The post of sports legacy co-ordinator is a jointly funded one, driven by ng homes & supported by the Winning Scotland Foundation and Glasgow Life (Communities). The main aims are to increase participation in sport & physical activity, to increase connectivity between providers and partners and raise awareness of oppor-tunities in the community (and wider), linked to the Commonwealth Games.

to take up sport?

ng sports legacy has worked hard over the last 18 months and we have listened to the community and provided opportunities for all ages to get involved. There have been football coaching camps with local senior

wanted to get involved this week what

could they sign up for?

Currently there are Rugby sessions on Mon-

livered on a Tuesday, Football sessions for girls

on a Thursday over at Applecross centre with Glasgow Kayak Club & Basketball on Fridays at Springburn Leisure Centre. Storm Basket-ball also has club sessions on a Saturday. For details of all current activities everyone should check out our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ngsportslegacy.

Looking ahead what activities are

planned for the future in North Glasgow?

Well for starters we are continuing the swim-ming programme and training for more swim

tutors. We are developing a core bike pro-gramme for young ages. We are expanding the School of Hard Knocks employability programme. We are looking to develop table tennis through the local high school as well as maintaining existing opportunities. We are also in discussion with Athletics and

ty in the future.

What about the Commonwealth Games

and the Winning Scotland Foundation?

As well as all of that we hope to engage with people of all ages over a positive values programme for the ng homes area with our partners the Winning Scotland Foundation, linking up all the association’s work with the City Commonwealth Games Legacy Themes – showing that ng homes is committed to supporting the wider on-go-ing development of the local communities it serves, not just by providing homes, be-cause although that’s our core service we see ourselves as more than just a landlord.

DOUBLE DEALING IN THE CRIMINAL WORLD

BLOOD CITY, a new novel by ‘Scotland’s foremost true crime writer’ (The Scotsman), is a fast-paced thriller set in 1980, just as the heroin trade was beginning to boom in Glasgow.Skelton is already well known for his true crime books, notably Blood on the Thistle, Glas-

gow’s Black Heart and Frightener (with Lisa Brownlie). The latter is an investigation into the controversial Ice Cream Wars murder case.

The background of the novel – the explosion of the heroin trade in the early 80s – is based on a piece of Glasgow criminal folklore. Author Douglas Skelton said:

“There is a story that in the early 80s, a handful of top crooks in the city came together to form a cartel to help build the heroin trade. It grew from there.

“I’ve run with that idea, but the real story deals with a young guy called Davie McCall with a bad past and a bloody future – until he meets a girl. The question he asks himself is – can he

change? Can he push his past and his present out of the way to change his life?”

One of the well known causes of cancer is smoking. This October, the NHS are running their annual ‘Stoptober’ campaign where people are being encouraged to stop smoking for 28 days. Last year, they helped 160,000. There are loads of free materials and support to help you so why don’t you give it a try this year. Call the Smokeline for free on 0800 84 84 84 for a chat with one of the advisors. You never know, it could be the best decision you make.

Every year millions of pounds in welfare benefits go unclaimed. For a variety of reasons, people rightfully entitled to claim them don’t do so.

That means huge amounts of money are kept by the Government, rather than being directed to help vulnerable people and families pay essential household bills. You may even be able to get help if you’re working.

LOCAL experts are aiming to shape yet another generation of young Scottish goalkeepers. Shot Stoppers Academy has helped create future careers for over 87 junior and senior football signings in a 19-year period - the impressive list includes Scotland internationalist David Marshall - thanks to a forward-thinking and innovative coaching structure.Long before senior clubs had thought about working with boys’ under-10 years of age, Shot Stoppers were already organising Sunday coaching courses all over the country. Primary schools also asked for help to further boost their grassroots scheme. The success story shows no sign of ending just yet as Conor Cullen (16) proved this summer when he signed a two-year, full-time deal with Glasgow Celtic. Group Coach Stephen Bryceland can proudly claim to have fully developed and nurtured the raw potential of kid glove Cullen at Shot Stoppers.

Stephen revealed: “For the record, he came to us never having experienced any form of proper goalkeeping coaching. At the same time, we brought a young Falkirk-based lad called Sean Brown on board, and he finished up signing for Dundee United, and East Ender Rhys Murray was snapped up by Motherwell F.C. so that says a great deal about what we are doing at Shot Stoppers.” Conor Cullen, who was wanted by several professional clubs during his Academy stint and has played for Scotland at youth level, continues to keep in touch with his old coaching set-up. He admitted: “I will never forget what Shot Stoppers did for me, and during my return visits it has been great looking at how goalkeepers I worked alongside are not only progressing, but also watch new emerging talent. I am grateful to Shot Stoppers for allowing me access to their pre-season training sessions – following a request from Celtic

Academy goalkeeping coach Colin Meldrum - before I went on holiday.” Conor’s father, Mr Robert Cullen, a lifelong Partick Thistle supporter, said: “I can’t thank Shot Stoppers enough for their professional development of my son, and I have recommended them ever since to other people (parents and coaches). That is how highly I rate them. “Conor and I were absolutely buzzing when he signed the deal at Parkhead. His squad number is 91 - pity it wasn’t 71 because I would have had a field day with that one!” Meanwhile, 12 goalkeepers at Shot Stoppers have been celebrating numerous awards from last season and pre-season tournaments. The list includes Under-15 star Bradley Main, who was voted Tower Hearts’ Players’ Player of the Year, and then played a significant part in helping his new club, Jimmy Johnstone Academy, win the Glasgow City Cup last month.
