were playing a very good side on Saturday, but I think if


our lads play as well as they did against Great Harwood, we stand a very good chance indeed."


He added. “I am not think­


ing in the terms of a draw. I think we can win the tie first time. I f our lads play their normal game and for­ get the difference in leagues Fleetwood, we should do very weir.


Mr. Procter said that Fleet-


wood have a very lively cen­ tre forward, but their attack seems big and cumbersome, and he is confident that the Clitheroe forwards can break through whenever the need arises.


Spur Mr. Keith Wilkinson, Clith-


eroe's vice-chairman, echoed Mr. Procter’s thoughts when he said, “If Fleetwood play as they did on Saturday, and We play as we did against Great Harwood, we will have nothing to worry about."


The F.A. Cup. however,


always seems to act as a spur to clubs not doing well in the league. One only has to think of the third and fourth division clubs to realise this.


That may be the case to­


morrow, for Fleetwod have struck a bad spell, having dropped from fourth to 17th in the Premier League follow­ ing several successive defeats, while Clitheroe have risen up the Lancashire Combina­ tion after a shaky start.


Clitheroe have had their three last league games, against Burscough. Black­


Perhaps it is fortunate that

At the time of writing.


Bobby Sagar is doubtful, and a question mark hangs over •the head of Colin William­ son. who was sent off in the replay against Great Har­


wood. John Kirk received a knock


on the ankle in the Great Harwood match, but played in a lst’s v 2nd’s practice match on Saturday and should almost certainly be fit for tomorow.


Many Clitheroe supporters will remember the last time


Clithcroe and Fleetwood met m the F.A. Cup in 1965-66 when the Highbury club won 3— 1. Our headline stated after


the match, “Clitheroe’s attack switch failed to Toil Fleet- wood.” for Clitheroc had switched their

I f Clitheroe can repeat last


season’s form when they won 1_0 at Fleetwood and drew 0— 0 at Shaw Bridge in league matches, they should have little to worn’ about, but there are a couple of points that need to be cleared up or tomorrow’s clash. The main fault with the


Clitheroe team this season has been the misunder­ standing between the defence and the goalkeeper, whether Schofield or Cockcroft was in


the goals. This was remedied to a


great extent in the two Great Harwood games, but even so, there were a couple of anxious moments when the Clithcroe supporters’ hearts were in their mouths. Clitheroe should have the


largest following to an away game, excluding Great Har­ wood, for many years, be­ cause at least one if not two coaches are being pro­ vided for those travelling to the game. This should do the team

Clitheroe's team that day they received at Great Har­


wood last week. F le e tw o o d took two


attempts to defeat amateur side, Penrith, in getting through to this round of the cup. and if Clitheroe can beat the Highbury men. they have a great chance of recording their greatest-ever progress


in the F.A. Cup. As it will be remembered,


the furthest Clitheroe have ever got in the competition was to 1965-66 when Fleet- wood beat them 3— 1 in the Third Qualifying Round, and went on to meet Roch­ dale, by whom they were beaten 0— 5. Of course, the big question


is whether Clitheroe can hc\l the lively Fleetwood leader. Armstrong but with Chris Sims and John Kirk com­ manding the middle, the Shaw Bridge side should have little to worry about providing everyone hits top

Brian, however, does not in­ dulge in the usual kind of motor racing. Instead, he competes in


s t o c k car meetings and recently won the final °f the Autumn Trophy at a meeting held at Aycliffe, near Dar­ lington.


Dangerous This was Brian’s first win


in a final, although he has won several heats and con­ solation prizes in the past. Although the sport is gen­


erally thought to be quite dangerous, he said that he


has never seen a competitor receive more than a couple of cuts and briuises in his five


years in the sport. ' He added, “Stock car racing


looks much worse than it is. The safety regulations and precautions are very strict, however, so that the risk ot serious injury is cut to a


minimum.” Brian said that the drivers

lasts from March to October, and the drivers are graded on points and have the roofs of their cars painted correspon­ dingly. The colours are white, yellow blue and red, the latter being the drivers who are given the biggest handicaps.

i n t e r e s t The recent enrolment


evenings at Clitheroe Adult Centre produced rather a surprising pattern in the sports classes with the most popular sports gaining little support yet the compara­ tively new sports being of


considerable interest. Football training and coach­


ing classes, one of the most popular games in the dis­ trict, attracted very little support, while judo, a com­ paratively new sport in this district, attracted sufficient


interest for three classes. Other out-of-the-ordinary


activities such as fencing and motor cycling also received

considerable support. The fencing classes at


Golf once a g a in was


divided into two classes, one for beginners and one for experienced players, as were the badminton classes.


Angling has returned to


the programme after being closed last year due to lack of a suitable lecturer. The general keep-fit classes for both men and women have also been quite well sup­ ported.


Calderstones added to their


lead when Bibby took advan­ tage of a defensive slip and netted from five yards. After the interval Trinity, with the wind behind them, pressed hard and Furber was lucky to save several hard shots from the home forwards but the scoreline remained at 3— 0. Morrison was outstanding


for Trinity while Leach played extremely well for

t o t r y Billington 0, White Lions 4 The main reason for


Billington’s 0—4 home defeat by White Lions on Saturday, was the fact that the h o m e side’s


players were not prepared to give 100 per cent effort throughout the 90 minutes, but were more inclined to go a l l out for 45 minutes and then relax for the rest


of the game. Biliington won the toss


and elected to defend the slope, but White Lions were the first to be dangerous, and took a 1— 0 half-time lead through Foulker.


After the interval Billing-


ton started to flag and the visitors had no difficulty in forcing their way through the home defence and scor­ ing three more goals through Woodworth, Briggs and Wall- bank (own goal).


For the second time this


season, at a speoial presenta­ tion on Sunday at tho Chat­ burn Road ground, the captain of a Clitheroo Cricket Club team received a loaguc championship trophy. This second trophy, whioh

Grindleton in goal storm


Two Cliliheroe Amateur


League sides, dhatbum and Grindleton United, were drawn against Black­ burn Combination rides in tihe preliminary round of the Lancashire - Junior


Shield recently. While ,chatbum defeated Pleckgatc Athletic after extra


time in a replay, Griindleton were no so lucky as they ran into a goal-storm when they were defeated 1— 10 at Rib­ chester by the First Division side.


Ribchester, who had scored


three by half-time, ran riot in the second half and could have had even more than the seven goals they did score.


Reserves slip one place


Clitheroe Reserves had no game on Saturday because


their opponents Lytham Land Registry, could not raise a team, and because of this, the


Shaw Bridge side slipped one place in the table to fourth.

G O O D S P O R T The brown trout season


ended on Monday and this is a sad time for the trout


angler. Tackle has to be cleaned; fishing bags emptied; and


aU the odds and ends that always seem to accumulate at the bottom of the bag must be sorted out and put into their appropriate con­ tainers.


Rods should be washed and, if necessary, repaired,


re-varnished and then hung in their bags. This prevents rods taking on a permanent set.


On the whole the trout


season has not been a very good one. The dry weather during most of the summer made trout very difficult to take, and many would-be. trout anglers gave up in disgust, frustrated at not having caught a decent trout for weeks.


On the brighter side, sea


trout fishing is excellent. Mir, Fred Scott, a local angler, took eight sea trout and 20 brown trout on warm in flood water at Hodder Foot in a matter of two hours.
