NEIL BRAITHWAITE 1947 - 2012 

It is with deep sadness that Police Sport UK has to 

report the death of our Administration & Admin 

Manager, Neil Braithwaite. 

Neil had suffered with cancer for some time and 

sadly passed away on Wednesday 15th February 

2012, whilst in a clinic in Munich for intensive 

treatment. 

The thoughts of all PSUK members are extended to 

his wife, Brenda and their family. 

Neil will be a great loss to PSUK. He was a fine sportsman 

and a true ambassador for Police Sport.

Patrick J Shearer Foreword 

On the health aspect, a fit mind is an essential 

requirement for police officers and staff, thus I 

genuinely believe that general fitness is a key part of 

this. As Police Managers, we are frequently challenged 

to consider not only our own work life balance, but that 

of those who work with and support us 

In many cases good working arrangements are in place 

where there is a balance of commitment by Forces and 

the individuals themselves, and this is important to 

ensure we can all have the opportunity to give our best, 

especially where we are representing at Force or 

national level. Equally I am conscious however that 

this area is coming under significantly increasing 

pressure and the personal commitment 

Importantly, PSUK continues to develop with a healthy 

range of sporting sections reflecting the diversity across 

the service. As Honorary Treasurer I also recognise and 

welcome the discipline which sporting sections are 

demonstrating in their approach to financial 

management looking at ways of reducing and where 

possible sharing costs.

QM Police Sport UK 

The Police Service across the UK is no 

stranger to change and being very much a 

‘Can Do’ service, this will inevitably place a 

significant strain on many of our people. 

We only have to consider the impact of recent and ongoing 

austerity measures to understand the anxiety of many of our 

staff about their future employment status and how the police 

service will look as it moves forward within the current change 

climate. The impact of politics and financial constraint has 

never been greater. 

In times of challenge and austerity, diversions; especially 

sporting and team interaction, which encourages competition, 

COMARADERIE and achievement, are essential to maintain 

sharpness, enthusiasm and healthy personal development. 

Competition and achievement develop us as individuals, set 

out who we are and aid ourselves and those around us to 

reflect the qualities of fairness, drive and determination. 

Securing sponsorship is just one way of allaying some of 

the heavy costs, and whilst the management team have 

achieved significant success in this area over the last few 

years we are committed to having a fresh look to 

establish if we can lever in even more support. 

PSUK continues to have a strong, enthusiastic and 

successful membership and I look forward to working 

with you all to grow that success. 

Yours sincerely

Cross country 

PSUK athletes took the plaudits with some fine 

performances in the annual cross country 

representative fixture at RAF Halton in 

Buckinghamshire. This year's race included the 

Southern Services Cross Country League 

fixture and took place on a course that took in 

playing fields and woods, but only included 

one steady climb each lap instead of the usual 

three!. 

The course was the same as in previous years, taking in playing 

fields and trails through the woods, but only included one 

steady climb each lap instead of the usual three!! Conditions, 

although cool, were ideal for running. The going under foot 

was reasonably firm for the time of year. The women’s race 

was run over one and a half laps of about 6kms and the men’s 

race over two and a half laps at 10kms.

Towerton (Hampshire) led the field on the half lap closely 

followed by the RAF’s Tamsyn Rutter and Civil Service’s K 

Beecher. By the end of the half lap and commencing the full 

lap Hill and Farrow had taken control of the race and had 

established a good 15 – 20 metres lead on the chasing group. 

Hill and Farrow were never challenged from this point 

onwards. With approximately 600m to go, Hill appeared to 

have control of the race having gained a 10 metre lead on 

Farrow. However, Farrow didn’t give in, and on the home 

straight to the finish, pulled Hill to win the race in 21:49 with 

Hill in Second place just one second behind. Rutter led the 

RAF home in 3rd place just 10 seconds behind Hill. 

Farrow and Hill were well supported by Howard in 5th (23:05), 

Towerton in 6th (23:16), Kelly Morgan (South Wales) in 8th

victory by 18 points (14 points) from the host team RAF with 

32 points. 

In the men’s race, PSUK’s Gary Blackman (West Midlands), Ben 

Gamble (Staffordshire) and Steve Cairns (Lothian & Borders) 

led the field at the end of the half lap and commencing the 

first of two full laps chased by members of the RAF team, Civil 

Service team and PSUK’s Paul Cardy (Hampshire) and Rob 

Grantham (Cheshire). Similar to the women’s race, Blackman 

and Gamble took control of the race and were never 

challenged from this point onwards. Blackman got the better 

of Gamble, winning the race in 32:10 with Gamble in second 

place, just 12 seconds behind. Mike Cummings (Civil Service) 

took third place in a time of 32:43. 

