FAMOUS YORKSHIRE FOOD COMPANIES AND BRANDS
Thornton's - the High Street sweet shop favourite was founded in Sheffield in 1911 by Joseph Thornton. Following his death in 1919, his sons took over the business and watched it grow across northern England and then Britain.
Harry Ramsden - The world famous fish and chip shop began in 1928 when Harry Ramsden began selling fish and chips from a hut on the outskirts of Guiseley. Harry built the world's biggest fish and chip shop on the site and although it closed in 2011 and now trades under another name, the brand continues across the world.
You can't beat a cup of Yorkshire Tea.
Aunt Bessie's - The world's largest brand of frozen Yorkshire Puddings began life in Hull just over 20 years ago. Previously, the firm had made and sold puddings to Butlin's holiday camps to keep holidaymakers from going hungry.
Terry's - The purveyor of the world famous All Gold chocolate selection box and the Chocolate Orange, the firm began life in 1823 in York, eventually leading to the construction of a massive chocolate factory in the city, which closed down more than a decade ago.
Rowntree's - Another sweet treat favourite based in York, the firm has given the world Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums, Tooty Frooties, Jelly Tots and chocolate bars such as Kit Kat, Aero, Smarties as well as Dairy Box, Black Magic and Polos.
Mackintosh - Cementing Yorkshire's place as a provider of sweets, the Halifax based toffee manufacturer gave us brands such as Quality Street, Rolo, Caramac and Toffee Crisp before merging with Rowntree.
The Kit Kat has been a staple of Yorkshire lunchboxes since the 1930s.
Bassett's - Founded by George Bassett in Sheffield in 1842, the firm first gave the world liquorice allsorts - with the mixed bag of confection arriving by accident when a travelling salesman dropped his boxes of sweets on a sales visit. The shopkeeper decided the mixed up sweets looked better and so an institution was born.
Fox's Biscuits - A small confectionery shop founded in the centre of Batley in 1853 is the root of the biscuit empire which has given the world brands such as Rocky, Echo and Classic.
Seabrook Crisps - Founded in 1945 by Charles Brook in Bradford in 1945. The crisp manufacturer's name came about when a clerk wrote Seabrook instead of C Brook - and another Yorkshire legend arrived.
Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate - Nothing says Yorkshire more than tea and cakes at Bettys. The firm was established in 1919 and the world famous Harrogate cafe was the world's first branch. It bought the Yorkshire Tea brand Taylors in 1962.
Henderson's Relish - Dinner (or should that be tea?) just isn't the same in Sheffield without a splash of Hendo's on it. The spicy sauce has now outgrown its South Yorkshire roots and while still made there is now enjoyed across the land by the likes of Sean Bean and Def Leppard.
KP Nuts - The firm begain in Rotherham in the 1850s with the famous nuts arriving a century later in 1853. The KP stands for Kenyon Produce.
The Harry Ramsden restaurant in Guiseley before its closure.
YORKSHIRE FOOD AND DRINK WE'VE GIVEN THE WORLD
Pontefract Cakes - first made in the town in 1760. The licquorice sweets are an enduring favourite.
Wensleydale Cheese - The famous cheese, much loved by Wallace and Gromit, has been made at the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes to traditional recipes for decades.
Jelly Babies - The sweet treats were unveiled by Bassett's in 1918 to celebrate the end of World War One and were originally known as Peace Babies.
Polos - The mint with the hole first hit the shelves in 1948, courtesy of Rowntree's. However, the hole didn't appear until later - in 1955.
Kit Kat - Made its debut in 1935 as Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp and took on its famous moniker two years later so the world could have a break.
Smarties - The famous children's favourite chocolate beans took on the Smarties name in 1937 and have been a staple for youngsters everywhere ever since.
Samuel Smith's and John Smith's - both based in Tadcaster and from the same family strand. John Smith's Bitter is the nation's favourite beer, with more than a million pints sold across the UK each day.
Tetley's - Founded in 1822 by Joshua Tetley in Leeds, the brewery no longer exists, but the brand is still a big British seller with Smoothflow produced at other UK plants.
Theakston's Old Peculier - The distinctive black beer has been produced in Masham since 1827.
Tetley Tea - The largest tea company in the UK, the firm has Yorkshire roots with Joseph and Edward Tetley, who began selling sea salt in 1822, adding tea to their repertoire shortly afterwards.
Fentimans - Created in 1905 by Thomas Fentiman in Cleckheaton. Now based in Northumberland, the firm brews soft bottled drinks to traditional recipes.
Ginger beer - Originally an alcoholic drink, it has been in existence since the 1700s and was first created in Yorkshire.
Parkin - The Yorkshire form of gingerbread and traditionally eaten on Bonfire Night. It is thought to date from at least the 1700s.
Whitby scampi - Whitby Seafoods serves up scampi - langoustines (or in other words, mini lobsters) to plates across the world.
Yorkshire puddings - The mainstay of any Sunday dinner, the humble pud has been with us for more than 270 years and a recipe for a dripping pudding first originated in 1737.
Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb - The Rhubarb Triangle - an area between Wakefield, Leeds and Bradford - was given protected EC status. The plants are grown in the dark to make them more tender and sweet.
Fat Rascals - Yorkshire's favourite biscuit and another staple for any afternoon tea at Bettys. Their roots stem from Yorkshire - although no-one is quite sure of the story behind them.
McCain - The Scarborough chip manufacturer has been putting spuds on the nation's dinner plates for decades - and Oven Chips are its most popular brand.
Haribo - The German manufacturer has a factory in Pontefract which churns out billions of sweets annually, proving that kids and grown-ups do indeed love it so.

A single mother on benefits has hit out at a television show for portraying her life on welfare as an easy ride.
Unemployed Caroline McCracken, of Bridlington, says Channel 5’s On Benefits: Costa del Dole has cost her friends, and exposed her to abuse and ridicule.
Caroline McCracken said she has lost friends since On Benefits: Costa del Dole was broadcast
The qualified sewing machinist said she was devastated to read hundreds of “nasty” comments about her, following her appearance on last week’s programme.
She said: “It’s all the backlash that I’ve had. I’ve had to delete people on Facebook that I thought were once my friends and they’re not. They said some really cruel and bad things about me.”
The programme followed Caroline for six days, while she and her three children were living temporarily with a friend after becoming homeless seven months earlier.
She told the show she began claiming benefits 10 years ago, and that living on benefits “was not something I wanted,” and “it doesn’t make me feel happy at all”.
The programme followed Caroline and her children for six days, picture Channel 5
“I wish I’d not done it now,” Caroline told the Free Press.
“If I’d known this is how it was going to make me look, with half the people in Bridlington saying nasty things about me, I really wouldn’t have done it.”
The programme claimed Caroline received £1,700 in benefits per month, comprising income support, child benefits, child tax credits and carer’s allowance
But Caroline insists her two sons’ Disability Living Allowance had formed a significant portion of the figure, which went towards clothes, entertainment and special food.
“The money side of it is totally not right at all,” she said. “£416 of that was my son’s money and he’s no longer with me, so I no longer get his money.
“People in Bridlington are now saying ‘oh, we work and we don’t get that amount and how can she not afford an ice cream?’
“Next week, I lose a further £150 per week, so that’s going to be a further £600 a month that I’ll be losing, so I’ll only be on £1,000 per month.”
She also believes she was misled by the show’s creators, who she says told her that they wanted to document the plight of those on the benefits.
“We were told that it was going to be a good thing – that it wasn’t going to look bad on us and that local people in Bridlington sometimes struggle to get houses and benefits that they are entitled to.”
Now, Caroline says she wants people to stop judging her, and insists she would rather be in work than on benefits.
“They said I’ve never worked, that I’ve always been on benefits. That’s not true, I was actually a sewing machinist for 11 years, I’ve done cleaning at Hilderthorpe School, cleaning caravans.
“People may look at me on telly and think ‘she has got it easy’, but little do they know, I haven’t got it easy.
“I just find it awful – what people are saying about me. People who don’t know me don’t know how hard I’ve had it.”
The single mother said she would love to work with children or disabled children, because she has experience looking after her two sons with ADHD. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/brid-benefits-mum-hits-out-at-programme-1-8086387 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/35d591e0fe262984de0ed2d523ce407a0f45dee003e361269c01d4f777df50e3.json |

After carding 62 on both of the first two days, Belt and Webb were leading going into the final round at Carden Park in Cheshire.
They went round in 64 to see off the challenge of Scotland’s Mark Hillson and James McGhee, who were runners-up.
Speaking after day two, Belt, who represents Snainton Golf Centre said his partnership with Bedlingtonshire’s Webb was working perfectly.
“When he’s not been in it, I’ve been in it and vice versa which obviously helps,” said Belt.
“It’s always nice to be in the mix and we won’t be doing anything different.”

JASON GILLESPIE’s departure as Yorkshire’s first-team coach, after five years in charge of the county champions, had been on the cards for some time.
Earlier this summer, Gillespie’s wife, Anna, and their four children moved back to Adelaide in Australia.

It would be a strange marriage that could survive for several months apart on opposite sides of the world, although, on second thoughts, some couples would probably relish that thought.
Flippancy aside, Yorkshire had hoped to get at least one more year out of Gillespie, whose future had been the subject of regular speculation since he took the job in 2011.
Since then, the former Australia fast bowler has helped the club to one County Championship promotion and to back-to-back Championship titles, with the prospect of a hat-trick to follow next month.
Under Gillespie, Yorkshire have also twice reached NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day and successive Royal London Cup semi-finals, although, after 14 years without a one-day trophy, they have yet to crack limited-overs cricket in quite the same way.
IT'S OURS: Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale and coach Jason Gillespie celebrate with the County Championship trophy at Trent Bridge back in 2014. Pictures: SWpix.
Gillespie’s track record, however, speaks for itself (Yorkshire have lost only five of 76 Championship games since his arrival), and he has been linked with practically more international coaching positions than there are jobs vacant.
There are many observers –this correspondent included –who thought that he should have got the England job last year, an opinion that has not been altered by progress under Trevor Bayliss.
Gillespie has also been linked with international positions back home, where his great friend and former team-mate Darren Lehmann is in charge of the Australia side.
Gillespie already doubles up as coach of the Big Bash franchise Adelaide Strikers, and potential moves for him now could include international cricket/the Indian Premier League.
CHEERS, I'LL BE OFF THEN: Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie will leave the club after five years at the end of this season.
Although Yorkshire will be sad to see him go, it was a case of ‘when’, not ‘if’, Gillespie left.
The time would seem right for him not only from a family perspective, but also, one suspects, from a cricketing point of view.
Gillespie has probably taken Yorkshire as far as he can; their performances in the Championship this summer have actually tailed off a touch, although they have been more affected by injuries than in recent seasons, and they go into the final four matches just five points behind leaders Middlesex.
But it has not been the dominant campaign that many had hoped, although the end result is all that counts, and the players will be doubly determined to give Gillespie a successful send-off.
THRILLED: Jason Gillespie watches from the Lords balcony as the County Championship title is retained, despite the triumph being accompanied by defeat against hosts Middlesex.
Yorkshire’s magnificent pace attack is not getting any younger, and although there is no reason to suspect that the current side cannot aim to stretch their run of titles to at least four or five in a row, Yorkshire must soon face such unpalatable questions as: “Exactly how do you replace Ryan Sidebottom?”
Sport moves in cycles, and Gillespie has been part of a golden cycle at Yorkshire. He will leave with the thanks of the club’s supporters, who already respected him for what he achieved as a player.
As a key member of the great Australia side of the Nineties and Noughties, Gillespie took 402 international wickets. As a coach, it is noticeable that he never speaks about that success, or indeed seeks credit for Yorkshire’s recent triumphs.
He appreciates that it is players who win silverware first and foremost, and that support staff, in a nutshell, are exactly what that term would imply.
Gillespie’s coaching methods would seem quite simple: he does not over-complicate the game, but encourages his players to perform with freedom and to try to take the positive option.
He recognises the importance of making sure that the players believe that the coach believes in them, and his style is more arm-around-the-shoulder than ranter-and-raver.
Like all in sport, however, he hides a tough streak, although never quite to the extent that it masks a cheerful personality for too long.
At heart, he is a thoroughly decent chap: friendly, personable, and with time for all.
Even his infamous comments about the dairy industry, which he suggested earlier this summer should be closed down as it does not tie in with his vegan views, betrayed that decency and caring disposition, even if they were not shared by everyone – not least the Yorkshire sponsors, Wensleydale Cheese.
Yorkshire will not replace him easily, but a team of talented cricketers will cope.
Gillespie himself has seen to it, by helping to create a culture that will not be broken just because the time has come for him to say goodbye. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/video-chris-waters-time-is-right-for-jason-gillespie-to-bid-farewell-to-yorkshire-ccc-1-8094958 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/8970204b81b45e44c8089cd3dec46249357c1188db051d7ac528480830074d37.json |

Kevin Jenkins’ set, brilliantly compact, looks like it has always been a part of the Bistro. As lunch is served at your table, you are no longer only an audience member, but part of the action.
The plot revolves around Melanie (Louise Shuttleworth) who may experience a time shift, or she may be mentally unstable. Certainly the waiter (Leigh Symonds) is off-hand with her.
Enter Cora (Rachel Caffrey), incognito in best Hollywood cliché style - dark glasses and headscarf. She is meeting Freddy (Andy Cryer), her current squeeze. Melanie is astonished as, seated at her table, they begin to plot the murder of Cora’s husband. That’s enough about the plot. The rest of this review could easily concern itself with peeling back the layers of illusion and reality and still not reveal every subtlety.
However, as we have long ago come to expect, the fun in an Ayckbourn play is interleaved with some serious social comment. Failure to communicate, desperate personal lives and gradations of social class are all in the mix. Somehow, Hitchcock is there as well.
Great fun, and excellent value for money.
Consuming Passions runs until October 8 with some evening performances in the McCarthy.

Even though pigs require a fundamental way of being farmed, designs do vary a lot.
Austria is a beautiful country and they have quite an efficient way of farming and have some piggeries the likes of which I have never seen anywhere else.
Usually in UK, the inner walls are either insulated panels or plastic with the occasional brick or block walls plastered.
One piggery I saw there was clinical to say the least as all the pen walls and surrounding walls were ceramic tiles.
They looked nice and would be easy to clean but I guess would cost a fortune.
A tiled farrowing house.
Nevertheless it was nice to see them but I cannot make my mind up if they would look right here as perhaps they are not very practical as it only needs someone with a barrow to run into them or accidentally knock them and they could break.
What I don’t know is whether or not the walls they are on are insulated, as they could be quite cold.
I suppose most piggeries inside are fairly similar these days as systems have developed but there is still a huge difference in the piggeries themselves in shape and design.
Austria, like Switzerland, is a very clinical country with green hills, green pastures, and fertile valleys.
There are plenty of trees around which all adds to the general picture, so you get a sense of cleanliness everywhere.
Strange how things happen, the poor old pig producer has been losing money for the last 18 months at least and suddenly the price has shot up to around 140p per kilo deadweight as I write this.
Is this the effect of Brexit?
After all with the £ dropping in value, it means importers will have to pay more to obtain the sort of things they need, pig meat being one of them. Had the buyers here played ball and paid a fair price all the time, we would have had certainly enough pork produced here and possibly 60 per cent of bacon but they are always after a quick profit and hang the consequences.
It is difficult to build a relationship with these people as they only look at today,not tomorrow and beyond.
One thing is for sure and if Brexit means no support for agriculture, many farmers will go out of business and I wonder how much your food will cost you then?
If someone desperately needs something and there is no leeway available, then the seller can charge more or less what he likes.
When there is an abundance then the boot is on the other foot. The problem we have had here is that buyers have treated our industry as if the boot was on the other foot. Why do you think so many dairy farms have closed down? It is a bit of rum job when bottled water is more than double the price of milk.
Maybe farmers should look for other non-food enterprises on their holdings and let us all rely on imported food.
Pretend I did not say that!

“Clearly it’s taken longer than we would have liked to get back there, and I think it’s a great opportunity for us, given the team that we’ve got on paper, to go one step further and hopefully win the competition.
“With our England players available, we’ve got a very good team, but clearly it’s about what happens on the day.
“T20, in particular, is all about how you perform on the day, and there’s four good teams involved, each of which is capable of winning it.”
Yorkshire take on Durham in the second semi-final at 2.30pm. Notts and Northants meet in the first semi at 11am, with the final taking place at 6.45pm.
“Durham are a very good team,” said Moxon.
“They’ve got match-winners in the likes of Ben Stokes and Mark Wood.
“We’ve got to be at our very best and, if we are, we can certainly beat them and hopefully go all the way and win the thing.
“The T20 is something we haven’t won before, so it’s important to us, and it would be nice to get that monkey off our backs.”
That Yorkshire even have a chance of erasing the memory of 2012 is a minor miracle given that they were bottom of the North Group at the halfway stage.
Yorkshire won only one of their opening seven games before winning six of their last seven to reach the quarter-finals.
“T20 is all about finding a method and I think that we’ve found it,” said Moxon.
“It’s taken hard work and, to a certain extent, failure for us to find it, because clearly the things that we were doing at the start of the competition weren’t working.
“From a batting point of view, we’ve worked on the areas in which we’re trying to strike the ball. They’re much better areas now.
“We’d found ourselves getting into trouble by playing too square of the wicket, so, as a consequence, we are hitting the ball a lot straighter now.
“It’s probably taken too long to change and rectify, but that’s been the biggest thing as far as the batting is concerned.
“Bowling-wise, having the skills that are required, the change-ups, and having the ability to bowl the change-ups (different deliveries) that are needed at various times in the innings, we’ve got better at that as well.
“As for our fielding, I think that’s been outstanding generally.”
Moxon was particularly pleased with Yorkshire’s fielding when Glamorgan were clinically beaten by 90 runs in the quarter-final in Cardiff.
David Willey laid the platform with a swashbuckling 79, proving again why Yorkshire were so keen to sign him last winter to improve their white-ball cricket, and the bowlers did the rest in a fine team performance.
“We brought our A-game to the quarter-final,” said Moxon.
“We were outstanding in the field, as good as you can get, and the ruthless way we went about our business was superb.
“David Willey set the tone with the bat, and we signed him precisely because we wanted to improve our one-day form immediately.
“Long-term he can have an impact in red-ball cricket too, but he’s made a big difference to our T20 side.”
Another player who has made a big difference is Azeem Rafiq, the off-spinner who returned to the club in mid-season after almost two years out of the professional game.
It is no coincidence that Yorkshire’s T20 resurgence can be traced back to Rafiq’s arrival.
“It has been a team effort to get to Finals Day, but Rafiq has done exceptionally well and he’s a great competitor,” said Moxon.
“He creates a buzz in the field as well as bringing his bowling skill, and he’s been a big factor in our improvement.
“Bottom line is, we’ve worked really hard to try to find the right method in T20.
“There’s been a lot of frustrations along the way, a lot of disappointments, and hopefully the lads can get some silverware now to show for their hard work.”

