I Success would be consolation


Tomorrow Clitheroe em­ bark on the last of the cup


trails for the 1968-69 season when they visit Maghull in the first round of the Lancashire Junior Cup.


Moghul] are very mud) an


unknown quantity to the Clitheroe players, as the dubs have never met either in the


league or cup since the Shaw Bridge side entered the Lan-


side, Maghull must not he treated lightly as anything can happen ir. the cup, and the Liverpool club's players


wili realise that they have nothing to lose but every­ thing to gain fram the game with Clitheroe.


Success Clttheroe have met Liver­


pool Combination sides before in the Lancashire Junior Cup, and two seasons ago they played Formby, who are now in the Lancashire Combin­ ation, and defeated them 6-0 at Shaw Bridge. For some years Clitheroe


enshire Combination in 1925. havo not had much success A Liverpool Combination


in tho competition, die furthest they have got being


the quarter finafs in 1952-53, 1958-59 and 1906-67. Last season, of course,


Clitheroe went out at the first hurdle, being defeated 0-2 at Guinness, who arc now in tho Cheshire League, after


finishing as runners-up in the Combination. The early 1930's were the


golden years in the Lanca­ shire Junior Cup as far as


Clitheroe were concerned, for in five consecutive seasons, they reached the final twice and the semi-fmai twice. In 1930-31 they were


beaten 3-5 by Lancaster in the finaC, and the following year they were again beaten


finalists, this time going down 0-2 to Dick Kerr's of Preston. In 1932-33 they reached the


semi-final, only to go down 2-4 to Lancaster. The next


year was disastrous, as they went, out 0-1 at Chorley in the first round, but the fol- owing year they were back again in the semi-finals, this time losing 1-4 to Wigan Athletic


Consolation Clitheroe desperately need


something to show for this season, as they are out of both in F.A. Cup and the Combination Cup, and are now in the lower half of the league table. Some success in the Lanca­


shire Junior Cup could, there­ for. serve as some consolation


to a season which, at the beginning, promised so much.

Five wins in

riding on the crest of a wave at the moment, for on Saturday they recorded their fifth successive win by defeating Lytham Land

good start w'th a goal from Mann who gave the home go lkecper no chance follow­ ing a splendid run down the


m dale. Lyham fought back, but a


good chance was missed by Brown who shot wide when put through by Frazer. Clitheroe went further


ahead after 25 minutes when •Hinksman cracked a shot against the bar and Cunliffe m -de no mistake with a well- placed header. Lytham did manage to

First home


win Trinity 6, Billington 3


Trinity gained their first


home win of the season when they defeated Billing-


ton by 6-3 on Saturday. The home side opened


strongly and scored three goals in the first 20 minutes through Czapowski and R. PeeK2), and also had a Hal- pin effort disallowed. After the interval the visi­ tors looked the more impres­


sive side and scored twice through Willis. However, in tho 55th minute Peel com­ pleted his hat-trick for TYinity. Ireland added a third for


Billington to make the score 4—3 for Trinity. The game could have gone either way until Halpin headed a fine


goal from a loft wins 61028 by Turnbull, and then, min­ utes from time, Penman con­ verted a penalty.


CLITHEROE ARE' NOW ON THEIR KNEES


their


Clitheroe slumped to t hi r d successive


defeat when they went down by the odd goal in three at Leyland on Satur­


day. Once again it was the same


old story with tho forwards missing chance after chance and the defence having a couple of slack periods during which they conceded goals. Clitheroe w e r e rocked


back on their heels when Leyland took an early lead, and though th e y fought back tremendously, they were shaken when the home side scored again a f t e r the interval. Considering all the pres­


sure that the visiting for­ wards put on the home goal,


Reg stry: Bannister; Garslde, Pomfret; Jamieson, Leeming, Rowe; Brown. Claridge, Rod­


it was surprising that no goals came, and in tho end Clitheroe had to be content with an “own ■ goal” as a small consolation.


Weak The Clitheroe forwards


repeatedly broke through the Leyland defence, which some­ times tended to overplay the offside game, but the finish­ ing was woefully weak and several opportunities were missed.


