KEEN GAME H a t CROSBY i


MARINE WIN AFTER HARD TUSSLE. GAME YIELDS SEVEN GIALS.


In thb first twenty minutes of the game


at Crosby, on Saturday, against Marine, Clitheroe were two goals up through Colberfand Ifhomas, They had the sun and a strong wind'in their favour,,.and they might well have increased theiiead had their finishing been better. As it was. Marine reduced the lead befoire the interval; Afterwards, the sun declined, but not the wind; Indeed, this had some­ thing to do with one of the goals that came the home team's way. T^ey not only eaiiallBed but established the lead— momeniartJy, Twp jnlnutes later Clith­ eroe were on level pegging, Marsden, who had resumed for eythpiop in goal after several weeks’ ;ab§§ne§,

■MS In Jeopardy, and»one was scarcely surprised when Marine scored a fourth time. But the home side, were favoured by extreme good fortune; more especially when the goalkeeper and a full back were prostrate on the ground and it looked a hundred to one on,a goal. But a shot struck the custodian, to be deflected for a corner. Marine defended valiantly to stop their opponents’ further progress, so that a hard and always Interesting game ended with honours for them—


wdnd carried the ball over. Following a short spell In mid-field, Clltheroe were back to force a corner on the right Allen, harried by the defence, was but Inches outside with a well-directed shot A free kick to Marine saw Marsden run yards from his charge to frustrate the Home left pair when Shaw had stumbled and fallen. Just afterwards he stopped long raking shot froin VeacoCk* and at the other end Emmett compelled Owen tb concede a corner,-which was put be- hbd. Off-side :lnfrbgempnts .spoiled good opportunities for Clltheroe, Marine rallied to the attack and after Marsden had negotiated b shot from the left, MqLoughlln struck the' side n e t .' Colbert —closely shadowed—got through to try his luck, but:' there- was not sufficient sting behind the shot, and Frostlck threw himself forwary to smother the ball - As 'fhomas dropped a 'fla g kick, right In frdnt of goal, the referee signalled the interval thus 'giving cause, for. dis­ satisfaction labongst the crowd who, generally, were a, sporty lot.

A, real thrill followed almost at once. 1|l^ade, “ backing” Roberts, saw the ball put over his head, ’with the result that the wingers closed In, and there was a regular melee in front of Marsden, who dgshed forward to scroop the ball up within a couple of feet of the post and fling It away.' He had hardly taken up position before It was back again and he turned It round for a corner. .'When smith went down arid Interlocked his legs wlth those of McLoughlln, a frqe kick was, inevitable, ! The ball travelled across goal and back to McLoughllri who made the scores level with a reriiarkable header. '


forwards were quick to get Into their , stride. The ball was swung.from left to right with Colbert closing In. Owen mls- klcked and fell, and Frostlck was op the grouhd also when Waters delivered a low shot-;too' low—as ,lt struck; the recrimr, bent ’keeper any was deflected for a corner. It was !vUe luck for the marks-, man. Straightway play was transferred- and In a determined .onslaught Veacock lobbed the ball over the heads of the players.


Straight from the centre, the Clltheroe It looked as If It was going


over the bar. instead, It passed Just underneath, much to Marsden’s dis­ comfiture.


And it was thus that Marine took th?


lead. But only for a couple of ffllfluteS or so. Clltheroe went out determinedly to square matters. The ball was riilddled for Colbert to-put I f on the rlghtl'and

SPORTS JOTTINGS


CANDID COMMENTS ON TOPICAL EVENTS. GOSSIP ABOUT PLAYERS.— By “ SNIPE.” '


of the game at , Crosby brought about Clltheroe’s third successive defeari-un- deservedly, so, for they gave a much Improved display all round, only to be beaten by the odd goal in seven: At: one period the chances of Marine losing their lOOfier cent. home, record appeared, more than likely.


A goal scored In the last five minutes i In their last-five matches Clltheroe


have obtained but two points* defeating Leyland Motors at home fay five goals to two and losing to Accrington Stanley Reserve, Chorley, Bangor City; i and Marine. Strange to say, In their previous five matches, they won four and lost'dne; Just the reverse. They defeated Oldham Athletlb Reserve, flacup. Prescot Cities ari'd 'Sbuthpbrt .Reserve, but were 'beaten fay south Liverpool, who;''last' Saturday, got but two goa^ against five by Bangor.


Clltheroe’s decline—temporarily. It Is hoped-'-^has been' attributable' to weak­


ness In defence. No fewer than fourteen ills have been conceded In the last


three matches. This Ip only brie goamess than the jnargln against them Iri the-first ritae matehes; 'which, included a' defeat V7h'en they met South'Uverpopl.


At the beginning of the season Itj was


thought (that ;\ Clltheroe had a ; fairly pettled team.and thaffew changes would be necessary,' except In, case of Injury* Shaw arid Emmett,- have, appeared * - In every match,


qne.. In o th e j, departmerits several changes have been made. This season the club has called,upon 24 players.


(Allen has inlssed but : Thomas, at outslde-rlght, continues to


be:the chief goal sCorer; -He found the net twice at Crosby to make his score-14 for the season. ’ It will be recalled that he - performed the f‘ hat trlok ” : against Droyisden and Fleetwood, whilst against Gldham Athletjp Reserve he had the batlsfactiori of finding the net four times


., "Win or lose ” appears to be GUtheroe’s riiotto this season. They have only brawn qne match so' far - - against Rochdale Reserve' at Shaw Bridge ori' September 10th. On that occasion, late goals by Allen and Kitchen preserved an unbeaten home record.


' ;; - ■ , Supporters of the Marine have a high


estimation of the ability of Clifford Chatburn, Darwen's centre-forward, who gave a fine -display against them a fort­ night previous to Clltheroe’s visit.'Many also recalled his brlllant form, vrith Clitlltooe, and the fact that he accom­ plished the “ hat trick'” at Liverpool two seasons ago. Last season Clitheroe had the satisfaction of taking all four points from their encounters with Marine. They Non by the only goal scored away from home,, arid by four goals to one at Shaw Bridge.


' R. Martin, J. HaU 1 I A comparlsori with last year’s record at


this time of the year is Interesting. This seasofi Clltfierpe have secured 19 'points froiri their 16 league games arid have also lost to Leyland Motors In the Comblna-


. tlon Cup competition. Last season'they had 17 points to their credit from 16 league games, but improved to'such an extent as to finish rUnners-up to| South Liverpool, the champion^. ThereTs no reason why they should not repeat last year’s performance Mth a bit more luck and a more rigid defence. This vras the weakness last Saturday.
