In front of a crowd of more than 400 at The Wardale Williams Stadium, AFC Sudbury captain Sam Clarke put his side into dreamland with a second-minute lead in their first ever game in the Ryman League Premier Division — the highest level in the club’s history.
But last season’s beaten play-off finalists Dulwich Hamlet came back with two goals in the space of four minutes, with Kenny Beaney heading in the equaliser in the 37th minute before Kadell Daniels’ free-kick beat Marcus Garnham at his near post, to send the visitors into the lead at the break.
AFC Sudbury pegged them back in the second half though with good skill from Clarke in the 66th minute seeing him work a low cross for Callander to tuck away.
The hosts pushed for a winner late on but could not find a way through as they made a pleasing start to life at Step Three.
Elsewhere in the division, Needham Market’s new midfielder Jack Curtis, on loan from Colchester United, marked his debut with a 10th minute opener at home to Burgess Hill Town.
But the visitors snatched a point with a late equaliser, with Tyrell Richardson-Brown striking in the 84th minute.
In Division One North, Bury Town got their 2016/17 campaign off to a winning start after recovering from an early setback when Ryman Blackman converted a 31st minute penalty at Ram Meadow to win 2-1.
Ollie Hughes stabbed home from close range in the 42nd minute to send the sides into the break level, before new playing captain Bradley Barber scored what proved to be the winning goal in the 56th minute.
In the Thurlow Nunn League, Newmarket Town’s opening Premier Division game, the first on their new artificial 3G pitch, ended in a 6-2 victory over struggling FC Clacton with Jamie Thurlbourne hitting a hat-trick while there were also a brace for Steve Holder and one for Scott Paterson.
Thetford’s recent signing, ex-Norwich City man Cameron King, was on target in their 2-0 win at Swaffham Town on Friday night. They joined Mildenhall Town, who won 2-0 at home to Great Yarmouth Town on Saturday thanks to goals from Jacob Brown and substitute Alexander Stillinger, in preserving their perfect start after two games.
In the Sky Bet Championship, Ipswich Town suffered a 2-0 defeat at Brentford after the Bees’ summer signing from Gillingham, John Egan, struck twice inside eight minutes shortly after the re-start as the Blues were made to rue missed opportunities in the first half.
Norwich City played out a goalless draw with last season’s beaten play-off finalists Sheffield Wednesday in Saturday’s late kick-off in the first game at Carrow Road since being relegated from the Premier League.

About 30 Suffolk teenagers aged between 13 and 21 are taking part in the two-week summer school and as well as performing, they will be involved in costume, prop-making and set construction.
The family-friendly play will be directed by Spinning Wheel artistic director Amy Wyllie, designed by Becca Gibbs and is being shown at Stowmarket’s John Peel Centre on Saturday, August 27 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm and the St John’s Centre in Bury St Edmunds on Sunday, August 28 at 7.30pm.
Miss Wyllie, who studied at King Edward VI School in Bury St Edmunds before graduating in acting and performing arts from Hull University and Drama Studio London, said: “This is a unique experience in the region because it is a mini tour.
“There is nothing like that in the region at the moment. It is the closest thing young people get to gaining real work experience in the theatre profession. They are learning from professionals.”
The live adaptation of the classic C S Lewis children’s story includes puppetry, flying and buckets of magic!
“It is going to be really exciting because it is the first time Spinning Wheel Theatre has done something like this.
“It is going to be really hard work but an exciting challenge. It will be done traditionally but will be quite a physical and magical show,” Miss Wyllie added.
Tickets cost £7, or £5 for concessions, and to book visit www.spinningwheeltheatre.com.
Tickets for the shows on August 27 are available from the John Peel Centre box office by calling 01449 774678.

The Very Rev Martin Thrower, 55, was quizzed by police earlier this month and released on police bail but has been unable to return to his duties at the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Suffolk.
His wife, Pauline Thrower, has issued a statement saying that her family was supporting him with “unconditional love” following his arrest.
It said: “It is with great sadness that we find ourselves in the situation we are now in.
“Whilst this has come as a shock to us as a family we are all supporting Martin with unconditional love at this difficult time.”
Rev Thrower has been rector of Hadleigh with Layham and Shelley, Suffolk, since 2009 and has since become Dean of Bocking and Rural Dean of Hadleigh, Suffolk.
John Howard, spokesman for the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, said: “I can confirm that The Very Rev Martin Thrower, Rector of Hadleigh, Layham and Shelley, and also rural dean of Hadleigh, has been arrested by Suffolk Constabulary for voyeurism.
“He has been suspended from all offices within the diocese until further notice. We have made arrangements to look after his church duties and to offer support to his parishes at this difficult time.
“We will make no further comment while the police investigation is ongoing.
“Our thoughts and prayers are very much with everyone affected by this situation.”
Rev Thrower attracted some controversy three years ago when he announced plans to remove many of the pews at St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh, Suffolk, to create a more flexible space.
The Victorian Society objected to the plans, but after getting permission from the church authorities this work was carried out - leading to the church being used much more by a wider variety of groups.
One of these is the Porch Project for youngsters from 11 to 20 who meet there twice a week for leisure activities.
Although it is backed by St Mary’s and meets there, it is a separate organisation and supports 300 youngsters in a town where there have been criticisms in the past of a lack of activities for young people.
At the time of the controversy over the pews Mr Thrower said: “Churches weren’t built with pews in - they were built to be the community space, to have the market in and host big meetings and we have an aspiration to return the building to being the true parish church.”
Suffolk Constabulary confirmed Rev Thrower was arrested on August 4 and has been bailed to return to the Police Investigation Centre in Martlesham in October. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/latest-news/hadleigh-clergyman-martin-thrower-arrested-on-suspicion-of-voyeurism-1-7550162 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/9a20f43d91c1d572f479b071c9f88deb49b78d27f206fdcefdd3856712dd0705.json |

Bryan Symonds, of Bacton United 89 FC, was named winner of the National Step 7
And Below Award category at the Groundsman of the Year Awards, organised by The FA.
The 73-year- old, who won the Suffolk FA competition earlier this year, attended the awards event at the Hilton Hotel at St George’s Park on Tuesday.
Symonds, who was accompanied by club treasurer Martin Feverue, said: “It was a fabulous day out.
“I was surprised at the size of the place – the buildings and layout – and the pitches are phenomenal.
“When it came to the awards I was starting to think we were going to come away with nothing when clubs that were highly commended, third-placed and second-placed were read out and we were not among them.
“When it was announced that we had won I could not believe it.”
Winning the award capped off a memorable day that included a question and answer session with a panel of professional groundsmen and judges.
These included Alan Ferguson, head of grounds and estates at St George’s Park, Karl Standley, the head groundsman at Wembley Stadium, plus Lee Jackson and Andy Gray, head groundsmen at Manchester City and Southampton respectively.
Ironically, Ferguson, who was living at nearby Mendlesham and was Ipswich Town groundsman at the time, helped to advise Bacton on their pitches before the club moved to Brickwall Meadow in 2009.
There was then a tour of the site which included a focus on different types of pitch construction, new pitch maintenance practices, and a chance to view some of the machinery used on the site, before lunch was followed by the awards ceremony.
Although he is the groundsman, Symonds said that it was a real team effort at Bacton and praised the contribution of president Keith Miller, Roger Lawson, John Evans, Ivan Alexander and Neil Hitter.
“It would not be possible to do what we do without their help,” said Symonds.
“When we got back home we took the cup up to the ground and the first team, who were training, stopped and started clapping.” | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/football/suffolk-groundsman-symonds-scoops-national-award-1-7537172 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/d9ebf164b37d363f08eec6e5ef4666690aa3cec6d42a7719685aa5ae7f637e20.json |

Good GCSE grades, good pay and weather, fast broadband and access to GPS placed Cambridgeshire second in the uSwitch Better Family Life Index of 138 local authorities based on 33 aspects important to family life.
Neighbouring Hertfordshire topped the list with nearby Central Bedfordshire third places making the top three all in the east of England.
Scotland fared the least well, with East and North Ayrshire suffering the poorest ranking owing to higher crime, lower exam results, lower pay and less time spent with loved ones.
Leicester was ranked worst in England and second from the bottom overall with the fourth worst employment in the UK, fewer primary schools, high council tax and poor exam results.
Tashema Jackson, uSwitch.com money spokeswoman, said: “The Better Family Life Index shows that life is far from equal for families across the UK.
“Although there is much to celebrate in many areas, it’s not surprising that so many families are thinking about moving to a new region to improve their circumstances.
“For many consumers, the prospect of increased uncertainty in the run-up to Brexit may be a turning point, leading us to re-evaluate both how we manage our household budgets and how we provide stability for our families in the future. Policymakers would do well to follow suit.
“With the new government yet to announce its budgetary priorities it is vital that positive changes are made to help give all families fair opportunities no matter where they live - whether it is access to a good education, childcare, housing, GPs or jobs. Quality of life should not be a postcode lottery.”
The top 10 areas in the uSwitch Better Family Life Index 2016 are:

As a month long Think! Speed police campaign ends today new dash cam footage has been released showing the importance of the “twenty’s plenty” message often given for driving in residential streets.
The shocking video captures the moment a little boy gets hit by a van. The van was travelling at 20mph at the time of the collision. If it had been going just 10mph faster the likelihood of death would have been five times higher.
The shocking moment the boy ran out into the street captured on dash cam
The youngster - believed to be eight - charges out into the road between two parked vehicles and flies off the van’s bumper after being struck before tumbling onto the road and running off.
The van driver is completely unsighted and could do nothing to avoid the collision with the boy, who was badly bruised but otherwise unhurt.
Throughout August the county’s Road Policing Units have been out in force targeting motorists breaking the law.
The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your license however drivers across the county are warned that the speed limit is a limit not a target. In some road conditions or road layouts even driving at the speed limit could be too fast.
Speed limits are not targets
Traffic Sergeant Ian Manley said: “Those who speed put not only their own lives at risk but also the lives of others.
“The faster you drive the less time you have to react. Speed remains one of the biggest factors in fatal collisions.
“The difference of a few miles per hour can mean the difference between life and death. The faster someone is driving, the less time they have to stop if something unexpected happens.
“There will be times when you need to drive under the speed limit in order to drive correctly for the conditions or layout of the road.
“I would urge anyone who drives to help us protect road users by reducing your speed and driving to the conditions of the roads.
“If you kill someone while speeding, you will have to live with the long-term emotional consequences. Remember that speed limits are there for a reason.”
* Make sure you leave plenty of time for your journey, taking into account traffic
* Watch out for changes in the speed limit
* Drive to suit the conditions and the layout of the road
* Don’t let peer pressure encourage you to break the law
* Don’t assume it’s safe to break the speed limit because there is less traffic.
* Don’t be tempted to put your foot down because the road ahead appears clear. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/latest-news/graphic-video-dash-cam-footage-of-young-boy-being-hit-by-van-gives-stark-warning-at-end-of-police-speed-campaign-1-7553808 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/d934c0fd2b2409df2ee09626130b89479044653fbe4b023f91066d5846e03bd3.json |

At Newmarket Academy principal Nick Froy said his Year 11 pupils had made even more progress than last year in the government’s measure of school performance.
Mildenhall College Academy students ANL-160825-134107001
Top performers included Anna Armstrong with two A*s, two distinctions, six As and 1B; Sylvia Moore with 3A*s, 1 distinction, five As and two Bs; Henry Frost with 2 A*s, seven As and two Bs and Alex pearson with two A*s, seven As, one B abd one merit.
“The results confirm the academy’s continuing transformation and validates our commitment to every child in the school and not just those on the borderline between C and D grades in the old measure. We are very pleased that on average our students in Year 11 made greater than nationally expected levels of progress. It means that we can be confident that our strategy of recognising the needs of every child is the right one.”
Pupils’ results at Soham Village College equalled last years which were its best ever. Seventy per cent of students a grade A* to C in at least five GCSEs including maths and English. And the number of students achieving the top A* grades increased again with Nick Threadgold and Rebecca Revie gaining 10 A*s each and a further 17 students achieving the majority of their exams with A* grades. Those high scorers included: Jade Jesty, Imogen Hayton, Ellen Solberg-Williams, Bethany Cawthorne, Dominic Wills, Joshua Lowe, Megan Simpson, Jamie Gooding, Stephanie Susanto, Rory Kemp, Saskia Winkel and Natasha Malkin.
“Once again we are delighted that so many students of all abilities have made such good progress across the whole range of GCSE subjects. We congratulate then all and wish them every success as they move onto the next phase of their education or training,” said principal Dr Carin Taylor.
At Mildenhall College Academy the results saw a 64 per cent increase in the number of A* grades awarded to students.
New performance measures for GCSEs are in place this year, which means a change to the way exam results are reported.
Progress 8 aims to capture the progress a pupil makes from the end of primary school to the end of secondary school and for students at Mildenhall College Academy this measure is above the national average.
Principal, Susan Byles, said: “We are incredibly pleased with these results which represent outstanding progress for the students in this year group.
“The Fischer Family Trust predicted that 44-48 per cent of this cohort would achieve five or more A*-C grades including English and maths.
“Following in the footsteps of Team GB, this year group has smashed those predictions. What is even more impressive is that they have done this despite having a very rocky start to their secondary education which was spent in the last year of closing middle schools. The students had to ‘catch up’ significant gaps in knowledge and from the day they started with us.”
One notable performance came from Taylor Jane Miller who overcame significant difficulties to achieve 12 GCSEs of which six were A and B

A poll of more than 8,000 over-50s shows that one in eight grandparents will look after grandchildren once a week over the school summer holidays, with a further one in eight will be on childminding duties twice per week.
However, one in twenty grandparents say they will be hosting their grandchildren three days a week while school is out for the summer, according to the research by Saga Car Insurance.
And it’s not just their time that will be donated - one in five say they will spend well over £200 keeping the children occupied. Days out to the beach (77 per cent) and on shopping trips (35 per cent) are the most popular distractions, although some grandparents are even taking their grandchildren on a holiday either in the UK (14 per cent) or abroad (5 per cent).
Grandparents in the North East are the most likely to babysit grandchildren over the school summer holidays, while those in the East Midlands are least likely to.
The Scots are most likely to spend big on their grandkids, with one in four expecting to spend more than £200 during the school holiday period.
Sue Green, Head of Saga Car Insurance, commented: “It looks as though children are in for an action-packed summer which is full of adventure if nan and granddad are in charge over the next couple of weeks. Grandparents really are generous giving up their time and money to help with childcare over the summer holidays and I’m sure they are really looking forward to spending some quality time with their grandchildren.” | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/latest-news/grandparents-to-the-rescue-over-school-summer-holidays-1-7528657 | en | 2016-08-16T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/9a0885d9c543a3b7de1eb00a1ed4b5529186e3887157c834867cad911e84df20.json |

The hospital has been awarded stage two baby friendly status by UNICEF (United Nation’s Children’s Fund) for the support it offers parents to help them make informed decisions about feeding their babies.
To achieve the status, the hospital had to demonstrate that the right training and education is in place to give staff the necessary practical skills and knowledge to successfully support breastfeeding mothers.
The hospital hopes to achieve stage three – the final milestone – by August next year. To gain the status, parents using the hospital’s maternity and neonatal services will be asked their opinions about the care they have received.
Bernadine Bramble, general manager for women and children at the hospital said: “We are absolutely delighted that we have achieved this important status, which shows that parents who have their babies at the hospital are receiving the right help to make sure their children get the best possible start in life.
“Breastfeeding protects babies against a wide range of serious illnesses, including gastroenteritis and respiratory infections in infancy as well as allergies and diabetes in childhood. It can also help protect mum too, by reducing the risk of some cancers.
“But breastfeeding isn’t always easy and lots of new mothers need support. We’re committed to making sure they get the help they need and are pleased that has been recognised by UNICEF.”

