Long shot knocks Clitheroe off victory course


Fleetwood Town 1, Clitheroe 1


CLITHEROE’S road to victory was blocked by a 73rd minute Fleetwood goal some might have described as fortuitous and others as a gem.


The visitors were on


course to end a dismal record of defeats at Flee­ twood’s Highbury ground when Denis Underwood punched a long cross out of the penalty area. The ball fell perfectly for Flee­ twood full-back Arron Hunt whose first time vol­ ley from 30 yards sailed over the stranded keeper and defence and inched under the crossbar. The goal brought Flee­


twood right back into a m a t c h C l i t h e r o e , desperate for title hunting p o i n t s , h a d b e e n controlling. The home side suddenly


looked dangerous and forced a string of corners


Clitheroe could look back on several missed chances after they had taken a 31st minute lead.


The goal came from Paul


Beck who made no mis­ take from the penalty spot after Gary Butcher was brought down by Flee­ twood keeper Armfield.


Up until then, the Clith­


eroe d e fen c e , which in c lu d e d G r a h am Dewhurst in place of flu victim Chris Chisholm, had coped well with Flee­ twood’s attacks.

rivals Rossendale United. Rossendale’s good runs


in the FA Vase and N'WCFL Cup have left them facing a serious fix­ ture pile-up and “double header" weekends are the only solution to clearing their remaining 23 league games before the season’s end.


The match kicks-off at


2-30 p.m. and Clitheroe will host the return fixture a fortnight on Sunday, h o p i n g


f o r a


better-than-average gate. Sandwiched between the derbies will be a Shaw­ bridge f ix tu r e with Glossop.


That match will see the


likely home debut of Earl Thompson. The big striker, who was signed after 14 months out of top- level non-league football through in ju ry , has pleased officials in his two games to date yet came in for barracking from Clith­ eroe fans at Fleetwood on Saturday. “It's very disturbing,”


said chairman Cyril Whi­ teside. “People are trying to compare him with Mul­


len and Taylor. “The thing is he’s a


totally different type of player. We’ve altered our style completely since he joined us and are hitting long balls for him to knock flown for Beck and Bar- row. I think the system

has worked a treat so far. He’s not looked like scor­ ing, but the other two have been very lively, feeding off him," he said. “Thompson has done


well so far and can only improve. He’s not yet fully fit and needs five or six games to settle down pro­ perly in the side. I hope our supporters will realise this and give him a bit of support.” On the transfer front, a


former Clitheroe player is set to rejoin the club this week. The defender/mid- fielder, currently with a NWCFL Club, is expected to sign before the week­ end. Clitheroe are also showing interest in a highly rated striker. Rumours that Paul


Round had left the club were quashed when he appeared for the reserves on Saturday and scored twice in their 5-0 win over Read United. On Saturday they travel to Trawden w i th R ou n d a g a in expected in the line-up. The annual Clitheroe


FC Whitbread Sports Quiz commences on Sunday in the clubhouse and runs for the coming seven weeks. Last year’s winners, Cox and Co., will be defending


their title. Entry forms are avail­


able at the White Lion H o te l and D aw son s Greengrocers.

CENTRE-FORWARD Craig Taylor hit a hat-trick to help Chatburn gain a comfortable


Aitken Shield win. Chatburn made a flying start


against fellow Division Two team Waddington when Darren Finch shot home after good work by John Hodgson. The match became a little

good work after the break when Taylor nodded in his second


goal after a Hodgson shot had rebounded out off the bar. The hat-trick was completed from the penalty spot and John Kirk scored a consolation goal for Waddington before Paul Breth- erton completed the scoring with a well-hit shot from the edge of the area. Chatburn: Johnson, McCar-

Old documents details big money deal


THE fiftv-year-old con­ tract for the “big money” transfer of one of Clith­ eroe Football Club’s early stars has come to light. The document details


the move in March 1935 of Clifford Chatburn from Shawbridge to Blackpool. Mr Chatburn, who died


last July, had been with his town team for five years when Blackpool, then of the Football League First Division, “swooped” for him. Clitheroe earned the


princely sum of £230 from the deal, with the promise of another £170 if Mr Chatburn was re-signed


the following season. Mr Chatburn, m


f a c t ,


stayed with Blackpool for a couple of years before moving briefly to Burnley and then back to Clitheroe where he completed his playing career. Mr Chatburn, who went


on to become Clitheroe Mayor and a county coun- c i l lo r , also achieved notoriety in the sporting world as a talented ath­ lete. He won many medals and trophies and the con­ tract for his transfer to Blackpool was found among them. The document, which is signed by the Blackpool


