Clayton takes nine wikets


The brittleness of Clitheroe’s batting was boldly


underlined in a game which provided Earby with an easy victory at Chatburn Road on Saturday, despite Clayton’s


9 for 38—his best performance in two seasons with the town club. It was tile professional,


in partnership with Ron Wilson, who helped to save Clitheroe from com­ plete humiliation. They put on 43 after


both openers had gone for only two runs, Bacon being brilliantly caught in the slips at almost grass roots level.


Clayton collected 24 off 54


deliveries b e f o r e Moore claimed him leg before and similarly despatched West- head in the same over.


W i c k e t s continued to tumble. Booth accounting for Ireland and . Vaughton to a c h i e v e a double-wicket maiden. Two fell nt. 45 and two at 46. the others at 55, 61. 62 and finally 74.


Throughout this discourag­


ing episode, Wilson cautiously kept one end intact, scoring only 10 runs in an hour— quite tho right approach in the circumstances. Later, when Booth, from


the road end. lost a length Wilson twice hooked him to leg for- four and began tak­ ing every possible run. He was last out and had the highest score of the innings to his credit.


Mcere was the executioner, with 5 for 14. and at one


period had 4 for 6 in seven overs. Earby owed their reason-

Clitheroe Grammar School


The school 1st XI has


had quite a good season, taking into account that


throughout the season, half the team were aged only sixteen or under. Of 17 games played, seven were won, four drawn and six


lost. Of the matches wen. not­


able victores were against Bradford C.C. by three wickets after being set 155 to win in 105 minutes; against Queen Elizabeth's G.S., Blackburn, by 18 runs— Queen'Elizabeths first defeat hr two seasons—and against Burnley G.S.. who were dis­ missed for 27. The only 'cccasicn the


school were dismissed for less than 50 runs (48). was against a strong Old Boys XI when they suffered their heaviest defeat, by 73 runs. The bowling has been the


strong point of the first XI. the opposition being fully dismissed on nine occasions. The bowling has been


shared mainly between the opening attack of J. Bodcn and K. Boden which although achieving


s ome success,


mainly lacked penetration; and the varied spin of Wail- bnmk, Webster, and Lister, which accounted for most of the wickets. Tile batting apart from


rare individual innings, was never as consistent as it should have been, with only five batsmen scoring over 100 runs, and 198 by D. Lister, being the highest individual total score. The ground fielding and


■throwing, with Ward fielding consistently well at cover, was


good, but too many catches close to the wicket being put down proved to be the issue which swung many games in favour of the opposition. J. Wallbank was captain


throughout the season and D. Lister and J. Bcden were the vice-captains. Colours were awarded to

WANDERERS FAIL BADLY AT READ


Read had an easy win over Ribblesdale Wanderers, dismissing the visitors for 50 in only 18 overs, after


declaring at 128 for 7. Ken Proctor won tho toss


for Ribblesdale and put Read in to bat as it was obvious that the weather would cause some disruption to the inn­ ings of the side batting first. The villagers opened their


account -v. adily, but in Slinger'.i third over George- son fell to a very good catch by Ainsworth at gully. Goodway joined Fairclough


and despite two interruptions for rain, they kept the score moving along nicely. Both batsmen had their


share of good fortune, par­ ticularly against Metcalfe, but dealt severely with any loose bowling. At 72, Fairclough was out


in identical f a s h i o n to Georgeson and was replaced


by Tatton. Together, he and Goodway took the score quite quickly


MOTHERS PRESENT PRIZES


Three records were set


up and one equalled at R i v c r s m e a d School Sports. The day was marred by heavy thunder rain and a few events had io be held over until next


term. Winning houses were: boys,


Benedict; girls, Lister, Pupils gaining most house


points: Senior boys, Fred Smalley; girls, Ruth Hit- chen. Inter boys, Donald Har­ greaves. Junior boys, David Stoddart; girls, Iinda Wilkin­


son. New records were estab­


lished as follows: High jump: Ian Howard, 5ft.