Lakenheath-based Wallis was not optimistic before the Ladbrokes Summer Classic, but was quick to praise Ferryforth Fran after the race.
“He won entirely on merit. After a good break from trap 4 Fran found himself closer to the front than you would have expected. He unleashed a power-packed finish to swoop past early leader Ballymac Ramsey on the run-in to land a sensational victory,” said Wallis.
Owner Alan Morton had travelled down from Scotland to watch Ferryforth Fran, his first venture into greyhound racing, take the honours.
To round off a great night at Monmore, Billys Bullet and Ribble Atom also chalked up wins.
At Romford on Friday, two of the trainer’s three entries made it through to the semi-finals of Coral Champion Stakes, which are on the same track tomorrow night. The final, next Wednesday, has a £10,000 prize on offer.
Roswell Romanov produced the fastest heat win in 35.42secs, and Ribble Aon won her heat in 35.53. But the strongly fancied Swift Whirlwind went out.
Wallis also has two runners in the final of the Lowther Stakes at Towcester on Saturday after Airforce Duchess and Domino Storm won their heats last week. On Sunday Chubbys Oak goes in the Henlow Maiden Derby final.
There was disappointment at Nottingham on Monday when Garryglass Teddy finished fourth in the Puppy Classic semi-final heats.
At Sheffield on Tuesday Calco Flyer finished second in a Betfred Steel City Cup heat. Ela Ela Genie won a support race, and Ferryforth Fran finished second in a support race. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/other-sport/fran-springs-big-surprise-1-7544078 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/99f691a5075d34936c71a52660830d334c81ea56034042458f506f25e1187508.json |

A study of 1,500 Brits exploring the influence of packaging and branding on shopping habits found that one in six people thought the Coca-Cola bottle was the most identifiable in terms of packaging.
Indeed, it was deemed to be just as recognisable without its logo or the product itself.
The research, commissioned by Easyfairs, organisers of Packing Innovations and Luxury Packaging London, found the Toblerone triangular chocolate bar finished as a close runner up, with Marmite’s glass jar rated as third-best-loved product packaging.
Beauty brands, such as the Tiffany Box and the Chanel No.5 Bottle just missed out on the top ten.
Coke’s success has been attributed to its targeting younger audience, with one in five Millennials selecting the bottle as the most recognisable pack product.Pringles’ iconic cylinder tube, fourth on the overall list, was the Millennial’s second favourite.
The study also revealed barcodes as the greatest packaging invention, ahead of more traditional items such as the cardboard box (21 per cent) - although the younger generation, 18-34 years, voted for 3D printing and re-sealable zips as its top two.
Gerry Sherwood, Event Director for the Easyfairs’ Packaging Portfolio, who commissioned the survey, said: “Millennials have officially passed Baby Boomers as the largest generation in history, and are more personally connected to their favourite brands than ever before. It is therefore not surprising to see 3D printing come out top in our poll for this age group.”

Commuters on the Norwich line have been getting first class views of some of Britain’s rarest breeding birds as they pass Lakenheath Fen.
Staff and volunteers at the reserve have been overjoyed that for the second year running, two pairs of cranes have successfully raised three chicks between them on the man-made wetland. But to top it off, the birds, which are shy and secretive in the breeding season, have done it in front of an audience of commuters on the Abellio Greater Anglia route between Norwich and Ely.

Only about 25 pairs of cranes breed in the UK each year.
Lakenheath Fen site manager, Dave Rogers said:“Our two pairs of crane parents have done us proud. We put a lot of effort into creating a great home for them here at Lakenheath Fen and they have repaid us.
“The fact that people have been able to spot them from the train as it passes the reserve has only added to the excitement.
“They are such charismatic birds and we look forward to seeing them ranging across the Fens this autumn and winter and mixing in with the other Fenland cranes that now breed in our watery part of the country.”

By using a remote trail camera set up in one of the birds’ favoured feeding spots, Dave and his team were able to capture intimate photographs of one of the reserve’s pairs of adult cranes with their two chicks.
These two chicks made their maiden flight in July. Since then they have been feeding and building up their strength and confidence under the watchful eyes of their parents, before they leave the reserve in the autumn to feed across the wider Fens.
It has not all been plain sailing for the birds because a pair known as ‘Little and Large’failed in their first attempt to breed but succeeded in raising one chick on the second attempt. It is the first time they have managed to do that.
Lakenheath Fen reserve marks its 20 anniversary this year. The RSPB bought farmland between the River Little Ouse and the railway line in 1995 to recreate a wetland, which is now home to many reedbed rarities, including bitterns and bearded tits.
Cranes arrived from Europe in 2007 and when they had their first chicks in 2009, it was the first time they had bred in the Fens for 400 years. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/latest-news/video-the-crane-now-leaving-platform-one-at-lakenheath-1-7540253 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/07d48ce61805b5db97dfb1d85f399ce4775c6dc88256bcdfa3b1ae866845fdc0.json |

The annual tournament sees the winners of all the Super League competitions across the country come together for a one-day event, which this year was held at the Event City in Manchester.
The Flyers won the Cambridgeshire Ladies League to earn their place in this year’s Champions Cup and began the tournament with wins over Suffolk (4-1) and West of England (5-0) to win their group and advance to the knockout stage.
Another whitewash win followed in the quarter-finals as they eased past Stewartby Sirens of Bedfordshire 5-0, before a 4-1 triumph over London’s Edmonton Ladies booked their place in the final.
The Flyers showed no signs of nerves in the final as they whitewashed their Nottinghamshire opponents 5-0 to lift the Champions Cup for a fourth time.
“We’ve been very successful in the Champions Cup in recent years,” Sandra Greatbatch beamed. “The team has been together for a while and we all blend together.
“No one worries about what everyone else is doing, which was important because we all had to play at the same time on different boards.
“It was very important that we concentrated on our own game and didn’t look at what was happening elsewhere.”
n The Flyers kicked off their new league campaign with a 5-1 win against Cambridge Wanderers on Sunday. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/other-sport/another-champions-cup-for-all-conquering-flyers-1-7544088 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/01550af4ed54ea57be5626fa8280d43ae0d891ec2d4a955ff65f081c4acbdcb5.json |

For the first time these two Suffolk based Theatrical institutions join together to present the rippingest of ripping yarns.
Recently returned from the colonies, Richard Hannay is terribly bored.
In need of something entirely pointless to do, he goes to the theatre! From this innocuous beginning, Hannay is plunged into adventure involving the stupendous Mr Memory, an exotic female spy, the sinister Professor Jordan and an array of heavies.
The thrilling film by Alfred Hitchcock from the story by John Buchan is made larger-than-life on stage courtesy of a cast of thousands… and four actors!
The show features local actor Joe Leat (Eastern Angles, Common Ground Theatre Company), he returns to the Theatre Royal after recently appearing in Breathing the Blue (2016) and The Count of Monte Cristo (2015).
The ensemble cast is completed by Simon Stanhope, Amy Christina Murray and Clive Flint.
The play originates from the pens of writers Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon who came up with the idea of staging the whole adventure with just four actors and a lot of ingenuity.
First produced at the Georgian Theatre, Richmond, North Yorkshire, it became an instant success and subsequently toured the UK.
The 39 Steps has been adapted by Patrick Barlow from an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon by arrangement of Fiery Angel LTD. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/what-s-on/john-buchan-s-classic-thriller-to-be-staged-at-bury-st-edmunds-theatre-royal-1-7535359 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/ed5118b8110a35fa78dee8058759f5d84358284c3845caa19b7f13ef293797c1.json |

Wallis won the event last year with Patchys Kerry, but the 2013 dog has since been switched to David Pruhs’ kennel by the owner.
Even so, the Imperials Kennel handler is still planning to enter four or five dogs as he goes in search of back-to-back glory.
“We are entering at least Swift Whirlwind and Tellhimjohn, both of whom have very good chances.
“It is a title that we will be doing our best to retain.”
Saturday sees Domino Storm go in the semi-finals of the Lowther Stakes at Towcester.
The bitch will take some good form into the meeting, having triumphed during last week’s heat.
“She is the favourite but she is going to have to do everything right to win what is a tough competition,” said Wallis. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/other-sport/hectic-schedule-sees-wallis-go-in-search-of-category-one-glory-1-7533134 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/338d0b87dc7ccab521c4bc3006204fd7724812261141e46363fee497e2a51e89.json |

Mr Corbyn, MP for Islington North, will replace Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, who was due to appear at the annual event, which commemorates the longest-running strike in history.
Jeremy Corbyn is a lifelong supporter of the Burston Strike School, and his presence at the rally last year gave the attendance a significant boost
A regular in recent years, his increased profile last year while competing to become Labour leader saw the rally’s attendance in 2015 swell to 3,000, and is a late addition to this year’s event.
A spokesperson for the rally said: “The organisers of the Strike School Rally unfortunately have to report that the shadow chancellor John McDonnell MP will no longer be one of the speakers at the event this year.
“John is a hugely popular figure and many people will be greatly disappointed to hear that he will not be in attendance.
“Jeremy Corbyn is a lifelong supporter of the Burston Strike School, and his presence at the rally last year gave the attendance a significant boost.”
The day’s proceedings will kick off 10.45am, with a number of bands, poets, and speakers set to attend.
Musical entertainment on the day will be provided by Steve White and the Protest Family, Red Flags, the NASUWT Brass Band, and the Banner Theatre 1st May Band, while performance poet Attilla the Stockbroker is due to perform, as well as renowned poet, humourist and musician John Hegley.
Suffolk Punches will also lead the march around the ‘candlestick’, which follows the route of the children’s original demonstration.

With just three games to go, surely it is theirs to lose now.
Mildenhall beat Frinton II’s by 35 runs thanks to another good knock from Steve Taylor, Mildenhall 255-7, Taylor 82, Frinton 220-7, Joe Reed 3-28.
Their remaining fixtures are Witham away this Saturday then home to Hadleigh, before finishing off with an away trip to Haverhill.
After last week’s unexpected victory, Worlington must have had high hopes of another win when they posted 314-4 against Hadleigh, thanks to Jimmy Watson 113 and Chris Baugh 108, but they were well beaten in the end by five wickets. Hadleigh made 317-5 with Tom Piddington staying undefeated on 153 not out, ably backed by Marlon Dias 69.
This Saturday, Worlington travel to Haverhill while Hadleigh entertain Wivenhoe.
Halstead beat Braintree by five wickets, Braintree 253-6, Halstead 254-5, Charlie Douglas-Hughes 73. Coggeshall are the visitors this Saturday.
Haverhill won a close encounter with Coggeshall by just 10 runs. Haverhill 237-5, Chris Palmer 67, Coggeshall 227, Palmer 3-25.
It will take a miracle now for Exning to avoid relegation as they were well beaten by local rivals Mildenhall II by eight wickets.
Exning 129, Dominic Nelson 33, Jon Allen 3-27, Mildenhall 130-2, Steve Graham 66. Exning travel to East Bergholt on Saturday.
Long Melford were well beaten by 86 runs by Dunmow, who scored 309-6 and then restricted Melford to 223-6, Cameron Stace 115 no. Melford visit Mildenhall II next.
Lakenheath earned themselves a much needed victory over Easton thanks to a century by opener Rob Horrex.
Lakenheath 223-9, Horrex 120, Easton 151-9, Adam Horrex 3-46, Paul Pallant 3-6, Tim Milner 2-11.
It’s good to see these aging bowlers turning in some good performances with the ball. It’s a trip to Dunmow next for Lakenheath on Saturday.
In Division Six, Stowmarket have won the league after beating Kelvedon and Feering by 133 runs.
Stowmarket 241-5, Michael Ives 147no, Kelvedon 108, George Tillbrook 3-20, Dale Whatling 3-13.
Their final game of the season is away at Long Melford II.
For our clubs in the top two divisions there is still a lot to play for as we head into the final three games.
Some of our sides are dangerously close to the relegation places in both divisions.
They all have tough games this weekend, but if they play to the best of their abilities then there is no reason why they shouldn’t come away with victories.
I shall be umpiring in the game at Witham, where Mildenhall are the visitors which promises to be the match of the day.
I strongly recommend a visit to the Worlington Beer Festival over the weekend, with 11 beers, five ciders and Jimmy Watson and Graham Ford the burger kings you can’t go wrong.

Police had been called at around 7.45am following reports a man had been stabbed at the property. Moments later a second call was received from a member of the public who reported they had been driving along the road when they came across a young woman who had been stabbed.
A teenage girl was found to have sustained a stab wound to her abdomen, one to her shoulder, and a slash wound to her arm, and a man in his 50s, had a stab wound to his chest.
Both were taken to Addenbrooke’s hospital but the man has now been discharged. The teenage girl is recovering in hospital and is likely to be discharged in the next few days.
Police arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm in connection with the incident.
Laszlo Takacs, of Windsor Road, was later charged and was due to appear at Ipswich Magistrates’ Court today. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/latest-news/teenager-in-court-after-double-stabbing-in-newmarket-1-7539738 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/3c585b4efa11f962e6fb71ac24f87e75e346407eeae1fd86caa076051fd3eab9.json |

Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s star performer has won all three of his starts this season and with a rating of 124, is Europe’s highest rated horse.
Postponed was ruled out of the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot with a respiratory infection.
He won twice in Dubai, winning the Dubai City of Gold before an impressive success in the Dubai Sheema Classic.
When last seen in action he landed the Coronation Cup at Epsom where he beat Breeders’ Cup winner Found by four-and-a-half lengths.
At www.varianstable.com, Varian said: “We are looking forward to dropping back to ten furlongs and this race has been an objective of ours since the start of the season.
“He is a colt with terrific turn of foot and a high cruising speed. These attributes and the manner in which that he has been winning over a mile-and-a-half suggest that the drop back in trip shouldn’t be a problem.
“The nature of the track at York should play to his strengths.
“With five other Group 1 winners in the race, this looks a strong renewal but he seems fully recovered from the setback which ruled him out of the King George.
“He looks well and his work has been very pleasing.”
Postponed, ridden by Andrea Atzeni, is well-drawn in six and will be joined by pacemaker King Bolete (Jack Mitchell). | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/postponed-will-run-in-the-juddmonte-1-7527109 | en | 2016-08-15T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/7d4e103caacadc90f4b627e8d5f01c6595f8ecafa13596b212d11aca3f8e719b.json |

The Hall have made a flying start to the new Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division campaign, winning all four of their league fixtures so far to sit at the top of the table.
And ahead of hosting fourth-placed Felixstowe and Walton United on Saturday (3pm), and then travelling to local rivals Newmarket Town on Tuesday night (7.45pm), Greygoose believes his side have frightened the opposition in some of their wins so far in 2016/17.
“I’d like to think teams will be scared of us,” said the Mildenhall boss, who watched his side cruise to a 5-1 win at Fakenham Town on Saturday.
“We treat any team we play with respect, but there’s been a couple of teams we’ve played who have been scared of us.
“Saturday against Fakenham we were playing against gale force wind and it was some of the best football we’ve played since I’ve been here.
“Apart from the FA Cup, which was the only disappointment so far, we’ve started really well.
“I set high standards for the team in training and in games and it would be great if we could win the next two games.
“But the season has only just started and there’s going to be lots of twists and turns along the way.”
The next two games will come too quick for midfielder Gareth Simpson (injured), while summer signing George Tolliday could make his debut against Newmarket.
The Jockeys have also made a strong start to the new season, with Tuesday’s 2-1 win at home to Thetford Town propelling them up to third place in the fledgling Premier Division table.
With striker Matt Hayden not expected to return from injury for another few weeks, Jamie Thurlbourne has taken up the goalscoring mantle to help Newmarket record three wins from their three league outings so far. Before Tuesday’s derby with Mildenhall, Jockeys boss Kevin Grainger takes his side to second place Gorleston on Saturday (3pm).
“I’m pleased with how we’ve started,” he said. “We’re nowhere near firing yet but it’s a new team, new players.
“It’s been a good reaction since going out of the FA Cup and we’ve got two big games coming up which are not going to be easy at all.
“It’s still early days where anything can happen. There was a good crowd on Tuesday for the Thetford game and hopefully more will come and watch us this season.
“With the investment we’ve had in the ground it’s a lovely place to play and watch football, especially the night games under the floodlights.”
Grainger was dealt a blow this week when summer signing Charlie Bowen left to join higher league Histon, but his squad was boosted by the returns of Austen Diaper and Mark Webster on Tuesday.

The ‘yellow’ warning was issued at 11am this morning (Friday) and warns of strong winds and heavy, blustery showers covering large parts of England and Wales.
The weather warning will be in place from 2am tomorrow (Saturday) until 9pm tomorrow night.
The Met Office warns: “A spell of unseasonably strong southwesterly winds, accompanied by heavy, blustery showers, is expected to reach the southwest of the UK during the early hours of Saturday, moving east across many parts of England and Wales through the day.
“Gusts are expected to reach 40-50 mph inland, and 50 to very locally 60 mph along exposed coastlines in the south and west.
“Please be aware that these winds may lead to disruption to transport, and in view of the time of the year, there is increased potential for disruption to outdoor activities.
“Also, strong winds and large waves will coincide with a period of spring tides this weekend. This is expected to lead to some localised instances of spray and wave over-topping of flood defences around the coasts of southwest England and Wales.

