Match Report: Paviors RFC 52 – 48 Wolverhampton RFC

Regional 2 Midlands North – September 16

This weekend Arnold‘s Pavs welcomed Wolverhampton RFC to The Stump in the latest round of the Midlands North 2 competition.

The two clubs last met in the early 1980’s, so a bit of an unknown for both.

Pavs were able to welcome back Kieran Wells and Jared Kelly as well introduce young Aussie flanker Tom Gladwin from the bench

On a sultry afternoon at a verdant Burntstump, it was Pavs who took the early initiative when wing Alex Rimmington finished off a sweeping move to give them the lead, with the George Billam extras at 7-0.

No-one could predict the ensuing events that became a roller coaster of emotion, swinging from to elation to disappointment from one minute to the next.

Lock Ben Allen was forced off on nineteen minutes which allowed Tom Gladwin to take his place on the back row.

On twenty three minutes Wolverhampton struck back via a strong forward drive to level the score at 7-7. Pavs scored two mores tries in the next eight minutes, with Phil Eggleshaw and Theo Collier touching down, and with George Billam in fine kicking form, giving Pavs the lead at 21-7.

Again Wolverhampton struck back before hooker Kieran Wells finished off a forward drive to bring the score to 28-14 on thirty six minutes.

At this stage Pavs seemed to engage the wrath of the official who repeatedly penalised them at the ruck. As a result Wolverhampton established themselves very much on the front foot and scored two tries in the last four minutes of the half to level the score to 28-28.

After the break, it was Wolverhampton who immediately grabbed control of the game with a direct approach which garnered a number of penalties from the referee. Pavs could hardly get their hands on the ball and as a result a now energised Wolverhampton scored three tries in nine minutes to give them an emphatic lead at 45-28.

So Pavs were seventeen points behind with thirty minutes left to go in the game. This did look insurmountable given the context of what was happening in the pitch.

On fifty four minutes it was Kieran Wells’ try and Billam’s now customary conversion that begun the fight back with Pavs behind at 35-45.

After a period of stalemate and on sixty nine minutes wing Dan Flint went in to bring the score to 40-45 in favour of the away side.

Wolverhampton then kicked a further penalty to bring extend their lead to 48-40 with seven minutes left.

It was now Pavs who looked the more energised side. Dan Flint touched down again with Pavs now getting the ball and moving it wide to bring Pavs one point behind at 48-47.

Finally, on seventy eight minutes Pavs got their noses in front when a George Billam break was finished off by Dan Flint. A final Billam conversion gave Pavs the winning lead at 52-48. 

This was a game of fifteen tries with two sides playing slightly different but equally effective styles.

Wolverhampton will be extremely disappointed at squandering a seventeen point lead as much as Pavs will be disappointed in giving it to them. It is probably time to whip out the “curate’s egg” metaphor. Pavs were good in parts and exceptional in rowing back from a seventeen point deficit, but they still know that there is much to work on. Assuredly, limiting the penalty count and defence will take some reflecting on during the week. No-one can, however, deny the resilience and temerity that gave them today’s hard fought for victory.

Next weekend 23rd September, Pavs travel to Newark RFC for a 3.00pm kick off.

Squad – Dan Hyams, Kieran Wells (2 tries), Theo Collier (1 try), Ben Allen, Aaron Langan, Alistair Plant, Josh Flanagan, Phil Eggleshaw (1 try), Ben Taylor, George Billam (6 Conv.), Dan Flint (3 tries), Doug Billam, Jared Kelly, Alex Rimmington (1 try), Matt Molyneux.

Rep – Tom Gladwin (19 mins), Danny Green (43 mins), Jake Baldry (45 mins)

Back of The Match – George Billam

Forward of The Match – Josh Flanagan

Paviors Rugby Club play at Burntstump Hill, Arnold, NG5 8PQ and the club runs over twenty teams.

New players are always welcome – girls, boys, men & women, there is a team for all.

PLANNING: New homes planned for Church Lane, Linby.

A planning application has been received by Gedling Borough Council from CBP Architects Ltd of Nottingham acting as agent on behalf of Mr Andrew Clarke for the proposed erection of four dwellings at 29 Church Lane, Linby, Nottinghamshire NG15 8AB.

The application describes the proposed works as ‘Demolishment of all buildings on site (a pair of semi detached dwelling house and two garages), To remove existing trees, Erection of 4 dwellings with associated single garages.’

