RIBBLE Valley can only blame themselves for this defeat, as they were the better team, dominating the game from start to finish.


off, they put Poulton under a g re a t deal of pressure and it seemed only a matter of time before they scored. It was virtually one-way traffic, but Poulton almost scored from a quick break, onl.y to be denied by some fine goalkeeping b.v Gore.


secon d h a lf , a long desperate clearance from Poulton went straight down field to their centre forward. His first time shot put them into a shock lead. As if spuired on by this, Ribble Valley at last found the net, Philip Bol­ ton squeezing the ball home.


Midway through the


freak winner when, in one of their rare attacks, a Ribble Valle.v defender sliced the ball into his own net. Midfield players Graeme Seedall and John Borland worked hard to salvage a point, but it was not to be.