The warning comes today, National Dog Day, after Suffolk County Council’s Trading Standards team quarantined a bichon frise puppy when a vet discovered it had been brought into the UK illegally, unbeknown to her owners from Stowmarket.
The puppy has come from Romania and was found to have been given vaccination too early to be effective so it has been quarantined and will be re-vaccinated before it can be released.
An imported dog must be a minimum of 12 weeks old when vaccinated or it may be ineffective. A vaccine also takes at least 21 days before an animal is fully protected.
The regulations on animal imports protect the UK’s rabies free status.
Trading Standards is now advising people to make sure they know where their new puppy has come from and has had a health check by a vet.
Councillor Matthew Hicks, Suffolk County Council’s cabinet member for environment and public protection said: “The main issue around illegally imported puppies is that we cannot guarantee that the dogs are properly vaccinated and rabies-free.
“These puppies are usually sold via adverts on the internet and in newspaper small ads. The dogs are often accompanied by incomplete, false, and forged documentation which lead buyers to believe they have been imported legally or bred in the UK.”
Trading Standards advise getting as much information as possible about where the puppy has come from and be suspicious if the seller cannot show you the puppy with its mother and litter mates.
If the puppy has been vaccinated, ask to see the documentation, which must clearly state the veterinary practice that did it.
A puppy brought in from another country, should have a pet passport with a valid rabies vaccination recorded in it, which must be at least 21 days before it travelled and the dog must have been at least 12 weeks old.
Full details of the Pet Passport system can be found at www.gov.uk/take-pet-abroad/overview
Anyone concerned about a puppy they have bought should contact their vet. If you suspect your puppy has been illegally imported, report it to Trading Standards on 03454 040506 | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/latest-news/dog-day-warning-on-illegally-imported-puppies-1-7546204 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/ea1b627ceafb625c42bd1207b1d18e94ce3c290c42e0f328e392716f739ddf8f.json |

After 35 years at the top of her profession, 12 books and a series of overseas tours, including to Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada, she now plans to step back from teaching, lecturing and major exhibitions to concentrate on more personal art and writing.
Her show ‘Curtain Call’ might be just that - a last opportunity to see a large body of her contemporary work at a single venue.
With exhibits ranging from work created over the last three years especially for this event, to pieces which have formed the basis for masterclasses, overseas tours and, most recently, her widely acclaimed new series of e-books and patterns, this is a fascinating insight to work of an artist who has made a lasting and unique contribution to the genre.
There is even the opportunity to acquire original, signed, page proofs from her bestselling books.
Part of the exhibition profits will be donated to the WWF in support of the Amur leopard, a rare, endangered species whose image forms the signature icon for the exhibition.
The exhibition continues until September 11. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/what-s-on/leading-artist-to-hold-a-new-one-woman-show-in-bury-st-edmunds-1-7512006 | en | 2016-08-14T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/4a03c812b4cb5d037322c0d9e17e5a75af92018f85d5338ddff3508329bdf281.json |

This event replaces the Mildenhall Cycling Rally and is being held at the picturesque venue that surrounds the West Row Village Hall complex.
“The Rally was known throughout the UK’s cycling community as one of the best all-round cycling weekends that appealed to cyclists of all ages and especially families,” said Mark Burchett, the chairman of the organisers, Mildenhall Cycling Club.
“The one-day event is purely an interim measure allowing us to fully test the facilities at the new venue before we return to a three-day festival in 2017.”
As a prelude to the Cycling and Fun Day, a quiz night is being held on Saturday evening, where teams of up to six participants can enter.
The grass-track forms the centrepiece of the one-day event on Sunday, with a full day of racing planned from 10am, starting with the juvenile riders (under-16s) in the morning and then the seniors in the afternoon.
The highlight on track will be the British Cycling National 400m Championship, with the presentation of the medals at 3.30pm to be followed by a free to enter one-lap race for children.
There will also be a Watt Bike 250m Challenge for riders to test their speed, as well as regular traders from the Rally’s trade show on site.
A social ride for ladies starts at 10am and will include a cafe stop, while on the touring front there will be 57, 100, 160 and 200km rides organised by Cyclists Touring Club Suffolk.

In a local derby of two hugely contrasting halves, it was Mildenhall Town that were celebrating come the final whistle at the Ridgeons Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Hosting Newmarket Town were well worth their 1-0 half-time lead and could have been a goal or two more in the ascendancy.
But it was a revitalised Mildenhall that took to the 3G pitch after the restart, culminating in them scoring three unanswered goals to take the spoils with them back down the A11.
The influence of the unavailable Stephen Spriggs and Matt Green was sorely missed during the weekend’s home defeat to Felixstowe & Walton United, but both were restored to the Mildenhall starting line-up by manager Dean Greygoose.
However, the midfield duo — along with their team-mates — struggled to get a grip on proceedings during the opening 45 minutes as the Jockeys dominated the contest.
The clock flashed up nine minutes when Newmarket attacker Lewis Whitehead received possession wide on the left. He proceeded to cut inside his marker David Cooper, only to then shoot wide of the target.
Six minutes later Austen Diaper was sent racing clear on Josh Pope’s goal, but he got his shot all wrong as the ball rolled harmlessly wide.
The home team continued to probe with some neat passing moves, yet it was the direct approach that eventually paid dividends in the 27th minute.
Goalkeeper Ben Nower’s long goal kick was flicked on by Steve Holder and on this occasion the lively Whitehead made no mistake with a lob that left Pope stranded.
It was a relatively blunt response from Mildenhall as the half drew to a close, with their only real attempt coming from Sam Parkinson, who drove straight at Nower.
But whatever was said in the away dressing room during the interval certainly had a defining impact on the encounter.
Captain Luke Butcher headed over when well placed, while Spriggs drove into the side netting from a narrow angle.
That was followed by a speculative effort from distance by Cooper that left Nower rooted as it flew just wide, before Chris Bacon headed Green’s cross wide — all of this before the hour mark.
Mildenhall were now well in the ascendancy and there was a sense of inevitability about their equalising goal in the 65th minute.
Spriggs sent over a corner from the right and this time there was nothing wrong with Butcher’s radar as he powered a header into the net.
Four minutes later and Greygoose’s men were in front. Sent off on Saturday, Bacon showed no ill effects as he made the most of the time and space he was afforded inside the Newmarket box to guide Parkinson’s cross in via the upright.
Ollie Snaith replaced Diaper as Newmarket searched for parity, yet while the quick-footed midfielder looked energetic, he could not inspire his side.
Instead it was Mildenhall that went on to score the game’s fourth and final goal through Parkinson. His strike from 10 yards out was not the cleanest, but it had enough accuracy to creep inside Nower’s far post.
It was a moment that not only killed off Newmarket’s challenge, but also ensured that Mildenhall remain top of the table with 15 points from their first six matches.
Newmarket, meanwhile, are five points further back in sixth with a game in hand.
Journal Man of the Match: Joe Asensi (Mildenhall) - Even during the first half when his side were below par, the left-back retained his composure. In the second half he did a good job of keeping the lively Whitehead quiet.
Newmarket: Nower, Dalby, Chivers, Bowen, Betson, Watson, Paterson (Wayne 78), Thurlbourne, Whitehead, Diaper (Snaith 70), Holder (Webster 82)
Mildenhall: Pope, Cooper, Butcher, Ruddy, Asensi, Parkinson, Green, Hilton, Spriggs (Munro 84), Clift (D Brown 62), Bacon

The play is on at 7.45pm at The Quay Theatre in Sudbury from Tuesday, September 6 to Saturday 10th.
Sue Townsend, author of the very popular Adrian Mole books, has crafted the funny and moving story of three severely agoraphobic women who, as part of a self-help group who have never met, have left their homes for the first time in years, and made it to a London church hall to run a rummage sale, organised by trainee social worker Fliss and ex-agoraphobic volunteer Gwenda.
She is helped and hindered by ex-professional singer Katrina, obsessive cleaner Isabel, loud-mouthed Margaret and Fliss, not to mention a nervous policewoman.
As the afternoon progresses, the distinction between the carers and the cared for becomes less and less clear.
But by the time they all leave it is apparent that although their agoraphobia is by no means cured but they have at least made a start.
SDS director Jon Scripps says of his all female cast: “I have watched my cast grow in confidence each week and have enjoyed watching their characters come through.
“I am looking forward to sharing our enjoyment of Bazaar and Rummage with the audience.”
Bazaar and Rummage was first staged in 1982 at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London.
The SDS Quay Theatre production is set very firmly in the 1980s but audiences need to note that it contains some strong language and adult humour.

Hadleigh United 0
Ely City 1
Ash Walter’s first-half header secured a 1-0 win for Ely City at Hadleigh United on Saturday.
Robins boss Brady Stone’s selection plans were slightly easier than they have been in previous weeks, with the same side from the 3-1 victory at Fakenham Town in the previous game starting at the Millfield at the weekend.
Matty Simpson had an early shot go wide for Ely, while at the other end Harry Reynolds dealt with a swirling corner well by punching off his line.
Hadleigh came the closest to breaking the deadlock when an attack down the Robins right produced a cross shot that clipped the far post and went away to safety.
The definitive moment of the game came in the 43rd minute when a lopping Simpson header was tipped over by the Hadleigh goalkeeper for a corner.
The first corner by Jamie Alsop was headed away at the near post and out of play, with the second delivery meeting the head of Walter, who powered his header home into the top right corner.
Ely will look to replicate their away form at home when they host Thetford Town on Saturday (3pm) and Saffron Walden Town on Tuesday (7.45pm).

With hopes of a top-four finish, and place in the end of season play-offs all but over for the West Row club, stalwart Halsey wants to see them dent the title aspirations of their arch rivals in the rearranged fixture.
The original clash between the two sides was scheduled for June, but the meeting was called off by Fen Tigers promoter Kevin Jolly over the visitors’ proposed use of a guest to cover.
Following an appeal, the Suffolk were side docked three league points and Jolly handed a £1250 fine, of which £1000 is suspended.
“I think that the rivalry had started to fade away until whatever happened over the original staging of the fixture,” said Halsey.
“Everyone is now fired up again, particularly Kevin (Jolly) who wants us to win and get one over them.
“Cradley will be a bit like a cup final for us as we have got nothing else left to ride for.
“Other than Max Clegg and Nathan Greaves (who is guesting for Ashley Morris) they are not that strong at all and there isn’t anyone else in the team that particularly stands out.
“I don’t want to get beat by either of them (Clegg or Greaves) and I will be going out there to do my job.”
After getting the better of the Stoke Potters 51-39 on Saturday night, a result which saw Halsey rack up an 18-point maximum, the Fen Tigers, for the second year running, failed to reach the final of the National League Fours at Coventry 24 hours later.
The quartet of Halsey, Jon Armstrong, Connor Coles and Jordan Jenkins, who was a late replacement for Alfie Bowtell, finished on 13 points in Group A, one point behind the second placed Heathens, and five behind table toppers, and eventual winners, Rye House Raiders.
“To be honest, I thought we would make the final, but I am happy as we acquitted ourselves well. They all showed some guts and gave me something,” said Jolly.
“Rye House had two big guns in Rob Branford and Ben Morley and things just fell in their favour.
“We just missed out and it would have been nice to make the final, but I am not going to get despondent about it.”
The Fen Tigers will travel to Loomer Road on Saturday to face the Stoke Potters in the league (7pm), before taking on Cradley 24 hours later.

Soham Town Rangers manager Robbie Nightingale spoke to deputy sports editor Liam Apicella after seeing his side held to a 0-0 draw by Witham Town on the opening day of the Ryman League Division One North season.
It was a case of being left to rue missed opportunities for the Greens, who squandered two golden chances in the second half.
First Kieran Bailey shot wide with the Witham goalkeeper stranded, before new centre-back Lloyd Groves turned the ball over the crossbar deep into stoppage time.
Nightingale also looked ahead to Tuesday night’s home encounter against Cheshunt (7.45pm), saying that he will have to assess a number of injury concerns ahead of kick-off. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/football/video-soham-boss-robbie-nightingale-on-witham-draw-and-tuesday-s-cheshunt-clash-1-7527545 | en | 2016-08-15T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/0560beb9af99b6803266e3a5b560091cfa115accf64cd0de5584dc9519927f0b.json |

Although drawn in a tough looking Group A alongside the likes of Eastbourne Eagles and Cradley Heathens, the Fen Tigers heat leader, who finished second in the Laurels at Sittingbourne on Monday, believes he and Armstrong can upstage their more fancied rivals at the Adrian Flux Arena.
“There are a couple of outstanding pairs," said Halsey.
"Obviously Eastbourne have Adam Ellis, while Cradley have Max Clegg and Ashley Morris and Rye House have Ben Morley and Rob Branford.
“But I don’t think anyone is stronger than me and Jon. I remember going there last year and Jon was riding for the Stoke Potters and he was near on unbeatable so hopefully he can do the same this year.
“Now we have got Jon back in top form and I’m riding well I think we can go there and win the Pairs on Saturday."
The Fen Tigers made it seven consecutive home wins in the National League on Sunday with a crushing 60-29 victory over the Cradley Heathens.
Although visiting captain Max Clegg ensured the shares were spoiled in the opening heat it was one-way traffic thereafter with the hosts chalking up a total of seven 5-1s on their way to a 31-point success over their arch rivals.
While there were two heat wins for a rejuvenated Alfie Bowtell, and four for Halsey, it was 15-year old reserve Jordan Jenkins who stole the show with a paid 13 total which included three heat wins.
"I wanted to get more than last time and I wanted double figures but that exceeded my expectations," said Jenkins.
"The team ride with Jon Armstrong in heat 10 felt good, so did the one when I cut back to pass Luke Chessell in heat 12."
The Fen Tigers will take on the Coventry Storm at Brandon in the National League on Friday (9pm) before entertaining the Rye House Raiders at West Row on Sunday (3.30pm).
Mildenhall Fen Tigers 60: J Armstrong 12+5, K Hughes R/R; C Coles 8+2, A Bowtell 9+1, D Halsey 14, S Bebee 5+2, J Jenkins 12+1.