lin. Long jump, girls: Ruth Kit­


chen, 13ft. 9lins. 220 yds. junior boys: John


Handley 32.5 secs. 220 yds. junior girls: Linda Wilkinson, 32.2 secs, (equalled


record). The trophies were pre­


sented at tiro last assembly of the school year by Mrs. Smalley, of Boltcn-by-Bow- land and Mrs. Stoddart, of Grindleton, in recognition of the interest they take in their children's athletic skills. Also awarded were th e


to 106, when Goodway be­ came Ainsworth’s third vic­ tim, this time off the bowling of Metcalfe. The Ribblesdale over rate


was very slow and Read lost further wickets in a chase for quick runs with Tatton being 25 not out when the declara­ tion came. Bowling unchanged, Met­


calfe and Slinger finished with 4 for 48 and 3 for 66 respectively. Ribblesdale never at any time seemed c a p a b l e of


reaching Read’s total and the innings was a steady procession with no batsmen reaching double figures. The opening attack of Tat­


ton and Waddington was quite hostile on a wicket which caused the ball to come through at varying heights. Waddington took 3 for 24


including two caught-and- bowlcd. in a spell of seven overs before being replaced by Goodway. Professional Paul Tatton


had tile misfortune to have two relatively easy chances put down, but still finished with 2 for 18, while Goodway took the last three wickets for seven runs. A very satisfactory win


for Read which kept them in striking distance of the joint league leaders. Read

driver, a very nice bloke and when he didn't answer on the second time of screaming 'fire' I thought perhaps he’s sulking, thinking I ’ve thrown my fag end in his petrol tank and him only having had the car a fortnight. To dispel my doubts a message came via the Telepathic sec­ tion, “Driver in state of emergency, only essential services operating.” It was obvious Derrick didn’t want to indulge in comic replies like. “Yes, I lit it when the lights went out”, or any other superfluous comments.

if ever you light one in the middle of nowhere at half past midnight, people will fascinatingly appear out of thin air to stare in a hypnotic trance. This occasion was no exception; mind you, by now it was blazing like a coastal beacon warning of the Nor­ man invasion.

players who were sent off towards the end of last season have been disci­ plined by the Lancashire Football Association. John Behan, who was sent


off by referee Mr. N. Berry in a league game with White Lions, was ordered to pay £2 and was suspended for 14 days from September 7.


Graham Davies was also


fined £2 and suspended for 14 days from the same date. He was dismissed from the field by referee Mi'. P. Dauber in a league game with Kings Arms.

. OCCASION


: On the first Saturday of the holidays the three boys of the Clihoroc Royal Grammar School cycling team travelled with their parents to join the rest of he com­ petitors in the National Schoolboy Championship ‘ 10’ promoted by the South East Midlands D.C. on a course near Northampton.


The day was warm and


sunny with a headwind to the turn, and all the sages were


nodding their heads and say­ ing, “ the fastest to the turn will win", and for once they were right.


Bob Downs, of Lain don


Comprehensive, pushed his 84 inch-fixed out in 13 min­ utes 5 seconds., 18 seconds faster than the next best, and then steamed back at a near 30 m.p.h. pace on a road which dropped 112 feet back to the finish. With 23-55 he. was the only

promotion, tire eighth York Rally ‘25’ over 121 miles of rolling countryside via Skip- ton and Easingwoid. Like the boys the previous day we had


.a headwind to the far turn which took most of the steam out of us long before we turned for the fast dash to the finish.


Fastest was Brian Haskell


■rider inside 24 minutes and was duly crowned champion. M. Chadawey, King Edward, Birmingham, 24-14, was sec­ ond and R. Edwards, Sondes Place Secondary, 24-18, was third. The champion team was sondes Place Secondary in 1-17-53. Fastest Clitheroe Royal


Grammar School rider was Iain McKnight with a time of 27-9, the other two mem­ bers of the team, newcomer John Meadows and tan Man-, both returned identical times of 28-55.

almost 31 minutes sloiyer than tire time by thcC.R.G.S, te am in last year’s title event. On tho following morning I

SEASON’S WORST DEFEAT


Waddington Suff ered


their worst defeat of the season when they were d i smi s s e d for 31 by


Oswaldtwistle. Of Waddington’s batsmen,


only opener Robinson showed any resistance to the bowling but found no support. For Oswaldtwistle, J. Field­


ing had an exceptional per­ formance with figures of 7 for 12. five of which were cleaned bowled. The match seemed as if It


would be a “walk-over” for the visitors, but they lost six wickets, four and two falling to Trotter and Taylor respec­ tively, until Fielding, appro­ priately enough, reached the target with a boundary. Waddington t N. Robinson
