sCharity Quiz for Aspire<br />

On the 18th August 2018, I will be taking part in a truly gruelling event.<br />

SWIMMING THE SOLENT<br />

From Fort Gilkicker, at Gosport to Ryde Sands on the Isle of Wight. I’ll swim a<br />

distance between 2.3 and 3 miles, depending on the wind and the tide. Not only<br />

is it a long way to swim, but I’ll have to keep out of the way of sailing boats,<br />

ferries and jellysh!<br />

I am undertaking this almighty challenge in aid of Aspire, a charity dedicated to<br />

*<br />

supporting individuals who have suered life changing spinal injuries. I’ve set<br />

myself a fundraising target of £1500.00 and you can make a donation by visiting<br />

www.justgiving.com/fundraising/swimrobynswim<br />

As part of my fund raising eorts I’m hosting a Quiz night on Saturday 12th<br />

May at the Village Hall in South Woodham Ferrers. There is a bar available to<br />

help power those brain cells and your welcome to bring your own nibbles. Not<br />

only is it a chance to show o how clever you are but it’s an opportunity to win<br />

some great prizes in the ra e.<br />

Tickets are just £5 per person, so why not make up a team, as large or as small<br />

as you fancy, and come along for a great night out, in aid of a good cause.<br />

City Council seeks<br />

Chelmsford’s<br />

Champions<br />

Chelmsford City Council is now accepting award<br />

nominations for people who go the extra mile to look<br />

after their local environment.<br />

The Chelmsford Champions awards have been<br />

developed to recognise and thank the extraordinary<br />

individuals that make Chelmsford officially the Best<br />

Place to Live in the East of England (Sunday<br />

Times).<br />

Open to anyone who lives in Chelmsford and the<br />

surrounding borough, the scheme invites<br />

nominations for those who have demonstrated<br />

commitment to making a positive difference to their<br />

neighbourhood. This could be anything from litter<br />

picking and planting flowers to doing something<br />

creative or leading others to get stuck into improving<br />

their local area. Prizes will be presented to the<br />

selected Champions at a special ceremony in<br />

August.<br />

The awards are part of Love Your Chelmsford, a<br />

programme that celebrates the local environment<br />

and provides opportunities for residents to get<br />

involved, including river clean-ups, volunteering, fun<br />

events and competitions.<br />

Councillor Malcolm Sismey, Cabinet Member<br />

responsible for Love Your Chelmsford, said, “We<br />

know that there are wonderful people in every<br />

community who go out of their way to make their<br />

local area as attractive, welcoming and pleasant as<br />

possible. These awards are a way of thanking those<br />

residents. I look forward to reading the entries and<br />

I encourage as many nominations as possible.”<br />

The closing date for nominations is Saturday 30<br />

June. To nominate a Community Champion, please<br />

email the Love Your Chelmsford team at<br />

lyc@chelmsford.gov.uk, call 01245 615800 or<br />

message @LoveYourChelmsford on Facebook.<br />

The Light<br />

There is a saying – “You can choose your friends, but we can`t choose our families”. This is true; we<br />

hope that our family members are caring, loving and supportive, but know, that in this world, it can<br />

go both ways.<br />

Most can agree that nurturing parents who seek to teach, listen, encourage and provide good<br />

examples to their children give them the best start. They then, engage with the wider world through<br />

-#(#%%$).//&<br />

school and work and make friends that, hopefully, will nurture further that growth into an adult.<br />

The cycle then continues. Unfortunately, this isn`t always the case, and for a multitude of reasons the family can<br />

break apart. We cannot always know how things may turn out with family or friends.<br />

The church understands the value of family, a fellowship gathered around a” father figure” – God. The relationships<br />

we seek in our lives we hope to be reliable, honest, attentive to our needs however we may feel whether in a good<br />

or bad mood. This is the sign of a loving relationship that will last and will grow and learn from.<br />