Instead, the 18-year-old has vowed to start the 2017 National League campaign in better shape than he was prior to the injury.
A six-month battle lies ahead, but a determined Mountain is ready to meet the challenge head on.
“If I was able to ride tomorrow, I would,” he said.
“As a speedway rider you know that these things can happen, but if you let it cause concern, then you should not be riding.
“It will take six months to make a full recovery and I will not rush it. I want to make sure it heals properly.
“But I am planning to work extra hard over the winter months to get in the best condition I have ever been in.”
The incident that has left Mountain sidelined for the remainder of the year remains fresh in his memory.
After making an impressive start to the third heat of the night at the Perry Barr Stadium, the Fen Tiger encountered some unexpected grip out wide and had no chance of recovering the situation before he crashed into the solid fence.
“I remember getting up on to my knees straight away. I could feel pain in my back, but did not think it was broken,” he reflected.
“The medics took all of the precautions and given how serious the injury is, I am glad they did that.”
Subsequent tests revealed the extent of the damage — a cracked L3 vertebra in three separate places that required surgery.
A 15-day stint in two different Birmingham hospitals ensued while a date was set for the three-hour operation.
It has seen Mountain’s stricken L3 vertebra fused with its L2 and L4 counterparts.
The timing of the injury could not have been much worse for the Suffolk team and their rider, who had put in starring displays in recent victories over the Isle of Wight Warriors and the Buxton Hitmen.
That form had not gone unnoticed higher up the chain, with Premier League rides having been secured at Ipswich Witches and the Somerset Rebels.
“It was all going so well and it looked like I had rides booked to guest until the end of the season,” said the youngster.
“We were also starting to put some good results on the board at the Fen Tigers.
“We started the season pretty slowly and because of that the results were really inconsistent.
“But Dan (Halsey) was, and still is, getting the big points out there and I was doing the same.
“There was some genuine momentum building between the team, so from that point of view being out is really frustrating.”
Often when competitors are sidelined through injury, the frustration of not being able to perform keeps them away until fitness is restored.
However, Mountain is determined to buck that trend, largely to thank those for the support he has received over the last few weeks.
“I can walk around slowly and while standing for a long time might be difficult, I am hoping to be there to watch us against Cradley on Sunday,” he said.
“The support that has been given to me on social media, texts and phone calls has been incredible and pretty overwhelming.
“The fans at Mildenhall are amazing and they have proven that again.” | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/speedway/mountain-i-will-return-stronger-for-fen-tigers-1-7533044 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/e8ba62036cf6db3144bfedff48ab3ec8b0e2cd3490f7bc4ca5444a6813d9efb0.json |

Mankind Divided and so am I when it comes to reviewing the latest Deus Ex game after its launch last week.
There is so much to rave about in DEMD and I’m still enjoying it now over a week into the game.
But there are a number of elements which do not quite sit right with me.
Let’s start with the positives, though, and there are plenty of them.
There is layer upon layer in this game all expertly crafted together and beautifully designed.
The gameplay stands up to the high standards set by previous Deus Ex games and goes beyond them in many respects.
This is a game that will suit all types of gamers too.
Looking for a quick blast for an hour, you can jump on and get enough done to enjoy the experience, looking for longer, more involved sessions on your console then the gameplay rewards your patience, curiosity and creativity.
You play augmented human Jensen who is essentially the most deadly Power Ranger on the planet. I mean this guy has everything and would even give Superman a run for his money.
There are so many options to negotiate each scenario
And this is where my first problem lies with DEMD.
Sometimes, dare I say it, there are so many options available to you, so many ways to deal with scenarios and enemies and so much in your arsenal, it actually feels a bit ... easy.
‘Ramp up the difficulty setting!’ I hear you cry.
Well yes there’s that but my point is no matter what level you are playing at, Jensen just has too much at his disposal for his enemies to trouble him.
Sometimes, dare I say it, there are so many options available to you, so many ways to deal with scenarios and enemies and so much in your arsenal, it actually feels a bit ... easy. Damien Lucas, gaming columnist
But don’t get me wrong it’s still great fun entering a room littered with foes and walking out past a pile of them without breaking a sweat.
Another thing that doesn’t quite land for me is the Apartheid type references between the humans (naturals) and the augmented race. It is a poor attempt to give the storyline resonance with real life - for example there are posters dotted around saying things like ‘Augmented Lives Matter’ and it just feels a little frivolous.
I’m being hyper critical, though, and Deus Ex will go down as one of the games of the year of that there is no doubt.

Vocalist and keyboard player Dale, from Haverhill, has written the songs himself, but none of them would work as well as they do without the terrific input of The Incidentals, aka lead Guitarist Alex Coombes, Jack Sunaway on bass, Michael Pullman on acoustic guitar and Luke Andrews on drums.
The album, which is released on Saturday, August 13, benefits from the harmonising of not just the vocals, but the blending together of everything that each band member brings to every song.
The upbeat nature of the opening tune, Breaking Out, and the way in which it picks up the tempo just when you think it’s time to relax, sets the tone for the rest of the album’s nine songs.
Dale’s charismatic vocal power is prevalent throughout, but songs like Love You From Afar don’t allow him to dominate, as its balladic style is enhanced by the vocal harmonising between him and the rest of the band - there is even a rap sequence thrown in.
Inbetween Love has a bit of Buble swagger about it and includes a few fantastic riffs, never letting you settle into complacency and always keeping your musical senses intrigued.
Just a Little sweeps you along on a musical wave while the foot tapping intro, strong beats and faster vocals on Keep You Close, provide more evidence that Dale’s songwriting has matured since he released his first album, Make My Own Breaks, as a solo artist in 2013.
Two of his signature tunes from that collection of songs, Goodbye and Stay Away, have been reborn on this album and having once just been centred on vocals and keyboard, now have much more of a band sound.
The band is developing a name for itself and this album shows us why - and that they deserve all the breaks they can get. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/what-s-on/haverhill-band-s-debut-album-is-upbeat-and-stylish-1-7511278 | en | 2016-08-12T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/cbf243ac97723987519f4b9c3f11233a846fbef8a423456e66a3df59fd8fa9b0.json |

Visiting Garby went into the clash just 24 points adrift of league leaders Brooke, but they have now been leapfrogged by Saturday’s hosts, who won the contest by a 20-run margin.
In a relatively low-scoring affair, James Deacon top-scored with 76 to help the home team make 189-9 from their 50 overs.
In reply, Garboldisham lost four of their batsmen for ducks as they ultimately fell short.
Elsewhere at the other end of the table, Diss were plunged further into relegation trouble as they lost by 10 wickets to North Runcton.
In the Gibbs Denley East Anglian Premier League, struggling Suffolk rivals Bury and Woolpit played out a draw, while Burwell posted a hefty 400 runs in their win over Swardeston.
However, Ben Reece’s knock of 76 counted for little as Sudbury went down by seven wickets away at Copdock.
Mildenhall continued their march towards the Marshall Hatchick Two Counties Championship Division One title with a 91-run triumph over Copford.
Australian batsman Steve Taylor was Mildenhall’s star player as he scored 128 of his side’s 299 runs.
Meanwhile, Worlington returned to winning ways at the expense of Witham, with Halstead also celebrating a victory over Mistley.
Haverhill were unable to follow suit, though, as they lost by 70 runs to Braintree.

Provisional results collated in Suffolk suggest a four per cent rise in the number of students getting a C or above in English and maths.
No Caption ABCDE ANL-160825-120454001
Self-reported statistics from Suffolk schools show 63 per cent have achieved the C or above threshold in English and maths this year compared with 59 per cent of these schools achieving this in 2015.
The final validated figure for 2015 was 57 per cent.
Some schools have made significant gains on last year, including Alde Valley Academy in Leiston, which saw a 28 per cent increase to 66 per cent of pupils achieving the threshold for English and maths
Thomas Gainsborough School saw a 17 per cent increase to 73 per cent of pupils achieving the threshold for English and maths.
St Benedict’s Catholic School in Bury St Edmunds saw a 10 per cent increase to 74 per cent in pupils achieving the threshold for English and maths.
The results also saw a significant improvement for disadvantaged pupils – these are children looked after and pupils eligible for free school meals.
The early results reported to Suffolk County Council show 42 per cent of disadvantaged students have achieved a C in English and maths this year.
In 2015 in Suffolk, 33.8 per cent of students achieved a C grade in English and maths and in 2014 it was 29.9 per cent.
Schools with larger numbers of disadvantaged students making significant improvement in the attainment of these pupils again include Thomas Gainsborough School where 54 per cent of disadvantaged pupils achieving the threshold in English and maths.
Claydon High School also saw 54 per cent of disadvantaged pupils achieving the threshold in English and maths, while Farlingaye High School in Woodbridge had 52 per cent of disadvantaged pupils achieving the threshold in English and maths.
Councillor Gordon Jones, Suffolk County Council’s cabinet member for education and skills, said: “These improved results are a testament to the hard work and commitment shown by students and the dedication, support and encouragement of teachers and parents. They mean that our students are in a strong position to go on to higher education.
Suffolk County Council is committed to establishing and maintaining an education system that allows every pupil or student to reach their full potential.
“We will continue to work with, and challenge, schools to drive up educational attainment. Ofsted has recognised that our Raising the Bar vision and strategy is moving us in the right direction, and we are implementing our action plan to increase the speed of improvement”.
Since the launch of Raising the Bar in 2012, GCSE results have significantly improved and 82 per cent of Suffolk schools are now being judged Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.
Over the last year this percentage nationally has increased by 3 per cent while Suffolk’s has increased by 6 per cent. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/latest-news/gcses-boost-for-schools-in-suffolk-1-7544628 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/f09efdf82a1caf7a92c92fb7684bd3085789e2d5fb57011f03fe1ddcdd7fe448.json |

The free two-day festival has been a regular fixture in the town’s summer calendar for the last four years and takes place over the August Bank Holiday Sunday and Monday.
Bury St Edmunds Food and Drink Festival Pictured: Cookery Demonstration by Michelin starred chef Galton Blackiston ANL-150831-183259009
As well as the traditional elements including celebrity chefs, cookery demonstrations a farmers’ market and a host of food and drink stalls, Langton Place will be hosting a taste of Rio to bring a splash of carnival colour to the weekend.
The attraction will include Brazilian music and dancing, and a number of workshops for the young and young-at- heart, including mask-making, dancing and steel drums.
Chief Executive of Ourburystedmunds, which organises the Festival, Mark Cordell said: “Many of us have been enjoying the atmosphere of Rio while watching the Olympic Games on TV and we wanted to recreate that at this year’s Food & Drink Festival.
“There’ll be a chance to try some of the foods of the region and perhaps sip a cocktail while enjoying the free entertainment.”
And while it may not quite be Copacabana, the Ourburystedmunds urban beach will be welcoming sun-seekers to relax with an ice-cream or stick of rock in the arc shopping centre.
He added: “As the festival takes place only a week after the closing ceremony in Rio, we hope to serve up a gold medal event of our own this year.
“All the favourite ingredients from previous years are on the menu and we are delighted to welcome back to Bury St Edmunds Michelin-starred chef Galton Blackiston who will give three demonstrations on Sunday.
“Our celebrity guest on Monday is ITV’s James Tanner who is promising an equally delicious display.”
The Ourburystedmunds Food & Drink Festival will run from Sunday, August 28 to Monday 29th and, as well as the shows in the theatre kitchen, it will feature a wide range of local produce stalls, attractions and children’s entertainment.

Starring alongside her will be Clive Francis as Frank Doel, reprising the role he played to critical acclaim in 2015.
Adapted from Helene Hanff’s best-selling book, 84 Charing Cross Road has been delighting audiences since its premiere in 1981.
A tender and heart-warming tale of transatlantic friendship, this bittersweet comedy is based on the extraordinary true story of the remarkable relationship that developed over 20 years between a vivacious New York writer and a London bookseller.
Through their exchange of humorous and often intimate correspondence a snapshot of Britain from the post-war 1940’s to the swinging 60’s is revealed, alongside a touching human story that still resonates today.
Stefanie Powers plays Helene Hanff. A star of stage and screen, with a career spanning over 50 years, Powers is best known for her role opposite Robert Wagner in Hart to Hart, which ran over five series and eight TV movies between 1979 and 1996.
Her extensive film and TV credits include McLintock!, The Magnificent Seven Ride Again, The Rockford Files, The Bionic Woman, The Six Million Dollar Man and The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. Clive Francis plays Frank Doel.
Francis’ recent credits include Les Blancs (National Theatre), Enron, The Madness of King George III (West End), The Queen and Mr Turner; he will shortly be appearing in the major new Netflix drama, The Crown, written by Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Audience).
84 Charing Cross Road premiered at Salisbury Playhouse in 1981 before transferring to the West End and Broadway.
This new production, premiering at Salisbury Playhouse in 2015, is produced by Cambridge Arts Theatre and Lee Dean.
The play was also adapted into a film in 1987, starring Anthony Hopkins, Judi Dench and Anne Bancroft as Helene, who won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/what-s-on/new-production-at-cambridge-arts-theatre-is-a-tender-tale-of-transatlantic-friendship-1-7521805 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/d6e4fccaec3fe1363771cce241ccc598d445110b34245fa0a1f6fbbc50d60d1b.json |

n Little league football can be every bit as exciting as the big boys’ game. I wish I’d been there last Wednesday when the Jockeys’ Jake Wayne waited until the 90th minute to secure a 1-0 win over Godmanchester Rovers. This sort of stuff can’t be relied on every week or every game, but it’s why I repeat that I truly wish I’d been there. Watching sport is like live music. There is no substitute for being there when it happens.
n Have the three Lithuanian burglars jailed for raiding homes across the region from Mildenhall to the coast the least idea of the harm they have done not only to those they stole from but to their honest, hardworking countrymen seeking a new future among us? Answer: they have and they don’t care. We breed them like that here, too.
n I admit I am no fan of floral hanging baskets. I have been quite rude about them over the years but that does not mean I want an enterprise like Newmarket in Bloom to fade away under a cloud of doubt and dither. Why is it that local civic efforts so often get bogged down in squabbles and doubts about where the money went? If the pattern continues, anything the town council touches will give other towns a reason to laugh up their sleeves. “Oh, Newmarket. Well what do you expect?”
n Oxford has Morse and Endeavour, Cambridge has the Grantchester detective vicar and his mate. Ely Cathedral has been the setting for more films than you’ve had hot dinners. So when will it be Newmarket’s turn to get in on this lucrative racket? Dick Francis alone provided enough material for several racing series and we have spectacular settings at least as attractive as our neighbours. Some towns have a council official paid to lure in this kind of fame and fortune. Is anyone anywhere (apart from me) speaking up for Newmarket as a screen star?
n Brilliant A-level grades for our young people at Mildenhall and Newmarket are good news not only for them, their families and their teachers. It is good news for all of us.
An educated workforce is vital to our future in everything from IT to agriculture. Especially if our industry is to diversify and become less strongly dependent on racing.
We’ve proved we have brainy young people, now we have to find them homes to live in so they stay with us and we can share their success.
n After the mind-boggling achievements of our Olympians, it may be hard to admire what’s been happening at home. So spare a thought for those tough souls who signed up for the Stour Valley Ultra Marathon – 62 miles of wildly various terrain between Newmarket and Manningtree. The sheer stamina of runners who can keep going for well over half a day is astonishing. Of course, if I’d tried it would have taken much longer. Not only because I am a plump sofa potato but because it is such a pretty route I would keep stopping to admire the view.
n That was a nice touch by Frankie Dettori who explained how he avoided racing for most of one week because he knew his 3,000th British win was due and he wanted it to happen here at his first opportunity.

A £10 million futuristic ‘gallop in the sky’ is being planned by Jockey Club Estates to boost racehorse training facilities in Newmarket’s Hamilton Road.
The Hill Gallop will be constructed to mimic Headquarter’s iconic Warren Hill giving trainers on the opposite side of town a training asset vital to the conditioning of racehorses right on their doorstep.
Nick Patton, William Gittus and Jonathan Ascroft ANL-160824-114134001
The ambitious plan, which will be submitted to the local planning authority next month, revolves around the building of an all-weather gallop which will start five metres below ground level before rising 30 metres on an flyover-like construction covering four and a half furlongs. It will be wide enough for two horses to work upsides and there will be a separate track running alongside for use by emergency vehicles.
The project has been five years in the planning and has the full backing of Newmarket trainers including Sir Mark Prescott who has been training in the town for 47 years and is chairman of the heath committee.
William Gittus, managing director of Jockey Club Estates said the location of the state-of-the-art gallop would be the key to its success as it was hoped access to such a facility would attract more trainers and horses to the Hamilton Road yards.
Occupancy rates in the training yards on the Bury side of town is currently around 90 per cent compared with less than 60 per cent on Racecourse Side and trainers have cited the proximity of the uphill canters on Warren Hill, which are used by over 2,000 horses a day, as the key factor in this discrepancy.
sky gallop, Newmarket ANL-160824-103142001
“To enable further growth, and the economic benefits and employment that will bring to the district, we need to encourage more trainers to base themselves on Racecourse Side where there is scope for expansion,” said Mr Gittus.
Two years ago he and project team leader and assistant managing director of Jockey Club Estates Nick Patton, travelled to Japan to view its gallops built on man-made inclines. “That was definitely a turning point,” said Mr Patton. “It really opened my eyes to what could be done with a little innovation.” said Mr Patton.
“It’s wonderful to have reached a point at which we are now ready to submit the planning application. A lot of people have contributed to the development of the project and a design committee which includes trainers and vets, has played an integral role in the process.
“This is about Jockey Club Estates planning ten, 15, 20 years ahead and Newmarket maintaining its status as a world-class centre of excellence for the training of thoroughbred racehorses. Newmarket’s development as the HQ of racing is built on its history and heritage and the centuries-old turf of the Heath, but its future health could be shaped by 21st century technology and this gallop in the sky.” | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/latest-news/video-jockey-club-unveils-plans-for-10m-newmarket-gallop-in-the-sky-1-7542894 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/dccbc8d17a8738bf1faffebcb518253968036297d5a891ca24707daf300987ad.json |

When he takes to the road on September 25, it will be only five months after one of his legs was amputated above the knee.
Paul, from St John’s Close, Mildenhall, came up with the idea of a charity bike ride while recovering from surgery at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.
“I had a bike, but I haven’t done anything major for years,” he said. “But I started training in May. A week after my surgery I used the video gym at Addenbrooke’s.
“I thought, if I was going to get back on a bike, I’d do it to raise money.”
He chose the not-for-profit Suffolk Stars cheerleading and gym group, which meets at Mildenhall’s Dome leisure centre, and to which his daughter Ella belongs.
“My wife works, so she couldn’t take Ella but the other mums and dads made sure she was collected while I was in hospital,” he said. “The support I’ve had from family, friends and the mums and dads from the cheerleading group has been outstanding.”
So once he had his artificial leg, he set to training to show his gratitude with the target of raising £5,000 for new equipment for the Stars.
“I was doing a lot better than I thought I would be after the operation, so the consultant last week discharged me,” Paul said.
But that was not before the consultant and his wife backed the ride to the tune of £200. His planned route is to cycle from Mildenhall to Mundford, Downham Market, Ely and back to Mildenhall.

