Originally from Siegen in central Germany Martina came to Spain with her husband Rolf in 1998, starting their own small business. As the company became established, Martina was able to become more involved in local politics, having met with the current mayor, Monserrate Guillen, in 1993, when he was campaigning against the landfill in Torremendo.

In the 2007 Municipal Elections Martina was listed as the Los Verdes number 5 but as the Party gained just 3 seats she remained on the political fringe working for the party in her spare time, and purely on a voluntary basis. But the political canvas changed four years later, when the ruling Partido Popular were outvoted and Martina, having been elevated to number 3 on the list of Los Verdes candidates, was elected into office as a within the Orihuela City Council.

Through a somewhat jagged term in office, the political complications of a tri-party government came to a head recently, which saw the government team have their roles reassigned, Martina now becoming the councillor for the Orihuela Costa, beaches and international residents, some would say the ideal roles for an environmentally aware German, whilst also maintaining management of mobility.

Now, in her first week in this new role, and just before her first press conference as the coastal councillor, Martina was showing officers from the Guardia Civil around the town hall, explaining where their new offices would be moving too, a long promised move, but one which is only now actually starting. This will allow the Guardia Officers to work closer with the Local Police, and allow better coverage and times for both functions. That process of moving should start immediately.

The office of International Residents has also moved already and is now combined with that of the tourist information centre, meaning that there is better staffing coverage for both of these functions, which do have a cross over in terms of providing both help and information to international residents.

Martina also explained that she is now looking to start the recruitment process for an administrative assistant in this location, as the previous person in the role was assigned to the former councillor, Pedro Mancebo, so her ability to remain was curtailed upon his leaving. Martina hopes to be

Monday, 11th February, 2013 able to recruit a person with no political of personal ties to anybody in office, thus keeping an independent balance, but, more importantly, allowing that person to continue in the role of helping the residents irrespective of the councillor assigned.

The office that deals with the registration on the Padrón will then move into the former office of international residents, and have a numerated ticket queuing system, allowing privacy to those registering and an ease of the whole use of the facility.

Martina also explained that the office of the National Police, where international residents register for administrative features such as the NIE will be open within a matter of days, following an agreement that the town hall will provide the clerical assistance required.

As a Los Verdes councillor, when faced with the question of how that crosses over to the management of the beaches, Martina said, “I am hoping we can be more green, with my close relationship with the advisors and environmental councillors”, which helps to simplify the environmental impact.

Martina also stated that she now has the first share of the money raised from the sale of a plot of land on the coast, which is now available to be spent on investment. However, the possible projects will all have to be looked into again, as, “there is no need to spend money on a library for example, if we don´t actually need a library”, then detailing how there are already a number of municipal buildings which could be used for a lot of the functions that may be required.

With her work cut out to catch up, including tendering for such provision of services as the beach bars and life saving teams, both of which should already have been carried out, she explains, the contract for works will be put to tender without bias.

With all of the changes that have occurred in the municipality, and nobody knowing what the future may bring, there is still no doubt in Martina´s mind that she will do everything that she can to serve. Matina said that, “I will try to do as much as possible”, and when asked if a minority government can cope with the workload, she simply replied, “I hope so”, emphasising that within the government team that now exists, “we are all willing”.

MARKS & SPENCER BACK IN SPAIN Popular British high street store Marks & Spencer is to return to Spain on February 14, twelve years after stopping their retail activities in the country, albeit in virtual form on their website.

The on-line store is being launched in Germany, Belgium and Spain, where you can find over 15,000 products available through their portal at www.marksandspencer.es, including an option to change the language to English.

Madrid will be the centre of attention for the launch, featuring a traditional Routemaster bus, completely renovated to offer visitors an “experience of British style”.

Although M&S still allowed the continuation of their presence through a franchise in La Cañada shopping centre in Marbella, Málaga, managed by York Limited, it was in 2001 that the nine stores were closed

in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Bilbao and Seville, although the department store chain in the Canaries remained operational.

The expansion of their on-line operation seeks to compliment

their 390 stores in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, with Marks & Spencer offering international delivery services to over 80 countries, from a website that attracts over 3.4 million weekly users.

MORRIS DANCING WITH THE U3A Well in reality there wasn’t a gentleman called Morris dancing in the Terri Horvath Morris Group, who came and entertained us with a display of Morris Dancing at the monthly meeting held on Monday 28th January. Their bright costumes and the wonderful toe-tapping music that accompanied the dancing was well received by the members who attended the meeting, and the ‘Squire’ explained the history and meaning of the dances which gave us all a much better understanding of the evolution of Morris Dancing in the UK and what the different steps involve.

The entertainment followed on from a talk given by Antonio Sanchez from Alimentos Solidarios, the organisation supported by Torrevieja U3A members who bring donations of foodstuffs each month to be handed over to AS to help out needy families in the Torrevieja area. The daily management of the centre and the organisation of the food distribution is Antonio’s sole responsibility who, together

with a willing band of volunteers, work tirelessly to provide this sadly, much needed service.

Such has been the volume of our donations over the three months since we began the monthly collections, that Antonio has aked to come along and thank the U3A personally, and to explain how the centre is managed and the controls that are in place to ensure that the qualifying criteria are met by those arriving at the centre for support.

The next meeting of Torrevieja U3A is 25 February 2013 and this is the Association’s ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. Doors open at 10.00 a.m. and proceedings will start promptly at 11.00 a.m. Non-members are still welcome to come along but will not be able to vote on any propositions/proposals. If you would like any further information please visit our website:- www.torreviejau3a.org or contact the Secretary on 966 844 349.

POLITICAL SPRING CLEA NING

Apart from the potential major case of fraud affecting members of the Spanish government, following on from our recent article about the number of politicians charged with or investigated as part of criminal proceedings, January didn´t see any letting up of cases, with at least a dozen politicians being added to the list of those facing charges.

A case of the Russian Mafia operating in Lloret de Mar is one of the principle cases coming to light, with deputy mayor, Josep Valls (pictured), allegedly benefitting from an agreement with Russian businessman Andrei Petrov. The former Catalan mayor, Xavier Crespo, was also indicated as part of this case, involving around 56 million euro.

Another case uncovered in the first month of the year involved the president of the council of Orense, José Luis Baltar, called to testify as a defendant for allegedly contin-

ual offenses of trespass in recruitment.

In Galicia, the mayor of Santiago, Ángel Currás, accused of being part of Operation Pokémon, becoming the fourth Galician politician accused in this investigation on alleged irregularities in procurement, as well as other cases involving trespass and harassment.

In Tarragona, Councillor Antonio Rodriguez, who left office the same day, was arrested for an alleged crime of encouraging illegal immigration, as part of an investigation for allegedly processing permits and work contracts fraudulently in exchange for commissions from a business in Tarragona, taking advantage of his public office.

During the month of January, the courts have also continued with the processing of cases already underway and there have been several convictions against former politicians and holders of public office.

The mayor of Valverde, Agustín Padrón, was sentenced

to six years' disqualification and two in prison for embezzlement, after it was discovered that the City bought land for 182,000 euro that was only valued at 39,000.

The former mayor of Marbella, Julián Muñoz, and six other were sentenced to a year in prison for planning prevarication by granting licenses for construction of 126 houses. Muñoz also faces further charges for money laundering, along with his former partner and a popular Spanish singer, Isabel Pantoja, who, although unrelated, appeared performing in Torrevieja last year.

This is just a selection of some of the cases that have come to light already this year, as the government faces the chal-

lenges of running a struggling country, and local politicians face reductions in their numbers, it is doubtful that this is the end, as the world of politics opens up and the investigations reveal exactly what goes on behind the scenes of our public representatives.

2,500 M3 OF SEDIMENT REMOVED FROM SEGURA BASIN

Staff from La Confederación Hidrográfica del Segura (CHS) has completed the cleaning of the channel under Segura River as it passes through the town of Orihuela, during which procedure they removed 2,464 cubic yards of sediment.

The project, carried out in coordination with the City of Orihuela, centred along the 1050 meter stretch located between the Almoradí weir and the railway bridge, up to the sewage treatment plant.

In the area accumulated sediments deposited by the natural action of the river in recent years, has shown a "significant increase in deposits."

The sediments collected were distributed throughout various groves del Segura to serve as fertilizer to feed the local smallholdings, a practice traditionally held in Vega Baja del Segura which is "very beneficial" for the growth of plantlife.

This cleaning operation is a continuation of the first phasewhich first got underway last summer, which started at the top of the river channel - from the entrance to the town center all the way along to the canal dam.

The CHS expect that they will soon be able to undertake the final phase of which must first be coordinated with the farmers of the Vega Baja in order to respect their irrigation schedule.

FISHING BOAT SINKS OFF LA MANGA COAST

The eleven crew members of the fishing boat ‘Costero II’, which sunk off the coast of La Manga, have all arrived safe and well at the Port of Cartagena, having explained how a sudden sea surge hit their boat and caused a breach in the hull, resulting in the sinking of the trawler.

The incident occurred at around 7:30 on Wednesday morning, when the crew immediately switch on pumps to drain the excess water. However, all attempts were seemingly failing, and the ship began to sink some 28 miles south-east of Cabo de Palos.

The crew decided their efforts were frugal and called for assistance around 30 minutes after the impact, resulting in the Guardia Civil being summoned to assist in their rescue.

The crew had abandoned ship in the short time before they were rescued by a helicopter and fast response ship of the maritime division of the Guardia Civil, and were in two small lifeboats when their saviours arrived at the scene, assisted in the location of the site through the distress calls made by the wreck.

BENIDORM EXPECTS INCREASE IN BRITISH AND RUSSIAN TOURISTS IN 2013 Members of the Benidorm City Council held a joint press conference last week with tourism entrepreneurs at which they confirmed their forecast of an increase in the number of British and Russian tourists in 2013, despite the still uncertain behavior of the domestic market.

Chaired by the mayor, Agustín Navarro, members of the panel also included the Councilor for Tourism, Gema Amor, the President of the Hoteliers Association in Benidorm and the Costa Blanca (Hosbec), Toni Mayor, the President of the Business Federation of Benidorm (FeTB), Francisco Delgado, and the manager of the Benidorm Tourism Foundation, Yolanda Pickett.

