T
he third annual Gravity Rush held by SHAPE saw
homemade go-karts race through the streets of Jamestown in front of a captivated crowd. Some spectators
got more than they expected when the high speed action
crossed the safety barrier between racer and audience.
An unfortunate run of accidents saw four people taken
to the Jamestown Hospital as a precautionary measure.
Twelve teams raced to become Gravity Rush 2015
Champions and in the end it was new cart ‘Skeleton’
that pipped ‘Bring It’ to the line.
The morning started bright but clouds closed in and
it was a grey day that always threatened to rain. The

French Visitors in the Harbour
Last Visit of the Albatros
Jane Durnford, SAMS
Stern of the Albatros
A
rriving at St Helena on Tuesday morning
was the French Navy vessel Albatros. The ship
is on its way to Brest in France, where it will
be decommissioned after 47 years serving the
French Navy.
Whilst the ship was in the harbour, the fiftyman crew took turns coming ashore over the
two days. On the first day, the captain and 25
crew members attended a remembrance ser-
vice at Napoleon’s tomb and later had drinks
with the Acting Governor and Mrs Burns and
invited guests at the Briars Pavillion.
At the remembrance service at the Tomb, Acting Governor Sean Burns welcomed all onboard the Albatross to St Helena. In his speech
saying, “St Helena’s connection with France is
well know and firmly embedded in the island’s
history that linked back to 200 years when the
Emperor Napoleon was exiled to St Helena.”
Captain Commander Riaz Akhoune followed
with some of his own words in French for his
crew members, as it was a great honour for
them to pay tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte.
The Albatros has been responsible for patrolling a staggering 2.25 million square meters
of some of France’s remotest islands in the
Southern Ocean, some of it in very inhospitable conditions.
Only way on and off
is via a rope ladder

There is no Greater Love
than a Mothers Love
for a Child
A Day for Mothers to Share Experiences and Enjoy Good Company
Anne Clarke, SAMS
P
rince's Lodge was filled with laughter and
baby babble on Wednesday 10 June, when 50
mothers and their babies came together for an
away day hosted by Midwife Rosie Mittens
and Community Staff Nurse Marilyn Pidgley.
The day consisted of many activities for both
mothers and babies as well as a chance for
mothers to sit down in a comforting atmosphere and share their stories with one another.
"I initiated this day to try and bring together all
of the mothers and babies," said Rosie, "and to
basically have a fun day out and share experiences with each other."
The doors were opened at 10am and parents
were invited to stay until 3pm. Questionnaires
were circled, "to see how our services can be
improved," said Rosie, "there were also questions about midwifery and child health."
Mothers attending the event appeared to have
had a good time, "it's been an opportunity to
say hello to everyone and exchange stories
on sleeping habits and feeding," said mummy
Tara Thomas, "you can become a little isolated
when you are at home, so it's a good chance to
meet up and talk to other mums," she added.
Sarah Williams told The Sentinel, "everybody
experiences different things and I found it very
interesting to be a part of the event."
Midwife Rosie Mittens was very pleased with
the turnout on the day, "everybody seemed to
have enjoyed the day and a lot of mummies
informed that they hope that we will continue
to hold an event such as this in the future."

SENTINEL Free Glasses for ALL Children
COMMENT Scheme Expanded to Include 17 and 18-Year-Olds
Nicole Peters, SAMS
F
eeling down? Haven’t had the best of
days?
There are times when we all suffer from being upset, need a little cheering up, or just
don’t feel our normal selves. I have to admit,
there are times when I, personally, have not
felt or acted the way I should do, and have let
the smallest things just ruin my mood entirely. It’s a horrible feeling, I know, and we’ve
all been there! But I’m here to help turn that
frown upside down. Here are a few pick-meups which just might be handy if ever you
need them.
Write a list: Sometimes we are simply just
overwhelmed with the amount of things that
are happening in our lives. Preparing for exams is one example.
So keep your tasks organised with a to-do
list. Things which first seem complicated to
juggle will seem more controlled having a
planned timetable.
Keep active: There is nothing like getting
out of the house and enjoying a bit of exercise. Any workout of any sort can lift your
mood completely and is a great way to relieve stress.
Allow some TLC: It is always good to take
time out for YOU. Feeling better about yourself on the outside can make you feel so
much better on the inside. Why not take a relaxing bath or try a new hairstyle. Pampering
sessions can be the simplest things but can
make a huge improvement on your mood.
Music: With the help of the lyrics or beat
of certain songs, listening to music can be a
great healer. Let loose, whether you choose
to sing or bust a move. Turn up that volume!
Talk to someone: If anything is bothering
you, one of the best things to do is to share
it with a friend. There’s nothing worse than
‘bottling it up’ as they say.
I like to think that life is too short to be unhappy. So jump around, do the twist (like
Martin George), and enjoy the company of
your loved ones. I hope everyone has a brilliant week!

