Batting collapse


ends title bid


Grent Harwood 165, Whalley 156 for 9


WHALLEY’S title chal­ lenge came to an end at Great Harwood when they could only take one point from a close match. Harwood were put into bat


and, despite an early break­ through by Brian Brown, moved on to 66 for one. Tony Wright then dismissed Wilkin­ son for 32, but Adams made a solid 81 to boost his side’s total to 165 all out. Mark Fallon bowled very


well for Whalley his off-spin bringing him nis first five wicket haul for the club. Whalley made a splendid


start through Rick Darling and Paul Macintosh, who put on 72 before the pro. was caught for 41. It looked plain sailing for Whalley, but when Fallon was bowled* for 16 the innings col­ lapsed. Macintosh fell for 61 and,


despite some brave hitting by Brown. Whalley finished on 156 for 9. Great Harwood: P. Allen b

performances of Ian Austin, the 19-year-old in his first season sts a professional. "He has done a grand job for us,” commented Billy. “We knew he would score runs, but his 55 wickets have been a real


chairman Mike Booth echoed the skipper’s sentiments. "We could not have had a finer pro," he said. “He’s a hell of cricke­ ter and a nice bloke to boot. A


great credit to the club." “Billy Slinger’s part in this


should not go unnoticed either. He’s got a never-say-die at­ titude and has captained the side wonderfully well,” Mike added. A big crowd tunied out at


Chatbum Road on Saturday to see Clitheroe take on Bamold­


swick. The highlight was a superb


century by Grant Jordan who hit 13*4 from 130 balls after Clitheroe had been put in to bat. Supported by Austin (41) and Neil Duckworth (36) he helped his side to a command­


ing 217 for 3. The Bamoldswick reply got off to a snail-like start and


after 21 overs stood at 43. With Austin rejieatedl.v beating the bat, the visitors were content to play out time. Frustration grew as the match went on and nine Clitheroe bowlers were used in a vain attempt to prise six points from Bamoldswick. As it turned out, three points


were su f f ic ie n t to give Clitheroe the title and cap, what is probably, their most successful season. Jubiliant skinper Billy'Sling­

Reserves’ defence shaky


Keighley Green 2, Clitheroe Reserves 5


CLITHEROE were flattered bv a scoreline which failed to reflect their struggle against lowly opposition in this East Lancs fixture. Defensively they looked


shaky and after taking the lead through Simon Whiteside gave away an equaliser after a mis­ take by Steve Green. Eric Kinder missed a penalty


before Whiteside and Neil Baron scored to give Clitheroe breathing space. They ex­ tended their lead after the in­ terval through Phil Dewhurst and Mark Heves but began to struggle when Alan Haydock had to In* substituted. Keighley Green nulled a goal


back when Andy Holden drop- iK?d a simple cross, and could nave scored more but for wast­ ing chances. Clitheroe: Holden, Leluiga,

Haslingdcn 2, Henthorn United 1


HASL1NGDEN opened well in this Hvndburn and District Umler-16s League match and put the Henthorn defence under a lot of pressure before scoring.


Simon Taylor had to pull off


two good saves in the Henth­ orn goal, but after the break, the visitors began to improve and equalised through Gary Ward. Slichael Frankland went


close for Henthorn liefore Has- lingden snatched the _ winner with 15 minutes remaining. Henthorn still have vacancies

plav mainly during the week, Arthur will be available at weekends, but O'Neill has no immediate plans to include the 21-vear-old in the Clitheroe team, seeing the signing, simply as cover for injuries or further suspensions. The same applied to the


emergency signing two weeks ago of Eric Potts, the former Burnlev winger. Potts, himself, admits' he is a long way from full fitness and. with Beck now available again and Steve Mullen due back at the start of October, he is unlikely to appear for Clitheroe. A team coach to Saturday’s

that saw Clitheroe at their worst, the match sprang to life after the interval. Gary Butcher opened the


scoring in the 56th minute, fas­ tening on to John Taylor's through ball and beating the goalkeeper from 15 yards. A minute la te r the Taylor* Butcher combination worked again, this time Taylor’s left- wing cross being headed home at the far post by Butcher.


In the 62nd minute. Butcher


returned the favour, supplying a cross that left Taylor with the simplest of chances to head home. After three goals in six minutes, the 200-plus crowd were looking forward in antici­ pation to more goals as Clitheroe’s football shone as warmly as the September sun­


shine. It was not to be as Clitheroe


relaxed and for the umpteenth time this season conceded late goals. Once again they showed their vulnerability at free-kicks as Dave Smith placed his shot wide of the wall and of Denis Underwood in the 73rd minute.


