Clitheroe’s cup form is not impressive

CLITHEROE’S impressive league form this season has certainly not followed them into the various trophy competitions, and the Blues were lucky to force a draw in this Raab Karcher Cup fixture.

With the pitch heavy

spirited Steve Orrell attacks and the side almost took the lead fol­ lowing a goal-mouth

Knock-out punch for Clitheroe


Skelmersdale 5, Clitheroe 3


LAST year’s Raab Karcher Cup semi-finalists went out at the first hurdle in this season’s competition.


Things had looked quite


good for Clitheroe in the opening half hour, then a defence that was missing the expertise of Niven Howlett began to crumble. Two goals immediately


before half-time almost killed the game, and one straight after the re-start finally did, putting the Blues'3-0 down. An own goal following a


Gary Howarth shot gave Clitheroe some hope, but Malone replied to make it 4-1 and in the 89th minute, Skelmersdale made it five. A header by Howarth and a long shot by Paul


Owen gave some respecta­ bility to the scoreline on a sad night for Clitheroe.
