lacy 110, Ray Green 100 and Phil de Lacy 115 and 129. Busters however were a little more accurate on the treble 20 with numerous tons and over. Mark Filer 100,140, Irene Russell 100,119 and 132, Peter O´Rourke 135,120 and Will Drummond 126. A fine performance from the Playa Flamenca side which gives them the possibility of repeating last year´s performance of 5th place.

Competition semi-finals will be played on May 9th at Breakaways to include Mens Singles quarter-finals, Pairs semi-finals and Ladies semifinals. Ladies Singles player profiles as follows: Jane Kelly - Plays for the Breeze Bar and for the past 14 years has lived in a posh area of the Costa Blanca (wherever that is). Answers to the name of Olive and lists her favourite food as fish and chips, but only from the Breeze Bar. Loves watching the pros in the McCoys PremLeague on Sky TV naming Paul ¨Bullseye¨ Baxter as her favourite player. Title odds 5/1.

Babs Warren - Last season´s runner up to Amanda Skinner hoping to go one better this time. Her football team is Tottenham, obviously someone with taste, Gareth Bale being her favourite player. Her choice of two dinner companions would be Cliff Richard and Michael Buble, where she would drink Vodka all night and discuss all the action from the hit soap Emmerdale. Title odds 2/1.

QUESADA BOWLS CLUB Blenheims Report Fri 11-4-13 After a good first round win against San Luis the Blenheims flew over to Emerald Isle, Barbara Eldred the Victors Captain welcomed us out onto a newly cleaned green on a beautiful sunny day.

Perfect conditions for what was a briliant game, the result could have gone either way after 15 ends, however Quesada Blenheims with some great shots & an excellent team Spirit ground out an 11 points to 3 win.

Derek Toozer`s rink winning by 1, Graham Philipsrink winning by 3 & Jackie Breslin managing a draw after all being behind with 3 ends to play, showed the team has a fighting spirit. Names are required for the next games commencing 22nd April Greenlands away & Country Bowls at home.

Again not a lot to report this week other than we had a visit from County Antrim Bowling Club on Monday past & a good time was had by all players & as expected because we knew the green Quesada came out on top winning 2 out of 3 rinks on a glorious sunny day.

On Tuesday 16th April. The Quasada Bowls Club Social Committee invited the Club members who took part in providing hanging baskets for the green at the bowls Club, to join them for a meal as a thank you for their support in this project.

This was an idea by Club member and Social Club committee Member Chip Chapman, who suggested that a few of the members donated and looked after a hanging basket to brighten up the appearance of the Club. There was going to be a prize for the best basket, but they were all so lovely we thought a joint celebration was more appropriate!

With no league fixtures it has been a quiet week for many of our members. However, for some bowlers who have been involved in the Champion of Champions it has been very, very busy. Our 'Fantastic Three', Giuseppe Galelli, Alan Pugh and Kath Reid have been involved every day, sometimes playing three matches on the same day. However, we are all hoping that Saturday brings them success when, with Bryan Guppy, they play in the final of the Mixed Rinks; fingers crossed that success comes their way.

Congratulations to Ann Allen, Giuseppe Galelli, Bryan Guppy, Alan Pugh and Kath Reid for representing Horadada Bowls Club in the true manner of the sport, and to the supporters who travelled every day to

CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS at El Rancho the quarter final Ladies Singles paired our own Sabrina Marks against Lyn Greenland from Greenland’s, Drawn on Rink 8 a challenging rink would be an understatement, both ladies produced quality bowls towards the Scoreboard end but both struggled to find any consistency playing back to the spectators end.

The game ebbed and flowed as expected to eventually arrive at 18-18. Lyn scored a single to lead 1918,on the next end Sabrina trailed the jack to hold 2, Lyn managed to secure 3rd wood leaving Sabrina a last wood draw for the game. Close with the last but no cigar 20-19 in Sab's favour, Lyn then held a single with last wood for the win just missing with her last left the game tied at 20-20. Playing back to the stable end the rink was winning again, Lyn lay closest a yard away, which Sabrina struggled to beat 21-20 well

It does not get any more difficult than having to compete against Keith Jones and his team in the semi finals! Well done to you all!