guests and parents for the enrolment of two

Natasha Stevens and Prudence Joshua are in

The Association operates in districts across
the island, all of which are driven forward by
volunteer leaders. During weekly meetings
girls and young women are given a space to
be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life skills and make a positive difference to their lives and communities.
"We build girls confidence and raise their aspirations. We give them the chance to discover
their full potential," said Prudence.
Branch Commissioner Alice Phillips took the
liberty of awarding the new leaders and rainbows with a promise badge before the ceremony concluded with a bring and share.
would like to extend a sincere thank-you to
doctor Francisco and midwives Rosie Mittens

Making Queues “More Manageable”
Successful Bank Kiosk a Good Move for Bank of St Helena
Liam Yon, SAMS
I
n September 2014, the Bank of St Helena
(BoSH) introduced the Bank Kiosk at the Customs Terminal building. The aim of the kiosk
was to combat the build-up of large queues
as, “there was a noticeable increase of activity from customers,” at BoSH said Mercia
George, Marketing and Customer Services
Manager.
The kiosk has been in operation for ten months
and Mercia said, “It’s been going well.” Once
the kiosk became widely known, the frequency of use increased and, “it has been building
ever since.”
The kiosk is located at the Customs Terminal
Building across the bridge. “We gave customers the option of another banking option
in Jamestown,” said Mercia, “and obviously
there is considerable activity in that lower area
with office staff and also other business activity.” Ship days also played a big part in the
choosing of the location.
BoSH received good customer feedback from
their satisfaction survey, with customers finding the kiosk, “extremely useful.” Along with
their Mobile Banking sites, Mercia said the
kiosk has been very successful. “The kiosk
has been a welcome edition,” she said, “it has
helped to spread the load so that the queues are
more manageable.”
The kiosk offers, “most of the teller services
that you will get at the main bank,” including
cash withdrawals, pay-ins, account transfers,
credit/debit card cash advances and currency
exchange. Opening times for the bank kiosk are Thursdays and Fridays from 9am till
2.30pm and on ship days.

Kerry Yon’s new craft shop
Crafty Couple
Starting Small
Jane Durnford, SAMS
H
usband and wife team Garron and Kerry
Yon have been making craft items since 2009.
They first started creating a small supply of St
Helena-themed Christmas cards to sell in one
small shop. Since then the business has grown
and they now have stock in various shops, including the Arts and Crafts, and have recently
secured a unit upstairs in the Market.
Kerry has been making craft for the most of
her life, and has always been interested in craft
activities. Kerry also learnt to make crochet
which is now incorporated into GK Crafts.
Garron has an interest in paper, with these
combined interests; GK Crafts was born using
their first initials.
Kerry is still in full employment but Garron
now works full time on the business, which
takes over and above the normal working
hours. When not producing items for sale, the
couple practise making products that could
turn into an item for sale.
When ordering supplies the couple must plan
ahead for special events such as Father’s Day.
They have become better at managing orders
as it is a lengthy process to get supplies.
Kerry and Garron are always looking for ways
to expand their range and now they have their
own premises in the Market they will build on
that. When asked about where the pair gets
their inspiration from, Kerry said, “It can really be from everything, it could be good views
or scenery or an item of clothing, which could
trigger an idea.”
The couple have also noticed an increase in
sales, as people are buying more locally-made
items and they have now expanded to more
shops. One of the cruise ship visits earlier in
the year saw GK Crafts have two outlets selling items to tourists, one was in Jamestown
and the other was on Longwood green, but as
Kerry said “sometimes tourists are just not interested in buying souvenirs”.
GK Crafts have recently moved to their new
premises and when asked what it is like compared to having to pack up their stock at the
end of the day and taking it home, Kerry said,
“It’s like a dream to have everything set out, so
customers can see the items clearly,” and now
they don’t have the worry of booking a table in
the Market up to 10 days in advance and customers can browse and come back to the Market Unit if they cannot make their mind up.
GK Crafts specialises in various cards, gifts
and homemade island souvenirs, their unit in
the Market is open three days a week and orders can be placed for items such as birthday
and wedding invitations.

