Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, March 11th, 19S2 17 for Clitheroe Clitheroe 3, Wren Rovers 3


CLITHEROE fought back bravely after falling three goals behind in the first half-hour to earn a share of the points and keep alive their championship hopes.

Clitheroe w e r e sent reel­ ing b y tw o g o a ls in a minute from the reigning champions, who are them­ selves lo oking fa v ou r i te s to retain the title.

Tim Wrennall and Peter Roach were the men on target


just after the quarter hour and in the 28th minute, Rovers’ leading scorer Norman Owers added a third. But Clitheroe came back strongly and just to prove that


i-v


all was certainly not lost, Ronnie Drugan pulled one back after 3(5 minutes, putting a low shot beyond the reach of keeper David Roach after a memorable and determined solo run which took in three quar­ ters of the length of the pitch. The scoreline remained un­

Battling victory over old rivals


Great Harwood Town I, Clithcroe 2 »


TH E scene is set fo r a tremendous George Watson T rop h y f irst round second le g match at Shawbridge on Sunday following Clitheroe’s excellent v ic to ry in the f irst le g at the Showground.


Clitheroe put themselves into a strong position to go forward


• The match had all the fea­ tures' of a typically hard fought cup-tie and neither side gave .any quarter. .


After a frenzied start with •


the game played at a breath­ taking pace, Clitheroe took the lead m the 29th minute with'a real gem. Ronnie Drugan started the


move at the halfway line and John Taylor played "one-two’s” with Eric Geldard and Ian Ash­ worth before going round four defenders and slotting the ball home. Sharpies added, the second


15 minutes into the second half after a good run down the left by Ashworth, but not before


Denis Underwood had pulled off a magnificent penalty save- from former Rovers and Bury


. plaver John Waddington. Great Harwood did' in fact


put themselves back into the tie 20 minutes from time when Peter Karwat headed home, but Clitheroe still managed to register their first victory in eight meetings with their derby rivals over the past three seasons.

Record draws near


CLITHEROE’S 3-3 draw with Wren Rovers on Saturday was their 12th share o f the spoils this season and they need just two more draws to break a club record which has stood


for 33 years. In 1949, the team gained 13


draws in 12 games and the current position this term


stands at 12 from 23, with 11 matches remaining.


Skipper Ashcroft returns


CLITHEUOE welcome back skipper Mick Ashcroft to their squad for this weekend’s im­ portant "double-header” away to bottom-of-the-table Bolton ST in the league on Saturday and at home to Great Harwood Town in the return leg of the George Watson Trophy first round match the following day (kick-off 3 p.m.). Ashcroft, suspended for last


weekend’s games, is named in a 14-man squad for the two matches: Underwood, N. Whiteside, Richards, Davies, Eyles, Sharpies, Drugan, Taylor, Ashcroft, Geldard, S. Whiteside, Ashworth, Easton, Walker. Sunday’s 2-1 win at Great


H a rwood in the Watson Trophy, first leg, stands the Shawbridge side in good stead for a place in the semi-finals and player-coach Garry Easton, speaking in the absence of man­ ager Eric Whalley, said he was hopeful that Chtheroe would win through. "I was very pleased with the


lads’ attitude in the two games at the weekend and the win over Harwood — the first time wo have beaten .them since they joined the league three years ago — was especially


satisfying,” he said. "On Saturday, we should


never have allowed Wren to take a three-goal lead but the team again snowed pie: character in coming Lack taking a point. “We wil* ’

CLITHEROE Ladies Football Club is to operate under the wing o f its "b ig brother” Clithcroe FC from the begin­

ladies' football club secretary Mrs Doreen Euinton said she felt'it would be beneficial to both parties. . “ It will give us the sound


permanent basis which we have been looking for since we started out and hopefully it will also help Clithcroc FC in their, bid for grant aid to fund ground improvements,”

to use the wind to advantage and Briggs completed a hat- trick before Transport pulled a goal back.

West Bradford 5, Read Utd 3


AFTER tKeir shock exit from the Aitken Shield, West Brad­ ford regained their pride with a fine win over the Marsden Di­ vision leaders.


John Waddington’s speculative long shot was drifted in by the strong wind, but Ray Howard, the league’s leading scorer, quickly put the home side level.


•


• Chris Melting gave West Bradford the- lead only for Read to get level again through Michael Campbell. The visitors netted another but the effort was disallowed for offside.


West Bradford were well on


top after the break and Blenk- inship restored their lead, going on to add a good indi­ vidual goal when the ball was deflected home off the line. .


When Ray Howard made it


5-2 it looked all over for Read but they fought back and were rewarded with a goal from. Gary O’Connor.


■ Tins was a good performance by West Bradford against op­ ponents who just would not give up. Referee Mike Hudson m his first season back after injury, had an outstanding game.

Read took the lead when Sabden were in more trouble


lenge on the home ’keeper went unheeded, and Oak took command. H ow ev e r , with Tommy


Bromley as emergency .central defender, Sabden withstood the pressure and held Oak to a one- goal interval lead. Oak continued to be domin­


ant but did not press home their advantage and Sabden came back into the reckoning for a short while. Trevor Pinch, pick of the visitors, put Oak two up and it seemed the hardworking Sabden defence might be swamped. However, Sabden attempted a late flurry but Oak maintained their au­


thority. This defeat dented Sabden’s


hopes of being championship contenders but the villagers


earned credit • for a spirited rearguard action against the odds.

No luck for Cub Scouts


■ THE two District teams of the Clitheroe and District Cub


Scout Football League both lost to South Ribble on the


Castle Field. The A team opened against a


strong wind and were three down in the first nine minutes — thd wind carried a shot from the half-way line for the third. A real trouncing looked on


the cards but by half-time Clitheroe had weathered the storm and were looking for­ ward- to having the wind in


their favour. But luck was not with them


as die wind dropped noticeably after the break. Still, the boys stuck to their task and they had their chances. A shot by Hilton hit the bar and after a superb dribble by Craig the final shot went just outside the post. Eddlcston. in goal, com­ petently dealt with the visitor’s breakaways.