On a sad note, Horadada Bowls Club was very sad to hear of the death of Viv Zelin from La Marina BC. Horadada BC wish to offer our sympathy to her family and everyone at La Marina B.C.

SAN MIGUEL BOWLS CLUB by Janet Thomas played Lyn. Sabrina would like to thank the San Miguel members for their fantastic support and special thanks to Bob and Paula for making the trip. In the ladies pairs Janet Farmer and Sheila Booth were drawn against two experienced ladies from the Emerald Isle. After initial problems with the El Rancho rink both teams settled down and produced an absorbing match. The San Miguel ladies held their own and with only three ends to go were only 15-12 down. Despite producing some excellent play over the last three ends they could not make up the difference. Both ladies can be proud of their performance and did not let San Miguel down. Jan and Sheila would like to thank the travelling Club Members for their enthusiastic support. San Miguel Bowls Club is sponsored by Iberian Funeral Plans.

TORREVIEJA TO HOST FEMALE FOOTBALL CAMP The Torrevieja Sports City will host the Women's Football Campus II "Sonia Bermudez", which will be held from July 28 to August 4, with places limited to 100 girls from 6 to 16 years of age.

The announcement was made by the former FC Torrevieja goalkeeper and Councillor for Sports, Luis María Pizana, along with the president of the CD Sonia Bermúdez de Madrid, Thomas Moran, and Sonia Bermudez, who was accompanied by the goalkeeper of FC Barcelona, Laura Rafols.

The summer camp is expected to attract some of the very best young female footballers from around the country Girls will receive technical training where they will work specifically at improving aspects of their footballing qualities, plus they will watch football videos to learn new skills.

Although the campus football is female, is also open to boys.

The first deadline for applications will be 31 May with the second from 1 to 5 July 2013. The registration fee will be 535 euros which will include full board and accommodation at the Hotel Cabo Cervera.

Also included will be escorted trips to Madrid and Barcelona, all transfers and travel plus playing kits, a backpack, liability insurance and individual insurance for each participant.

There will be 10 guaranteed scholarships for players of FC base Torrevieja.

Sonia Bermudez is one of the top scorers of the 1st Division with FC Barcelona and regular player in the Spanish National team.

She has won the national league championship on 4 occasions, the Queen's Cup once and she has played in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

She will again be representing Spain in the European Championship which will be held from 10 to 28 July in Sweden.

Before that, however, Sonia will be personally directing each practice session at the campus which she hopes will produce more quality players for one of the nation’s fastest growing sports.

The first edition of the Campus held last year attracted girls from 13 different regions.

EVERYTHING NOW POINTS TOWARD TORRY SURVIVAL FC TORREVIEJA .............3 CF LA NUCIA ...................1 A beautiful afternoon, a superb stadium, good opposition and a team fighting for it’s life. All of the ingredients surely to guarantee a packed house at the Nelson Mandela for Sunday evening’s Tercera encounter between relegation threatened FC Torrevieja and playoff chasing La Nucia; but unfortunately you would be wrong! But it was very much the loss of the stay away fans as this was a match that provided first class entertainment and, for Torry supporters, a thrilling climax to a well deserved win that should go a long way toward securing their survival at this level, Torry set out their stall from the very start taking the game to their promotion chasing visitors with both Manu and Koeman testing the La Nucia keeper early on. The pressure was all one way so it came as no real surprise when Gasch slammed the ball into the back of the net on 17 minutes to give the home side an early

lead. Further opportunities fell to the home side but the visitors gradually came back into the game with Tur being forced into a couple of good saves. He turned away one powerful shot from skipper Jorge before saving with his legs late in the half.

Although they held the lead at the interval Koemann could have doubled the Torrevieja goal tally just before the half time whistle but he shot straight at the keeper when through on goal.

The second period saw the visitors draw level from the spot after Rafa was penalised for pushing in the box.

