On Saturday, Clitheroe allowed league newcomers


Wigan Rovers to domi­ nate a scrappy game and woke up only for the last 20 minutes to salvage their sole point from the holiday programme. Clitheroe made a shaky


start to Monday’s game. But they subdued their rugged opponents and deservedly took the lead five minutes before the


interval. Fullback Gordon Walker


joined the attack, only to be brought down in the box and Glen Wright confi­ dently stroked home the


penalty. A f t e r th e b r e a k ,


Clitheroe allowed Whit­ worth to take over. Martin O’Loughlin, Mar-


tindale and Simpson cashed in on atrocious marking in Clitheroe’s defence, although home substitute Peter Woods quickly pulled back a goal. In what was at times, a


physical game, Whit­ worth’s McHale and San­ derson were booked as was Clitheroe’s Wright. Against Wigan Rovers,

Clitheroe had to thank manager Ray Hobson for saving a valuable point. He notched a 63rd-minute equaliser to cancel out a fourth-minute effort from Wigan’s Rimmer. But again it was a match


Clitheroe really ought to have won, with centre half John Lawson in outstand­ ing form. Indeed, Mr Hob­ son could only reflect on what might have been. “We’re playing better, but throwing away chances,” he said.


Clitheroe’s squad for


both games was: Ellis, Staines, Lawson, Hink- sman, Gillibrand, Walker, Haddock, Wright, Eyles, Woods, Worrall, Fyldes, Curry, Hobson.

the season. Some 350 birds, entered by 34

16 local challengers in a n e x h i b i t i o n a t Clitheroe Social Club, Wellgate.