Blackman and Gamble were well supported by Cairns (V) in 

5th (33:05), Cardy in 9th (33:27), Grantham in 12th (33:48), 

Malcolm Fowler (V) (Cheshire) in 15th (34:35), Ian Phillips

Police Sport UK v Fire Service 

v Prison Service 

Stretton-On-The-Fosse, Warwickshire 

Friday 25th November 2011 

This annual fixture was hosted by the Prison Service at the 

Training College, Newbold Revell, Stretton-on-the-Fosse, near 

Rugby on Friday 25th November 2011. 

The course was within the college grounds taking in playing 

fields, paths and the fields immediately adjoining. The weather 

on the day was dry, however five minutes before the start of 

the races, it clouded over and started to rain and didn’t stop 

until the races had finished. The competitors also had to 

contend with a bitingly cold wind which was blowing across 

the course. 

All three races – ladies, senior men & veterans, races started 

at 2pm with the ladies running one lap of the 5.1km course 

and the gents completing two laps of the same course. 

In the women’s race Natalie Farrow (Lincolnshire) took control 

from the start. She was chased by Helen Cross (Prison), Ruth 

Watchorne-Rice (Fire), Kate Towerton (Hampshire), Wendy 

King (Essex) and Kate Kelly (GMP) all three who were making 

their first appearance for PSUK. Farrow led throughout the 

race, winning comfortably in a time of 20mins 31secs. Cross 

finished second, 46 seconds behind Farrow. Farrow was well 

supported by Towerton in 3rd, King in 4th and Kelly 

completing the team in 6th place. The Police Sport UK team 

was unchallenged, winning convincingly to take the Paul 

Murphy Trophy. 

In the men’s race Martin Williams (West Midlands) took 

control from the start, chased by Jim Cooper (Metropolitan), 

Nigel Stirk (Fire), John Franklin (Metropolitan) and Gary 

Blackman (West Midlands), both making their debut for PSUK. 

By the end of the first lap Williams had pulled away from the

est of the field and was never challenged coming home 1st 

in a time of 35mins 40secs. Cooper ran strongly to finish 2nd, 

with Franklin finishing in 3rd to make it a clean sweep for the 

PSUK team. These three were well supported with Paul Cardy 

(Hampshire) finishing in 5th, Blackman limped home in 6th – 

having ‘tweaked’ a calf muscle 500metres from the finish, Ian 

Phillips (Derbyshire) in 7th and Malcolm Fowler (Cheshire) 

completing the men’s team in 13th place overall and 2nd 

veteran. The men reclaimed the team trophy from the Fire 

Service who had won it last year. 

The Veteran’s race also saw the PSUK team win convincingly, 

with Fowler leading the team home in 2nd place (13th overall) 

supported by Ian Weatherall (Cheshire) in 3rd (15th overall), 

Darren Riley (West Midlands) in 4th (24th overall) and Rick 

Lloyd (GMP), making his debut for PSUK, completing the team 

in 5th place (26th overall).

Preparations are well underway in Belfast for the 2013 

World Police and Fire Games (WPFG). The event takes 

place from 1 to 10 August 2013, with the aim of 

attracting 25,000 visitors to Northern Ireland from over 

70 countries. 

The Games are the third largest international multi-sport event 

in the world and they are almost three times the size of the 

Commonwealth Games in terms of competitor numbers. The 

2013 event will be the biggest sporting event ever staged in 

Northern Ireland, and indeed on the island of Ireland. It will

Background 

Countdown to the 2013 

World Police and Fire Games 

The WPFG is a biennial sports event organised for serving and 

retired police, prison, fire and uniformed customs and border 

agency staff. Their aim is to promote physical fitness and 

camaraderie within the services around the world. 

The first Games took place in San Jose in 1985 and they 

became international in 1989 when they were held outside 

USA for the first time in Vancouver. Stockholm was the first 

European country to host the Games in 1999. The record for 

the highest number of sporting entries was in 2011, when 

over 18,000 competitors took part in the event in New York. 

