ied on clubs who are res­ ponsible for late kick-offs


and fail to report these to the General Secretary'. Another problem lias been


■he application of the new marking system for referees, are reminded that be given of 10, as


Clubs


ii:eie marks must :ro:n a maximum


a;;o the markings for the Creenbank Shield. These marks arc extremely impor­ tant. not only to the referees, but also the League if it is to retain "feeder league'1 status. Another important point


about referees is the question o; ices. This was held over by the management committee .2 the A.G.M. as it was understood that a directive was being sent out by the


football Association. How­ ever this is still not forth- (omins, and it is felt that some action must be taken very shortly to bring fees back into line with other sen­ ior leagues, and a special con­ sideration must be the dis­ tance that officials have to travel.


One point to be noted


regarding match officials is that a player named as a substitute by a club cannot also take oil a linesman’s duties.


The management commit­


tee were disappointed that tile proposed Youth Division did not get off the ground,


n r . .


but it was considered that a minimum of eight clubs was required to form a new div­ ision. and not enough clubs with the required facilities came forward. However, the League have entered the LF.A. Youth Inter-League Competition again this sea­ son, and are looking forward to a more successful run this year as more under-I8 play­ er- become available, especi­ ally from the expanding res­ erve division. The first round of this competition does not


take place until January 23rd, but early nominations are requested in order that all players can be vetted.

The senior team have an


excellent record in these rep­ resentative matches, with only one defeat in 10 seasons. Another representative game is being planned to play the Liverpool Combination, who are itching to get their own back for their defeat at Bloomfield Road.

Three fine goals put Clitheroe


in second round An unexpected victory over Fleetwood by a sur­


prising margin entitled Clitheroe to meet Penrith in the second qualifying round of the F A Cup. I t is not uniair to say1 that, on paper, Clithcroe's chances


of defeating the highly placed Northern Premier League club were slim, despite the encouragement of having beaten the hitherto unconquered Accrington the previous Saturday. But in sport, as in other


spheres, luck is not always on the side of the strong And Clitheroe did have a big help, ing of luck. There were some frantic moments when the goalmouth seemed sheeted by blurred golden shirts: on the other hand, Fleetwood con­ tributed to their own downfall by some incredibly bad fin­ ishing. So Clitheroe had some luck.


But there was no element of luck about the three goals they got; few better will be seen at Shaw Bridge this season and by virtue of these, plus the fact that resolution never wavered, even in the most dire circumstances,


They turned round with the


advantage of a goal scored in the sixth minute. Worden crossed the ball from the left and Wilson smashed it home from 30 yards. Later there were good


efforts by Worden and Ken­ dall during a period in which Fleetwood exerted consider-, able pressure. Towers had- plenty of work but was never, lacking in courage. However, it became abund-l


tion was a Cooke penalty goal in the last two minutes. In general, this victory

game with Bolton School, Clitheroe Royal Grammar School had to be content


j to share the points. The first half saw the

ward, Kendall and Worden co-operated in giving Tomlin­ son a chance with a header which the keeper managed to gather and just before half­ time Coppack forced his way through, refusing to be bundled off the ball by two defenders. Kendall failed nar­ rowly with an overhead kick. In the opening minutes of


the second half, Clitheroe were under almost ceaseless pressure. Fleetwood were clearly bent on quickly level­ ling the scores and would have done so had Kirk not cleared off the line. When Clitheroe attacked,


Tomlinson hit a curving ball just wide and then the visi­ tors' left half stuck out a foot to deflect a Kendall rocket' for a corner. Fleetwood frittered away a


number of good chances, Morley failing dismally with a simple header. Their passing was much improved but they made the mistake of persistently attacking down the middle, where there was least chance of success. After 75 minutes, Clitheroe


went further in front. Tom­ linson heading home the out­


side left's cross. With ten minutes to go


Worden set the seal on suc­ cess with a goal he could hardly believe. The long diagonal high


cross from the side line was clearly intended for the ever- hovering Coppack but the speed and the direction car­ ried it into the far corner of the net as though drawn by a magnet. That the keeper stumbled while moving to intercept was


