L ilE WINNER Whalley 3; Eibbic C. 2


The meeting between the joint league leaders, WhaUey and


Ribble Cement, at 'Whalley on Saturday, produced anj exciting duel in which the standard of football belied the heavy ground conditions.;


i


Whalley deserved their victory chiefly because they [adapted


themselves better to the heavy going, although for the most part, and particularly in the first half, it was an even, closely- contested game.


Ribble; took the lead with a


goal by: Driver’ in the 15th minute, but| Whalley were on level terms jinside five minutes through iBruhker,' and then took the lead with ;a goal by Bush. Ribble countered strongly and a goal by Denny made the interval


score 2-2. 'Whalley’s match- winner came 10 minutes from the end when Taylor scored, and they would ha-ye had another if Ribble’s alert goalkeeper, Shaw, had not prevented a penalty kick from crossing the line.


CHATBURN WIN Read 2; Chatburn 3


, As thelscore suggests, this was an evenly-contested ' game, and Chatburn were extremely for­ tunate to take both points. A draw would have been a fairer result. On this form, Read are not a > bottom-of-the-league side. This was their first defeat since October 9th.


In ths early stages, Chatbum


were more aggressive and went ahead through Salisbury, who netted from an oblique angle. Read struck back and centre forward Berry tempted the Chat­ burn goalkeeper and lobbed the ball overjhis;head to put his side on level I


But seconds later Tyler put Chatbum in the


lead once' again. (I


On the resumption. Read's


forwards [peppered the ' visitors’ goal from all angles and Chat- bum’s defence had a harassing time. But in' a breakaway, Tom,- linson piit Chatbum three 'up against the run of play.' Shortly before tune, Worsley reduced Read’s arrears.


4-GOAU FORWARD Billington 0; Low Moor 6 Four goals by Lucas helped


give Low Moor a decisive victory over BUlington at Elker-lane on Saturday. Pinch opened the scoring for ’ > Low Moor, and further goals from Lucas and


Davidson took the interval score to 3-0.


Low Moor continued their T


I I


! '


mastery of the heavy baU in the second half, ^hen a fine forward movement, with Lucas at its head,' increased their tally to four. "Lucas: put the issue be­ yond doubt lyith two more goals shortly before the end, to make the final score 6-0.


Postponement Cuts' A Month’s Home Games To One


(]LITHEROE had good cause for disappointment at the


postponement of their; game with Leyland Motors at Shaw Bridge on Saturday. It means that they now have only one match during November, and at a time when every penny is; needed to meet running costs. :


Apari from tbe financial aspect,


there is the inconvenience of an additional fixture now to be fitted into the already crowded programme at the end of the season.


[ . And equally there is the effect


on public interest, which cannot be stimulated by only one home game during the month. It is .true that the club had a welcome victory in their last game at Bamoldswick a fortnight ago, but In the long run it is the team's performances at home


that hold the key to public support. ■Referee L. Haslam, who post­


poned last week-end’s fixture because of ground conditions, stuck steadfastly to his guns when officials and players of both teams tried to persuade him to change his mind.


SPORTING SPOTLIGHT


No one blames him for that,


but it seemed ironic that the match should be called off with


, both teams protesting thebr eagerness to play, and the fact that many games have been played there when conditions have been much worse. In view


• of the factors involved, there seemed to be a good deal of justification for ’the protests.


The postponement also -delayed


supporters’ first glimpse of Clith- eroe’s new signing, Eric Jenyans, the former Nelson and Accring­ ton-forward, an experienced ball player who should fit well into the scheming pattern set by Clitheroe's present architect, the guileful McManus.


Meanwhile, there is encourag­


ing news of one of the most talented of Clitheroe’s newcomers


’this season, the fair-haired Harri­ son, who has been out pt the side for some weeks through injury. Now reported fit again, Harrison will strengthen the defence still further on his return to the side, and complete a Clitheroe team that is developing 'into the most workmanlike that the club have fielded for some time.


COMFORTABLY PLACED As far as 'league position is


concerned, Clitheroe are quite comfortably placed in the upper half of the league, with 14 points from 13 games. But before 'they can develop their comfortable p o s i t i o n . into a challenging position, Clitheroe still have to make up a leeway of seven points between themselves and the second of the present .promotion faVourites,' Presco't Cables, who have 21 points from 11 games. It needs only a repetition of their last diiplay a fortnight ago for Cffitheroe to make sure of four of the points from their next two

W a s ‘Dangerous Said Referee


^ REFEREE’S lot is a har-d one!


