LINCASHIRE COMBINATION. KEEN STRUGGLE


CLITHEROE’S H E C T IC ENCOUNTER W IT H SOUTHPORT.


FORWARDS THWARTED.


rpHE visit of Southport Reserve to Shaw Bridge, on ^ tu rd ay , provided the


best game which has been seen oii During , the whole {ninety [minutes the


the Clitherbe ground this season. - rill


exchanges were| contested with a zest and determlnatiqn that' was exfeeptlonal, so


that the spectators thoroughly enjoyed a rousing contest True, Clitheroe had to be coritent with a division of the spoils, hut tliat was virtually because, through­ out the second half they were minus the Inside left (Bradshaw) who had to retire owing; to an Injury. I But before this un^ toward mishap happened, thdy had failed to profit froii I several easy; chances, aS also from a.penalty.


,


, A draw of oiie goal each was not a true reflex of the g:ame. Clitheroe had far more of^ the play in the first half, and even with ten . men they more than


held their ofvn. I ; I A troublesome 'wind played' curious


■ thing that terided to marj {complete en­ joyment was ari Incllnatiotf by the vlsitr; ' ing defence to be over vigorous. I.


' pranks with tlie bail at times, yet there was some clever football,] in patches. Excitement was rarely lacking. . The one


STERLING STRUGGLE. I In a hard fought ganie;j the defences


generally; were on top, cfiiefly bPeausej forwards were Inclined tb hang on to the[ ball too much at close quarters. Good;


straight shooting could, have made all thp difference. ; Considering toat they hajf but four forwards In half the game, ther^ were lapses on the part of the home team, that could he overlooked. [ On the other hand. Southport, who were never able tej toke the initiative, seemec^ to resent their


Opponent’s superior team yiork, and there wereia.few unpleasant Incidents in con-| sequence, especially when] Bradshaw was hurt:In a tussle with Dutton, who was


b i ......................


afterwards the object of barracking. | r When Southport took the lead in the secoiid half, it was {all agjilnst the run oi play; and home supporters were all th( more chagrined because jthe goal, was sc obviously offside. In this respect, It maj he said that the referee's decisions were frequently disapproved of. He allowed too much latitude, {particularly In


to tackling. ; There


packed were cheers when Chatbur^i


equalised with a great penalty drivs, and the subsequent exchanges weke nnrireil with! incident] Clitheroe mak-al ing valiant, if vain, .efforts to win,


in iden{t| M ' ' ' chJinces. , ISSED It was Interesting to note that Soutl-


port, profiting'by expedience in recei.t years, set Clitheroe to defend the Shav Bridge end on winning the toss. Usually the home team are habpler when that position Is reversed. In{ the first minute a wide gap was discovered in-:the. visito's defence, and there were poans when Kitr Chen blazed yards wide jaf the mark. H ,s partner, Bradshaw, was oftentimes in tile picture v/ito sbme dainty passes; 0 ’Ne«’ was damaged when he ran yards out baulk Colclough, oyer |Whoin;“ d^geri_'_’ -was writ large: Once he hopked the bajll, In brllllantljc; but O’Neill flur® himsrff{ at full length to make to'e best save of tt e{ game. When Kitchen' failed to trap tl|e ball he missed a simplq chance to scoreJ Bradshaw was unfodtuhate to see too well directed shots countered by Jones whose confldehce Inspired his colleague q. Possessing'a good understanding wlt^


Thomas, Chatburn strove gallantly, o penetrate the defence.; Once his snpt travelled clean across"the goalmouth, ar d on another occasion Jdr.es tipped the bsU over in brllllant' style. The home llrie:


seemed able to do anything but find th net, and It ■was the crowning blqw wht: Jones saved' a penalty kick taken,by Tajrlor. This, by the vfay, was awarded lor a foul.on Thomas by Dutton.


STRONG ASSAULTS.


' 'The introduction of al nbw ball was tl slgnril for a 1 series of strong assaults ' Southport, In the coursb of which O’Neill iwas fully extended. Near the Interval, : Bradshaw skimmed the; bar ■when shob, ; Ing hurriedly' to avoid a tackle by Diittm Both players went down.i and Bradshsw had';to be assisted'from the field, suffer­ ing a damaged apkle, jAnd that resulted In his exit frpm^the game; which, atjhaljf-