Navarro said that after a number of discussions and meetings held in Fitur, the data gathered at the show "was very encouraging" adding that everything indicates that "2013 will be better than 2012."

The Councillor said that both Jet2 and TUI speak of an increase in the number of passengers they will be bringing into Benidorm through the summer and even into the next winter season.

Specifically, Jet2 Holidays said that advance reservations on its 63 weekly flights are up by 18% which advance interest on tour packages has increased by and 41%. In addition, TUI UK have reported they expect to grow "four percent" for the winter 2013/14.

The President of Hosbec said that the growth of Jet2holidays suggests that "the UK market" is going well "and is seems almost certain that the number of tourists will increase in relation to 2012.

As far as Russian tourists are concerned, the tour operator Natalie Tours expects to grow 30% in the number of tourists it will bring to Benidorm and to the Costa Blanca.

Toni Mayor, the President of the Hoteliers Association, also referred to the national market.

“It is far too early to declare victory on the 2013 season,” he said, “for although the indicators for the International markets are good, there is also a possibility that the National market will stall and even show a decline of at least 2 or 3 points, because, as a nation, we are still in crisis.”

‘Twitters from the Atlantic’ Barrie Mahoney was a teacher, head teacher and school inspector in the UK, as well as a reporter in Spain, before moving to the Canary Islands as a newspaper editor. He is still enjoying life in the sun as a writer and author.

Sky High Wi-F i Regular readers of ‘Twitters’ will know that I am not a great admirer of a certain low cost airline that operates in the Canary Islands. Although appearing to offer great value at first glance, by the time that the intending traveller has negotiated the complicated website, which appears intended to trick rather than reassure, paid extra for baggage, surcharges, worked out how to say “No” to the insurance offer as well as denying the “Special hand luggage that meets our specifications” offer. I find that I am already dreading the flight. Added to this, the undignified dash across the runway, a policy of not knowing whether I will be seated next to my partner or not, told that I cannot bring any duty free in addition to my hand luggage... I could go on.

The last time I flew with them I arrived at the airport for a threeweek trip, and I was told that I would have to pay an additional 40 euros, as my suitcase was one kilogramme overweight. I was already in a less than amused mood when I realised that because we had to stop at Madrid on our way to Gatwick, we would be charged the baggage fee twice for our suitcases. However, in fairness, to the cabin crew, I do find that once we are in the air, the flight is generally on time and trouble free. It is just the ground bit that is the problem. Needless to say, after our last experiences, we

7

decided never to travel with them again, unless there was no other choice.

Enter a new airline, Norwegian. I have to say that, so far, I am most impressed. Good value no-nonsense flight bookings, an approach of ‘what you see is what you get’, together with a good, clear website made all the difference when I booked our next flights to the UK. We also have numbered seats, as well as the offer of free Wi-Fi and phone calls on board. We shall see what happens on board and just as long as we don't have to provide our own fuel, I guess it will be a vast improvement on the last lot.

It is the offer of free Internet whilst 30,000 feet in the air that intrigues me, as well as the possibility of making free phone calls.

Without being too cynical about the offer, I seem to remember one stewardess being rather unpleasant when she realised that I had, by mistake, left Wi-Fi switched on for my iPad, as well as another passenger being warned that he would be ejected from the cabin if he didn't switch off his mobile. The reason given was that it would interfere with the plane’s circuitry and that we would drop from the sky, and where we would we be then? I didn't respond, as I assumed that she was being rhetorical. Apparently, use of a mobile phone is forbidden and cabin crew have the power to shoot anyone breaking the rules. Well, it seems that they have different rules in Norway, and I shall surf to my heart’s content and deal with all my emails on the flight back to the UK. After all, who can possibly be away from email and text messages for four hours? Unthinkable.

I also received another message from the Norwegian airline the other day reminding me to download their iPhone App so that I can make free calls on board. Now this offer rather alarmed me.

Flights are often noisy enough if you are unfortunate enough to be seated next to a group of badly behaved adults, let alone their chil-

dren, but can you imagine endless conversations of “Hello Mum, I’m on the plane! Yes, I said, I’m on the plane! Can you hear me?

I’m on the PLANE!” from 300 odd passengers? I fear that days of a quiet read, together with a nap on the plane after a drink and sandwich are fast disappearing.

COUNTERFEITED CASH CAUGHT IN PILAR Officers from the Guardia Civil have detained three men in Pilar de la Horadada on suspicion of crimes of counterfeiting and drug trafficking, after finding several bundles of counterfeit notes worth 410,000 euro and 300 grams of marijuana, in a car they were travelling in.

The arrest occurred during a routine patrol on a roundabout, when the vehicle was stopped with the intention of confirming the identity of the occupants.

However, officers noted the “great nervousness� of the men, and proceeded to search their vehicle.

During the search, the officers found two bags with 300 grams of marijuana, and a suitcase containing 12 stacks of counterfeit 500 euro notes, and another containing 50 euro notes, with a collective face value totalling 410,000 euro.

They also found several mobile phones and a fake weapon and so proceeded to arrest the men, all of Spanish nationality and between 21 and 43 years of age, on suspicion of crimes against public health for drug trafficking, and counterfeiting, for which they were sent before the courts of Elche.

ALICANTE BUSINESS CLUB

The Alicante Business Club, ABC club, was set up 2 years ago by a small group of likeminded business people in the Alicante region who spoke regularly on various types of networks, but had never met up.

Because of this we decided to set up ABC so that we could meet face to face our contacts, but not on a formal basis where you had to pay a lot of money, but on an informal one instead.

Also we did it so that we could help each other out in these difficult times, and some of the original members are no longer able to make the meetings because of the increase in business contacts via the group.

Everyone so far who has come to the meetings has got work from it or in the process of getting some.

Most of the members were at the time either looking for work or trying to get more work, so had no spare money to spend, SO we form the club where their was no membership fee or cost at all, just for the drinks you had.

It is on a very informal basis and casual dress, come as you are, and have a wide range of different professions there, from companies to sole traders and people looking at setting up a business. Everyone is equal within the group.

We meet the first of every month at 13.00 in Studz Bar in Benimar and our membership has been growing steadily from day one.

At the last meeting we had people who are re-opening a theme restaurant/bar and sell homemade products and other members who are usually there are from accountants, lawyers to people who make their own fudge, jewellery etc.

Are normal members that come to the meetings are myself, a TEFL teacher and sell rugby branded clothing, iCovert Solutions Ltd, Clive Gray Computers, Card Place, Norman Jermon of Blacktower, HeathyU, Performance Diesels, Bravo Productions, Coral Sales, Shinylamps, Aid2mobilty, Venture Fleet, Bumblebees, etc.

THE ORIHUELA POLITICAL STAGE IS SET – AGAIN!

The new two party coalition government of Orihuela met this morning to assign the roles left vacant by the third sector of the group, the CLr party, having left the government team.

The roles have now been spread amongst the remaining councilor, as well as two non-elected members of the bipartite based on the original agreements following the municipal elections for this term.

For ex-pats, the principle development is that former councilor for transport, Martina Scheurer, takes on the roles and responsibilities of the Orihuela Costa, Beaches and international residents.

The full government team of Orihuela is now formed by: For the Los Verdes green party, Monserrate Guillén retains his position of Mayor, and is now also responsible for safety, security, emergencies and vehicles. Anunciación Belchí is responsible for urban cleaning,

nature, the environment, agriculture and water. Martina Scheurer, as mentioned, takes over the role of responsible for the Orihuela Costa, beaches and international residents. Manuel Gallud is a new appointment looking after finance, trade, markets, industry, mobility and employment promotion.

From the PSOE, Antonia Moreno takes on infrastructure, planning and institutional relations. Emilio Zaplana has social welfare, gender, immigration, citizenship and districts. Antonio Zapata continues with

planning, heritage and housing. Rosa Martinez stays with education as well as taking on personnel, human resources and internal affairs, as well as coordination in procurement. Carolina Gracia looks after festivities, youth and protocol. The unelected member Ana Más deals with culture, tourism and communication.

One final councilor to mention, also from the PSOE, is Luis Galiano, the councilor for sports, health and consumer affairs. He had resigned from his position recently, citing “personal reasons”, but is continuing in the post for the time being, as it would be “unthinkable to leave” at this time, as there would be nobody left to take on the role.

Although this lays out the table for the immediate future, things may well change again, but for now, this provides the government with, “clear objectives and setting a direction and a roadmap to fulfill it”, according to Antonia Moreno in the joint press conference.

For his part, the Mayor, Monserrate Guillén, said, “We realize that we have a double challenge: work harder and better, and we can demonstrate that we know, and what we do”, whilst accepting that the minority government may now have a decisive voice, but still lacks a firm vote, as it would take nothing short of a miracle for such a small government team to gain the support of those who have been battling against them for so long.

FLIRTY FRIEND

Me and my friend have been best mates since I was 5, and used to talk about everything. We live just round the corner from each other and she’d pop round most nights and we’d go on double dates. She’s always been a big flirt, and lately she had a boob job. Since then I feel like she’s been flirty like mad with my husband. I know her and her partner are going through a rocky patch, and I’ve been there for her after every row they’ve had. But whenever she comes round now she’ll sit with my husband in the living room while I’m getting dinner ready in the kitchen, and even though I’ve got no evidence I’ve just got a really weird feeling something’s going on. I don’t want to ask her out right and risk upsetting her but I don’t want to be taken for a mug either.

Leanne Surely love, the simple answer is to have a word with your husband? We’ve already established that this mate of yours is an out and out flirt so its probably pointless talking to her anyway. Explain to the

I’m So Sorry!

When I was 13 I was real trouble at home.

In the heat of an argument I lashed out at my mum and really hurt her so I was put into care. That was 10 years ago. Since then I’ve changed a lot and I want to mend my relationship with my mum. She doesn’t want to know me though and it really upsets me.