If we are fortunate we may have this in our family, friends or both. But what if we are feeling alienated, not loved<br />

or cared for – whether we deserve it or not. God is faithful and forgiving. He listens and encourages us to talk to<br />

him, with each other, and to share Him with everyone. Through Him we are Love, Joy and Peace – for that is what<br />

He said, Jesus did, and we all can do.<br />

!"#$%&'"($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$<br />

There is no need for anyone to feel that they are not part of a family. I knew a man in a prison where I worked,<br />

where, through a number of repeat offences, he removed many<br />

relationships from around himself – family, friends, home, job, selfesteem.<br />

He said that it was just him left – this was not the case. God`s<br />

reach is long, and he recovered and started again.<br />

Millwood WI - The WI for inspiring women<br />

Our April<br />

meeting was<br />

our Annual<br />

G e n e r a l<br />

Meeting and<br />

Resolutions.<br />

Jan Nash was<br />

our WI advisor<br />

and she<br />

convened at<br />

our meeting.<br />

Jan is<br />

president of<br />

Billericay WI<br />

and enjoys gardening, she described the job of treasurer as the root of<br />

the plant, the job of secretary as the stem and the president as the<br />

flower. Our president Yvonne Frost decided to stand down after seven<br />

and a half years and Julia presented her with a beautiful pot plant as a<br />

thank you from all of us. Yvonne thanked all the committee for all their<br />

hard work over the last twelve months. We had a ballot and four people<br />

were nominated to be president and three out of four declined. Anne<br />

Turner accepted and will be our new president. Caroline has agreed to<br />

go on committee and will take over from Anne as treasurer. The rest of<br />

the committee have decided to stay on for another year and Susan<br />

Martin has agreed to go on committee.<br />

We then went on to our resolutions, and this year we only had one<br />

resolution this year to vote on. Yvonne explained to our newer members<br />

how important resolutions are and the history of them. One of the most<br />

famous ones was 'The Keep Britain Tidy’ campaign. Any member can put<br />

forward a resolution. 15,000 were put forward last year. A committee<br />

looks through them and eventually we have a short list which comes out<br />

in November. In January each WI selects the one they would most like to<br />

go forward and in April we all vote on it and then it goes to National in<br />

June and finally parliament. This years resolution is Mental Health<br />

Matters.The importance of parity between mental health and physical<br />

health illness and to lobby the government for better support for mental<br />

health and to make it acceptable to talk about mental health issues<br />

Yvonne went on to read the pros and cons. We then voted and we had<br />

the same number of votes for and against the resolution and no one<br />

abstained so it was a split vote.<br />

Traidcraft had a stall with a good selection of fair trade items to buy.<br />

Our Forth Coming Events<br />

We have a team ready for the first round of The County WI Quiz which<br />

is on Friday 1st June in Maldon<br />

On the 22nd of May we have an afternoon outing for a behind the<br />

scenes tour and talk at Chalkwell Auction Rooms<br />

On 19th September we have a theatre trip at The Palace theatre<br />

Westcliffe to see Ellio Pace and his band playing ‘The Billy Joel Song<br />

book’<br />

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 23rd May at Champions Manor Hall<br />

