For a long time the Read


Barry Varley had presented a catch in the slips before he had scored, the bowlers were still held at bay. Peter Gorton, who scored 10, was, to say the least most painstaking and with Jimmy Peters subdued for a long period play became ex­ tremely dull from the spectators viewpoint. Indifferent fielding did not add to the general en­ joyment and one wondered at one time whether Whalley would ever score enough to be in position to declare. Peters took risks in reaching his half century but good fortune was not on Read’s side until Peters was out to a ball which rose awkwardly but otherwise could be considered one of the worst sent down during the after­ noon.

Terry Kenyon (21) and Arthur Gill (19), were all, at one time, competing for the two wingers’ places, and add to th i s . the name of Mel Widdup, who had ll- games at outside right, and one can understand the com­ mittee’s difficulty in deciding who to leave out. Fortunately the problem more or less sorted itself out when Terry Kenyon moved back into the defence and had several very good


games there. The three signings which

As last- season, however when Mel Widdup, Terry Kenyon, Chris Sims, John Heminsley' and Dennis Hodson, who has since left the club, fought for the places, this season should : keep all the players on their toes, especially with the arrival Of .Parkinson. The problem could be enlarged by the fact that two of the other three new. signings, John Chatbum from Great Harwood and Ian Cordingley from the Blackburn Combination, are also wing-halves.

stand out as being of great value to Clitheroe last season, however, were David Baron, the tireless wing-half who played in every league game, Chris Sims the tenacious full back who had had Football League experience with Blackburn Rovers, and the very promising- Terry Sumner.-’ A significant signing for


next season is that of former Clitheroe player, Brian Parkin­ son. He has been signed from Nelson, who were relegated to the Second Division of the Lan­ cashire Combination, a s a centre half, but this in itself will create a very big headache for the selection committee.
