table after a scintillating 1-1 draw between the division’s top two sides at the KBO Stadium on Saturday afternoon The Brickmakers now have four matches left to hold on and secure the Wessex League Division One title and gain promotion Harry McGrath had given Matt Maybury’s side the advantage with his first goal since the end of January but Frimley Green hit back towards the end through Nicholas Ciardini “It’s a point that we have to be satisfied with” “I thought the team worked their socks off but I can’t remember them having a clear chance apart from the goal whereas I thought we had two or three really good chances and now full focus moves to the Alresford game next week “A special mention to the fans that travelled and it was great to see so many of our fans with us.” Many praised the game on social media afterwards The Brickmakers thought they had the lead when McGrath put the ball in the net following a free kick McGrath did not have to wait much longer to celebrate as an intricate one-two with Barney Stone allowed him to slot past the goalkeeper one-on-one after the half-hour mark New Milton keeper Ollie Bull was called into action shortly afterwards The ball ricocheted around the box before a snapshot was well saved by New Milton’s number one Elliott Pearce-Eavis was sent to the sin bin before half-time giving Frimley Green a ten-minute numerical advantage but the home side failed to pounce on the Brickmaker’s reduced numbers Both defences were difficult to break in the second half and it took until the 75th minute for another goal to arrive A deep cross from the right wing found Nicholas Ciardini at the back post who expertly headed the ball back across Bull and into the bottom corner becoming an end-to-end thriller without the cutting edge from both teams to find a winning goal Brad Snelling made a chance of his own by intercepting the ball and curling it onto the foot of the post from outside the area and Luca Lane thought he may have won it with one of the last kicks of the game The young forward fired low across goal after being played in one-on-one but the linesman’s flag – although very late – was raised after the ball trickled wide of the Frimley Green goalkeeper’s far post New Milton travel to third-placed Alresford Town next weekend in what is being billed as the season’s biggest game regarding the promotion race A win for the home side would open the door while three points for Maybury and his team would take them to within an inch of glory Lymington Town shocked second-placed Frimley Green thanks to a Connor Lopez hat-trick on Saturday Lymington had come into the match with a three-game winless streak but they deserved to beat their high-flying visitors said: “I’m proud of the team’s performance Winning 4-3 against a strong Frimley Green side is a testament to the hard work and determination of our players and everything we have been working on at training and for weeks “Each member of the squad showed grit and commitment and worked really hard for each other Some of our attacking passing football was great to watch everyone is talking about the goals that Connor [Lopez] is scoring he has been great and certainly knows where the net is our support play and balls into the box by our midfielders Aaron Christie and Ben Morris was excellent.” and Lopez terrorised the visitor’s defence right away The in-form man got his head on the ball first and found the back of the net via a deflection off the defender after five minutes but Aaron Christie found the back of the net for Lymington after 26 minutes Frimley had a lifeline in the form of a penalty Keeper Nico Trojanowski dove the right way and saved with a strong palm but he could do nothing to stop the follow-up effort Victor King struck in the 73rd minute to set up a nervy finish Buckland added: “Looking ahead to next week we need to focus on tightening our defensive tactics ensuring we maintain concentration throughout the full 90 minutes “Our next game against Cove will be a challenge as they are just above us so a win away would be great to close the gap on all the teams above us “The support from our fans at the Sports Ground has been tremendous and plays a vital role in driving the lads forward The players are determined to build on today’s success as we move deeper into the season and up to Christmas.”