. no detraction. "Goal" was ■written all over the ball the moment the winger booted it. Significantly this was the


first time in the game that Worden did not fall into the error of trying to beat the

■the fish to start working over one of the patches of bait, giving the game away by sending up a large patch of widely spaced needle-like bubbles. During tile course of the

CRGS 3, Preston 6th 3. A late goal robbed


Clitheroe Royal Grammar School of a point when they had Preston 6th


Form College as visitors. The School quickly went


into the lead and were two up after 20 minutes. Comp­ ton provided the first goal when he latched on to a through ball and steered it ■past the advancing keeper. A bad back-pass gave Purves the opportunity to round the keeper and shoot into an empty net.


Preston pulled one back


before half-time and equal­ ised early in the second hair. School, however, were soon ahead again when Wright, playing in only his second game shot them into tho lead.


Shortly before the final

Waddington have big problem


Waddington FC, who play


in Division 1 of Blackburn Combination, report serious fixture difficulties. Secretary Cyril Whiteside


reveals that the have not had a league game since they met Brinscall four weeks ago. Their next game is tomorrow week, against Hoghton. Tile reason is, say Wad-


ington, that despite being given an open date, oppon­ ents have been drawn in the preliminary rounds of vari­ ous knock-out competitions. While Waddington are kick­


ing their heels, other clubs have completed four or five league fixtures—"a most de­ pressing state of affairs that unsettles the players"—but there is nothing the club can do about it.

First defeat for Chipping


White Lions 3, Chipping 1 Despilc being a goal


down alter only 30 sec­ onds, White Lions equa­ lised on half-time; two more goals early in ihe second period inflicting the first defeat of the sea­ son on Chipping and giv­ ing White Lions their


fourth victory. Chipping went into the


lead straight from the kick­ off: R. Freeman pumped a free kick high in the White Lions’ penalty area and Cook- son outjumped the defence


to head home. After this sensational start


both teams settled down to produce some good football


though the home defence and midfield players generally held the balance of power. Richards and Foulker were


both prominent in building up attacks and. as a result White Lions equalised just before half-time. Foulker took a corner on the left and Briggs darted to the near post to flash a brilliant header past a startled de­ fence.


Constant Lions’ pressure after half-time brought the


just reward of two goals with­ in a minute. The first was the result of another Foulker corner. Brown heading in from point-blank range. Soon afterwards, Grime picked up a ball on the half-way line, took it down the right wing and cut in to score the best goal of the match with a powerful drive from the nar­ rowest of angles. Sonic ‘‘needle'1 crept into


the game and the referee who in general controlled the game very well had 3iis book out to several players fol­ iate .tackling. Good saves by Graham


Atkinson prevented White Lions from increasing their lead. Foulker and Richards had


a notable game for White Lions, and R, Freeman and Mercer for Chipping. Teams: W h i t e Lions-


Whittaker: G.eelan, Potter; Grime, Chatbunii, Foulker;


Brown, Richards, O’Donnell, Briggs, Seedall. Substitute: Chadwick. Chipping- Atkinson; V.

Defensive errors costly


Kings Arms 1, White Lions 2 The game started at a


fast p a c e with White Lions doing most of the attacking. They could have been two or three goals up in the first half but for some


f i n e saves by


O'Neill. Only goal of the half re­


sulted from a. bad mistake by the home defence which al­ lowed Briggs to go ’through on his own and slide the bait past the advancing (keeper. Later, Kings Aims came


more into tho game and they equalised arcuild t hr e e - quarter time. A long high ball down the middle was headed on by R. Peel to Robinson and he shot homo. White Lions appealed vain­


ly for offside but after con­ sulting the linesman, ithe re­ feree, Air. P. Dawber allowed the %oal. The game was evenly ba­


lanced after this but another error by the home defence gave Seedall the opportunity


■to hammer the hall into the net. Minutes laler, with the


light failing rapidly. Mr. Dawber had no option but to abandon the game ten min­ utes from time. Outstanding f o r Kings


Arms were O’Neill. J. Peel and Precdy. with Briggs. Gee- lan and Richards playing well for White Lions.


