Season’s best for squash team


EMPRESS produced; another surprise'by. de- feating promotion contenders Park Hall in a thrilling battle of squash.


In the opener Ian


Warren looked well in command when he won his first game but faded to lose 3-1. Glenn Evans at No. 4 maintained his recent form in winning 3-2 but Conor McLaughlin lost 3-1 to a Lancashire over-45 player. Conor took too long to work out an answer to the vet­ eran’s crafty tactics at the front of the court. With Empress trailing


2-1 Mike Heyw orfh started slowly to lose the first game but then draw level. He saved a match point at 9-9 in the fourth but romped home in the decider to level the scores at two-all. In the top match Malcolm Macdonald played decisive and skilful squash to complete the team’s best win of the season and their third consecutive 3:2 victory. Malcolm won 3-1.


Winning ladies


BOTH Empress Ladies’ squash teams regained their winning ways last


week. Empress 1st, playing


away against St Annes 2nd, took a convincing 5-0 victory over a somewhat weakened opposition. The 2nd team secured


their 5-0 win over Roch­ dale with the loss of only


one game. Results: Empress 1st


— Coleen Kendrick won 3-0, Val Fielding won 3-0, Yvonne Greenup won 3-1, Mary Neville won 3-2, Jean Hutchinson won 3-0. Empress 2nd — Carrie


Macdonald won 3-0, Sheila Willis won 3-1, Sharon Willis won 3-0, Marilyn Fletcher won 3-0, Jean- Ann Speak won 3-0.

One game to forget


Broughton Park 4th 22, Clitheroe 1st 6


CLITHEROE will wish to forget all about this game. The defeat itself was a minor point for they had to line up under strength, four men being delayed


by heavy traffic. The re-organised team


made a bad start by con­ ceding two early tries. Their best period occur­ red midway through the first half, the reward being a converted try. Fly half John Coates


began the move by burst­ ing through and giving Christian Hopwood his chance to scramble over, under the posts. U n d o u b t e d l y ,

THE Ribble Valley rep­ resentative team were worthy winners of the return inter-league game with'the Darwen League. Valley moved the ball


well but there was no score in a first half in which goalkeeper Whittle and Lawson served them


well. Da rwen ' had thei r


chances but did not take


them. Aspin put Valley in

striker Graham Walker, who is due to play his first match for six weeks in the reserves on Saturday, will be added to the 13 on duty at Chadderton. The full weekend squad:

SOME SIGNS OF HOPE


THE meeting of Clitheroe Ladies’ Hockey Club and Springfields clearly de­ monstrated the difference between a, team seeking ■promotion and one at the


foot of the table. ’ Springfields, challenging with


Burnley and Preston for Divi­ sion One status,' were faster, fitter and more accurate and more sure of one anothers whereabouts and intentions.


Thev won 5-0. Clitheroe matched them for


the first 15 minutes but having let in a slightly lucky goal gradually had less of the play. Springfields scored a second before half time and afterwards


added three more. Clitheroe did make breaks


out of defence and twice should have scored but were let down


by poor finishing. There were signs of hope.


Clare Mortimer had an excel­ lent game, her skill and deter­ mination more than compensat­ ing for lack of size and experi­ ence. Catherine Hutchinson and Chris Farnsworth played their usual steady games at the back of the defence, but Springfields were in a different


class. , TENNIS


THE tennis section'of Clitheroe Cricket, Bowling and Tennis Club has nearly 200 members it was reported at the annual


tennis meeting. The new season will be


opened with an American Tour­ nament on April 17th. There were more than 30 at the meet­ ing and Mr R. C. W. Bennett


was elected chairman in succes­ sion to Mr R. Chaplin. Other elections: treasurer Mrs J. Hemingway; secretary Mr R. W. Driver, junior representa­ tive Mr M. Hawthorne. New committee members elected were Mrs J; Braithwaite, Mrs R. Seed, Mrs C. Sharp and Mr Chaplin. Three committee members retired and the others were re-elected. New members will be wel­


come and anyone interested may obtain further information from Janet Hemingway at the cricket club.


WHITE HART STAY IN LEAD


Clitheroe’s star, performer was scrum-half Hopwood who at times was his


• side’s main driving force. The match highlighted


Clitheroe’s severe training problems at the present


division opposition and Sta­ tion’s D. Parker won all his three games. However, on ba­ lance, Standen’s all round per­ formance 1 was too strong. In the final Standen B will, meet

AMBITIOUS MOVE


CLITHEROE Reserves will play in the newly- formed North-East Lan­ cashire Football League next season . . . and it is


hoped that a brand new third team — Clitheroe A — will step into their place in the Blackburn Combination. At Monday’s meeting of the


club committee, it was de­ cided to go ahead with the ambitious move into the new league, just a few weeks after it seemed that the Shawbridge club had pulled out of the


now set-up. Chairman Cyril Whiteside


said that playing in the new league would be of great be­ nefit to the club, with many of their Ribble Valley neigh­ bours, such as Waddington, Chatburn, Whalley and What­ ley Arms Celtic already am o n g th e 16 fo u n d e r


members. The foundation of a third


team, which is expected to play on a corporation pitch when Shawbridge is occupied, will also allow player/man- ager Keith Newton to blood some promising young teena­ gers, added Mr Whiteside. ; “The committee decided to


go ahead with plans to join the new North-East Lanca­ shire League but felt it would be a shame to waste our place in the Blackburn Combina­ tion,” he said. “So it has been decided to


form a third team, which will mainly consist of 16-18 year olds to whom Mr Newton, who is very keen on a youth policy, wants to give competi­

VICTORIA had the edge over Whalley Arms Celtic in a game in which the visitors twice fought back


to level terms. Jimmy Colebourne laid


the foundations of Vic­ toria’s first goal which was scored by Steve Tom­ linson, a lead which was ended by Neville Shears replying for Celtic.

chances but in both inst­ ances the ball was put wide of the target. The sequence was repe­


ated early in the second half, David Astin scoring for Victoria and Martin Burton putting Celtic

Peter Stirzaker filled the role of the injured Astin and Colin Elliott was brought into the side. Stirzaker promptly set up Tomlinson for his second goal of the match and then crossed another ball for William Campbell to net Victoria’s fourth. Shears pulled back yet another goal for Celtic. Colebourne in midfield


and Stirzaker played well for Victoria. Shears and Burton were the main front runners for Celtic.

Easy win for Read


Sabden 1,' Read Utd 5


ON a pitch recovering from overnight frost, Sabden offered only token resistance to what is, on paper, the strongest side in the league. Previous meetings have


always resulted in a hard but entertaining struggle. But on this occasion Sabden showed a reluct­ ance to compete for' the ball, which allowed the Read midfield to dominate the play. Early goals by Baxter


and Campbell gave Read a great start which, they were in no mood to allow to slip. Sabden did come back briefly into the game when Balmbra’s shot was only half saved by Wors- ley, giving Davies the simple task of tapping it over the line. After the break goals
