CHATBURN’S Ann Driver has been playing at Wimb ledon again.
This time she accepted an invitation from British
women’s manager to play for the under-18 lawn tennis association team against the All England Lawn Tennis Club at Wimbledon.
The opposition included four players in the top Brit

Friends and relations were invited to tea with the
players in the members coveted private room. Prepa rations for the Wimbledon Championships were well under way and security was tight.
Ann enjoyed the experience immensely and is hoping that she will selected again. However, tennis must take a back seat for the next few weeks as Ann prepares to take her GCSE exams.

RIBBLESDALE reversed the result of their senior counter-' parts, and took six points' back to Church Meadow from this junior derbv match at Station Road.
Whaliey batted first, and two
major partnerships, both involv ing Derek Higginbotham, meant that the home side achieved a respectable score. First Higgin-
■ botnam was joined by David Taylor and the pair put on 59 for the fourth wicket. Once Taylor had gone, Lee Burgess contin ued tne good work.
Although the Whaliey total was fair, Ribblesdale never
looked in any danger of failing to achieve it. Alan Dickinson paved the way with an excellent 52 and Alan Parker, John Hutchins and William Bradley helped them to a comfortable victory with seven overs to spare. Whaliey: S. Barker 9, B.

AS the days lengthen and the weather becomes warmer, the rivers start to shrink and show their bare bones. When this happens we fear the dreaded word “ pollution.”
Many people tend to associate pollution with heavy industry and factories, but the most toxic comes from agriculture, and the Kibble and the Hodder arc among the rivers that
suffer. The farmers these days are turning their grass into silage
instead of hay and the juice from silage is many times more toxic than raw effluent. I f this juice is nllowed to escape into the watercourses the results are disastrous for both the fish and the insect life on which they depend. Thankfully, most farmers are aware o f the problem, but
we always have the odd one who, through either neglect or apathy, allows this seepage to occur. A friend of mine, who owns a fish farm, lost his entire
stock last summer after silnge liquor came down the beck which feeds his ponds, costing him thousands of pounds. Unfortunately, the farm responsible was not traced, so no action could be taken against the culprit. This kind of pol lution can set the spawning becks back three or four years when it kills all the fry, parr and adult fish. It’s not only silage we are concerned about, but also
nitrates and phosphates which both the salts fom acids used on the land as fertilisers. After heavy rain these salts arc washed into the rivers. Once there, they encourage the
growth o f weeds and algae which in drought conditions remove the life giving oxygen from the water, leading to fish
morality. Another source of pollution comes from milking parlours,
which arc cleansed with sterilising chemicals. The liquor runs into the surface drains nnd subsequently into the rivers, ugnin causing fish fatalititcs. As anglers, we should be nware of pollution and report any signs as soon as possible. After all, it’s our rivers we
want to protect. It’s a good idea to keep the telephone number o f the
North-West Water Authority pollution officer or the fishery inspector handy, so you can take the necessnry steps when a pollution problem arises.
On my travels around the Kibble Valley I met Melvin .
Swindells, the NWWA fisheries inspector. He told me of the work the bailiffs had been carrying out over the last few weeks, transplanting 60,000 salmon fry into the rivers. There are 40,000 more to come from the hatchery at Middle- ton, on the Lune, and hopefully some parr purchased from a different hatchery.
One careless act of pollution can undo all the good work . . . . . ,
done by Melvin and his team. It must be very disheartening when this happens and unfortunately it occurs too often. It’s nice to see so-many mullards on the river. In the last
few weeks I have found five different nests on the banks of the Kibble, their pale green eggs sitting snugly In the nest
lined with the down feathers of the duck. Looking over the bridge at West Bradford, a duck could
be seen on its nest in the long grass, oblivious to the anglers and walkers passing close by. Before the low water came some good bags of trout were
being taken on both wet and dry puttens, the greenwell's glory taking well ns usual. This month the silvery little salmon smolts are dropping
back down river to the sea. I f you do happen to catch any when out for the brownies, unhook them ns gently ns possi ble, wetting your hands before handling, and return them
bnck to the river. ,01b orOVCr“

after Richard Kawalec had claimed the wickets of his brother John and Australian Paul Watkin. The Read bowlers suffered
some heavy punishment, and had to chase a total of 217. Read's batsmen came under
f ire immediately from an accurate professional, who was having a glorious afternoon.. The iocal side knew they were in troubie when Neil Bradshaw was cleaned bowled by him. Stephen Rushton and Malcolm
Grainger held a glimour of hope, but just could not find their true
rhythm against the bowling of Perry and Bushell. A frustrated Rushton was eventually bowled by Perry, who also had Gary O’Connor caught by Clegg. When Grainger went for 27,
any hopes Read had of a revival were smashed and the home side crumbled to a heavy defeat. Per ry finished with five
wickets for 32, and being only 15 years of age looks to have a promising future ahead of him.

annoying because we never went out just to defend, but I have one or two irons in the fire for next season,” added Dave. Pre-season training
begins at Shawbridge on June 30th, and one or two new faces are expected to turn out, but Dave is keeping his cards close to his chest so as not to alert other clubs. I f things are remaining
the same on the pitch, there are going to he several changes behind the scenes. Dermot Cooke, who resigned from his post as

Dermot a job on the mana gerial side but Dermot, who is widely admired in non-league circles, decided on the Rossendale one instead.
I t looks as i f Dermot

Read 217 for (3, Padiham 114 for 6
HEAD put together a much
improved performance against Padiham at Whaliey Road on Sunday, but had to make do with just three points. The local side were put into
bat by Malcolm Heyworth and received an early scare when Stephen Rushton was bowled by Gary Bolton for 5. Michael Georgeson joined Neil Brad shaw and and coped well with the Padiham attack of Bolton and Dodemaine. This was a welcome return to
form by Bradshaw, who fought hard to get into the 40s and then forged ahead with the help of John Walsh, who lost all his composure and concccded 29 runs in one over. Bradshaw went on to reach 90
before he fell Ibw to Bolton and Georgeson batted well for his 02. Head finished off a good innings with Richard Goouway helping the total on to a impressive 217. In Richard Kawalec’s absence
Frank Newby opened the bowl ing with Gregg Creedon. It was Creedon who struck the first blow when he bowled Gary Ramshead with the score on 21. Goodway took over from

Ribblesdale Wanderers 206 for 4, Whaliey 210 for 2
Ribblesdale were put into bat
and, with the ball seaming viciously, immediately found scoring difficult. Graham Lloyd and Dave Ben- nent worked hard, but could _ only muster 20 runs from 10
cover. Brad Scott was out for four in the 15th over with the score on 21, pulling across the line at Slinger. Light drizzle hud made the wicket lively and batting was a

struggle, with the score crawl ing to 59 for 1 off 30 overs. Things began to look ominous
for Clitheroe. Lones was run out by a Bennett direct hit, and Greenhalgh bowled debut-boy Andrew Robinson, with Tahir Amin soon following. This was the turning point of
the game. Ribblesdale’s skipper Dennett had to decide if was going to change his opening bowlers, who had served him so well but were obviously tiring, or bowl them straight through. He decided on the latter
option, and Dewhurst and the hard hitting Henderson finished
the match with six bowls to spare.

restricted Oswaldtwistle to a still credible 183. For Clitheroe, the father-and-son combination o f Phil and Simon Bishop worked well and both returned successful figures. Clitheroe’s batsmen had to
face probably the best bowling attack in the league and did so with style, determination and plenty of flare. They were cer tainly not disgraced and were in with a chance right up to the last over. Stephen Blackburn (40), Phil
