‘KIND OF BLUE’ CHARITY PERFORMANCE

"Kind of Blue", a local modern jazz quintet; will next be in the hall

of Bell, Woodham Ferrers on Monday October 28th, 8.30-11.

We will be serving up our usual mixture of jazz "classics" and

songs from the "Great American Songbook".

As it is so near to Halloween, we are featuring some of the more

macabre numbers from that source, such as Nina Simone's "I'll put

a spell on you" and "Old Devil Moon".

Seasonal arrangements

If you want something different, near to Christmas, come to the

Bell on the afternoon of Sunday 15th December, 2-5pm.

"Kind of Blue" will be hosting a gig consisting of numbers from

our usual jazz repertoire in the first half, but will lead a "Christmas

sing-song" in the second, accompanied by Sue's delicious buffet

and mulled wine.

Because we are holding this in the afternoon, we are anticipating

a similar demand as we experienced at our successful "Jazz on a

summer's day", and, although we will be using the hall behind the

Bell, which is larger than the bars in the pub, entry will have to be

limited and subject to a £5 ticket (obtainable from the Bell (01245

320443) and Dave (07774912083)).

Book places quickly, for they will surely sell like wildfire.

Proceeds will go to "Breast Cancer" and Crohn's disease (there

will also be a raffle).

So to "kick off" the start of the festive season, make the short

journey to Woodham Ferrers on December 15th, have a fun

afternoon, and contribute to a worthwhile cause.

PS Just a reminder that next year, instead of performing on cold

and dark Monday evenings, we are moving our regular "gigs" to

Sunday afternoons, so that you can get home before sunset.

Details to follow.

NEWS

Well Bicknacre was certainly on the map for a few days, when the national media decided to report of the Large Dragon that appeared

on the side of the wall at the old Brewers Arms. Ben Davies, the chef/owner said “We received emails from people in Australia as the

BBC main web site featured Duncan, our dragon, it was great publicity for the opening although some locals took it a bit seriously”.

The venue opened on Friday 13th September and now is very much a restaurant with a small pub/bar. When asked what kind of food

was on offer Ben said, “I was trained to cook European food. So I would say French/European Bistro with a few British favourites”. “We

will be varying the menu, our lunch menu offers snacks, our A la Carte menu is quite varied and Sunday lunch is just that all with vegetarian

options ”.

With regards to reservation’s, you can always role up and try your luck but as many people have found out its best to book. The wine list

falls into Ben’s Dad department, David, who loves a glass of wine he said, “My wife and I socialise a lot and it’s amazing how many pubs

in the area are restricted on choices with their wines. One venue, who will remain nameless, I asked what wine choices were available and

was told just red or white (one of each!)”. “We are proud of our wine list available for the pub or restaurant with fine house whites, reds

and Rose by the glass, then for those who appreciate good wine how about a Chateau Cantenac or maybe a Poligny Montrachet? If fizz

is your chosen tipple anything from Prosecco to Crystal or maybe a vintage Dom Perignon?”

We asked Ben and David how business has been since the opening and Ben replied “the restaurant surprised us! When we expected to

be quiet, especially mid week, we have been full, & the pub drinkers are slowly coming back”. The venue has been dramatically

refurbished. It has a new look where some of the old regulars who don’t like change have found it hard to accept. However the pub is

now attracting lots of people from outside the area and it will take us a few months to rebuild a core customer base, which may include

some of the old regulars or maybe some new customers. “We are looking forward to the warmer weather. We have extended the beer

garden and there is lots of new seating front and back of the venue”. Ben added “We have been surprised the number of small parties

we have attracted! What was the old pool room is now a restaurant area and fits in 16ish for a sit-down meal or 25 to 30 for a buffet”.

“We have our own way of celebrating someone’s birthday which will delight the guests of the party and certainly the whole restaurant

knows about the celebration. You will have to experience it to find out what we do!”

Christmas is not far away and the Restaurant is taking bookings for all of December, including Christmas

day (2 sittings), Boxing day and a New Year ’s Eve gala night special menu 1 sitting and music for dancing.

Re special nights its early days but for the West Ham fans in the area there is a night with

Tony Cottee on November 20th, now on sale. There is also a list open for tribute nights

and a tasting night with fine wines and food to match so if interested please register your

name and number.

