Wayward attack is punished by Read


Kibbicsdalc Wanderers 111, Read 212 for 8


READ recaptured their form to demolish Ribblesdale Wanderers at Church Meadow. Batting first, Read got


off to a flying start after being put in by Malcolm Dennett. The opening overs from Gordon Leach and Ian Britclife were too wayward for Stephen Rushton, who raced to 44 from six overs, including


one 6 and eight 4s. In the seventh over, he pulled


at the wront' ball and skied a catch to wicketkeeper Ian Threlfall. Michael Georgeson and Neil Bradshaw kept the


score moving and, at the half­ way stage or 22 overs, the score stood at 122. With a massive total looking


possible, Martin Grcenhalgn replaced Leach to slow the rate down, but at the other end Alan Dickinson conceded 32 runs in his first three overs. When the bowlers eventually


found a length, the wicket sliowcd signs of life. Dickinson had Georgeson caught in the —n., by (Trecnhalgh for 30 and s

Tame draw for Clitheroe


Blackburn Northern 2M for 5, Clitheroe 151 for?


THIS top-against-bottom clash ended in a rather tame draw.


Blackburn Northern deserved


their three-point winning draw, but Clitheroe were not in any great danger of being beaten. Northern, this year’s surorise


side, were nut into but. Clith­ eroe hoped to extract some early fire from the wicket, but it behaved impeccably, playing fast and fiat, with the notorious


Pleckgate slope providing enough movement to keep the bowlers interested. Rodney Booth, on his return


Bradshaw caught behind after reaching his hmf century. Dick­ inson also removed Malcolm Grainger and Richard Goodway while Gary O’Connor was bowled by Greenhalgh. From IGS for G, Granville Pill­


ing and John Waddington took the score past 200. Greg Creedon found the


bounce of the wicket to his lik­ ing and struck in his first over when Ribblesdale professional Graham Lloyd ton-edged the ball to square leg. Lloytl is scor­ ing plenty of runs with Lanca­ shire 2nd XI but is struggling to reproduce the same form for his club side. Creedon soon had Dennett in


difficulty and he was dropped in the slips before he oftered a similar chance to Rushton. Dave Bennett was well caught by " “ ’ ivli


deep trouble at 35 for 4. Paul Sccdlc tried to hit his


way out of trouble, reaching IG before being bowled by Wad­ dington. It was left to Jack Ainsworth and Greenhal^ to attempt to save the game. They addeil twenty runs before Ains­ worth was deceived by Gary O'Connor, and when Greenhalgn was beaten by Frank Newby, Read had victory In sight. Creedon returned to demolish


the tail and clinch six points for the visitors.

reply began soundli/, but floun­ dered with the middle order batsmen. Bryan Lones and Neil Ashworth coped comfortably with Northern's opening attack and even inflicted some damage on Sample’s first spell. Professional Lones miscalcu­


lated a delivery from Ronnie Walton and was bowled for 28. Peter Jones, Northern’s resi­ dent leg-spinner, was then introduced to the attack and turned the ball sharply. It was Jones’ bowling, helped


by a more accurate second spell from Sample, that kept Clith- eroe’s batters tied down. They did not hit the ball hard and long enough and eventually fell victim to the pressure to score quick runs. With six wickets down and 87


runs required from seven overs, Clitheroe decided to play for the draw. Roger Banks and John Bowden then found little diffi­ culty with the bowling and played some handsome shots. What exactly this game will


tell us about the Ramsbotom Cup semi-final between these two sides remains to be seen. Clitheroe will take satisfaction in the fact they had a good look at Northern’s first choice side, without exposing all of their own.

LFA honours for Keith


AFTER 30 years at Clitheroe Football Club, Keith Lord has received the Lancashire Football Associa­ tion’s highest accolade — the long service award.


