Mud larks not to Clitheroe5 s


liking


THREE GOALS DOWN AT CHORLEY


TORRENTIAL rain before ami almost throughout Clilheroc’s game with Cliorley on Saturday turned Victory Park into a lake and made


anything approaching good football virtually impossible. Alter a goal-lcss first half, Chorley eventually proved masters of the atrocious


conditions and scored three times after the interval without reply. It was a miserable game, and a pathetic sight to see


the dejected players trudging through- the mud. a splash of water marking their every step. Clithcroc were plainly un-


happy in the conditions, and showed none of the fire which troubled Skelmers- dalc last week. But this was in no mean


downpour which was flood­


ing the pitch, the surface water becoming steadily deeper throughout the game. Commonts such as: " It ’s more like wator-polo" wore frequently made.


way due to the rain, mud and surface water on the pitch. Neither open football nor short passing provided any real answer to the problem and it was a matter of luck where 'the ball went when it was kicked. On s e v e r a l occasions,


players and spectators alike thought that the game would be abandonod, for there seemed to be no end to the


motoring satisfaction in


five an d six in d ies deep, and one such area was the scene of several floundering scram­ bles for the ball, leaving more th an one player with mud in his eyes.


In places, th e re were pools


shuffled for the visit. Widdup moving to inside r ig h t and Eyles coming in on the wing. Braysford was substitute, and came on about twenty minutes from the end, replacing Eyles.


Another important change


was in th e captaincy. I t was thought th a t tire burden had been lying heavily on Dave Baron, and so Wilf Holt, per­ haps Clitheroe’s most experi­ enced player, was given the job, an d certainly seemed to rally his men effectively, con­ sidering the conditions.
