He’s the champion


\ C L ITH ERO E ru n n e r Paul


Livesey battled over 20 miles of Merseyside roads to win the county championship at Kirkby on Saturday. For Paul, 117-year-old works


manager at Ribblesdale Cement, it was his first county championship in 25 years of competitive running. He has taken part in the champ­


ionship race for the past three years. Paul, of West Bradford


Road, trains by running on roads around Clitheroe. He is chairman of Clayton Harriers, which he jo in e d a s a sch o o lb o y in Accrington. His next test comes on Saturday


when he defends the club champ­ ionship he has held for three years. The main threat will prob­ ably be from former Olympic marathon runner Dr Ron Hill, who has rejoined the Clayton club, but has done most of his club running with Bolton Harriers.


Cross-country captain


WADDINGTON athlete Michael Morton is se t to captain the


English junior cross country team in Saturday’s World Champion­ ships at Glasgow. On Sunday, Michael (18), of


Queensway, showed the rest of the field a clean pair of heels in a 3,000 metres race at Stretford. Michael’s time was eight


minutes 24.2 seconds and his recent leg injury caused him no trouble. Meanwhile, Michael has just


celebrated a year’s sponsorship with John Turner’s sports outfit­ ters, of Castle Street, Clitheroe.


Punctures set them back


DESPITE four punctures and a broken suspension, Slaidbum rally driver — John Thompson finished 10th in the weekend Dukeries


Rally. It was run in 24 stages over


disused airfields and Forestry Commission tracks in Nottingham­ shire and attracted a field of 142. It was on the airfield that John,


of Dunnow Lodge, hit three major setbacks in his Ford Escort with up-graded 1700cc. BDA engine. While up with the leaders the


car struck a rock which holed two tyres — a major problem as John and his navigator, Neil Calvert, were carrying only one spare and were out of contact with their service crew, Peter Lawson, of Mount Pleasant, Slaidbum and Tommy Porter, of Burnley. However, they were able to borrow a second one from a rally


marshall. They had two further punctures


on the airfield but the service crew was on hand to help out and the pair finished 10th overall and third in the 1600-2000cc. class. Later, when dismantling the car


they discovered they had been driving with a broken suspension


leg. John, who is sponsored by


Philips Electrical, came second in last year’s RAC Clubman Rally and hopes to take on some top international competition this


season.


Chatburn shock for league leaders

Cricket club has ‘eye on future’


INCREASES in members’ subscriptions at Clitheroe Cricket, Bowling and Tennis Club will no longer be controlled by the annual meeting.


Instead, the executive


committee — which includes representatives from all


sections — will have the power to introduce future rises, without seeking the


approval of members. During a discussion on subscrip­


tions at the club's annual meeting, members suggested ways to combat inflation, which last year pushed the club’s expenditure from £5,523 to £8,892. In his first report as secretary,


Mr Stephen Dawson said members had not made enough use of the club’s social facilities, even though the bar profits last year realised


£4,336.Mr Dawson referred to the £22,000 Job Creation Scheme at the club. The tennis paviilion had been erected and the extension to the viewing area near the bar had


just been started. Among other improvements in


the pipeline are an all-weather pitch and a landscaping project at the “town end" of the Chatbum Road ground. This will involve a new wall around the ..perumeter and the planting of trees on a grass


verge parallel to the wall. Describing the club as "ambi­


tious and with an eye to the future,” chairman Mr Ken Barnes said that if members wanted a club to be proud of - with suitable facilities - then they would have to work to raise the money. Of the cost of £22,000 for the extensions . and improvements, the club had to find £7,000. Social events must produce more money, he Mid. Mr Barnes referring to the sign­ ing of Tasmanian all-rounder


Francis Wooley as the dubs professional said that hopefully he


would bring success on the mckrt field and this, in turn, would draw in more people on the social side. New subscriptions rates will be.

Away victory


AIMING to retain their unbeaten league record, West Bradford Ladies’ Hockey Club have a formidable task against second- placed Leyland Motors in the last game of the season at Church Meadow, Clitheroe, on Saturday. West Bradford collected two points in their final away game at


New Longton. The appalling conditions proved


a g re a t leveller because the contest did not reflect the gap in the league placings — top and


nearly bottom. W e s t B rad fo rd attack ed


throughout the firs t half but managed only one goal, a cross from the right being pushed home


at dose range. New Longton managed to


attack more in the second half. The visitors’ defence had trouble in digging the ball out of their circle but a second goal made two points safe and that was the only consolation in a thoroughly unen- joyable match.

