Night Time Economy Adviser for Greater Manchester, Sacha Lord
Greater Manchester s night-time economy chief Sacha Lord has lost his legal battle against the Government over reopening indoor pubs and restaurants.
The case, brought by Hugh Osmond, Founder of Punch Taverns, and Mr Lord, Founder of Parklife and The Warehouse Project, sought to challenge the decision to delay the reopening of indoor hospitality until May 17, arguing there is no justification or scientific basis for indoor hospitality to remain closed while other businesses such as non-essential retail have been permitted to resume trading.
Roughyeds win a thriller 16-12 Date published: 02 May 2021
Again, Oldham kept opponents scoreless in the second half
For the second home game in a row, an Oldham side that was full of verve, energy and self-belief kept opponents scoreless in the second half when beating Halifax Panthers 16-12 at Bower Fold.
In their last home game they scored 18 unanswered points after half-time to beat Swinton Lions 28-20.
This time, they trailed Fax 12-4 at the interval, but stormed back down the slope to win 16-12 with a winning try four minutes from the end by on-loan centre Jack Croft, goaled beautifully from wide out by full-back Callum Green, who had a blinder.
