AGAIN Read Utd 1, Sabden 4


SABDEN reached the., semi-finals of the Aitken Shield for a third consecu­ tive year as the result of a fine team performance that shattered neighbours Read Utd 4-1 in their replay match. . The evenly contested


first half got off to a sharp start with Hayth- ornthwaite hitting a quick goal for Sabden, having returned after absence through injury. Sabden later missed a penalty. Sabden dominated the


second half Davies scored a hat-trick, including two headed goals, and the vil­ lagers’ superiority was emphasised when Balmb- ra hit the bar. Read , who always


sought to push forward, scored a consolation goal through Mick Campbell. Referee Trevor Hobday

with the cares of captain­ cy, John Slinger hit a ,pa­ tient 57 for the villagers and Mark Fallon scored 29. At 109 for 5, Whalley were going well only to lose the remaining wick­ ets for 13 runs all told. Clitheroe professional Andrew Townsley took four wickets in his last two over to finish with 5. for 47 and Rodney Booth had 4 for 33. Clitheroe also straggle


after being reasonably placed at 82 for 4 only to collapse to 99 for 7. The runs had come chiefly from Townsley (38), G. Littlewood 20 and Thorn­ ton 14. Booth then came along with an unbeaten 20 in a brave attempt to win the match, but time ran out with only seven

WITH only two matches remaining in the Ribble Valley Pool Winter season, bptn leagues have a very similar look with Joiners Arms top and the Kings second.


Red League leaders,


Joiners A, started the evening only two points in the lead, but after their victory and the surpris­ ingly heavy defeat of the Lord Nelson at the Com­ mercial, they are now seven points clear. Third-placed Pendle


Witch also lost to allow the Kings A to move up two places into second spot. Hodder, Bridge A con­


tinued in fifth spot and only four points separate, them from the second spot. Blue League leaders


- placed Craven Heifer, but their emergence as 5-2


' winners left them four clear of the Kings B who' bounced back into, second spot with a 7-0 victory at the Duke of York. The Tillotsons dropped.


to third spot, even-though they won 5-2 against Hodder Bridge B, and now trail Kings by one point. Their vital match comes when they visit the leaders, Joiners B . .. Results: Red League —

Another fine catch by Wiseman dismissed Bushell for 52 but Goodway then took over the attacking role hitting four sixes and was only three short of his 50 when Georgeson declared after 34 overs.

CHATBURN .CC have good cause to remember their first- game in the North East Lancs League for an almost incredible


; swing of fortunes gave them victory' in a match that was apparently lost. Accrington OBC are one of


the senior sides in Division One but Chatburn made a steady start on a wet wicket. Opener J. Rowley was the mainstay of the innings as the condition of the wicket deteriorated. Scor­ ing was slow and the villagers were all out for 75. D. Johnson was top scorer with 15 and A. Hodgson helped him to put on 23 for the last wicket.

Wanderers lose to Formby


Ribblesdale Wands 182 for 9 Formby 204


LOSING to Formby in the first round of the Wil­ liam Younger Cup, Rib­ blesdale Wanderers had no cause to feel dishear­ tened. If there was any cause for complaint it was because the 45 over in­ nings resulted in their having to bat in failing light for much of the time; indeed it was just turned 8 o’clock when the game finished. Strength in the- middle order enabled the visitors to set a formid­ able target. There was a stand of 54 for

the third wicket, 74 for the

opener David Cottam to the third ball of the innings, Jack Ainsworth (53) and- Malcolm Dennett (44) put on 89. Neil Duckworth left a run later but Dennett and Paul Seedle (44) saw 116 hoisted. When Seedle left Wanderers were 158 for 6, the light was fading fast and the innings crumbled to a close. Formby: 204 (A. Bryan 61; I. Cocker 56; M. Doggett 34).