HUMOUR
O
ne day Frank was happily minding his own business when he heard
some chanting coming from next door. “Twenty one, twenty one twenty
one..”. After listening for a few minutes curiosity got the better of him
and he strolled over to see if he could figure out what it was all about.
Nearing the house he spotted a small hole in the wall. Frank bent down

a finger came out of the hole and poked him in the eye. Frank fell back
clutching his eye, he then heard the chanting change “twenty two twenty

A lady came in for a routine physical at the doctor’s office . “Here,” said
the nurse, handing her a urine specimen container. “The bathroom is over
there on your right. The doctor will be with you in a few minutes.”
A few minutes later the lady came out of the bathroom with an empty
container and a relieved look on her face.
“Thanks! But they had a toilet in there, so I didn’t need this after all!”

SENTINEL REBOOT - Local news from this time last year
Both Sainttrading containers that should have arrived on St Helena this week are
stuck in Cape Town, removed from the RMS St Helena by South African Customs just
before the vessel sailed for St Helena.
Go-Kart racing through Jamestown for Gravity Rush 2014 was another fantastically
successful day out on Sunday, organised again superbly by SHAPE Manager, Martin
Joshua. This is surely now a permanent community fixture on St Helena’s annual calendar after just it’s second staging. Fifteen go-karts of various designs and ‘controllability’
thrilled a crowd estimated between 600 – 800.
Football: Rovers celebrated a brilliant display of football on Sunday as they knocked
Basil Read off the top of the table by five goals to two.

all the drivers had their alcohol breath tests administered by the police. No drivers from the twelve teams
failed.
When the driving was finished the prizes were given out to Champions Skeleton with Pilling Primary
picking up the junior school cup when Red Devils
proceeded further than St Paul’s Bumble Bee kart.
There were moments of sad reflection in the announcement that the Gravity Rush Cup would be renamed in honour of Sharon George, who worked tirelessly with SHAPE and was loved across the island,
who unfortunately died earlier this year.
With all the prizes collected, and the bank holiday
Monday to recover, the party really started. The
crowds enjoyed the stalls on offer and music by the
Big Easy entertained everyone late into the night. It
was a great day enjoyed by all the drivers but with the
injuries sustained by the spectators many have asked
if this will be the last Gravity Rush for St Helena.