MUM’S THE WORD

old man that you’re not comfortable with things as they and see how he reacts. If he has a shred of decency and any respect for you at all, he will make damn sure that your mind is put at ease. The alternative is to say nothing and let this thing eat away at you until you cant take anymore. The bottled up jealousy and frustration could easily turn you into a very angry and hateful woman. Strike whilst the iron is hot and tell your husband that things need to change. If he has a problem with that, ask him how he would feel if the tables were turned? Would he be calm and understanding if you were letting one if his mates flirt like the clappers with you? You owe it to all concerned to have the conversation and put this thing to bed once and for all. Good luck with it Leanne! give when one of their children hits them. In this case, you caused serious harm and the consequences of that were pretty dire. People can and do change, especially teenagers. Its good to see that you're one of those people. Whilst your mum is shunning your attempts to speak to her, you'll probably find that if you send her a letter she will, at the very least, read it. Lay down your thoughts and feelings on paper, be as honest as you can and then give your mum a little more time to respond. It could be that you've lost her forever but something deep down inside me tells me that, as a parent, she must still love you. All you can do is try isn't it? I hope its pans out for you.

My mum died a few months ago and the other day I was clearing out her house when I found one of her old diaries. I was flicking through it and I saw some stuff which I wish I hadn’t. Basically, from what Mum had written I think she had an affair after I was born and consequently my younger sister has a different dad to me.

Me and my sister have always looked really different but I put it down to one of us looking like dad, and one like mum. We’ve got three older brothers too and they all look quite different so I’d never been suspicious.

But now, I don’t know whether to come clean and tell my sister or keep quiet. I feel angry with Mum too. How could she keep such a huge secret from us and Dad all those years?

Geraldine The whole issue hinges on just how certain you are about the facts Geraldine. If you’re absolutely convinced that your sister could have a different father then my view is that she has a right to know. At the end of the day, conclusive proof either way can be obtained through DNA testing. The truth is the only thing that matters here isn’t it? Allowing your sister to carry on living a lie would be wrong and you owe it to her to be as upfront as possible about things.

The seeds of doubt have already been planted in your mind so I really don’t think you have a choice here.

TRULY AN INSPIRATION ON SUNDAY My name is Philip Croft. Back in the late 70s and 80s for about 10-12 years myself and a couple of friends ran a mobile disco and happily entertained folks at weddings, birthdays and the odd office Christmas party. It was never much like Saturday Night Fever but it was fun!

Then in 1990 I had what might be called something of a “Damascus Road” experience and joined a fairly new church in Sheffield called Rother Valley Church. It was all very different from the Church of England school that I’d attended as a child. It was lively, informal and something most people don’t expect from church – enjoyable! Over the years since then I’ve been blessed to lead Alpha courses, speak in a number of churches, be a church trustee and a thousand other things besides.

About 12 years ago I joined Hospital Broadcasting Sheffield and for over seven years looked after the stations religious broadcasting and from there went on to present shows on Sheffield Live and Grapevine FM – a station that broadcasts every August bank holiday weekend to the 10-12,000 people that attend the Grapevine Celebration in Lincoln.

Myself and my wife, Audrey, regularly holiday in Torrevieja and about 18 months ago I got a call out of the blue about a programme called “Sweet Sounds on Sunday” which had been faithfully presented on Exite Radio over many years by George Moore. Sadly for personal reasons George had to stand down and I was invited to take over. The programme was renamed, “The Sunday Inspiration”

and after being moved around in the timetable and undergoing some changes is now firmly established in the 8:00 - 10:00 slot every Sunday morning. The show is sponsored by the International Christian Assembly in Torrevieja and just like the worship at the church the music is modern and lively. The show also includes plenty of chat and features too provided by, among others, Good News Broadcasting in the UK and the International Christian Assembly themselves.

If you want to be inspired and uplifted on a Sunday morning why not join me, Philip Croft, on Exite Radio 89.2 & 93.1 FM.

NEW NISSAN SET FOR PRODUCTION IN BARCELONA Despite all the doom and gloom of the falling stock market following the accusations levied against Rajoy and his ruling party earlier in the week there is at last some good news for the Spanish economy with the announcement on Monday that the Japanese Car manufacturer Nissan will build a new passenger car model at its plant in Barcelona from 2015.

“Industrial policy is the most important thing we have on the table and we will dedicate all our efforts to it,” Catalan premier Artur Mas said at a joint press conference held with Nissan’s director of industrial operations in Spain The announcement came after 6 months of negotiations between Nissan’s management and labour unions at the end of which, just six days ago, both parties had signed a competitiveness plan, which includes a 20-percent cut in wages for all new

employees. The plan also guarantees the rights of the current workforce in the event of future layoffs.

Over 1,000 direct and 3,000 indirect jobs will be created by the new model which will also entail the installation of a new production line in the plant at a cost of 130 million euros. Output of the new compact model, named ‘Invitation’ will be 80,000 units a year. It will have five doors and it aims to compete with Volkswagen’s Golf model and Ford’s Focus.

LÍNEA DIRECTA BECOMES THE FIRST INSURER TO SELL ITS PRODUCTS VIA MOBILE TELEPHONE Línea Directa has launched its new website for mobiles, which makes it the first insurance company to distribute its products via smartphones.

The new site, which uses xhtml technology, is compatible with the iOS, Android and Blackberry operating systems and is capable of offering customers a price in under 3 minutes while asking them no more than ten questions. In addition, unlike other websites, which use “masks” in their mobile versions, Línea Directa’s new quoting system is 100% adapted to smartphone technology.

The website will initially be available for offering car insurance quotes and will then be extended to cover the company’s motorbike and home insurance sectors. Linea Directa’s new page for smartphones also includes information on the insurer’s main products and services and offers a click-to-call service which allows users to send a request for the company to call them if they have any questions or if they wish to purchase the policy with the help of an operator.

With this new tool, the insurer hopes to record over 150,000 quotes per year and strengthen its position as the leader in Internet and mobile applications. The new quoting system has been designed taking into account aspects such as Internet surfing habits, easy operability, simplicity and user-friendliness for the customer.

Línea Directa’s commitment to mobile technology is part of the

g r o w i n g importance of I n t e r n e t searches on smartphones, due to the fact that in 2015 over half of all organic searches on the Internet will be carried out using these devices.

WHO AND WHAT IS PILATES AND WHY IS IT GOOD FOR POSTURE?

BY LISA JONES Posture is “the science of understanding the optimum relationship of the body to gravity in order to create good posture and efficient movement patterns”.

What? In other words the way we hold ourselves in whatever we are doing is our posture and when we move well we use less energy, are less prone to injury, our internal organs can function more efficiently, you feel better and look better too!

army but instead he packed his bags and took a boat to New York City where he met Clara, a nurse, who would become his wife. He went on to establish his studio in New York and Clara worked with him as he evolved the Pilates method of exercise, invented the Pilates exercise equipment, and of course, trained students. By the early 1960s, Joe and Clara could count among their clients many New York dancers but it was becoming popular outside of New York as well.

Pilates believed that the "modern" life-style, bad posture, and inefficient breathing lay at the roots of poor health. His series of exercises, principles, training-techniques and equipment were all designed to teach his methods properly.

Principles: breathing – concentration – control – centering – precision – balanced muscle development – rhythm/flow – whole body movement and relaxation.

Improving posture and the way we move has a lot to do with how aware we are of our bodies; knowing when we move out of alignment and this can be hard unless you can see yourself. Joining a class is a great way to have a trained instructor watch you and help you to learn and understand how to improve.

Pilates was a man, so don't be fooled into thinking that Pilates is an easy workout. Joseph was born in Germany in 1880 and as a child he suffered from a number of physical problems including asthma, rickets and rheumatic fever. He dedicated his entire life to improving his physical strength, studying body building, yoga, "kung fu", gymnastics, boxing, circus performance and diving.

By the age of 14, he was fit enough to pose for anatomical charts.

During WWI he went to an internment camp in the UK where he taught wrestling and self-defense and it was here that he began refining and teaching his system of mat exercises. He was transferred to another camp and he began to intensively develop his concept of an integrated, comprehensive system of physical exercise. He studied yoga, Zen Buddhism, Eastern practices and the movements of animals and trained his fellow inmates in fitness and exercises. It is told that these inmates survived the 1918 flu pandemic due to their good physical shape. After WWI he briefly returned to Germany where his reputation as a physical trainer/healer preceded him. He was asked to train the German

It has been in the last 20 years that Pilates has become more and more mainstream as a method of exercise to build a strong core foundation, rehabilitate after injury and improve overall awareness of the body and health and good posture.

Lisa Jones is a fully certified Pilates trainer. Her classes are listed at www.fcubedfitness.com or contact her on 602 608 080 for more details.

TORREVIEJA HOSPITAL TREATS 608 PATIENTS AT HOME The Home Care Unit (UHD) of the Department of Health in Torrevieja last year made more than seven thousand home visits serving a total of 608 patients.

The Unit is one of the resources of the Plan for the

Improvement of home care in Valencia and its operation has allowed patients suffering from a variety of diseases to dispense with the need of visiting hospital with care being provided in their own home.

According to the UHD it helps increase the quality of

life for patients, many of whom either suffer from chronic diseases those involved in a complicated postoperative process.

In addition to home care, the unit has a telephone service with which it monitors many patients. At the end of last year it had been used for 2751 consultations.

TAXI DRIVERS CLEARED TO PICK UP AT EL ALTET As previously reported in The Leader, taxi drivers operating at Alicante El Altet airport have been expressing concern over other drivers collecting passengers from the airport, which is governed by the licensing of the Elche municipality.

Principally, there were two major problems, the first being licensed drivers who are not certified within the municipality, but otherwise ARE legally allowed to operate as taxis, and secondly, the so called “pirate” taxis, drivers who do not hold a license to operate, lack the requirements of safety and security for their vehicle, and don´t usually have any kind of insurance to carry passengers.

Although rejecting the protests as unacceptable, a sub delegation of the government have met with taxi drivers and agreed an action plan which will go some way to resolving the issues presented.

Firstly, permission has now been granted for licensed taxis from outside the municipality to collect from the airport. However, this must be pre-booked and the driver must have a certified form stating the origin and destination of the passengers being collected. In other words, an official taxi licensed in Torrevieja, for example, can now collect a passenger from the airport and deliver them to the town of license origin, an option previously outlawed.