JASON GILLESPIE’s departure as Yorkshire’s first-team coach, after five years in charge of the county champions, had been on the cards for some time.
Earlier this summer, Gillespie’s wife, Anna, and their four children moved back to Adelaide in Australia.

It would be a strange marriage that could survive for several months apart on opposite sides of the world, although, on second thoughts, some couples would probably relish that thought.
Flippancy aside, Yorkshire had hoped to get at least one more year out of Gillespie, whose future had been the subject of regular speculation since he took the job in 2011.
Since then, the former Australia fast bowler has helped the club to one County Championship promotion and to back-to-back Championship titles, with the prospect of a hat-trick to follow next month.
Under Gillespie, Yorkshire have also twice reached NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day and successive Royal London Cup semi-finals, although, after 14 years without a one-day trophy, they have yet to crack limited-overs cricket in quite the same way.

Gillespie’s track record, however, speaks for itself (Yorkshire have lost only five of 76 Championship games since his arrival), and he has been linked with practically more international coaching positions than there are jobs vacant.
There are many observers –this correspondent included –who thought that he should have got the England job last year, an opinion that has not been altered by progress under Trevor Bayliss.
Gillespie has also been linked with international positions back home, where his great friend and former team-mate Darren Lehmann is in charge of the Australia side.
Gillespie already doubles up as coach of the Big Bash franchise Adelaide Strikers, and potential moves for him now could include international cricket/the Indian Premier League.
CHEERS, I'LL BE OFF THEN: Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie will leave the club after five years at the end of this season.
Although Yorkshire will be sad to see him go, it was a case of ‘when’, not ‘if’, Gillespie left.
The time would seem right for him not only from a family perspective, but also, one suspects, from a cricketing point of view.
Gillespie has probably taken Yorkshire as far as he can; their performances in the Championship this summer have actually tailed off a touch, although they have been more affected by injuries than in recent seasons, and they go into the final four matches just five points behind leaders Middlesex.
But it has not been the dominant campaign that many had hoped, although the end result is all that counts, and the players will be doubly determined to give Gillespie a successful send-off.
THRILLED: Jason Gillespie watches from the Lords balcony as the County Championship title is retained, despite the triumph being accompanied by defeat against hosts Middlesex.
Yorkshire’s magnificent pace attack is not getting any younger, and although there is no reason to suspect that the current side cannot aim to stretch their run of titles to at least four or five in a row, Yorkshire must soon face such unpalatable questions as: “Exactly how do you replace Ryan Sidebottom?”
Sport moves in cycles, and Gillespie has been part of a golden cycle at Yorkshire. He will leave with the thanks of the club’s supporters, who already respected him for what he achieved as a player.
As a key member of the great Australia side of the Nineties and Noughties, Gillespie took 402 international wickets. As a coach, it is noticeable that he never speaks about that success, or indeed seeks credit for Yorkshire’s recent triumphs.
He appreciates that it is players who win silverware first and foremost, and that support staff, in a nutshell, are exactly what that term would imply.
Gillespie’s coaching methods would seem quite simple: he does not over-complicate the game, but encourages his players to perform with freedom and to try to take the positive option.
He recognises the importance of making sure that the players believe that the coach believes in them, and his style is more arm-around-the-shoulder than ranter-and-raver.
Like all in sport, however, he hides a tough streak, although never quite to the extent that it masks a cheerful personality for too long.
At heart, he is a thoroughly decent chap: friendly, personable, and with time for all.
Even his infamous comments about the dairy industry, which he suggested earlier this summer should be closed down as it does not tie in with his vegan views, betrayed that decency and caring disposition, even if they were not shared by everyone – not least the Yorkshire sponsors, Wensleydale Cheese.
Yorkshire will not replace him easily, but a team of talented cricketers will cope.
Gillespie himself has seen to it, by helping to create a culture that will not be broken just because the time has come for him to say goodbye. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/chris-waters-time-is-right-for-jason-gillespie-to-bid-farewell-to-yorkshire-ccc-1-8094958 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/cf287ee3a8e3a1eb2c951478aff5c19738c86eb28767bd90c3ca0d4e3e524208.json |

However, it is not entirely unexpected, with Gillespie’s wife and four children having recently returned to Australia, and with his future having been a regular source of speculation.
Martyn Moxon will not begin the search for a new head coach until the end of the current season Yorkshire CCC statement
Gillespie has been linked with a number of international coaching jobs during his five seasons in charge, and he already doubles up as coach of the Big Bash franchise Adelaide Strikers.
Yorkshire had hoped that he would stay for at least another year, but after the club lost to Surrey in the Royal London Cup semi-final yesterday, Gillespie communicated his decision to the Yorkshire board.
Yorkshire say they will start the search for a new head coach at the end of the season, who will work under director of cricket Martyn Moxon.
In a statement issued today, the club said: “Yorkshire County Cricket Club can confirm that Jason Gillespie will leave his position as head coach at the end of the 2016 season.

“The club would like to place on record its thanks to Jason, who led Yorkshire from the Second Division to consecutive Championship titles, along the way suffering just five defeats in 76 Championship fixtures since his appointment in November 2011.
“His wife Anna and their four children have recently returned to Australia and, with the 41-year-old’s existing commitments to coaching the Adelaide Strikers in Australia’s Big Bash, Jason feels the close season is an appropriate time to part company.
“Martyn Moxon will not begin the search for a new head coach until the end of the current season, and the club will provide further updates when the time is appropriate.”
Gillespie has the chance to go out on a high, with the club well-placed to secure a hat-trick of Championships.

In a statement on Sunday, the England and Wales Cricket Board said that an X-ray to Willey’s left hand, his bowling hand, had “not excluded a significant injury”, casting doubt on his participation for the rest of the season considering that the summer has only a month or so to run.
But a second scan yesterday revealed that there is no fracture to the hand that Willey injured when he was struck by a fierce return drive from Mark Stoneman, the Durham batsman, during NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day at Edgbaston on Saturday.
It is now being suggested that Willey could even feature in the second one-day international at Lord’s on Saturday, with the five-match series starting in Southampton tomorrow.
Jake Ball, the Nottinghamshire seamer who was called up to replace Willey, will stay with the national squad and therefore be unavailable for the County Championship game against Yorkshire at Scarborough, which starts this morning.
Stuart Broad, the England pace bowler, has also been withdrawn from Notts’ squad for the fixture at North Marine Road pending a scan on his left ankle.
Both second-placed Yorkshire and bottom club Notts are depleted due to injuries and international calls as they each look to bounce back from losing in the T20 semi-finals.
Alex Lees, the Yorkshire one-day captain, said that there was no time to dwell on that setback as the county champions seek a win that would significantly strengthen their hopes of a hat-trick of titles.
“We don’t have time to feel sorry for ourselves because there’s some big games coming up in the next five or six weeks, starting with Notts,” said Lees.
“It’s a massive game against a team who have struggled for form this year, and if we can play our brand of cricket, I’m sure that we’ll put pressure on them over the four days.”
Lees said Yorkshire are relishing the chance to get Saturday’s disappointment out of their system.
“The opportunity to get back up and running in a different competition with a win, and so soon after the disappointment of Saturday, is a great incentive,” he said. “We need to show the character that this group has become renowned for in recent years.” | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/second-scan-clears-willey-for-action-as-yorkshire-get-ready-for-notts-1-8083100 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/92d0389dd0c1ceabf8d06598dc9410d109a987f02c18d917f4bcfa18b8af0269.json |

The new station, on Spa Promenade, will replace the charity’s current station on South Marine Drive which is too small and outdated for the RNLI’s needs.
Work to realign the sea wall and increase the width of Princess Mary Promenade has been completed and phase two of the project has begun.
The new two-storey building will offer the extra space required to house Bridlington’s new state-of-the-art Shannon class lifeboat and launch vehicle.
Chris Brompton, Bridlington RNLI’s station mechanic, said: “Our volunteer crew is very excited that the building work has started and that our fantastic new station is gradually becoming a reality.
“Crucially, the building’s location, adjacent to the beach, will mean that the lifeboat will no longer need to be taken along the main road to reach the sea but will have quicker and more direct access to the water.”
The Art Deco style building will have extra space meaning the charity’s inshore and all-weather lifeboats can be housed in the same building, as currently the inshore lifeboat is stored separately on Princess Mary Promenade.
Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “It is pleasing to see that work on the second phase of this exciting new project has started. When complete, the building will be in keeping with neighbouring buildings, including The Spa Bridlington, and will also be home to the RNLI’s new state-of-the-art lifeboat that will help them with their operations off the coast.”

Down by the Markes, by Mike Gough, took the now 75-year-old first-time author the best part of 10 years to complete.
And it takes a lot to make a lengthy account of someone’s career in the Merchant Navy an accessible read.
But Mike’s engaging writing style and captivating prose means Down by the Markes is nothing short of a success.
“One of the things that I missed most was fresh milk.
“It those days, it was one of the greatest treats”, said Mike.
And why wouldn’t it be? Being confined to a ship for months on end, with nothing to supplement fresh milk other than the condensed variety, would take its toll on anyone.
Mike’s story is a vivid and relatable voyage around the world, and is, at times, incredibly personal and detailed.
He added: “If it’s going to be read by people who used to be in the Merchant Navy, you’ve got to use the right language, or they will tear you apart if you don’t use the right terms.”
In this age of health and safety, it can be easy to overlook the hardship and danger endured by thousands of Merchant Navy sailors – not least those of the Burie Markes company.
While Mike’s account of his time as a sailor is, overall, an optimistic one, Down by the Markes is not without its misery and heartache.
From bright-eyed and bushy-tailed beginnings starting out as an apprentice, Mike’s tale takes the reader on the adventure of a lifetime.
And even if a large portion of that lifetime was taken up by polishing the brass and swabbing the decks, Mike’s account of life on the oceans is still packed with fun and heaps of laughs.
The author is now busying himself writing his next book, for which he has already completed three chapters. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/local/brid-author-s-tales-of-the-high-seas-1-8086325 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/6ce27a1cdafe059219337a54d4850f3e8dd9ed84a1df2c60b21a0b803d4fd59f.json |

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.

The Pikes were dismissed for 125, stalwart Les Welburn top-scoring with a defiant 41, and Shaun Smith adding 31.
Matt Watson took 5-27 and Elliott Cooper 3-14 as the spinners cast their spell over the visitors.
Kieron Boyes took 3-13 to give the North Marine Road club a few worries but David Snowball's 49 paved the way for the home win and an unbeaten 47 from Neil Elvidge wrapped up the success for Scarborough, who now need to win their last three games of the season and hope the sides above, Carlton Towers and York 3rds, slip up.
William Spencer hit an unbeaten 64, and Danny Foxton 33 as Malton & Old Malton 2nds (166-5) successfully chased down the 163-9 posted by hosts Acomb 2nds.
Driffield Town 2nds' victory at Bolton Percy meant the hosts’ drop into the Premier Division relegation places with just three rounds of the league matches remaining.
Grant Halder (71) was the visitors’ top scorer and 30 each from Jordan Caley and Nicky Johnson helped their side to a total of 216-8.
Tom Atkinson replied with 69 and Jamie Rigby 46 as the hosts were all out 39 runs short of their target Johnny Anderson finishing with 6-56.
Matthew Wilkinson (7-21) produced the best bowling performance of the day as Hull Zingari dismissed local rivals Goole Town for 72 which included an unbeaten 27 from Neil Foster.
The hosts lost three wickets in reply but 36 from Jack Storey was enough to ensure his side climbed out of the bottom two.
York’s six-match unbeaten run ended in spectacular fashion as they were bowled out for just 98 at Pickering, Michael Brown (6-54) and Dan Ward (3-27) doing most of the damage.
The hosts didn’t have everything their own way however as they were made to work hard taking more than 40 overs to reach their target with eight wickets down Ted Patmore (4-25) and Nick Kay (3-24) almost pulling off what would have been a remarkable victory.
Heworth’s relegation was confirmed as they lost by five wickets at home to Beverley Town.
Ian Lynch (58) and Steve Baxter (65) each scored half-centuries as their side recovered from 99-5 to eventually reach 236-9 with Matthew Mudd (3-48) and Sam Welburn (3-42) sharing six wickets.
The hosts reduced their opponents to 11-2 in reply before a partnership of 186 between Olly Grantham (122no) and Anthony Spence (81) all but sealed their fate.
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.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/york-league-scarborough-beat-pikes-to-boost-promotion-hopes-1-8080554 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/a0ba1fa36eed7727896551ded7c2d923a2c4386e7ad0dcc367362bff1234b30c.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.

Did you notice the number of athletes who asserted that they owed it all to their country?
Of course, they achieved so highly for their own satisfaction, and for their families too, but many were clear: pride in Britain was a part of the motivation.
Oscar Wilde described patriotism as “The last refuge of the scoundrel”, however, something has clearly changed. The patriotism shown in the interviews following a medal success was somehow healthy. It was a patriotism that celebrated success, not a gloating that others had failed, or an assertion that sporting success made us somehow superior to other nations.
The jingoism associated with patriotism has gone.
The reason I think the new patriotism is ‘healthy’ is that these athletes were not saying ‘my country right or wrong’, but expressing gratitude for the support that the nation had given them. After all, in crude terms, each gold medal cost us in the region of £5 million, but of course that is to discount the totality of the return on National Lottery money that investment in young people can bring.
For those with short memories, and those who think we have become too medal obsessed, I invite you to view the table for the Atlanta Games of 1996. Great Britain won one gold and was 36th in the table. Would anyone like to go back to that state of affairs?
Another lesson of the Olympic success was the clear benefit of effective organisation. Again, many medal winners acknowledged the contribution of the coaches and doctors supporting them.
There is, or was, something un-British about this. Once, success was something gained by the right class of person who had good breeding. British success was the result of improvisation, pluck and individual brilliance. We left it to foreigners to be organised.
Then we were confronted with the gold medal machine of ‘systems’, in particular the US college system.
We now have very efficient ‘systems’ of our own and it has taken us high in the medals table.
The whole country can learn from this. Perhaps we should appoint performance directors, similar to those in elite sport, to other walks of life.
If we have suddenly acquired the knack of getting organised, it may, in the startling words of one of our successful rowers, be ‘beyond worth it’.

A Royal London Cup semi-final looms on the horizon but, for now, Yorkshire’s attention returns to the Specsavers County Championship.
England's Stuart Broad is absent from the Notts line up Picture: Adam Davy/PA.
They are second in Division One, 26 points behind Middlesex with a game in hand.
And this week’s match against Nottinghamshire at Scarborough represents that game in hand.
It comes against a side who are bottom of the league and staring down the barrel of relegation.
Mathematically, it is not a must-win fixture, for there are still four to play after this match.
But it presents an obvious opportunity for Yorkshire to close the gap on Middlesex, and to close it to just two points if they can claim the maximum 24.
Yorkshire travel to second-bottom Hampshire next week and host third-bottom Durham the following week, before ending their campaign at home to Somerset and away to Middlesex.
A hat-trick of titles is still in their hands, but you sense that they need to seize the present moment.
It will not be easy.
Not only is the weather unpredictable at this time of year, rendering victories already gained like gold dust, but sides such as Notts are scrapping for points for different reasons – namely, their First Division survival.
Trent Bridge is arguably the finest ground in the country – at least outside of Lord’s, and with all due respect to Scarborough –but it faces the unpalatable prospect of Second Division cricket.
It will be extremely tough for Notts to beat a strong Yorkshire team at Scarborough, a ground where Notts have won only once in 12 matches, indeed, but that does not mean that they will be pushovers in what has been a tight division.
Yorkshire have a good recent record in the Championship at North Marine Road, but they lost on their last outing there in early July – an innings defeat to Middlesex that they hope will not have the same look in retrospect that Durham’s win there did in 2013, when it provided the impetus for the visitors to go on and pip Jason Gillespie’s team to the title.
Yorkshire, on paper, should be too strong for Notts, and yet the visitors possess some talented players.
Stuart Broad, the England pace bowler, is out with an ankle injury, and there is no Jake Ball or Alex Hales, who are on one-day international duty along with Yorkshire’s Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid.
But Notts have plenty of seasoned campaigners – not least the evergreen Chris Read and Samit Patel.
First-team coach Gillespie is certainly not taking Notts for granted as his side go in search of their fourth win of the Championship campaign.
“It’s going to be a massive challenge,” said Gillespie.
“Notts are a very good side, and although they haven’t played the cricket they’d like in the Championship, they’re an incredibly dangerous team and they’ve got some real match-winners.
“We need to play at our best if we’re going to compete with them, and we’ve got to make sure that we tick all the boxes.
“We’ve got a good record at Scarborough in recent times, and hopefully we can build on that this week.”
A week of inactivity for Middlesex would be as good a week as any for the champions to strike, with the leaders battling problems of their own.
With pace bowler Steven Finn currently out with a hamstring injury, Middlesex have been dealt another blow with the news that former Notts batsman Adam Voges will not be returning to captain them for their last four games, with Cricket Australia wanting him to rest his own hamstring problem.
Middlesex return to action next week when they travel to Warwickshire before visiting Notts the following week.
They continue their programme away to Lancashire before the potentially key fixture with Yorkshire in late September.
Notts, who are 14 points adrift at the bottom, really need something from this week’s fixture.
Mick Newell, their coach, is considering changes to his batting line-up, with Root’s brother, Billy, among those who could come into the team along with fellow batsman Tom Moores, the 19-year-old son of former England coach Peter Moores.
Whoever he selects, Newell is conscious of the need for immediate improvement.
“We’re in a mess in the Championship,” he admitted.
“We’ve got to try and get out of the bottom two.
“This is a really big game, and I’m not sure where the pressure sits because they’re trying to get to the top and we’re obviously trying to get off the bottom.
“We’ve got to find a way of winning games.” | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/yorkshire-v-nottinghamshire-yorkshire-lookint-to-seize-the-moment-in-championship-title-bid-1-8083109 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/f7264e0d9d76a1a7a9115d69a908f9fdd2298fe1074c597b41aba54f7fbc8560.json |

That’s according to fitness trainer Jason Diprose, who said the creation of new gyms in Bridlington, as well as the completion of town’s new leisure centre has encouraged people to take up healthier lifestyles.
He said: “I think Bridlington is a great place for fitness at the moment.
“The town has a lot of facilities – each offering something completely unique.”
Mr Diprose, of One Gym, on Bessingby Industrial Estate, believes events like the 2012 Olympics and the Tour De Yorkshire have inspired people to take up sport and fitness.
He added: “I think the budget gym model is a big movement, and has made fitness accessible for everyone.
“That connected with the Olympics. I have never seen so many people on the road, running and riding bikes.”
Jason’s mission to inspire others to take on healthy lifestyles stems from his own personal struggle with obesity.
At his worst, Jason weighed a dangerously unhealthy 21 stone.
He says his unhealthy lifestyle cost him his teenage years and turning him into a recluse.
But over 10 months, Jason shed 10 stone, and devoted his life to fitness and became a personal trainer.
He said he couldn’t be happier seeing more and more people in Bridlington begin to take fitness seriously.
“A lot has to be said for every single fitness facility, they are all doing a fantastic job.
“People might go to the new leisure centre because they want to go swimming or use the sauna.
“Or they might come to our facility because they want to concentrate on general fitness improvements.
“I lost 10 stone in 10 months. But I would not recommend it to anyone!”

