Emma Bamber: Horse trader avoids jail after delay in case
A horse dealer who fraudulently sold horses to people all over the UK has been given a suspended 18-month prison Bamber, 42, with an address at Bridge Street, Garstang in Preston, adamitted seven charges of fraud by false representation and one of engaging in misleading commercial offences were carried out on various dates between January and December at Antrim Crown Court, Judge Fiona Bagnall said Bamber "played a vital role" in a series of frauds and her actions "illustrates her capacity for extremely deviant and manipulative of behaviours". The judge said the delay in concluding the case justified suspending the sentence for two years. She said the offending was "a reasonably large scale operation" with the eight victims spread across the Bagnall said that in June 2018, police in the Limavady area of County Londonderry started receiving complaints naming an Emma Bamber from Glendra Sports Horses based in nearby Feeny as having committed numerous alleged fraud offences."Over the following weeks and months numerous complaints were made against the defendant," said the judge and the court heard that due too the size of the investigation and because "the victims of this offending are situated all over the British Isles, the investigation was dealt with by CID," Judge Bagnall the financial impact of each individual sale was not that significant, the impact on the victims was more than financial, the judge added."Some of the horses were being bought for novice riders and were clearly inappropriate for that role," said Judge Bagnall, adding that "it is fortunate that no one had been badly hurt through the actions of the defendant". The court was told the particulars of the offending revealed Bamber told one a victim a horse was "suitable for her grandchildren" when, in fact it, was an also claimed a horse she sold was an Irish sports horse when it was another occasion, Bamber claimed an animal called Bridie had "a full set of x-rays and five stage vetting" when it did not, and further claimed that Bridie was "an 'extremely talented show jumping horse and sound in all ways", when, in fact, it was also took deposits for horses she did not have and did not transport. Passing sentence, Judge Bagnall said it was clear that despite her claims that she was repeating information her bosses had told her, Bamber had not only "held herself out as knowing about horses, but also told lies after lies to clients in order to sell what were completely inappropriate horses to a susceptible purchasers"."This further reinforces my view that the defendant knew that what she was doing was misleading clients in order for them to purchase horses which were not as described, and further that at times were not being delivered after sale," said the judge.

Sale earn win over Falcons as both sides progress
Premiership Rugby Cup Sale (14) 19 Tries: McElroy, Rodd, Bamber Cons: Curtis 2 Newcastle (14) 17 Tries: Stuart, Stevenson Cons: Connon 2 Pens: Connon A last-minute try from Ben Bamber snatched a win for Sale Sharks against Newcastle Falcons as both sides progressed to the quarter-finals of the Premiership Rugby Cup. The hosts twice took the lead in the first half as tries from Tadgh McElroy and Bevan Rodd were replied to swiftly by Sam Stuart and Ben Stevenson as the teams went in level 14-14 at half-time. The first points of a stodgy second period came from a Brett Connon penalty in the 65th minute to put Newcastle ahead for the first time. But a period of late pressure resulted in Newcastle's Cam Neild being yellow-carded before Bamber crashed over for the decisive score. Newcastle's late defeat ended their 100% record in the pool stage but they gained the minimum one point required, courtesy of a losing bonus point, to finish as top seed in the quarter-finals, ensuring a home draw. Sale were heading out of the competition until Bamber's intervention but make it through as runners-up to the Falcons in Pool A, taking the final quarter-final spot away from Leicester Tigers. Sharks took the lead in the tenth minute when a penalty was kicked into the corner and the subsequent lineout drive was too much for Newcastle to handle as hooker McElroy crashed over and Tom Curtis added the conversion to make it 7-0. Falcons levelled things up four minutes later when Stuart finished off a fine move in the corner and Connon kicked the extras. The hosts chose to reinforce their scrum after only 30 minutes, introducing England international props Bevan Rodd and Asher Opoku-Fordjour for Ross Harrison and Patreece Bell. Seven-time capped Rodd made an immediate impact, taking a quick-tap penalty from five metres out and bursting through the Falcons defence. But again the lead didn't last long as five minutes before half-time winger Stevenson raced in down the left and Connon levelled it up at 14-14 at the break. The visitors applied the pressure early in the second half and after a series of penalties number eight Jean-Luc du Preez was yellow carded in the 50th minute but Falcons could not take advantage of the extra man in a scrappy second half. Connon's penalty 15 minutes from time looked to have won it for Newcastle but the sin-binning of ex-Sale player Neild, making his Falcons debut after a long-term injury, proved costly as Sale drove over with the final play of the match. The quarter-finals are due to be played between 28 February to 2 March. Sale: Davies; Reed, Nayacalevu, Bedlow, Wills; Curtis, Thomas; Harrison, McElroy, Bell, Bamber, Hill, Burrow, Dugdale, du Preez. Replacements: Longstaff, Opoku-Fordjour, Andrews, du Preez, Hanson, Addison, Carpenter, Rodd, Birch.
