Peter’s divine inspiration


Rosscndalc Utd Res 3


IN his first game for over 12 months, Peter Devine showed that he is still a force to be reckoned with. A horrific car crash in Corfu


effectively finished the career of the ex-BIackburn Rovers and Burnley striker, but he still dominated what must rate as one of the best games of the season seen at Snawbridge on Tuesday night. The large Shawbridge crowd


must have thought they should have stayed at nome when the kick-off was delayed for 20 minutes because Ciitheroe had fo^otten their kit! Things got worse as Clitheroe


McKie’s inswingmg corner against the bar, and Green had the simplest of tasks to hit the ball in from a couple of yards.


After the interval, Jones


played the ball to Devine, and he set Barker free. His cross was inch-perfect for Paul Jones to nod in. Rossendale came back when their centre forward ran through the Clitheroe defence and smashed in his second goal.

Clitheroe's goal, was often in the action but seemed capable of keeping the opposition at bay. His best save came when he spec­