Nine minutes later a scram­


ble in the Clitheroe goalmouth, caused mainly by a poor clear­ ance from Alan Byrum. came to an end with Andrew Ford stab­


bing the ball home. Despite the late ji t te r s ,


Clitheroe held on to win two valuable points which keep them in touch with the league


leaders. Until that final 15 minutes,


the Clitheroe defence had looked firm. The midfield gave a much belter performance in the second half than in the first. John Bowman played reasonably well and Clive Dunn, as *a makeshift centre- forward, gave Netherfield plenty of problems.


Clitheroe’s men-of-the-match,

Late goal for Transport


West Bradford Reserves 0, Transport 1


CHANCES were kept to a minimum in this Division Two match by uncompromising de­


fences. Transport proved the more


jmsitive side in the first half but some last-ditch tackles kept


them at hay. West Bradford crept into the


match after the interval and a Case shot and Blenkinship header were excellently saved by Transport ’keejier Fisher. T ran sp o r t finished the

stronger and finally found a way past Waddington with a close range shot from Fletcher. West Bradford: Waddington.

)2 Gareth wins in style on


French tour


GUINDLETON cyclist Gnreth Morris (19) has re­ turned home after a successful five months* racing in


France. The former Rowland School pupil had a glittering


season, taking part in races varying from criteriums __small circuit races around town centres — to 100 mile road races, including mountain climbs, such ns the Col d'Aubisque. seen recently in the Tour de


France. Gareth, who won several races and finished in the


first six in no less than 12 other events, is pictured with the many trophies he gained.


He was sponsored to ride for the club Oloron FC


and during his stay was based at Oloron Ste Marie, a small town in the Pyrenees.


Next year Gareth hopes to gain more experience by


visiting America, which is emerging as one of the leading cycling nations.


A WEAKENED Read side went down to defeat in this Ribble Valiev League Division


One game. The welcome return of Dean


Halliwell. who proved to be the best player on the field, could not inspire Read sufficiently, although the scoreline flattered


Kiinington. Training for the Read squad


is taking place at the Hyndbum Centre on Thursday evenings and will also commence at Gawthorpe School a week on


Monday. Homing


IN Clitheroe Homing Society’s last young bird race of the season, the homing pigeons were set off from Plymouth, on Sunday morning. Eighty birds conqieted and


the first home, some seven hours after liberation, belonged to S. Robinson and Sons (1,072


vards per minute). Second was \\. Chatbum (1.033). and third was A. Waring and Sons (1,030).

Mixed results in the Manx International


THERE were mixed results for Clitheroe and District Motor Club members competing in the Manx Interna­


tional Rally. F o r Stonyhurst co­


driver Ian Grindrod the event spelt heartbreak. He and his driver, Scot­ land’s Jim McRae, needed to win the event to cap-


. ture the British Open Rally Championship. But th eir Metro 6R4 de­ veloped engine difficulties and dumped them out of the rally after 21 tests. There was frustration


also for Well Terrace in­ surance broker John Meadows. He and Welsh driver Harr}* Hockly had already made sure of the British Open Champion­ ship 1300 class for Group A cars, winning the crown


in their works’ prepared Vauxhall Nova with a fine placing on last month’s Ulster Rally. On the three-day Manx


event they wanted desp­ erately to complete a suc­ cessful season with a top 10 result. This was not to be, however, as a series of mechanical “gremlins” beset the car, leaving them 15th overall and second in class. The brightest news for


the Clitheroe club came from member Cyril Bolton in his privately entered Presspart Metro 6R4. After an inspired drive


he finished in seventh place, his best ever result on the island. A further Clitheroe member, Ken Skidmore, finished 20th overall in a Talbot Sun­ beam 1600.


Scores from Clitheroe fairways


WINNER of Division One of the Singles Medal at Clitheroe Golf Club was John Hartley who carded a round of 81-12-69. G. McCally (83-12-71) came


second after a three-way play­ off with A. Taylor (81-10-71) and P. Shaw (76-5-71). Division Two was won by M


Fearnhead (79-13-66). Second was M. Dawson (82-14-68) fol­ lowing a play-off with A. Barlow (83-15-68). B. Mulligan (91-28-63) won


Division Three. Clitheroe golfer Clive Barlow scored a hole-in- one while on a winter league outing at Bingley St Ives,


Bradford.


Youth Cup goes to


Clitheroe


Ribblesdale Wanderers U-18s 101, Clitheroe U*18s 163 for 6


CLITHEROE clinched the Ribblesdale Youth League’s Brian Morris Cup after a 62- run victory in the final on


Sunday. Good knocks by Chris Seed


(40), Paul Rushton (28) and S. Amin (47) took Clitheroe to 163 for 6 from their 36 overs. The best of the Wanderers bowlers was pace-man Leigh Herbert who took 1 for 9 from eight overs. Dean Braithwaite (28) top-


scored in the Wanderers reply, but after reaching 76 for 3 the Church Meadow team began to struggle. Paul Rushton posed the moat problems, taking 5 for 16.
