Emine Sucu usually trains in Bradford, but donned her ice skates and head guard to practice on Horbury Bridge Cricket Club's ground near Wakefield.
She told ITV News: "It's good because I only live two minutes away and I don't have to travel to Bradford.
Temperatures dropped as low as minus 10 in West Yorkshire over the past week and flooding of the cricket ground followed by low overnight temperatures gave Emine her chance to play.

A town’s former medical centre has been put up for sale after plans to demolish it to build flats were rejected
Wakefield Council’s planning committed rejected proposals to flatten the old Horbury Health Centre to build 12 homes in October 2023
were not in keeping with surrounding properties
Committee members also said the scheme would be overbearing to residents and was an over-development of the site
The applicant appealed the decision to the Planning Inspector but it was dismissed in August last year
A planning inspector’s decision report said: “The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area
and lead to less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset.”
has since been put up for sale with offers in the region of £495,000
A commercial property agent’s sales information describes the site as “in need of significant repair.”
It said: “The property offers excellent development potential which may include either a residential conversion or alternatively a commercial use such as place of education
subject to gaining the necessary planning permission
“Interested parties should be aware that this site is in a state of disrepair and therefore should not attempt to enter the site without prior permission
“The property currently has architect drawings for two apartment blocks which can be made available to a potential buyer
“The site is being sold without residential planning permission.”
Councillors rejected the housing plans after a plea from Horbury Civic Society at a meeting at Wakefield Town Hall
the society’s chair of trustees of Horbury Civic Society
said at the time: “The civic society welcomes good development and we are certainly in favour of development of site of the old health care
“It is currently an eyesore and a blot on the high street landscape
“But what is proposed today is not good development
It is on the high street immediately bordering a conservation area
which is badly lacking in architectural quality
“It falls far short of the quality we expect
“We expect our council to support our efforts to protect our heritage.”
a property agent representing the applicant
told committee members the development would improve the derelict site and would allow people to get on the property ladder
Coun Samantha Havery asked Mr Lee if the number of properties could be reduced from 12 to three or four
He replied: “Twelve works from a commercial point of view
Councillors voted unanimously in favour of rejecting the scheme
Coun Steve Tulley said “Where does it as stop
“The only way you could support this application if you are prepared to reduce it by at least 50 per cent.”

At Hope & Glory Sportswear we provide three measurements for all our garments (see illustrations above)
Actual chest width: This is the the measurement across the front of the shirt from just underneath the armpit when laid flat
Actual chest size: This refers to the actual measurement around the garment just underneath the armpit itself when worn – not your chest size
Chest to fit size: This refers to the size of the shirt wearers chest
Measuring Your Ideal “Actual Chest Width”.Find one of your existing t shirts or football shirts that know fits as you like and measure it from armpit to armpit
This is what we refer to as the ‘actual chest width’ of our garments
How to Measure Your Chest.To measure your chest size
run a fabric tape measure under your arms and fit it around the fullest part of your chest
It’s important to have the tape measure parallel to the ground
sagging or twisted which distorts the measurement.Take note of the measurement at the point where the tape crosses
Men.If you want your shirt to be a tight fit then you should select the actual garment chest size that would be 5cm (2″) bigger than your chest size
If you want your shirt to be a loose fit then you should select the actual garment chest size that would be 10cm (4″) bigger than your chest size
PRO-FIT Men.Our Pro-Fit shirts are designed to be a “slim fit” garment
They are much slimmer fitting in all areas
Ladies.Our ladies shirts are all shaped for a ‘ladies fit’ – this means they taper slightly around you mid section to give a comfortable fit around the chest
We advise you select the actual garment chest size that is 8cm (3″) bigger than your chest size
All ladies differ – the fit will vary depending on your preference
Junior.We advise juniors select the actual garment chest size that is around 8-10cm(3-4″) bigger than the child’s chest size for a comfortable fit