Thirty-year-old Tom Clover is set to join the training ranks at Headquarters this autumn backed up by his partner, Jackie Jarvis, the 26-year-old daughter of the late Classic-winning Newmarket trainer Michael Jarvis.
Their Tom Clover Racing base will be the 25-box historic Wroughton House yard, which in the past has been home not only to a Derby winner, but also two Grand National winners.
It is situated conveniently at the foot of Warren Hill with easy access straight on to the town’s most iconic training gallop.
Clover has spent the last six seasons as assistant to David Simcock, where he has been associated with the likes of Group 1 winners Dream Ahead, I’m A Dreamer and Madame Chiang.
Prior to his time at Trillium Place, Clover filled the same role for National Hunt trainer Charlie Longsdon.
Jarvis intends to play a key role in the new venture and brings additional expertise and experience.
She played a hands-on part in the family business, riding out for her father and helping in the stable office with race planning.
These are roles she has continued for Roger Varian, who took over the licence at Fordham Road’s Kremlin House Stables after her father’s death in 2011.
Jarvis also has significant knowledge of the business side of the sport, particularly its promotion having been responsible for website development and many PR initiatives at Kremlin House — factors that can be key to the success of fledgling yards.
“Training racehorses is something I have dreamt about for a long time and I am looking forward to branching out on my own along with Jackie,” said Clover.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with David and Jennie Simcock, who are great role models.
“They work exceptionally hard and their results speak for themselves.
“I feel lucky to have been part of their team, working with lovely horses and good staff. I have learnt a lot from them.
“Both Jackie and I are fully aware of the challenges ahead but we are excited about the prospect and can’t wait to get going.”
The couple will be leaving their current roles in September in readiness for all the major yearling and horses in training sales this autumn and winter which they will be attending, recruiting the raw material they hope will get their new venture off to a flying start. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/clover-and-partner-to-join-horse-racing-training-ranks-1-7533223 | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/070cc50f9ebf4faa5c310fa6219500f027aded97032aa552c6de382e045a4823.json |

The general consensus seemed to be that it was a good thing to be facing them so early on in the campaign, before they had chance to readjust to life back in the Championship.
But with just three games gone and seven points on the board those Canaries already seem to have a head of steam up, while our start has been a mixed bag.
For all the doom-and-gloom surrounding Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Brentford though there were still a number of first-half chances that were fashioned that, on another day, could have seen a very different outcome.
A point at Molineux would normally be regarded as a good result but on Tuesday we could and should have taken advantage of a lacklustre Wolves side that seemed devoid of ideas.
While we seemed unlucky to not have Daryl Murphy’s header awarded as a goal, we were still left indebted to Bartosz Bialkowski again though, for a fine penalty save, to save Adam Webster’s blushes.
But the performance can certainly give us some confidence heading into Sunday.
Despite the giant gulf in the costs of the squads, I’m expecting another cagey derby affair where a set-piece or a swift counter-attack could prove decisive.
Shackling Wes Hoolahan will be pivotal to our chances, while with David McGoldrick sadly out injured again, we will need a big performance from young Teddy Bishop.
I’d also like to see Tommy Smith brought back into the defence, taking Webster out of the firing line.
It was terrible news to hear about former Town striker Dalian Atkinson’s tragic death this week. He was before my time but what a fitting tribute it would be to do it for Dalian on Sunday. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/football/ipswich-town-fan-russell-claydon-is-hoping-the-blues-can-do-it-for-atkinson-in-the-derby-1-7536847 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/ded9f00af2801dd249542833a6f4d58184dc93bca84cde9fe416c644cc5725ba.json |

The Green/Environmental Award in this year’s Bury Free Press Business awards is again sponsored by Easton and Otley College, which is famed for its agricultural and land-based courses.
Green/Environmental Award presented by Chris Nix, director of estates at Easton and Otley College, to Precision Marketing ANL-151010-020259009
It’s promotions manager John Nice said: “Environmental issues are very important to us as a college – both in principle and practice.
“Last year, the entries for this category were very varied and diverse and it was brilliant to travel across West Suffolk and see the passion that people have for this subject.
“We are hoping for the same high standard of entries and commitment to green issues again in 2016.
“As a person who was born in Bury St Edmunds, it’s always great to attend these awards and find out about all the great things that are happening in the town
“The stories that you hear about – of businesses both small and large – are always inspirational. Representing a college whose student population is around 15 per cent people from Bury and the surrounding villages, it’s a pleasure to be involved in this celebratory occasion that helps fly the flag for Bury.”
Easton and Otley Colleges merged in 2012 creating the fifth biggest landbased college in the country in terms of the number of students, staff and courses. The college has about 700 staff and 5,000 students and was rated ‘good’ by Ofsted.
More than £40 million has been invested in new facilities across both campuses in the last 12 years, including greenhouses, agricultural barns and an animal centre.
Last year the Green/Environmental Award went to the Precision Marketing Group.
West Suffolk College, in Bury, is a long term sponsor of out coveted Employee of the Year award, which last year went to James Sawyer of Whatley Lane Estate Agents.
Before last year’s awards, college principal Nikos Savvas said: “We are proud to be supporting this award.
“We are the bridge between education and the workplace and the students that come through our doors leave us ready to create success for their future employers and support this region’s continued economic prosperity.”
West Suffolk College’s main campus is in Out Risbygate with its Construction and Building Services at The Milburn Centre, Anglian Lane, in Bury. In addition, the collegehas Local Learning Centres in Haverhill, Ipswich, Mildenhall, Thetford, Stowmarket and Sudbury.
The college has more than 10,000 students studying for all levels of qualification and programme including 650 higher education learners linked to its membership of the University of Suffolk.
Ofsted recently graded the provision ‘good’ with areas that were ‘outstanding’.
In addition to full-time, part-time and adult education, the college has a large contract for apprenticeships and professional training for businesses, working with more than 1,500 employers.
West Suffolk College was one of the first colleges in the country to start delivering the New Apprenticeship Standards. A recent Ofsted survey showed that 100 per cent of employers asked would recommend West Suffolk College to other employers.
It has just won investment from the LEP to open a new Engineering and Innovation centre in Bury which will lead the way for development, research and training in science, technology, engineering and maths.

The district council announced on Friday it has bought Greenheath Energy Ltd and with it the 12.4 megawatt solar farm at Toggam Farm, near Lakenheath, for almost £14.5 million.
Forest Heath's solar farm in figures ANL-160822-144455001
It was bought using capital cash because under local government finance rules, councils are not allowed to use capital to plug annual funding gaps, as the money would eventually ‘disappear’, but they can invest it in projects which generate an annual income.
Chief Financial officer Rachael Mann explained that once an annual provision for the capital outlay has been recouped, the farm will raise £300,000 in the first year. The council says that will rise to £700,000 by year 10, partly through selling on electricity to the National Grid.
Cllr Stephen Edwards, Forest Heath’s cabinet member for resources and performance said: “This is not the first, but it is the biggest publicly owned solar farm in the UK and it will produce enough electricity to power 3,000 homes, plus cut the carbon footprint by the equivalent of 2,000 cars.
“The way councils are financed is changing – our main Government grant will be scrapped by around 2020 and Council Tax doesn’t cover as much as people think. This means we have to look at new ways of investing to make money to pay for services.
“In the future, the solar farm could provide energy to West Suffolk councils’ offices and our leisure centres, helping us and our partners to save money on energy costs on top of the income it will bring in, while further down the line there may also be opportunities to benefit our communities as well.
“We plan to lobby the Government to relax charges over the generation and supply of energy to local markets. If successful that could allow us to offer our own branded tariffs to local businesses, providing them for the first time with stable energy supply costs, which in turn would help support local economic growth.
“We would also like to be able to offer something similar to the vulnerable members of our community and will continue to explore how we can overcome the barriers in the market.”
The 17.5 hectare solar farm has 47,748 panels, each measuring 1.6m by 1m and weighing 20kg.
Thomas Clayton, developer and director of Greenheath Ltd said: “The solar farm is up and running, producing renewable energy and will now be generating income to assist the council in continuing to provide excellent services.”
A year ago, the council proposed developing the solar farm with Greenheath Farming but dropped the plan because checks revealed site issues that it feared could not be resolved in time to meet the March 31 completion deadline to gain ‘crucial Government funding’, so it could not take the risk. Greenheath decided to go ahead alone. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/latest-news/forest-heath-invests-in-the-uk-s-biggest-publicly-owned-solar-farm-1-7539427 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/3c1316b62be08a0471dca172fd37058ac7078fc254bffa99ef57cae81528bafa.json |

The culture of posting expensive new purchases, giving out your address and even when you are out of the country and for how long can create an enticing picture for would be burglars. Here are 10 steps you can take to protect yourself and your home during the summer period.
1) Consider taking a vacation from social media while you are on holiday or away for the day. Avoid announcements that you are going to be in another country for the next few weeks and do not check-in on social media at the airport.
2) Share vacation photos after the holiday. The photo could make clear that you are not at home even if you haven’t said where you are.
3) Consider sharing information with friends and not the entire public. At least in the weeks leading to a trip and during it.
4) Do not make details such as address, place of work or previous school public.
5) Put lights on timers during the evenings to give the impression there is someone there. Additionally outside sensors in the garden may deter potential intruders or burglars. In the absence of light, a timer on a TV or Radio could be an effective alternative.
6) Have a relative or a friend collect your mail so there is no build up of evidence to suggest you aren’t home. Don’t leave notes for delivery people suggesting you aren’t in.
7) Consider securing a visible security alarm. When asked burglars suggest the presence of a security system is the biggest deterrent to a potential burglar.
8) Keep any doors or windows, particularly on the ground floor, shut when you are not there. Remember insurance companies will often not pay out if a burglary occurs as a result of an insecure door or window.
9) Don’t forget to secure your garage or shed and if you have any power tools or gardening tools register them for free at http://www.immobilise.com/.
10) If you are going to be away for a period longer than a week it is worth informing the police of the duration of your trip. It may encourage them to actively drive by your home while they are on patrols.

PRELIMINARY ROUND
Soham Town Rangers 4
Harrowby United 1
Robbie Mason made an instant impact on his first start of the season for Soham Town Rangers after helping them to a convincing win over Harrowby United in the Emirates FA Cup on Saturday.
Although the former Ely City striker, who missed the Greens opening two Ryman League Division One North fixtures, saw his first half opener cancelled out by Ryan Parnell, further strikes from Kieran Bailey, Billy Harris and Jordan Gent ensured that the Julius Martin Lane outfit will visit Rushall Olympic in the first qualifying round on Saturday, September 3.
“I was really disappointed with the goal we conceded,” said Rangers joint boss Robbie Nightingale. “We had complete dominance in the first half and probably should have gone in more than a goal up.
“We created a lot of chances and one thing that was missing from the previous two games is that we did not take our chances, but we could have had more today to be fair.
“We did take our foot off the brake and thought it was job done, but after a spell of 10 minutes where we needed to settle again the boys worked hard and got three more goals.
“Once we got back on the ball and started moving it quickly we looked a good team again and played some good football.”
Despite Parnell grabbing his team’s only goal of the game his tally could have been more significant had he hit the target instead of firing over the bar having been sent clean through by Calum Wilkinson inside the opening minute.
After surviving an early scare the Greens soon had their noses in front from their first meaningful effort with Mason firing home from close range when meeting Lewis McDonald’s deep throw into the box in the 13th minute.
The visitors enjoyed several openings to get back on level terms with Sean Wolley seeing his effort saved by Clarke Bogard just a minute after falling behind, while eight minutes later Wilkinson rattled the bar from the edge of the area.
With both Bailey and Darren Foxley squandering chances to double the Greens’ lead at the end of the first half they were made to pay 11 minutes into the second period when Parnell nodded home Wilkinson’s saved effort.
Good link-up play between Bailey and Foxley left Marcus Hall with the simple task of converting into an empty net to restore Soham’s lead, instead though he blazed his effort high over the bar.
The former Great Shelford player saw his blushes spared though in the 70th minute by Bailey who, after weaving his way into the box sent a shot past Craig Rhodes.
A one-goal cushion quickly became two as Harris put Rangers firmly in the driving seat when curling home a sumptuous strike from the edge of the box two minutes later.
With the game in safe keeping Greens captain Gent added a fourth for good measure when heading home Bailey’s corner at the far post four minutes from time despite protests from the visitors claiming the ball was handled in the build up.
Rangers will return to Division One North action on Saturday when they take on Maldon and Tiptree at Park Drive (3pm).
The Greens will then host Ryman League new boys Norwich United on Bank Holiday Monday (3pm).
Soham Town Rangers: Bogard, Harris, McDonald, Horne (Swinton 70), Gent, Groves, Hall, Paterson, Mason (Relizani 82), Bailey, Foxley. Subs not used: White, Gardner, Chambers-Shaw. Attendance: 123.

They have always prided themselves on giving younger players a chance and this season it has paid dividends with big contributions from both Stuart Lilley and George Tillbrook, and also from Dale Watling who has returned to the club this year.
The most unlikely winners were Worlington, who won at high-flying Witham by 28 runs. Batting first they struggled to 106, thanks to Jimmy Watson’s 59 before their bowlers went to town, cleaning up their opponents for just 78, with Sean Cooper leading the way with 4-19, ably backed up by Kiwi Ben Hyde 4-25. This Saturday they entertain struggling Hadleigh.
Hadleigh will consider themselves unlucky to lose to Coggeshall by just one wicket, Hadleigh 167, Kyle Tanner 60, Coggeshall 168-9, Mark Simmonds 3-15.
Halstead achieved a much needed victory over Mistley by 42 runs, Halstead 242-9, Mark Johnson 55, Mistley 200, Sam Walter 3-28. Next up is a visit to fellow strugglers Braintree.
Haverhill, without skipper Adam Dellar were well beaten by Braintree by 70 runs. Braintree 246, Anthony Phillips 3-20, Haverhill 176-7, Dan Pass 31. A trip to Coggeshall is the next date in the diary.
Mildenhall look to be marching onwards towards the EAPL play-offs with yet another victory, this time over bottom club Copford by 91 runs. Overseas Aussie star Steve Taylor scored an impressive 128 in a total of 299-9, Copford made 208-9 with Ashley Clark taking 3-27. Taylor has now passed the 1,000 run mark in the Two Counties this season at an average of just over 75. Frinton IIs are the visitors to Wamil Way this weekend.
Lakenheath had a much needed victory last Saturday, beating Ipswich by 105 runs. Lakenheath 256-6, Shane Leech 105, Dominic Palmer 84, Ipswich 151, Danny Rodic 3-39. This Saturday they entertain Easton.
Long Melford lost to Easton by five wickets, Long Melford 205-7, Dale Brett 79, Ipswich 209-5, veteran Lawrence Hall 4-58. It’s a home game this Saturday against Dunmow.
Bottom club Exning predictably lost to unbeaten Maldon by five wickets. Exning 121 Ollie Lawson 58, Maldon 124-5 Peter Woods 2-33. This week sees them play host to Mildenhall IIs.
One of the perks of being an umpire in the Two Counties league, apart from the obvious cricket teas, is the opportunity to visit some absolutely delightful grounds. From the perfectly-manicured, such as Mildenhall and Frinton, to the picturesque delights of Exning, Worlington and Halstead, they all have many appealing factors.
I am a firm believer that if you are on a league panel, you go to wherever you are appointed, you shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose, or how far you travel. I always enjoy going to a different club each week, meeting players old and new. I hope I can still be seeing these grounds and players for a good few years to come. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/cricket/caught-in-the-middle-with-ron-raisey-picturesque-grounds-are-a-pleasure-to-visit-1-7533179 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/4a9cd5b501ece7230d2f20be1231dca9844c9f9f9e634779c3a8f7d9451cd227.json |