7.30pm for a 7.45pm start. Our speaker is Sarah Ventris with a talk titled<br />

’The Colour and Style Presentation’<br />

New members are always welcome just come along.<br />

MEDICAL TRAINING: The Mirror headline screams: "More than 1,000<br />

junior doctors have job offers WITHDRAWN after IT blunder causing<br />

“extreme anxiety.” Many were in the process of moving home and<br />

switching kids’ schools after being offered permanent hospital posts<br />

last month."<br />

An article by Andrew Gregory, Political Editor, tells us that: "As many<br />

as 1,500 junior doctors offered posts as registrars are feared to have<br />

had their job offers withdrawn." The Royal College of Physicians<br />

(RCP) discovered some candidates had been given the wrong<br />

interview marks due to an error in transferring data from one<br />

computer program to another." We're told: "The British Medical<br />

Association said it was “appalled” to learn of the blunder, warning<br />

it had caused “extreme anxiety” for trainees." So it's back to the<br />

drawing board ... whilst all the poor docs can do is sit tight and wait.<br />

This is not the first time that junior hospital doctors have been badly<br />

treated, of course. You'll recall that Hunt clashed with the junior<br />

doctors over his 'new contract, which caused some to leave and left<br />

the rest dispirited and bitter.<br />

And there have been similar blunders with the training program.<br />

When my daughter, Laura, set out on the path which eventually lead<br />

to consultant status, a lot of her friends were less fortunate. Sarah<br />

Hall reported the cock up made by Liam Donaldson, the then chief<br />

medical officer in The Guardian back in July 2007 - a blunder which<br />

the BMA's then acting chairman, Sam Everington, condemned as<br />

'the "scandal" of thousands of doctors contemplating leaving<br />

medicine or going abroad.'<br />

She added: "One in five juniors affected is feeling increasingly<br />

suicidal and 94% have felt higher stress levels during the six months<br />

covering the application and interview process, according to<br />

research published in the British Medical Journal online. Hospitals<br />

have been told to be on suicide alert.<br />

Much of this fury is due to the mismatch between training posts and<br />

applicants, and the uncertainty this is causing. Department of Health<br />

(DH) figures reveal that doctors are chasing 18,391 training posts -<br />

with 29,193 applying for 15,600 in England. A total of 2,320 posts<br />

will be on offer in a second round of applications, but at least 12,000<br />

eligible junior doctors will remain without posts and will instead<br />

have to seek work abroad, leave medicine, or remain in staff-grade<br />

jobs, which will not allow them to become consultants and are often<br />

seen as career dead-ends."<br />

Laura's colleagues were treated as a commodity - rather like a tins of<br />

peas on a supermarket shelf - instead of being dealt with sensitively<br />

- like human beings with needs, aspirations and feelings. The sort of<br />

thing that happened all too often was that a married couple who<br />

had bought a flat on Edinburgh would end up with one being given<br />

a job in Aberdeen whilst the other ended up in Truro ... and the jobs<br />

they got were not always in the specialty for which they'd applied.<br />

My therapist told me that a great way to let go of your anger is to<br />

write letters to people you hate and then burn them. I did that,<br />

and I feel much better, but I'm wondering ... do I keep the letters?<br />

It was ever thus. Junior hospital docs have always had a hard time. I<br />

see Prof Harold Ellis is, in his dotage, currently advertising hearing<br />

aids in the newspapers ... a bit of a comedown for one of Britain's<br />

leading surgeons. I hope he's giving the money to a good cause.<br />

Where was I? Ah yes ... the Prof's housemen (a term applied to<br />

women docs as well as 'men' in these days) used to work a 'one in<br />

one.' So, in theory at least, that meant you were on call continually<br />

- day and night - for 6 months.<br />

Prof Ellis wrote an excellent surgical textbook with Prof Roy Yorke<br />

Calne, the well known surgeon and transplant pioneer, for whom I<br />

worked in Cambridge. His house job was a 'one in two' which meant<br />

that you got alternate nights off - unless he was doing a liver<br />

transplant (which was of such interest that you voluntarily stayed up<br />

all night to see the great man at work.) He wasn't averse to 'bread<br />

and butter' surgery, mind you - after a night in theatres spent<br />