Prince Andrew School 25th Anniversary Celebrations
Contribution, PAS
O
n Saturday, 6th June Prince Andrew
School held its 25th Anniversary Dinner
Dance at the Rock Club. Attending were former head teachers and education officers, support and ancillary staff and teachers spanning
the history of the school from its inception,
right up to the present day. The Big Easy, who
entertained the guests, were simply fantastic!
Headteacher, Mr Paul Starkie, commented
on the year’s events: “Over the year we have
seen the performance by ‘Blue Magic’ and had
the memorable production of ‘We will Rock
You’. There was our Open Day and special
25th Anniversary assembly. In the foyer of the
school we provided a display of memorabilia
and a collage in the shape of ‘25’ of the current school community. We had the planting
of 25 ebony trees on the school site, a highly
successful fashion show and more recently our
fun day was very well attended.”
Mr Starkie also spoke of the key role the school
has played in the community: “Prince Andrew
School has always been very much a family
school with a caring and supportive philosophy. Many young people have been through
Prince Andrew School over the last 25 years
and most have gone on to be highly successful
in a range of careers. All have benefited from
the learning experiences the teachers and support staff have provided.
“Students leaving PAS today enter the global
employment network and it is now more important than ever that our young people are
aspirational, with the drive and determination
to succeed. We also want them to have the personal skills and the values to enable them to be
successful in work and life.
“From a distance, the fabric of the school may
not appear to have changed very much over
25 years. However, thanks to a succession
of innovative staff, provision for our students
has never stood still. It has not always been a
smooth ride, of course, and we have all had to
be resilient in seeking solutions to the many
challenges staff have faced over the years. Our
present compliment of staff epitomise the best
traditions of the school with their commitment
and professionalism. We are never complacent
and are constantly striving to improve. We
are all very proud to be associated with Prince
Andrew School. I thank everyone for continuing support and for being ambassadors for our
school in the wider community.”
Plans for Conservation to go Global!
On Friday 5th June the Conservation Enrichment group braved the wind and rain to
begin collecting information for their latest
project. The twelve students, accompanied
by four members of staff excitedly boarded
Johnny Herne’s boat, The Enchanted Isle, to
be taken to Lemon Valley to undertake underwater photography.
The purpose of the trip was to take photographs of the marine life, in particular endemic species, and use them to document
the natural wonders and conservation issues
on and around the island. The photographs
will be accompanied by text describing the
marine habitat around St Helena. It will also
outline some of the current problems that are
being faced in order to preserve and protect
our beautiful environment. This information
will be just a small part of the group’s project which will ultimately involve collecting
and compiling information about all the key
species and habitats of St Helena. The plan
is to upload the finished project onto the UK
Overseas Territories Conservation Forum
(UKOTCF) website to enable the information
to be available on a global scale.
Seven of the twelve students jumped into the
chilly sea without a second thought and set
to work scanning the water for marine life.
This was no mean feat, particularly as they
all had to keep their life jackets on making it very difficult for them to move! Rhez
Crowie and Liam Adams manned the camera and did a fantastic job taking as many
underwater pictures as they could in the
time available.
The trip was great fun for staff and students
alike and credit should be given to the students whose positive behaviour and good
humour made it an enjoyable and worthwhile experience for all.

The Pharisees were more concerned about
their outward appearance to man than they
were about their personal relationship to God.
Jesus denounced their attempts to make themselves look good in giving, prayer, and fasting.
He told His disciples to pray, give, and fast in
secret, and then the Father would reward them
openly. Being seen and praised by others cannot hold a candle to what God has in store for
those who serve and love Him with sincere

WORLD NEWS SNIPPETS
US 2016
US 2016 Presidential Race Heats Up
The presidential race in the United States has
been heating up, with most of the forerunners
stepping forward. After much media speculation, Jeb Bush, brother of former president
George W, and son of George HW Bush, has
finally announced that he will be running for
the Republican Party’s presidential nomination. Bush has recently faced sustained criticism for delaying the announcement of his
candidacy, therefore allowing him to operate
outside the rules which govern how a candidate can fundraise.
Bush has also faced criticism after the media
has unearthed a 2001 law which was introduced when he was governor of Florida. The
so-called Scarlet Letter law “required single
mothers who did not know the identity of the
father to publish their sexual histories in a
newspaper before they could legally put their
babies up for adoption,” the Huffington Post’s
Laura Bassett reported. This ‘name-andshame’ legislation was only replaced when a
court in Florida deemed it unconstitutional on
the grounds that it was an invasion of the privacy of individuals.
However, as CNN points out, this criticism
which has been levelled at Bush from American progressives may actually be a boon to
him in his bid for the GOP nomination as it
shows him as a man who values the so-called
‘traditional family unit’ which American conservative voters value.
The frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for president, Hillary Clinton, has also
come under fire recently. Media magnate Rupert Murdoch – who this week incidentally
announced he will step down as CEO at 21st
Century Fox – took to Twitter on Sunday to
falsely claim that Clinton wants to “outlaw
free speech” about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
and Trans issues (LGBT). “Sounds almost
fascist,” Murdoch continued. However it is
unclear which part of the speech Murdoch
was referring to.
Murdoch’s right-wing mouthpiece Fox
News has also launched unsubstantiated attacks on Clinton. For instance anchor Sean
Hannity said he could not find any instance
of Hillary Clinton standing up for women’s
rights in the Middle East, claiming that her
silence had been bought by these countries
in the form of donations to her foundation.
However Media Matters pointed out that on
a number of occasions Clinton has addressed
women’s rights in the countries which
Hannity named.

