Whalley;


openers in century stand


Settle 109, Whalley 133 for 5 dec.


WHALLEY : continued their undefeated run with a good win at the expense of Settle, after a sporting declaration. Snellgrove and John Slinger


feutured in an opening stand worth a century and with the professional later taking five economical wickets , the Craven club were left to pon­ der the wisdom of putting the opposition in after winning the toss. W h a l le y a re a much


improved side this season and indications are that opponents are tempted to put them in and leave the options open. . . to get the Station Road side out and then knock off the runs or put up the shutters and go for a draw. It does not necessarily work out that way. On a wet pitch and with a


slow outfield the Whalley openers found scoring' dif­ ficult; boundaries were few. Two hours’ batting produced only 100 runs and both open­ ers got themselves out in attempts to Speed the flow. Subsequent men were sent in with orders to get runs or get out and sthe result was that Whalley declared at 133 for 5, able to claim the extra overs if necessary and setting their hosts to score 108 in 2V4 hours to qualify also. Galpin and Marshall caused


few problems for Settle’s Agar and Foster and were eventually replaced by Smith and Snellgrove, who bowled unchanged. Foster was first to go, the


own actions, going down the wicket once too often to> Snellgrove and being smartly run out by the professional. Afterwards, wickets fell


breakthrough being made by stumper Rushton. Realising that Agar wascertain to make his ground,'he threw down the wicket at the other end. Agar got.himself out by his


steadily as Settle, realising they were behind the clock, had to make sacrifices and it was le f t to Slinger and Andrews to produce a late flurry of runs. Eventually the stage was ■


reached where Settle needed only seven runs and Whalley one wicket to be able to claim. Whalley got the wicket, and the points as their reward for


a good effort. Whallcy: Snellgrove c Horn b

GARTH SUTCLIFFE . . . 6 wickets for 28


which were all maidens, there were seven fielders around the batsman, but Seedle and Sutcliffe held out against the odds. Ribblesdale had mainly


themselves to blame for the result. They batted too long in reaching 147 and-only had time for 32 overs which, even on the good bowling wicket, was insufficient to dismiss the Clitheroe side. Wanderers’high total was


thanks largely to the middle- order batsmen Ian Johnson and David Cottam. Put in to hat, Ribblesdale were struggl­ ing at 46 for 5 when these two came together, only Ken Proc­ tor (14) and William Lamb (20) having made double figures. After a cautious start, they


hit out strongly to put on a partnership of 67 for,the sixth wicket before Johnson was caught by Oldham off Gee for 51.


Cottam (31) joined him in


/ The home side looked well on the way to a trouncing when, with 10 overs to go, they were nine wickets down and more than 80 runs behind Ribblesdale.' But Clitheroe tail-enders John Seedle and


. Garth Sutcliffe dug in and prodded their team to what


could be called an undeserved ■ draw. For the final six overs,


the pavilion 29 runs later and


that was virtually the end of the Ribblesdale • batting. Sutcliffe was by far the best' Clitheroe bowler, taking six wickets for 28 runs. Only a fortnight ago, he dismissed five Ribblesdale batsmen in the Ramsbottom Cup. If Ribblesdale’s early order


b a t t in g le f t much to be desired, Clitheroe’s was even worse. Only Graham Davies (41) from their recognised batsmen managed to reach double figures. ' The collapse began with


Neil Duckworth being out first ball, caught by profes­ sional Keith Oliver off Keith Taylor. Then with the score at 8 for one, Mick Oldham was caught behind the stumps off Oliver without scoring. The professional took the


next two wickets in consecu­ tive balls, having Gee caught by Cottam at short square leg and removing Ken Barker’s leg stump. Davies and Gordon Dixon


to go, for a draw and thanks t6 the determined batting of Seedle (11) and Sutcliffe they achieved their objective. Ribblcsdule: W. Workman Ibw


staged a recovery, putting on 25 for the fifth wicket before the latter was trapped lbw by Johnson. From this point Clitheroe had no option but

Padiham humble the champions


Padiham 62 for 3, Read 61.


PADIHAM'S seven-wicket victory over Read made the champions look a very ordinary team indeed and only those who regularly see them play will know what an off-day this was. It was a match Read will quickly want to forget; for Padiham it was a victory to savour . . . at least until Saturday when the teams meet again.


For a time, Padiham have


been in Read’s shadow as the villagers notched up successes in the league and Ramsbottom Cup. But on Saturday the home side looked confident from the start and certainly played belter than Read. Win­ ning the toss, they put the visitors in and by four o’clock had bowled them out. The less said about the .

Read batting the better, only two players recording double figures. These were Mike Ranson and Richard Kawalec but neither looked settled and they received little support from the remainder of the team. At 29 for 5 Read were in


desperate straits but they struggled on tQ reach 61 all out. It is not easy to analyse the failure of such a poten­ tially strong batting side. All players are allowed an off-day but it is unusual for them all to have one in the same match. T h e a n sw e r l i e s in


Padiham’s bowling and field­ ing. The la t te r was tidy, chances offered were taken readily and the team looked a le r t and enthusiastic. The


bowline was steady rather than devastating, apart from a few loose deliveries from Hanson and these received


their just deiserts. However, it must be rare in


any class of cricket for a bowler to return the figures of 11 overs, 10 mridens, five


runs, six wickets. These were th e rem a rk a b le re su l ts attained by Padiham profes­ sional’ Richard Rodger who played a large part in dismis­ sing Read so cheaply. ' Psychologically, his method


of bowling just wide of the off stump c ertainly had the desired effect. It resulted in frustration and indecision which completely -mesmerised tiie Read batsmen. Thus the end justified the means; all credit to the bowler for both method and execution. With only 62 runs to make


and plenty of time in which to g e t them, Padiham played sensibly, waiting for the loose ball. Read djd not bowl badly, bu t three, difficult chances went down on a day when they needed lobe taken. The