transplanting a liver, I set to work in on his morning list the little<br />

ante-room where the anaesthetists put people to sleep before<br />

settling down to do The Times crossword. The first case was bilateral<br />

in-growing toenails, which could safely be done in this 'ante-room'<br />

and which, for reasons I don't recall, were being done under a<br />

general anaesthetic. I looked up to see the Prof doing the other toe.<br />

If I ever find out the name of the surgeon that screwed up my limb<br />

transplant, I'll kill him ... with my bear hands.<br />

The 'one in two' was OK on weekdays but weekends were a chore -<br />

you'd start work on Friday morning and work right through to<br />

Monday evening without a break (often taking on responsibilities<br />

which were way above and beyond anything your training had<br />

prepared you for.) You might snatch a few hours sleep - but a not<br />

infrequent occurrence was that you'd get to bed at, say, 2.30am only<br />

to get a call from a staff nurse at 3.30 asking you to come over to one<br />

of the wards to write Mr Jones up for a sleeping tablet! Our theory<br />

was that the nurses, who worked a shift system, couldn't envisage a<br />

set-up whereby the docs were sleep deprived for long periods - so it<br />

was OK to do that sort of thing. I love nurses - I married one, after<br />

all, and they are the powerhouse of my practice - but I'm afraid that,<br />

in the wee small hours, I did subscribe to this theory.<br />

We were paid a pittance for working what was often a 100+ hr week<br />

... but it was good training for my experience in General Practice in<br />

the last decade or so during which successive PCTs tried their level<br />

best to close the practice by squeezing us until the pips squeaked. As<br />

ever, the patients were mere canon-fodder in the games that the<br />

managers, those supposedly entrusted with their health and<br />

wellbeing, like to play.<br />

Doc to patient: "You have the body of a twenty-year-old, but you<br />

should return it. You're stretching it completely out of shape."<br />

The first encounter with the weird world of medical training begins<br />

long before your days as a junior doctor. I made my choice because<br />

I 'overheard' Mrs Dale‘s Diary which my Mum used to listen to 'on<br />

the wireless' and it all sounded very civilised. Dr Dale always seemed<br />

to be able to go home for a leisurely tea in the afternoon. The<br />

scriptwriter had either never had any experience at all of General<br />

Practice or it was VERY different in those days!<br />

Adam Kay in his wonderful book 'This is Going to Hurt' talks about<br />

the application process: "Because all medical schools are<br />

oversubscribed ten-fold all candidates must be interviewed with only<br />

those who perform best under a grilling being awarded a place. It’s<br />

assumed all applicants are on course for straight A’s at A-level so<br />

universities base their decisions on non-academic criteria. This, of<br />

course, make sense: a doctor must be psychologically fit for the job<br />

– able to make decisions under a terrifying amount of pressure, able<br />

to break bad news to anguished relatives, able to deal with death on<br />

a daily basis. They must have something that cannot be memorised<br />

and graded: a great doctor must have a huge heart and a distended<br />

aorta through which pumps a vast lake of compassion and human<br />

kindness.<br />

At least that’s what you'd think. In reality, medical schools don’t give<br />

the shiniest shit about any of that. They don’t even check you are<br />

OK with the sight of blood. Instead they fixate on extra-curricular<br />

activities. Their ideal student is captain of two sports teams, the<br />

county swimming champion, leader of the youth orchestra and<br />

editor of the school newspaper. It’s basically a Miss Congeniality<br />

contest without the sash. Look at the Wikipedia entry for any<br />

famous doctor and you’ll see: “He proved himself an accomplished<br />

rugby player in youth leagues. He excelled as a distance runner and<br />

in his final year at school was vice captain of the athletics team.”<br />

This particular description is of a certain Dr H Shipman, so perhaps<br />

it’s not a rock solid system."<br />

When I applied for a place at medical school, my first interview was<br />

at St George's - the old hospital at Hyde Park Corner. I was asked to<br />

wait in the PA's office - and she was a very attractive young lady with<br />

a degree of mammary hyperplasia. I was eventually ushered through<br />

to meet the Dean and his question was: "As a doctor it's very<br />