Bounty Baby Club, a popular parenting advice site, has scaled its 100,000 visitors a month, to uncover the most popular baby names of the first half of 2016 and there are a few surprises.
A few favourites of recent years are still holding their popularity but the results reveal some new up and coming themes and trends.
The favourites
Holding onto their 2015 top spots, Alfie and Isla remain the most popular names for boys and girls. Out of the top 100 most popular names, the biggest winners have been Caleb, jumping up nine positions to 19, Jenson, rising up five places to 26 and Ellie, rising up nine positions to nine.
The biggest climber so far this year has been Arlo, previously was outside of the top 50, now cementing a top 10 position at number six. Other names you may start to hear more include Freddie, Aaron, Phoebe, Ellis and Millie.
So what names are falling out of favour this year?
Results show that for girls, Sienna, Mia, Sophia, Mila and Scarlett are on the decline in 2016. Yesterday’s news for boys’ names include Dylan, Sebastian, Daniel and Harrison which are proving less popular than they have in recent years.
There is a new trend of baby names emerging from Bounty’s findings, vowel heavy names, particularly for girls. Male names ending in a softer letter are also becoming more popular, for example names such as Alfie, Arlo, Archie and Harry.
Take a look at the top 10 for boys and girls for the first half of the year below:

Worlington 314-4 lost to
Hadleigh 315-5
by five wickets
Worlington were defeated by a five-wicket margin in a high-scoring affair when they took on relegation-threatened Hadleigh at the weekend.
Batting first, Worlington amassed 314-4 from their 50 overs with centuries from Jimmy Watson (113) and Chris Baugh (108), who shared a third wicket stand of 176 runs.
After tea, Worlington’s opening bowling pair of Sean Cooper (1-16) and Steve Flack (1-38) then kept Hadleigh in check early on, reducing them to 54-2 with a wicket apiece.
Craig Woollard soon followed up, collecting his first wicket of the afternoon when he removed Mark Simmonds for 32.
However, Marlon Dias and Tom Piddington posted a fourth wicket stand of 168 to wrestle back control for the visitors.
Dias eventually fell for 69, and although Woollard (2-56) picked up a second wicket towards the close, Piddington was in fine form, finishing unbeaten on a match-winning score of 153.
Worlington, however, hold onto fourth spot in Marshall Hatchick Two Counties Championship Division One, ahead of a trip to Haverhill this Saturday (1pm).
n In Division Five, Worlington II made the journey to face their Witham counterparts and the title-chasing Essex side were victorious by a nine-wicket margin.
Half-centuries from 16-year-old Matt Wittish (62) and Terry Small (52) helped Worlington post a score of 191-8 from their innings.
Witham passed the total inside 41 overs and for the loss of just one wicket, finishing on 192-1 to claim the win.
n Worlington Academy enjoyed a five-wicket win at home to Battisford and District in Hunts County Bats Suffolk League Division Four on Sunday.
Wittish, Shaun Lister and Jake Goodall all took two wickets each to restrict Battisford to 147-9, before Dan Abbs (49) and Wittish (46) steered Worlington to 149-5 to secure a 10th win in a row. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/cricket/worlington-lose-out-at-home-to-hadleigh-in-high-scoring-clash-1-7544069 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/29503b4b5f8c3a7feede161833ae531491d9d7ff5cd584fbb5dfa4a2d04b4ca9.json |

Born just months into the Battle of Verdun in April 1916, the Doddington boy would grow up to serve his country as a soldier and as an officer in his local police force.
Verdun Buck being presented with his original medal
He won medals for gallantry while serving in the Grenadier Guards during the Second World War and later the police long service medal for his unblemished career as a beat bobby in areas including Sutton, Ely, Leverington and Wisbech.
But when he died in 1994 at the age of 76, his son Paul, now 69, knew there was something missing from his father’s legacy.
Most of his war medals and his police service medal had been stolen after Verdun had generously loaned them out for use in a school play.
Towards the end of his life, and in keeping with his unassuming character, Verdun had showed no interest in getting replacements.
But Paul and his wife Christine, 66, of The Rampart, Haddenham, had different ideas and set about reassembling his legacy.
This week, after years of effort, their task was finally completed when the couple were presented with a police long service medal by Assistant Chief Constable Nav Malik at police HQ in Huntingdon.
Paul, who joined the Navy himself at 15, said: “When dad died I thought we’ve got to try to get the medals back. Not for me but for the next generation, to show what his life was about, as a soldier and as a policeman.
“It’s been brilliant to get the police medal and I would like to thank Donna Stundon from the force who’s been trying to get the medal for more than a year.
“It’s the last piece, but a very important piece, of the jigsaw and it’s taken several years. But then it should take a long time because not everyone gets the long service medal.”
Presenting the medal, Mr Malik said: “It’s a real honour and privilege to be able to give you this. My dad joined as the first Asian officer in the country in the 60s and I’m sure we are both very proud of our fathers.
“The Home Secretary would have had to approve the medal originally, and as well as length, your service had to be ethical and beyond reproach.”
Paul, who is chairman of Haddenham Cricket Club, had wanted to retrieve his father’s honours since they were stolen but only started in earnest in recent years following his retirement after more than a decade as a postman.
Lance Sergeant Verdun received the Military Medal for his gallantry while serving at Mount Camino in Italy in 1943. His recommendation for the honour said his “coolness, leadership and complete disregard of enemy fire were an inspiration to his platoon and to all who beheld it.”
The Military Medal was the only decoration that hadn’t been stolen but Paul was determined to reunite it with the others.
The force was contacted on Paul’s behalf by the National Association of Retired Police Officers (NARPO) in November 2014 asking if a replacement medal could be obtained for Verdun, who served in the Isle of Ely Constabulary.
The medal had been presented to him by Chief Constable Thomas C Williams. It is not known exactly what year but Mr Williams was head of the force between 1957 and 1964.
Police staff member Donna Stundon, who handles awards for the constabulary, contacted the Home Office, who required confirmation that Verdun had received the medal. This was provided and a replacement was sent.
It was a fitting end to Paul’s research into his father’s past and his quest to restore his legacy.
Paul, who is a father-of-two and a grandfather of four (including a grandson with a middle name of Verdun) said: “It’s been about collecting together dad’s life achievements for posterity and for his relatives. That has now been completed.
“People had a lot of respect for dad. He was a village police officer for a long time and then an enquiry office clerk at Chatteris and Ely police stations. He was unflappable, I never saw him get angry and there was no malice in him at all: the perfect policeman.
“I never met anyone who has a bad word to say about him. I remember at his funeral, his brother, who looked very similar to him, was in bits. He said ‘he was a good one your dad’.”
Paul believes his father did compulsory military service in the 1930s before becoming a police constable in Sutton.
He was on the War Reserve and was called up again on the outbreak of war in 1939. In April 1942, during a period of leave, he married Paul’s mother Katherine Mead.
After the war, Verdun re-joined the police force but had to serve a one-year probation due to his war injury: he had been shot through the shoulder during the fighting which won him the Military Medal.
The Isle of Ely force merged with neighbouring forces to form the Mid-Anglia Constabulary in 1965. This was renamed Cambridgeshire Constabulary when the county of Cambridgeshire was created by the Local Government Act 1972. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/news/crime/war-hero-s-family-presented-with-new-medal-after-callous-thieves-steal-the-original-1-7534511 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/b09957e8fb67c0155c9f97291638432f42d161635c9be5b85e31db667b6ed067.json |

ACC Sarah Hamlin took to twitter this morning, Tuesday August 30, to say that after 30 years on the force she is retiring after becoming “resigned to the fact that my values no longer fit the org. I can’t make a difference, support frontline.”
She added: “And so I wish colleagues & friends all the best. Let’s hope #policing can recover & that officers & staff welfare is prioritised.”
She said she is now looking forward to spending time with family and friends. Playing golf and kayaking.
Police forces across the country have faced repeated budget cuts in recent years with many senior officers voicing concerns that the ‘Thin Blue Line’ has become too thin.

The classic SNK title is out August 26th and is the first main-series game rendered entirely in 3D using 2D backgrounds - like Street Fighter.
KoF XIV should have a good pedigree considering it is being directed by Yasuyuki Oda who has previously worked on Capcom’s Street Fighter IV as well as other titles by SNK.
Developers have introduced the “Rush” system in order to revitalise the series and attract newcomers.
The Hyper Drive system from the last game is no longer present and has been replaced with a new version of “Max Mode” from earlier games in the series.
In Max mode, the player can perform unlimited EX special moves for a short period of time, and the timer changes depending on what position their character is in.
The roster of fighters is the standout stat ahead of launch, though, with 50 ... yes FIFTY ... characters to choose from.
Each will have three types of Supers: the returning “Super Special Moves” and “Neomax Super Special Moves” (the latter of which are only usable in Max mode), and a new type called “Climax Super Special Moves”.
Climax Super Special Moves are the strongest types in the game and will require a total of three power gauges (two with Max mode on). The game also features the “Just Defend” mechanic from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. The HD thrust system now makes the opponent hit the wall and crumple for follow up attacks.
For beginners, there will be the automatic and simple “Rush Combo” while the online lobby has three modes: team VS, single VS, and party VS with up to 12 people able to enter and also spectate.
The roster of fighters is the standout stat ahead of launch, though, with 50 ... yes FIFTY ... characters to choose from. Damien Lucas, gaming columnist
Whether Kof XIV can compete with the likes of the next gen Street Fighter or if it holds enough appeal to UK gamers remains to be seen.
But gameplay footage suggests it is slick, action-packed and should have lots of longevity particularly for those who like to master all fighters. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/what-s-on/lifestyle-leisure/console-corner-the-king-of-fighters-lives-on-1-7520337 | en | 2016-08-13T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/9d3ae8bbf0dc37d348e3ff16a3a1113690c1326ac4eed7815849e8516d6bddef.json |

No Man’s Sky in undeniably a work of art, but have you got time to look around the whole gallery?
No Man’s Sky launched last week after much hype and billed as quite literally the biggest video game ever made.
The self-perpetuating game, which promises to be potentially endless, was four years in the making by a tiny team in game production terms. And you can tell as it will instantly take your breath away.
Make no mistake there has never been anything like this before. As you fly ever deeper into the universe, new planets and solar systems roll silently into view – some will have been seen before, others discovered for the very first time. And you have 18 quintillion of them to choose from...
Each has its own set of flora, fauna and inhabitants. By exploring, players gain information about the planets that they can submit to The Atlas, a universal database that can be shared with other players of the game and for which they are rewarded in currency each time.
Each planet is a work of art you could spend hours studying, analysing and dissecting. These works of art are housed in an endless gallery and for art connoisseurs it will be Manna from heaven.
However, most people’s playing time will be finite.... unless you’re at university and can afford to miss the odd class here and there to squeeze in just one more exploration of a peculiar alien planet.
And that is where one of the game’s key sticking points comes in. As much as No Man’s Sky takes us to Infinity and leaves us wondering what waits beyond, there is also an almost irresistible itch which you can’t scratch because you can never truly “complete” this game in the traditional sense.
But that is very much a personal take on NMS, many people might enjoy jumping on for a couple of hours here and there, discovering lots of different things and logging it to the Atlas, if anything it could be cathartic but many people like a beginning, a middle and an end to their games.
No Mans Sky is undeniably a work of art
The care, thought, time and brilliance that has gone into this utterly original video game is mindblowing and deserves to be experienced by PlayStation gamers.
It is the purest form of video game escapism we have ever seen and should be celebrated as such.
But it will more likely go down as a cult classic than the blockbuster success it’s craft deserves. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/what-s-on/lifestyle-leisure/console-corner-no-man-s-sky-review-1-7528920 | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/f484643822f99180cf645a873e3044ca9492fb52b527f0098c4239ad43031a4e.json |

The winger, who made 75 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight goals from signing in July 2012 to leaving for Needham Market in February 2014, resigned for the club from Thurrock in time to make his second debut in Saturday’s 2-0 home win over Enfield.
It takes AFC’s new signings up to six, with Sam Bantick (Concord Rangers), Rob Eagle (Lowestoft Town), Adam Tann (St Neots Town), Aaron Greene (unattached) and Callum Robinson (unattached) having already joined this summer.
Cowley, who was with Harlow Town during the 2014/15 campaign ahead of signing for Thurrock, said: “It’s good to be back at AFC, I had a great time when I was last here and didn’t really want to go then. I hope I can help the club achieve what they are trying to do”.
Manager Jamie Godbold said: “I am really pleased to have him involved with us. He was thorn in our side last season and I would rather have on our side than against us”.
Saturday’s 2-0 win over Enfield Town came courtesy of first goals from two of the club’s summer signings, Adam Tann and Aaron Greene, which were both scored in the first half.
It saw The Yellows record their first home win in the Ryman League Premier Division, following two 2-2 draws since promotion, and kept up their unbeaten start.
Ahead of travelling to Godbold’s former club, Lowestoft Town, tomorrow in a Suffolk derby (Monday, August 29 3pm), AFC are fourth in the table after five games with their opponents lying in 10th, following their 1-0 defeat at Havant & Waterlooville on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the club have also announced that young goalkeeper Callum Robinson, who was previously with Colchester United’s academy ahead of signing for AFC Sudbury in the summer, has signed dual registration terms with Thurlow Nunn League side Kirkley & Pakefield in order to get games while Marcus Garnham remains in possession of the number one shirt.
Elsewhere in the Ryman League, AFC’s divisional rivals Needham Market also kept up their unbeaten start to the campaign with a 1-0 win at Folkestone Invicta, with recent recruit Reece Dobson scoring the winner, as he did at Kingstonian (2-1) seven days previously, to leave the Marketmen seventh.
In Division One North, Bury Town are fifth are drawing 1-1 at home to Great Wakering Rovers with captain Bradley Barber’s 41st minute opener cancelled out by Tony Jacobs’ leveller 10 minutes after the re-start.
An Adam Mills strike on the stroke of half-time consigned Soham Town Rangers to a 1-0 defeat at Maldon & Tiptree, with The Greens second-from-bottom, only having a point from their opening three matches.

Sean Park (5-30) took five wickets to restrict the hosts Vauxhall to 202-8, before an unbeaten century from Daron Cruickshank (128 not out) helped Bury to a winning score of 206-4, and saw them climb up to ninth in the Gibbs Denley East Anglian Premier League table.
Elsewhere, Sudbury slipped to sixth in the table after a crushing nine wicket defeat at home to Burwell, and Woolpit dropped to the foot of the table after drawing at Copdock and Old Ipswichian.
In the Dipple and Conway Opticians Norfolk League, Diss were relegated from the Premier Division after an eight wicket defeat at Downham Town.
Despite a century from Chris Cooper (120) helping Diss score a total of 244, Downham (245-2) reached the target with the loss of just two wickets, and coupled with Cromer picking up maximum points in their win over Sprowston, it meant Diss will finish the season in the bottom two.
Garboldisham climbed up to second place in the Premier Division after beating North Runcton by 69 runs, while Old Buckenham’s four run defeat at newly crowned champions Brooke saw them drop to fourth.
Elsewhere, Mildenhall stretched their lead at the top of Marshall Hatchick Two Counties Championship Division One at the weekend.
Mildenhall secured a 35 run win at home to Frinton II, while nearest rivals Wivenhoe lost at home to Witham, meaning Ben Shepperson’s men now hold a 30 point lead at the top of the table.