Well, this show has class and style in spades – it’s one of the best shows to be produced as part of the repertory in the Round in years.
The cast – all with West End pedigree – are Nigel Richards, Shona White, Laura Jane Matthewson, Ashley Samuels and Phoebe Fildes. All can ‘act’ a song as well as sing it.
The show is a revue of songs from Kander and Ebb musicals including the big hitters Cabaret, Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman and New York, New York plus the lesser known The Rink, 70, Girls,70, The Happy Time, Zorba, Flora, The Red Menace, Funny Lady and Woman of the Year.
The cast perform either singularly in duets, trios or all together – each given their moments in the spotlight.
The pace is quick – there’s no narrative arc just number after number – but the mood swings from melancholy to mirth in minutes .
The opening number is slowly paced And the World Goes Round – it is sung again later on – followed by the jittery, jolly Coffee in a Cardboard Cup.
Then there’s the fun of Sara Lee, The Rink - performed on skates – the sexy Arthur in the Afternoon, the sleazy Class and joyous Ring Them Bells.
All that Jazz gets the treatment from Shona White and every tear is wrung from the heartbreaker Maybe This Time by Laura Jane Matthewson.
Nigel Richards is outstanding – and shines in Mr Cellophane and I Don’t Remember You.
Of course, Cabaret is in the mix but is given a different jazzier arrangement – and the curtain comes down with the crowd pleaser New York, New York.
Get your tickets before word gets round – and it will – and this becomes a sell out.
The World Goes Round is at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, in rep, until September 3.

The Sherlocks, singer songwriter Kiaran Crook, 20, brother and drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
But this is the biggest showcase weekend for the Bolton Upon Dearne indie quartet who have over 700 gigs to their name and have also just completed their first UK headline tour, selling out venues around the country, with their latest single Last Night getting lots of Radio 1 airplay.
Last year Kiaran, Brandon, Josh and Andy drew a huge number of fans before Sunday lunchtime at Reading, but a coveted evening slot on this year’s popular Festival Republic stage meant the crowds in the south were even bigger.
On a scorching summer evening the temperature in Berkshire was almost as high as the anticipation for the band of brothers’ 30 minute seven song set.
At exactly 5.45pm the lads, playing it cool as always, bounded on stage to kick off with single Last Night followed by favourites Escapade and Heart of Gold.
They continued with epic new song Candle Light, Live for the Moment and finished with Chasing Shadows as two giant beach balls flew back and forth across the arena.
Will You Be There?, which had one of its first plays at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, was another soaring highlight.

Almost all the sides to the huge festival tent were drawn back meaning the Sherlocks’ sound carried beyond the tent poles. More and more joined the audience as the gig went on and by the end of the set the place was rammed.
“That was astonishing” frontman Kiaran told us as he came off stage.
“Last year was truly memorable, but this year Reading has taken it to another level. We’re seeing crowd reactions we'd only ever seen in the north before.
“We love it down here and now we're buzzing even more for Leeds.”

David Willey pinned James Tredwell lbw for 17 with the fifth ball of the 48th over to complete a game which had ebbed and flowed to the delight of a near-capacity crowd of almost 6,000.
Adam Lyth top-scored with 88 from 96 balls, hitting a six and eight fours, as Yorkshire reached 256 for 9 from their 50 overs after being asked to bat.
Matt Coles took 3 for 39 from his ten overs for Kent and Charlie Hartley, a 22-year-old seamer playing in only his third List A game, dismissed both Joe Root, for 45, and Jonny Bairstow in his ten-over stint of 2 for 42.
Hartley, coming in at No 10, then almost took Kent home, scoring 15 in a nail-biting ninth wicket stand of 29 in 6.2 overs with Tredwell before being lbw to Adil Rashid’s googly to the last ball of the 47th over as Kent eventually could make just 245 in reply.
Kent initially slipped to 66 for 4 with Daniel Bell-Drummond, Sam Northeast and Sam Billings all out cheaply, but Darren Stevens and Alex Blake revived them with a fifth wicket stand of 86 in 13 overs.

Blake made 50 and Stevens 54 and, when they fell to Willey and Liam Plunkett respectively, it was left to Kent’s lower order to try to get them over the line. Despite their best efforts, they could not quite do it, with Plunkett finishing with 4 for 52 and Rashid bowling some crucial overs at the death.
Blake played brilliantly for 50 from 38 balls, hitting off spinner Azeem Rafiq on to the roof of the Underwood and Knott Stand for six and also including seven fours in a counter-attacking knock that shook Yorkshire’s international-class bowling attack.
Willey, however, cleverly decided to test the 27-year-old with a succession of short balls, one of which hit Blake a nasty blow on the chin, and won the duel when the left-hander flapped at another bouncer and edged through to the keeper.
Stevens, in his benefit year, also batted with great spirit in his 500th match for Kent in all formats – and 742nd in senior cricket overall – but the home challenge faded when he fell to a magnificent one-handed caught-and-bowled by Plunkett, flinging himself to his left.

Will Gidman managed 19, uppercutting Plunkett for six, before giving the same bowler another return catch and Coles, who briefly raised Kent hopes again with a four and two sixes smeared over the legside ropes off Rafiq, was stumped by Bairstow off Adil Rashid’s googly for a quickfire 22.
Willey had earlier pinned Bell-Drummond leg-before for 2 with the last ball of the second over, an inswinging yorker that hit the batsman on the boot, and Kent lost two more top order wickets in successive overs when Northeast chipped Plunkett to short mid wicket on 23 and Billings was beaten by a Steven Patterson off-cutter and lbw for one to his fourth ball.
At least Northeast had helped Joe Denly to add 50 in 9.4 overs for the second wicket, swinging Tim Bresnan’s medium pace into the adjoining building site for six in the process, while Denly drove Patterson for a maximum over long on and had also hit four fours in a 45-ball 31 when he top-edged an attempted swivel-pull at Plunkett and skied to mid on.
Lyth sprang from the traps in the early overs, thumping Mitch Claydon through the covers for four and then hammering a length ball straight for six. Alex Lees, his opening partner, also lofted Claydon for four but, from the next ball, he pulled to deep square leg to depart for 7 and leave Yorkshire 27 for 1 after five overs.
Root then joined Lyth in a stand of 90 in 18 overs that oozed quality, but just when it seemed the England No 3 was moving up the gears he was gone, for 45 from 55 balls with only three fours, brilliantly held on the deep mid wicket ropes by Blake who sprinted to his left and leapt to hold a flat pull and give Hartley the first success of a day to remember.
Bairstow, after one sublime push-drive for four wide of mid on off Hartley, then fell for 7 as he mis-hit to Bell-Drummond at a deepish mid on to give the young seamer his second high-profile scalp.
redwell bowled a typically steady ten-over stint of off spin, though without success, and the return of Coles for the 34th over brought immediate reward when left-hander Lyth was beaten by a fine ball angled across him down the slope which he thin-edged to keeper Billings.
Bresnan and Willey were then removed in the same over, the 39th, by Will Gidman as Kent – who had bowled with discipline and fielded like tigers – began to sense Yorkshire’s unease and turn the screw.
Bresnan, having laboured to 10, scooped tamely to short extra cover and Willey flicked at a legside delivery and was smartly caught by Billings, moving to his right.
Hartley returned to finish his 10-over allocation, almost having Plunkett caught and bowled and then hitting the England one-day international on the grille of his helmet as he tried to pull a short ball that stuck in the pitch. Gidman, meanwhile, beat Ballance with successive deliveries that seamed away from him.
It was no surprise when Plunkett, who could not get going, skied Coles to Northeast at extra cover for 16 from 21 balls, leaving Ballance and Rashid to collect what runs they could from the closing overs.
Ballance, having struggled to 37 from 55 balls, was run out when Rashid turned down a third run and he could not get back to the bowler’s end and Coles pegged back Rafiq’s off stump for 1 to take his competition wicket tally to 24 at 17.41 runs apiece.
A straight four and pulled six by Rashid off Claydon in the final over took Yorkshire beyond 250 but they had looked certain to total nearer 300 when Lyth and Root were together. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/yorkshire-survive-kent-scare-to-set-up-royal-london-semi-final-date-with-surrey-1-8077413 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/ece93076f8267241300d8bc5c1559cb64feccef7f7c892b12de01b10f1dd482c.json |

Did you notice the number of athletes who asserted that they owed it all to their country?
Of course, they achieved so highly for their own satisfaction, and for their families too, but many were clear: pride in Britain was a part of the motivation.
Oscar Wilde described patriotism as “The last refuge of the scoundrel”, however, something has clearly changed. The patriotism shown in the interviews following a medal success was somehow healthy. It was a patriotism that celebrated success, not a gloating that others had failed, or an assertion that sporting success made us somehow superior to other nations.
The jingoism associated with patriotism has gone.
The reason I think the new patriotism is ‘healthy’ is that these athletes were not saying ‘my country right or wrong’, but expressing gratitude for the support that the nation had given them. After all, in crude terms, each gold medal cost us in the region of £5 million, but of course that is to discount the totality of the return on National Lottery money that investment in young people can bring.
For those with short memories, and those who think we have become too medal obsessed, I invite you to view the table for the Atlanta Games of 1996. Great Britain won one gold and was 36th in the table. Would anyone like to go back to that state of affairs?
Another lesson of the Olympic success was the clear benefit of effective organisation. Again, many medal winners acknowledged the contribution of the coaches and doctors supporting them.
There is, or was, something un-British about this. Once, success was something gained by the right class of person who had good breeding. British success was the result of improvisation, pluck and individual brilliance. We left it to foreigners to be organised.
Then we were confronted with the gold medal machine of ‘systems’, in particular the US college system.
We now have very efficient ‘systems’ of our own and it has taken us high in the medals table.
The whole country can learn from this. Perhaps we should appoint performance directors, similar to those in elite sport, to other walks of life.
If we have suddenly acquired the knack of getting organised, it may, in the startling words of one of our successful rowers, be ‘beyond worth it’.

A driver was left "speechless" as a dog walker pulled out onto a main road while driving a mobility scooter.
Footage shows the brazen pet owner waiting at the junction of Pinfold Lane before pulling out onto busy Martongate.
The driver of the mobility scooter was recorded pulling out onto Martongate as their dog walked alongside
An oncoming is seen having to apply its brakes before the scooter veers off down Pinfold Street.
The driver who filmed the bizarre spectacle today (Monday August 29), said: "I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. You look at it and you can see it's a poor old dog.
"It's fair enough she was in the line of traffic and indicating, but to drag a dog along and across a busy road, there's just no need for it.
"If the dog was left behind it could have been bit by traffic.
The driver pulls out intro traffic
"It's just so irresponsible. She must have broken the law, even if it's just a moral law."
It comes after Bridlington North Ward councillor Thelma Milns called for stricter rules on mobility scooters in the town.
She said: "We have an aging population and some, not all, need scooters to get around.
"They have no awareness of other pavement users and I feel that a speed limit of 4mph should be put in place in the town centre.
A van slows for the scooter driver
"I have had reports of people with children getting nearly knocked over.
"Someone got a broken ankle from being hit by a mobility scooter. I believe that people need better training when purchasing a mobility scooter and remind that from 36-46 of the Highway Code do apply to them."

Gareth Owen fractured his ankle in the 2-2 draw at Hemsworth Miners Welfare on Tuesday and faces several weeks on the sidelines.
The Seasiders let slip a two-goal lead in the final six minutes but Gary Allanson is backing his side to bounce back.
The manager said: “We have to pick ourselves up and go again for Saturday in the FA Cup.
“We are still unbeaten in first three games so we will take that, it’s a long season ahead and we are already picking injuries up.
“We have Tim Taylor, Ash Allanson, Andy Norfolk, Danny Chambers and Will Waudby all injured now and Alex Knaggs and Chris Jenkinson are still away so need to try and get two or three of these fit and ready for Saturday.”
The Seasiders won a replay at Silsden to negotiate the previous round, while Guisborough were 5-2 victors at NCEL side Liversedge.
The Northern League side won their opening Division One game 4-2 at Sunderland RCA at the weekend, having finished third last season and will be favourites for Saturday’s tie.
If a replay is needed, it will be on Tuesday evening at Queensgate. If not, Town will be in league action that night, at home to Clipstone.
Bridlington’s involvement in the cup means Saturday’s scheduled league game at home to Retford United has been moved to Tuesday, October 4.
Town’s trip to promoted Bottesford Town, which was cancelled earlier in the month because of the Silsden replay, has been rearranged for Wednesday, August 31. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/five-battling-to-be-fit-for-town-s-fa-cup-clash-1-8073803 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/1650937a6e50756dbf94e3cd5619e72250d2f047131e7eda783d9086dc7a119b.json |

Such concerns must have crossed the minds of the Yorkshire crowd yesterday when the hosts were busy ripping through the Notts’ batting line-up with the ease of piranhas devouring their victims.
But after dismissing Notts for 94 on the stroke of lunch, after they had started day two on 38-2 in reply to their own first-innings 282, Yorkshire chose not to enforce the follow-on despite a lead of 188, thereby ensuring that the game could not be over inside two days, which had seemed eminently plausible.
As owners of local guest houses and hostelries no doubt turned cartwheels of joy, so too did those Yorkshire members who adore it at North Marine Road, with 84 per cent of them having voted in a recent survey conducted by the club to retain two Championship games there from next season.
With Yorkshire having to take one match away from Headingley or Scarborough due to changes to the fixture list, it can be taken as read that the decision will come down in the seaside town’s favour, but that is not to say that many of those Scarborough devotees were not a little baffled as to why Yorkshire – their bowlers fresh and their opponents fragile – opted to increase their lead in glorious sunshine.
It is the modern way, of course, not to enforce, and it is unlikely to make a jot of difference to the result, with Yorkshire set to close the gap to five points on leaders Middlesex with a win here, and Notts looking every inch like relegation material.
Yorkshire followed up with 200-4 in 61 overs in their second innings, Gary Ballance, the captain, scoring an unbeaten 75 to stretch the lead to a lofty 388.
Even with dodgy weather forecast today, Yorkshire’s fourth Championship victory of the season would seem as much of a formality as high and low tide.
Regardless of the question as to whether to enforce, that Yorkshire were even in a position to do so was tribute to a rousing recovery from 51-6 on day one.
Magnificent contributions from Andrew Hodd, Azeem Rafiq and Jack Brooks were mainly responsible for a revival completed by Yorkshire’s four-pronged pace attack of Brooks, Ryan Sidebottom, Tim Bresnan and Steve Patterson, who needed just 25.5 overs on the second morning to winkle out the last eight wickets.
The tone was set – as it so often is – by the venerable Sidebottom, who belied his 38 years with a splendid exhibition of swing bowling from the Peasholm Park end to take 3-5 in 12 balls and reduce Notts to 52-5.
Michael Lumb, the former Yorkshire batsman, was drawn forward and caught behind by one that shaped away; Steven Mullaney was lbw playing across the line; and Samit Patel was caught upper-cutting high to Bresnan at first slip.
Sidebottom would have had a fourth wicket with the score on 59 but Bresnan dropped a low chance at first slip, with Brendan Taylor not then off the mark.
But it was only a temporary setback for a Yorkshire side who made equally light work of the mid-to-lower order.
Chris Read miscued an attempted pull off Brooks to cover; Brett Hutton edged Brooks low to Adam Lyth at second slip; Taylor’s luck finally ran out when he played on an attempted drive off Patterson; Luke Wood flashed in foolhardy fashion at Bresnan and was caught behind, and an innings caked in collective embarrassment ended when Luke Fletcher helped Bresnan to Jack Leaning at third slip.
That Yorkshire would bat again was betrayed by the sight of openers Lyth and Alex Lees sprinting off the ground to strap on their pads, and they safely negotiated the one over that remained before lunch.
After the break, the cricket grew steadily soporific as the 5,000 crowd watched Yorkshire increase their lead in the way of builders systematically adding bricks to a house.
Lees added 30 bricks before he was lbw to Hutton, ending a first-wicket stand of 72, and Lyth followed shortly after for 41, caught and bowled by Wood off a leading edge.
Lehmann and Ballance added 61 in 22 overs before Lehmann slogged Samit Patel straight up in the air to Wood at mid-on.
Ballance, dropped on 20 when he pulled Fletcher to a diving Tom Moores at mid-wicket, advanced to a 113-ball half-century that included eight fours, and Leaning helped him add 57 before being stumped.
Play was halted seven overs early due to bad light with swooping seagulls ready to reclaim the outfield once the cricketers had left for the evening. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/yorkshire-v-notts-seaside-air-leaves-gary-ballance-in-mood-to-play-on-1-8086935 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/4e359a196828cdd6ba18807c12e943925f7eed725973012e9ba52d4277b68a0b.json |

A rocking line-up of world-class look and sound-a-likes will be headlined by Bon Jovi Experience, Coldplace and New2.
South Yorkshire's latest young indie blues band Sundance, who play a mix of their own material and crowd pleasing covers by the likes of Oasis and Arctic Monkeys, are one of five local support acts along with Nick Aslam's Rebel City Revival.
Promising to be the hottest ticket in town, festival-goers will have the opportunity to enjoy a full day and night of live music at the stadium inside a huge big top style marquee - which means it goes ahead whatever the weather,
There will be a variety of food and entertainment stalls in true festival style. Parking is available, but there is no camping at the festival site.
Fake Festival, which is celebrating its tenth year, features professional ‘touring-grade’ tribute bands that look, sound and move like the real rock-stars.
Home grown support bands include Barnsley four-piece Sundance, who recently took Tramlines by storm after featuring on BBC Music Day. They are Harry Walker (vocals/lead guitar), Kyle Grattan (drums), Owen Keane (rhythm guitar) and Jamie Darbyshire (bass).
The band's riffs and swagger belie their young years and they harbour a not-so-quiet confidence that's sure to take them places. Check out and like their Facebook page facebook.com/sundancemusicuk, follow on Twitter @sundancemusicuk and visit their YouTube page - CLICK HERE
Nick Aslam's Rebel City Revival, whose inspirations range from Kiss, David Bowie and Oasis, will perform original music including their debut single Night Train - see www.nickaslam.com, his Facebook page www.facebook.com/NickAslam or follow on Twitter @NikAslam
Doncaster Fake Festival provides a friendly environment that caters for all ages, says Mark Hughesman, of Doncaster Rovers FC, who are hosting the event.
He said: “This year celebrates 10 years of Fake Festivals. It promises to be a fabulous day of live music and we can’t wait to start the party.
"Bring your friends and family, young and old, and catch up with those you haven’t seen in a while. It’s going to be a fun-packed day with the music and bar in the marquee and the entertainments arena just outside with a variety of food stands and games.”
Coldplace
Jez Lee, owner of Fake Festivals, said: “It’s hard to believe that Fake Festivals started out in a small Lincolnshire village 10 years ago and now tours around the UK.
"I can clearly remember the day, and never imagined it would take off like it has. I’m really proud to be able to say we are the UK’s only touring tribute festival, and that we have kept it community-led to, and not sold out to commercial pressures that a lot of festivals experience nowadays.”