Ben said “What I would love to do on a Saturday night is a good meal and a cabaret you keep

your table for the night even if it was once a month but we are still trying to find our feet, our

customer base and get really established with people coming back on a regular basis”. Saying

that we have 13 couples who have been back every week since we have opened so we must be

doing something right! And before you said it NO its not my family or friends!” Times are exciting

for the 25 year old chef who decided a few years ago to ‘go into catering’ Ben says “I started

at the bottom washing pots and pans till early hours of the morning then suddenly a desert

chef was ill and I was put on deserts”. “I learned what the components were for desserts,

drove my parents mad learning and chanting ingredient’s. It has to be second nature and

since then have not looked back”. “I was very lucky to have Matthew at Sandbanks

in Leigh on Sea and Spin over at the Lion at Boreham who trusted me and gave

me a chance.” Ben is hoping to do the same for youngsters coming through

the system. “We won’t be the best restaurant in the World but if you can get

a good meal with some fine wines and nice staff in this immediate area what

more can you ask?” Ben’s motto is “Great Food. Great Wine. Great

Company!” and if they can create a venue for food and drink that

everyone in the area can come, enjoy and recommend they will be happy.

I think we’ll all say “Cheers to that!”

WI September Report

The September Meeting

took a different form this

time as the Speaker asked

if she could give her talk

before we attended to our

business. This was no

problem so Kate Cole told

us about ‘The Witches of

Elizabethan Essex’ at the

beginning of the meeting.

The Witchfinder General,

Matthew Hopkins, not

surprisingly, featured quite

heavily. Although he was

born in Suffolk, he moved

to the Manningtree area,

where he began a ruthless

career. During his time as

self-appointed Witchfinder General, he and his followers

were responsible for more people being hanged for

witchcraft in three years, than in the previous 100 years.

Colchester Castle is where most of the witches who were not

put to death, ended their days.

Kate told us about the relationships between Kings of

England and witches in the past. The most notable was

Anne Boleyn who was falsely accused of incest, witchcraft,

adultery and conspiracy against the King and we all know

that didn’t end well!

To our surprise, the last witch was prosecuted as late as 1944

because the 1735 Witchcraft Act remained on the statute

books, never having been repealed. This did finally happen

in 1951.

Kate has a wealth of knowledge on happenings in our

County and beyond and has written many books about local

history. Her talk is well worth hearing.

After the business, Shirley told us of some forthcoming

outings she has arranged. We are going to the Beth Chatto

Christmas Fair at the end of November with lunch at The

Rose Tree Tea Room at Dedham afterwards. She has also

booked Scrimshaws for our After-Christmas Lunch in

January. Looking ahead to March, we are off to The Cliffs

Pavilion to see ‘Remembering the Oscars’ with Strictly Come

Dancing’s Aljaz and Janette. It sounds as though it will be a

varied and interesting show.

Before all that, our Christmas Coffee Morning will be on

Friday the 22nd of November, in the WI Hall, Guys Farm

Road, from 10.00am until 12 noon. All are welcome to join

us for mince pies, cakes, sausage rolls and tea or coffee.

There will be handmade birthday and Christmas cards for

sale, courtesy of the Craft Club.

We only have two more Craft Club meetings before this

event so we shall have to be busy on the second and fourth

Tuesdays of the month. We meet in the WI Hall from 1.30pm

until 4.00 and anyone is welcome to come along.

VICAR OF DIBLEY

MALDON DRAMA GROUP

Maldon Drama Group are celebrating their most popular

production to date after filling every seat for their production of

Vicar of Dibley. Maldon Town Hall was filled to capacity to watch

the antics of the residents of Dibley as they adjust to their new

vicar, weather the great storm and celebrate the marriage of Alice

and Hugo. The reception from the audience was fantastic with

enough laughter to raise the roof.

Maldon Drama Group are developing a well deserved reputation

for well produced and superbly acted productions and would like

to thank the people of Maldon and surrounding areas for their

support.

Onwards and upwards now as casting takes place for William

Shakespeare’s popular comedy Much Ado About Nothing.

LET’S PLAY

A GAME

Dotty Drawings

1. Each player draws six

random dots on their

page. The pages are

shuffled and handed out

again. It does not matter

if a player receives their

own page back.

2. Players must use the

dots to complete a

picture of anything at all,

such as unusual animals, a

funny face, a landscape, a

building, whatever.

Players have only three

minutes to finish their

picture.

3. Players then take turns

to show their drawing to

everyone else. You may

find a budding artist

among your players or

you may decide that

Rembrandt has nothing

to worry about. It's all

about having fun!

Does anyone at the new roundabout

construction have any common sense ?

Over to

you...

Hopefully you are reading this when the roundabout is fully signposted

and safe to negotiate.

But as I write that is not the case. Since fully opening the roundabout,

all they have done so far is road markings that you only see once you

are at the roundabout. Despite usual logic ( right hand lane for turn

right ) , in both main directions the left hand lanes are for left turns

only. Where are the road signs set further back , telling you which

lane you should be in as you approach the roundabout?

Keep children safe and park more considerably

As the weather has turned considerably autumnal in recent weeks,

I've been doing the school run by car and have been using the Club

Woodham car park most mornings and afternoons.

