:00:59. > :01:01.about alcohol addiction in West Yorkshire. Calderdale, which
:01:01. > :01:04.includes towns like Halifax, Brighouse and Hebden Bridge has the
:01:04. > :01:13.highest number of women in the region and the third-highest number
:01:13. > :01:16.of men admitted to hospital because they've drunk too much. 272 women
:01:16. > :01:22.spent at least one night in hospital in Calderdale last year
:01:22. > :01:25.because of excessive drinking. For men, the number rose to 529 - and
:01:25. > :01:31.bear in mind that these figures don't include people who were
:01:31. > :01:34.simply treated in casualty and then discharged. And the problem starts
:01:34. > :01:40.at an early age, with an average of 42 youngsters under the age of 18
:01:40. > :01:43.admitted each year because of alcohol problems. Our reporter
:01:43. > :01:52.Amanda Harper has been to meet one woman who started drinking at the
:01:52. > :01:58.age of 14. I would wake up in the morning and want a drink. I've
:01:58. > :02:06.always made sure I had a drink, whether under my pillow, at the
:02:06. > :02:11.side of my bed. I would make sure there was a drink close to me. It
:02:11. > :02:16.was to allow me to function that day. Clare was just 14 when she

:02:36. > :02:43.There is nothing left inside you. There is nothing left except pain
:02:43. > :02:51.and you don't want to fit any more so the easiest thing is to drink.
:02:51. > :02:55.That is how low I felt inside. I can understand why people say it is
:02:55. > :03:01.selfish but feeling the pain and your soul being taken, that is
:03:01. > :03:06.where I wanted to be. This story isn't unusual. Between 2009 and
:03:06. > :03:11.2010, in Calderdale alone, 200 and so the two women were admitted to
:03:11. > :03:19.hospital because of health problems directly related to alcohol. That
:03:19. > :03:23.is an average of 23 women among. Claire came here for help. This

:03:43. > :03:50.is amazing with the groups and the works that we do is that people
:03:50. > :03:55.identify with each other across roles. The centre is run by people
:03:55. > :04:00.who themselves have been affected by addiction. Courses run every
:04:00. > :04:05.week but most importantly, it is somewhere where someone will listen.
:04:05. > :04:11.Some believe once said to me that you live a life beyond your wildest

:08:46. > :08:50.is the main reason for the protests. What campaigners are worried about
:08:50. > :08:53.is that if the ticket barriers are installed, that public right-of-way

:11:20. > :11:23.problems for years but before a stay in hospital for a suspected
:11:23. > :11:28.broken knee, she could get out and about. Her family say they
:11:28. > :11:33.repeatedly told staff that her condition meant she should not be
:11:33. > :11:38.kept immobile and should seek advice from a specialist. We tried
:11:38. > :11:42.to tell them that had couldn't just lay in bed. I never expected, when
:11:42. > :11:50.I tried to get out, that her couldn't stand. That was quite a
:11:50. > :11:55.shock. I had been standing before so I expected to come at the same
:11:55. > :11:59.way. Her husband is disabled as well so full-time carers have to
:11:59. > :12:03.come in to help Sylvia to the commode and to bed. Her family also

:12:08. > :12:11.consultation when she was in hospital. We told them not to keep
:12:11. > :12:15.her bed-bound. We explained the muscular dystrophy. You can
:12:15. > :12:19.maintain the level of fitness you had but you cannot regain their
:12:19. > :12:25.level of fitness once this is lost. And we have been proved right. She
:12:25. > :12:30.is not on her feel now, she cannot go out of the house, she is vastly
:12:30. > :12:36.more disabled now than when she went in. She said the other day
:12:36. > :12:40.when asked about her life, it is over. Unfortunately, stories like
:12:40. > :12:45.these are far too common. The years -- these are rare conditions and

:14:14. > :14:21.go by, it looks like Doncaster Rovers will have a fight on their

