LANCASTER FIGHT FOR A DRAW AT CLITHEROE.


A MISSED PENALTY.


to work an opening for his colleagues, lie was unceremoniously brought down and many free kick* 'were* given against Lan­ caster for fouls in the closing stages. Tt must be admitted that Clithoroo never rote to the heights they did the previous week at Lancaster, hut at the same time they gave quite a good display and with a bit of luck would have won.

banded in front of goal. Dawson was again conspicuous and completely deceived Gardiner, Allen again upsetting the move­ ment bv a technical foul. The equalising goal had obviously upset Lancaster who fell off considerably only the backs playing any thing like the vigorous game which charac­ terised the opening stages. Following a scramble near the corner a surprise shot by Akers went a yard wide. Millar centred behind goal from .a difficult angle and Bell saved brilliantly from a corner at the other end. Chathurn was robbed in dashing through, the Lancaster backs giving him few chances. Tackled just

Play was transferred quickly from end to end, but Lancaster at this stage were the more dangerous, swing­ ing the ball about with real judgment, Clitheroe were awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area and Chntburn was inches wide with a terrific shot. Glorious combination down the right wing led to goal for Lancaster, Rhodes swiftly heading through from Millar’s pass after 13 minutes. Another free kick for Clitheroe in a similar position was cleared. Grand work by Aden and Dawson took the ball up and Chatbnrn made no mistake with the centre

on Saturday at the Shaw Bridge ground for the heavy defeat Clitheroe inllicted upon them the previous week, although they forced a draw. As was generally expected, a thrilling game resulted from "the second meeting of these teams and the spectators were kept on tenterhooks the whole ninety minutes. After twice being in arrears, Clitheroe got on level terms and there was a thrilling climax when Clitheroe were awarded a penalty which Chatham failed to ' convert. The penalty award followed an amazing scene in the Lancaster goal- month after a corner kick taken by Hors- field. ^ The ball was dropping under tlio bar with the goalkeeper helpless when a Lancaster player fisted the hall over. im­ mediately the referee awarded a penalty, but the Lancaster players surged round him protesting strenuously and it was some little time before order could be restored. It was a big disappointment to Clitheroe’s supporters that Chatburn; who was probably ■upset by the tactics of the Lancaster players, tailed to score. On the balance of play a draw was a fair result, although Clitheroe exerted strong pressure in the closing stages and were unfortunate in not getting at least one penalty in the first half when two players were‘badly brought down at close quarters. It was evident from the outset that Lancaster were not going to surrender without a fierce struggle and no little amount of vigour was infused into their play. "When Clitheroe were gaining the upper hand in the closing stages, Lancaster resisted with every ounce of effort they possessed and after the ball bad been out of plav, certain players did not hesitate to waste as much time as they could. In addition, on several occasions when a Clitheroc player had dribbled neatly

Millar was the most dangerous attacker on account of his fine turn of speed and ho got plenty of support. McKcnnnn led the line well and Rhodes was an improvement on Parker tho previous week. Not one player spared lumself and Lancaster did


their best to lower Clitheroe’s colours. Tho team as a whole could he congratulated on the accuracy of its passing and the for­ wards on their fine open movements, hut the players detracted from the merit of their exhibition by tlicir unsportsmanlike tactics in the closing stages.

Vet in spite of these unwelcome attentions, Clintburn proved himself a dangerous leader and had not the best of luck with some capital scor­ ing efforts. Neither Dawson nor Horsficld got the support they were entitled to and in consequence were not often in the lime­ light. If Clitheroc were weak at all it was in the inside positions. Allen had complete off day and was robbed almost every time be tried to stick to tho ball, and Milner spoilt many promising move­ ments by handling the ball to get it under control.

In the first half, Simpson made a number of minor blunders and kicked erratically, but he improved and was Inter a steady and reliable partner for Lonsdale, who was again in good form and did much useful work. The half-backs were good, although Hall’s effectiveness was re­ duced by n leg injury in the second half of the game.

After tho interval, Caldcrstones made big efforts to get on level terms, but tboir forwards missed some good chances. The climax earn© when Richardson failed to score with a penalty kick. A defensive error gave Lnnenstor a fourth goal when Caldcrstoues were trying hard to make up lost ground and this goal settled the issue. The teams were as follows:


Crosbic; Ward, Masters; Cornthwaitc, Atkinson, Metcalfe; Swift, ShuttleworUi, Stevenson, Bowker and Taylor.

Calderstones for­ wards were ineffective near goal, Haydock and Richardson missing good chances. Stevenson gave Lancaster the lead after 25 minutes when he diverted a centre from Swift past Edwards. After 35 minutes, a misunderstanding between Henderson and T.^ Edwards, which resulted in both players going for the ball and colliding, let iu Stevenson who scored a second goal very easily.