The convoy of four stopped off in Bridlington as part of their 3,000 mile journey, which is hoped to raise more than £5,000 for charity.
David ‘Tigger’ Atkin, 52, who hails from Hetton-le-Hole in Sunderland, explained: “We are thrilled to be riding the Around Britain Challenge in aid of the charities 4Louis and Orchid.
“This is one of the toughest, yet most exhilarating challenges of our lives, knowing the money we raise will be used to help parents of stillborn children and raise awareness of male cancer throughout the UK.”
The charity, 4Louis, was set up to support the parents and families of stillborn children, while Orchid helps support men and their families suffering from male cancers.
Dave said 4Louis remains close to his heart following personal tragedy: “I lost my first daughter, Samantha, who was born sleeping at full term. 4Louis provide memory boxes free of charge to hospitals.”
And because riders Dave Atkin, Hugh Macleod, Jason Parker and Jamie Stokens all share one thing in common - that they are male - it was decided that men’s cancer charity Orchid would receive half the donations.
Dave added: “Orchid seemed like the right cause to support, because who knows what the future holds?”
Last Wednesday, mayor of Bridlington, Cllr Liam Dealtry met with the group at Garrison Square to congratulate them on their epic journey.
He said: “What they are doing is really impressive and they are a good bunch of guys. They are braver than me! I couldn’t imagine doing all those miles on a motorbike!”

Staithes lead the way with 335 points from Staxton on 306, with Seamer way back in third on 247 points.
Cloughton host Staxton 2nds in Division One, with Staxton needing a hugely one-sided victory to jump above their hosts and win promotion to the top-flight.
Cayton 2nds need to pick up points at Brompton to be in with a chance of leaping above Wold Newton, who are at Wykeham, and avoid the drop.
In Division Two, Bridlington 2nds will wrap up the title with victory against Sewerby 2nds, who could still be relegated if Scarborough 2nds beat Scalby 2nds.
Great Habton and Fylingdales are separated by 10 points and both could still get promoted, Habton are in the driving seat and they travel to already relegated Forge Valley 2nds, while Fylingdales travel to Ravenscar.
Seamer 2nds will join champions Kirkbymoorside in winning promotion from Division Three if they beat Flixton 3rds, but third-placed Wykeham 2nds are only four points behind and play away at Flamborough.
At the other end of the table, Muston need to beat Ryedale at home to try and jump above Nawton Grange 2nds and stay up, while Grange are away at Heslerton 2nds.
Lockton will look to turn around their nine-point deficit to third-bottom Wold Newton 2nds and jump above their opponent to avoid the drop in Division Four, while in Division Five, Forge Valley 3rds hold an 11-point advantage over closest rivals Ravenscar 2nds, who have finished their season, and a 13-point gap over third-placed Wykeham 3rds, who play at rock-bottom Scalby 3rds, so they'll want to get over the line with a win against Muston 2nds.

That’s according to concerned nature lover, Yvonne Tagg, who says 11 birds have been run-over in just two weeks at Burton Agnes Pond, near Bridlington.
Yvonne, 61, of Nafferton, said she and her friend have gone to feed the animals - some of which she claims were abandoned by farmers - almost every day for years.
“We have seen wagons run over ducks because they are going too fast,” said Yvonne.
“A builder on a roof came down and said he couldn’t believe four ducks had been run over.
“He just went straight over them and didn’t even try to stop.
“He found them on the other side of the road, though. They must have gone right under the middle of the wagon.”
But other birds haven’t been so lucky, and Yvonne is demanding action be taken to stop motorists speeding around the bend, close to the pond.
“A speed bump was requested a couple of years ago.
“Everyone feeds the ducks there and there. One of these days a child is going to run out, in the road.”
It comes after Yvonne succeeded in convincing the Burton Agnes Estate to improve the pond, after national newspapers picked up on the story.
Campaigners claimed water levels had fallen at the pond, that the water had become stagnant and birds were wandering into the road in search of food.
A spokesman for East Riding of Yorkshire Council said: “There are sufficient clear wildfowl warning signs in advance of the pond to help motorists, but these signs alone do not prevent collisions with animals, even at low speeds.”
The spokesman added: “Whilst the council recognises the concerns of local residents, the council is unable to recommend the A614 Main Street for traffic calming measures based on the current situation.” | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/local/speed-plea-to-save-birds-1-8074173 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/5cf58cef456c8a65b00de4792763672b7f7cc45540d2f22dd73da42a4ae7fd5e.json |

Some 84 per cent of the college’s students said they were satisfied with the overall quality of their degree or other higher level course, compared to the average score of 86 per cent for all institutions nationally, which includes 155 universities.
In particular, students said that staff were good at explaining things, enthusiastic and accessible, with over 90 per cent agreeing to these statements.
The National Student Survey, conducted by Ipsos MORI on behalf of UK funding bodies, drew responses from about 312,000 final year students at 155 universities and 190 further education colleges.
Paul Smith, assistant director for higher education at the college, said: “This is an excellent outcome for East Riding College and demonstrates the very high quality of teaching and learning across the full range of degrees, teacher training and other higher level courses.
“Our main focus is to ensure that students are challenged and stimulated by their higher education experience, feel they are getting excellent value for money and complete their course with a qualification that will help them to achieve their career goals.
“In particular, we know our students feel they benefit from the high levels of contact time with their tutors and the excellent support and advice they provide.”
The college currently offers degrees at fees which are 30 per cent lower than the typical university fee. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/local/top-satisfaction-at-east-riding-college-1-8071370 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/25896d3cfe94e02fcd082aa2e6364ce8afa16845f774e968a3457cfb8fb07eb5.json |

Cameron Wilson, 14, raised around £400 when he had his hair shaved for Cancer Research UK at Sullivans barbershop off Manor Street.
The Headlands School pupil decided to brave the shave when he saw a friend do something similar and he wanted to help others.
“I am over the moon with the amount of money I’ve raised,” said Cameron.
“I am very grateful for everyone who contributed to my total. I was not even expecting £100 so to get £400 is amazing.
His mother, Dawn Wilson, 47, spoke of her pride at seeing her son raise money for such a great cause.
“He just came out with the idea out of the blue,” she said.
“I was surprised more than anything as his hair is his pride and joy. He was always looking in the mirror and checking it. I like it much better now though, it is much tidier.
“He has always been a caring child and I am so proud of him.”
Following this success, Cameron is now looking at future fundraising ideas. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/local/cameron-has-locks-chopped-for-charity-1-8074147 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/17fa806f703cf8e0e227df46566e81b79614790333d07491aa44497ee8b86e28.json |

It coincides with the start of a new season of the hit BBC One show.
Strictly's most successful couple, now parents to one-year-old Valentina Rose, are returning to their family's City Limits Dancentre studio in Penistone Road, Sheffield.
They will take part in free taster sessions on Saturday, September 3, from noon to 2pm. Full details and more at www.city-limits.co.uk
City Limits is run by Sheffield born Darren's parents, former dance champions, Tony and Judith, and his twin brother Dale.
Darren, aged 39, and his Moscow wife Lilia, 37, are the most successful competitor couple of their generation, winning four British amateur championships, three UK championships and representing Great Britain at the World and European Championships.
They turned professional in 2003, winning the British National Professional Championship two years running and made the final of the World and European Championships.
But they became household names when they joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and won the show in consecutive years.
At his first attempt Darren, dancing with Jill Halfpenny from Eastenders, won the show and then went on to win the Champion of Champions dance off.
In 2005, Lilia waltzed off with the title while partnering Barnsley's own former Yorkshire and England cricketing star Darren Gough, after which they also went on to win the International Christmas special.
They went on to host their own West End show, Latin Fever, which they toured nationally and are today still regarded as one of Britain’s finest Latin American dance couples.
More recently they have worked on the Turkish and Lebanese versions of the Strictly TV show, Darren, born in Deepcar and brought up in Todwick, as a judge and Lilia as a consultant choreographer to the professional dancers.
Darren has also consulted on Danse Avec la Stars, the first series of the French version of Dancing with the Stars.
As well as being successful competitors and performers they have built up an International reputation as coaches, choreographers and first class trainers in both dance and corporate arenas.
They have also trained many of the top junior, youth and amateur couples, including the British Junior champions and No. 1 youth couple in the UK.
Darren's twin Dale said: "Strictly is back and we have Darren and Lilia joining us for an open day, with free taster sessions for children and adults to come along and see what being a student at City Limits is like.
"Fans can take part in one of our Ballroom and Latin classes led by Darren and Lilia.

37.1 overs: Waite out for an 38 off 60 balls - caught by Gareth Batty off the bowling of Sam Curran. Yorkshire up against it now.
THE loss of three quick wickets saw Yorkshire up against it as they took on Surrey at Headingley in the semi-final of the Royal London One Day Cup.
After restricting the visitors to 255-7 from their 50 overs – Matthew Waite leading the way with 3-48 – Yorkshire found themselves in a decent position at 75-2.
But, in the 19th over, Jonny Bairstow - cleared to play in the game by England - was caught by Dominic Sibley for 13 off the bowling of Stuart Meaker.
Just ten balls later, Bairstow’s England colleague, Gary Ballance, followed him back to the pavillion when he was caught behind by Ben Foakes for 32, handing Meaker his second victim.
Four balls later, the hosts were reeling when Jack Leaning chopped onto his stumps having scored just three.
Tim Bresnan was then joined by 20-year-old Waite with the score at 81.
The pair then batted sensibly to take their team’s score to 150-5 with 15 overs remaining.
Earlier, Steven Davies was the star of the show for the visitors, scoring a well-paced 104 off 143 balls with 10 fours and a six before becoming one of Waites’s three victims when he was caught by Will Rhodes.
Most of the damage was done in a fourth-wicket partnership between Davies and Foakes (90), the par putting on 130 before Davies exited in the 38th over.
Kumar Sangakkara, often seen as Surrey’s biggest threat, was sent on his way for just 4 when Azeem Rafiq took a catch off the bowling of Bresnan.
At the start of Yorkshire’s reply, Adam Lyth was dismissed at the start of the third overwhen caught by Sibley off the bowling of J\ake Dernbach.
Alex Lees put on 44 with Gary Ballance before shouldering arms to one off former Yorkshire player Gareth Batty that clean bowled him for 26. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/live-royal-london-cup-yorkshire-v-surrey-middle-order-collapse-leaves-yorkshire-facing-uphill-battle-in-bid-for-lord-s-final-1-8093417 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/0329e109dfe6948bfd9ff32f8e3cda13ae422db2faa9a69a928b704f8985e862.json |

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.

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.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/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.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/3946d6aac30057c39259b25e24d659fd4cf18073de571fec59f1d6f1eaaddfc6.json |

A Joel Sutton hat-trick inspired the Seasiders to a 4-3 win at one of the teams expected to be among the front-runners for the NCEL title.
He said: “Saturday was a great result for us and a real confidence booster as we were all still feeling sorry for ourselves after the Clipstone defeat.
“The pressure was building after only picking up one point from our first two games, but we had some players missing again through injury and unavailability, so we had to shuffle the team again
“Handsworth were full of confidence after winning five of their opening games including a very impressive 4-1 win against Stocksbridge in the FA Cup.
“Being honest, in the first 30 minutes we were 2-0 down and hanging on by our fingernails.
“In boxing terms we were on the ropes and one punch away from being knocked out.
“But the players dug deep and we managed to score a fantastic team goal started by James Hitchcock who threw the ball out and five passes later we had scored with a brilliant finish from Chris Adams.
“We went in at half time and we all felt that we could get something out of the game as their body language had gone.
“Joel Sutton had a great game scoring a brilliant hat-trick for the second season running against them, but all the players deserve huge credit for their reaction after Tuesday and they have all shown a fantastic attitude in training.
“As a manager, you can’t ask for anymore from a group of players who worked tirelessly for each other and in the end got their deserved rewards,” | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/thrilling-comeback-win-was-confidence-booster-1-8096428 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/93b28de63919fe0fb500f8bb7ca532bb1ce8b8dd6a17c1dd4db7651e980e3521.json |

Relegated Mulgrave were 88-5 at home to Heslerton when the elements terminated play, Chris Raine aptly shining for the hosts with an unbeaten 34.
Ebberston were frustrated by the weather as they had reduced Cayton to 14-3 when rain stopped play Frankie Beal bagging 2-4, Ebberston will now need to win at home to Filey in their final game of the season, and hope that third-from-bottom Flixton 2nds slip up at home to Scalby.
Scalby were 67-0 before rain stopped play at Carr Lane against Filey, openers Ryan Labuschagne hitting 40 not out and Joe Hills 26 not out.
Hosts Nawton Grange reached 93-5 before the showers halted the action at home to Forge Valley, Charlie Allott hitting 27 and Charles Tindall grabbing three wickets.
Cloughton confirmed their return to the Premier Division after their game at home to Staxton 2nds also ended in a rain-affected draw, the visitors making 55-4 before rain brought play to a close
Pete Milner capped a cracking season for the hosts, taking 3-23.
The only game completed in this division saw Brompton ease to a seven-wicket home win against Cayton 2nds, who were relegated by this result.
Jes Riley hit 28 and Simon Stubbs 21 as the visitors were limited to 128-8, Kit McCrystal and James Allison taking 3-40 and 3-38 respectively.
Fine knocks from Mark Bruce (57no) and Tom Pateman (47no) wrapped up the win and condemned Cayton to the drop.
Wold Newton escaped the drop after their game at Wykeham was rained off with the visitors in control of proceedings.
A superb 59 from Charles Gray helped Wold Newton post 167-7.
Gray then turned in a fine spell of 4-22 to leave the hosts struggling on 89-5 when rain stopped play, the visitors having earned enough points to stay in the first division.

Brid looked nailed on to secure victory in reply after Andy Clay had smacked 61 and Elliott Traves 46 not out as the hosts raced to 119-1 from just 22 overs before rain halted the game.
Great Habton secured promotion as runners-up as they had Forge Valley at 32-2 when rain stopped play, rivals Fylingdales only making 106-6 at Ravenscar before the elements took over.

The away side dismissed Flamborough for 106, Andy Dixon and Harry Burton hitting 31 apiece, Steve Day taking a superb 5-14.
Burton's 3-24 had the villagers struggling at 55-4 when rain stopped play, Ian Johnson top-scoring with 26.
Seamer 2nds' hopes of stepping up were dashed when their home game against Flixton 3rds was washed out after only 7.3 overs with the visitors on 20-1.
Ryedale looked set to close in on victory on 88-4 chasing 130 to win at Muston when the weather halted their progress.
Veteran Dave Meer smashed a superb 50 and youngster Max Truelove 29 as the hosts posted 129-9, the Pickering side halted with the game well-poised after 20 overs of their run-chase.
Division Four champions Snainton capped a dominant season with a four-wicket home win against Sherburn 2nds despite an excellent 88 not out from Dan Simpson.