The countdown to the 2013 Games began in earnest with the 

handover of the World Games flag at the closing ceremony of 

the 2011 New York Games. WPFG Federation President Mike

inject at least £15.5m into the Northern Irish economy, 

providing a welcome boost to the tourism, hospitality and 

other service sectors. 

The 2013 Games will include an estimated 10,000 participants 

competing in around 65 sports. The final plans for all sports 

and venues are currently being finalised, but this should be 

announced in June 2012. The provisional list of sports (which 

are subject to change) are listed below, and it is anticipated 

that registration for competitors will open in November 2012.

USPE TABLE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2011 

POLICE Sport UK supported a team from the 

Indoor Sports Section as they took part in the 

6th USPE Table Tennis Championships which 

took place in Palermo, Sicily. 

The full PSUK GB Team comprised: - 

• Team Delegate - Mr Neil Braithwaite, PSUK Council 

• Team Manager - Mrs Fiona Cartwright, retired, 

Lincolnshire Police 

• Team Coach - Mr Ian Ferguson, Forensic Scene Investigator, 

West Midlands Police 

Men's Team 

• Simon Dilkes, Metropolitan Police 

• Stephen Cowley, British Transport Police 

• David Sim, Tayside Police 

• Tim O'Mahoney, Wiltshire Constabulary 

10 


Ladies Team 

• Sarah Hudson, Bedfordshire Police 

• Catherine Perkins, Leicestershire Constabulary 

• Suzy Robinson, Gloucestershire Constabulary 

• Jane Ellis, Lincolnshire Police 

Police teams from 16 countries attended, all based at the 

Hotel Torre Normanna, located some 25 kilometers from the 

City of Palermo, where the championships were held at the 

modern Palaoreto Sports Centre. 

It was acknowledged that the standard of police Table Tennis 

in Europe is extremely high, with players from France, Sweden 

and Ukraine to the fore, all using established programmes for 

training and participation. 

The competition included Men's & Women's Team, Mixed 

Doubles, Doubles, & Singles events, with the format in each 

based on initial round-robin, with qualifiers moving into the 

knock-out phases. 

On the first day, the opening ceremony took place, with all 

teams gathering in the city centre, before marching off with 

National flags flying and flanked by members of the Municipal 

Police Service. After 750 metres and reaching the Civic 

Government building, the parade was greeted by senior 

dignitaries from USPE and Palermo, including the National 

police choir who provided a musical interlude, including two, 

vibrant and stirring renditions of Italy's National Anthem. 

After the conclusion of these formalities, the championships 

began with the Team events, where at the end of play, GB's 

Women's team secured the bronze medal, France taking gold 

and Austria silver. GB's Men's team reached the quarter-finals 

before bowing out, as Sweden took gold and France silver. 

Over the following two days, the Women's/Men's 

doubles/singles events took place, despite GB team players 

progressing through the round-robin stages and into the 

quarter-finals of all other events, the respective draws left GB 

players with the misfortune of playing either top or second 

seeds and all further interest in the championships 

subsequently ended. 

During the closing ceremony on Thursday evening, GB 

Women's team made the podium and received a team trophy, 

plus individual medals for their third place in the team event. 

Overall, Sweden took gold in the Men's singles, doubles, 

mixed doubles & Team events, whilst France secured gold, 

silver & bronze in the Women's singles. 

At the conclusion and during the journey home, it was agreed 

that the whole event was a great experience, whilst more GB 

success on the table would have been nice, the team spirit 

and camaraderie was excellent, as were the renowned 

landscape views of Sicily, together with the weather, whilst 

the driving experiences between hotel to venue and return 

each day was at best unforgettable…. 

The next championships will take place in 2015 with a venue 

to be decided.

opposition at the army, school of hockey, Aldershot, 

Hampshire. The poIice squad saw officers from all over the 

country including Northern Ireland converge on the Aldershot 

area to come together for a training session on the Friday to 

then find themselves head long into a fixture against the army. 

The fixture on the Saturday morning was always going to be 

tough but in the end provided focus and comparison against 

two squads who had clearly prepared in different ways. 

It was apparent from the start that the police side were far 

better organised and had taken the time to work out simple 

and effective tactics for the fixture. This was demonstrated 

within the first minute when the police took the lead with 

Surrey's Henderson converting from a slipped pass by Main 

(Leicestershire). The police dominated the early stages of the 

fixture leaving the army no opportunities to settle or in anyway 

threaten the police 25. The pressure on the army mounted 

after 11 minutes when a great move down the left saw a 

12 

resultant short corner converted from Panter (Merseyside). 