important to be observant so, tell me, what did you notice in the<br />

office whilst you were waiting to see me?" I went bright red and<br />

started muttering incoherently. Needless to say, I was not offered a<br />

place.<br />

NEWS FROM ST. MARY’S CHURCH, WOODHAM FERRERS<br />

It’s a busy time at St. Mary’s Church prompting me to let people<br />

know the latest news and dates for your diary.<br />

On June 2nd we are holding a Churchyard Tidy Up session from<br />

10 – 12 noon. Everyone is welcome to come along with their<br />

gardening tools, petrol mowers and strimmers or perhaps help<br />

rub down and oil one of our benches. We will provide a warm<br />

welcome and refreshments to all comers. There is another Tidy<br />

Up day scheduled for September 29th also between 10 and 12<br />

noon if you want to organise your diary well in advance.<br />

St. Mary’s recently completed some more tree work in the<br />

Churchyard. We have saved the logs which are seasoning nicely<br />

and will be available in October at £70 a load<br />

delivered. All proceeds go into the Friends of<br />

St. Mary’s fund to support the upkeep of the<br />

fabric.<br />

Due to the beautiful display of bulbs and the<br />

wet weather the grass is always a bit longer<br />

throughout April and May and it seems to grow<br />

while we are watching it. St. Mary’s benefits<br />

from regular Community Payback team visits to<br />

help with the maintenance. We schedule these<br />

visits from month to month and if anyone<br />

would be interested in joining us on these days<br />

please get in touch so I can notify you when the<br />

next date is. We continue to work hard to bring<br />

the Churchyard back within the Diocesan<br />

regulations. Gardens are not permitted, just<br />

grass, bulbs and fresh flowers. Wreaths can be<br />

placed on the anniversary of a loved ones<br />

passing as well as at Christmas and Easter. By<br />

enforcing these regulations the Churchyard is a<br />

tidier and safer place to visit. There is further<br />

guidance on the Diocesan regulations in the<br />

Church Porch and I am always happy to discuss this further.<br />

On July 7th we will be delighted to welcome the Essex Police<br />

Choir to perform. The concert starts at 7.30 p.m. – 10 p.m.<br />

During the interval homemade refreshments will be served<br />

when our local accordion player Keith Taylor has agreed to<br />

serenade us again. Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for children<br />

under 12 or members of Friends of St. Mary’s. For further details<br />

go on the St. Mary’s website or call me on the number below.<br />

Funds raised will go towards the Bell tower restoration project.<br />

St. Mary’s was delighted to recently receive a grant of £500 from<br />

Allchurches Trust towards the cost of our replacement lead<br />

alarm. The lead alarm is necessary to be insurance compliant<br />

and offers excellent protection. The latest model is a significant<br />

upgrade on the old one which was at the end of its useful life.<br />

St. Mary’s continues to open on a Tuesday morning from 10 – 12<br />

noon while the cleaning team get busy. Once again we<br />

welcome visitors and serve refreshments. The church will also be<br />

open for the first Sunday afternoons in the months of June, July,<br />

August and September followed by an Evensong service.<br />

Go to www.stmaryschurchwoodhamferrers.org.uk for more<br />

details.<br />

To help raise additional funds St. Mary’s continues to collect<br />

inkjet cartridges, old mobile phones, laser and toner cartridges.<br />

There is a recycling box in the Church. We just received our first<br />

payment of £28 from Recycle4Charity for inkjet cartridges. This<br />

week I have posted our first batch of 21 phones to them. You<br />

can find out more about this scheme on line. So if you can lay<br />

your hands on any of these items we would love to hear from<br />

you. If you can’t get to church we will be happy to collect them.<br />

EYOTT OPEN DAY<br />

23<br />

What a great Open Day Eyott Sailing Club had on May 5th thank you everyone for<br />

making it such a fantastic day! The clubhouse and grounds looked great, the<br />

weather was perfect, and there was a buzz about the club with members young<br />

and old welcoming our visitors and enjoying the day. Everywhere people were<br />

smiling and having a great time sailing and enjoying the BBQ or ice-cream.<br />

Hopefully they will be telling all their friends what a lovely day they had; and we<br />

see some of them again soon. If you missed it, our next taster Day 26th May at<br />