Perhaps the two main fac­


tors about Clitheroe's finish­ ing were that the forwards were liable to try one more move before trying a shot,


and when, at last thev did shoot, they were over-eager and the ball flashed wide or the mark.


Wallbank and Wilson both


had c h a n c e s to open Clitheroe's account but time after time they were too hurried i n their attempts and saw the ball go yards off course.


Kay was unlucky on a


couple of occasions mid-way through the first half when


he would have scored had it not been for the daring goal­ keeping of Famworth.


Clitheroe exerted tremen­


dous pressure after Leyland scored their second goal, and for long periods in the second half the ball did not leave the Motors’ half.


Gaps The game almost had a


sensational finish when both goals had narrow escapes in the last two minutes, but no further scoro was added.


Tlie Shaw Bridge side


must, however, learn to translate its territorial advan­ tage into goals if it is to hold


a respectable position in the


Combination at the end of the season, for too many points are being dropped to teams that Clitheroe could dereal with better finishing in the attack.


At first after Chris Sims'


departure to Great Harwood, it looked as though Clitheroe would not miss the ex-Rovers stalwart, but his absence is te'ling now, fo r there are too many gaps appearing in the defence, where Haworth Kirk and Baron are often over­ worked.


Tliis was much the case


on Saturday, when O’Neill was given precious little cover, moments before both goals were scored.


In fact, O’Neill was not as


confident as he has been in recent games, and was forced


into making simple mistakes, such as the occasion when he tried a short goal-kick to Haworth, but oniy succeeded in kicking the bal] over the line for a corner.


John Kirk had quite a


shock when he walked out on thc pitch at Leyland, for, tall as he is, he found himself looking up to' Leyland’s centre forward, Dixon, who is a giant 6ft. 4in.


asset to Leyland in their attacks,


This, of course, was a great for they could


almost entirely depend on Dixon reaching the ball in the air, and it was from his head that their second goal was scored.


Young Stephen Procter


was making his third appear­ ance in the first team, taking over from Colin Williamson, who had been dropped and was turning out for the Reserves.


-Reputation 4- Pi-octer did well, showed


several good footballing ideas, but unfortunately once again he resorted to shirt-tugging


later in the game when he began to tire. This practice could earn


him a bad reputation with players and referees, and that would be a pity as he has obviously got a considerable amount of talent


Tommy Haworth was as


strong as ever, and he even found time, during Clitheroe’s attacking period, to go upfield and have a crack at goals himself


David Baron had an out­


standing game in defence and covered a lot of ground, as did John Kirk, who was hampered a littlo by a very tali opponent. ■


Mel Widdup and Bernard


Kay had contrasting games in midfield, Kay was good


in patches, but out of the game in others, while Wid­ dup often did one good move one minute and then ruined all Ixis work bv making a poor pass to a colleague.


Jimmy Ctmliffe seemed out


of place on the wing, and only created danger when he moved inside. Both Bernard Wallbank and David Wilson


played well, but missed too many chances. Wayne Harvie came back to


the side after missing tho two Great Harwood matches, and he showed many neat touches as he dribbled round the Leyland defence, laying on chances for the other for­ wards.


Leyland started in great


style when Dixon broke through the Clitheroc rear­ guard, O’Neill parried his first shot, but the centre forward followed it up and blasted thc ball home.


They were almost two-up


minutes later when Kay, back in his own area, beat Dixon in the air, but the ball ran to Bond, whose shot went wide from close range.


A long clearance from


Baron found Kay as Clitheroe pressed hard tor an equaliser, but he shot straight at Farn- worth as he came cut to nar­ row the angle.


Kay was proving dangerous


in swift attacks, and at the end of one, Famworth did well to stop the Clitheroe leader with a sliding tackle at his feet.


With three minutes to go


before half-time, Wilson broke through the offside trap but though he beat Fam­ worth, his shot trickled past the upright.


After 64 minutes Leyland


increased their lead. A right wing comer was headed down by Dixon, and Waa’burton had two attempts before he got the ball past O’Neill.