CHORLEY FC are delighted to confirm that George Horbury has signed on with the Magpies following his recent departure from Harrogate Town
Having come through the youth ranks at Harrogate Town
George signed a professional contract with his hometown club in June 2022
The 20-year old made two competitive appearances for the Sulphurites before spending time out on loan at Marske United
then moving on to a spell at Vanarama National League North rivals
George spent the second-half of the 2023/24 season with the Magpies
making 17 appearances in all - including a stellar
Man of the Match display against Solihull Moors in the FA Trophy
had the following to say upon completion of the deal
"First and foremost I'm delighted to have secured the services of George on a permanent basis
it was a no brainer to bring him in after he was let go by Harrogate
a lot of supporters will have seen a bit of what George can bring to our squad but equally
I think he has a lot more to offer and he's got an awful lot of potential as a player
George has come in to us fitter and stronger than he was last season
a lot of hard work has been put in during the off-season and he's only going to get better with us."
All smiles from George having signed permanently with the Magpies (David Airey)
You can watch George's interview with the club on our official YouTube channel, HERE.
Congratulations George and welcome back to Chorley Football Club
we can't wait to see you out on the pitch in the famous black and white stripes
Imperial’s Professor Tim Horbury and Helen O'Brien are celebrating the impact of the Solar Orbiter as they mark five years since it first launched
Solar Orbiter is a European Space Agency decade-long mission sent to study the Sun and its effects on the solar system
Tim and Helen are part of the Imperial College London team which designed and built the Orbiter's magnetometer instrument, one of ten instruments on board this complex laboratory. Tim, from the Department of Physics
is the Principal Investigator and Helen is an engineer and Senior Instrument Manager
Tim - "Solar Orbiter has four big jobs: to find out how the Sun makes the solar wind that flows out into deep space; to find out how it accelerates particles to very high speeds; to show us how the solar wind can affect our lives on Earth; and lastly
"We’re making great progress on lots of these: I personally think that we’re very close to answering the first question
with the discovery of really short jets called “switchbacks” that help to push the wind away from the Sun and make it so fast
We’re also using some of the new instruments to show how shock waves in space accelerate the particles and answering questions that we’ve had for decades
And we’re using Solar Orbiter’s real-time measurements to give us more warning of big auroras than we’ve ever been able to do before
we need to wait until we get a good look at the Sun’s poles and that’s coming very soon – stay tuned!"
The vast volume of data that Solar Orbiter has collected and sent back to Earth over the past five years has resulted in at least one scientific paper a week being published
there are so many being published that it’s almost impossible for us to keep track of them all
I attend conferences where almost every paper being discussed has drawn on Solar Orbiter data in some way
It’s particularly satisfying to see new science being generated from our data that investigates aspects of space science that I hadn’t even thought about
I’m immensely proud that Solar Orbiter has become such a cornerstone of the international solar physics research community."
Helen – "Proving that we can design and produce an instrument this complicated that is still working perfectly after five years of continuous service is an incredible feat of engineering
I love being one of the first to know about our bit of the space environment
The solar wind we measure at the spacecraft is on its way out into the wider solar system – at some points of the orbit
we measure the wind that is on a collision course with Earth
such as those that caused the recent Aurora seen throughout the UK
we are on the other side of the Sun to Earth
so we can see what is heading out to the other side of the solar system
As we send astronauts further away from Earth
we need to know what is going on further afield – there are times when we can predict the space weather on Mars
"It’s great to be part of a big team of Sun 'babysitters'
Sun-sitters so to speak - seeing what sort of mood the Sun is in
and whether it is going to impact our systems here on Earth or other space assets in the wider solar system."
Tim – "The times when Solar Orbiter and its companion, NASA's Parker Solar Probe, align with each other are very exciting because it gives us a unique opportunity to measure the same solar wind coming from the Sun at two different distances
This means that for the first time we can see how it evolves as it flows out into interplanetary space and then arrives at the Earth
This gives us a key insight into activity such as solar weather patterns
It’s moments and achievements like these that mean we’re getting closer than ever before to answering some of the biggest space physics questions."
Helen – "The simple fact that Solar Orbiter is working 24 hours a day
exposed to intense cold and bombarded with energetic particles is challenging
It’s a very different way of working compared to working with instruments in a lab here at Imperial that can be inspected with our own eyes and switched off and left every Friday afternoon
We can never forget that the Solar Orbiter is up there working hard for us
and there’s a very strong emotional pull that makes us want to check in on it every day and often several times a day
"Some of the most nerve-wracking times are instrument reboots or upgrades
we updated our software to include a new data compression algorithm: this was done from 24 million km away. Change is always scary: have we thought of and tested every possible scenario
and we can now get three times as much data down as before – which is great for the science
but any problem would have lost a lot of data
you must be sure it's going to work."
Helen – "Five years is a long time for a project like this to run continuously
and this is after over a decade spent designing and building multiple prototypes before we were ready to launch
One of the benefits of such a long project timeline is that we’ve been able to recruit many scientists and engineers at the beginning of their career and give them a strong foundation in the skills and experience needed for this type of research
They’ve since gone back out into the wider space sector to pursue their next role building and operating space hardware
from Mars Rovers to communications satellites
Solar Orbiter has had a direct positive impact on the wider UK space industry and economy
Helen – "2025 is a big year of engineering challenges for Solar Orbiter: we have our closest flyby of Venus
then we race towards the Sun for another close pass in March
Our orbit allows us to co-rotate with the Sun’s surface at this close distance - so we get to look at a particular part of the Sun for several days
and measure the solar wind it produces from close up – the view from Earth is of the Sun rotating beneath us
the orbit takes us around the back of the Sun
which means we will not be able to communicate with the spacecraft for 24 days – this is by far the longest time we have let the spacecraft fend for itself
The onboard software has lots of fail-safe functions
so it knows what to do if anything happens
but it is still scary to know our instrument will be out there
bravely measuring the magnetic field without any input from us at all."
Tim – "In only a few days’ time
Solar Orbiter will get closer to Venus than ever before
reaching only a few hundred kilometres from its surface
That’s closer to Venus than the International Space Station is above Earth
This is known as a ‘gravity assist manoeuvre’ and the reason we do these flybys is because they allow us to adjust spacecraft’s trajectory. This Venus flyby will increase the inclination of the spacecraft’s orbit from the Earth’s – about 7 degrees – to around 17 degrees meaning we will be able to see much more of the solar poles
we will be able to take the highest latitude photo of a solar pole ever taken
which will be a fantastic achievement - it’s like we’re starting a whole new space mission
increasing our latitude coverage even more

