Children sample a town school
MOST schools choose France or Germany or somewhere abroad for an exchange visit but Tosside decided on . . . Black burn. And they discovered

dressed in Victorian clo thing to take part in a lesson from that period. Later each pupil chose a project to pursue and some of the Blackburn pupils’ mothers showed now saris were fitted. On April loth a class of
the town children will be visiting Tosside to see how a country school works. On the agenda is a trip
to a farm and a talk on how the school was in th old days by retired head mistress Mrs Vera New house. Retired teacher Mrs
Mary Wilson will take them on a nature trail and the husband o f Mr Glenda Lees, the present headmistress, will give craft lesson.

Miserable visit to Poulton
Boulton 5, Kibble Valley (1
A DISASTROUS two- minute spell for Kibble Valley just before the break changed the course of this Lancashire Prim ary School’s Cup tie. The visitors looked in
command for most of the first half. Sweeper Joshua Metcalf was very impres sive and the forwards were unlucky not to score on several occasions. But just as tin* half
looked like ending all square, a sliced clearance fell into the path of a Poulton forward who took his chance. Straight from the kick-off a hopeful punt forward sailed over the Ribble Valley 'keeper to make it 2-0. Two more goals early in
the second half sealed Ribble Valley’s fate and
despite giving their all a continuation of weak fin ishing and dogged defend ing prevented any scores. A breakaway goal just
before the end gave the scoreline an even more flattering look and added to Ribble Valiev’s misery. Kibble Valley: Vizzard,
