WHALLEY captain John Wharton has not yet hiled out the pos­ sibility of h is ’ side doing the double as they prepare to meet Padiham in the Whit-, bread Ramsbottom Cup final at Ribbles- d a le W a n d e r e r s ’ C r ick e t Club on Sunday. ■ Although they He 10


points adrift from league leaders Cherry Tree, there are still 18 points still to play for. “There is a tremen­


dous team spirit in the side,” he said. “Pro­ fessional Roger Wat­ son has done a superb job for us this season, both with bat and, ball, and all the other


lads have given him great support.” Wharton seems con­


fident that his side will overcome Padi-' ham’s challenge and lift the cup — and he still has his eyes on the double. “We have lost a lot


o f games th a t we should have won, but if we reproduce the form that we showed last weekend, we are capable of beating anbody.” The men to watch


oh the Whalley side are ob v iou s ly the opening pair of Wat­ son and John Kears­ ley. The professional has now scored 1,069 runs this season in ail


competitions, while Kearsley is averaging over 45 in the league. Perhaps, the most impressive statistic is that they average, 65 for the first wicket in 20 games that they have op en ed th e innings together. Other batsmen who


are in form are Mark Fallon, Paul Macin­ tosh and Wharton. But the tall by no­ means starts there as they still have plenty of talent to come. Ribblesdale is one


o f Tony W r igh t ’s favourite grounds and he always seems to pick up wickets at- Church Meadow. Also, on the bowling front.

formidable bowling line-up are fast-bowl- iiig professional Gary Bolton, off-spinner Martin Bowerman,