It amazes me how so many school-run-mums, and it's usually the

same offenders, think it's ok for them to park outside Club

Woodham, Balgores and the Co-op, on the double yellow lines to

either drop off their children in the morning or sit there waiting for

them at the end of the day, when there are spaces in the car park

just a few feet away. Does the highway code not apply to them?

In the mornings, the parked cars cause a backlog up the whole of

Baron Road as nobody knows whose stopped/parked and who

hasn't, and the jam invariably spills back out onto Inchbonnie Road,

especially if there is a huge delivery van parked outside the Co-op as

well. For those of us who do use the car park, it's not easy getting

out of there after drop off as cars are turning into Baron Road from

Inchbonnie but they can't get down Baron Road .... because you're

blocking it!

In the afternoons, the children take their lives in their own hands -

they can't see to cross the road, because you're blocking it again! I

realise it gets busy when it's rainy but there are other places to meet

- the leisure centre, the car park where the kebab place is or Asda's

at a push.

Just this morning I saw a lady pull up outside Strands, get out with

her son in a Willy D uniform and walk carrying a box of cakes away

from her car - why not park in the empty car park less than 20-30 feet

away? It wasn't raining but it had been. The laziness is incredible -

the chances are these people will drive through the car park anyway

to turn their car round to go home - why not use it to park - it's free

and it's always empty in the mornings!!

Another strange phenomenon in the Club Woodham car park is that

very few people park in a space - even if it's for 20 seconds whilst

their kids get out - use a space! I couldn't get out of mine the other

day because a parent obviously couldn't bear to see their child walk

more than they needed to and so blocked me in - nobody could get

past so 2 more cars stopped behind the first one and they let out

their children too (that I can understand!) - all I wanted to do was go

home, but I blocked in by a stream of cars!

On a loosely connected issue, perhaps this new medical centre will

be a blessing is disguise when it comes to yellow line parking

elsewhere in town - more often then not, there are 2-3 cars parked

on the lines outside Brickfields surgery and Rowlands Pharmacy. Any

idea how dangerous that is for crossing the road or pulling out of

Merchant Street?

Name with held

So , if you are going straight ahead, and you see a car on your left as

you get to the roundabout , take care . it might be aiming at the same

piece of road as you .. which is not wide enough for two cars!

Didn’t anyone think to put those road signs up at the same time as

the road markings ?

John Bunyan

Another Loss To Our Town

In response to Carol's letter last week, I had to write in and simply

say that I agree with her 100%.

I was initially shocked to see the fire brigade management launch a

desperate downgrading recruitment drive; One, leading up to

Christmas (never a good time to lose your job/post/get a pay cut)

and two, pretty much a year after our full time firemen and women

risked their lives at the Littlecroft fire. Great timing fire brigade

management. NOT!

What however, I find even more deplorable, is that there are

people/business' in this town that seem totally oblivious to this issue

and are blindly going along with it and even advertising to effectively

lose their round the clock emergency cover from the fire station!

ASDA... Leisure Centre... hold your heads in shame! Appalling!!!

Maybe the favour could be repaid and a few banners put up

advertising the new Sainsbury's or Maldon Leisure Centre/pool?

Unsafe Locking System

Dear focus readers

For those of you like myself choose not to use social media, I am

writing to let you know that there has been a number of car thefts in

South Woodham Ferrers in the past couple of weeks. In the early

hours of Friday 11th October my car was stolen from my drive.

It was a Mercedes GLC and had a keyless entry system.

I contacted the police who did not appear bothered and the only

benefit from the call was to gain a Police report reference.

Nothing heard from the police since the 11th.

A lot of car manufacturers use the keyless entry system on new cars

but it appears that this can easily be fraudulently copied which gives

easy access to anyone wishing to steal vehicles.

When I purchased the vehicle last year, Mercedes certainly did not

advise me that this locking system is unsafe and certainly didn't

advise how to combat this.

I have since learnt that keyless entry should be either kept in a pouch

or a sealed metal box at all times when not in use.

I hope this helps others and hope that you also don't wake to find

your vehicle has disappeared overnight.

HIGHWAYS ISSUES AROUND SOUTH WOODHAM FERRERS

On 16th September I wrote a letter to Essex County Councillor Kevin

Bentley highlighting a number of highways issues and asked when they

were scheduled to be addressed. For your information, he replied with

the following information:

A132 Burnham Road, from the Shaw Farm roundabout to the Rettenden Turnpike

He reported a full inspection of Burnham Road was carried out on 26 September 2019, adding “While we do have some defects logged

for this section of carriageway they do not warrant urgent attention at this time, therefore no works are currently planned.”

The railway bridge on Ferrers Road

“The Highway Inspector did not record any issues with the railway bridge.” during a routine inspection on 9 September 2019.

