Picture: Sonya Duncan ARCHANT EASTERN DAILY PRESS (01603) 772434 There aren’t too many non-league clubs at Wroxham’s level who can boast to have three former Premier League players in their ranks. Jordan Southgate and Adam Drury have helped Wroxham to second place in the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division.

Baby llamas born in Godalming are just TOO cute
Staff at the Merry Harriers Inn in Hambledon have had twice as much to celebrate this month after they welcomed their first ever set of crias (baby llamas) to their growing herd. The pub have kept llamas in their fields for nearly 10 years but this is the first time they have ever managed to breed them successfully. Mums Toffee and Lucky gave birth to a girl and a boy, and the boisterous young pair have apparently been inseparable ever since. The pub has even thrown open their names to a public vote, with the winning entries being announced on Tuesday (April 17).

Kurt Walker and Brendan Irvine just come up short in search for Holy Grail
THEY don’t call Peter McGrail ‘the Scouse Lomachenko’ for nothing, and the 21-year-old lived up to his billing with a classy performance to just edge out Lisburn’s Kurt Walker in the bantamweight final. Walker came into the decider after posting impressive wins over Australia’s Jack Bowen, Lesotho’s Moroke Mokhotho and Canada’s Eric Basran, but European gold medallist McGrail was always going to be his toughest test by far. The 22-year-old boxed the right fight, staying patient on the back foot and attempting quick, accurate raids before getting out of the way against an opponent who always looks to be within striking distance. The final two rounds were close after McGrail had taken the first, with Walker edging the third but it wasn’t enough as he slipped to a split decision defeat. “He’s very tricky, it took me a while to get my rhythm but I gave it my all,” said the Canal counter-puncher. “I can definitely be … [Read more...] about Kurt Walker and Brendan Irvine just come up short in search for Holy Grail

Star Interview: ‘The Moor used to be the place to shop and now it’s coming back’
0 Have your say “I’ve waited 14 years for this,” says Sandra Barley. She’s talking about the prospect of fashion chain Next moving to The Moor in Sheffield – an idea first put to her as long ago as 2004, when she joined the shopping street as its centre liaison manager.“I was promised this brave new world. I’ve got such a history with The Moor, because I’ve seen it from the bad days to the new, great days. There have been a lot of changes.”The place, recently transformed with a sweeping regeneration scheme bringing new retailers, restaurants, a cinema and tidier surroundings, has had a chequered history. It was virtually flattened during bombing raids in World War Two, and went from being one of the city’s prime spots – it had a Hamleys toy shop and a Habitat interiors store – to somewhere much dowdier by the time Sandra arrived.This was before owners Aberdeen Standard Investments – previously … [Read more...] about Star Interview: ‘The Moor used to be the place to shop and now it’s coming back’
