Image
 Leigh Leopards 20-22 Salford Red Devils 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 in partnership with @homestogether . ⏱️ #BeTheRoar pic.twitter.com/dqX3qxnnSo — Leigh Leopards (@LeighLeopardsRL) April 8, 2023 There was a memorable match between two of Greater Manchester's Super League teams. In the baking sunshine, Salford Red Devils registered a Betfred Super League Rivals Round victory against Leigh Leopards. Easter is always a highlight of the rugby league calendar. Today’s encounter would normally be the first of two Super League fixtures this weekend, but a change of schedule means we’ve now got five days to reset and prepare for the visit of Castleford Tigers next Thursday. It was clear quite early on that Salford was intent on playing quick and our first set gained massive metres via the ruck speed of Andy Ackers. After both sides traded sets, a dropped ball on halfway allowed Leigh an opportunity to build their first meaningful attack. Lachlan Lam received the ball around 30 metres out...

GMP News: Operation Vulcan

Image
Operation Vulcan has repurposed and recycled over 300 tonnes of counterfeit items Operation Vulcan was implemented in November 2022 to crack down on the criminality in the area which has blighted the communities of Cheetham Hill and Strangeways for decades. This has exposed children to serious violence and subjecting honest business owners to extortion. The counterfeit shops are just the tip of the iceberg with many customers perceiving these bargains as a victimless crime. Unfortunately, these cash-only businesses have resulted in hundreds of thousands of pounds being funnelled into the criminal market, funding the drug trade, firearms, exploitation, and money laundering. Six months on, and police have shut down over 100 counterfeit shops. However the most asked question is: ‘Where does all this stuff go?’ A top priority for Operation Vulcan was to minimise waste and make sure the counterfeit items could be put to better use. Working with a specialist company, Lighthouse Security,...