10:45. To reserve a place ring Alan 01245 322282 and one of our experienced<br />

helms will take you for a sail<br />

FOOTBALL FOR ADULTS<br />

I organise casual football matches for adults on the 3G pitches at<br />

the William de Ferrers Sports Centre. If you are like me and want<br />

to play football but don’t want the commitment of playing for<br />

a club then get in touch. The idea is just to enjoy a game and get<br />

some exercise at the same time.<br />

We play every Tuesday night in all-weather between 9pm-10pm<br />

and hire half of the full size pitch closest to the centre itself. The<br />

cost is £5 on the night.<br />

The sports centre run a strict cancellation policy which means I<br />

need to give them 15 days’ notice if we do not have enough<br />

players and want to cancel, otherwise I still have to pay. For that<br />

reason I need to ask players to confirm availability in advance<br />

and ask that you avoid dropping out.<br />

If you are interested contact Andy on 07754 890188 or email<br />

SWFU FC U15 LIONS 2 – 1 WRITTLE MINORS U15 GREENS.<br />

BLACKWATER AND DENGIE U15 DIVISION THREE ‘LEAGUE CUP FINAL’.<br />

‘League Cup Final’ games are always special occasions and ‘SWFU<br />

FC U15 Lions’ know this better than anyone!<br />

This was the third consecutive season the Lions had overcome<br />

tough competition on their journey to the ‘League Cup Final’.<br />

But this time – it was different! The Lions had already been<br />

crowned ‘undefeated League Champions’ and were coming into<br />

the match as favourites. Writtle had also enjoyed a successful<br />

season. Whatever the result, this was going to be a display of<br />

grassroots football at it’s finest!<br />

Arriving relaxed and confident at ‘Burnham Ramblers FC’ in their<br />

executive coach – each Lion was professionally dressed in white<br />

shirt, black trousers and red tie. The boys then made their way<br />

to the changing rooms for their usual team banter and lastminute<br />

instructions from their coaches Andy, Wayne and Darren.<br />

The Lions’ loyal army of family and supporters were already in<br />

the stands, anticipating what the next eighty minutes of action<br />

would bring.<br />

Both teams made their way to the pitch and wished each other<br />

well, with welcome encouragement ringing from the stands.<br />

Writtle gained the upper hand in the first half, by netting the<br />

first goal. The Lions showed great character in the second by<br />

knuckling down and showing the Greens why they were League<br />

Champions.<br />

Joe S fired home the equaliser. Sam B was brought down and<br />

taken to hospital with a suspected break (fortunately after an X-<br />

Ray, this wasn’t the case). The Lions supporter’s nerves were<br />

literally being ripped to shreds with the drama unfolding on the<br />

pitch. Tom ‘H’ gave them a sigh of relief when he put the Lions<br />

ahead with a cracking shot. After some tense final minutes, the<br />

referee’s whistle brought the end to a superb Cup Final.<br />

Many congratulations to both teams, for giving their all in an<br />

outstanding display of the beautiful game. Well done lads!<br />

SWFU U15 Lions are: Sam B, Josh B, Will C, Callum C, James D,<br />

Alex G, Tom ‘H’, Dan L, Morgan L, Edward M (Capt), Martin N,<br />

HARD-WORKING WANDERERS WARRANT A VALIANT DRAW<br />

After spending most of the winter kicking their heels waiting for a game,<br />

now that summer has arrived South Woodham Ferrers United under 13<br />

Wanderers were facing their fourth match in eight days. The contrast in<br />

temperature from the previous week was remarkable for the Saturday<br />

fixture against Basildon Town Pumas, who were looking to climb to<br />

second spot in division A. The game opened with Tom F putting in a<br />

battling performance down the wing to dodge a barrage of tackles from<br />

ten-man Pumas. Alfie’s composed tackle and through ball gave Tom F<br />

another chance before a slick pass which Luke converted to put<br />

