What does this mean to us today? How can we take the example of Gannon and Bowyer into our lives away from football, away from sport? There is much to learn. We need to believe that although we are in- dividuals, we are all part of com- munities; our family, our school our sports teams our friends and our work. None of us can survive alone. We interact with others all the time and it is in these interactions that we re- veal our true characteristics. Do we believe in our family, our friends our team our school or our employers? Are we committed? Do we ‘go the extra mile’ for others? Are we selfish or selfless? Do we show by our actions that we feel we belong and are willing to invest a little bit more of ourselves for others? At JP2F4S we believe in these values. We promote the core values of tolerance, forgiveness, humility, justice, truth, dignity integrity and service which we believe allow other virtues to flow. And so, no matter where you are on the long and winding road of your life’s journey, a belief in Jesus and a commitment to follow him, will lead you to your [His] door. n Dr Colm Hickey is the John Paul II Foundation for Sport’s director of education Belief – Stockport County manager Jim Gannon, right, after clinching the National League North title with captain Paul Turnbull, centre, and Ash Palmer Published by Universe Media Group Limited, 2nd Floor, Oakland House, 76 Talbot Road, Manchester M16 0PQ.

  • County Warfare | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives County Warfare Page 1 of 4 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Sport › News & Features Comment Varsity Roses College Cup Fantasy Football County Warfare Jamie Summers assesses the plight of Stockport County, as they prepare for life in the sixth tier of English football Saturday 29 June 2013 The supporters of Stockport County are punch drunk. Those with longer memories will remember Stockport as a Championship outfit. Beating Manchester City became a regular (and very enjoyable) experience. But County’s remarkable fall from grace over the last decade is so drastic that perhaps only Portsmouth have experienced the same. A full account of the last 10 years would require a book, so I start two years ago in 2011/12. Having only exited a damaging period of administration 12 months previously, County had just endured their second successive relegation – culminating in non-league football for the first time in living memory. Despite the goings-on of the previous few years (which I won’t bore you with), the summer of 2011 was one of excitement. A potential new takeover saw the appointment of Champions League winner Didi Hamann as manager and a handsome budget to help guide the club back into the Football League at the first attempt. That utopian dream failed to materialise. Fourth months in, the Hatters were languishing in 17th place and looking a good bet for a third successive relegation. The squad was spineless, and having lost the support of the majority of fans, Hamann departed after just 19 games.

    Make Votes Matter www.makevotesmatter.org.uk Contact: Joe Sousek Chris Skidmore MP E: [email protected] Minister for the Constitution T: 07402 965566 Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Copied to: Theresa May Prime Minister 10th October 2016 If our Constitution is to continue “evolving and adapting in line with people’s expectations and needs” the case for Proportional Representation must be given full and fair consideration Dear Mr Skidmore, Congratulations on your appointment as Minister for the Constitution. Now more than ever, stewardship of the UK’s constitution and democratic processes is a crucial role. We therefore welcome your commitment to “see our democracy grow in strength and that everyone can have their ​ voice heard”1, and we wish you every success in the job. ​ It is difficult, however, to see how our democracy can grow in strength or how everyone can have their voice heard without addressing the failures of the UK’s primary democratic process: the election of MPs to the House of Commons through our First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system. In May 2015, one quarter (24.4%) of votes went to the candidates and manifestos of the Green Party, the Liberal Democrats or UK Independence Party. But FPTP delivered a parliament in which these parties share ten seats (1.5% of 650 Commons seats). This cannot be said to be a parliament in which ​ ​ “everyone can have their voice heard”. On the contrary, it is a parliament from which the voices of 7.5 million voters are all but excluded. If our democracy is to grow in strength, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that every vote carries equal weight.

    UCD – Football and Study: by Brian King Friday, 17 April 2015 23:12 UCD – Football and Study: by Brian King My connection with UCD goes back to 1997/1998. Among the team of Jason Sherlock, Tony Mc Donnell, Robbie Mc Auley and co I was thrown. That team, for ‘the college’ enthusiasts who remember, included Ken Kilmurray, Ciarán Kavanagh, Mick O’Byrne, Robbie Dunne, Mick O’Donnell, Eoin Bennis, John Martin, Séamus Kelly, Wayne Fitzgerald, Clive Delaney, Ciarán Martyn. As well as being with the players, I remember the presence ofDr.TonyO’Neill, Theo Dunne, Alan O’Neill and kit man Larry Quinn. I would have been 11 and 12 at this time and it was with huge excitement I would be brought by my father Noel to the training sessions and to almost all of the match days. I had special access as a 12 year old, eager to collect the footballs, get the water for the lads and just delighted to be around, practicing free kicks on the hallowed Belfield Park pitch before and after games. 1 / 5 UCD – Football and Study: by Brian King Friday, 17 April 2015 23:12 That period was special for me, the group treated me extremely well, I remember been given a pair of Dublin GAA shorts by Jason Sherlock on one occasion travelling on the team bus to an away game. I remember the long trip to Turner’s Cross which resulted in a 2-1 win. I also remember a miserable day losing 5-1 in Belfield. I remember the talent of the players, Ken Kilmurray’s strength, skill and ability, Ciáran Martyn’s midfield presence, runs and knack of scoring, Mick O’Byrne threat, formidable Séamus Kelly in goal and Clive Delaney in defence.
