CLITHEROE had no trouble in overcoming a ra th e r weak Earby side on Sunday. The Clitheroe attack was too


much for the home side, with G. Cartledge claiming four wickets


for just eight runs. Only four Earby batsmen managed to get into double figures. The home side had to make do with a weak total of 112 all out. The Clitheroe batsmen had a

Airedale were relieved to take the point and Chatburn a little unfortunate.