Defective drain cover in Hullbridge Road

Unfortunately, the reply referenced a drain near the junction with Orchid Place not the one I had reported. I was informed that, “An

inspection of the drain was carried out on 25 September 2019 and a job is in the process of being programmed.” I can confirm that this

work (near Orchid Place) has now been finished.

B1418 (to Woodham Ferrers)

Apparently this road was inspected on 27 September 2019, prompted by reports of problems. I was surprised to hear that, “The Highway

Inspector was unable to find any issues meeting our ‘Investigatory Level’ for consideration.”

Road edges on Willow Grove and Creephedge Lane

This seemed more promising, with the following good news being delivered. “I am happy to inform you we are currently in the process

of planning patching works for both Willow Grove and Creephedge Lane. We do not have a confirmed date for this work at this time but

we are hopeful this will completed by the end of November 2019. Please be aware all works are weather dependent and there is a chance

these may be delayed.”

Ferrers Road (Crossing)

Requests for a controlled crossing can’t be made by anyone except Cllr Massey who, “would need to make an application via the

Chelmsford Local Highways Panel.”

The full letter can be viewed on our website: www.swfcta.org

The only positive news is the 'patching works' along Willow Grove and Creephedge Lane, something the Town Council have been nagging

about for nearly a year. Given the state of the road edges there needs to be slightly more than just patching done.

Where the Ferrers Rd crossing is concerned, both Town and City Councillors have asked ECC for a reduced speed limit (to 30mph), as it

is frequently used by pedestrians, particularly school children. They did a speed survey and noted that the average speed along this

stretch of road was only slightly over

30mph. Then they came to the odd

conclusion that the speed limit should

stay at 40mph. Furthermore, I made the

point in my letter that this must be the

only uncontrolled town centre crossing in

a 40mph zone in the County, which is

against current government regulations.

So, now we are being told to go through

the Highways Panel which they know will

take 4 years (or longer) to get a decision

and that might still be , 'No'.

As a local party we are certainly not

happy with any of these responses and

look forward to challenging for a seat on

Essex County Council at the next

opportunity to represent our residents'

concerns about highways and other

matters.

Don’t lose heart

‘As the minutes tick down to the Brexit deadline….’ As I started to write this – these were the words that I

heard from the TV. How many times have we heard this? How many deadlines? By the time you read this

– the only thing I can be sure of is that the minutes will be ticking down to yet another deadline. Again.

This dilemma will not go away. Those charged with solving the problem, whatever the outcome they are

hoping for, have had to be very perseverant.

And in our gospel on Sunday, we have an example of perseverance. A widow who petitions a judge again

and again for justice. And recent events give us an insight into how the judge feels – he is worn out. He

gives her justice because of her perseverance, but we must note that he would not have ruled in her favour unless she had a

case. Sometimes we do not get the outcome we want at the first time of asking, but we should not give up – we will get there

in the end. This is even true of our prayers. God may not answer straight away, or he may not answer in the way we want – but

if we put faith in him, we will get there in the end. It is also true of our faith. We may not get things right all the time, but we

should not give up. God understands that we are fallible – and he will forgive. So, let’s keep going – let’s persevere – with our

prayers and with our faith. And there will be a time when Brexit will be resolved – I just hope I live long enough to see it!

FLU JAB TIME. The NHS reminds us that Flu vaccine is the best protection

we have against an unpredictable virus that can cause unpleasant illness

in children and severe illness and death among at-risk groups, including

older people, pregnant women and those with an underlying medical

health condition.

Studies have shown that the flu vaccine will help prevent you getting the flu.

It will not stop all flu viruses and the level of protection may vary, so it's

not a 100% guarantee that you'll be flu-free.

But if you do get flu after vaccination, it's likely to be milder and shorterlived

than it would otherwise have been. And, by the way, the flu jab

doesn't give you flu.

Working out what sort of flu is likely to come our way in the 'flu season'

and make a vaccine that can give you the right protection requires a crystal

ball and a knowledge of what goes on in Australia where their flu season

(which was particularly vicious this year and resulted in more than 500

deaths) happens about 6 months earlier than ours. The theory is that we

tend to follow the Antipodean trend.

This year the NHS flu-jab campaign is bigger and more complicated than

ever before. Briefly, you are eligible for a free flu jab if you are in one of

the following groups:

• adults 65 and over.

• people with certain medical conditions (including children in at-risk

groups from 6 months of age)

• pregnant women

• children aged 2 and 3 on 31 August 2019

• children in primary school

When they say '65 and over', they mean that you're eligible for the flu

vaccine this year (2019-20) if you'll be aged 65 or over on 31 March 2020.

That is, you were born on or before 31 March 1955. So if you're currently

64 but will be 65 on 31 March 2020, you qualify.

Once you reach 'a certain age' your immune system doesn't work quite as

well - so it needs more of a boost to wake it up and make it ready for action

and the 'special' vaccines for the over 65's are made with this in mind.