Taxi drivers have to download a form from an official website, complete the details and return the completed application to the Generalitat, where it will be processed and returned, usually within 24 hours. The driver would then have the completed and certified form at the time of collection from the airport.

The second element was that of “pirate” taxi operators, for which a resolution may also be in coming. As part of the same elements for official taxi drivers, the policing of this would need extra patrols dedicated to monitoring that the correct documentation and passengers are carried by the cars. The sub delegation also suggested extended this patrol to focus on private car owners who operate as illegal taxis.

The taxi assn pointed out that they have huge expense to operate as a taxi, and it is unfair when private car owners take work from them, and that any trip that involves a passenger giving the driver money or goods would constitute operating as a taxi and is therefore illegal.

LET RURAL IRISH DRINK AND DRIVE It was reported earlier this week that a second Irish county is considering a controversial proposal that would make it easier for people living in rural outposts to drink and drive.

Galway council says that it is looking at introducing exemptions for residents who reside in rural areas so they can drink more and still drive home from the pub. It follows a proposal passed by councillors in Kerry that will let some drivers have “two or three drinks.”

Galway councillor Michael Fahy said “We don’t want to see people drunk, we’re only talking about up to three pints.This would have to be monitored, maybe by the publican or through some sort of stamped card system.”

The idea was proposed by publican Danny Healey-Rae, who claimed it would help older people who are isolated at home to cope with depression. It has provoked criticism from across Ireland, where around a third of car-crash deaths are alcohol-related.

PARK YOUR CAR SIR? JUST FOLLOW THE SIGN Seven Torrevieja car parks, Vista Alegre, Marina Salinas, El Arco, La Plasa, El Puerto, The International Marina and Miguel Hernandez, have all signed an agreement to provide signing in the Urban Commercial Areas, which indicates to drivers the locations of their nearly 2,000 parking spaces.

The agreement was carried out by the Department of Commerce (AFIC Agency) and the Department of Hospitality and Innovation, through its Innovation Centre for Information Technology and Communications (CITIC).

The Councillor for Commerce and Catering, Agustina Esteve, said that the new Department of Tourism Torrevieja website, which can be found at www.turismodetorrevieja.com, has a section showing ‘real time’ availability of all parking spaces. He said that it is a measure that has been sought for many years by restaurateurs and merchants in the city and that it will ensure easier access to the town by visitors and provide them with a more comfortable stay.

It will also help to support trade and catering, reduce traffic, improve the environment and, ultimately, contribute to the welfare of tourists in Torrevieja by modernizing the infrastructure and the services to its citizens.

The displays are extremely easy to understand and in total there are 74 such signs located on all main roads entering into the

town. They provide ‘real time’ information of available parking spaces in public car parks through two digital panels located at strategic points: Calle Ramon Street corner Maria Parodi Gallud and the crossing with Ramon San Policarpo Gallud.

As well as on the tourism website such real-time information can also be found at www.parkingtorrevieja.com and wwww.aparcamientoentorrevieja.com The results is easy to find parking spaces at the most convenient car parks in close proximity to shopping, entertainment and so on.

Euro Falls Most Since July as Draghi Warns of Slowing Inflation Market Commentary 7th Feb The euro fell the most since July against the dollar after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the recent strength of the currency creates a concern that inflation will slow.

The 17-nation euro declined versus all but two of 16 major counterparts as Draghi said after a policy meeting in Frankfurt today that the risk to the region’s growth remains on the “downside.” Draghi “explicitly mentioned foreign-exchange as a risk.

That in itself was a big deal and wasn’t expected by most market participants.” The euro dropped 0.9 percent to $1.3397 at 2:18 p.m. in New York after declining as much as 1.1 percent, the most since July 5. The central bank kept its benchmark rate at a record-low 0.75 percent today.

There are downside risks to inflation “stemming from weaker economic activity and, more recently, the appreciation of the euro exchange rate,” according to a statement of opening remarks from Draghi placed on the ECB’s website. What many market analysts had not expected today was for the ECB to actually tie directly the higher or stronger euro to the inflation outlook in the euro zone. Analysts think that it does increase the odds of a rate cut. Many don’t think it’s going to happen in March, but possibly that March will be key in terms of assessing the situation. Draghi said the euro’s exchange rate is in line with its longterm average, though officials will monitor it in case a “sustained” appreciation alters the ECB’s assessment of risks to price stability.

“The exchange rate is not a policy target, but it is important for growth and price stability,” Draghi said. “We want to see if the appreciation is sustained, and if it alters our assessment of the risks to price stability.”

The comments pushed the Euro down more than a cent against the dollar. While latest data show the 17-nation euro economy is starting to stabilize after the sovereign debt crisis drove it into recession last year, the euro’s gains could stymie a recovery before it has begun by curbing exports and pushing inflation too low. Draghi noted that the ECB

will publish new economic projections next month and stressed that officials will “maintain our accommodative monetary stance.” The ECB, which aims to keep inflation just below 2 percent, currently forecasts the rate of annual consumer-price gains will drop to 1.4 percent next year from 1.6 percent this year. A stronger euro damps prices on imported goods. Draghi said economic weakness will prevail only “in the early part” of this year and “later in 2013, economic activity should gradually recover, supported by our accommodative policy stance.”

Still, risks to the economic outlook remain on the downside, he said.

The pound strengthened for a second day after future Bank of England Governor Mark Carney damped speculation he would expand stimulus.

The pound rose for a second day versus the euro and the dollar after Carney, the Bank of Canada governor who succeeds Bank of England Governor Mervyn King in July, told lawmakers in London that current monetary policy may be enough to help the economy. The UK central bank left its benchmark interest rate at a record-low 0.5 percent and its asset-purchase target unchanged at 375 billion pounds ($589 billion) at a policy meeting today.

The pound advanced versus the dollar after the future Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said the U.K.’s monetary policy may be enough to help the economy, damping speculation that he would expand stimulus. The pound rose 0.2 percent to $1.5690 at 4:18 p.m.

London time after dropping to $1.5631 two days ago, the lowest since Aug. 10. It gained 1.1 percent to 85.38 pence per euro after reaching 85.18 pence, the strongest level since Jan. 28. “It is entirely possible - I hedge because I’m not expert enough on the current situation in the U.K. -- in fact probable, that the current stance of policy is consistent with the economy achieving escape velocity,” Carney said today. His comments and his first public appearance in the U.K. related to his new role, come less than two weeks after he said central banks aren’t “maxed out” on what they can do to drive their economies.

LEADER IBERIA AIRLINE STRIKES CONFIRMED ADVERTISING HOTLINE

Following extensive discussions, the six unions representing flight attendants and ground workers from Spanish airline Iberia have confirmed three weeks of strike action between now and the end of March.

The industrial action will take place from Monday to Friday between the 18th and 22nd of February, the 4th to the 8th of March and finally between the 18th and the 22nd of March. There will be a minimal service operated however, in line with the legal requirements set out by the government.

The action is in protest over the airline´s plan to restructure their operations so as to make the business profitable, after losing in the region of 300 million euro last year.

Despite the talks continuing for many months, unions and management have failed to make any progress in meeting each other´s demands so far.

NINE MILLION RECEIVING STATE PENSIONS IN SPAIN Over nine million people are now receiving state pensions of one form or another in Spain, a figure surpassed for the very first time in December 2012, and largely as a result of the country’s ageing population.

At a time when the government is finding it difficult to balance it’s budget this puts a further burden on it’s financial situation.

According to figures released by the Ministry of Labour, the number of people now receiving a state pension has increased by 1.5 percent from a year earlier to 9,008,348. The biggest increase, of 7.3 percent, was for those entitled to an orphan’s pension while the biggest financial impact came from a 2% rise in those receiving a retirement pension.

As a result of the increase in benefit payments combined with a drop in the number of contributors the Social Security system posted its biggest deficit on record last year of 11.8 billion euros, around one percent of GDP. Unemployment hit 26 percent at the end of 2012, while the number of people contributing to the social security system declined by 4.6 percent to 16.3 million.As a result, for the first time ever, there are fewer than two people paying into the Social Security system for every person receiving a pension.

LONDON ARCHITECURE STUDENTS REINVENT TERRA MITICA Benidorm Town Hall has said that a group of 15 students from the School of Architecture in London visited Terra Mitica theme park in Benidorm last week, one of the most popular high density tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, following which they have concluded a study "rethinking the future" of the site and offering ideas for "reinventing "the complex in order to complement the existing tourist facilities in the region.

The students, accompanied by a lecturer and the architect Naiara Vegara, have been focused on the possibilities of the park for the last six month.

"We saw great potential at Terra Mitica, a highimpact environment," said the lecturer, who added that before choosing the Alicante town the school ruled out destinations like Singapore.

Agustin Navarro, the Mayor of Benidorm, expressed his appreciation to the pupils and Vegara for choosing the municipality in which to direct their study. "We are proud that such a pres-

tigious university has chosen Terra Mitica for his work. It is yet another good thing for the region, because everything is going well, both at the park and with tourism in general, all of which will continue to benefit the city,” the mayor said.

The Councillor for Tourism, Gema Amor, stressed the "importance" of the project, and defined the study as "a laboratory of ideas that will help develop the great potential that continues to exist within the area, in helping it to adapt to new needs, and increase business, much of which will be achieved thanks to the findings of these students."

Vegara explained that the School of Architecture is a private university located in the "heart" of London. It is placed at the very top of the rankings of schools for architecture in Europe, and one of the top two worldwide. Students studying at the institution comprise of 60 different nationalities, so that, according to the professor, "it creates a very rich cultural environment", as well as a wide variety of teaching methodology based on custom and experiment.