Former Torry player Petu sent Tur the wrong way. But this was the signal for the home side to raise their game.

We all thought that the lead had been restored on 58 minutes when Koeman rounded the La Nucia keeper but somehow a defender got back to clear off the line.

Burgillos went close with a header and Koeman lobbed the ball just over the bar before the same player slipped the ball under the diving keeper following an exquisite pass from Luis Carlos on 80 minutes.

Dani also had a good effort in stoppage time at Torry went in search of a 3rd. An excellent win that should ease the pressure somewhat at teams go into the final half dozen games of the season. Next week Borriol.

SALINAS HAT TRICK BOOKS PLAY OFFS FOR HORADADA ASPE CF .........................1 UD HORADADA .............4 So with just four games of the season remaining Horadada are now certain of a place in the play offs.

Following Saturday’s draw between Callosa and Alcoyano, victory at mid table Aspe on Sunday afternoon assured the Reds of a top three finish, and with 3 of their remaining 4 games as home it could still be even better.

But going into Sundat Horadada knew that they had to improve on recent results. With just one point from their last two games, in view of the Almoradi victory a day earlier at home to Hercule, the Redfs knew that anything less than three points would see them losing touch with their near neighbours. Any sizeable deficit would perhaps be too much of a margin to overturn but to keep the league leaders within touching distance at this stage and with a marginally easier run in the league positions could still change again on the back of just one victory or defeat.

Despite the defeat Aspe CF have to be congratulated on the wonderful occasion they made of this game.

Gate proceeds were donated to charity, with balls and signed t shirts handed out to spectators at half time.

Unfortunately UD Horadada rather spoiled the party, or more specifically Salinas with three first half goals.

The opener came just 8 mins into the game. A free kick in midfield was played to del Bano who crossed onto the head of Salinas to beat Fernando in the Aspe

goal.

The same player then doubled the Horadada lead 12 minutes later. Again it was a pinpoint header, this time the provider was Javi Rosa.

With the home side unable to thwart the intense Horadada pressure Salinas had his third just 6 minutes before the half time interval. Vardan took the ball to the line before crossing to Salinas who swept the ball past Fernando for his first hat trick in a Horadada shirt.

Unfortunately the euphoria enjoyed by Horadada fans didn’t extend into the 2nd period. The Reds were simply awful. Fortunately the defence still managed to stand firm at least until the 85th minute when Campillo and Alex jointly conceded a penalty. Samu picked himself off the ground to find the back of the net.

As the game then drifted toward the final whistle Esnsa restored Horadada’s three goal cushion with a strike following excellent work by both Javi and super sub Samu. So now with the hard work done and a play off place achieved there will be slightly less pressure on Reds as they try to make inroads into Almoradi’s 2 point lead during the final 4 games of the season.

Remaining Games: Horadada Almoradi El Campello (h) Alicante (a) Alicante (h) Villajoyosa (a) Alcoyano (a) Contestano Alguena (h) Villena (a)

DISMAL DAYA MARCH ON Almoradi Infantiles 0 Daya Nueva 2 From the opening whistle Daya tore into the home side but after 10 minutes of constant pressure the game was somehow still goalless. The longer the half went on the more Almoradi grew in confidence but they lacked any real threat up front. On 30 minutes Daya came closest to scoring when three good chances saw the ball pinging about in the home side's penalty area but it just wouldn't go in the net ! On the stroke of half time Francisco spared the visitors' blushes scoring with a good free kick from distance. So 1 - 0 at the break but it should have been many many more. The second half started with constant pressure from the visitors but there was more control now about their play. On 43 minutes Youseff replaced Marcos in the Daya forward line and on 45 minutes scored Daya's

second. This goal allowed the visitors a more relaxed approach to the remainder of the game and surely more goals would follow ? On 60 minutes Almoradi had their best chance of the game but they failed to score. Daya hit back with two good chances of their own but just couldn't score. For all their efforts the visitors had to settle for a 2 - 0 win. Although they scored just the two goals Daya never looked to be in any danger of losing this match. On a cold Saturday morning the small group of supporters from Daya had little to warm them up as their team's performance was uninspiring. Still a win is a win and they continue to chase down the leaders, Cox, who hold a one point advantage going in to this weekend's games.