Children are important in their own right with respect to flu vaccinations

... but they also have great significance because they carry infections

around and spread then to all and sundry (so, if they come into contact

with any 'at risk' family members, it can cause trouble.)

Your GP or practice nurse (or your pharmacist) will make sure you get the

correct vaccine for your needs.

If you need more information, Google: 'NHS Flu vaccine overview.' If you

can't find what you're looking for on the NHS website then I'm sure your

friendly practice nurse or pharmacist will be happy to advise.

If you're not eligible for a free flu jab but still want one ... many pharmacies

and some GP surgeries will give you one for a reasonable fee.

I’m reading a horror story in Braille. Something bad is about to

happen… I can feel it.

WHAT ABOUT A 'UNIVERSAL' FLU JAB? Fed up with having to have a

flu jab every year? Help may be at hand ... but not just yet. Here's the

problem ... Flu is a viral illness and two strains — influenza virus strain A

and strain B - are the culprits. The trouble is that these viruses are clever -

they constantly change so vaccines needed to target the specific strains

and subtypes must change too in order to keep up with them.

The boffins point out the deficiencies in the current system (which is the

best we've got - but is still very far from ideal) and ask: "Is there a better

way?" Valkenburg & Cowling, writing in The Lancet - Infectious Diseases,

say "improvements in influenza vaccine design are urgently needed." They

list the downside of the present setup: "Inactivated influenza virus vaccines

(IIVs) have been in use for more than 70 years with no major changes in

the underlying technology. Limitations of these vaccines include the long

production cycle, which requires strain selection well in advance of their

use; provision of only moderate protection when vaccine strains match

circulating strains; protection that wanes quickly; potential issues with

repeated annual immunisation, such as reduced ... protection from

infection; and no protection against novel outbreak or pandemic strains."

To try to find a better approach, researchers have been looking at a protein

that is present on the surface of flu viruses which steers them toward the

cells of the victim (i.e. you) - and they then infect your cells. This protein

has two sections - a "head," which differs from strain to strain, and one

called a "stalk" which remains much the same. If you can make a vaccine

that attacks the "stalk" you could be on to a winner given that the current

vaccines target the "head" which is constantly changing - whereas the

"stalk" is more of a static target."

Maria Cohut, writing in Medical News Today, reports on one trial in which

an experimental vaccine was successful in activating antibodies that fight

several different types of flu virus.

She quotes researcher Prof. Krammer as saying: ""The vaccine induced a

broad antibody response, which was not only cross-reactive for currently

circulating human influenza virus but also to avian and bat influenza virus

subtypes. It was surprising to find that the inactivated formulation with

adjuvant induced a very strong anti-stalk response already after the prime,

suggesting that one vaccination might be enough to induce protection

against pandemic influenza viruses yet to arise.

So that's the potential prize ... a flu jab that will not only protect you against

getting flu this year but will also protect you against future 'epidemics'

caused by various types of flu that don't yet exist. That would be really

amazing - so, if Prof. Krammer and colleagues are brainy enough to do that,

perhaps they could put their minds to sorting out Brexit and The Middle

East whilst they're at it!

My girlfriend told me she was leaving me because I keep pretending to

be a Transformer. I said, “No, wait! I can change.”

FOOTBALL AND DEMENTIA. BBC Sport reports that "Former

professional footballers are three and a half times more likely to die of

dementia than people of the same age range in the general population,

according to new research. Experts at Glasgow University have been

investigating fears that heading the ball could be linked to brain injuries.

The study began after claims that former West Brom striker Jeff Astle died

because of repeated head trauma."

If football did exactly what it says in the tin there wouldn't be a problem.

The trouble is that it's not just football ... it's also 'headball' ... and heading

the old heavy leather footballs seamed to do most damage.

And it's not just the footballers themselves that are at risk. There is recent

observational evidence that some Bulgarian football supporters suffer from

quite marked brain damage - although the cause remains unclear.

“Do Transformers get car, or life insurance?” - Russell Howard

EDITING OUT 'TYPOS' THAT CAUSE DISEASE. Most of us are computer

literate to a greater or lesser extent these days. We may, for example, start

off by being able to edit a Word document and then some progress to

more complex tasks - like editing pictures or sound file and video files. So

it should be relatively easy for us to get our heads round the fact that,

because the blueprint for the body is the data contained in our DNA, this

too can be edited providing the right tools are available.

The journal 'Nature' takes up the story about a new gene-editing tool

called prime editing - but first a word about the 'industry standard': "For

all the ease with which the wildly popular CRISPR–Cas9 gene-editing tool

alters genomes, it’s still somewhat clunky and prone to errors and

unintended effects.

