RIMINGTON farmer John Lund won the World Stock Car championship in front of 20,000 fans at Manchester Belle Vuc stadium. He had already won the British Driver’s Championship, but he felt that his work committments might hamper next season’s challenge.


The golden touch


THE Willman family had to make other arrangements for keeping clean when dad brought home his record-breaking each and kept it in the hath. The 5ft. (iin. ling was caught 20 miles off the coast from Whitby and, with it weighing in at 50lbs, John’s catch was a new Yorkshire record.


Murray Walker reports


ONCE again the Ribble Valley’s sportsmen and women excelled in 1987, putting in the sort of performances of which the whole area could be proud. The cycling scene


was once again domin­ ated by the Gornall family, who gained a new member when Sue married Alan.

Clitheroe Royal Grammar School pupil Tom Ellacott was only one tenth outside Peter Elliot’s 1,500 metres English schoolboy’s record when he won the Lanca­ shire Championships.

Rovers fans travelled to Wembley to see them finally lay to rest the ghost of 19C0 when they carried home the Full Members Cup.