EL RASO GOLF SOCIETY ........ BY ROBIN RICHARDS On Friday the 1st February El Raso Golf Society played it’s monthly stableford competition at Alicante Golf Club. Despite a few detours on the way there, 24 members and 5 guests eventually made it to the course. We were blessed with another warm and sunny day. However, the increasing wind and fast greens made for some challenging golf. This resulted in relatively low scoring and no-one making the green with their tee shot on the long par3 15th hole. The best guest was Willie Buchanan with a score of 31 points plus he also had the nearest to the pin on hole 3. Other nearest the pins were Steve Craven hole 6, Dave Smith hole 8, Terry Sharley hole 12 and Roy Lowe hole 17. The best front nine holes was won by Jim Weston with 16 points, and the best back nine went to Gloria Manning with a score of 14 on count back. Third place overall went to Stan Low with 28 points on count back and second place went to John Holland with a score of 30. The overall winner with a score of 31 points was John Fairhurst.

Despite a little reluctance to come forward at first, the Garden Gnome was duly presented to Neil Metcalfe. No doubt he was a just a little bashful although he did look wee bit grumpy too. As always we returned to our spiritual home and clubhouse aka Claptons Bar, where we again enjoyed a very welcome post match meal. This month’s winner’s photograph also shows the splendid Claptons Bar Union Jack. Hopefully it will soon be making a reappearance on England’s forthcoming cricket tour of New Zealand, so keep your eyes peeled. Our next event will be on St David’s Day the 1st March at La Marquesa Golf Club, and daffodils must be worn or else it will cost! Any enquiries about El Raso Golf Society can be made by contacting the Secretary on 966719711.

EL PLANTIO 2 GOLF SOCIETY 5TH FEBRUARY MEDAL Yellow Ball today and one to forget as soon as possible, as far as I am concerned! A nice sunny day and hardly any wind to start with and 14 players in the competition so with 2 groups of four and 2 of three we commenced the Yellow Ball game at the first four holes. In our group Frank had the honour with the Yellow Ball at the 3rd and his tee shot landed after a high flight in the middle of the pond! Two points down and no score. Two holes later it was my turn and believe it or not, my tee shot landed in the same pond, four points down and no score again. At that point Ray decided to hand out extra yellow balls to all groups, a good safety measure as in the end only three out of eight balls were returned. After that start I couldn’t hit a normal shot again and I sincerely apologize to Ray and Frank for dragging them down to my miserable level of play. Two hours later the ordeal was over and we returned to the clubhouse to find out that the other group of three was already on the terrace (both yellows gone!). It took some time for the others to come in, so a lively conversation ensued, which, I was told in no uncertain terms, cannot be repeated in this report.

We were happy to see Lyn Young coming to join us, walking like a young bird only seven weeks after the hip operation (again no further comment in this report).

After all players were back on the terrace the presentation started with the NTPs for Ian Henderson on the 2nd and for Dave Smith on the 6th hole.

Well done. With us out of the way the other three groups shared the prizes, with in third Gordon Abba, George Stanhope and Keith Smith, 118 points and in second Ian Henderson, William Murphy, Martin Rickman and John O’Brien, 125 points. The winners with 1 point more and the only ones to return both yellow balls were Gordon Wayne and the three Dave’s, Smith, Swann and Collins. A well deserved win and congratulations!

Next Tuesday’s competition 12th February at El Plantio will be the simplest individual game, Stableford. Put your name down by the Sunday before and make sure to be there on Tuesday on time well before 09.30.

See you all in good health! Visitors are welcome, contact Ian Henderson, tel 966716616 or mobile 636116230.

TORREVIEJA GOLF SOCIETY At Mar Menor on 4th February.

We had an excellent turn out of 38 players for our latest visit to our home course Mar Menor Village although it is doubtful whether the number would have been as many if it had been advertised in advance that the competition on the day was to be a Medal Stroke play event.

Whilst it is not universally popular with our members, Medal play is a true reflection of the individual player’s performance on the day and definitely requires a different mind set to playing in a Stableford competition.

Conditions on the day were fairly benign compared with the last few weeks and the course was in first class shape. However, the fact that we do not play this scoring format on a regular basis certainly showed, with most players having at least one card wrecking score during their round.

No player managed to play to their handicap but the winners of both divisions each registered respectable scores of 74 net and Sheila Aston fully justified her elevation to the category 1 division with another good round carding a net 75.

The list of winners on the day were: Category1: 1st Kevin Thornton with a net 74.

2nd Sheila Aston with a net 75.

3rd Geoff Branton with a net 77 on count back.

Tommy Clarke was the unlucky player in this division who missed out on the prizes on the count back rule.

Category 2: 1st David Lock with a net 74.

2nd Frank Robbins with a net 79 on count back.

3rd Roy Hills with a net 79.

As a consolation, a prize for the best Stableford score with 33 points was awarded to John Edwards.

Nearest the Pin prizes were won by Frank Robbins, John McArthur, Stewart McKay and David Lock but no 2’s were recorded this week.

The football card draw was won by our only guest player, Ron Davis, who has now decided to join the Society as a member.

Next week we will be playing at Font del Llop with a first tee time of 10.30 and members should check the new web site for their start times and directions to the course or the notice board in the Portobello Bar in Campoverde.

LEADER

TMGS AT ALICANTE GOLF ON 6 FEBRUARY

Sponsored by Costa Blanca Green Fee Services.

Here on the Costa’s golf is one of the biggest leisure time activities for both tourists and resident alike and with this in mind we have secured the services of Mike Probert of Costa Blanca Green Fee Services to provide a weekly round up of local golfing events and topics and in conjunction with us at THE LEADER will provide discounted golf prices to all of our readers and run our golf competitions.

Golf Course Review Corvera The golf course at Corvera was preparing to open to the public in 2010 but due to a legal dispute between the developer and residents the course was ‘moth balled’ The course which was originally under the proposed management of the De Vere group (Belfry and Roda) is now under the management of Residencial Mirallevant who also manage La Tercia and Nigel Hardy has day to day control over the operation of the course and brand new clubhouse and opened to the public in December 2012.

The course itself is a par 72 measuring 6148 metres (6782 yards) from the white tees and 5593 metres (6152 yards) from the yellow tees and has strategically placed bunkers and water hazards but is ideally suited to society golf.

The course has been attractively priced and you can obtain green fees from us for as little as €36 each, including a buggy.

When the new theme park and airport are completed this course will be ideally located to suit the needs of tourists so why not take the opportunity to play the course now before it gets too busy.

We at THE LEADER are committed to providing to our golfing readers affordable golf without the need to join a club or apply for a card but simply contact the number below to have instant access to discounted golf prices, many of which are exclusive to us.

The deals shown in the table are some of the best currently available to you.

Golfing Weather Watch The week will start feeling cold and with high winds (again) but improving as the week develops with temperatures in the mid-teens degrees.

Quotation of the week “Always remember you work for an ungrateful boss” – Dale Carnegie

Once again, our Wednesday golf saw us standing on the first tee with Horatio arranging for the wind to blow in our faces and I am sure many had visions of lost balls, broken windows, fleeing ducks as golf balls found their way to a watery grave. Seve was, without doubt, a miracle man with a golf club, but by heck he had a wicked sense of humour when he designed this course. If one was to look up, I am sure that you would see that smile of the man as he looked down and wanting to take the shot for you; that smile of his beaming as he watched golf balls hit water and flying off into the out of bounds areas.

As the day wore on, the wind dropped which allowed at least a few holes to be played in a normal way, until Horatio had seen enough and got the wind up again. Talking of wind,

LO CRISPIN GS 6th February 2013

By Gail Coultate The skies were blue, the sun was shining but unfortunately the wind was up as well, even so 36 members and guests braved another windy day to play a stableford at Alenda Golf Club. The greens were very good and up to the standard that we expect at Alenda, but depending which way the wind was blowing putting was quite a lottery, some would say nightmare. You could be eighteen inches from the hole one minute and if you were not quick enough to mark the ball, end up off the green with a following wind, looking at a twenty footer. Most players took this phenomenon in good spirits, well it was laugh or cry and it is only a game of golf after all! As I have kept saying of the last weeks, there are some people that always play well in the wind and this was the case today.

There were numerous countbacks on the back nine for all catorgories, so everyone was pretty close in the end. Results: Gold Division: 1st Colin Ranson 30pts, 2nd Harry Wilcock 29pts and 3rd Martin Collins 28pts. Silver: 1st Alan Crain 27pts, 2nd Paul Flanaghan 26 pts and 3rd Danny McErlean 24pts.

Brionze: 1st Damien (Wind King) Elliott 29pts, 2nd John Soderbergh 28pts c/b and 3rd David Dodd 28pts. Nearest pins: hole 3 Geoff Dowsett and hole 16 Martin Collins (the other 2 par 3s were inaccessible) even by the Wind King.

Free game draw was won by Robin Rolfe.

John Eyre bent over to retrieve his ball marker and the noise was a tell-tale sign of a curry the night before. However, this was not the case and John’s new nickname will be “PJ” as in PJ Proby. Those of you (us!) old enough will recall PJ’s antics on stage with his tighter than tight trousers.

Anyway, once again, the wind prevented most from scoring well and in fact, not one member achieved handicap although the winner of the Silver Division, Sandra Twentyman was very close with an excellent and top score of the day with 35 points. The runner-up spot was taken by Ally Murray with 32 points, followed very closely by John “PJ” Eyre on 31 points.

The Silver Division certainly outscored the Gold Division players and it only needed 27 points from Theo Boelhouwer to claim third

spot from Darren Hancock on a countback.

The runner up slot was taken, again, by Steve Higgins on 31 points and the winner and helping in his quest to claim the Order of Merit title, was Alan Rixson on 32 points.

Only 4 of the 6 NTP’s were claimed and these were by just two people. Theo` taking the Gold NTP’s of holes 3 and 8 and NTP sponsor Bill Wylie taking two of his bottles back for holes 12 and 15. Photo, L-R John “PJ” Eyre, Sandra Twentyman, Captain, Alan Rickers, Ally Murray Our next game, Wednesday 13th February, see’s us at the La Finca golf course for our 3rd round of the Captains Trophy, so if you fancy a game just look at our website www.tmgs.org or call the Match Secretary on 966719604.

SAN MIGUEL GOLF SOCIETY AT VILLAMARTIN Another windy Wednesday accompanied by quite a noticeable “wind chill” gave a chilly edge to our regular monthly visit to Villamartin. As many of us know, this course can be quite tricky even in the calmest of conditions but strong and cold gusts somewhat raised the degree of difficulty.