A design and access statement prepared by CBP Architects Ltd. in support of the planning application for the residential development states that the site is located opposite Linby Playing Field in the centre of Linby Village, on a corner plot with Church Lane on the north west and Hayden Lane to the east of the site, with St Michael’s Church to the west opposite the sites entrance.

The four proposed properties are to be market housing consisting of:

Two five bedroom properties, both with three bathrooms and three parking spaces

Two four bedroom properties, both with three bathrooms and three parking spaces

According to submitted planning documents the new development will provide four detached houses with associated garages and private driveways. Each property will have a minimum of three no. car parking spaces (including Garage space) to ensure the road is not dominated by parked vehicles.

The proposed point of accesses into the site are from Church Lane, the same side where the previously entrance was located, except for plot 4 that will use the existing entrance off Hayden Street.

It is also proposed that the proposed dwellings are to bring the building line forward and more in line with the adjacent properties, following the building line along Church Lane, reflecting the organic character of the surrounding village.

The development proposes trees to be planted to the rear of the gardens, replacing the existing trees that are to be removed. The proposed dwellings face onto Church Lane with rear gardens backing onto the existing open field.

Burton Joyce dad gets on his bike to raise funds for 4G football pitch in Calverton

Tim Richardson, a busy football dad from Burton Joyce who runs a new under 10’s football team for Calverton Miners has announced plans to cycle a 1000km to support the club.

The football mad dad said “I’m going to ride 1000km in 30 Days over the month of November and my target was £1000, I’ve currently smashed this and reached over £3,000. This is all whilst trying to Juggle full time work, 3 Children, Football Training and Matches of my own.

“We’re currently trying to gather funds for our 4G State of the art pitch which is due to be started next season, we can’t do this without the funds though, as it costs thousands of pounds.

PHOTO: Tim Richardson

“Grassroots football gets over looked but this is where it all starts for our children with some of them going on to be professional footballers, this can’t happen if clubs and teams fold.”

Tim’s Team of budding football stars play at Calverton Minors welfare club on a Saturday and this is their first season as a team playing together.

Some of the children never played within a team before and Tim proudly told Gedling Eye “We’re currently smashing the league with winning our first 3 games.”

Tim told us that the next seven weeks will be tough as he has to train his body and mindset to get to where he needs to be and freely admits that he is not the fittest of people and this is a big challenge for him.

The Burton Joyce man has a busy life outside of his full time job with community football activities five days per week in both Gedling villages including every weekend during the football season.

Tuesday is Calverton Training day (Led by Tim and an Assistant Coach), Wednesday – Tim takes his other son to Calverton Training (led my someone else), Friday is Burton Joyce Football Training (where he is an assistant coach), Saturday brings Calverton Matches and on Sunday its Burton Joyce Matches.

Tim said “As you can see, I have a busy lifestyle when it comes to helping the children get better at football, get fitter and just enjoy the game, and I put my all into it, so to be doing this bike ride (Approx 35km per night) too, is going to be a challenge in itself.”

Tim will be be doing the challenge on a road bike around Nottinghamshire.

Tim has set up a Just Giving page for his supporters and he has already raised over £2000 on that platform alone Crowdfunding to Help Pay Towards a 4G Pitch on JustGiving

Donated benches unveiled by charity at the heart of the Newstead Village community.

Three new benches have been donated to The Newstead Centre by Jigsaw Homes working with Jewsons Partnership Solutions.

Gedling Eye spoke with Sandra Johnson, Centre manager at The Newstead Centre about the donation who said: “It came about from a discussion with Jigsaw Homes, showing them around the Newstead Centre one day we were able to discuss areas of support they would look into to see if they could help support us as we are a Charity.

“One of those areas was the Courtyard area outside our Courtyard cafe on-site that had very old and falling apart outside furniture.

Pictured: The new benches at The Newstead centre (PHOTO: Facebook)

“As a result Jigsaw Homes very kindly working with Jewsons Partnership Solutions donated the Newstead Centre some brand new picnic table and benches to transform the Courtyard area to make it a more welcoming area for visitors and the community to the Newstead Centre.”

Sandra added “We are so grateful for all their support and help for the Newstead Centre as it helps us offer better services to be able to support the community and visitors to the Centre.”

The centre offerings include a community food pantry, arts and crafts workshops, benefits sessions, a cafe (5-star hygiene rating, breast friendly accredited & dog friendly) and excellent facilities for anyone looking for a decent sized hall for an event.

The centre that sits at the heart of the Newstead Village community can be found at Tilford Road Newstead Village Nottinghamshire NG15 0BS and is also located only three minutes from the main Midland mainline train network with excellent transport links between Nottingham & Mansfield.