Morsi Sentenced to Life
Man Attacks Texas Police HQ
A court in Egypt has sentenced former president Mohamed Morsi to life imprisonment for
charges of spying for Hamas, Hezbollah and
Iran.
Sentences were also handed down to a number
of other members of the Muslim Brotherhood
for their involvement in the trial. Morsi has already received a death sentence in an unrelated
trial which rights group Amnesty International
called a “sham.” “This verdict shatters any
remaining illusion of independence and impartiality in Egypt’s criminal justice system,”
Amnesty’s Deputy Middle East and North Africa Director Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui said.
Earlier this year the New York Times argued
this crackdown on Islamists in the country
“under the baseless contention that they are
inherently dangerous, is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
Al Jazeera
Early on Saturday morning a man opened
fire on a police headquarters in Dallas, Texas.
Later in the afternoon he was shot and killed
by a police sniper. “Authorities say it was
miraculous no one else was injured in Saturday’s attack,” the Guardian reported.
Fox News came under criticism on Media
Matter for America’s website for questioning
how the gunman could buy an armoured vehicle “but ignored questions about how [he]
acquired an arsenal of firearms and bombs.”
The conservative news station, which is unapologetic in its defence of the US Second
Amendment which protects citizens’ right
to own guns, ran a segment showing how
simple it was to by military surplus vehicles
online. CNN were also criticised for their
claims that mental illness may “lead to violence” on two occasions.
Media Matters/CNN/The Guardian
In Brief
The community on Canna was ‘in turmoil’
this week after the island’s first crime in
years was recorded on Friday when thieves
stole from the local shop. The shop, which
usually is left unlocked so that fishermen can
buy what they need and use the free Wi-Fi,
was ransacked of sweets, chocolate bars and
biscuits.
Elsewhere Chris Evans has signed a contract with the BBC to head up an all-new
Top Gear team. The future of the show has
been in jeopardy since the sacking of Jeremy
Clarkson after he punched a producer.
Russian president Vladimir Putin has unveiled an army theme park, dubbed a ‘military Disneyland’. “Lunch consists of army
rations, shopping is mainly for Vladimir
Putin accessories, and instead of riding rollercoasters children can play with grenade
launchers and clamber over heavy weaponry,” the Guardian reported.

NOTICE BOARD
DO YOU KNOW
WHERE YOUR
CHILDREN ARE?
DO YOU KNOW WHERE
YOUR CHILDREN ARE?
The Safeguarding Children’s Board has today launched an awareness campaign around knowing where your children are.
This is not a campaign that threatens the family events that we all
cherish on the Island, that seeks to stop children and young people
having fun, or that impinges on their rights.
We simply want to protect all children and young people from harm
- and central to this is knowing that they are in a safe environment at an appropriate time.
The Safeguarding Children’s Board is committed to working with
the community and understands that there will be times when children and young people are out later than normal, enjoying family
events. We fully support this as it is important that family values and
events are promoted and celebrated.
Where the Board does have concerns is when children and young
people are in and around licensed premises well into the night, and
sometimes into the early hours of the morning. In such circumstances, Police Officers may well enquire as to why children and young
people are out so late and where there are concerns, they will be
encouraged to return home.
These are isolated events, but we as a community have an obligation
to protect all of our children and young people. The Safeguarding
Children’s Board is not a parent or a guardian – but in the interest
of your children’s safety, we would ask that you know where your
children are at all times and support the agencies that seek to protect
our children and young people.

years but its new premises will provide a better working environment for the staff.
The paint was still drying when The Sentinel visited the new building to see the heavy lifting equipment
being used to offload the large printing presses. The move had been carefully planned as the window
between producing the newspapers is very short. There will be a full report in next week’s Sentinel.
Seeing the Wood
for the Trees
New Internal Auditor
Looking to Build a Team
August Graham, SAMS
H
aving spent just over a month on St Helena, the island’s new Head of Internal Audit
John Kanes feels he is settling in well. He
hopes to ensure the internal auditors are seen
as trusted advisers who people come to for
advice. Speaking to The Sentinel Mr Kanes
wished to challenge the perceptions of what
internal audit entails. It is the job of external
audit to ensure that financial statements are in
order whereas Mr Kanes’ internal audit team
are focussed around providing advice to SHG.
“We look at financial things when we need
to,” Mr Kanes said, however the job generally
involves looking at anything that the government is doing. “We’ll look at what someone’s
doing and what they’re trying to achieve,” and
help them maximise the benefits from the projects.
Internal auditors “come in and see the wood
for the trees,” and Mr Kanes was keen to
Head of Internal Audit
John Kanes
highlight that this is not accounting, in fact
it’s more about listening to other’s problems.
The word audit even comes from the Latin for
hearing. Mr Kanes said auditors need to be inquisitive “or as I sometimes put it nosy” and
have the ability to ask questions, even stupid
ones.
When he arrived on the island Mr Kanes was
told that he has no staff as the last member of
internal audit had left her job the day before.
However he says that this is a “mixed blessing” as it will allow him to build his team from
scratch. He will therefore be looking to recruit
new staff for the department.
Mr Kanes says he is enjoying island life. He
has previously lived in Kent in England and
used to work at the British Houses of Parliament.