The interval came with the police side not really capitalising on 

their chances and keen to ensure the pressure continued into 

the second period. Coach Cleaven Faulkner (Hampshire) 

clarified some tactical changes that were to allow for greater 

movement of the ball in closer triangles, to work the ball 

around the opposition and maintain longer possession. The 

tactic paid dividends when in relatively quick session the police 

side were four up with goals from Main and Panter. 

The police side were now cruising and were directed to work 

opportunities that the lead catered for. The coach was able to 

take the opportunity to look at players in differing positions 

and try other short corner options. One such corner saw the 

fifth goal converted by Lucy Robinson as the game closed into 

the last ten minutes. A slight lapse in the defence did see an 

army consolation goal but the game was already over. 

"A very good performance from a side who had just been 

together for 24 hours. This fixture allowed me to see some 

strengths and weaknesses but overall I am very pleased with 

the result and more importantly the bonding the squad have 

demonstrated both on and off the field." 

Coach report - Cleaven Faulkner 

Police 6 RAF 1 

The British Police Ladies Hockey team got off to a promising 

start with a good individual goal from Mitchell (Lothian and 

Borders) after just 3 minutes. However this was going to be a 

tough match as the RAF were strong opponents and quick on 

the break which allowed them to create some chances of their 

own. British Police held them out in the early stages and went 

on to consolidate their lead with another goal early in the first 

half. Good work by Main (Leicestershire) down the right who 

brilliantly found Henderson (Surrey) on the penalty spot and 

she produced a top quality finish. The police began to 

dominate the match with plenty of controlled passing. This 

controlled play applying more and more pressure on the hard 

Working RAF team who conceded a short corner. From this 

corner the police scored again from another short corner with 

another excellent finish from Faulkner who scored her second 

of the game to make it 4-0 to the Police at half time. 

Both teams battled it out throughout the remainder of the 

first half with the RAF looking dangerous on the counter 

attack but it was the police and their sustained pressure on 

the RAF defence that were to score again from another short 

corner. The short corner routine was broken down by the 

belligerent RAF Faulkner (Hampshire) at the top of the D and 

she struck her second goal of the match. Halftime score 4-0 

to the police. 

The second half started off brightly for the RAF and they won 

a short corner early on which they scored from. The second 

half was more of an even contest as neither team was able to 

create clear chances and score until the 18th minute when yet 

more good work by Main (Leicestershire) down the right 

produced an inviting cross which Fawcett (Hampshire) didn’t 

hesitate to finish off slotting the ball past the helpless RAF 

keeper. The police sixth and final goal came in the last couple 

of minutes from the left with strong work by McKernan who 

played the ball across the RAF goal and Bemowski (West 

Midlands) scrambled it in. 

The Police ran out 6-1 winners but this score doesn't reflect 

the RAF's efforts as they were strong competition and were 

only well beaten by a strong and composed Police 

performance whose defence were resolute at the back and 

knew they were in a match.

THE PSUK Ladies basketball team prepared for the 

2nd USPE Championships in Dublin with a warm 

up game against the Dutch Police at Hendon Police 

Training Centre. After an incredible shaky start, 

not least influenced by the sight of a 6’6’’ Dutch 

player, PSUK produced a confidence boosting 30- 

15 win in a game that owed much to the 

organisation of Sarah King. 

With final preparations complete, kit supplied and Euros 

purchased, PSUK Ladies travelled to Dublin to compete in the 

championships, alongside teams from Ireland, France, Greece 

and the Netherlands. 

The opening ceremony took place at the Dublin City University 

Campus. All the teams paraded with a uniformed flag bearer 

with the PSUK being represented by Sasha McCarthy. 

PSUK’s first game was against France, the side they previously 

beat to secure the bronze in the last championships. PSUK 

made a slow start to the competition and where completely 

overwhelmed by the much improved and well-drilled French 

unit who quickly took the initiative and led 40-16 at half time. 

It was a lead the French never relinquished as the PSUK side 

were beaten 76-29 in a disappointing opening game. 

The PSUK side recovered well for the next fixture against the 

Netherlands. The first half was tight with PSUK leading 23-22 

but the second half saw them extend their advantage with 

some excellent play to win the game 50-35. 

