John Kears- ley and John Wharton hung around for a while, but could make little impression on the Northern attack on what was a good batting wicket.


Whalley were never going to challenge the Northern total, so it became a question of survival. After their allotted 45 overs, Whalley had only lost nine wickets but still had the four overs Northern had claimed to bat out.

ANDREW SHOWS HIS

IT was off with the wellies and on with the helmet and racing harness for Clitheroe farmer Andrew Collinson (23), who clocked up consistently good times driving at Harewood Hill Climb on Sunday. Andrew, of Bellman Cottages,


Chatbum Road, made an excel­ lent best time of 53.09sec. in his mkl 999cc road-^oing Mini, despite a few electncal problems at tne beginning of the uay. The result was an improve­