The Roger Varian-trained secured the fourth Group 1 win of his career, while taking his tally of consecutive victories to six, by winning the Juddmonte International.
The win was also a maiden top-flight success over ten furlongs for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s son of Dubawi.
Ridden by Andrea Atzeni, he proved just as dominant dropped back in trip, dispatching a 12-strong field, which included four further Group 1 winner.
After the race, Varian told www.varianstable.com: “He’s an incredible horse and I’m very lucky to train him. We didn’t have long to get him ready and he only really turned the corner two weeks ago.
“In the last seven days he’d looked to have blossomed and the change in him over the last week gave us confidence he was right.
“I trusted in the horse’s condition and he’s delivered.
“Congratulations to Sheikh Mohammed Obaid and all of the team at home.
“This was a wonderful victory and I am delighted for everyone involved with the horse.
The victory increased Posponed’s career earnings to more than £4,360,000, closing the gap on the all-time record for a British-trained horse.
There was more success for Varian in the shape of Barsanti in the opening mile-and-a-half handicap at York on Friday.
A course and distance winner at the Dante Meeting, a return to handicap company worked the oracle for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s son of Champs Elysees, who defied the burden of nine stone ten to register his fourth win of the campaign.
A delighted Varian said: ““Barsanti continues to improve and this trip on fast ground really suit him.
“He’s given plenty of weight to some progressive rivals here, and I suspect the form will prove solid with the right horses coming to the fore.
“He has a tremendous attitude, showing great guts in the finish. I suspect we will return to stakes company now.”
Barsanti provided Atzeni with his fourth victory of the Ebor Festival, cementing his place at top of the leading riders’ table.
There was also double success for Newmarket trainer Charlie Appleby on the final day of the festival with Scottish and Blue Point.
Scottish was an impressive winner of the Group 3 Betfred Mobile Strensall Stakes, travelling powerfully throughout.
The horse eased into a clear advantage under William Buick andnow looks destined to take his chance in the Caulfield Cup, in Australia, in October.
Blue Point, also ridden by Buick, sprinted away with the Gimcrack Stakes.
The Godolphin-owned favourite beat Mokarris by three lengths.
A memorable day for Buick was completed with victory on the Hugo-Palmer trained Wall of Fire in the Betfred Melrose Stakes to give the jockeya treble on the afternoon.

Thurlow Nunn League First Division outfit Halstead pulled off one of the results of the day in the Emirates FA Cup preliminary round on Saturday, coming away from Ryman League Division One North side Thurrock with a 3-2 victory.
Tom Cook’s stunning long-range curling effort gave The Humbugs an early lead before they were in dreamland at 2-0 up inside 15 minutes when Joe O’Hare’s effort from effort from near the halfway line caught the wind and sailed in.
Halstead managed to hold out until half-time and extended their lead to three when, against the run of play, substitute Charlie Pleace nodded in Jordan Hutching’s cross.
The visitors’ defence was finally breached in the 70th minute when Pete Davies put through his own net, and after some great goalkeeping from Joe Fowler, it was not until five minutes from time that Thurrock got it back to 3-2, but Halstead held out for a memorable victory.
The north Essex side’s reward is a derby date at Ryman Premier AFC Sudbury in the first qualifying round a week on Saturday.
Elsewhere in the FA Cup, Soham Town Rangers recorded their first win of the season to seal their progress with a 4-1 home victory over Harrowby United.
Robbie Mason gave the hosts a 1-0 half-time lead with a 13th minute strike before a 56th minute equaliser was soon cancelled out by second-half goals from Kieran Bailey, Billy Harris and Jordan Gent. Soham will travel to Rushall Olympic in the next round.
Bury Town’s 2016/17 FA Cup ended at the first hurdle at Ram Meadow though, losing 3-0 to Spalding United.
The hosts had been the dominant side in the first half but lost both Ollie Canfer (head injury) and Josh Mayhew (hamstring) before the break.
In the second half they conceded three unanswered goals, with Bradley Wells striking twice as well as Andrew Wright’s 85th effort.
Long Melford also exited the competition after being well beaten in a 2-0 defeat at Stoneylands by fellow Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division side Saffron Walden Town, who they had beaten at the same venue just five days earlier.
In the Ryman League Premier Division, newly-promoted AFC Sudbury are up to fourth after the opening three games following their 1-0 win at Merstham, which was sealed when Liam Wales scored the game’s only goal in the 86th minute.
Needham Market, in eigth, continued their unbeaten start with their first three point haul, winning 2-1 at Kingstonian thanks to coming from behind with second-half goals from summer signings Jack Curtis and Reece Dobson.
In the Thurlow Nunn League, Mildenhall Town continue to be the early pacesetters in the Premier Division after recording their fourth straight victory, winning 5-1 at Fakenham Town on Saturday.
Jacob Brown, Matthew Green, Stephen Spriggs, Daniel Brown and Ross Munro were all on target for The Hall.
In the First Division there were first wins for Debebham LC and Cornard United, while Needham Market Reserves were thrashed 12-2 at league newboys Coggeshall Town.
In the Sky Bet Championship the East Anglian Derby ended honours even at Portman Road as Ipswich Town came from behind with Jonas Knudsen’s strike in first-half injury-time following Cameron Jerome’s opener for Norwich City.

CHAMPIONSHIP
DIVISION ONE
Mildenhall 255-7 beat
Frinton-on-Sea II 220-7
by 35 runs
With four matches remaining to play in this season’s campaign, the supposed “Mildenhall Juggernaut” looked more like a low loader as it ground out an unconvincing 35-run win at home against Frinton-on-Sea II on Saturday.
Mildenhall were invited to bat first and Joe Reed and Steve Taylor had reached 88 just before the halfway point, having been largely contained by 10 overs of medium line and length bowling by Frinton’s Tony Stubbs.
Reed was then bowled by Russ Stockdale for 37, with Luke Youngs and Taylor gradually accelerating the score with an 86-run partnership.
Taylor (82) had a let-off on 49 when a double fumble allowed him to avoid being run out, but in the 40th over he was caught by Stubbs off Jack Oakes.
Youngs (48) was the third wicket to go down with the score on 192, before skipper Ben Shepperson departed for 15.
Peter Worthington (28 not out) and Kyle Morrison (19) quickly added 30 in the next three overs as Mildenhall closed on 255-7.
Frinton had reached 121 by the 27th over when Stockdale was caught for 70 by Reed, who finished with three wickets as the visitors closed on 220-7.
n Mildenhall II were eight-wicket winners away at a weakened Exning side, with Jon Allen (3-27), Matt Heywood (3-36) and Steve Graham (66) impressing.
n Mildenhall III secured a four-wicket home win over Elmstead II and a much-changed Mildenhall IV lost to Halstead III by eight wickets.
n Mildenhall Sunday finished the season unbeaten after beating Bury St Edmunds by seven wickets in their final game, while Mildenhall Sunday II finished nine runs short against Edwardstone.
n Mildenhall Ladies won by 45-runs against close table rivals Ipswich Ladies to still be in with a chance of winning the title. | http://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/cricket/mildenhall-go-further-clear-at-the-top-of-division-one-1-7544065 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/9b7dc25e6ffe630ec8e8aba36e6ef01dc80c05d1f172b332dc579e2f3cb97d37.json |

Almost all winter barley and winter OSR crops are now safely in the shed and although the results have been generally disappointing, prospects for both winter wheat and spring barley crops look much more promising.
Several local growers have made a start with harvesting both of the above this week and although yields are down on last year’s bumper crop, they both appear in line with the five year average.
Winter wheat yields have ranged anywhere from 3 to 4.5 tonnes per acre and crop quality has so far been very good.
However, the majority of the samples we have seen are milling wheats, making it difficult to comment on bushel weights.
Feed wheat for September collection has rallied to £125/T ex-farm this week. Further forward, £130/T ex-farm is offered for collection before the end of the year.
Currency appears to be the main factor driving the London wheat market at the moment although last week’s all important USDA report proved favourable for European wheat values.
Total European wheat production is forecast nine million tonnes lower than last month’s estimate and although a reduction was expected, it is certainly larger than expected.
In addition to this, European wheat exports were reduced by seven million tonnes on last month’s estimate.
Ongoing issues with the French wheat crop are predominantly responsible for the downgrade although prospects for this year’s German wheat crop are also questionable.
Meanwhile, early spring barley samples look promising although as with the wheat, the majority of samples seen are grown for a premium and it is therefore difficult to draw any conclusions regarding quality at this stage.
The number one malting barley variety Concerto appears to be doing particularly well with yields in excess of three tonnes per acre commonplace.
Quality of this variety in particular has been excellent; bold grains with low nitrogen contents and minimal screenings.
For those of you with uncontracted spring malting in the ground, please contact the office to discuss your requirements. | http://www.beverleyguardian.co.uk/news/local/winter-wheat-crops-look-promising-1-8071933 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.beverleyguardian.co.uk/02bec92cf25397fb6bcaaf0d84a17474c4050adc73a52d6a509e20175d494d64.json |

Her trip is paid for but her family has pledged to raise £5,000, which is the cost of building one house for a family that currently live on the rubbish tips of the city.
Hannah said: “My grandfather Pat Rohan was a racehorse trainer in Malton for many years. He died at Christmas so we came up with the idea of cycling around the Yorkshire racecourses.
“It is huge amount of money and I will be pedalling as hard as I can to buy as many bricks as possible while learning about my racing heritage and my grandfather along the way. It has become our goal to raise the money and help to build a house for a family – every penny we raise will go towards that aim.
“As well as being a labourer for the house building, we will be working on the charity’s educational and welfare projects. I have had the OK to teach the children in the school rounders which I am sure they will love.”

Whitkirk sealed promotion from Division One despite finishing second best in a drawn match at title rivals Malton & Old Malton.
The hosts had Gary Hall (70) and Daniel Harper (47) to thank as they reached 209-9, Paul Johnson taking 5-32 in only his second appearance of the season for the leaders.
Simon and Matthew Webb made 64 and 62 respectively as the visitors closed on 179-6 in reply.
The result extended second placed Malton's unbeaten run to eight matches and victory next week will likely see them join Whitkirk in the Premier Divison next season.
Harrogate retained an outside chance of promotion with a two wicket win as they hosted Beverley Town 2nds.
Brad Dobson (82) top scored the visitors reached 165-9, Abdi Hasan-Ahmed finishing with 3-47.
Alex Nightingale responded with 4-37 but his efforts could not prevent the hosts reaching their target, George Hampson remaining unbeaten on 35 at the close.
With four sides set to be relegated at the end of the current campaign any of the clubs outside the top three could still find themselves joining Osbaldwick, who fate is already sealed, in the third tier next season.
Folkton & Flixton look the least likely to go down after they beat Patrington by 56 runs.
Stuart Stocks proved to be the difference between the sides making 65 in a total of 166 as Jack Eggrett took 3-18.
Chris Mann responded with 4-21 as the visitors were bowled out for 110 which included 32 from Jacob Duffill.
Pocklington must be favourites for an immediate return to Division Two, having spent the entire season in the bottom four.
They were unable to build on last week’s victory going down by four wickets at home to Hornsea despite scoring over 300. Andy Innes made 102 and Liam Serginson 50 as the hosts reached 303-7 from 48 overs.
In a match dominated by the bat Jonathan Fisher (106) responded with his second century of the campaign and Adam Newington made 40 as the visitors reached their target with seven overs to spare.
Sewerby’s Scott Cooper (101) was their star as his side chased down Bridlington’s total of 170 with five wickets in hand.
Earlier John Major had made 84 but Steve Janney with 5-47 helped restrict the home side.
The result leaves Bridlington third from bottom while enhancing Sewerby’s chances of retaining their Division One status. | http://www.beverleyguardian.co.uk/sport/local-sport/york-league-scarborough-beat-pikes-to-boost-promotion-hopes-1-8080554 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.beverleyguardian.co.uk/e189663a1e1336b6a97230123f2c7098ffad83f0b766d3fa67bf6997d3658115.json |

Why, the Yorkshire captain said so himself.
Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale has been hard at work in the nets. Picture: Jonathan Gawthorpe.
“If there was a second team lad who was stacking them up, and really putting pressure on, then it would be a case of leaving myself out,” he admitted prior to this match.
“But there’s no one really breathing down my neck.”
Gale, who added that he wanted to be “speaking for myself with runs”, had made 327 of them in the Championship this season at 19.23.
He had managed only one half-century in 18 innings.
Admitting that his form was “a worry”, and that he was “short of confidence”, Gale did what he has traditionally done in such situations – he knuckled down and fought with every sinew.
The result was an innings of 83 at Old Trafford yesterday which, although not the three-figure score he had set his heart on, was testimony to his character, an innings which helped Yorkshire to avoid the follow-on as they made 360 in reply to 494, Lancashire ending day three on 70-0 in their second innings, enjoying a lead of 204.
Had Gale translated his highest score of the season into his first century of the campaign, it would have been a fitting achievement.
It was on his last appearance at Old Trafford in 2014 that he had the infamous altercation with Ashwell Prince that led to him being banned and prevented from lifting the Championship trophy.
That episode was the nadir of Gale’s career, so it would have been a cathartic experience to have registered a hundred.
As it was, he could content himself with a fine contribution, one which restated his personal authority and which helped his side in a sticky situation.
That situation saw the Yorkshire score standing at 55-2 when Gale came to the crease on the second afternoon.
He and Alex Lees added 81 in 42 overs before close of play, and the pair carried on from where they left off in glorious sunshine yesterday morning.
Gale battled through to a half-century from 162 balls with six fours, with Yorkshire building a powerful platform.
But they lost the anchoring presence of Lees when the stand was worth 130, the opener falling lbw to Kyle Jarvis for a splendid 85 after starting the day on 62.
It was a composed performance from Lees, who faced 260 balls and hit 10 fours, and there was no let-up from Yorkshire as Gale found another strong ally in Jake Lehmann.
The 24-year-old Australian – son of former Yorkshire batsman and current Australia coach Darren Lehmann – soon found his feet in his first innings for the club.
With an effortlessness evocative of his father, Lehmann off-drove Jarvis to the foot of the old pavilion and promptly repeated the feat.
There was a lovely cover-driven four off Nathan Buck and a cut off Tom Smith to the backward-point rope as Lehmann raised a fifty partnership with his captain in just 52 balls.
The stand was broken moments before lunch when Gale was caught in the gully by Simon Kerrigan off Smith, playing a cut shot to a ball that deserved the treatment.
Gale was annoyed with himself for picking out the man, but it was a gutsy effort from the Yorkshire skipper.
After lunch, the visitors slipped from 272-4 to 283-7, at which point the follow-on target was still 62 away.
Adil Rashid was brilliantly caught by Haseeb Hameed at short-leg off Kerrigan, the 19-year-old taking an instinctive catch when the batsman flicked the ball firmly off the back foot.
Lehmann played-on at an attempted cover-drive off Jarvis, falling four short of a half-century, and Tim Bresnan went lbw playing back to Jarvis.
But Andrew Hodd and Steve Patterson added 58 in 17 overs, Hodd scoring a vital 43 before being superbly caught by a diving Liam Livingstone, who ran quickly to his right from slip to take the chance at full stretch after the batsman sliced a leg-side drive.
Patterson cover-drove Nathan Buck to the boundary to take Yorkshire to the magic figure of 345, before the same bowler castled him as he aimed towards leg.
Ryan Sidebottom was last out, caught behind off Kerrigan, the Yorkshireman walking before the umpire raised his finger – an example of good sportsmanship in the passionate cauldron of Roses cricket.
Smith and Hameed, the Lancashire openers, played impressively when the hosts replied.
Hameed, looking every inch a future England player, produced some delightful shots as Lancashire extended their lead in the evening sunshine. | http://www.beverleyguardian.co.uk/sport/local-sport/lancashire-v-yorkshire-day-three-captain-s-innings-from-andrew-gale-arrives-at-ideal-time-1-8070767 | en | 2016-08-16T00:00:00 | www.beverleyguardian.co.uk/8e1b16a466721561e3ae54286a3a82d3233500c595a53ecf7d3911557b0e4932.json |

