beaten by Concorde 4-1 in a match that was a lot closer than the final result suggested. Their only vic tory came from Robert Fielding with a 3-2 win. Red Rose were beaten
by the second team in a close match. John Willis and Eddie Vidler both won 3-0, while Mike Barrett and George Senior both lost. The decider was won 3 - 1 b y C o n n o r McLaughlin. Although Dave Walters
was defeated in the club's clash with Great Harwood, victories from Dave Mack enzie, Brian Hayward, Wayne Townley and Mike Heyworth sealed a com fortable win for the thirds. Pendle could do little to
contain an in-form fourth team. A 3-1 victory from Barry Hargreaves and 3-0 wins from Richard Bed ford, Peter Thompson and Rick Ashton gave the side a 4-1 win.