WHALLEY Anns Celtic FC are looking forward to an Irish weekend. Tomorrow evening they will welcome the Dublin side Ever- ton which is of Blackburn Combi­ nation Premier Division standard. The dubs will play a friendly on the Brockhall hospital ground on

Last-minute victory for Henthorn

inevitable until Henthom netted the winner in the final minute. The game was a ding-dong affair


E x tra time seemed almost


with both sides pulling out all the stops in an effort to qualify for the


final. Preedy gave Ribblesdale the


lead with a great shot but Henth­ om gained midfield control and Conti put them level. The same player surprised the home defence to give Henthom a half-time lead. Ribblesdale then built up a great


deal of pressure but were held at bay by John Peel and Bialecki. Both sides attacked in turn.


Taylor slipped when well placed for Ribblesdale and Preedy missed a good chance to level the scores. Henthom pressure paid off when Tony Bush broke through and put the ball narrowly just inside the


post. Henthorn, it seemed, were


undoubtedly going to win but Preedy and Johnson put Ribbles­ dale back on terms at a late stage and extra time became a distinct possibility. However, Henthom surged forward and gained a free kick. Harrison ran over the ball and John Peel crashed it home. There was only just time to line up before the whistle went. So Henthom finally prevailed


and Ribblesdale bowed out with honour.

CLUBS in the Ribble Valley Foot­ ball League will set out on the Aitken Shield trail on Saturday.

RESULT Sabden 3,


TWO cautions were given and a player was sent off in iu. hard- fought game that ended with each side justifiably earning a point. For the third successive match


Sabden had to field a weakened team and Clarkson (P.) made his


debut on the right wing. Games between Sabden and


Celtic always have that extra “needle” and this one was no diffe­


rent. Sabden pressed hard from the


start and gave the rough-tackling Celtic defence many anxious


moments. Celtic, however, eventually


broke away and Foster scored with an angled drive. Sabden fought back and equalised with a well-taken free kick by Bromley over the defensive wall to completely deceive the badly- positioned goalkeeper. Titterington restored Celtic’s


lead but Balmbra replied with the best goal of the match, finishing off a great move executed by Wray, Whitweil and Clarkson. In the second half the soft

AS the score indicates Clitheroe RUFC did not have it all their own way. Both scores came from a


penalty plus a try. Clitheroe soon felt the opposi­


tion’s experience, especially in the pack where they were pushed back for the first scrums but managed


to recover. Vale took a first-half lead with a


penalty for offside, an area where CUtheroe were constantly caught


out. Then, with a penalty directly on


the Clitheroe line, the Vale scrum half dived over the line to give his side the additional six points. S p e irs kicked a penalty for Clitheroe just before half time to bring them within reach of a win. Clitheroe later regained some of


their previous zeal, Rudd and Parkinson made some tremendous runs down the touchline. Parkin­ son had a try disallowed for rolling the ball over the line. Clitheroe eventually scored


their try when Vale tried to take the short line-out — Peacock inter­ cepted the ball and ran 20 metres to the line, with Speirs gaining two points for the conversion. With 20 minutes left, Clitheroe gave an exceptional performance but for no further reward other than retaining their unbeaten record over the last five games.


Empress press on

Great win by Rangers

A GREAT win by Rangers keeps them in touch with the leaders of Blackburn Combination, Division Four. Rangers pressed from the start Keighley hit the post, and the lead was taken when Bulcock n e t te d d u r in g a goalmouth


scramble. Unfortunately, Bulcock was


injured in the process and he had to make way for substitute


Ashworth. Rangers played some good foot­


ball and only fine goalkeeping prevented their going further in front. There was no further scor­ ing before half-time despite Fox and Macintosh going close and Fort, who had worked hard in midfield, was only narrowly wide with his shot. County turned round in an attacking mood, only to be held at


middle found Macintosh who headed on for Ashworth to score from close range. As Rangers worked hard to increase their lead, the game began to get out of hand and several players were spoken to by the referee. Hosty and Fort were associated