This means that his name will


go Into the member’s directory order of merit. The award fol­ lows closely the FA’s order of merit award presented to Cyril Whiteside two years ago. and evervone with any knowleilge of Clitheroe FC will agree the


award to Keith is thoroughly deserved. Keith was Clitheroe’s trainer


for 25 years after spending his first couple of years on the club committee. He has many memories of the town’s players, such as Peter Baines. Alan Bush. Brian Parkinson and Tom I’ inder. "My favourite player was


Bernard Wallbank, a forward who came to us from Soutlniort when they were still In the toot- ball league.'’ said Keith. "I also remember Stanley Mortenson turning up at Shawbridge with Lancaster City. He said that if you could ;>Iay in the Lancashire Combination, you emihl play anywhere.” Keith has many memories of


certain games, but there were two that iinniedlately sprung to mind. The first was the amazing


I.<ancashire and Cheshire Cup semi-final at Winsford. Clith- eroe, apparently coasting to vic­


tory at 2-0, lost their cool and hail Brian I’arkinson, Mel Wid- dup and Jimmy Birkett sent off. finally losing 3-2. The other game was several

The result will count

Fiona is a member, gained revenge on Rossendalc. 'rhey had won all five cate­ gories last year, by defeat­ ing them 3-2 with a sixth event being dniwn. The standard of ski-ing


was very high and com))et- itive and this was certainly the most exciting match ol the season so far. The under-12 event was


tied at 27 points each, allowing the Pendle team


to maintain this season’s unbeaten record. After winning one relay


each, Pendle lost the decider, thus allowing the visitors to draw level. Pendle won the ladies’


event by 29-24 and many of the individual races were lost or won by a mat­ ter of inches. Again tliere had to be a deciding relay, which Pendle won. 'I’hey also won the open by 29..') to 24..') after several photo finishos. The under-K) event was

At the moment Steplien

The success Stuart and


Stephen are enjoying in the Scouts’ challenge has been forged from hours of practise and an extremely lucrative first year in tho B r it ish Canoe Union Under-14s Championship.


The sporting jiair joined


the championship, which takes them to rivers all over the country, when it was four races old. This, although a setback, cer­ tainly did not impede the battling youngsters, who between them elinchetl the top two positions in the final table.


Stuart finisheil as cham­

Shaun on course for race title


CLITHEROE'S Shaun Livesey once again prodneed a tremendotis performance to claim second place in the Buckclen Pike fell race.


This was the fourth


British championship event o f 1988 and the course coveretl four miles of the Yorkshire Dales, including a l.GOOft. ascent. Among the 278 starters was the cream of the Brit­ ish fell racing talent.


Shaun finished second to


the current British Cham­ pion, Scottish interna­ tional Colin Donnolly. Shaun’s fitness level is not in doubt as he led right from the start and was the clear leader at the summit


of the pike. Unfortunately, he was


eventuall.v caught and passed on the final steep descent by Donnolly, who produced an unbelievable feat of ilownhill running to close a gap of more than too yards. His pace was so fast that last year’s recortl o f 35min. 30sec. was smashed by some five minutes. Tile event also counteil


towards tlie 1988 English championships, which Shaun is currently leading. A good run next week at Bltike, near Seascale, will be sufficient for Shaim to win his first ever major title ami become tlie 1988 Engl i sh fel l running champion. He must then redirect


his concentration and efforts back to the British championship which will not be decided until late in the season. He is pres­ ent ly in second place bchintl Donnolly. The international arena


also beckons as Shaun has been selected to run for England in the Snowdon Race in July.

forward to the event, which will take place between June 24th and

first and second division sides have fought for one trophy. This year, the Marsden Building Society donated a trophy for the second division teams to play for. 'Throughout the day,


matches in both divisions were hard fought, with many being decided on only one or two points. Rebels were the clear Division Two champions, while RBL A ilrew with Trinity Diamonds, which meant they pipped their opijonents for the runners- up spot. There were also some

IF you happen to be on the river bank one evening and chance to see a queer sort of chap dressed only in a loin cloth, beating a tom-tom, and shaking dry bones with black crow feathers attached, don’t be alarmed. It’s only yours truly practising an old Indian rain dance to try and break the dry spell. Looking at the river, the flow down to just a


trickle, one wonders if the much-needed rain will ever come to bring relief to both fish and anglers alike. At the moment, the rivers are not altogether


unfishable, but there is not much pleasure in cast­ ing a fly with all the moss and weeds thick on the stones and floating algae on the surface. The only trout activity takes place in either the


late evening or early morning, when a dry fly will take a fish. Personally, 1 am not a great lover of trout from the river, especially in low water conditions. I tend to return all the trout I catch, unless 1 owe a favour to friend. I’m sorry, sunbathers, but it’s been too dry for us