Iya Patarkatsishvili won a court battle over sale of £32m Holland Park mansion over serious moth infestation
News | London
The daughter of a Georgian billionaire and her husband who bought a £32m London mansion have won back most of their money after it was found to be infested with moths
Iya Patarkatsishvili and Dr Yevhen Hunyak bought the seven-bedroom Horbury Villa in Notting Hill in May 2019
But days after the couple moved in, they noticed a problem with clothes moths, which had “caused damage to expensive clothing,” the High Court was told
They claimed this was due to moths infesting the home’s insulation
The couple had visited the property at least 11 times
with Dr Hunyak telling the court that moths were landing in their children’s toothbrushes
The couple claimed to be swatting around 100 moths a day at the infestation’s peak
in what was described as a “constant battle to kill and control moths.”
On Monday, High Court judge Mr Justice Fancourt ruled that seller Woodward-Fisher had not properly accounted for the state of the property during the sale when telling the couple that it had not had a problem with vermin
He said the seller had not tried to deliberately mislead the couple
but that he had “simply wanted to sell the house and move on”
and hoped the “problem had gone away” because he did not want the sale to fall through
Woodward-Fisher was ordered to reimburse the purchase price
minus £6m to recognise the couple’s use of the property

He was also told the pay the couple £4m in damages for works carried out to deal with the moths
reimbursed stamp duty and around £15,000 for damaged clothes
said they “hope the case will serve as a warning to unscrupulous property developers who might seek to take advantage of buyer beware to sell properties by concealing known defects.”
The court was told Woodward-Fisher previously bought the home in 2011 before extending it
Ms Patarkatsishvili is the daughter of Georgian businessman
who moved to the UK in 2000 after falling out of favour with the Russian president
He died of heart failure eight years later

Join our researchers as they install their instrument on NASA’s IMAP spacecraft
set to launch next year on a mission to study the solar wind
The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) spacecraft will observe and map the Sun’s heliosphere – the volume of space filled with particles streaming out from the Sun
known as the solar wind – and study how it interacts with the local galactic neighbourhood beyond
Imperial physicists have built a magnetometer (MAG) instrument for the mission
which will measure the interplanetary magnetic field around the spacecraft
MAG will identify interplanetary shocks and measure the waves and turbulence that scatter particles in the solar wind
The UK Space Agency has supported the UK development of the IMAP mission with £4.2 million
Professor Horbury talks us through some of the photos and videos that captured the excitement of seeing their instrument get into its final position – ready for space

“It feels very real when you’re in a room with it
The sensors were mounted on a boom – a long arm that will keep them away from the spacecraft when it’s in space
So the sensors are mounted and we’ve plugged them in
so everything is in its ‘final flight configuration’
the sensors were always in special ‘cans’ when switched on
to shield them from the Earth’s magnetic field
whenever they are switched on – which will be at various times in the next few months – they will measure the Earth’s and the spacecraft’s magnetic fields.”
“Many of these times will be when the spacecraft goes through several rigorous tests to check everything will survive launch and the space environment
electromagnetic and acoustic shocks.”
the spacecraft was turned on its side and the boom suspended by ropes
It was then ‘led’ out by an engineer
there is a loud ‘pop’ that’s a little disconcerting
but everything worked as it should.”

“We also saw the spacecraft spin many times
this is necessary to keep it stable and to ensure the particle sensors onboard get a full view of the sky
It also helps to calibrate the MAG sensors.”
Video credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins/Princeton
one of the MAG sensors will sit among the solar panels
As these will constantly face the Sun when out in space
the sensor could get extremely hot in its first few days
we want to turn the sensors on to measure the magnetic field before and after the boom unfolds
but if they’re too hot we can’t risk it
Once the spacecraft launches from Cape Canaveral in Florida
we’re going straight to an operations centre in Colorado to measure the temperatures and make that decision.”
“The team at APL have been outstanding
but they do it while allowing for setbacks that mean the overall project runs very smoothly.”