It is that Yorkshire stands on the brink of a new golden age of tourism, not only for our seaside resorts, the traditional magnets for visitors, but for attractions across the county.
A few miles south of the tourists strolling around Whitby harbour and climbing the 199 steps to the Abbey, Scarborough was also packed, its cricket festival only adding to the buzz of a resort in full swing for the remainder of summer.
These snapshots of a sunny day bringing the crowds out are part of a bigger picture that should give us cause for great optimism about the future of tourism in Yorkshire.
Across Britain, the bank holiday weekend is anticipated to have seen five million people opting for “staycations” – holidaying here instead of abroad – which is worth £1.25bn to the country’s economy.
Yorkshire’s share of that will be substantial, and there is every prospect of it growing because the evidence of our eyes and ears tells us that more people are coming here, and from farther afield, than in recent years.
That evidence was clear on the busy North Yorkshire Moors Railway steam train that took three of us to Whitby.
As we steamed through that glorious landscape, chatting to the people around us in the carriage, their conversation spoke of first-time visitors already determined to return.
A family of four from the United States. A group from Scotland. A couple from Hampshire and their family from Ireland. A wonderfully ebullient couple with five children from Wolverhampton.
All of them new to Yorkshire, and crucially, all of them charmed by it.
We saw most of them again on the train back to Pickering later that day, and when I asked how they had liked Whitby, all said they loved it and planned to come back to stay over for a few nights.
There is nothing quantifiable about conversations like this, no firm statistics to be drawn about the number of nights booked.
But they dovetail perfectly with the hard evidence we do have – that the number of overnight stays in Yorkshire by visitors grew by 20 per cent last year.
And another hint that suggests the fortunes of our tourist industry are on the up came when I booked a mid-September break to Scarborough.
It was harder finding a room than a couple of years ago since more hotels and bed-and-breakfasts are full. Good news for them, and equally good news for Yorkshire’s economy.
This growth in tourism has been a long time coming. The vigour of Welcome to Yorkshire in promoting the county is a key factor, as are the high-profile events it has brought, like Le Grand Départ and the Tour de Yorkshire, which have created a greater showcase than ever before.
Grimmer events have played their part as well. The spectre of terrorism abroad has made many Britons rethink their holiday plans and opt to stay in this country where they feel safer.
The tourist industry is also reaping the rewards of a transformation in the quality of accommodation for visitors.
My first proper job, more than 30 years ago, was in Bridlington, where a lot of the accommodation on offer appeared to have hardly changed since the end of the Second World War.
For every well-kept, modernised guest house there was another which was gloomy and outdated, with shared toilets and bathrooms where visitors were expected to queue up, towels draped over their arms, to wait their turn and hope the hot water hadn’t run out.
Some of the proprietors were as gloomy as their properties, still kicking out guests after breakfast and forbidding them to return until evening, even if the weather was atrocious.
And the food. Heaven preserve us. The memory of the smell of cabbage boiled into a dull green sludge that floated out of the windows of guest houses around where I lived still makes me shudder.
Unsurprisingly, bookings were plummeting as it dawned on people that for about the same cost, they could have a week in Spain with guaranteed sun, an ensuite bathroom, a balcony and paella served by smiling waiters.
It’s not like that now. Bed and breakfast has reinvented itself as welcoming boutique accommodation, comfortable and cosmopolitan homes from home that serve excellent food.
A category of accommodation that within fairly recent memory was in danger of consigning itself to the history books has been revived thanks to hard work and an appreciation that guests rightly demand high standards.
All of us who live in Yorkshire know how much we have to offer to visitors, whether on the coast, in the countryside or in the towns and cities.
The evidence of the crowds in Whitby and Scarborough, and on the platform waiting for a steam train, is that increasing numbers of people from elsewhere are discovering that too. And that’s as good for us as them.

The 23-year-old opening batsman, who took over the leadership of Yorkshire’s one-day sides last December, has helped mastermind a stunning turnaround in form which sees Yorkshire as favourites with most bookmakers to lift the trophy.
As a young and inexperienced captain, Lees must have felt the pressure of Yorkshire’s poor start to the tournament more than most.

But he has shown great character and maturity to help get their campaign back on track, and he said he is relishing the chance to lead them out at Edgbaston today.
“Definitely. It’s always an honour to represent the White Rose, so the opportunity to lead the side in a Finals Day is massive,” said Lees, who is Yorkshire’s youngest full-time limited overs captain having taken over the role from Championship leader Andrew Gale.
“I’ve not been to a Finals Day as a player before, but I have watched a few on television.
“The atmosphere is always electric, and I can’t wait to get out there and, hopefully, we can play some good cricket and entertain the crowd.”
Yorkshire go into today’s event with confidence high after seven wins in their last eight T20 games.
Lees attributes the transformation to the players discovering a sense of belief.
“We were obviously disappointed with the early-season results, but we never felt that we were far away from playing some very good cricket,” said Lees.
“I think the turning point in our white-ball cricket this season was Lythy’s (Adam Lyth) knock against Northants at Scarborough (in the Royal London Cup).
“He played with real freedom that day, and that has given the rest of the squad confidence to go out and express themselves in both competitions.
“We’ve got a lot of talented players, and everyone understands their roles and we’ve backed ourselves and taken a very positive approach, looking to put as much pressure as possible on the opposition.
“Hopefully, we can take take approach into the semi-final against Durham.”
Lees is expecting a tough test against a Durham team boosted by the return of England’s Ben Stokes. But he believes that his own side have more than enough firepower to beat them.
“Durham are a very good side with some very experienced players who know their games inside out,” said Lees.
“We will have to play very well to defeat them and to progress to the final, but we know that we have the players on the day to do just that.
“We’ve been playing some great T20 cricket at just the right time, and I’m confident in the strength of our team. Everyone’s been contributing, and it’s a proper team effort to get to this stage.”
No-one has contributed more than Lees, who is Yorkshire’s leading run-scorer in the tournament with 272 at 22.66.
He is just ahead of David Willey, who has hit 269 runs at 29.88, while Lyth, Jack Leaning and Kane Williamson have also scored more than 200 runs for the county in this year’s competition, with Williamson having featured briefly as an overseas player before rejoining New Zealand for international action.
Tim Bresnan leads Yorkshire’s wicket-taking list with 20 at 16.20, with spinners Adil Rashid (14 at 18.85) and Azeem Rafiq (13 at 18.69) coming next on the chart.
“I feel like I’ve been hitting the ball nicely all season,” said Lees, who made 85 and 114 not out in the draw against Lancashire in the County Championship at Old Trafford last week.
“It was nice to get some runs in the Roses game, and, hopefully, I can take that form into the semi-final.” | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/t20-finals-day-adam-lyth-s-knock-the-spark-for-yorkshire-s-white-ball-momentum-alex-lees-1-8078722 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/9c24618d42647883cc5166424c7550d668e2321a1ce297e736c3a81422d0a18e.json |

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."
The Sherlocks at Leeds Festival
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.

Fathering a beautiful daughter.

Trust your abilities.
4. What are your ambitions and aims?
My ambition is to ensure Samuel and Lottie, my grandchildren, have as much love and support as I can possibly give.
5. What’s your favourite colour and why?
Blue. I loved junior school, particularly sport, I was in the ‘blue’ house with my best friend and it has just stayed with me ever since.
6. What is your first childhood memory?
I was run over by a van when I was three and I can recall being carried by someone, probably the van driver, to my home.
7. What do you like best about the Bridlington area?
The open spaces and feeling part of it.
8. Describe your perfect day?
My perfect day has altered considerably over the years but now I love it when my 2 grandchildren climb on my knee to watch television. It is very uncomfortable but wonderful.
9. Which three people, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?
My three guests for a dinner party would be 1. My father (he died far too young, before I was old enough to ask him those questions which I would now love to know the answer to.) 2. Tina Turner. A real survivor and brilliant entertainer. 3. Margaret Thatcher. A really tough lady. I would hope some of my softness would be eroded by her.
10. Who would you like to play you in a film of your life?
My first thought would be Steve McQueen but probably more likely it would be Ian Lavender.
11. Where is your favourite place in the world and why?
I love the south of France particularly Languedoc. Beautiful weather, easily accessible, great attitude to life, space.
12. What is your favourite book and why?
I am not a great book reader, but I do love travel, so any travel brochure.
13. Who has been the biggest influence in your life and why?
This is a very easy question. My wife Lesley. We have been together now for 46 years. We were engaged after under a month. We were married very shortly after. We have grown up together because we were just silly youngsters who wanted fun without understanding responsibilities when we met.

If I won a million pounds I would give it away to my family to secure their futures.

17. What three things would you take with you to a desert island?
I would take a computer (for information), tools, and a football for when I got bored.
18. Cats or dogs ... what pets do you prefer and why?
Dogs. They are so faithful and intelligent. A great friend when you need someone who is not going to give you advice.
19. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I wish I was not hurt as much as I am by criticism.
20. What was your favourite year and why?
My favourite year - 1974. My daughter was born that year.

The family spent hours trying to track down Prince, who, unbeknown to his owners, had been allegedly sold on three times in the space of 24 hours. By a stroke of luck, the family were able to locate the pooch around 70 miles away from Bridlington, and he was collected on Tuesday.
Charlotte said: “We were lucky to get in touch with the guy. We are so happy that he’s returned to us.
“He ran straight up to my five-year-old daughter, Maddison, who had been crying all night. She was heartbroken.”

Youngsters at Bridlington School and Headlands School were overjoyed on results day, with pupils at both schools celebrating outstanding results across the board.

Bridlington School can boast the best Progress 8 score across the East Riding - a newly introduced measure that determines the average progress made by all pupils from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4.
Head teacher Sarah Pashley said: “Just like Olympic success, examination success doesn’t come easy. It involves a huge amount of hard work and effort on the part of students and staff.
“We achieved a Progress 8 score of 0.97 which means that Bridlington School students achieved a whole grade higher than students in the rest of the country with the same starting points.
“Bridlington School’s Progress 8 score is by far the best score of all secondary schools in Hull and the East Riding, including the outstanding schools.”

The school can also boast 68 per cent of its pupils having gained A* to C grades in English and Maths.
Overjoyed 16-year-old Leah Bath said she was “surprised” with her results.
“I’ve done really well actually, which I didn’t expect. I’ve go two As in English and Textiles, Four Bs in Maths, Graphics, Science and History and a C in my Additional Science.
“I wasn’t expecting it. I’m going to sixth form, but I haven’t really decided what I’m going to do yet.”

Fellow pupil, Euan Macklin, said he was pleased with his results, having racking up a superb three A*s, three As and a B.
He said: “I’m feeling alright about it, but I’ve had a bit of difficulty in choosing my A Levels, because my biology and chemistry were so close.”
Euan said he wants to pursue career in the sciences.
And 16-year-old Adam Bruce said he couldn’t be happier with his grades.

“I opened my envelope and said ‘yes, I’ve got a C!’”, said Adam, “I’m so excited and can’t wait to go to college.”
Other Bridlington School pupils with grades to shout about include Ellena Gall, with four A*s and five As, Antonia Barnard with two A*s.
And a similar success story brewed at Headlands School, where pupils clamoured into the school hall to receive their long-awaited envelopes.
Head teacher Sarah Bone said: “Congratulations to our exceptional students - the class of Year 11 2016! You have smashed it!
“For the measure of A* to C in English and Maths, early indications are that 61 per cent of the cohort secured this Government performance measure.
“Furthermore, we recorded our best ever GCSE results with 78 per cent of pupils securing an A* to C grade.”

Mrs Bone added that 77 per cent of PE students achieved an A* to C grade, and that 100 per cent of Performing Arts students got A* to C.
Excited Laura Campbell, 16, said: “I’ve got two A*s, an A, four Bs and three Cs. I’m a bit shocked with the maths to be quite honest because I got an A and I was only expecting a C.”
Fellow Headlands pupil and high flyer Eric Liu said all his hard work paid-off in the end, after securing an astonishing 11 A*s and an A.
He said: “I didn’t think I’d get an A in English Literature, that was the one I was most worried about. But I was quite confident for the rest.
“I’m going to Scarborough Sixth Form to do my A Levels and hopefully university. I really want a careers in particle physics.”
Other outstanding performances by Headlands pupils included Jacob King with 10 A*s and one A, and Lauren Stoddard with two A*s, six As and three Bs.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Councillor Julie Abraham, portfolio holder for children, young people and education, said pupils have secured the area’s best results.
She said: “We are delighted with the improvement that many East Riding schools have brought about this year, which is a continued move in the right direction.
“This is down to the hard work of young people and their families supported by dedicated school staff.
“East Riding of Yorkshire Council is committed to improving East Riding schools until we have the some of the best in the country. The results have been achieved against a backdrop of the very low level of funding for East Riding schools from the Department for Education.”
The success follows on from Bridlington’s School’s A Level results that were revealed on August 18. 60 per cent of pupils at Bridlington School achieved an A* to B grade, while 84 per cent of Headlands students achieved at least one A* to B grade, contrary to an infographic on page seven in last week’s Free Press.

A former Yorkshire police officer has condemned Humberside Police’s decision not to prosecute a Porsche driver who was caught on camera almost causing a head-on collision.
Driver Damian Hodgson was on the B1253 between Rudston and Bridlington when the woman, at the wheel of a Porsche Cayenne, put her foot down to overtake on a blind bend.
Police are not taking any action against the Porsche driver.
The dash cam footage shows the driver overtake Mr Hodgson, from Carnaby, and a Citroen in front, before seeing an oncoming Skoda.
The Skoda mounted the grass verge while the Porsche veered into the Citroen - leaving both damaged - before speeding away. Despite “overwhelming evidence” Humberside Police are taking no action due to no complaints or injuries from the incident.
“I am very surprised that the police are taking no action against a woman who was very close to causing a fatal collision,” said former officer John Ponter.
Mr Hodgson, who had five passengers including his wife and children, aged two and five, stopped to speak to the Skoda driver, whose car was unharmed. A girl aged around 10 in the front passenger seat was in tears.
The woman (in pink) following the incident who was driving in her slippers.
Mr Hodgson said he stopped further down the road when he saw the elderly couple in the Citroen exchanging details with the Porsche driver after cosmetic damage was caused to both vehicles.
He said: “The Porsche driver told me she thought she was going to die. She was shaking like a leaf and on the edge of crying as she knew she had done wrong. She said she always overtakes at that spot. She said she was picking her husband up from the pub and was wearing a pair of slippers.”
Mr Hodgson said he offered the footage of the incident, on August 14 at 5.15pm, to the drivers of the Skoda and Citroen for evidence, but both declined. Mr Ponter said: “If police have not received a complaint then they should be making enquiries to get a prosecution for this diabolical piece of driving.
Police need to set an example in this kind of situation and at the moment they are encouraging people to be reckless. If the woman in question now goes on to repeat the manoeuvre then there could be serious consequences. The police then would have to answer why they didn’t nip it in the bud earlier."
A Humberside Police spokesman said: “Realistically, officers can only investigate when there are complaints from people directly involved or if someone has been hurt.
“In this case there has been no such complaint and the Porsche driver in the footage did stop at the scene and exchange insurance details with other driver, making them compliant with the Road Traffic Act.
In addition, no one was hurt, therefore no further action will be taken against the driver of the Porsche. The force would like to thank the person who has handed over the footage of the incident, as it will assist with any future investigation if required.” | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/police-to-take-no-action-on-slipper-driver-1-8090246 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/5e6fda35a6d2bb0e1fa6f25dde95385b34e57d45a841487a4a365b3f9ec5be7e.json |

Drummer vocalist Isaac Holman and band mate Laurie Vincent, on guitar and vocals, play Leeds Festival main stage on Sunday after Reading Festival on Saturday.
And they say northern fans are often more wild than anywhere else in the country.
"I don't know if we can take control of the Leeds crowd but I'll give it a good old go," laughed Isaac, promising fans 'blood, sweat and laughs'.

"We are a southern band so we did a bit better down south at first. But the northern crowds are even more wild for us now than down south sometimes. I think Leeds is going to go off.
"It's completely what I live for. I love playing live. It's the only time my mind goes quiet and I feel comfortable when I step out on stage. The more people there the merrier."
GET LEEDS AND READING FESTIVAL APP: Daily set times for Reading and Leeds Festivals are now live on the R&L App - iTunes and Android.
Slaves are on the same bill as Red Hot Chili Peppers. Imagine Dragons and Courteeners.
Other superstar bands playing this weekends include Biffy Clyro, Fall Out Boy, Foals, Disclosure, The Vaccines and Chvrches - along with rising local stars, such as South Yorkshire's own Radio 1 hitmakers The Sherlocks. Leeds Festival is set to attract around 80,000 people.
Isaac, who also revealed they still get starstruck, said it will be a highlight of their year which also includes a 15 date UK headline tour in November and the release of next album Take Control on September 30.
Isaac added: "Sometimes you get starstruck. Me and Laurie definitely do fanboy some people we meet. But the more you get into the scene you realise everyone is just a person and it becomes a little bit more normal.
"We've worked our way up through the stages. Being main stage is like another level - Leeds and Reading were the festivals we went to when we were younger and I don't think we ever imagined we would be on the bill let alone on the main stage. It's brilliant."
Slaves, from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, will be laying waste to venues across the country as they launch into a full UK tour in November. Yorkshire dates include Leeds O2 Academy on Tuesday, November 15 and Sheffield O2 Academy, on Friday, November 25.
See full tour, ticket details and album download links links below.
Slaves earned a reputation for themselves as one of the UK’s fiercest live acts with their constant touring and festival appearances off the back of last year's debut album, Are you Satisfied?
Their next hit album in waiting was part recorded at Jackson Browne’s studio in Santa Monica, California.
Take Control was produced by one of the legends of early hip hop and New York punk, Mike D who, says Laurie, “Became like another member of our band – we can safely call him our friend, which is just surreal!”
The album finds the young pair sharpening up their skills, both in songwriting and in execution and sounding heavier in places.
Several tracks on the album were recorded on vintage equipment used by the Beastie Boys on their classic records, Including STD’s PhD’s, Angelica and Consume Or Be Consumed.
Recorded back home in London, Steer Clear was a collaboration with another hero, Baxter Dury, who lent his distinctive vocals to a duet with Isaac.
Slaves first emerged in 2012, working their way up through the local toilet-venue circuit to become one of the success stories of 2015.
The band’s debut album Are You Satisfied? smashed in to the UK top 10 and earned the band huge critical acclaim. Thanks to their charismatic mash-up of punky urgency and silly humour, they bagged Kerrang!’s Spirit Of Punk award and NME’s Best Video award (for Cheer Up London), while also securing nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, and for Best New Band at Q and NME.
Along the way, they’ve won the hearts of The Streets’ Mike Skinner, stolen the show on last year’s NME tour, had Skepta join them on stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and toured with Jamie T and Wolf Alice – the latter in America in March, after which Wolf Alice’s drummer Joel Amey bunked off to California to play on new track People That You Meet.