"n it seems, even when he doesn't have ■to blow his whistle. At Shaw Bridge on Saturday, lieferee L. Haslam, of Rishton, came in for a good; deal of criticism without so much as signalling the kick-off. In fact ft was because Mr. Haslam never did whistle 'the kick-off- -that droused the protests.


Field Day Fo^ The Actors


PERHAPS one of the biggest Single factors in'the success which British fllriis have enjoyed since the [ war is the overall


strength of what arc called thp c h a r a c t e r parts. A case in point is “ THE WEAK AND TIIE[ WICKED}” (Ki n g Lane), a British film about life in a women’s prison, which offers the i character actors a field day, and gives an interesting glimpse of


prison methods. A .wealth of razor-isharp lit(le

no such deterrent to clubs in -the Clitheroe Amateur League, where a full programme was completed. Chief feature was a battle of the joint leaders, -Whalley and Ribble Cement, a t . 'Galley, where the villagers won a closely- contested game by the odd goal in five to become undisputed leaders.


OUR COUNTRYSIDE


JJURINGI the week-end I set out to' explore a favourite


haunt of mine by the Upper Hodden I made an early start and as We have come to expect, BO did the rain. Capes, there-i


fore,' had to be fixed by 8 a.m., and from then onwards con­ ditions steadily ■worsened. A brief break in the clouds revealed the beauty of the bracken- covered fells. Narrow gullies on distant Croasdale were filled with a rushing white torrent cascading hea-dlong down the hillside. Such conditions are far from encouraging, either to human or wild life, and it quickly became apparent that close cover was the order of the day. After walking steadUy for four'hours It was possible to. count the -various species of bird life on the fingers of one ,hand.


VERY DISAPPOINTING Although' it was all very


disappointing, it did reveal the remarkable influence of the weather on wild life on these more exposed and leas wooded areas. It also served to empha­ sise -the fact that under -more favourable' conditions a similar walk within: a few miles of Clith- ejoe ' can reveal quite an exciting ■ collectioa of visitors. Distance -travelled can in no way guarantee the most out­ standing results as I was soon ■to find on the following day. Sunday was glorious and put to shame the days of June and July, proclaimed by the calendar. as summer.


A short visit -to Brungerley quickly proved how. birds-and


njamriials , responded to the bright conditions and a cloudless sky. A kestrel, flying low, with a fl^d mouse held in its talons, dropped on the pasture beyond the river. 'After a brief pause, the bird was again on the 'wing, ap.d with leisurely flight went downstream hi the direction of Ci l i - theroe. ' Th.e early sun revealed all 'the delightful brown and slate on the upper parts as the neat raider passed just below. •Here, standing on the high ground, ths view is outstElnding. L[ush, green pastures; hawthorns flushed with red; russet beech Im e s carpeting the ground all serve to gladden the eye and. in toe sunshine, uplift -the spirit. i


b r ig h t c l o a k


Beyond Waddington the fell is ■onderfully bright in a cloak of


rich russet, and again to -the right, just on the horizon. Bimpshey ' is carpeted in the warm -tones of -dying bracken.


[ Continuing over the' bridge [


and entering Waddow a wood- c.bek took flight frdm Just behind the roadside hedge. Here -the ground,, after months of heavy rain. Is very soft, and in conse­ quence attractive to such a bird. ■’TOat interested me, however, ■was that this bird should be so near -the town. Usually,- frost will drive such as -toe snipe and woodcock, to seek food in these places, but during a, coinpara- tively mild spell .these occur­ ences are 'unusual. , The late Joe Hayhuist,! a man - who knew RibblesdaJe and its wDd creatures rietteri than anyone I know, was very fond of relating how in years gone by he had flushed


I “ I arrived two hours before the match was due to begin and i n s p e c t e d the g r o .und thoroughly," he . said. “ In ' my opinion it is not qnly unfit for play, but dangerous. Parts of the pitch are almost a foot deep in' water and mjud.”


WORSE CONDITIONS But home supporters did not


agree. “ Matches have been played here under far worse conditions. If they’re not going -to play when it’s like this, when are th.sy going to play? ” queried ohe supporter.


[ Indeed, the absence of stand­ ing water on the pitch had led most spectators to beUeve that


-the match would be played. ; iTbe pitch had ho-t been used


f ir a fortnight, an Amateur Ljeague game 5ie previous Satur­ day having been abandoned because of ground conditions.