Comair Top SA Customer Satisfaction
Survey - St Helena gets New Airport Code
August Graham, SAMS
S
t Helena’s future air services provider, Comair, has come out well from a survey in South
Africa. The latest SA Customer Satisfaction
Index on the country’s domestic airlines has
found the company to have the second highest customer satisfaction rate in the country.
Comair scored 75 of 100, considerably higher
than the industry average of 69.1, however
they did poorly on dealing with customer complaints.
It was also announced on Tuesday afternoon
that the Island’s IATA code, which is used to
identify airports, has been confirmed. IATA,
the International Air Transport Association,
assigns unique three-letter codes for airports.
Passengers flying to and from St Helena will
find the letters HLE on their documentation.
There were not many options for St Helena,
as most of the obvious choices have already
Mobiles by September
been taken, however HLE was recommended
by Legislative Council and Endorsed by Executive Council and has now been assigned
by IATA.
Furthermore rumours that Atlantic Star will
be flying from Luton Airport seem to be unfounded. Despite CH Aviation reporting this,
Captain Andrew Radford, the Director of Atlantic Star, told The Sentinel that the article
was “speculative” and that it is “unlikely to
be Luton.”

L
arry ‘Nails’ Thomas and eight time defending champion, Scott Crowie are locked
in a tie for first place following the third
round in Longwood Golf Club’s Open Championship.
In the second qualifying round Scott’s one
under par saw him claw back the two shot
lead Lawson Henry had opened up in round
one, and Deon De Jager’s 72 was enough for
him to finish the qualifiers in second, some five
shots behind Scott. However, since the club
adopted a new format for the Open a few years
back, these scores were insignificant and the 12
qualifiers started from scratch for the final two
rounds of the event.
Lawson’s good form deserted him and although
he improved by five shots in round three, the
lead has now changed hands. ‘Nails’, who was
16 shots of the pace following the qualifying
Nick Stevens will need to
make up ground if he is
to challenge for the title

earned him the final spot in the first four ball,

In the ladies sector, Sonia Niemand has
opened up a commanding eleven shot lead

Football; Manchester City have tabled a second bid of around £40m for Liverpool and
England forward Raheem Sterling, according
to Sky sources. Sky reported on Tuesday that
Chelsea were interested in signing the 20-yearold but were not prepared to meet Liverpool’s
£50m valuation for the player. With the winger
refusing to sign a contract extension at Anfield,
a number of Europe’s clubs have been linked
with a move, but it would seem only City have
made any official bid. It is understood City had
a £25m-plus bid rejected last week and Sky
sources are reporting on Wednesday that last
season’s Premier League runners-up have returned having improved their initial offer by a
figure in the region of £10-15m.
Skyports News
Football; Chelsea have agreed a season-long
loan deal with Monaco for Radamel Falcao,
according to Sky sources. Falcao spent last
season on loan at Manchester United but boss
Louis van Gaal opted against making the move
permanent after he scored just four goals in 26
Premier League appearances. Falcao made his
name in Europe with Mourinho’s former club
Porto, where he 41 goals in the Portuguese
Primera and 21 in 21 appearances in Europe.
He moved to Atletico Madrid for £35million
in 2011 where he continued to be prolific, scoring 70 goals in 90 appearances in all competitions. Monaco signed him in 2013 for £52m
but he suffered from injuries and played just
22 times over two season, scoring 13 goals in
all competitions. Falcao, who has 25 goals in
52 appearances for Colombia, was under considerable scrutiny at Old Trafford last season
during an expensive loan for United, and was
criticised by Van Gaal for a lack of fitness.