This sounds like the equivalent of the old way of editing film - slicing out

the bits you didn't want and leaving them 'on the cutting room.' It too was

slow and clunky - and yet it was responsible for films like Citizen Kane,

Casablanca, Psycho, Singing in the Rain and Some Like it Hot - so it's not

to be dismissed lightly.

Nowadays digital editing has taken over in the world of 'film' - and it

sounds as if the new method, called prime editing (which offers greater

control), will radically improve gene editing. This improves the chances

that researchers will end up with only the edits they want, instead of a mix

of changes that they can’t predict. That could make prime-editing-based

gene therapies safer for use in people.

The tool also seems capable of making a wider variety of edits, which might

one day allow it to be used to treat the many genetic diseases that have

so far stymied gene-editors - indeed it's been claimed that prime editing

might help researchers tackle nearly 90% of the more than 75,000 diseaseassociated

DNA variants."

If this technique lives up to its potential it could revolutionise medicine.

The devil is in the detail, however - the detail being exactly how to put it

into practice. Moreover, there are often unintended consequences to great

research; from Plato to Hitler the idea of 'improving the stock' has raised

its ugly head from time to time and the fact that gene editing is becoming

ever more slick and sophisticated will no doubt appeal to the few remaining

eugenicists.

That should not be a reason for failing to celebrate this advance, however,

given the ability of prime editing to change individual DNA letters, delete

letters, or insert a series of letters into a genome, with minimal damage to

DNA strands. There are huge numbers of patients out there with disease

caused by DNA 'typos' who, if all goes well, may well benefit enormously

from this discovery.

I'll let molecular biologist Erik Sontheimer have the last word: “It’s fantastic.

The breadth of the mutations that can be introduced is one of the biggest

advances. That’s huge.”

Dr John

SWF U13 V HARLOW

It was perfect weather for Rugby and the SWF U13 squad were looking forward to the Friendly home game against Harlow this weekend.

Coaches had agreed beforehand that, due to the size of the Harlow Squad, that it would be split into quarters to allow rest for the

Woodham lads. The U13’s, who’s numbers have grown from 9 post season and up to an impressive 16 now, were also welcoming another

new arrival from Willie D’s, Daniel Williams.

From kick off the boys really pressed well and won the first few scrums and rucked over convincingly well, only to fall behind to a swift

counter and a well worked try from Harlow. The boys never put their heads down and really tried to reverse the score line, pushing

through the centre with George and James trying to create something for the centres, Noah and new boy Dan to get their teeth into.

Some bone crunching tackles from Dan, as well as some probing runs, and some great tackles by Tom H, Josh and James H really set the

tone and the score come the end of the 1st two quarters didn’t match up to the game we were all were watching, however, Harlow were

in control 3 tries to 0.

A double whammy of tries from Harlow early on didn’t dent the boy’s confidence and Presley and Ewan were involved in some tasty

exchanges and runs down the wings that had the home crowd cheering. A wonderful kick from George over the top really should have

been capitalised or turned into something more only for Harlow’s excellent winger counter attacking and scoring.

Nathan come on as fly half and really took it to Harlow. His direct running and intelligent play opened up the game only for him having

to leave the field due to injury. Only a slight one we all hope.

Enter Big Joe, who managed to score one of his trademark hustle and bustle runs from the halfway line. Really good play from the big

man and I think it is fair to say Harlow struggled with his play throughout. Harlow did nip up the other end to score only for Joe to score

another much similar to his 1st.

A thoroughly entertaining game for all the spectators and the U13s development really has been great to watch. With the newcomers

to the team starting to understand our drills more and what we expect of this talented bunch.

Don’t let the score deceive you. Once the penny drops for the U13 there will be many a team put to the sword.

Well done guys.

SWF RUFC WEEKLY ROUNDUP

SWF 1st XV v Holt

Saturday 19 September

South Woodham Ferrers RFC recorded their second win of the

season with an emphatic eight try thrashing of visitors Holt. This

was the performance that has been bubbling along under the

stuttering games of the last few weeks with the forwards dominant

in all areas of the game and the backs able to play with style and

pace, off good quick ball.

The game started brightly for the home side when the first scrum

of the game saw Woodham drive the visitors back to win the first

of a several penalties at the set piece. The decision to take another

scrum and then another, after a second penalty, put the lads deep

in the Holt half. The reward came with a run-in try for flanker Liam

Searles, converted by Alex Baker.

More scrums and more penalties deep in the Holt 22 illustrated the

dominance that the home side had. The resulting possession gave

the Woodham backs a chance to put on the style with three more

converted tries from Sevie Hurrell, Jordan Harper and Alex Baker.

SWF U12’s at Harlow RFC Festival

20th October 2019

Squad: Alfie, Archie, Byron (C), Charlie, Dan, Felix, Jack B, Jack C,

Jake, Jared, Josh, Kenny B, Kenny R, Tom, Will.