■ home side lost three wickets in passing Read’s total, but they never seemed to be in trouble, and with two succes--


sive victories must be brim­ ming with confidence. Read: D. Hindle, c Gee b Rodger

A,GOOD team performance made Clitheroe worthy vic­ tors over Baxenden and qual­ ified them for the semi-finals of the Ramsbottom Cup. Clitheroe elected to bat on a


very difficult wicket. The ball bounced unevenly . . . . some­ times it never lifted off the ground. They made an uneasy start,


losing Davies and Oldham for 14, but Duckworth and Dixon staged a recovery by putting on 40 before the former was next but,at 56 for a personal contribution of 35, including a couple of sixes. Even so, the Outlook was


not too good for a limited overs game. However, Dixon kept his head and batted soundly for 17. The fireworks did not start


until youngsters Seedle and Hall came together. They put on 37 for the seventh wicket, with Seedle hitting five fours in his 26 and Hall a couple of boundaries in his unfinished 11. The last three wickets fell fo r only five ru n s and Clitheroe finished with 121 with the last of their 32 overs in progress. Then it was the turn of the


Clitheroe bowlers and .they could hardly be praised too much. Birch opened and bowled his allotted eight overs in one spell, taking 2 fo r 17 . with Seedle at the other end claiming one for 17. Sutcliffe took over from


well making the ball shoot through and finishing with 3 for 15 in four overs. If the Clitheroe fielding had


Seedle and gave further proof, if it was needed, just what a reliable bowler he is.. Ho returned 4 for 20 in eight overs. , Hill also bowled extremely


Gt. Harwood were unable


to field a full-strength team but the replacements (aged 13 and 14) certainly did not let them down, being unbeaten at the close, though over 100 behind Read’s total. The home team batted first


and made an excellent start with 53 on the board before the first wicket went down. Ranson joined Hindle and they almost doubled the score before the latter was caught by Woolley off Thompson for 67. His innings contained some powerful forcing shots, several of which were limited to singles by a widespread defensive field. After his departure, two


fur th er wickets fell before R anson was bowled by Thompson for a useful 32 with the score at.123. This brought together Goodway and M. Grainger and once again the run-rate accelerated.


• Both men had their share of good fortune but they.gave a sparkling demonstration of running between the wickets, adding 69 before the overs were completed. Their suc­ cess was.such that they scored from every single ball, except one. Thus, at teatime, Read - were 192 for 5 with Goodway ’ 54 not out and Grainger 21 not out. . Gt. Harwood’s young open­


ing bowler Crisp, showed promise and Thompson also bowled well, but the ground fielding left something to be desired. Against a close-set field and


on a wicket that was not easy for batting, it appeared from the outset that Harwood felt the task beyond them. Within eight overs they lost three wickets and this caused them to withdraw even further into their shells. Very little attempt was


been slipshod in previous weeks, the opposite applied in this game. Davies took a par­ ticularly fine catch at slip, off Birch. Baxenden were all out in 28 overs. Clitheroe: G. Davies c Deasey b

Red faces There Were red fates for Padiham


and Barnold6wick in the Ribblesdaie Cricket League's LawrensOn Cup competition on Sunday. ‘ The respective second elevens


were due to play each other at- Padiham in the first round. But on a r r iv a l ' a t the. AVbories, Bar- noldswick discovered that their hosts had gone to Victory Park, so off they went back home, passing Padiham. who had also decided to return to base. Both teams "were well and truly "stumped” and a new date.will have to be set. Only Clitheroe 2ml of the local


■ clubs remain in the competition. . - They had no trouble defeating * BBCV*2nd at Chatbum Roipl. Whal- . ley met Old RossCndalians and Inst

made to hit boundaries, which was the only way to improve the scoring rate and it became increasingly obvious that, while they might manage to survive, the Harwood bats­ men had no ch an c e of approaching Read’s total. Only two players made double figures and it' was left to the youngsters Birchall and Crisp to show a little more enter­ prise in the final overs. At the.


dose, Gt. Harwood were 70 for 7 and well beaten. For Read it was a good win


which should restore their confidence for the league and Haig Cup this weekend. Inci­ dentally, Read meet Moorside of the Lancashire and Che­ shire League in the Haig Cup, not Walsden as reported last week. Read: D. Hindlei c Woolley b

IN contrast to the previous week’s event, Clitheroe Hom­ ing Society’s race from Fareham proved to be a really tough one for the 344 birds: liberated at 10-10 a.m..in a light south west wind. All the society’s previous


races have been fast but on this occasion most of the fan­ ciers had a long wait and there w e re s t i l l many-empty perches at nightfall. Kevin Chew lost his novice


status by winning the race, his bird being nearly 60 yards a minute faster than the next, covering the 217 miles in ■under five hours to win by a good distance.. Billie Frankland, still show­


ing good form, took second place and Harry Lofthouse third. Jim and Billy Scott took fourth spot. Arnold Speak chipped in with another one. Gordie Graham and Jim Wrig- Iey were first among the lodge-side lofts, with Harry Chatburn and George Cow- perthwaite on the West End side being next. Franny How- arth appeared on the sheet for. the first tipie. Eddie Jones continued in form by taking 10th spot, with Alan Parker taking the last two places to fill the sheet.


( Results: K. Chew, 1284.96: W.

Mangotsfield attracted-an entry of 434 birds from 40 members. It proved to be a real flyer, the


first, bird taking two hours 45 minutes and recording a velocity of 1766 yards a minute. George Cow- perltiwaite topped the list with a good bird that was nine yards in


front of Tonv Sieezkowski. Harry Lofthouse maintained his