For only a couple of hours before Sir Bradley Wiggins was crowned our most decorated Olympian when storming to another gold medal at Rio on Friday, Frankie Dettori was joining that exclusive club of jockeys to have ridden 3,000 winners in the UK.
Of course, on the sporting pages and websites of the nation, Dettori’s achievement was all but buried under the avalanche of phenomenal success-stories from Brazil, spearheaded not only by Wiggins but also by the likes of Mo Farah, Max Whitlock (by the way, how good is he?), Jason Kenny and Laura Trott.
But within racing’s celebrated bubble, the existence of which is all too hastily derided, the exploits of the 45-year-old Italian are a big deal. And while his Milanese birthplace would always preclude celebrations of Olympic-style patriotism, it was, in many ways, fitting that, for a brief moment, Frankie shared the limelight with ‘Wiggo’. The pair boast the same genes when it comes to charisma, individuality and popularity with the public. It’s not hard to imagine, for instance, Frankie sticking his tongue out on an Olympic podium with exactly the same kind of rebellious cheekiness that tempted Wiggins.
Because of that aforementioned bubble, racing’s characters rarely connect with Joe or Josephine Public. During the fag end of his riding career, they were made fully aware of the phenomenon that is Tony McCoy. But still, if you took a stroll down your local high street tomorrow morning and asked, at random, a dozen people if they could name a jockey, most would come up with Frankie Dettori.
For the best part of 30 years now, Frankie has been wowing those people and sprinkling his stardust with an infectious effervescence, a beaming smile and those trademark flying dismounts. His personality has transcended racing. At a time when terrestrial TV ruled the airwaves, he was one of its biggest go-to celebrities. He was a team captain on ‘A Question Of Sport’ at a time when the BBC’s quiz show was adored by millions.
It was also a time long before the advent of ‘talent’ and ‘reality’ shows created stars simply for being famous. Recognisability had to be earned through natural ability, and after he landed the first two of three champion-jockey crowns in the mid-1990s, Frankie propelled himself into the public’s consciousness on a day of unparalleled brilliance at Ascot in September 1996. It was a day when his talent in the saddle was never better highlighted as he went through the card for his renowned ‘Magnificent Seven’. And no ordinary card either. A big Saturday branded as the ‘Festival Of British Racing’, spearheaded by the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and supported by big races such as the Diadem, Cumberland Lodge and Rosemary Stakes. I was at Ascot that day, so no surprise that it is my most monumental regret in racing that I had to leave early before the last to get a train back home for a do that evening!
Fujiyama Crest was the name of Frankie’s crowning-glory winner that I missed, following Wall Street, Diffident, Mark Of Esteem, Decorated Hero, Fatefully and Lochangel. And it was probably appropriate that he made all on Sir Michael Stoute’s stayer, for while the Italian belongs to that surprisingly elite band of jockeys who can ride winners from all tactical angles, front-running is a speciality, whether it be at his beloved Newmarket, as he demonstrated with that 3,000th triumph aboard Predilection on Friday night, or abroad. Many a time he has ridden his rivals to sleep by dictating the fractions in Group contests in France.
Frankie becomes only the eighth jockey in Britain to break through the 3,000 barrier. And when you consider he is still more than 1,600 behind Pat Eddery, it rams home what an astonishing operator Eddery was. But he has reached the milestone without ever adopting the modus operandi of a McCoy or a Richard Johnson by trekking the length and breadth of the country to churn out the winners. As McCoy said in a tribute to him on Friday: “I told Frankie he’d have ridden 6,000 winners if he wasn’t just a weekend and big-race jockey!”
There was an element of truth to his tongue-in-cheek jibe. Frankie has always been a man for the big stage, the international stage, for the Yorks, the Longchamps and the Leopardstowns, rather than the Cattericks and the Carlisles. A locker that reveals no fewer than 16 Classics, four Arcs and 11 Breeders’ Cup victories tells you that.
He’s also a rider who surfs the mood-swings. One who can be relied upon fully when his enthusiasm is boiling over. Not so, by his own admission, when he is struggling for form. He once said: “I am a lot more sensitive than people realise, and I have a habit of withdrawing into myself like a crab under a shell when things go wrong.”
Things went very wrong four years ago when his long-standing tie-up with Godolphin collapsed, and a six-month ban for cocaine-use even led to an appearance on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ to try and resurrect his falling star.
Then along came jobs with old pal, John Gosden, and new pals, Al Shaqab Racing, a wonder horse in Golden Horn and a renaissance, defined by his ride of genius on the latter in last year’s Arc, that has served to remind racing how lucky it is to have one of its gold medals hanging from the neck of Lanfranco Oscar Dettori.
Who wins the Ebor and the Gimcrack at York?
One of racing’s most prized assets is its rich heritage and history, which is often transmitted through its long-standing races. Among punters and racegoers, these races become familiar ‘friends’ to be revisited each year. It is one of the reasons why the Cheltenham Festival is so popular. York’s Ebor Festival is held in similar affection, and two of the oldest races on the calendar bring this week’s renewal to a close on Saturday -- the Ebor Handicap, which dates back to 1843, and the Gimcrack Stakes, first run 170 years ago. Finding the winners of the two staples is never easy. For instance, in the last ten years, one Ebor victor has come in at 100/1, one at 33s, three at 25s and one at 20s! It doesn’t stop us trying, though, does it? Consider IVAN GROZNY in the Ebor and MOKARRIS in the Gimcrack.

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.
Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired, Liberty Ship, Bang Bang Romeo, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."
Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."
The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

On the other, when they last reached a one-day final in 2002, Yorkshire beat yesterday’s opponents in the semi-finals at Headingley before going on to beat Somerset – who contest the other semi against Warwickshire today – by six wickets at Lord’s.

Something had to give, and on a grey day at Headingley, that something was the hope that Surrey’s latest semi-final trip to Leeds might prove a good omen.
After the visitors scored 255-7, Steven Davies leading the way with 104 and Ben Foakes making a one-day career-best 90, Yorkshire came up short at 236 as their semi-final hoodoo continued apace.
Before a disappointing crowd of 4,836, which was not the bumper gate Yorkshire had been hoping for on Bank Holiday Sunday, the hosts made an excellent start after winning the toss.
Jack Brooks had Dominic Sibley lbw with the final delivery of the second over – umpire Peter Hartley deciding that the ball would not have drifted down leg-side, as replays suggested it might – and Tim Bresnan picked up the key wicket of Kumar Sangakkara with the fourth delivery of the third over.
Surrey's Steven Davies celebrates what proved to be a match-winning century against Yorkshire at Headingley in the Royal London Cup semi-final. Picture: Richard Sellers/PA .
The Sri Lankan, who had chopped the previous ball to the point boundary to get off the mark, drove on the up to cover, where Azeem Rafiq picked out the catch.
Sangakkara, who won the quarter-final against Northants with an unbeaten 130, has a mystifyingly poor record against Yorkshire; in eight innings against them in all cricket, he has managed 179 runs at 22.37.
From 8-2, things could only get better for Surrey, and they did as Davies and Rory Burns added 53 in 12 overs.
Davies, silky and stylish through the offside, injected impetus and Burns kept him good company, sensibly giving his partner as much strike as possible. Just as Surrey were starting to seize control, Matthew Waite, the 20-year-old making his first appearance in this year’s tournament, broke the stand with his opening ball from the Kirkstall Lane end.
Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan (left) and Will Rhodes encourage each other during the run chase against Surrey at Headingley yesterday. Picture: Richard Sellers/PA.
It was an innocuous leg-stump half-volley, and Burns carelessly helped it to Steve Patterson at deep fine-leg.
Waite might have had a wicket with his fourth ball, too, when Davies, on 43, drove back a return chance, but the ball seemed to come back a little slower than Waite expected, and the opportunity was lost.
It was another 24 overs before Yorkshire struck again, Waite finally getting Davies when he wellied a low full toss to deep square.
Thus ended a stand of 130 between Davies and Foakes, which beat Surrey’s previous best for the fourth wicket in one-day cricket against Yorkshire of 110 between Monty Lynch and Andrew Needham at Bradford in 1985.
Waite captured his third wicket when Sam Curran highlighted Surrey’s tendency towards over-funkiness by trying one ramp shot too many, stepping away so far to the offside that he was unable to prevent the ball clattering into leg stump.
Surrey ideally needed one of Davies or Foakes to be there at the end, but Foakes followed his partner back to the pavilion when he was sixth out at 249, ramping Bresnan to Brooks at short fine-leg.
Ollie Pope, an 18-year-old making his List A debut, chipped in with 20, but boundaries proved elusive as Surrey failed to summon a grandstand finish.
Yorkshire’s bowlers deserved credit for restricting them, and Pope was run-out off the final ball of the innings as only 63 came off the last 10 overs.
It felt as though Yorkshire had their noses in front at halfway, but those noses were put out of joint when Adam Lyth hit Jade Dernbach to cover in the third over.
Alex Lees played some handsome strokes before being undone in the flight by Gareth Batty, and Yorkshire lost the key wicket of Jonny Bairstow when he chipped Stuart Meaker’s third ball to mid-wicket.
In Meaker’s second over, Gary Ballance tried to steer to third man and was caught behind, and Meaker claimed his third victim in nine balls when Jack Leaning chopped on.
Having looked relatively comfortable at 75-2, Yorkshire were suddenly 81-5 and looking anything but in control, the soft nature of their dismissals undoubtedly a frustration.
But Yorkshire showed characteristic fight as Bresnan and Waite combined in a stand of 80 in 16 that changed the mood and momentum.
Waite, impressively unflustered for one so young, showed a fine temperament and some deft touches before falling for 38, the ball perhaps stopping in the pitch as he lobbed Sam Curran to Batty at mid-off. Bresnan then added 46 in eight overs with Will Rhodes, who was brilliantly run-out by a direct hit from Tom Curran at point as he tried to steal a single off Dernbach.
Tom Curran had Rafiq caught at long-on and Patterson held at mid-wicket, and Dernbach ended things with seven balls remaining when Bresnan picked out long-off. | http://www.beverleyguardian.co.uk/sport/local-sport/royal-london-cup-semi-final-misery-continues-for-yorkshire-as-they-come-up-short-against-surrey-1-8093704 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.beverleyguardian.co.uk/319adc6f19446068be2b7901466c47c1016bc36ad8a244bcf8d68372bc7845c7.json |

Yorkshire are aiming to reach their first Lord’s final since 2002 when they take on Surrey at Headingley (11am start).
THREAT: Surrey's Kumar Sangakkara
It is the second successive season that Yorkshire have reached the Royal London semis, with the club going down by eight wickets to eventual champions Gloucestershire at Headingley last year.
Surrey, last season’s runners-up, will pose another stiff test, but Gillespie has been encouraged by Yorkshire’s white-ball performances, with the club having also reached the semi-finals of the NatWest T20 Blast before losing to Durham.
“We’ve seen clear progress in white-ball cricket this year,” said Gillespie. “We’re not the finished article, but we’ve definitely seen improvements overall in both of the comps.
“We should have chased down the runs against Durham in the T20 semi, even though Mark Wood bowled very well against us.
“But that’s gone now, and I’m pleased overall with how the lads have gone about their work in one-day cricket.”
To get past Surrey, Yorkshire must overcome a semi-final hoodoo in List A cricket. Their defeat to Gloucestershire last season was their 16th in 19 one-day cup semis.
“That stat isn’t in our minds,” said Gillespie. “It hasn’t even been discussed. Sunday is a new day, and the fact is that we’ve played some good cricket in the 50-over comp.
“We know Surrey are a quality team and that people will see them as favourites, which is okay with us.
“We just need to go out there and play the best cricket we can and focus on that.”
On paper, the biggest danger to Yorkshire is Kumar Sangakkara, the former Sri Lanka batsman/wicketkeeper. Sangakkara, 38, scored an unbeaten 130 to help Surrey to a dramatic one-wicket win off the last ball of their quarter-final at Northants.
“Sangakkara is clearly an extremely dangerous player,” said Gillespie, whose side booked their semi-final place with an 11-run win over Kent at Canterbury.
“He has a proven track record, and he is capable of winning games single-handed.
“At the same time, we will do our homework against him and encourage our bowlers and everyone to do their research.
“Phil Dicks (the Yorkshire analyst) puts a lot of stuff together, and the players have iPads where they can look at all the relevant footage – ie, where Sangakkara scores his runs, his wagon wheels, and potentially where he could be vulnerable, which is what we do with all our opponents.”
Yorkshire’s attention to detail in this regard has increased markedly in recent times.
Dicks is an important member of the backroom operation, equipping players with all the necessary stats and info.
“Phil has been brilliant,” said Gillespie. “He’s an important cog in the support staff at Yorkshire.

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.
360 PHOTO: Take a look around the muddy camp site where hundreds of music fans also pitched their tents at Leeds Festival - CLICK HERE.
Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired and Liberty Ship, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."

Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."
The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

Yorkshire's Olympic cycling superstar Ed Clancy hopes to equal Sir Bradley Wiggins' total of five gold medals.
The 31-year-old, Barnsley born and Huddersfield raised, is already the county's most decorated athlete in Olympic history after helping to defend the men's team pursuit title from Beijing and London, picking up his third gold in Rio.

After their win, in a video chat with Clancy at Team GB in the Olympic Village - watch it above - he told how he is now thinking four years ahead to what could be his own fairytale ending in Tokyo.
There he believes he could end up with two more Olympic golds.
That would put him level with Wiggins, aged 36, who ends his career as the most decorated British Olympic athlete with five golds, a silver and two bronzes to surpass fellow cyclist Sir Chris Hoy's tally of six golds and a silver..
Clancy, the only ever present member of the pursuit team to have won gold in the most recent three Olympics, said:: "I'm 31 now and I've got three golds. I'm going to do Tokyo, at least that's the plan.
Ed Clancy wins his third Olympic gold medal in Rio
"So who knows, I might pick up another one; two if I'm really lucky.
"In reality it's going to be very, very hard to match Sir Brad, but that's nothing to be ashamed of. He's a brilliant guy. He's been a real addition to this team. Brad's retired now but I'm grateful I've gone through two Olympics with him."
He paid tribute to National Lottery funding, distributed by UK Sport, which has given the financial support to take him and Team GB up the medals league table.
Clancy said: "My whole career started with them really. I was brought in through the talent team - British Cycling it was called back in the day and it's called Go Ride now.
Five gold medals for retiring Team GB cycling legend Sir Bradley Wiggins.
"Keep buying Lottery tickets. It's not just me that benefits from this.Without the funding, the input we've had from the Lottery and the Government we wouldn't be here."
The Yorkshireman was the beating heart of Rio's four man pursuit team, also featuring Owain Doull and Steven Burke, which saw Wiggins retire after their dramatic world record victory over Australia,
In a stand-out moment of an amazing Games for Team GB they came from behind in the pursuit final to beat the Aussies by almost a second with barely 500m of the 4,000m contest to go.
They set a new world record in the heat and broke it once again in the final, with a time of 3:50.265, in Rio's Olympic Park.
Going for gold in Rio - the GB Men's Pursuit Team
But it was against all the odds.The team failed at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and they didn't make the podium at last year’s world championships
Clancy was suffering from his own problems, slipping a disc in his back after a training session - simply picking his bag up in the changing room. Surgery followed, forcing him to miss the European championships.
He only turned it around in recent weeks, with reports from the team’s training base in Wales that they were going well after smashing the world record in a practice session. A nd he said it felt like the best gold yet.
"Yes, I'm over the moon," he said.
"It's been a difficult time between London Olympics and getting here in 2016, not just in terms of motivation but getting over injuries and what not.
"There is an old sayting, the tougher the fight the sweeter the victory and it's so true. I've never had to work so hard for this one.
"I had to get over a back surgery in December and scrape into the team in the World Championships, just to qualify your place. It's been a tough one but crossing that line ahead of the Aussies made it all so worthwhile.
"In a typical Team Pursuit the most efficient way to get from A to B is to set off hard, reach a cruising speed which you can only just hang on to, however the problem is if you ride like that in a final the other team can just set off like maniacs, get in your slip stream and then it's very hard to get rid of them.
"So both us and the Aussies were well over world record pace for the first two or three kilometers, way over it. There was no schedule really, We went flat out from the gun. I'm guessing they just pushed it a little bit too much, too soon.
"That's pursuiting. It's easy to go fast for the first three kilometers. You've got to cross the line after four kilometers.
"I guess we just paced it that little bit better than the Aussies and came better in the last two laps.
"It's like a house of cards, as soon as you take one guy out of the equation all comes crumbling down eventually. It might take one, two, three laps...but by the time that guy's got to do his turn again, they had nothing to give so it was good for us."

"We are doing this for free, for people to come here not for a night at the movies but a night in our bar, having fun and showing their skills of movie knowledge out.
"We've had a sci-fi quiz, a Marvel quiz and next we're having a Page To Screen quiz. So it's something for everyone. Some of the audience and our staff even dressed up for it.
"The space is bookable, we have had private events in the past, where people have hired the bar out with food for parties. Anything is a possibility in the new Cineworld Sheffield."