THADER WIN SECURES LEAGUE PLACE CD Thader 2 Algueña CF 0 We turned up to one of the lowest attendances of the season as we asked ourselves ‘will Thader continue to put in their normal game against the league’s bottom team’?

However, the home side looked lively enough at the start but they need to calm down and play. The first good chance and Thader should have done better as an early opportunity was hit woefully wide. Despite the silly fouls which can easily spoil a game the ref, at this stage, was on top of it. Thader were continually making the better chances but there was no end result, all going too wide or high. The fans were a little bit confused after the last home game against high flying Horadada, the best game they have seen this season.

What's gone wrong? If either team could put two passes together we could mistake this for a game. The action seemed to be based on the musical ‘Pin Ball Wizard’ this half. They go in 0-0 with not much for the

fans. A half best forgotten.

The second period started with a little excitement, a speculative effort from Lloyd. Then we had a good cross from Adrian which saw Adriano head just wide.

The visitors were then reduced to ten men, a ball played in and the defender handled; not only a penalty but he found himself away to the dressing room reducing a now struggling team. The pen was converted by Avilles and Thader were ahead. Two mins later and a free kick saw Lloyd convert with a well taken volley to make it 2-0 which his efforts for the team undoubtedly deserved. Although they were playing ten Thader were running the game but not taking the advantage, however we have been subjected to the best ten mins of the game, although from past experience we still they need to be careful. All's well that ends well and Thader had the points, which should just about secure their place for next season.

Next week away to Benidorm.

MIL PALMERAS WEEKLY ROUNDUP Prebens 2006 Sponsored by Fuegos La Fuente Rojales A 2 Mil Palmeras 2 Great start to the match on Saturday. Lacey and Makenna in defence, Kevin and Thomas in the centre and Mason up front and with no subs.

We went 0-1 up in the first 5 minutes of the match with a great throw in from Makenna, Thomas controlled it and passed it to Mason who had a go at goal, but it was stopped by the Rojales defence, but rebounded off and back to Kevin who shot and scored.

We then scored another goal from a strategy corner played by Thomas and Kevin and went 0-2 up. But just a few minutes from half time Rojales managed to notch in a goal, taking half time to 1-2.

Got stuck in again the second half and dominated most of the second half, Lacey and Makenna strong at the back not letting Rojales get by them, we had a few more chances at goal, but did not manage to get them in the net. We held our own until a few minutes from the end of the match, where I think tiredness creep in on our part and Rojales just managed to sneak past us and get the last goal in, taking the score to 2-2.

Some really great saves from Dylan and well done to Mason, some great headers out there. Lacey and Makenna great in defence and some hard work from Kevin and Thomas. MOM: Makenna Tomlinson for all her hard work in defence.

Benjamines CF Mil Palmeras 7 Jacarilla B 3 Sponsored By Sunshine FM 102.8 The Toros took their time getting into this match but made their class show in the end .After a frustrating first 10mins the Toros started to take charge of the match with Ben Naylor finding the back of the net .Jacarilla shot from the center just squeezing the ball between Diego Sheffield's hands and the Cross Bar .

Moments later Jacarilla coverted a long range freekick to go ahead of the Toros .With Aron Beng , Niomi

Sheffield and Paolo Webb looking assured at the back the Toros midfield went on the rampage with first Luca Webb than David Milton - Stamm scoring from some lovely passing to finish the half 3-2 .

Second half and CF Mil Palmeras turned the pressure on with Luke Naylor and Bailey Tomlinson controling the center of the pitch and Diego rushing Jacarilla's defense .Ben bagged 2 goals in the first 10 mins but Jacarilla managed to get 1 goal back . David finished the match off with 2 goals from Diego's crosses to leave the score 7-3. A well deserved victory which keeps the Toros joint first in the league .

MOM Diego Sheffield strong in goal, great passing .

