Holt and Garratt Shine In


Whalley I Victory


QAINING their second league vi ctory in two games,


Whalley won with two wickets-to spare in their home game against Earby ori Saturday after


.another successful performance by their profewlonal, W. B. Holt, and a captain’s innings by their skipper and opening bats­ man, George Garratt. 1


Holt’s value was by no means


restricted to a bowling analysis of five for 34. ■ With Garratt he was the only Whalley player to score double figure^ and the partnership between the two added 47 invaluable runs for the


third wicket. ' ! I ■


The usefulness of the stand


was later underlined when Whalley slumped, from 55 for


three to 84 for eight, but 'a timely little stand of 14 between T, Wood and T. Hargreaves took Whalley . to victory without further loss with 98 for eight in reply to an-Earby total of 95'.


Garralt. took! the batting


honours with, an attractive 47, which included four boundaries, while Holt also had four boundaries in a: bright innings of 27.


' I ! UNCERTAIN START Failing -to |master either


Holt’s off-spinners or the bowling of T. Hargreaves (four for 40), Earby made an : uncertain start by losing four : wickets for 41 runs, then collapsed altogether when the scorebpard shpt.to 54 for eight.

CHATBURN READ RIBBLE LEAGUE


QHATBURN’S run of three con­ secutive victories was halted


at Chipping on Saturday when the visitors had ito be content


with a point in the Ribble Valley League’s first drawn game of the season.


But Chatburn still head the


league table with'a slender'lead of one point over Barrow and Wiswell, who both won on Sat­ urday. Chipping achieved the high^t score of the day with a total of 130, to which Chatburn bad replied with 80 for seven when play ended.


In pfter games, however, bats­


men had a lean time. In Sab-' den's game against Ribchester, for instance, Sabden won after they had been skittled out for a , total of 36. The man 'they had to thank was bowler Ainsworth, whose seven wickets for lo runs helped dismiss Ribchester , for 26.


Bowlens were also ,on tap at


D ow n h am, where Barrow secured their third win in three games. In this game, only three batsmen reached double figures. Two of them, L, Crook (21) and J. Foster (11), helped Barrow score a total of 52 despite a. devastating spell by Downham's D. Driver, who took five wickets for ten runs.: G, Tomlinson had three for' 18 and R. Aspinwall two for 19. But when Downham replied, only G. Tomlinson (18) offered effective resistance to a hostile, Barrow attack in which J. Poster (five for 18), C. Forrest ’ (three for 21) and A. McNab'


(two for 2) put Downham out for 42,


formance was undoubtedly that of !Wiswell’s' T. Sded, whose success with bat and ball played a large part In Wiswell’s . two-wicket victory over Church Bank Mill. After taking five for , 17 to dismiss Church Bank for 51, Seed contributed 41 to a IViswell total of 58 fpr eight.

The matobwinners were R.

(!)LIMBING ! over their local rivals, Ribblesdale Wander­


ers,, to resume the leadership of the Ribblesda,Ie League on Sat­ urday, Clitheroe’s ' confidence was obviously! unaffected by suc­ cessive'“ derby” defeats at the hands of Whalley the previous week, and Wanderers'in a mid­ week Ramsbottom Cup game.


Indeed, they have given no


more confident, display this season than in handsomely defeating Sklptpn on the York- shiremen’s home ground./In the first place, it;was without doubt Clltheroe’s best batting display of the current programme, not only because : they scored more runs, but because the task of getting them was shared by the whole side.


, . EXCELLENT START A partnership of 41 between


En-twistle and:vice-captain Ralph Southworth'gave them an ex­ cellent start, [but if- one thing was better than another it was 'the ! free-scoring approach of later batsfnen in developing the advantage.