NBA; The Golden State Warriors won their
first NBA title in 40 years, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 to take the best-of-seven
series 4-2. Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala,
the Most Valuable Player in the finals series,
had 25 points apiece. LeBron James once again
led the injury-hit Cavaliers with a game-high
32 points. “This is something special. From the
start of the season this is what we envisioned,”
said Curry. The Warriors were the top-seeded
team in the play-offs after having the best record in the regular season and they become the
first team since the Chicago Bulls in 1991 to
win a title with no players having prior finals
experience. Steve Kerr also becomes the first
rookie coach to capture the crown since Pat
Riley with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1982.

Harts’ midfielder, Carlyn Yon, with eyes on a loose ball
Harts 2 - 2 Rovers
Sat 13 June 2015 - Match Report
August Graham, SAMS
continued from back page
Despite their initial pressure, Harts were often
outmuscled and bullied off the ball, even in
the beginning of their game when their dominance was clear. Rovers, who seemed to be
playing a 4-1-4-1 formation, showed physical
supremacy which allowed the team to put their
impression on the match. This was especially
noticeable on two occasions when they combined it with skilful passing to get themselves
into a position to shoot. Wayne Crowie almost
scored an own goal less than ten minutes af-
ter the team conceded their first when another nicely-weighted cross from Harts’ right
wing forced Crowie to intervene. However
his attempted headed clearance did not go as
planned and forced his keeper to make a save.
When preparing for the ensuing corner the two
had a heated discussion.
Rovers’ Denny Leo looked sharp throughout
the game ensuring that the opposition keeper
was tested on a few occasions. His attempts on
goal paid off in the 35th minute when nice interplay between Leo and Ross O’Dean let the
former burst through the defence on the left
side of the penalty area and slot a good shot
that, despite the keeper getting a hand to it,
sailed into the far side of the goal. The roar of
the crowd and the celebrations following the

goal saw Leo lose his bandana with a big smile
on his face.
But Rovers’ joy did not last long as their opponents soon took back the lead, with a brilliant strike on the volley by Shane Stroud from
outside the area sailing into the goal to the
crowd’s delight. However once again the scoring team’s period of celebration was brutally
interrupted as Rico Benjamin pulled the trigger to make it 2-2 shortly before the half-time
whistle.
The second half, which took almost 90 minutes
from start to finish, saw less goals, but much
more drama. Not long after the game resumed
Rovers scored their third of the game, which
was disallowed. Denny Leo crossed a ball into
the box and a collision between the striker and
keeper meant the ball trickled into the net. But
the collision between the two caused the referee to award Harts a free kick.
However sadly the game took a worse turn
as two players went down in the Rovers’ half
of the pitch. It was to be 40 minutes before
play resumed again. One of the Rovers players, Gary Benjamin, had a neck injury and was
taken to hospital as a precautionary measure;
however he was lucky and quickly recovered.
Once the ambulance had left the pitch, being
applauded away by everyone on Francis Plain,
the players were well-rested after the 40-minute break in play. The game therefore picked
up good speed again. Immediately after the
whistle Harts went on the attack and missed a
shot from outside the penalty area.
Harts had one of the last good goal scoring
chances of the game as Rico Williams dinked a
Barcelona-esque ball over the Rovers defence
and into the opposition box, falling for his
striker, Jason George, who missed despite the
keeper having been wrong footed to the opposite side of the goal. After the final whistle
the score remained the same as before the start
of the second half, with both teams picking up
one point from this 2-2 draw.

he first goal came not long after kick off in Saturday’s
second game. Only ten minutes after the whistle Chris
Owen showed great skill to allow the ball roll through
his legs and out towards the right wing. Wrongfooting
his defender he was given good time and space to lift the
ball into the penalty area for Carlyn Yon to nod over the
head of the keeper, and into the back of the net. It seemed
early on that Harts were in charge of the game, they were
applying pressure, especially down that right wing which
led to the first goal. However this early anxiety for Rovers would not define the game which saw both sides push
forward on a number of occasions.