Sponsored by Talleres J Martinez Ford garage Mil Palmeras Alevines 3 Benejuzar 5 Another creditable performance against 3rd placed Benejuzar Mil Palmeras roared into a two goal lead within ten minutes as we forced the opponents back into their own half with great spells of pressure, with a poke into the corner from Agustin and a real thunder buster from Lewis and could have made it three with a narrow miss.

But the gremlins crept in again with a lack of concentration in marking and we conced two goals in two minutes to go in level at the break. Halftime 2-2.

The second half started steadily but ten minutes in we conceded a third and for the second game in a row the smallest player on the pitch scored against us with a header to make it 4-2. But the Toros rallied a little and Agustin made the last 5 minutes uncomfortable for the visitors with a neat finish.as we asserted pressure to try and grab a last minute equaliser we were caught on the break and the finish squirmed over the line to give Benejuzar the points.

ELCHE LOSE – BUT IT’S (STILL) OK...

AD ALCORCON .......................1 ELCHE CF ................................0 Table-toppers Elche lost to third-placed Alcorcon by the odd goal, but this was a fairly even game that should have been a draw.

With seven more nail-biters to go the Illicitanos are still nine points clear of second-placed Girona who slammed Lugo 4 – 0, but more importantly ten clear of the same Alcorcon for automatic promotion.

Elche were missing stalwart right back Suarez, Flano replacing him, otherwise Elche were at full strength, Mantecon still keeping Generelo out (good). The Madrid team in their all-yellow strip are coached by Jose Bordelas, who managed Elche over the last three up and down seasons, each time missing out on promotion, only to cruelly lose his job when Elche finally fell away this time last year. Although the terraces were primarily yellow, there was a good representation of green and white as noisy Franjiverde supporters were seen - and heard!

One factor that got Elche into trouble last year was the endless bookings that caused suspensions at crucial times. It has looked this season as though Elche had learned their lesson, but not yesterday’s match. Early on Angel was booked after being pulled up for offside, stupidly booting the ball away but worse happened on the half hour as Peligrin injured himself and was booked before going off to be replaced by young Hector Verdes.

The strength of the Peligrin-Etxeita centre-back partnership has been one of Elche’s trump cards in the magnificent defence this year that has, even now only conceded 20 goals in 35 games. With no real chances for either side the score stayed 0 – 0 at half time, although Elche finished the half

BY JOHN MCGREGOR

The PeligrinEtxeita partnership has been excellent this season.ership

strongly after Alcorcon had looked better earlier.

Five minutes into the second half and the home side won a corner. Elche cleared it, but immediately lost it again, and as the big Sabadell defenders had come up, they were still there as the ball was returned high into the Elche area. Huge centreback Babin rose, completely unmarked, his powerful header giving Herrera in Elche’s goal no chance. The immediate Elche reaction is ‘he wouldn’t have been unmarked if Peligrin had been there’ – but he wasn’t, and so Elche were then chasing the game.

It became niggly as the Illictanos put the pressure on: Xumetra was taken off for Carles Gil, then captain Mantecon limped off for (useless) Pelayo, and in one glorious chance Coro had the ball whipped off his toe just in front of goal after a rare run from Fidel. But with five minutes to go and bookings abounding everywhere Angel tripped his man, was booked again and angrily sent off – I hope he was disgusted with himself for letting Elche down, and not with the decisions (which were right). Very fortunately the 1 – 0 result doesn’t cause huge problems for Elche with the ten/eleven points cushion.

Yes, the goals have dried up and it is usually the superb defence which has kept the important points steadily coming in, so different to the last heartbreaking season when from a more vulnerable postion Elche were caught when their form went out of the window – like now - and after leading the league for the first six months ended with nothing in mid-table obscurity.

Next Sunday, appropriately at high noon, Elche are home to second-placed Girona, the form team. Let’s all hope the Illicitanos are getting over the slump that has only produced two goals in four matches – both in last week’s victory over bottom-placed Xerex – and one of those was a penalty!

Mucho Elche!