Three minutes later Cun- iiffo was clean throughrafteri


“ beating two 'men for speed, but with only the goalkeeper


to bea t. he shot wide. Clitheroe pulled one back


after 70 minutes when Wi1 jrm chased a long ball into tho Leyland area, and, in trying to clear. Kershaw only suc­ ceeded in hitting the ball past his own goalkeeper.


Hurt Clitheroe came back into


tile game and forced three cornel’s in quick succession but they came to nothing.


With three minutes to go


Warburton beat Widdup and Procter for speed but O'Neill dived at his feet and collected the ball. Following tho clear­ ance. Famworth was hurt when Baron raced in after a loose ball.


A minute later Wallbank


beat two men but missed badly when he" shot over from an angle, and then, in the final minute, O’Neill let a loose ball slip through his hands for a corner, which was cleared.

Carter scores a hat-trick


Gisburn 3, Grassington 2 (after extra timo)


Gisburn had a tough task disposing of Grassington United before they could make their way into the next


round of the Craven Cup Competition on Saturday. Gisburn settled down


quicker than Grassington, and were soon well on top, but good defensive work by the visitors kept the home forwards at bay.-- After 30 minutes Nuttall


cleared a good Pass out to Woodworth. The Gisbum


skipper headed it, on to Cai’- fer, who smashed thc ball past the stranded goalkeeper, Gisburn had two more


chances to score, but missed them both. The game was


fast and furious, but play was even for tlie rest of the first half. Aftar thc re-start, Grassing­


ton came more into the game and the Gisbum defence was at ful' stretch, with Dennett making some fine saves.


Penally After 70 minutes the Gras­


sington centre forward ap­ peared to fling himself to the ground in


penalty area, and much to the surprise of all the home players, the referee, who had kept very firm control of the game, awarded a penalty from which the Grassington half­ back scored.


Gisbum retaliated and


scored five minutes later when Carter was again on tho mark. With the score at 2-1 for Gisbum, seme rough play crept in, and tlie refea’ee seemed to have no control.


In fact, had there not been two official Craven linesmen


Cbe Gisbum


the match could have ended in a free-for-all.


With 12 minutes to go,


Kenny was about t° clear the ball when he was viciously punched in the face.


Kenny jumped up to pro­


test to toe referee, but he was immediately booked for retaliation. The referee then gave Grass'ngton a free kick just outside tlie area.


Booked The ball went high over


the centre of the goalmouth to the Grassington outside left, who headed in for a we'l-takcn equaliser.


Embery, who had been in


brilliant form for Gisbum, was hocked down from be- h’nd, and the ref tree booked the Grassington centre for-


waird for the foul. Only minutes later tho


visitors’ outs'de left was sent off for bringing down Kenny.


G is b u r n scored what


seemed to be a good ‘goal’ be­ fore full-time, but it was dis­ allow’d fox- handball.


Gisburn 'ooked tlie stronger


side at the start of extra rime, but though the visitors


only had 10 men, they fought vert hard; I t was not long, however,


before Woodworth sent Carter


. through and the latter com­ pleted his hat-trick, bringing his total of goals in the com­ petition to six.


Whistle After five minutes’ play the


ball was *n the Gx-assiugton net agrin. The referee gave a goal, but after speaking, to the linesman, disallowed it.

Sunday, for, after appearing for the club on and off for six seasons, his work has forced him to give up the game. John, who lives in Moor Lane, Clitheroe, has played on


the wing and at right hack, but it is in . the latter position that ho has given some very creditable performances this season.

His ‘retirement’ ended on a happynote, as Gisburn de­ feated the home side, Hurst Green, by. 2-0.

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS!


Whenever l go through


the Trough, I seem to be unfortunate in that circum­ stances conspire to make me late to the start and I have to spend thc early


part of the day in chase. So it was last Sunday when


the Clarion were scheduled to visit Sunderland Point. At


least 25 minutes behind the club, my younger son and I set a good pace through Cow Ark and Wliitewell in the hope that we could catch up at the county boundary'- At Sykes Hill I dismounted


and walked, expecting to sen the club doing likewise as I approached each comer.


