Sheringham Youth U12s 0 v 2 Sheringham Warriors U12s
On a windy day Sheringham Warriors took on local rivals Sheringham Youth in what turned
out to be a completely one sided affair. Both teams impeccably observed a minute's
silence for Remembrance Sunday before the kick-off. Sheringham Warriors got off to a good
start with Jacob Knowles terrorizing the Sheringham defence but the Warriors just couldn't
convert their chances but with the wind with them they were trying to play football but it
was very difficult to keep the ball under control. It wasn't long from the Warriors
consent pressure that the Sheringham keeper spilled a shot for Jodi Norris to be on hand
to knock into the empty net. Nick Blake was having a lot of joy down the right hand
side and was working hard to keep the ball in Sheringham's half. The Warriors then
got their second when Jodi Norris broke through rounded the keeper and slotted home.
The Warriors were unlucky not to add to their goals but fine work by the Sheringham keeper
kept them in the game. At half time it was 0-2 to Sheringham Warriors.
In the second half Sheringham youth had the wind with them and resorted to playing a long
ball game trying to play it from the keeper to the centre forwards but Ali Burghall, Tom
Harrison, John Reynolds and Tommy Bywater were in brilliant form dealing with everything
that came at them, James Mitchell who had been a spectator in the first half was fully
alert and anything that bounced over the defenders head was easily picked up by him.
Shane Cox and Cameron Humphrey were in total control in the midfield with
Sheringham having to have four players to try and deal with Shane Cox's dominant play but
still Sheringham could not get a grip. Will Parker was working hard down the right
this half putting in some teasing balls, which the Warriors were unlucky not to convert.
Josh Glister and Ben Conn were put up front, with Ben being unlucky not to score a
couple of goals thanks to Sheringham's keeper. The Warriors were battling for every
ball and comfortably ran out winners thanks to another superb team performance, the game
finished 0-2 to Sheringham Warriors. The club recently lost a very dear friend and
colleague with the death of Mick Oregan. We would like to thank all of Mick's
friends and family who through their generosity, in memory of Mick, have donated the sum
of £699.85 to our club. We would like to assure them all that this money will be
used to provide direct benefit to the many young people that were fortunate to have known
him. Charles Sanders. Chairman

NORFOLK NHS DENTISTRY CRISIS
Almost 1 in 5 contracts offered to NHS dentists in Norfolk have been rejected since the
new system was introduced, according to new figures obtained by North Norfolk Liberal
Democrat MP Norman Lamb.
27 out of the 143 NHS dental contracts offered were rejected before the new system came
into being on 1st April this year.
There are also a number of contracts still in dispute throughout the county. In
addition to increasing the pressure on remaining NHS practices in the county, there are
concerns that the significant numbers refusing to sign the new contract will result in
people in rural areas having to travel long distances for treatment.
The local Strategic Health Authority (SHA) claims the lost capacity has largely been
replaced but the decline in NHS practices often means that local people have to go much
further to access treatment.
Norman Lamb MP said, "I was shocked to see exactly how many practitioners have
gone private in such a short time frame. We are clearly facing a dentistry crisis in
Norfolk and I am concerned the situation will only get worse. When the new contracts
were introduced we were told they would improve access to treatment. I'm now
regularly contacted by constituents who simply cannot find a NHS dentist within a
reasonable travelling distance, so this clearly doesn't seem to ring true."
ROTARY CONCERT MONEY FOR SHERINGHAM MUSEUM
The Sheringham Museum Trust is £500 better off, thanks to a classical charity concert
organised by Cromer and Sheringham Rotary Club.
The concert, presented by the North Norfolk Orchestral Society and entitled 'Last Night
of The Proms was attended by over 160 people who packed into St. Peter's Church in
Sheringham.
The first part of the concert included three pieces by Mozart (including the piano
soloist playing the Concerto number 23), followed after the interval by well-known
compositions by Sullivan, Handel, Hamilton Harty (with mezzo-soprano soloist) and Sousa's
Liberty Bell (with organ soloist) - culminating in the traditional rousing pieces Rule
Britannia, Pomp and Circumstance and Jerusalem with full participation from the audience.
The soloists were Karen Smith (piano), Pamela Warren (mezzo-soprano) and Alan Morris
the long-standing church organist. The North Norfolk Orchestral Society was led by Pat
Shaw and conducted by Freddie Pointer.
At the conclusion Rotary President, Peter Stibbons presented a cheque for £500 to
Museum Trust President, Mary Blyth. "This was our first venture of this kind in
Sheringham" he said, "and the evidence of tonight's successful joint effort we'd
love to undertake another one". Alan Caine |