Flagsticks nearly bent double, rather akin to a recent postponed PGA tournament in Hawaii, along with ball flight and roll being severely affected made the gathering of any substantial number of points a forlorn task….for most of us!

Quite a few sheltered tees at Villamartin sometimes gave the illusion that the weather had calmed, but as soon as your ball cleared the surrounding trees and then proceeded to do a sharp turn – you knew you’d been kidded!

From the whole field of over thirty only four players beat 30 points with Barry Roehrig amongst them. Playing with Keith Stevenson, Norman McBride and Norman Padmore, Barry commented that he’d played Villamartin “hundreds of times, but I’ve seen many parts of this course today that I never knew existed!”

Keith was quick to point out that being in his 4-ball it was probably the quickest round Barry had ever experienced!!

The visitor’s prize went to Pauline Hazell with her 25 points and NTP’s were won by Phil Birtwistle (6th), Keith Stevenson (13th) and Ken Flaherty (17th).

Spoils in the silver category were claimed by Ray Ewins, 3rd with 30 pts, Marg Birtwistle, 2nd with 31, and Norman Padmore, 1st with 34.

The gold division showed a 5 point

gap between 2nd & 3rd. Top spot with 37 points was Ken Flaherty, 2nd was Barry Roehrig with 33 and Ben Price took 3rd with 28 points.

The biggest and closest tussle of the day was once again at the other end of the field for the coveted “Abacus” award; the wine is obviously of such a high quality making it a desirable prize. The winner was once again Chris Hamblett who’s swiftly earning the reputation as the Dean Martin of the society…….and it’s NOT for his singing!

Just visit www.smgs.org or give Barry a buzz on 966 731 033 to get full details of all our forthcoming Wednesday meetings and don’t forget that we always make visitors more than welcome.

The 1st.February saw us at this lovely course for the first time this year and you would have thought summer was with us. What a great day for both the weather and the golf, yes, perfect conditions to play but once again members were finding it difficult to get more than 30 points in conditions that should have produced many more points.

Results and League Table after Monday 4th February 2013

It was the first League Match of 2013. Can anybody topple Benijofar in the rest of this season, who knows. Here we are at the picturesque course of Font del Llop, set in the mountain valley beyond Alicante, on a very cold morning at 10am, on the lst and 10th start.

The course looked in really good condition and is full of lakes and narrow fairways, long par 3s and par 5s, but a good day was had by most. As everybody finished and the cards came in there was some really good scores, but it was Benijofar who once again was the overall winner.

Full results of the match are below. Well done for everybody playing on a very difficult day. The League were guests of Benijofar Lunes at the Sol Bar for the presentation and meal, many thanks for their hospitality.

Our first league matches in February gave us two 7-2 results and they were both by the Ebony & Ivory teams. In the home venue Shelagh’s (back from the world tour) Jaguars pounded Izzys Bar Peacocks having Brian and Mick maximising with 3 wins while for the Peacocks Jean and Mike were out of luck without a win leaving them marooned at the foot of the league table.

The other Ebony & Ivory team – Keith’s Merlins travelled up to take on the Sportsman “A” team and triumphed with Pam and Mike winning all their 3 games while for the Sportsman it was only Terry and Harry who scored their 2 wins.

Over at TJ’s Bar Sue’s Team of Jays won the last 3 games of the night, only to miss out 4-5 against Margaret’s Sharks from La Siesta who held on their top position by their fingernails. For the Jays it was Dave and Brian who kept hope alive with their 2 wins while for the Sharks 2 pairs matched them also with 2 wins.

In Hoggies Bar for the first time my Falcons team almost tasted success but dipped out in the last game to finish against John’s visiting Lions from Catorce. For the Falcons Gill and myself came out best with 2 wins, while for the Lions, 2 pairs also had 2 wins.

For Dorothy’s Magpies entertaining Richard’s Ospreys from Hoggies Bar it was a case of winning the last 3 games to win on the night in a close battle leaving the Ospreys without a win over the last 5 matches. For the Magpies 2 pairs came through with 2 wins while for the Ospreys, Alan and Ann sat firm with 3 wins.

In Bar Virgo, Val’s Voles were overcome by Russell’s Kestrels from Hoggies Bar who won the last 3 legs to win for the first time in 5 weeks with Brian and Barbara showing some form with their 3 wins to climb 3 places up the league while for the Voles, all the 3 pairs compromised with 1 win each.

In Shellys Bar, Ayliff’s “A” team had one of those unexpected wins taking all the last 3 legs in their match against The Virgo Robins who had Ann and Albert having a bad night with zero wins while 2 pairs for Shellys had 2 wins each.

Unfortunately the score sheet for Catorce Leopards was not available for collection so I can’t comment on the match details.

ABBEY ANGLING MATCH FISHING

By Terry Screen The 5th round of the Abbey Angling Cup was fished at the Embalsa de Pedrera on the 5th February.

It looks as if spring could be early this year as the House Martins have returned back to Spain, the wind is still blowing strong and the waves are eroding the banks as they are made up of mud stone, it is also making the waters edge very muddy.

The fishing is now improving a little with only one dry net this week, and hemp and tares are still the order of the day with anglers beginning to take fish on the waggler.

1st Dave (Yours Truly) Hoare with 4.940kg fishing the feeder using maggot, 2nd Dave (The Sweetie Man) Hutchinson with 4.920kg 3rd Stan (The Man) Roberts with 4.800kg both fishing the feeder and waggler using hemp and tares All details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from the match secretary Terry Screen on 965 32 8368

CORNISH PRIDE LOS DOLSES TEN PIN BOWLING LEAGUE Matches played February 5th After all the excitement of watching the ‘perfect’ game being bowled last week, all the bowlers were still in a celebrating mood, when they came to the bowl this week.

But before the league started I had to get all the bowlers together, and give them the sad news that one of our most popular league bowlers, JUAN VIDAL, had passed away the night before.

Juan had only been living in the Torrevieja area for about 7 years. He had left his Mallorcan home when he was 22 and moved to England, where he eventually met, fell in love and married Chris. When they decided it was time to leave the UK and move back to Spain, Juan wanted to make sure he carried on with the sport he loved, ten pin bowling.

When the Tuesday Night Trios League was formed in 2008, he entered a team under the name of Los Tres Amigos, that is when most of us got to know Juan and his wife Chris. It’s fair to say that his team struggled for the first 2 seasons, but Juan’s passion for the sport kept his team going. He changed his team name to Bandoleros in 2010, and the team improved their final league position for the next 2 seasons. But Juan’s proudest moment in our league was last season when he helped his team to win our knock-out cup competition.

Nobody was really in the mood to bowl after receiving my sad news, but we carried on because we felt that Juan would have wanted us to.

Results on the night, Carp-r-us 0 – Hall y Day 8. Los Bandidos 2 – Team Finland 6. Los Lobos 2 – Bar Mosquito 6. Split Happens 6 – Splash 2.

Mixers 6 – Crazy Pinz 2. Caballo Negro 6 – Cornish Pride 2.

Adios Juan, a good bowler, a good friend, and a good man.

Gogarty´s final didn’t materialise as the Meerkats reversed a 5-3 score line to edge out the table toppers for their fifth consecutive final. The Bulls countered an early Hyenas onslaught, denying the Hub a consecutive final appearance.

The Rendezvous venue hosted the Gogarty´s Meerkats semi that went right to the wire, with all 13 legs necessary to determine the winners. Paul Durrant won the bull for throw against Ali O´Keef in the first of the 701 triples format. Some powerful scoring from the Kats Alex Nikolov 2x100 and D4 from Durrant left the league leaders without the opportunity of an outshot. The second was much the same but with the Gogarty´s trio including James Brown 100 and Jack Todd stepping up a gear. O´Keef

contributed a 98 and 120, the Kats countered with Nikolov 140,100 Durrant 100, John Eyre finishing the leg on D10 for 2-0. Brown kicked off with a ton in the third, Nikolov replying with 121 and D10 for a surprising 3-0 and comfortable cushion. Gogarty´s second triple of Mark Todd Paul Easton and Chris O´Brien matched the quality of their first three, but the outcome, much to captain Bill Warburton´s relief, was a complete table turn. Easton 3x100, Todd 100,D4, and O´Brien 100,D1 and a 66 out (S15,S15,D18) were just a little too strong for the Kats, although Graham Todd 120,133 and Derek Kingsbury´s 140 did their best to limit the damage, 3-3. Nikolov 120 hit the only ton in the seventh, O´Keef making it 3-4 with an S9,D4 out. Three more tons followed in the next via Eyre, Durrant and O´Keef but the all important double was left to Todd senior S7,D16 to make it five legs in a row for the Gophers. A ton apiece from Todd and O´Keef wasn’t enough as Eyre 100 was followed by Nikolov going out on 76 (S16,S20,D20) 4-5. Nikolov figured again in the tenth completing the leg on D10 after Eyre had hit 119. The eleventh leg really came alive with Eyre 140, Brown 140 and the inimitable O´Keef 100 and 46 out (S6,D20) to make the score 6-5 in favour of Gogarty´s and one leg away from the final. Brown, O´Keef and Durrant all hit tons, with the double being left to Nikolov who promptly slotted home D20 (6-6).

The thirteenth and deciding leg meant throwing for the bull which O´Keef won, to give the Gophers that all important advantage. Eyre 100 O´Keef 140 and Durrant 140 were the main scorers, but the Kats made it to the double first with Eyre nailing D16 for the deciding leg and a place in the final. 38 scores of 95 and over, a fantastic match and a credit to both sides.

O´Keef was Gogarty´s man of the match, Nikolov the Kats.

Gogarty´s hosted the other Sunworld semi, this one going just one leg short of the maximum. Some great darts from both sides in the first three triples gave the Hyenas a surprise 2-1 advantage over the powerful Bulls.

Geoff Proudfoot 100,85,95,140 Sean Smith 100,81,60 and Joe Miller´s contribution of 100,85,81,100 along with D10 and D16, using just one dart for each, were just too much for the opposition in the first two legs.