Sadly, that isn’t the case in this day and age. Breeding operations place more emphasis and value on speed than the kind of stamina attributes required to win Doncaster’s historic race. A Champion Stakes or the Arc are more likely to be on the agenda of the top 10f and 12f 3yos, rather than a tilt at the 14f Classic. So there is little chance of revisiting the days when Guineas, Derby or Oaks winners in the mould of Oh So Sharp (1985), Reference Point (1987) and User Friendly (1992) landed the spoils.
However, the Ladbrokes St Leger is still a big deal. It is still the jewel in the crown of a four-day festival ranked among the best in the country. One that will attract more than 65,000 enthusiastic racegoers to Town Moor next week and equate to a £25 million shot in the arm for the Doncaster economy.
It might have become fashionable to knock the race in some snooty quarters. But Leger Day is a day out beyond compare for the many doyens of Donny. And let’s face it, the race is still a Classic, for heaven’s sake. The oldest too, dating back to 1776, and one that still forms the last leg of a Triple Crown, as revered as it elusive.
Who can forget the fervent anticipation of four years ago when the crowds flocked to witness Camelot’s bid to become the first horse since Nijinsky way back in 1970 to land the Guineas/Derby/Leger hat-trick? And equally the burst-balloon-type deflation of Aidan O’Brien’s colt failing.
Who can forget either the high drama of just 12 months ago when the winner, Simple Verse, was controversially disqualified on the day, only to win the race back on appeal, leaving O’Brien, trainer of the runner-up-come-winner-come runner-up, Bondi Beach, with more heartache?
Oh yes, the St Leger continues to give, make no mistake about that. So what might the race have in store this time round?
Not surprisingly, it again revolves around O’Brien, the best trainer in the business. Notwithstanding his disappointments of 2012 and 2015, he has saddled four winners since 2001 when Milan strode to probably the most impressive victory I have seen of the great race. And a week on Saturday, he will send out the red-hot favourite, IDAHO, third in the Derby and winner of York’s Great Voltigeur Stakes, one of the main trials for the Doncaster showpiece.
A class act, the son of Galileo is almost sure to win if he stays the 14f trip. But his pedigree, his style of running and the patient way he is generally ridden instil sufficient doubts to suggest you should cast your net in search of better value.
There is still time for supplementary entries to throw a spanner in the works. But at present, Idaho’s chief rival in the market is MUNTAHAA, trained by another successful patron of the race, John Gosden, who has fielded three winners since 2006. Another not exactly bred to relish the Doncaster distance, he has made rapid improvement this term, culminating in a taking pillar-to-post triumph over 13f at Chester two weeks ago. It was only a Listed handicap, but the son of Dansili had to defy a mammoth mark of 108 against older, more seasoned rivals and also the tight turns of a track far from sure to suit such a big, long-striding colt. He’s a player.
Two horses who were behind Idaho at Epsom, RED VERDON and ALGOMETER, might well get closer faced with an extra 2f, and don’t rule out the favourite’s own stablemate, HOUSESOFPARLIAMENT, reversing Voltigeur placings. He is guaranteed to stay and will relish the galloping expanse of Town Moor. Similar comments apply to a third O’Brien contender, Royal Ascot winner SWORD FIGHTER, while ORMITO is no mug and VENTURA STORM would have to be considered if the ground turned on the Soft side.
It’s a head-scratcher that makes punters grateful the Leger Festival is not all about the main event. Classy, competitive racing abounds on all four days, while the Leger Legends contest on the opening day, featuring past jockeys, continues to delight the crowds and raise valuable money for racing charities in equal measure. Last year, it was won by Tony McCoy no less. This year, two more ex-champions, Richard Hughes and Joseph O’Brien, Aidan’s son, are in the line-up.
Day two on the Thursday is DFS Ladies’ Day, highlighted, appropriately, by a couple of Group races for fillies, the Park Hill Stakes, where Sir Michael Stoute’s ABINGDON will be primed to continue her progression, and the Sceptre Stakes, which has been earmarked by Charlie Hills for his lightly-raced 3yo, JADAAYIL.
The historic Doncaster Cup for stayers is the star attraction on the Friday when PALLASATOR will be a warm fancy to repeat his 2015 success. Vying for the limelight are three crack 2yo contests, including the Flying Scotsman Stakes won so spectacularly by the mighty Frankel six years ago. The 5f Flying Childers Stakes could throw up a thrilling duel between the unbeaten filly MRS DANVERS and Mark Johnston’s YALTA, while the Mallard Handicap on the same day might be a target for Roger Varian’s MONOTYPE.
The supporting card on Leger Day itself includes the Champagne Stakes, one of the leading juvenile heats of the season, in which RIVET and PEACE ENVOY would be interesting, and the 7f Park Stakes, which might yield as striking a winner as last year with NEMORALIA aiming to follow in the footsteps of Limato.
I’m hoping too that there might be openings over the four days for ANOTHER TOUCH, HAGGLE, EL VIP and CARTMELL CLEAVE. If not, best of luck in finding a few winners of your own.
Spectacular autumn schedule ensures the Flat season no longer fizzles out
Autumn is fast approcahing, but gone are the days when the Flat season fizzled out during September and October. On the contrary, next week’s Ladbrokes St Leger Festival at Doncaster is followed by a veritable feast of action across the world to wrap up what has been another compelling campaign on the level. Newmarket’s under-rated three-day Cambridgeshire meeting is swiftly followed by a sensational Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe day in France. Back to Newmarket it is for the two day Future Champions extravaganza. On to Ascot next for the Qipco Champions Day finale, and we haven’t even mentioned the global giants of the Breeders’ Cup in the USA and the Melbourne Cup in Australia. I love Jumps racing as much as the average racing Joe, but I couldn’t even have a National Hunt horse on my mind until late October at the earliest.

A century for man-of-the-match Steven Davies and 90 from Ben Foakes left Yorkshire Vikings chasing a 256 target and although they recovered well after Meaker’s dramatic intervention, thanks to a brave 68 from Tim Bresnan, the task was just beyond them and they were bowled out for 236 to lose by 19 runs with seven balls remaining.

Surrey now have the chance to avenge last season’s final defeat by Gloucestershire but for Yorkshire it was the second consecutive year that they have stumbled at the last-four stage.
It also continued a depressing run of semi-final reverses in List A cricket for Yorkshire, who have now lost 17 times out of 20 on such occasions since 1979.
Captain Alex Lees admitted - combined with defeat in last week’s T20 Blast semi-final to Durham Jets - Yorkshire hadn’t been good enough to progress in either game.
“I think we are all gutted to lose because we have played some great white ball cricket this season,” said Lees. “But when it has mattered in two semi-finals over the past week we have not been good enough.
Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan (second left) is congratulated by Jack Brooks (second right) and Jonny Bairstow (right) after taking the wicket of Surrey's Kumar Sangakkara. Picture by Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
“I thought it was a reachable target and we needed some contributions from the top five and this didn’t happen. All credit to the Surrey bowlers who kept going.”
Lees was also quick to praise the efforts of Bresnan, adding: “He has won three or four games single-handed for us and has been exceptional both with the bat and ball. His big contribution almost got us there. When we look back it will have been a positive season but you still don’t want to lose two semi-finals.”
Yorkshire lost Adam Lyth to Jade Dernbach in their third over and after skipper, Alex Lees, had played some solid strokes in reaching 26 he was bowled driving at his opposite number, Gareth Batty.
At 74-2 in 19 overs, however, Yorkshire were still handily placed until Meaker, bowling from the football end, began his lethal burst.
Jonny Bairstow, released by England for the match, drove gently to Dominic Sibley at mid-wicket; Gary Ballance was caught behind trying to flick over the top of the slips and Jack Leaning dragged into his leg-stump.
The slide to 81-5 was halted by Bresnan and 20-year-old all-rounder, Matthew Waite, who enjoyed a fine match in which he earlier captured three wickets and then scored 38 in an enterprising stand of 80 in 16 overs with his senior partner.
Waite survived a confident appeal for a catch off Batty’s bowling but in the next over from Sam Curran he drove into Batty’s hands at mid-on. Bresnan and Will Rhodes kept the hopes of the 4,836 crowd alive with a busy stand of 46 which ended at 207 in the 45th over when Rhodes played to backward point and set off for a single but was beaten by Tom Curran’s direct hit on the stumps at the bowler’s end.
Bresnan and Azeem Rafiq continued to battle hard, but when Tom Curran sent back both Rafiq and Steven Patterson in the 48th over to make it 236-9 the task was just beyond Yorkshire and the match ended when Bresnan drove Dernbach to Sibley at long-off, his 68 coming off 82 balls with two fours and a six.
Put in to bat, Surrey found themselves on eight for two by the third over, with Kumar Sangakkara one of the wickets to fall, but the early setbacks did not unsettle Davies whose 104 followed consecutive Championship scores of 117, 52 and 56 against Yorkshire this season.
Jack Brooks, in his first List A match of the summer, struck in the day’s second over as Dibley shaped to play to leg but missed and was lbw. Sangakkara was quick of the mark, cutting Bresnan for four, but in the same over the Sri Lankan drove loosely to Rafiq in the covers.
Davies, however, made smooth progress with some splendidly timed shots through the covers, taking boundaries off consecutive balls from Brooks, and he hit 34 of the first 48 runs scored.
But at 61-2 in 14 overs, Waite joined the attack and his first delivery was flicked casually to long leg by Burns for Patterson to hold a good catch dropping to his knees.
It should have been an even more memorable over for Waite but three balls later Davies, on 43, drove back past the bowler’s hands and the chance went begging.
Had Davies gone then, Surrey would have been in big trouble but they were rescued by Davies’ and Foakes’ partnership of 130, the visitors’ highest for the fourth wicket in List A cricket against Yorkshire and beating the 110 by Monty Lynch and Andrew Needham at Bradford in 1985.
Davies, having reached his half-century from 57 deliveries, continued to time the ball to perfection, hooking Bresnan for four and on-driving Rafiq for six while Foakes moved smartly to his own 50 from 51 balls, the stand entering three figures in 21 overs.
A single to Davies off Patterson took him to his century off 112 balls with ten fours and a six, but four runs later he hit a low full toss from Waite straight to Rhodes on the mid-wicket boundary.
Surrey were 191-4 in the 39th over and they lost much of their momentum in the last dozen overs or so, Sam Curran going for 16 when he was bowled by Waite in a futile and ungainly attempt to scoop the ball round the corner.
Waite’s figures of three for 48 were Yorkshire’s best of the day and at the end of his stint he received warm and prolonged applause from the appreciative crowd.
Foakes struck Bresnan high over long on for six but was denied a century when a ramp shot went wrong and he was caught by Brooks for 90 from 100 balls with seven fours to go alongside his big hit.
Surrey debutant, Ollie Pope, was run out for 20 off the last ball of an innings which never quite blossomed as much as it might of done, although it may never have bloomed at all but for Davies and Foakes.
As it happened (the last 10 overs) ...

“As chairman I want to encourage more players to badminton and strengthen the local league as well as the Yorkshire League teams representing Bridlington.
“Badminton is in good place after the recent success of Ellis and Langridge winning a bronze medal at the Olympics. I have had people come up to me saying they didn’t realise the speed and power top badminton players hit the shuttle with,
“So I say to people who either want to start playing badminton for fun or join a club please do it you will love it. It’s a great social sport and so much fun and brilliant for keeping fit.
“We are a very supporting league and encourage new players to badminton, this year a team from Scarborough has entered the league and a team from the Post Office has returned.”
Robinson has represented Yorkshire at junior, senior and masters level and is the current captain of Bridlington’s Yorkshire League first team who play in Division Two. He also leads Priory who have won 19 consecutive titles in the Bridlington League and is a Level two coach.

“My goal is to promote badminton and by the end of the season have more players playing at a better standard.

Heath are among the fancied sides in Yorkshire One, but the hosts were quick out of the blocks and raced into an 18-0 lead inside half-an-hour, eventually running out 33-24 winners.
Bridlington v Heath
Head coach Paul Cook said: “It was a good win against a good side.
“They were big up front and had a very good goal kicker and I know they have hopes of doing well in the league this season because they have recruited a few players.
“We were 18-0 up and should have taken the game away from them,but we let ourselves down in the second half and our concentration dropped. We didn’t have much ball in the first 15 or 20 minutes and made some silly errors, although our defence was very good.
“We didn’t play rugby in the right areas of the pitch and it was more to do with thinking than fitness.”
Bridlington v Heath
The afternoon began with a minute’s silence in memory of Alan Warrington, former president, chairman and captain and a great ambassador of the club, who died last week.
Bridlington started strongly and after five minutes Ben Johnson and Ryan Girking turned possession over, Jimmy Thompson carried strongly and forced a penalty, which Stevie Mellonby kicked.
He added another penalty on 10 minutes but wrong options were putting Bridlington under pressure.
Eventually, the home side worked upfield and Will Davies linked with Girking to set Mellonby away. He was held up short, but the ensuing ruck saw Martin Robinson power over.
Bridlington were now looking dangerous in possesion and when a poor clearance kick went to Matiu Welch, he somehow managed to dance and sidestep several would-be tacklers and score a super try under the sticks for Mellonby to convert.
At 18-0 up, Bridlington slipped into bad habits and Heath kicked two penalties to make the scoreline 18-6 at half time.
A resurgent Heath began the second half well and pressure told with a penalty and a converted try.
Only two points ahead, Brid hadn’t seen the ball for 15 minutes but eventually got into Heath territory, where Welch once again bamboozled the visitors’ defence and scored at the posts, converted by Mellonby.
Again, Brid made errors but Heath could only manage another penalty, even when Girking had been sin-binned.
Mellonby’s boot stretched the lead to 28-19 and with 10 minutes left, Welch put a clever kick to the corner, Heath were under pressure and Wiremu Cookson supported the backs and charged in from 20 yards.
Heath grabbed a consolation try at the death but Bridlington progressed and will travel to Whitby in round two on October 15.
The league campaign gets underway this Saturday, when Old Brodleians are the visitors to Dukes Park. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/rugby/fast-start-sees-bridlington-make-shield-progress-1-8096284 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/2fae150665098991b3fd1a4b65d6699fefaad25fab93e730e1d0b9c717ccc291.json |

She completed 26 miles on a treadmill at Fir Tree Park in Sewerby last Friday, finishing her challenge in three hours and 35 minutes.
That effort saw her collect £200 for the Teenage Cancer Trust and was part of a weekend of fundraising at the holiday park.
A family fun day, organised alongside Sue and Jared Bloodsworth, featuring go-karts, a barbecue, stalls, a raffle and more, raised a further £1432.12.
Wood initially set out to raise £10,000, mainly based around running six of the world’s major city marathons.
She is now past that target, months ahead of schedule.

Their witless chanting echoed around the stands in a manner that reflected poorly on Kent and their stewarding operation, such as it was.
Yorkshire's Liam Plunkett celebrates his caught and bowled of Kent's Will Gidman at The Spitfire Ground. Picture: Adam Davy/PA.
It is not known what prompted the abuse, or why Kent did nothing to eject these people.
Plunkett simply responded in the best way possible.
For a second year running, he produced a match-winning performance at the quarter-final stage, earning Yorkshire an 11-run win and a semi-final against Surrey at Headingley on August 28.
Last year, it was Essex who felt the force of Plunkett’s power in the quarter-finals, the all-rounder scoring an unbeaten 49 from 32 balls to lead them to an unlikely par total at Chelmsford.
Yorkshire's Adam Lyth led the way with the bat for Yorkshire at Kent on Thursday. Picture: Adam Davy/PA.
He followed that up with his side’s best figures of 3-58 as Yorkshire won by 20 runs.
Last night, after Yorkshire scored 256-9 from their 50 overs, Adam Lyth top-scoring with 88 and England vice-captain Joe Root contributing 45, Plunkett returned 4-52 from 10 overs in another decisive intervention.
He began with the wicket of Sam Northeast, caught at mid-wicket to end a dangerous stand of 50 with Joe Denly for the second wicket after David Willey trapped Daniel Bell-Drummond in the second over of Kent’s reply.
After Steve Patterson got Sam Billings lbw, Plunkett followed up by removing Denly, who skied to Willey in the mid-wicket region.
Darren Stevens, playing his 500th match for Kent, and Alex Blake added 86 in a fifth-wicket stand that looked to be putting the hosts on course for victory before Willey had Blake caught behind for 50.
But the key moment of the night came with the total on 180-5 in the 37th over when Plunkett produced a remarkable catch, diving one-handed to his left, to remove Stevens for 54 off his own bowling.
Plunkett took a simpler caught-and-bowled to dismiss Will Gidman before Adil Rashid and Willey closed out the match.
Victory kept Yorkshire on course for an historic treble of County Championship, Royal London Cup and NatWest T20 Blast and delighted their one-day captain, Alex Lees.
“We knew this was going to be a real tough game,” he said.
“Kent had a home quarter-final for a reason, and I thought Adam and Joe played brilliantly with the bat. We battled really hard to get a good score, and our bowling was exceptional. The match-winning performance was Liam’s. He was brilliant.”
Before a near-capacity crowd of 6,000, who watched in glorious weather, Lyth got Yorkshire off to a flier after the visitors lost the toss.
Lyth flicked former Yorkshire pace bowler Mitch Claydon to the mid-wicket boundary and square-drove his next ball to the backward-point rope.
He also lofted Claydon for six over long-off and Lees hammered him for a straight boundary before the captain was first out to the final ball of the fifth over.
Claydon dropped short and Lees pulled down the throat of Blake on the mid-wicket rope.
Lyth and Root ticked along in seemingly effortless manner, scoring at just under five an over without the hint of risk.
Root worked the ball around unfussily and it came as a surprise when he was second out with the score on 117 in the 24th over, the victim of another catch at deep mid-wicket by Blake, this time off Charlie Hartley.
Hartley, a 22-year-old right-arm pace bowler, was playing only his fourth List A game. He completed a notable double when he followed the wicket of Root with that of Bairstow, who went for nine when he chipped to Bell-Drummond at mid-on.
Lyth looked set for his third century in the competition but flirted at one outside off stump from Coles and was caught behind.
Yorkshire lost two wickets with the score on 191 in the 39th over, bowled by Will Gidman, when Tim Bresnan picked out cover and Willey was strangled for a golden duck.
Plunkett sliced Coles to cover, Gary Ballance was run-out for 37 after a mix-up with Rashid when considering a third run, and Azeem Rafiq was bowled by Coles, who ended with 3-39.
Rashid hit a six and a four in the last over, bowled by Claydon, as Yorkshire achieved an advance of four on the total of 252-9 they made in last year’s quarter-final.
Even after Stevens’s departure, Yorkshire could never feel that they had the match won.
Coles swung productively before being smartly stumped by Bairstow off Rashid, who took the ninth wicket to have Hartley lbw.
Willey ended things by pinning James Tredwell, much to the frustration of the individuals beneath the lime tree. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/liam-plunkett-silences-abusive-spectators-by-leading-yorkshire-to-royal-london-semi-finals-1-8077697 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/6ed242ff4738cf85d9a478fadb4e8ef4c5ff55b99a0375eed78808132185c7da.json |