With Wales squeaking past France 20-19, the boys prepared to

participate in their first festival of the season. The day started off

cool, bright and sunny at the beautiful home of Harlow Rugby. With

Stanford RFC not turning up, the boys only had 3 games to play:

Old Grammarians B, Harlow and Westcliff.

Holt only managed to threaten the Woodham line in the last few

minutes of the half but the defence remained strong and the

whistle came with home side well on top at 28 points to nil.

Changes in the line-up for the second half didn’t unsettle the home

side who continued to dominate all aspects of the game. The backrow

trio of Liam Searles, Stuart Whatling and captain Lewis Gilbert

proved to be a real handful for the Holt defence, breaking the line

at will to pile on the pressure.

Man of the match Liam Searles opened the second half scoring

with yet another break through try and to keep the forwards on

the scoreboard Ollie Trigg found himself on the wing to go over

for Woodhams sixth.

Holt did not give up trying to break through but strong defending

all round saw the ball turned over several times and the Woodham

counter was always threatening. Warren Duggan had several

strong runs from deep in his own half before a final off-load paid

off with Jordan Harpers second try of the day.

As the game drew to an end Woodham passed the 50 point mark

when they were awarded a penalty deep in the Holt 22. A line out

was taken and the resulting attack saw John Murphy dive over

from close range, Alex Baker slotted the conversion to finish with

a 17 point tally.

The whistle came with Woodham having accrued 52 unanswered

points. It was a dominant and disciplined display marred only by

an injury to Scott Horsburgh. In attack the lads were clinical and

could have scored more if Holts defence had not been as well

organised. In defence they gave nothing away and it was pleasing

to see the penalty count at its lowest for some weeks.

FOCUS

Game 1: a shaky start from the boys meant the result went against

them 0-4. A few good tackles from Felix and Jack C, some rucking

from Josh and great ripping from Kenny B and Daniel showing

quick reactions at the scrum. They lost Tom due to injury and it

seemed as the sun disappeared behind the clouds so did the boys’

spirits.

Game 2: a brighter start this time from the boys. Both Byron and

Jack B made good ground, with Josh and Dan making their tackles

count. Harlow scored first but the boys fought back with good

carries made by Josh, Jack B and Byron. Finally, Kenny B powered

through to score the first try of the day. From a penalty to a scrum,

Daniel then took the ball and carried it over to make it 2-1. Handling

errors and high tackles meant that Harlow pulled it back to 2-2

before scoring a third. Now the squad had lost Josh to injury too.

Game 3: having lost 2 players to injury, Kenny B and Archie made

lovely gains. Daniel, Jack C and Kenny B made crucial tackles but

the final score was 0-3 with Alfie lost to injury too.

Not the best day at the office for the boys but plenty to work on

for the rest of the season. The Harlow coach made a point of

complimenting the boys for playing in the spirit of the festival:

teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship. Well

done boys and thanks to Coach Chris, Josh, Wayne and Victoria

for giving up their time to shape and develop the team.

Rest week next week.

We played against Epping, Harlow, Old Grammarians, and

Upminster.

We played our first game on the back of a late warm up, and it

showed. We were slow out of the blocks. Our first up tackling was

below our normal standard and we made the other teams look very

good at times.

We clearly improved as the games went on, and we saw some of

the good rugby that we can play.

Some stand out moments were Katie's try driving through the

other team to score, and some good rips, Luca's pace and evasion

to score and Ellis's workrate. Some great tackling from Mikey,

Keith and Brad. Brad and Ellis's switch passes also were well done.

Getting some great passes out of the rucks were Hayden, Ollie

and Alfie.

We are always looking to grow the squad. Please contact Gerry

SWF U8’s at Harlow Festival

The U8’s team took part in the Harlow Festival on Sunday. It was

the first time the team played on a bigger field but it didn’t stop

their pace!

They are really coming together as a team - lots of new members

have joined us and they are all working really hard!

We were one of the only teams to have a great mix of girls as well

as boys and there was some serious tagging by all the girls!

Well done to you all!! There was some fantastic tries, dodging and

tagging in all games - it shows the hard work in training is paying

off. All players went away with a well deserved medal!

Thanks to Harlow Rugby Club for a great festival and making our

team feel welcome!

SWF RFC U9’s at Harlow Festival. 20th October.

The U9 team attended the first festival of the 2019 season at

Harlow. The full squad of 12 players were in attendance to a play

a round robin tournament of 5 matches against teams from Harlow,

Epping & Upper Clapton, Upminster, Westcliff and Old

Grammarians.

The weather stayed dry but the recent rain made perfect

conditions for playing rugby.

This season saw the boys moving to full contact and this being only

their second outing, they embraced the opportunity to take their

game to the next level and to put their new skills into practice.