Struggled ‘■Younger son”, with the


boundless energy of youth, rode the hill and then came back to meet me as I strug­ gled to the top, with the news that there was no-one at the


top. A passing motorist in­


formed us that he had seen no cyclists from the -Abbey- stead' turn, so we had to con­ clude that they were further on than we thought. As we crossed Marshaw, thc


first light flakes of snow began to fall and by the tune we reached the Over-Wyres- dale Chapel it had assumed the proportions of a snow­


storm. We could just make out Lee


Bridge in front of us but the rest of the road as it climbed


out to High Cross Moor was lost in the swirling snow. We decided to abandon the


chase for the tune being and make for Galgate and the main road.


Sun That this was the best way


was proved when the falling snow became less fierce and the carpet beneath our wheels thinner. As we turned from Lancaster on to the More- cambe road, the first patch of blue sky appeared and the sun forced its way through. By the time we reached our


dinner venue in Heysham we were beginning to steam as the sun became warmer. As we sat eating dinnei we


decided not to go on to Sun­ derland Point but to try to meet up with the club at tea time. We lingered rather longer than we should have done over dinner, so that by the time we set off homeward it was well into the afternoon.


Fruitless We were using the easy


main road route but it did mean that darkness caught up with us and we rode into Longridgo to find our cafe closed. So much for our chase. On arrival home we were


told that it had all been fruitless anyway, as the early starters, losing their eagex-- ness by Whitewell, had turned back through Little Bowland to Chipping, to arrive home in the early afternoon. Next week wc hope to visit


Victoria Cave at Settle. A short run, only 45 miles. Anyone wishing to join us


will be welcome. Start at 9-30, meals at Stainforth and Bell Busk.

Clilhcroc Advertiser and Times, Friday, January 10, 196# r Gisburn chalk up two more wins


visitors’ excursion into thc Craven Cup. Both teams started as they


continued throughout the game, by playing attractive football with determined tackling' and constructive passing.


For 15 minutes Gisburn


rook control of midfield. Their half-backs put through some dangerous long passes, and it was from one of these that Carter moved on to the right wing and sent across a low hard centre which Walker volleyed into


the net. Undeterred, Hurst Green


tightened their defence and for the remainder of the liaif. gave Gisbum a lot of trouble, bringing Dennett into action and going near on several


occasions. After half-time. Hurst


Green played up the slope and produced their best foot­ ball of the season, keeping Gisbum penned in their own half for long periods. The home side forced cor­


ner after corner, hit the crossbar four times and had three hard shots headed off


tlie line. All their efforts, however,


were foiled by Dennett, who had a great game and did not make a single mistake. In the last minute of the


game, on one of their few attacks, Gsibum scored a second goal. O’Donnell picked up a loose ball on the left and sent in a hard high shot from about 30 yards, which gave Stephenson no


chance. Almost immediately, the


whistle went for full-time to end a match which was a credit to both teams and which had been great enter­ tainment to a large crowd. Tlie game was very well


controlled by the referee, Air. J. E. Swayiie. Teams: Hurst Green:

supreme Chatburn 2, Chipping 5 Chatbum won the toss in


the game against cham­ pionship-challengers, Chip­ ping, and elected to kick


downhill. During the first half hour


the home side was well on top, with Johnson and Bishop


opening up the Chipping de­ fence time after time. Several good chances went begging for Chatburn before Bishop scored from a nor- row ang'e after 13 minutes. The second goal cattle after 25 minutes when Johnson


persevered and rode three tackles before crossing the ball to Holgate A., who had no diffi­ culty in scoring.. Chipping were the next to score frith a somewhat lucky


goal. The ball bobbed around the


goal area before Cookson stuck out his foot and diver­ ted it past a defender, who had had the ball covered. Three minutes later Chip­


ping equalised when Johnson K., failed U collect a cross and left Cookson with an easy chance to score. Mercer gave Chipping the


iead after 43 minutes with a shot that gave Johnson no


chance. After the interval, Chip­


ping continued to show their supremacy and with only two minutes of the second half gone, Procter went through and netted fol’owlng another defensive error. Cookson then completed


the scoring after 65 minutes. P. Freeman. Cookson and