Wanderers ahead. Things were looking positive until Pumas’ eleventh<br />

man arrived on the scene: akin to Rashford’s taller, faster brother he<br />

weaved through a sea of red shirts to win a penalty which was converted<br />

to pull the scores even. Pumas executed an impressive passing sequence<br />

which drew an outstanding save before forging ahead on a counterattack<br />

after some promising Wanderers’ play. Mack put in a thoughtful<br />

ball, but Harry could not get his shot away with sufficient power to beat<br />

the lively keeper. Mack charged forwards again but was thwarted by the<br />

well-organised defence. Tom F and Harry combined effectively to surge<br />

forwards, with Harry’s powerful shot drawing a fingertip save. Under<br />

pressure, Daniel’s marvellous clearance was perfectly placed for Tom F to<br />

convert past the onrushing keeper to pull the scores level.<br />

The intensity of tackles increased after the break: a resulting Pumas’ free<br />

kick drew a grasping save, then the late-coming midfield powered<br />

forwards and bravely coming out, Wanderers’ keeper saved the ball with<br />

his feet but was injured in the process. As has been familiar in recent<br />

matches, Charlie R confidently donned the purple shirt and gloves and his<br />

initial rocket of a goal kick found Jacob, whose polished pass Harry just<br />

couldn’t convert. Tom H was poleaxed but the ref played on, with the<br />

sensible Pumas’ defender shouting for the whistle, then with only eleven<br />

players left standing, unusually, rock-solid Will was taken down, followed<br />

by wedding-bound Charlie W. Wanderers of old might have been<br />

intimidated by the physicality of the opposition, but the present bunch<br />

are grittier and more determined: Will’s free kick tested the keeper while<br />

Matthew demonstrated admirable defensive nerve throughout the half.<br />

Mack pressed forwards again with a sensational run and pass which the<br />

defender hoofed away from Harry, Tom F’s shot was saved while Will’s<br />

skimmed the bar. Pumas pressed on: Daniel, Luke and Mack all made<br />

important clearances to spur Wanderers on to attack: Alfie made a great<br />

run but Mack’s resulting shot sailed over the bar, Will’s free kick just<br />

curled over the bar, followed by his free kick saved, as was Mack’s<br />

whipping cross. Neither team was willing to concede the match and the<br />

resulting two-all draw lifted the delighted Wanderers to the dizzy<br />

heights of sixth in the league and away from the drop zone. Phew!<br />

Squad: Alfie, Charlie R, Charlie W, Daniel, Harry, Jacob, Luke, Mack,<br />

Matthew, Sam, Tom F, Tom H, Will<br />

Under 8's At Saracen's Festival 5th May<br />

25<br />

A 33 strong squad of players, parents and siblings turned<br />

up at Allianz Park for a Festival before the Saracens vs<br />

Gloucester game.<br />

The weather was terrific, the ground was perfect, and the<br />

rugby was fast and furious.<br />

The Squad was Alfie, Brad, Hayden, Katie, Keith, Logan,<br />

Luca, Noah, Ollie, Reighly, and Thea. 6-a-side. 12 minute<br />

games.<br />

We played teams from Gloucester, Folkestone, Hertford,<br />

and Chelmsford. The Team played well in each game, and<br />

at times the passing and interplay brought even bigger<br />

cheers from the supporters on the side. Great to play in,<br />

great to watch. Every player did well on the day.<br />

At the end of the tournament the players had the pleasure<br />

of lining up in front of their supporters and ceremoniously<br />

removing and throwing their tag belts away. It's contact<br />

from now on! The readiness for contact is unbelievable.<br />

The squad got time with some Saracen's academy players.<br />

Everyone got the opportunity to get photo's and<br />

autographs from some of the best players in the world.<br />

Owen Farrell, Mako and Billy Vunipola, Essex's own<br />

Jackson Wray to name but a few.<br />

There's worse ways to spend a sunny Saturday. If you want<br />

to play rugby and experience some of this. Contact Gerry<br />
