2-0 vktoir -over New Brighton Reserves at Shaw

•Clitherbe kept the visitors penned! in their own half, for most of .the first half, In the 15 mimites before half-time, Rob­ inson ^Hatched two goals from

Failure No. 1 came in the


tenth minute when Upton, only a few tards from goal, passed to Thomas on the wing instead of takmgjah- Obvious opportunity for a first time shot.

QUrHEROE’S remarkable re­ covery, which was so" clearly


indlMted by their ; goal-rush against Prescot on‘Monday even­ ing, "has gained for them seven points out of a iiossible eight in little over a j fortnight—more points than they had previously collected all this year, Since the beginning of January, their only victories h ^ been against South-,i port and Netherfleld, and. they bad drawn with Leyland Motors and Bacup.


i The happy turn ofi events


should be a great encouragement to both ofdclals and players, who in recent months had been


I greatly depressed by the repeated setbacks and 111-luc'k. At' last, after having tried 52 players, the committee seem to have found a winning comblhation—a just ireward for monumental perse- verence. ;


IMPORTANT MATCH The successes! have largely dis­


pelled any fear of having ,to apply for re-admission to the Combina­ tion, but the financial position of the club is still causing anxiety. Monday’S;: gate of £61 was a welcome tonic, however, and the team’s excellent form should ensure big attendances at the remaining home games.


; This should partlcuiarly apply to fhe match! with Wigan’ Athletic next Wednesday! even-, , ing. . - Wigan are one point be-


' hind Nelson In the championship struggle, and have a match in hand. ’The result; therefore, may have an Important bearing on the championship, and the match is almost certain to attract a large attendance from Nelson. The kick-off Is timed for 6-45.

ANGLING NOTES.; ---------------y r - -— ' I ■


Prescot Mastered In Second|Half Onslaught


gPRING was inot only In the air at Shaw i Bridge on


Monday night|-it Was in the toes'of the Clitberbe forwards who played havoc with a hard pressed Frescot Cables defence and chalked up] six grand goals. Frescot replied twice, bat they’ could not quibble over what was a decisive Clltheroe victory. Gone' was Saturday’s weak finishing—both in attack and defence Clitheroe were undis- puted masters-!


I ■ = ? . !


I |


No one In 'the large crowd-


gate receipts totalled £61—could colnplain of lack of value for money in;this matohl Although the goal rush did not come until the second half; .there was no


lack of excitement in the game’s earlier stages. ;Prescot, looked slightly the craftier side and there was an early shock when ■Presebt's inside-right, Rogers,' let loose a tenlflc drive from outside the penalty area which zoomed Inches over the crossbar.. In Clitheroe’s first dangerous


raid, Robinson ,\(ras unlucky when', hls header ffom ; McIntosh’s centre went Into Hobson’s arms, and a few minutes later Wilkin­ son was seconds!late;getting hls foot to the ball In front of goal. Gradually Clitheroe’s nippy for­ wards began to' assert themselves more effectively, and'then, three minutes before the interval, Thomas crowned a grand solo run with a beautifully-placed


shot which floated Into the comer of the net. !


Prescot tried ' hard for the


equaliser during the' opening minutes of the sec.orid half but they got little rope from a cool compact Clitheroe defence.. As Prescot' faltered against a re­ sourceful half-back line, Clith­ eroe came back Into the picture. Their light never faded again.


Clitheroe - went further ahead through a slick, opportunist goal by Wilkinson. I t ’(yas. quickly followed by a very doubtful decision. Kenny, obviously play­ ing tbe ball, was penalised for a foul mid-way in Clitheroe’s Half. The kick was scrambled from the goalmouth, but Lyons shot from 1 the rebound and gave Prescot


' spectacular than Prescot’s second goal 15 minutes later,! when their left-winger, Coulfleld nipped In to score from point-blank range after a melee In front of goal.


CLITHEROE onslaught'


: Clitheroe took-''tlie setback! ’literally In theli stride. T h e forwards began a relentless on­ slaught that left Prescot defend-- ers standing. Goal number three flashed in from Robinson’s toe after some pretty scheming by McIntosh on the left wing, and then Upfon clinched a clever, unhurried break through with a hard drive .which gave Hobson no chance. Upton had a foot in,


the. next goal, which followed a freei-klck from' outside the penalty area, when Johnston let fly with a savage shot. ’The ball bounced off the goalkeeper, on to Upton’s boot, and Into the net. For all they could have done


to check this remorseless Clitheroe attack . Prescot might as well have packed up and gone home. In answer to numerous requests from enthusiastic spec­ tators Clitheroe made it half-a- dozen when Thomas,! a minute from time, streaked down the wing, dodged in sharply towards goal, and found the net almost before Hobson had realised it. I t is not easy to single out any


particular Olitheroe .player for fe c ia l mention. Johnston at Tight half kept ’Thomas well supplied with a stream of accurate passes, but neither Jollriston nor,. Thomas over­ shadowed the performances of Banatt, Pickering, Rotherham, MoCrea, Kenny, Upton, -Robin­ son, Wilkinson and Mclnjosh. And that Is the whole team.
