The Clitheroc A dvertiser Vi Tillies, March 20. 1964 9


DROPPED HOME POINT COULD PROVE COSTLY


'|'HE words o£ the popular song “ When will they ever learn” came vividly to mind at Shaw Bridge on Saturday, as Clith­


eroc struggled to secure a point from the visit of Barrow Reserve. Rain fell steadily on Saturday morning so that the ground


was muddy before the game began. Further rain fell during the game and by the time the match had ended the ground looked like a bog. Good football under these


conditions was, of course, impossible, and as the Clith- croe p l a y e r s fiddled and Happed about, and as the for­ wards repeatedly fell into the offside trap, the few spectators shivered and sighed, no doubt thinking they were paying a high price for their loyalty. Clithcroc's future may well

of the table.

almost to have lost their will to win, there are not enough players fighting for the ball and there are some members of the team who seem almost indiffe­ rent if they are not in possession.