The third fixture against reigning champions Greece proved 

to be the PSUK’s best team performance. Against a very 

strong team PSUK remained positive and never buckled under 

the pressure with the Greeks leading by just 12 points at half 

time. Playing hard to the end PSUK struggled to breach the 

deficit and lost 64-47 but could be proud of their excellent, 

uplifting performance. 

The PSUK’s final pool match was against the hosts Ireland, 

who filled the hall with in excess of 100 schoolchildren. The 

atmosphere and crowd support was incredible and inspired 

the Irish to a 78-46 win. 

This left the PSUK with a semi finals rematch against France 

with Greece playing Ireland. 

France had finished top after the pool stages and although 

the PSUK side tried a number of offensive and defensive 

options in an attempt to counter the French they were out 

played, finishing 64 -38 behind, encouragingly an 

improvement on their previous encounter.

2nd USPE. LADIES BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS 

DUBLIN - OCT 2011 

The remaining fixture between Greece and Ireland was an 

exciting game with the lead changing hands and a truly gritty 

performance seeing Ireland win 60 – 58. 

PSUK then played the Greeks for 3rd/4th place spot but went 

down 81-35 to finish in fourth place. 

The final was a true showcase, and a fitting end to the 

tournament, with Ireland showing true determination and 

passion to clinch the title 77 – 71. 

Final placing; 1st Ireland, 2nd France, 3rd Greece, 4th PSUK, 

5th Netherlands. 

Congratulations to Vanessa Calafat who was named as one of 

the All Star 5. 

Julie Skidmore, Team Manager, said: “Whilst the results were 

disappointing, PSUK remained focused and professional 

throughout the tournament and can be very proud of their 

achievements. This was a learning curve and this new and 

developing squad will learn from this experience. ‘’

British Fire Service 24 British Police 32 

THE Police Sport UK rugby league team kicked off 

2012 with an excellent victory over their Fire 

Service counterparts at Siddal, the home of one of 

the sport’s legendary amateur clubs. 

The Police side was the first on the scoresheet when Mann, not 

for the last time in the game, used his deceptive footwork to 

break two tackles. The ball was moved to Southwell who drove 

into the twenty taking three defenders with him, before 

offloading to Cowling who drew the full-back and put the ever 

present Hughes under the sticks. The extra two points were 

added by Newton. 

The early pressure and dominance was maintained by the Police 

and on the back of strong drives and good lines by Rotherham, 

Eastham and Heeley the attack was taken to their opponent's 

line. A clever dummy inside by Hughes saw Clemie collect the 

ball on a fine blind side arc to cross the line in the left corner for 

an unconverted try to make it 10-0. 

The British Fire Service began to find their feet with several 

promising attacks down their left side prompted by the lively 

scrum half but these were repeatedly thwarted by the efforts of 

Dixon, Murphy and Taylor until the half hour mark when the Fire 

Service hit back with a converted try from their scrum half, 

shortly followed by two tries out wide by each winger. The 

conversions were missed, but suddenly the Police were 14-10 

down at the break. 

During the half time talk Head Coach, Robinson, asked for 

improvement in discipline, staying on the ball and set 

completions and he got his wish with the police side on the 

attack for the early stages of the half. Unfortunately it was from 

such an attack deep in the twenty that saw a stray pass from 

Newton swept up by the rival number 4 to race away and score 

under the posts. The conversion was added as the Police went 

20-10 down. 

The Police side reduced the arrears to four points when 

Woodhead scored a try after good work from Southwell. 

Newton tagged on the extras to make it 20-16. 

Back came the Fire Service to register another converted score to 

go 24-16 ahead but once again the police side hit back with 

Clemie feeding Eastham for a try wide out. With Newton 

momentarily off the pitch, the conversion was missed. 

Whilst the Police were keeping theirs, the Fire Service were losing 

their discipline and with the likes of Huck dancing his way past 

defenders, Williams, Rowland and Higgins probing and inviting 

the forwards into the gaps, it wasn't long before Woodhead was 

once more too big and too powerful, to score a mirror image of 

his first try. Williams knocked over the two to go 26-24 ahead. 

The game was now on a knife edge going in to the last ten, but 

veteran Chappell calmed the nerves, defying his 43 years to carry 

the ball over the line. Newton converted, the whistle went and 

the Police were 24-32 winners. 

Although not everything was perfect, this was a good, hard hit 

out for the British Police to take into their Challenge Cup tie in 

Cumbria against Millom.