Early goals seal points for leaders


Clithcroe Reserves 5, Read United 0


A CRICKET score looked likely for East Lancs League leaders Clitheroe when they went two up in the first five minutes. Phil Ashworth scored


the first with a suspicion of offside and one minute later Geoff Young headed in a cross. The Read d e fen c e


played well, particularly, their goalkeeper, and Clitheroe could only add a headed goal from Paul Round to their half-time


lead. In the second period,


Young scored from the spot after Mark Darcy had been brought down and then Round headed per­ fe c t ly past the Read

Victory


SECOND DIVISION W.haljey Celtic moved into the last 1(1 of the Aitken Shield with a solid performance against Sabden.


Celtic inflicted the damage on


their first division opponents in a in-minute first-half spell when they scored three times.


The first goal came from


Peter Daman who tricked his wav into a good shooting posi­ tion before firing home from 20 yards. Steven McCullough added the second from close range after an unfortunate goal kick had left the Sabden defence wide open and then Shaun Side- bottom beat two defenders before scoring the third.


Celtic sat back in the second


half, but despite having much more of the play, Sabden could only score through Nigel Ware- ing’ in the 70th minute.


The home side's experienced


'keeper Andrew Ronnan was rarely troubled and his faultless performance spread confidence throughout the Celtic defence. As well as Ronnan, in good


form for Celtic were Donald Porter. Kevin Ainsworth and Ian Wareing. In the Sabden team. Ian Boocock, Paul Wray and Dennis Balmbra gave 100% effort. Whallcy Celtic: Ronnan,


Ainsworth, Porter, Bargh, Shaun McCullough, Elliott, Fletcher, Wareing, Doman, Steven McCullough, Sidebot- tom. Subs: Smithson, Nield. Sabden: Schofield, Boocock,

Seven-goal thriller

CLITHEROE’S second half re­ vival narrowly failed to salvage


a point. The home team started


promisingly but were 3-0 down at the interval. Vicky Ash­ worth (2) and Wendy Kawlin-


son pulled the score back to 4-3 and Clitheroe went close to snatching an equaliser.

Work was only recently


completed and has already proved a su c c e s s in attracting more people to the club.


"One of the reasons for

off its new lounge bar to local dignitaries at an open evening on Monday. Ribblesdale Wanderers

us because the social com­ mittee is so successful every function here is sold out." Work is due to start


soon and be completed before the end of the cricket season. The club is I also planning to improve its cricket changing rooms and bowling hut.

Luck holds for new pair


A NEW car and a new partner brought more good luck for Clitheroe rally co-driver John Meadows, on the National Breakdown Rally last weekend. Insurance broker John, of


Hawthorne Place, with Scottish driver Andrew Wood, took a works-prepared Opel Manta 400 to a splendid fourth overall on the Yorkshire-based opening round of the British Open Championship. Former Stonyhurst man, Ian


Springers, also lost 1-4. John Willis won 3-2 but Eddie Vidler, Mike Bar­ rett, Robert Fielding and Dave Knight were all


defeated. The 3rds, at home to


Pendle 4ths, won 4-1. Rick Ashton, after a barren patch, won 3-2. Dave W a lte r s and George Senior won 3-1 and John Beggs triumphed easily by 3-0. A slightly out-of-form Dave McKenzie went


down 1-3. The ladies 1st team,


Grindrod co-drove another Scot, Jimmy McRae, to 11th overall in a Lancia Delta. The tough rally ended in dis­


appointment for Sawley driver John Morton. John, of Rabec House, was back home on Saturday night, his Subaru motor having developed electri­ cal faults after 14 stages.


away to Manchester Northern, lost 1-4. Sharon Wi ll is won 3-0 for Empress. Sheila Willis and Sue Beggs had long matches and went down 2- 3. Marilyn Fletcher lost 1- 3 and Anne Cowking was defeated 0-3.