:14:31. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:37.season? Four. It says here they are struggling to avoid relegation.
:14:37. > :14:47.There is nine months left. Is the training ground a pretty gloomy
:14:47. > :14:50.
:14:50. > :14:55.place? You might be a little worried. This is not gloomy. Sean
:14:55. > :14:59.O'Driscoll even let us do something most managers will not, watch parts
:14:59. > :15:04.of a proper training session. If league positions were based on
:15:04. > :15:07.enthusiasm, even for a seven-a-side against your mates, Doncaster
:15:07. > :15:17.Rovers would be top of the Championship table and not where
:15:17. > :15:18.
:15:18. > :15:23.they are. Look away now, fans. They are rock-bottom. Everybody does not
:15:23. > :15:29.walk around the place with their head in their hands. They want to
:15:29. > :15:38.play. They want to do well. All you can do is preach the right things.
:15:38. > :15:42.Another pleasant surprise is the sheer youthfulness of the captain.
:15:42. > :15:48.Captains have recently been getting injured a lot, and he is happy to
:15:48. > :15:51.take responsibility. We have put in some good performances and worked
:15:51. > :15:56.really hard and sometimes the output has not been as much as we
:15:56. > :16:04.wanted. The training has left an impact, and it definitely lifts our
:16:04. > :16:10.spirits. Doncaster Rovers's mission is as simple as you get, score more
:16:10. > :16:20.goals. They have only scored twice in six league matches. They need to
:16:20. > :16:22.
:16:22. > :16:27.win more. The Super League play- offs get under way, Leeds take on
:16:27. > :16:33.Hull. First it is the turn of Huddersfield. They will play
:16:33. > :16:41.Warrington. It is a difficult opener. Huddersfield had another
:16:41. > :16:45.strong season, and the coach says the side are confident they can win.
:16:45. > :16:50.We have played Warrington three times, we have had two victories
:16:51. > :16:58.and a loss. Now they feel as a club and a group we know what is
:16:58. > :17:00.required to beat Warrington. Now we will stay with rugby league.

:17:13. > :17:19.Featherstone. They lost in the final last year and will hope they

:17:24. > :17:29.made it. Johnny Bairstow has not had much time to prove he was right
:17:29. > :17:39.for the selectors, but he is making his full England debut for the game
:17:39. > :17:44.

:19:12. > :19:15.what about the younger lads? You were defeated narrowly. Possibly.
:19:15. > :19:25.It was an absolute inspiration to play against someone of that
:19:25. > :19:32.calibre. It is an absolute honour. Is it an honour because you got the
:19:32. > :19:39.only goal in the defeat? I just happen to be in the right place at
:19:39. > :19:49.the right time. I got one goal. It was not too bad. What was it like
:19:49. > :19:57.to play against him? He is pretty decent. He is a big inspiration. It
:19:57. > :20:02.was the teamwork that he created. It is a big inspiration. It is
:20:02. > :20:10.something you can believe in. It makes you want to strive to do
:20:10. > :20:16.better. Barry, these guys will not admit to idolising you, but clearly
:20:16. > :20:21.it means a lot to them. They told me the idolise me a minute to go.
:20:21. > :20:26.It is nice, this is my home club, I like coming back and helping do
:20:26. > :20:32.what I can for the school and the club. They helped me a lot.

:20:43. > :20:48.playing hockey. They have a good team. I do not think it was 15-1.
:20:48. > :20:55.Somebody has make us a picture of you at school. -- has given us a
:20:55. > :21:02.picture. Back then, could you believe you would be going to the
:21:03. > :21:08.Olympics? I do not think so. I never really looked too much ahead.
:21:08. > :21:15.It was just fun, I enjoyed playing hockey. Then I started playing for
:21:15. > :21:19.England and Great Britain. I did not dream of it. I took it in my
:21:19. > :21:26.stride and enjoyed playing hockey. As long as they enjoy themselves,
:21:26. > :21:32.they will go far. We hope you go as far as you think you can. Obviously
:21:32. > :21:39.we got the bronze medal in the Euros. Preparations start in
:21:39. > :21:47.earnest now. We are all behind you. I will let you into a little secret,

:21:54. > :21:58.already done it at cricket sort maybe we can. At church organ is a