Siimilar scoring from Phil Waller, Graham Dunning and Martin Hastings pulled one back for the Bulls when Waller requiring 52 used two darts S20,D16 for the leg. In the second set of triples only Lee Holtham 140 shone for the Hyenas, which left the more than capable trio of Trevor Hartley 95,133 Boris Ostrowski 116,123 and Terry Hagenaars 95,100,100 to polish off all three legs for a 4-2 score line. The Hag recorded D20,D8 and a fine 100 out (T20,D20). In the seventh Proudfoot missed a bull fin-

ish only for Waller to miss tops leaving D10, Miller obliged with S9,D8 for 4-3. The match tightened to 4 apiece when the sometimes erratic Sean Smith polished off a respectable 81 (S19,T10,D16). Making up for his earlier miss, Waller took out D20 after several misses to give the Bulls a one leg advantage 5-4. The Hag made it 6-4 on his favourite D16 after a single 16 for a creditable 48 out. The Hyenas were first to a double in the eleventh but Miller missed the opportunity but surprisingly so did the Hag, leaving Miller to redeem himself on D1. 6-5. In a tense twelfth leg not surprisingly scores suffered a little, but when you need a double and a place in the final, who better to have in your side than the flying Dutchman, Mr. Hagenaars. He needed 10 points and using just the one dart, acknowledged the cheers after hitting D5. It will be a great final between two sides currently fielding some excellent players, don’t be surprised if it goes all 13 legs Final 16th May. Two outstanding fixtures were played out this week, PB´s enjoying a comfortable win over the Breeze Bar which moves them up to eighth place and an eye on this year´s League Plate. Well done to Ray Sanderson and team.

In the other match Mirador Mixtures entertained the Honeys in a bottom of the table clash which resulted in an amiable draw leaving the Mixtures unfortunately still bottom of the pile. Playing exceptional darts lately, Graham and Lorraine Cox got a deserved rest to babysit their granddaughter. They were badly missed and who said their evening off was a rest?

Cheryl Sleath got the Mixtures off to a good start winning the first after Dave Wright had hit his usual ton. Ron St. James and Angela Crofts replied for the Honeys winning both triples. Jade Cox and Glen Hockton made the scores level in the first pair and in the second Debbie Mackleston teamed up with partner Wright who after the league sponsor´s 85, scored 80,81 and D18 to regain the lead. At half time the scores were level, Hilda Wilkinson hitting D7. The Honeys took the next three for 3-6 via Ray Green D7, Crofts D20 and Denise Green D10. Wright continued his decent form in the next single 98,91 and D16 to give the Mixtures the chance of a point. Hockton left himself on 54 and promptly scored S18,S18,D9 on his birthday for 5-6. Tracey Simpson was on last for the Mixtures and acquitted herself well scoring 60,75,85 and 77 to leave 26 which she got next throw. A deserved draw after being 3-6 down.

EMERALD ISLE BOWLS CLUB Friday, 2 February - who can believe it, only just into February with blue sky and temperatures nearing the mid twenties. Bowling is a pleasure, that is unless you are a Cavalier! A black day for them, unable to field a full team and going down to Greenlands Elms 84 shots to 107, 6 points to 8. Better luck next time.

The Claymores played host to Quesada Swallows. Three rinks were very close and it could have gone either way, but in the end Quesada came away with the shots and points - EI 108 shots to the Swallows 117, 4 points to 10. It seems that we are nearly there but not quite at the moment. However, I'm sure we'll keep on going, won't we?

Monday, 4 February saw the Moonrakers visit Monte Mar to play the Picadors, hoping to reverse last November's home defeat. The weather was perfect for bowling but unfortunately we couldn't perform on the day, going down on all rinks - a big fat ZERO to 14 points for the Home Team!

Shot difference - EI 83 to Picadors 139. We must get rid of that bad habit, mustn't we? Many thanks to John Evans for standing in at the last minute.

The Titans played host to San Miguel Meteors. A hard game was expected and, as always, that's what we got with some very close ends. Best win of the day went to Marilyn Shatwell, Ed Shepherd & Brian (the knees) Duff - 26 shots to 10. A very good overall win for the Titans, 107 shots to 84 giving us a brilliant 12 points to 2. A fantastic result, well done keep it going.

SABA WINTER TRIPLES

VISTABELLA BOWLS CLUB

GREENLANDS BOWLS CLUB

4 FEBRUARY - WEEK 11 ENTERPRISE LEAGUE

By Arthur Brown Monday saw our best performance for some weeks with both teams recording 10 points to 4 victories. Both teams played at home with the Eagles starting the day with a 99 shots to 92 win over La Siesta Sputniks, winning rinks were Diane Harwood, June Hitchcock and George Gandy, Pauline and Pat Rafferty and Jim Harwood, Lesley Prockter, Ken Savage and Brian Prockter and Jim Marshall, Peter Cadwell and Jeff Neve. The Albatrosses kept up the good work in the afternoon with a 103 to 90 success over Monte Mar Novilleros. Winning rinks were Doreen Leggatt, Andy Leggatt and Maggie Furness, Beryl Regan, Martin Foulcer and Fred Wiltshire, Bernard Ledger, Sandra Burrows and Bill Corbishley and Parry Thomas, Neil Burrows and Mo Thomas.

Our Wednesday Winter league team entertained Javea Green and here the weather was probably the winner, in very difficult conditions we lost out by 8 points to 2 although the shot difference was a very creditable 73 – 64 in Javea’s favour. Our winning rink was Ian Kenyon, Les Barber, Pat Harman and Jenny Bowman. Our Berleen team continued their winning ways with a fine 26 – 13 win; the team this week was Barbara Brown, Coleen Money, Tom Furness and Dan Money.

Thursday saw our Fed Fours team welcome Greenlands and once again the wind was a vital ingredient in the outcome of the final result which this time produced a shot total of 50 – 46 in Vistabella’s favour to produce a 6 points to 2 total for us. Wins came from Barbara Brown, Arthur Brown, Jenny Bowman and Brian Dunn plus Gail Watson, Ann Rudkin, Fred Willshire and Pat Harman.

Friday’s Southern League games saw another good performance from both teams, the Conquistadors played in the morning against Quesada Swifts winning on three rinks and taking the overall shots to give us an 8 points to 6 win. Well done to our winning teams who were Lesley Prockter, Diane Harwood and Brian Prockter, Rosemary Savage, Jim Marshall and Jim Harwood and Kay Mathews, Brian Pointon and Trevor Hoare. The Lanzadores took over in the afternoon and produced a very strong performance to beat Emerald Isle Cavaliers 110 shots to 71 and 12 points to 2.

Winning teams were Gail Watson, Les Barber and Dan Money, Sandra Burrows, Neil Burrows and Pat Harman, Roger Lewis, Maggie Furness and Richard Lee, Andy Leggatt, Arthur Brown and John Rudkin and Beryl Regan, Ian Kenyon and Jenny Bowman. All in all a very good weeks bowling.

Club members please note there will be a Club Forum on Saturday 16th March.

There were a couple of firsts this week for Greenlands teams. In the SABA league, with over half the season played, our Sycamores only went and won their first game of the season. At home to La Siesta Apollos, there were 3 wins apiece, but they squeezed home overall, taking shots by 7, and a moral boosting 8-6 victory. Well done: Z Wilcock, M Lockley, B Miller 22-16. G Bater, P Lockley, L Miller 26-9. N Bater, Penny Tomkins, T Upham 22-15. Also at home, but this time in the fed 4s, the bulls hit the jackpot, as they trampled all over Emerald Isles Leprechauns. Although only 4 games into the season, these federated members provided their team with not only a first win, but also an 8-0 whitewash: A Toozer, B & B Sims, D Greenland 21-13. S Stead, J Pocock, M Brown, B Pocock 2011. G Bater, M Mackay, M Veal, S Cantley 22-10. In the other fed 4s match, the Bears put up a tremendous fight at windy Vistabella. F Tilley, C Thomas, P Lockley & A Goodfellow, won 16-12, and although the other 2 rinks lost, only 4 shots stopped the draw, as they went down 2-6.

Back to SABA league now. An excellent performance saw Maples convincingly beat Quesada Pearls 10-4. Get in there: C Thomas, J Pocock, M Brown 20-12. M Mackay, A Toozer, M Fryatt 17-14. T French, S Stead, B Pocock 23-18. B Tomlin, F Tilley, V Mahomet 22-18. A hard game awaited Chestnuts, as they travelled to La Marina to play the Astronaughts.

In a very tight match, these 2 rinks earned points for their team, as they went down 4-10: D Watt, D Thompson, D Webb 18-16. B Norris, L Morris, P Heyes 20-13.

This week, the Condors in their match against La Siesta Pioneers came away with 2 points. These points came from the rink of John Goddard, Bill Reeves and Mick Bellison. I have to congratulate Mick for being able to complete the game, and to John for the improvement that he has been able to maintain over the last few weeks. As for Bill !!

KOEMAN BRACE EARNS 3 VITAL POINTS FC JOVE ESPANOL..........1 FC TORREVIEJA...............2 Not since the opening day of the season have Torry won an away league game, but against well placed Jove Espanol, they deservedly ended that dismal run.

They started and finished positively, apart from brief lapses of concentration, and this victory never really looked in doubt.

Changes to the starting line-up saw a debut for Dani Meseguer, plus recalls for suspension spent pair Koeman & Burguillos. Torry should have had a pen on 6 mins when Koeman was clearly barged off the ball, but ref Rodriguez saw it differently. Less than 4 mins later, justice was done when a spot kick was awarded for Patri having his legs taken from under him. Up stepped Koeman to power home, straight down the middle, giving his side a deserved lead. From their very first attack, the home side equalised on 23 mins.

A free kick from the edge of the box hit the inside of the near post, only to roll nicely into the path of Antonio, who from point blank range hammered the ball home. Ten mins later, Jove should have gone in front, but faced with only Manolo to beat, Jose shot straight at a grateful keeper. Constant Jove pressure looked like reaping rewards, but when Jose's free kick went desperately close with 8 mins remaining, a

relieved Torry side held on without conceding again before half time.