Low Moor score seven


Low Moor club 7, Whalley 1. Whalley- newcomers in


the Cliihcroe and District Amateur Football League,. sustained a mauling when


they visited Low Moor Club.


The game was well played


on a well grassed pitch but an uneven surface made control difficult. The homo side dictated .the


play almost from the kick­ off. Pressure was such that the visitors were penned in their own half. Their goal was under constant siege. Low Moor scoring five times in the first half through Bradford (2). Upton, Wil­ liams and Kerr. Whalley re­ plied with one, scored by- Wilson in a breakaway. Whalley began well after


the re-start but tired as Low Moor built up pressure. Wil­ son got another goal for them but the heme side col­ lected another couple through Bradford and Kerr. Low Moor fielded u full-


strength team for the first time, resulting in a. greatly- improved performance and ithe margin of victory would have been much wider had the forwards taken all their chances. Outstanding for Low Moor


were J- Bradford at centre- forward and A. Fitzsimmons, inside left. For Whalley. D. Foster a.t inside forward. Teams: Low Moor—N.


Allen: M. Bibby, P. Parkes: I. Johnson, H. Upton. .T. Warden; P. Kerr, A. Fitzsim­ mons. J. Bradford, T. Grain­ ger. D. Williams. Substitute, A. Hitchen. Whalley: T. Fitzpatrick:


J. Kenyon, M. Latham; S. Houghton, D. Whalley. K. Ainsworth; R. Wilson, Y. Bonvicki. D. Foster. J. Barge, T. Clarke. Substitute, A. Barnes.


Chances were


missed


Bowkor Bros. 1, Kings Arms 4 Although Kings Arms


had the advantage, of an early goal. Bowker Bros equalised right away. The equality was short-lived, however, for Kings Arms scored three times in ten minutes. After the interval, Bowker


Bros played much better but missed several chances. A. Scott was the most outstand­ ing player on the field and completely blotted out the visitors’ attack. Referee Leach controlled the game very well.


Nester scored for Bowker


Bros, with Bishop, R. Peel and Sims (2) scoring- for Kings Arms.


Bowkcr's best, players were


Scott an d Evans: Kings Aims best were O'Neill, Aspin and Robinson. Teams: Bowker Bros—


Loynd; Duxbury, Evans; earcc, Jeffries, Scott; Aspin- wall, McLean, Nester, Par­ sons, Bergman. Substitute— R. Taylor. Kings Arms: O'Neill; Har­


greaves. Aspin: J. Peel, Robin­ son, Freedy: Bishop, Tittcr- ington. R. Peel, Ward, Sims. Substitute—Pye.


Sub sinks Grindleton


Grindloton 3, Cliamurn 4, Defences held the upper


hand during the curly stages but after a Chat- burn attack had been repelled, McCleon out­ smarted Grindleton by nipping in an d scoring from a ball that was being allowed to roll to


■the keeper. Spurred by -this success,


Chalburn mounted a num­ ber of attacks but failed to achieve a break-through and ulitimately it was Grindlc- ton who scored next, appro­ priately enough as the result of a defensive lapse. Clayton was tho marksman. Chalburn hit back and


collected two quick . goals, but just before- half-time Buchanan reduced Grindle- ton’s arrears with a penalty goal. After tihe resumption,


Cliatburn had the advantage of--the slight slope but Grindleton still managed to get on level terms. A cor­ ner on the right led to a goalmouth melee and Buch­ anan pushed the ball home for his second goal of the match. With 15 minutes left,


Chalburn brought on Dew- hurst as subsitute for the


injured Read and he grab­ bed tho winning goal.