Yorkshire failed in their attempt to win the NatWest T20 Blast for the first time when they lost by seven runs to Durham in the semi-final at Edgbaston on Saturday.
However, Gillespie’s men are still in the hunt for a hat-trick of County Championships and they are through to the Royal London Cup semi-finals for a second successive season, with Yorkshire determined to put behind them their T20 heartbreak.
“We were bitterly disappointed to lose the T20 semi,” said Gillespie, “but there’s still everything to play for in the next few weeks.
“We’re still in the 50-over comp and the Championship, and we’ll dust ourselves down and crack on.
“We can look back on the T20 campaign by and large with a lot of pride, considering the way that we started the tournament (Yorkshire won only one of their first seven games before winning six of the last seven to reach the knockout stages).
“It’s a tough one to take, losing the semi, but there’s still plenty to fight for in the next few weeks, and I know that the lads will bounce back strongly.”
Yorkshire came up against a world-class display from England pace bowler Mark Wood, who captured a T20 career-best 4-25 from four overs after Durham scored 156-6 in the second semi-final, Northants beating Nottinghamshire by eight runs in the first semi-final.
Wood twice took two wickets in three balls – including the key scalps of England batsmen Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance – after Ben Stokes had earlier top-scored with 56 on his return to the Durham side after a calf injury.
“Mark Wood bowled beautifully,” said Gillespie, with Wood following that performance with 1-25 in the final against Northants, who went on to take the trophy with a four-wicket win.
“We were going along quite nicely and then we lost two quick wickets (Bairstow and Ballance), and we didn’t quite recover from that.
“I certainly felt that it was a gettable total, especially with the strength and depth of our batting line-up, and we should have chased those down.
“We can look at all sorts of reasons as to why that didn’t happen, but the facts are that we didn’t get the runs and Durham played very well.”
With hindsight, Gillespie felt that Yorkshire might have made more of an effort to see off Wood, although that was clearly easier said than done.
The 26-year-old right-armer, who only recently returned to action after ankle surgery, was bowling at 90mph and he would have been a handful for any opposition.
“Maybe we just needed to soak up the pressure a little bit more and get through his (Wood’s) spell, knowing that he only had four of the 20 overs, and maybe there are some lessons to be learned there,” said Gillespie, whose side take on Surrey in the semi-finals of the Royal London Cup at Headingley on Sunday.
“We just weren’t able to win the key moments, and Wood took the wind out of our sails.
“Any cricket watcher could see that he was used very well by the captain; he was brought on to take wickets and put the pressure on us, which is exactly what happened.”
Yorkshire captain Alex Lees echoed Gillespie’s sentiments at the end of an encouraging T20 campaign for the club overall, with Yorkshire having only once previously reached Finals Day.
Lees hit the second-highest score of 22 on a day when Adam Lyth (64) led the Yorkshire chase.
“Woody tipped the scales, and when you twice get two wickets in one over, it certainly puts the opposition on the back foot,” said Lees.
“We’re bitterly disappointed, and I just think that we lacked somebody in the middle order to make a contribution.
“Overall, we had a good tournament after everyone had written us off after the first few games, and we showed strength of character to come back and qualify and reach Finals Day. That’s testament to the group of players that we have, and the lads’ work ethic and prep was second to none.”
Attention now returns to the Championship, with Yorkshire going into tomorrow’s game against Notts at Scarborough in second place in Division One, 26 points behind Middlesex with a game in hand.

The Bridlington club was thrilled to learn that one of its talented cadets, Alyesha Monkman, was part of the winning crew.
She teamed up with Dan Norman, from the Isle of Sheppey Sailing Club, to take top spot and the title of world champion.
Alyesha’s stepfather Joe Franks, who was the club’s Rear Commodore Dinghies last year, was also involved in the competition, and he teamed up with his daughter Hattie.
They took 28th place in the final standings, an impressive achievement given that more than 100 boats had entered the event.
There was an even better result for RYYC member Mat Exon, who was shortlisted for the Free Press Sports Person of the Year back in 2013.
Sailing with his son Jake, they secured a top 10 finish, eventually taking eighth position.
The championships were held over five days in Medemblik in Holland and featured boats from Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, South Africa and Switzerland. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/other-sports/ryyc-cadet-is-new-world-champion-1-8073737 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/ac601758b424945e24d543d68298a5af1ca93af4fc101121aa3f900a47aaae81.json |

For us, Leesy is coming into some form and Lythy is and me now as well and, hopefully, we can use that to really start hitting our straps.
I was happy to contribute with 83 in the Roses game at Old Trafford. I wanted three figures and was desperate to get there, but I did occupy the crease for a long period of time and in the context of the game, it was an important knock and I was pleased to get runs.
Coming to the business end of the season, I had said before that we can get our players in form, then it sets us up nicely.
I was pleased to contribute. In the context of the game, there was a lot of rubbish flying around on the field and it was nice to shut up a few of their lads.
We needed 219 from 30 overs at tea on the last day, but decided that the target was just too much and shook hands on the draw.
You have to trust the batsmen out there, I guess, and their decision and the pitch was deteriorating.
There was quite a lot of spin and with our left-handers in the top-order, it was probably a bridge too far. And I think that it was a good statement with us being none down as well.
The last thing we wanted to do was be holding out for a draw, seven or eight wickets down or something like that and it was a decent statement from us, even though we didn’t play our best cricket at times. We came out with our heads held high.
If we had been chasing 150 or 160 going into that last 18 to 20 overs, then it would have given us a good chance. We just felt it was too many to chase.
I don’t think that Lancashire would have gone for it either, to be honest.
Overall, it was a solid draw, although I was a bit disappointed with the way we bowled on the morning of day two as I thought we were exceptional on day one and held our lines and lengths and were patient.
All that hard work was undone by poor bowling on the second morning and it really put us behind the eight-ball.
But the encouraging thing is we got past the follow-on and got back into the game.
Azeem Rafiq, Jack Leaning and David Willey all got their Yorkshire caps before the game and it was a fantastic moment.
The best part of my job is to give caps out like that and see what it means to the lads.
In particular, you could see it for the two lads who have come right through the age groups. To eventually get a Yorkshire cap; you could see the emotion in their faces when they received them.
It was good for David, too. He is starting to win games for us now in the short-ball format, although he probably has not played as many red-ball games as he would have liked and has had a few injury niggles and going into that Old Trafford game, he had a hamstring injury.
But he is starting to win games of cricket and that is why we signed him; for us to be in the hunt – in the white-ball Twenty20 and 50-over competition.
It’s finals day today in the T20 and I am looking forward to it and am going down there and will be in and around the squad.
It is a big day for the club and we want to keep our name in the hat for all three formats and trophies.
Obviously, I would have been liked to have been a part of the white-ball stuff. But when you look down the team sheet when all the international players come back, it is a bloody tough side to get into! | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/andrew-gale-lord-s-showdown-is-looming-and-we-re-really-beginning-to-hit-our-straps-1-8079356 | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/dd76a5e4e4a83168d3fb82f38bdef15dec164d6e0a911bc521c9b700a4553d58.json |

George Biggs (16), from Holbeach, had six A*s, six As and a double distinction star in IT.
He’s going straight to the UAH sixth form for A-levels in Maths, Geography, Biology and Physics and then hopes to get a place at Norwich University.
“I did work really hard,” said George. “But you don’t expect something like this. I am really happy. I want to be an environmental geophysicist.”
His mum Sam told us: “We are all very proud of him. He’s achieved this through sheer hard work and determination as well as being a bright young man.”
The results show that on average, pupils at UAH perform at least half a GCSE grade higher than their predictions. Well done to all concerned. Principal Steve Baragwanath
Mr Baragwanath said: “Pupils have enjoyed their most successful year ever at UAH.”
As well as the headline five A*-C record, he said highlights included 98 per cent A*-C grades in Chemistry, Physics and Biology; 84 percent A*-C grades in Food Technology; and 82 per cent A*-C grades in Child Development.
UAH students also achieved 68 per cent A*-C grades in Maths and English Language.
Mr Baragwanath said: “We are particularly delighted with the progress made by pupils, with a value added score of 1033 indicated at this stage. This is another significant improvement on previous years – we had 1022 in 2015 – and shows just how hard the Year 11 pupils have worked. The results show that on average, pupils at UAH perform at least half a GCSE grade higher than their predictions. Well done to all concerned.”

Millie Howard (16), from Saracen’s Head, earned two A*s, four As and six Bs. She will take A-levels at UAH. Proud mum Elaine said: “I think they are excellent results.”
Kerry Ward, from Holbeach, is also heading to the sixth form and her results sprang some nice surprises as she earned a string of good grades, including three As and seven Bs.
She said: “I got As in subjects I didn’t expect to get them in, such as Child Care.”
All smiles from Kerry Ward, Courtney Cousins, Millie Howard, Lydia Sleight, Cameron Lee, Stefan Gostic and Jordan Brown. SG250816-114TW
• Mr Baragwanath praised the teamwork that helped students give their best.
He said: “I would like to thank all of the staff for their hard work over the year and also all of the families and governors who have supported the pupils and the school.
“We wish them all every success in the future.” | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/news/latest-news/picture-gallery-it-s-a-record-gcse-year-at-university-academy-holbeach-1-7543931 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/d1716e58c373b4e0966ea6a7593ec5664dbac275e3383e396fec100f7703bfd0.json |

A third double of the opening weeks from Wells – taking his tally to eight goals in just five games – turned the Tulips’ nightmare start into a derby-day dream come true.
Having conceded after 80 seconds, Spalding showed their spirit to hit back thanks to a couple of close-range finishes.
They took control before the break and Frecklington’s changes ensured that lead was protected.
He has already admitted the plans may not be pretty – but they are effective and it’s all about getting the right results.
It was clear that the big danger would come from Stamford playmaker David Bell’s long-range passes and creative skills.
Joy at the final whistle
So, from the start of the second half at 2-1 up, Matt Varley was given a holding role in front of Spalding’s defence.
Three minutes later, Bell was introduced to substitute Sam Downey who didn’t let him out of his sights in a man-marking job.
When Bell tried to push forward with time running out, Varley was already in position to deal with it.
Wells was left on his own up front and Stamford could not break down Spalding’s strong unit of organisation and commitment.
Although the Daniels may have levelled in first-half stoppage-time when Delroy Gordon’s far-post header hit the woodwork, they failed to create a clear-cut chance after Frecklington changed his formation.
Bell’s corner was cleared off the line by skipper Nathan Stainfield and then keeper Michael Duggan pushed the ball over the bar.
But the only threat came from set-pieces and Duggan was never truly tested thanks to plenty of protection.
Andrew Wright had three attempts at the other end and Wells’ hat-trick opportunity was halted by Peter Denton – mainly because the striker looked too tired to make yet another run.
Wells had done his job – nodding in Paul Walker’s assist and then taking a touch before finishing it off again from Varley’s long throw-in.
The early advantage came when Denton’s goal-kick was flicked on and Ryan Robbins slotted low past Duggan.
It was a typical derby – full of challenges and a few times when tempers flared.
Stamford were fortunate as Tom Batchelor escaped a red card for an apparent stamp on Wells following a foul on the halfway line.
But Spalding got what they deserved for their efforts.

Currently the only “no entry” sign at The Crescent/Spring Gardens junction is part hidden by a hanging basket and more and more cars are heading the wrong way into oncoming traffic.
The one way (turn left) direction arrow is barely visible for drivers joining The Crescent from Priory Road.
Traders believe a broken white line marking off parking bays in The Crescent adds to the mayhem because drivers mistake it for the usual centre white line on a two-way carriageway.
Tulip Radio’s Jan Whitbourn saw three cars go the wrong way along The Crescent on Friday morning – and a trader spotted a further two making a prohibited right turn from Priory Road into The Crescent.
Opposite the mouth of Priory Road a hanging basket partly hides a white arrow sign pointing left.
Jan spoke out after a cyclist riding at speed on the pavement went over his handlebars and clattered into a parked car as he tried to avoid hitting her vehicle while she emerged slowly from the radio station car park.
It has been decided that the damaged (no entry) sign does not need to be replaced. Lincolnshire County Council
“He could have gone straight over my bonnet,” she said. “A minute later a white van comes hammering up The Crescent – the wrong way again. It’s ridiculous, someone is going to get killed.”
Jan’s office window faces the street and she sees three or four cars go by the wrong way each day.
Trader Emma Peake, who runs Daisies, wants action at both danger spots before the new term starts because she fears for the safety of younger pupils who may be riding bikes or walking to school for the first time.
Jan and Emma want the missing no entry sign returned – and words painted on the Tarmac so drivers know which way to travel.
Emma Peake wants the traffic dangers removed before the new school term starts.
But a council highways spokesman said: “The no entry sign was damaged at the end of June and was removed for safety reasons. However, there is a second no entry sign that is still in place and road markings to alert people.
“In light of this, it has been decided that the damaged sign does not need to be replaced. People are advised not to travel the wrong way down the street. This not only puts yourself in danger, but your passengers and other motorists too. Anyone who witnesses such an incident should report it to the police.”
Traders say parked vehicles often hide this no right turn sign in Priory Road.
Confusing markings: traders say drivers mistake The Crescent for a two-way carriageway because of the white lines marking off parking bays. | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/news/latest-news/spalding-traders-fear-someone-will-be-killed-on-danger-road-1-7549485 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/7b65a167139a705eacb8d1732935c417d67d2ed01c4fc5098aa09a2d18759058.json |

Firefighters were helped by two men who went to the accident scene off Deeping High Bank, Crowland, at about 8pm on Wednesday.
Lincolnshire Free Press and Spalding Guardian reader Alison Rolfe
Two people were rescued from a Volkswagen Golf that ended up in the River Welland, near the A16, and then taken to Peterborough City Hospital where one of the occupants, a man, later died.
A message posted on our Lincolnshire Free Press and Spalding Guardian Facebook page by reader Alison Rolfe said: “I think a mention should go out to the two brave men, one of which was my dad, who dived in to try to save the man before the emergency services arrived.
“My dad, who is 67, did it with no thought for himself and our thoughts go out to the family of the person (who died)”.
However, another patient is still being treated there and a spokesman for East Midlands Ambulance Service said: “We received a call yesterday at 8.09pm to Deeping High Bank, Crowland, where the caller reported a car in a river.
“We sent ambulances to the scene, backed up by three responders from LIVES, and two patients were taken to Peterborough City Hospital.”
Despite the efforts of firefighters from Crowland and a specialist water rescue team from Spalding, the man is the 39th person to die on Lincolnshire’s roads this year.
A spokesman for South Lincolnshire Coroner’s Office said: “We are still waiting for information from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Coroner’s Offices about the person who has passed away.
“Our expectation is that the coroner’s office in Peterborough will pass the case to us and as soon as we get the details, we will move the case forward.”
THURSDAY 9.10AM: Man dies in Crowland river crash
A man has died after a car entered the river near Crowland.
The incident happened around 8pm last night on (Wednesday) in the B1166 Deeping High Bank.
The man was rescued from VW Golf and taken to Peterborough hospital but he sadly died.
A Lincolnshire police spokesman said: “Identification procedures are ongoing so we are unable to confirm any further details about the victim at this time. A recovery operation is underway to remove the vehicle from the water.”
Any witnesses who have not already spoken to officers at the scene are asked to call the Collision Witness Hotline on 01522 558855.
This death brings to 39 the number killed on Lincolnshire’s roads in 2016.

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.

Race one started with Andy Prior and Paul Burton getting good starts and staying ahead of the pack in the strong conditions and youngsters Niall Holland and Lucy Burton keeping up with the main pack despite being in a slower boat.
One of the races on Sunday
Result: 1 Prior, 2 P Burton, 3 Holland & L Burton, 4 Martin Cook, 5 Neal Tack & Ian Dignall, 6 Harry Whitelam.
By race two, the wind had increased – making it a game of survival for some but Prior and Burton took the first two places again despite an early capsize for Burton.
However, in this race Will Cook and Emma Hill in the club Enterprise performed well to take third place.
Tack and Dignall were fourth and the last boat to finish as Holland, Cook and Ros Nichols all retired.
Andy Prior
Overall this meant Prior won the series with five wins out of six as Tom Bell took second and Phil Robertson third. Junior sailing sessions resume on Sunday (9.30am-11am) followed by the first cadet race of the season at 11.30am.