Throughout their matches, the boys played with passion and pride.

Some great passing of the ball was made with supportive player

demonstrated by all. Tackles were made, and try scores in

abundance on both sides.

There’s still some work to be done with committing to the tackle,

but overall it was an excellent performance from the team. Well

done to Charlie, Daniel, Harry S, Leo, Jake, Jacob, Henry, Archie,

Marshall, Luke, Oliver and Harry T.

Keep up the good work, you did yourselves proud.

Our next match we host Burnham at Saltcoats park on the 3rd

November.

SOUTH WOODHAM’S EWAN HYND AND CHRIS CROOKS BOTH WIN IN

THE BURNHAM TABLE TENNIS LEAGUE

South Woodham’s young Star - Ewan Hynd in winning form this week.

Division 1

Cold Norton A Freeze out Mapledene A

Cold Norton A recorded the biggest shock result of the season

with a full on 10-0 drubbing of title hopefuls Mapledene A. The

Cold Norton trio of Big Duncan Taylor, Matt Stringer and Sam

Lowman would be a match for any team in the County that’s for

sure - but 10-0. You wouldn’t want to be playing Mapledene next

week... This result springboards the Cold Norton boys to the top

of the league and Taylor leads the individual tables with a 100% 9

wins from 9. The Cold Norton B team jump to 3rd spot following

their 5-5 draw with 2 man Maldon A. Dan Anderson and Chris

Ballard both beat the hard hitting Steve Whiteley to secure their 5

points - and Jon Stokes beat allcomers for his Maldon team. In the

only other top flight contest this week West Maldon B’s Nick Duce

was the unlikely star earning his first Division 1 hat-trick of the

season against South Woodham A. Duce was cruelly overlooked

for the doubles and at 0-2down his team mates Dick Wyman and

Neil Freeman looked a bit sheepish but rallied to secure the match

winning doubles point in a tense 5 setter. Wyman and Freeman

both beat Woodham’s Cameron Gray, whilst Woodham’s Daniel

Piglet and Alan Burgess both picked up a brace of wins.

Division 2

By Hook or By Crooks

South Woodham’s Chris Crooks is having a roller coaster of a

season for sure - bouncing from winless to hat-tricks week on

week. This week he was unstoppable again as he led Woodham B

to a 9-1 victory over West Maldon C - and his young accomplice

Ewan Hynd was at it again with a very hard fought hat-trick of his

own winning out two lengthy 5 setters against very experienced

opposition. That convincing win pushes Woodham clear at the top

of Division 2. Maldon C in second place also had the pleasure of

Mr Crooks this week - Crooks continues his good form and secured

wins against top players Mervin Perriman and Bryn Thomas and

combined with young Ben Porter for the doubles win. However

he was powerless to thwart the young Maldon Mauler Thomas

Page - his hat-trick was instrumental in Maldon’s 6-4 win. Page and

Porter had an epic battle in their singles encounter - a possible

Junior Final of the future - with Page coming from behind to win

11-9 in the deciding leg. There were also 3 other decisive results

this week in Division 2. Steve Scholz led his Maldon B team to an

8-2 win over Stow C. The sartorial prince of Burnham Table tennis

Rod McClennan was on top form with 2 wins for Stow but Scholz

won all 4 of his matches. A 3 man Mayland A team overcame

Blackwater A 8-2 for their first win of the season - expect to see

them climb the league in the coming weeks. Mayland were led by

Colin Barrell and Steve Apsland who both earned 3 wins. In the

final match Mapledene C were looking for the perfect win over an

underperforming Cold Norton C - and at 9-0 up it looked likely -

until that is Terry Hyland took the bull by the horns and blasted

Michael Johnston 3-0 (7,7,4) to avoid the whitewash for his Cold

Norton team. By then Lin Roff and Dave Moles had already locked

in their hat-tricks for Mapledene C, and this was enough to push

them into 3rd place.

Division 3

Stowball Continues to gather pace

Stow D continued their winning ways with an 8-2 win over Michael

Pratley’s Burnham A team. Pratley was the only bump in the road

winning both the Burnham points. Stow’s Peter Chastin starred

with a hat-trick including the prized scalp of Pratley, and then

paired up with Jean Chasmer for the doubles win. 10pts back in

second place but with a game in hand Maldon E had a tougher

battle this week against the Blackwater B team - eventually coming

through 6-4 victors largely due to the experienced head of Roger

Warren who was undefeated all evening. St Lawrence B earned a

6-4 win over Stow F with Roy Hutchins winning all his singles for St

Lawrence. The St Lawrence A team couldn’t emulate their B team

and had to settle for a draw with Stow E. Stow had the star of the

match in Jason Bush who won all his matches to keep himself atop

the individual averages league with 9/9 wins so far.
