importance of holding on to catches, here was an object lesson.The wicket, with recent rain, was a seamers paradise and the Read bowlers set about their task eagerly. Bryan Lones was removed from the action after the first delivery was placed in the second slip’s hands. Mick Dewhurst and Chris Seed built up a 50 partnership after this, but neither looked secure. Terry Clegg and Philip Hanson, the


village side’s openers, con­ stantly beat the edge of the bat without reward. However, their luck eventually changed when Dewhurst and Seed were caught behind the wicket. Barry Mocke, for the second suc­ cessive week, was adjudged leg before wicket without playing a shot and Neil Ashworth picked up a duck from a superb Clegg


delivery. At 74 for 5 from 20 overs, the


outcome of the game seemed decided. At this point, the Read catching disintegrated and Clitheroe were let back into the game. Paul Rushton and Alan Henderson were dropped a number of times, mistakes which proved to be extremely


costly. After each dropped catch, they hit out in style, putting on

Tony Dodgeson and Philip Hanson, - despite the plight of their team, could not resist Sutcliffe's tossed-up deliveries and paid the price. This was a welcome return to


points and possibly form by Clitheroe. Certainly the bowlers and the fielders looked sharper than in recent weeks. As for the batting, judgement will have to wait until Cutheroe faces a side less generous than Read in the field.

Wright then accounted for John Bushell and the home side seemed in the driving seat. Nefi Perry and Graham Bushell staged a minor recov­ ery, but neither seemed pre­ pared to make a serious effort at winning the match. At the end of 45 overs, the umpires called time. All credit must go to Whalley’s bowline and fielding, which was excel­ lent throughout and contributed in no small way to making Bax­ enden’s task as difficult as possible.

of Woone Lane, Clith­ eroe, and Michael Frank- land, o f Watt Close Farm, Gisburn.


After nomination by


the County S ch o o ls ’ Football Association, the two players were con­ sidered by members of the English Scho ols’ Football Association and eventually accepted on to


the course. David and Michael will


now have to travel to Nottingham for a six-day re s id en tia l coaching course at the city univer­ sity later this month.


Both youths have a


strong playing pedigree in the local area. Michael turns out for his school side and Rimington, who


play in the Whitbread Ribble Valley League Division One. David also commands a lo t o f respect, being a regular with the school team, Rimington and Whalley’s De Lacy Arms, who com­ pete in the Blackburn Memorial League.


Up against players from every part of the


country, the two players have done the area proud by being picked for the final training squad. With the chance of


being spotted by official scouts, they will cer­ tainly hope that they can impress again and so take the first tentative steps in the tough world of professional football.