Letters: Gedling Country Park becoming ‘pointless’

Our readers from across the borough give their weekly take on the biggest issues impacting Gedling and beyond.

Some letters refer to past correspondence which can be found by clicking here. Join the debate by emailing letters@gedlingeye.co.uk and put ‘Letters’ in the subject line.

What will be left of country park?

Having a Gedling Country Park is pointless.

Each week you see more planning proposals being submitted that want to take up more of its green space so it seems like its slowly being eroded. They should have just built houses on the old pit land in the first place rather than waste taxpayer money on a park that seems like a temporary arrangement.

Since it was created housing estates have cropped up, a road has been slapped through it and now I hear there could even be a supermarket.

‘Country Park’? Gedling Green more like.

Pub surge plan will damage industry further

I can’t believe Stonegate plan to charge more in their pubs for a pint during busy times.

The industry is suffering as it is with many pubs closing and blaming this on lack of custom. Do they really think charging more is the answer? They need to be looking at ways of reducing the price of a pint if they want people to come through the doors.

We have lost of good pubs and clubs in the borough recently, with the Crossing Club in Carlton the latest to go. I just hope those remaining don’t become inspired by this daft plan as it will only lead to closures and more Lidl supermarkets taking their place.

J Kane,
Carlton

Calverton ‘forgotten’ by council

All I ever read in Gedling Eye is about money being spent in Arnold. This week it was new toilets. They’ve just had an AMP and still it needs more.

Spare a thought for Calverton. Nothing has been spent here but we have to give up our land and put pressure on our schools, doctors and leisure centre with new housing that I am sure helps pay to improve Arnold.

What about us? Why are we being forgotten?

Concerns raised over plans to turn Arnold care home into 30-bed HMO

Concerns raised over plans to turn Arnold care home into 30-bed HMO

Concerns have been raised over ‘anti-social behaviour’ and ‘noise’ after it was revealed a former Arnold care home could now be turned into a 30-bedroomed HMO.

Proposals to change the use of Ernehale Lodge Nursing Home, Furlong Street, Arnold to a 30-bedroom house in multiple occupation have been submitted to Gedling Borough Council.

The application has been submitted by Peter Johnson Associates of Nottingham acting as agents on behalf of Arnold Point Limited.

The design and access statement completed by Peter Johnson Associates submitted to accompany a full planning application advises that Ernehale Lodge is a purpose built care home facility registered with CQC for 30 residents with nursing care requirements. They are  housed in 10 single bedrooms and 10 twin rooms.

The current proposal is for a 30 bed-HMO. The site area is 1178m2.

Pictured: Before and after front elevation proposals (Courtesy of Gedling Borough Council planning)

Planning documents advise that there is existing on-site car parking to the rear of the building (8 no. spaces) however there are no plans for additional parking at the property.

The design and access statement suggests that the future users are not expected to be car owners or users and thus secure cycle storage is provided with the proximity to the town centre and bus routes offering increased options for travel.

The planning application proposes 15 cycle spaces would be created.

Planning documents also state that pre-application advice has been sought from Gedling Borough Council for a change of use from care home (Class C2) to 30 bedroom house in multiple occupation (Sui Generis).

The conclusions of the pre-application advice are stated in the planning documentation as being ‘generally positive’ and that concerns relating to waste, noise and anti-social behaviour will be addressed by firm management of the project.’

Planning documents also advise that changes to the existing building are limited principally to internal re-arrangements.

External changes include the removal of the canopy and blocking up of the access at the existing entrance and a door is proposed to be inserted to the South elevation to provide a new entrance to the development.

Shelves start to empty as closure looms for Wilko store in Carlton

These pictures show the sight greeting shoppers at Wilkos in Carlton as shelves begin to empty with the high street retailer now preparing for closure.

Stock is still available but bare shelves and “Everything Must Go” posters are visible at the back of the store on Carlton Square.

Posters on the front of the store state it will now close in seven days (Thursday, September 21).

It follows the collapse of the high street chain which fell into administration in August.

Administrators PwC have confirmed the closure of the firm’s remaining 400 stores and the loss of 9,100 staff after attempts to save the company came to an end.

Homeware shop the Range has confirmed it will buy Wilko’s brand, website and intellectual property.

The Range’s deal means the Wilko name will not disappear from high streets for good, with the retailer confirming that it will sell Wilko products “in-store”.

B&M and Poundland have also bought a number of stores.

More than 10,000 Wilko workers are set to lose their jobs by next month as a result of the chain’s collapse.