Substitute Luis Carlos (why he didn't start is beyond me!) had a superb looping drive tipped over for a corner on 55 mins, as Torry regained their belief. From the next attack, a long ball found Koeman in space, but an alert keeper Josete prevented him putting in a shot. Another long ball on 62 mins was seized on by man of the match Koeman, only this time he struck a peach of a shot inside the near post.

Jove threatened briefly minutes later, requiring a brilliant save by Manolo to deny a goal bound rocket header from a corner. Patri made way for Villanueva, another debutant, as Torry sought to steady the ship.

Calero should have equalised with 8 mins of normal time remaining, but his header just missed the target.

In stoppage time, Torry could have twice added to their goal tally, when Abel hit the post, then a Luis Carlos effort went just wide.

All future Torry home matches will be played at the Nelson Mandela Stadium, starting next Sun 17 Feb, ko 5pm, when relegation threatened Denia are the visitors.

Torrevieja can achieve this season

FORGETTABLE WIN FOR REDS HERCULES CF ‘B’.........0 UD HORADADA ............2 A very good result for ‘the Reds’ but not a very impressive game. Once again the defence held strong but when both goals are scored by defenders it doesn’t reflect well on the club forwards.

Unfortunately, one of the new signings, Javi Rosa, wasn’t able to compete owing to problems with his transfer paperwork and the other front man, Salinas, was still carrying an injury from last week so it was left once again to Ensa and Vardan to be the front runners but yet again they just weren’t up to the job with Vardan continuously going down feigning injury and eventually getting booked, and Ensa, although doing a lot of running, never producing a shot. The good thing to come from the game, though, was the good form of new signing Cristian who played, for 65 minutes, showing great promise in a first class performance.

Early in the game, José Maria crossed the ball but Ensa was unable to control it when bearing down on goal.

Shortly after this, the home side went close after Carlos Mereno headed over the bar from a Fran Martinez cross.

Just before half time, Fran Martinez and Ensa clashed while going for the ball which saw both Physio’s on the field, ending with Fran receiving a second yellow, then a red card. Not a lot of difference between the teams during the first half.

From the restart both Cristian and Ensa received yellow cards, a problem all afternoon, with the referee giving out so many cards and spoiling what could have been a good game.

Ten minutes in, from a corner taken by Jose Maria, Del Baño headed the ball in to put Horadada in front.

Christian was making runs down the wing and crossing into the middle but there was no end product. Javi Ruiz then replaced José Maria and eventually Samu came on for Cristian and Titi for Ensa.

And then another problem around the Hercules goal area saw a free kick being given within the penalty area. We can only assume that the keeper was having words with the referee as he was shown the red card.

The reserve keeper on the bench gave his jersey to Carbonell, one of the outfield players, who took over the role and Hercules were down to nine players.

Antonio rushed in to take the free kick, which he hit straight into goal, 2-0 to ‘the Reds.’ Soon after this Titi had a good run down the right and crossed to Samu who had an open goal but chose to put it straight to the keeper on the opposite side of his goal area.

A useful three points, particularly in view of next weeks crunch match against Almoradí, who also picked up all 3 points in a 1-0 win at home to El Campello, but far from a footballing spectacle, they will certainly have to do better next Sunday if they are to overcome the league leaders!

FRIDAY BOXING IN GUARDAMAR A total of 8 bouts with the one professional contest featuring local heavyweight Magomed Azueva who will meet 35 year old Hungarian journeyman Gabor Farkas, veteran of 38 fights himself, including one against Norwegian Leif Larsen who many will remember from his Torrevieja fight days 6 or 7 years ago.

The contest will see plenty of fireworks with two big punchers in action and seems very unlikely to go the distance. The 7 other bouts feature many of the area’s best amateur fighters, some of who will certainly become boxers to follow.

The show is being held on Friday night at Barlo Guardamar Disco and doors open at 10pm.

CF MIL PALMERAS WEEKLY ROUNDUP

Formentera 3-1 Mil Palmeras Preben 2006 Sponsored by Fuego La Fuente Another excellent performance by the youngest Toros team up against a good side and horrendous wind Mil Palmeras had the cheek to take the lead with a splendid goal from Thomas Ellis again after hard work from Kevin Ruiz set him free. And we didn't cave in either going on to create further chances. Formentera equaliser after slack marking left their forward free at the back post.and just before half time they took the lead. Half time 2-1.

Second half and we came strong against the wind when Thomas and kevin both went close to an equaliser, with Lacey Elliot and Makenna on her debut holding firm and jack and Callum busy in midfield Thomas and Kevin were causing them lots of trouble.

But Formentera grabbed the match winner from a free kick that flew into the bottom corner after Dylan had played so well. Final score 3-1.

Man of the match Dylan Cooke getting better every week.

Capablanca 0 - 3 CF Mil Palmeras Benjam Sponsored by Sunshine FM 102.8 After some lovely weather during the week the wind came back with vengance for this weekends matches .Between Capablanca setting out 4 at the back and playing head on into the wind the first half was always going to be tough . Again Luke Naylor controlled the center of the pitch allowing us to play the ball left and right for David Milton and Ben Naylor but with Capablanca swomping their box with players we struggled to find the back of the net . Paolo Webb hustled up front and kept the pressure on giving David space to control Bens cross and shoot across the goal .Again Niomi Sheffield ,Baliey Tomlinson and Luca Webb smothered Capablanca's attacks leaving Diego Sheffield with only a couple of good saves to make to

finish 1-0 at have time.

Second half and with the wind behind them the Toros pushed up the pitch keeping Capablanca in their half most of the time .With Diego and Luca now storming the lines a second goal had to come and with Niomi and Diego working hard in the area Niomi put the ball across the box for Luca to cleanly finish . Ben and Bailey cut out most of the high balls to keep the pressure up the pitch until Luca put the ball in the box from a throw forcing Capablanca to score an own goal .

David and Paolo looked solid at the back to give the Toros a clean sheet and finish the match 0-3 .

A tough match with the conditions and a few players not 100% means the Toros can hold their Heads high with another 3 points keeping them top of the League .

Player of the Match Diego de Sheffield for non stop running .

Spons by Talleres J Martinez Ford Garage CF Mil Palmeras Alevines 4-2 CF Capablanca Another win for the Oldest Toros now boasting a 100% win rate in 2013 which makes it four in a row.

This team now buoyed with confidence again played some wonderful stuff but this was today supported by a tremendous defensive display aswell. And with a player who just can't stop scoring at the moment Mil Palmeras are flying up the table. All four goals were scored by Agustin Ramirez but this was owed to the whole team as they worked tirelessly to win the ball back all over the park. And when the midfield got hold of it they passed it around beautifully.half time 2-0 Second half we conceded early but instead if backs to the wall The Toros scored straight away and could of had more. With 10 minutes left Capablanca got it back to 3-2 completely against the run of Play but again Mil Palmeras didn't fold and scored again to finish 4-2.

Man of the match Jamie Mcdonald commanded the defence brilliantly.

ELCHE DRA W WITH 12 MAN CORDOBA ELCHE CF ................................0 CORDOBA CF............................0 I’m not normally an anti-ref merchant, they have an extremely difficult, thankless job to do, but this one... Gonzales Fuerte ruined a very tough, exciting game, almost from the first minute with a series of bizarre decisions, mostly against Elche. This quickly woke up the freezing crowd of 11, 730 including 100 odd Cordoba faithful who travelled 6 hours to sit isolated in the upper tier. Their big, strong, fast team sit in the play-off positions in fifth place, having only lost 7 from 25. The Illicitanos were back to full strength, although club captain (but not my choice) Generelo is now preferred to Mantecon in midfield, but good news, super Suarez returned at right back. Striker Berry Powel appears out-of-favour currently, coach Fran Escriba preferring new busybut-no-goals local boy Aaron.

It became rapidly apparent that you couldn’t touch the excellent Alberto in the Cordoba goal: one of Elche’s most potent weapons are lofted free kicks and corners dropped like grenades into the six yard box, aimed for the heads of centre-backs Etxeita and Peligrin, but almost before the ball arrived the ref was blowing for a foul. But worse occurred when Coro beat his man on the edge of the box, the ball scrambled away for a corner, but the busy striker was inexplicably booked, apparently for handball – the ref couldn’t have seen it, the linesman flagged and to me it looked the other way, but no consultation. Suarez then followed Coro into the book for a foul, but when Renella scythed down hard-man Albacar –no foul, no booking - Gaga Gonzales awarded a throw in – and the crowd went predictably mad. From then on the man in yellow was doomed, but he went blithely on, giving nothing to the home side, but pro the visitors every time.

In the second half Alberto turned on the style with acrobatic saves from Xumetra and Coro with great shots going in the top corner, and Generelo (grr!) missed a perfect opportunity following a corner, leaning back, as usual and blasting it miles over. A huge cheer announced the welcoming back of former Elche golden boy, the appropriately-named Angel to replace Aaron, but sadly the little striker couldn’t swing it for the Franjiverdes, despite being full of running, as ever.

This time last year then-leaders Elche began to lose crucial games like this by the odd goal, usually in the final minutes, but goalkeeper Herrera has

BY JOHN MCGREGOR

At least some were having fun only conceded 12 in 25 and with 10 minutes left showed it wasn’t only Alberta who could do it, getting down low to his left to push Silva’s excellent volley past the post – phew, that would have been disastrous - and Gonzales wouldn’t have got out of the City of Palms alive. It was far too late to make amends, but in an effort to he booked Cordoba’s Silva 5 minutes from the end, realised he had done so previously and sent off the dejected, disbelieving striker, who then attempted a new record by taking a lengthy time-wasting trudge to the sidelines. Despite much Elche pressure and the occasional worrying Cordoba counter-attack it finished fiercely 0 – 0.

Next week the Illicitanos travel to Sporting Gijon down in 14th who beat Lugo 2 – 1 on Saturday: they’ve won 5, drawn 5 and lost 3 at home so far.

Interesting! With Almeria pulverizing sinking Sabadell 5 – 1 the gap at the top is a cool ten points, but the fight and spirit is there at Elche in abundance, Herrera and his defence still the rock on which this super season has been founded.

Mucho Elche!