She lived her life with a clear sense of purpose The appointment of Major-General John Smyth to the command of the Royal Artillery at Aldershot in 1867 represented a major promotion allowing his wife Emma Struth and their eight children to move into a large house with servants at nearby Frimley Green in Surrey The picturesque village located about 50 kilometres south-west of London was a model of prim upper-class respectability Or at least it was until the Smyths moved in Their fourth child Ethel had a penchant for riding the local streets on her bicycle she was observed writing a letter while doing so The Smyth family themselves called her their "Stormy Petrel" and the Major-General himself was outraged by what he regarded as her preposterous ambition to become a composer He sent her off to boarding school as soon as possible Young Smyth had her future all planned out She had no intention of undertaking her advanced musical training in England One of her governesses in Frimley Green had been a graduate of the legendary Leipzig Conservatorium and so Smyth would accept no substitutes Her father preferred the latter option but eventually his daughter prevailed Smyth relocated to Leipzig where the great names in classical music tended to congregate Tchaikovsky encouraged her to pursue studies in orchestration for seven years she became a de facto member of the Herzogenberg household whose matriarch Elisabeth ("Lisl") was an intimate friend and long-time muse of Johannes Brahms Not that Smyth was overwhelmed by such illustrious company Her sheepdog Marco once ran amok during one of Brahms’ rehearsals (much to Brahms’ delight) and Smyth herself found her classes at the Conservatorium to be so stuck in the past that she quit almost immediately were premiered during her seven years in Leipzig Smyth returned to Frimley Green in 1885 aged 27 now an acclaimed composer with a spectacular list of professional contacts These soon increased when she was introduced to the former Empress of France having moved to England following the overthrow of the Second Empire and the death of her husband Emperor Napoleon III Di Montijo had a similarly adventurous spirit and the two became close friends Di Montijo invited Smyth to accompany her on a courtesy-visit to Balmoral The Queen was impressed and with her seal of approval and Di Montijo’s financial backing in 1893 the Mass was performed at Royal Albert Hall and published soon afterwards followed four years later in Berlin and was then re-produced at the Royal Opera House But the making of her operatic career occurred in 1906 when her third opera proved triumphant at its premiere in Leipzig Smyth had refused to allow the producers to make any cuts she removed all the scores and parts from the theatre until curtain time The Wreckers was presented at Her Majesty’s Theatre in 1909 and then in the following year the Royal Opera House also presented it in a production conducted by Bruno Walter and Thomas Beecham Smyth was now famous both in her home country and abroad and would remain there for the rest of her life writing a further three operas including the hugely popular The Boatswain’s Mate the Women’s Suffrage movement was at its height She and the celebrated suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst became close-confidantes and Smyth wrote the movement’s anthem March of the Women Britain’s Secretary of State for the Colonies made a condescending remark about the women’s emancipation movement so Smyth and Emmeline went to his residence and threw a rock through his window Smyth was charged and sentenced to two months in Holloway Prison who found the inmates marching and singing and she was released after three weeks and a decade later became Dame Ethel Smyth Smyth went deaf (she attended but couldn’t hear her 75th birthday concert) so she turned her attention to writing her memoirs from which the following passage perhaps best sums up not just her life but her style too: "Because I have conducted my own operas and love sheep-dogs; because I generally dress in tweeds have even conducted them; because I was a militant suffragette and seized a chance of beating time to ‘The March of the Women’ from the window of my cell in Holloway Prison with a tooth-brush; because I have written books and don't always make sure that my hat is on straight; for these and other equally pertinent reasons THE grand opening of the new Frimley Green Cycle shop display at the Rural Life Centre has been hailed “a big success”. On the evening of Thursday, May 18, the new Mayor of Farnham, Mike Hodge, cut the ribbon of the new Deeks cycle shop display. This family business was a long-standing part of the Frimley Green community. It was originally established as a blacksmith and farrier business in 1889, but as bicycles became increasingly popular, the Deeks family saw an opportunity to expand their business to include the sale and repair of bicycles and decided to build this shop and workshop in 1912. Several years later, as the number of cars increased, the family once again saw an opportunity to expand the business to include the repair and hire of cars. In fact, Deeks Cycle Shop was the first business in the local area to sell petrol. The business ceased trading in 2002 when Victor Deeks, the last of the family to be involved in the business, retired, although he did continue to repair the odd puncture for friends and family until his death in 2007. In 2011, nearly 100 years after the building was first erected in Frimley Green, Vic’s daughters Judith Pennell and Ann Saunders generously donated the building and its contents to the Rural Life Centre. In 2014, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Farnham Building Preservation Trust Ltd., and the Elstead Building Company, the Rural Life Centre was able to start work on moving the cycle shop premises to its new home at the museum of country life in Tilford. After three years of hard work, the opening was attended by over 90 people despite the wet weather. The number of visitors reflects what the project has meant to so many people whether it be the people who have been involved in the project, friends and past residents of Frimley Green or members of the Deeks family who are still very much involved. Judith now comes to the museum every year to put the Christmas decorations in the shop, just as she had as a young child. Over the past three years, visitors to the Rural Life Centre have had the opportunity to talk to the volunteers and watch the project as it developed. “We are very grateful to Vic’s daughters Judith and Ann, not only for their donation to the museum but also for their support during the whole process, to the Heritage Lottery Fund without whose support the project could not have a happened and to the volunteers whose time and commitment to the project is unparalleled. “Norman Emblow, who managed the project, with the support of his wife Margaret and his team of volunteers, have accomplished something incredible and is a testament to their hard work and commitment. “The Frimley Green Cycle Shop is already much loved by visitors and people involved with the museum alike. The attention to detail that has gone into the display is outstanding whether it be the smell of the workshop, the indents in the bricks from 100 years of doors opening and closing, to the hot cross bun that hangs in the workshop to bring good luck,” said Emma Midgley, director of the Rural Life Centre. • On Thursday, August 10. Norman will be giving a talk ’From Bikes to Buicks’ as part of the series of monthly talks at the museum. Norman will be talking about the project and how it relates to the history of transport, including the invention of cycles, motorcycles and cars and their influence on society. The talk starts at 7.30pm and tickets are available on the door.