Maryann Jobson, who has convictions for more than 150 previous offences, made off with £160 cash and a Kindle after entering the property in Hannam Boulevard, Spalding.
Andrew Scott, prosecuting, told Lincoln Crown Court that the 16 year-old, who was the only person in the property at the time, noticed Jobson outside but had been told by his mother not to let her in.
Mr Scott told the court: “He heard a knock at the door and he looked out of the window and saw the defendant. His mother had said he was not to let her in and to ignore her if she called. He did that.
“He was on his own in his bedroom listening to music. A couple of minutes later he heard a noise in his mother’s bedroom.”
Mr Scott said the boy shouted out: “Who the hell is in my house?”
“He then saw the defendant descending the stairs.”
Mr Scott said the incident happened just two days after Jobson called at the home of an 83 year-old neighbour claiming she needed to use his phone.
The man allowed her inside but while she was there she stole his wallet containing £60 cash and his bank card. Jobson also stole a strimmer and other tools from his garden shed.
The court was told she had 57 previous convictions for a total of 154 offences including 88 thefts.
Jobson (34), of Hereward Road, Spalding, admitted burglary on July 4 and theft from the 83 year-old man on July 2. She also admitted two offences of shoplifting and breach of a six month community order imposed on May 11 this year.
Judge Michael Heath, passing sentence, told her: “For a number of years you have shown yourself to be thoroughly dishonest. That no doubt, in part, has been fuelled by your addiction to class A drugs.
“I hope you can finally rid yourself of your addiction. That is up to you. You cannot go on committing offences of burglary and theft without a significant prison sentence ensuing.”
Jonathan Straw, in mitigation, said: “She has been in the grip of a heroin addiction. In the last 12 months, very much to her shame, she has moved from smoking that drug to injecting. It is a habit she would like to kick but she has not been able to and it is a habit that drives her to extreme ends.” | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/news/latest-news/spalding-heroin-addict-jailed-for-five-years-1-7546627 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/681211f8b630b6dea0e215edbb8fe40342b945f3be668e05121c82b25c20d89f.json |

RUNNING TIME: 1 HR 36 MINS
DIRECTOR: RICKY GERVAIS
This feature-length movie dedicated to Ricky Gervais’ iconic character is surprisingly inconsistent fare – ultimately saved by half a dozen stand-out comedic moments.
The camera crew that helped make David Brent a minor celebrity in the early ‘noughties’ with the hit BBC series documentary The Office are now shadowing the now stationery supplies salesman – as he tries to make it as a rock star.
Also managing aspiring rapper Dom Johnson (Ben Bailey ‘Doc Brown’ Smith) – who unbeknown to Brent is potentially the best thing in the band – Brent takes ‘time out’ from his job, hires an expensive road manager (Tom Basden), pieces together his band Foregone Conclusion – and organises a tour across Berkshire paying all expenses (which rack up to more than 20 grand) along the way.
In the film’s weaker moments it looks like Gervais’ character’s trademark characteristics are ‘dragged out’ – leading to a touch of Brent fatigue intermittently through the duration – as the premise is padded to the max, but if you’re a fan of the delusional wannabe rocker it will just about satisfy.
Despite some of the ‘near the knuckle’ jokes – see much talked about racism joke using the ‘n-word’ – the movie is saved by a handful of eye-watering belly-laughs, usually seen with Brent’s lyrics to his self-penned songs.
But those few sequences aside, it does have a slight lack of ingenuity from the controversial regular Golden Globe awards host – and doesn’t stand out in the same way as Steve Coogan’s Alan Partridge did in Alpha Papa three years ago.
Fortunately, when the laughs do arrive though, they’re bordering on comedy ‘gold’.
Rating: 3/5 Gavin Miller

Clarke has taken advantage of a couple of track days at his local circuit prior to the weekend to get in some extra experience which should help him in his quest for a top result.
Last time out the 20-year-old rider from Kirton scored a 15th place at Brands Hatch and would have been further up the order if the race had not been red flagged.
He is now a regular points finisher in the Superstock 600 class and will be seeking a good result to pick up more points this weekend.
Philp scored points in two of his three races in the British Supersport class at Brands Hatch and will be hunting down two strong finishes at Cadwell this weekend to add to his points tally.
Last season he was competing in the British Supersport Evo class where he completed the season in a creditable 14th position and has now moved up to the main championship which is full of very experienced and fast riders.
But he is adapting well to the faster and more competitive racing and is also a regular points scorer.
Clarke is first out on track on Saturday for free practice at 9am followed by the first of two qualifying sessions at 4.40pm. Final qualifying is at noon on Sunday and there is a short morning warm-up on race day at 8.55am ahead of the 12-lap race at 11.15am.
Philp has two free practice sessions on Saturday at 9.40am and 2.20pm.
The qualifying session is at 11.20am on Sunday, results of this will set the starting grid for the short 12-lap sprint race at 5.20pm.
There is a short morning warm-up on Monday at 10.05am to make last-minute adjustments prior to the feature race which is run over 16 laps of the Wolds course at 4pm. | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/sport/other-sport/motorcycling-aaron-aims-for-home-success-1-7542242 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/7408db1a509e465fa9649c55aa18f3b9b72b4be3bbe74bcbf768709d789d513d.json |

A £100,000 cut in funding for Lincolnshire Chaplaincy Services (LCS) by the Diocese of Lincoln has been made worse by its decision to end its financial support completely at the end of 2016.
The diocese plans, instead, to take over the running of chaplaincies in colleges, universities, public, industrial and agricultural sectors, although no details of its plans have yet been made public.
Among those at risk of redundancy is south east Lincolnshire industrial chaplain, the Rev William Ruddle of Pinchbeck, who said: “Personally, I am disappointed that the Anglican Diocese has decided to take its chaplaincy programme ‘in-house’.
“LCS was regarded by many as the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the church’s ecumenical (cross-church) life together in Lincolnshire.
“For my part, whilst I anticipate being made redundant from LCS during the autumn, I am currently in advanced conversations with Lincolnshire Police with a view to continuing to provide chaplaincy to its officers and to lead its growing chaplaincy volunteer service.”

LCS was granted charitable status in 2008, with a function of employing full-time chaplains to work towards “the physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing of the inhabitants of Lincolnshire” in education, agriculture, environment and manufacturing
The chaplains are helped by volunteers and other church members in their work which is overseen by a Board of Trustees, chaired by the Rev Bruce Thompson of Lincolnshire Methodist District.
Mr Thompson said: “LCS understands that the Diocese of Lincoln has taken the decision to cease funding it on two grounds.
“Firstly, financial in that cuts to its budget are necessary and, secondly, due to its intention to potentially ‘take chaplaincy in-house’ and under the control of the diocese.”
The Spalding Guardian asked the Diocese of Lincoln for a response but no one was available to comment by the time of going to press.

The Daniels boss singled out captain Paul Malone for harsh criticism following Monday’s game at Spalding United.
We knew what we would be playing against, we knew exactly where Wells would run so Malone has got to look at himself after that performance. Graham Drury
Malone allowed the Tulips’ prolific marksman Bradley Wells to score twice following an early opener from Ryan Robbins.
Malone was taken off at half-time and Drury expects a response from his players after the 2-1 defeat – starting with Thursday’s training session and Saturday’s trip to St Neots Town in the Emirates FA Cup first qualifying round.
Drury said: “Malone didn’t pick his man up and he got both goals.
“He knew his job and responsibility in this game. He’s disappointed and so am I.
“We went 1-0 up and took control but Malone knows his role in terms of organisation and set-plays. He didn’t do his job so that’s why he was taken off at half-time. No excuses.
“We knew what we would be playing against, we knew exactly where Wells would run so Malone has got to look at himself after that performance.
“We made a great start as Robbins looked sharp with a good finish but then we didn’t kick on after that.
“We switched off and gave them belief. We finished the first half strongly and Delroy Gordon should have scored just before the break. At 2-2 it might have been a different story.
“Spalding deserved three points. It’s not pretty by them but Wells is a handful who I let go as a manager so that was a bad choice. He was more of a threat than my forwards.
“Spalding are good at what they do. Dave Frecklington has been in this league for a couple of years. He doesn’t want to play from the back so they try to win those second balls and turn you around. It works for them and fair play.
“We’ve got to put it right quickly but games don’t come much tougher than a cup tie against a side from a league above.” | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/sport/football/derby-day-drury-s-despair-as-stamford-captain-blamed-for-defeat-1-7550011 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/808d4892625fd6bfbae71c4b80ef661b8f0913bc041ea4eedf76e067f755785a.json |

The Daniels went ahead after just 80 seconds at the Sir Halley Stewart Field on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon.
Peter Denton’s goal-kick was flicked on for Ryan Robbins to slot the ball beyond Michael Duggan into the bottom corner of the net.
The Tulips were level on eight minutes as Wells headed home Paul Walker’s assist.
Spalding took control with Wells’ eighth goal in just five appearances, slotting home from close range following Matt Varley’s long throw-in.
Delroy Gordon should have levelled in first-half stoppage-time but Stamford struggled to create chances after the break.
Mixed emotions on the final whistle
Tom Batchelor was fortunate to escape a red card for an apparent stamp on Wells who went close to completing his hat-trick, only to be denied by Denton at the end.

The company is seeking consent to move from St John’s Road and build a showroom on land east of Elsoms Way, close to the Wardentree Lane/West Marsh Road roundabout, and to open a service centre on land north of Wardentree Lane.
The company’s agents, Lindum Group, have drawn up plans and submitted them to South Holland District Council.
The agents say: “As the main business park area of Spalding, Wardentree Lane provides a hub which is geared not only to the very strong food and transport related environment, but also other ancillary companies who provide services to industry and the South Holland area as well as Spalding generally.
“The proposal would see the relocation of the existing dealership on St John’s Road in Spalding to the proposed new site on Wardentree Lane.”
Lindum say EMG has looked at other possible sites but found “considerable difficulty” in finding somewhere suitable and the proposed move would bring the “obvious benefits of retaining jobs and associated inward investment” in the Spalding area.
The move is expected to create a further four full-time jobs, taking the total to 32. | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/news/latest-news/spalding-motorr-dealership-in-move-to-pinchbeck-1-7554600 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/3883fbc7dde813e2984960a0ce0460337b32581b88def6bde68f099bd2842ae5.json |

We have just returned from three days at Moira Furnace Folk Festival in North Leicestershire.
Despite the changeable weather this small, but perfectly formed festival lived up to our expectations. The stage marquees are of a manageable size, giving the audience a more intimate rapport with the artists, and the quality of the line-up was very high.
Particular favourites were the evergreen Marie Little – still passionately putting her songs over – and Irish Australian Enda Kenny, who skilfully engaged festival-goers with his insightful, original songs – sometimes gently amusing, sometimes heart-wrenchingly poignant. Also on view were past Spalding Folk Club guests Anna Shannon, Joe Topping (with Elbow Jane), Greg Russell & Ciaran Algar and Kim Lowings & the Greenwood.
Spalding’s next guest on Wednesday, September 7 is Tom McConville and, looking back over the years, this will be his ninth visit. Tom was born and raised on Tyneside among the Irish and Scottish communities and was immersed in their traditional music. He started out playing and singing in the ’70s in the folk clubs of the North East, turning professional in 1974, and has toured extensively ever since. He has performed and collaborated with such folk musicians as Bob Fox, Pauline Cato, Kieran Halpin and, more recently, David Newey and Shona Kipling. He rates among the best fiddle players in the British Isles and, coupled with his fine singing voice and dry humour, we are expecting a great night.
Other folk events start tonight (8pm) with a concert at Stamford Arts Centre with Ten Strings and a Goat Skin. From Prince Edward Island, Canada, their music is a mixture of original and traditional influenced by their roots.
Also tonight at the Last Thursday Acoustic Club, Arts Coritani, Swineshead (8pm), the unusual guest is Dante Ferrara. He describes himself as a costumed minstrel specialising in Reformation Humour accompanied by Renaissance instruments.
There is a song and music session at the Castle Inn, Castle Bytham, on Sunday (7.30pm). On Monday, the Pig and Whistle, Market Place, Swineshead, hosts a tune and song session (8pm).
First Fridays Singaround is at the Wishing Well, Dyke, next Friday, September 2 (8pm) and on Tuesday, September 6 there is the Masons Folk and Acoustic Club at the Mason’s Arms, Bourne (8pm). | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/what-s-on/lifestyle-and-leisure/folk-music-in-spalding-and-district-1-7540268 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/8b8378950c0d732c9c5831f92e511e15dba7aabf32c33c41f98d5f7b53b5a2cf.json |

Awarded to the member who records a time closest to their season’s fastest time (SB), it recognises consistency rather than speed for those who qualify.
Kieran Buffham
One of the smallest fields to sign on and one of the windiest evenings of the year meant that this race and round 10 was going to be hard fought.
From a field of 10 club members and two guests, just eight qualified for the Fisherman’s Arms Trophy – a disappointing turnout but perhaps a sign that others were wanting to have fresh legs for the 10-mile Club Championship.
At the head of the field for the round 10 result Andy Bowser finished on 23:01 – two seconds quicker than the previous week on an arguably tougher night with a gusting head wind on the return leg.
Second place went to Ross McGivern who posted 24:35 while third-placed Mark Hills was 36 seconds slower than last week, crossing the line with 25:37.
Ross McGivern
The final classification for the Fisherman’s Arms Trophy saw a reversal of places one and two with McGivern on top spot just three seconds off his season’s best, over 1:30 faster than his 2015 ride time of 26:09.
Bowser’s time was eight seconds slower than his SB but 1:53 quicker than the 24:54 for sixth place recorded in 2015.
First lady for Round 10 and in the Fisherman’s Arms Trophy for the second year running, Sarah Bentley’s 28:32 was yet another strong ride 23 seconds quicker than in round nine.
Natasha Tooley, the only other lady competing, pushed hard to get close but was four seconds down with 28:36, this was 1:12 faster than her 2015 ride time in the Fishermans’ Arms Trophy.
A dead heat finish between Kieran Buffham and Chris Bettinson of 27:31 put them in fourth overall in the round 10 result.
For Buffham this was a personal best ride while defending Fisherman’s Arms Trophy champion Bettinson occupied fourth overall in that competition.
Of the other members who qualified to count in the Fisherman’s Arms Trophy results, Barry Drew completed the course in 29:36 and Derek Chamberlain stopped on 32 minutes.
Sam Bentley’s 28:42 marked a welcome return and may be an indication of a fine ride in the championship event.
Guests, though fewer in number than previous weeks, posted some great times with former club members Bryn and Gareth Richards of Bourne Wheelers posting 25:29 and 26:10. | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/sport/other-sport/cycling-mcgivern-takes-top-spot-1-7539936 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/f723036f4f735c764fffebb2daaafb270c6ff81b6a49627ab3617ab46bf46484.json |

According to the Silicon Valley billionaires who created the likes of Facebook and Twitter, which have become part of the fabric of many people’s daily lives, the founding principle of such sites was to bring people together, empowering them and connecting the world.
Sadly, this dark side to social media is increasingly prevalent, with barely a day passing without countless examples in the national papers about online abuse, trolling and even death threats being levelled at those in the public eye.
Certainly, there are those who benefit from social media; for some they are a form of escape from the mundane and prosaic. However it’s time to acknowledge that social media has harmfully blurred the lines between what is said in the virtual world and what happens in the real one.
Whereas in the past those with extreme opinions or peculiar theories were obliged to rely on obscure publications to gain a wider audience, the Internet enables an easy means of gaining attention for those that don’t warrant it. The simplicity of connectivity – messages typed from smartphones or tablets - lull some into thinking that what they say on the Internet is confined to cyberspace. Others are deceived by the mirage of anonymity; the misassumption that they can safely type cruel or hateful things while remaining undiscovered.
Sadly, this dark side to social media is increasingly prevalent, with barely a day passing without countless examples in the national papers about online abuse, trolling and even death threats being levelled at those in the public eye.
This toxicity has been especially conspicuous in the world of politics with some of my colleagues being subjected to distressing online abuse. The principal responsibility for this lies with the perpetrator themselves, but the very character of social media creates a culture which normalises that which would have once being regarded as crass, base and unacceptable.
Social networks devalue political discourse by providing an echo chamber, where certain people look only for news and opinion which confirms to their prejudices. So, they associate only with their ideological compatriots. At its worst this exaggerates resentment, outrage and dissolution which sometimes spills over into the offline world, with potentially serious and frightening consequences.
This Government has already changed the law to get tough on online abuse, but we all have a responsibility to reclaim public discourse from the perpetrators of the vulgar, the vile and the vitriolic. Displacing measured contemplation by brutalising political exchanges is not desirable nor inevitable, for there is much to learn from those with whom we disagree. | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/news/latest-news/hayes-in-the-house-how-social-media-has-blurred-the-lines-by-mp-john-hayes-1-7549468 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/a85bb57d389788a89e709df54c8b6042b3254bb82f1b121c6c9a812135117f92.json |

Michael Coughtrey, from Spalding, was accused of abusing the youngsters on occasions when he went to pick up his wife who had worked at the home in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.
His Old Bailey trial was told that one of the girls had complained to staff at the time but did not feel that she would be “supported or believed”.
Police launched an investigation in 2014 after a second alleged victim recognised a former staff member of the Woolmer Drive home at a Sainsbury’s checkout and was advised to go to authorities.
After Mr Coughtrey was arrested in March last year, he told police that his wife had worked at the home and he would often visit to collect her.
While there he would read stories to the children and recalled the girls sitting on his lap, but denied sexually assaulting them, saying he would have had a book in his hands.
The jury deliberated for more than six hours to find Mr Coughtrey, not guilty of six counts of indecent assault.
The verdict was delivered today (Wednesday). | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/news/latest-news/spalding-pensioner-not-guilty-of-molesting-young-girls-1-7554496 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/81ebe96cd91daaf6f1ea747ffd7f3cff332a15987744a59ccadbfd5845ffbbd0.json |

The Tigers take on Division One side Long Buckby in the Knockout Cup at Carter’s Park on Saturday.
Having lost on penalties in last season’s final, Holbeach are hoping to go one better this time.
Boss Tom Roberts said: “We will always respect the opposition but if we take care of ourselves then you would have to fancy our chances of winning at home.
“Long Buckby have started well but you never know what they have got in their ranks.
“We have also begun well so we go into Saturday’s game looking to build on that.
“The new signings have all settled in very quickly and done a good job for us while getting to know each other.”
Holbeach’s victory away to Kirkley & Pakefield was the third time in five games where the Tigers have scored four goals.
In the Emirates FA Cup first qualifying round a week on Saturday, they will be away to Dereham Town who beat Yaxley 1-0 in Tuesday night’s replay.
Captain Jamie Stevens is banned this weekend but Stuart Eason is expected to be fit, Jake Clitheroe returns to the squad and Jordan Thomas is looking to be involved after taking part in full training. | http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/sport/football/football-holbeach-united-begin-hunt-for-knockout-cup-glory-1-7542300 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/241d20e35cacc3903e3b60fefbea6ed5864a001d15aacd20e305154ac44cb088.json |

Summer signings Bradley Wells (2) and Andy Wright got the Tulips’ second-half goals at Bury Town to book a trip to Mickleover Sports.
Boss Dave Frecklington said: “It was a great performance, particularly in the second half against a good footballing Bury team.
“We did well to hold them off against a fierce wind in the first half and then virtually took them apart with some excellent play after the break.
“We set out our tactics during the break and these were executed superbly. I’m dead chuffed.”
Luke Avis on the ball for Deeping
Scott Mooney’s double earned a 2-1 home win for Rangers over Ryman League club Wroxham.
In the next round Deeping will face Gresley at the Haydon Whitham Stadium.
Manager Michael Goode said: “We are all absolutely delighted.
“It feels like a bit of weight off our shoulders simply because our form has not been brilliant.

“In the first half we were the better side and we created good chances.
“It was a very poor goal to give away to make it 1-1 but we puffed out our chests and went on to win it.
“The performance had a bit of everything – quality football, two clinical finishes from Scott Mooney and robust defending around the 18-yard box when we had our backs to the wall in the second half.”
The Tigers must wait for Tuesday night’s replay between Yaxley and Dereham Town to discover their hosts.