Grindleton were well served by McKenzie and


Turner: Chalburn by Law- son and Smith. Their scorers being Holgate, McLean (2) and Dewhurst. Teams: Grindleton—G.


Bennett; J. Cowell, J. Ben­ nett: D. McKenzie, B. Jones, P. Turner; B. A. Jones, K. Clayton. T. Rudgyard, B. Buchanan. K. McNally. C h a t b u r n — Jonhson;

Lan<dio win friendly


Waddington 2, Langho 3 An own goal by Wad­


dington centre-half Benson in the first minute of the second half gave second division Langho victory over their first division opponents in this friendly


game between the two Blackburn Combination


clubs. Both teams used 13 players


during the course cf the game, Langho giving trials to McAtiley and Ball while Wad­ dington. tried out Berry, Scott and Puzon, the latter giving an impressive perfor­ mance at centre-forward. Waddington also brought


on Dinsdale in the second half for his first game since being injured 12 months ago. Williams, who played for the reserve team last season, kept goal in the absence of Bow­


den. Waddington took tho lead


in th e opening minutes. Puzon- scoring with a left foot shot. Langho found the homo


defence in a tangle after 20 minutes and although there was ample time to clear, Jump was allowed to score. Whittaker restored Wad-


dington’s lead with a good slo effort, Puzon and Ross proceeding to hit the wood­


work. Five minutes from half­


time, Langho equalised with a header from Hacking, to be


followed after the resumption hy the unfortunate own goal


that proved -to be the decider. Waddington pressed hard


for an equaliser but failed despite the efforts of Puzon and Whittaker. With five regular players


absent, Waddington need not be disheartened by the result and a pleasing factor was tire form of Ireland at full back. He had an outstanding game. For Langho, Sargent and


Best showed good form and with a. little more cohesion the village side could well be serious promotion challen­ gers. Teams: Waddington-—Wil­


liams; Rigby, Ireland; Lund, Benson, Berry; Stoddart, Ross, Puzon, Yates, Whit­ taker. Substitutes—Scott, Din­ sdale. Langho—Sergeant; Best,

But there is no dispute


between Wilf and the club. He made that perfectly clear at his home this week. “Bum- ley ha.ve been great with me,” ho said, “my regret is that I am leaving them at such a difficult time."


Wilf has been released, from his contract by the club


and is to study geology at the Universit of Aberystwyth. ' Later moves will be decided when ho has finished his three-ear course; ho could possibly go into industry or teaching.


He possesses three A-levcls


and seven O-levels in the General Certificate of Educa­ tion. He will be 21 on Sunday week, and his leaving Bum- ley does not mean that he has finally severed all connection with football.


Burnley manager Jimmy


Adamson explained tho back­ ground to tlio latest shock.


He said: "Wilf first men­ tioned during the summer .that ho would like to go to university. We rate himhighly at Turf Moor and I persua­ ded him at that time to give football another 12 months. But he has made a fresh approach and the club have now decided to release him from his contract while re­ taining his registration of course. “It is as simple as this. We


approved Wilf’s application for release purely because we felt it was a genuine applica­ tion and that he really earnestly wanted to change his career. “We have no desire what­


ever to keep hold of a boy who is not happy with foot­ ball. And clear! he has not been enjoying his game with thoughts of this possible change in his mind. “This is a big blow, particu­


larly at this difficult time. He is a very useful player. But I would stress that there has been no row or anything like that and Burnley wish him a great future in his n ew field.” Wilf, a “quiet man" of


soccer, did well to fight back from a broken leg to win a place in the 1968 FA Youth Cup winning side. He played dn every game on .the way to


. the trophy and was later con­ sidered an able enough defen­ der to play in the League Cup semi-final play-off against Swindon in Decem­ ber. 1968. He has made six First


Division appearances and this season was an ever-present


in the Central League until Saturday.
