SHAWBRIDGE has been the venue for some thrilling matches and this year's Whitbread Ribble Valley League Dan Seed final was indeed a gripping affair. . The top two teams in the second division, Royal Oak
■v y . v
and King’s Arms, had been battling it out in the league . throughout the season and the match promised to be a close and well-matched encounter. To get to the final, Royal had, perhaps, a tougher
time, beating Clitheroe Reserves, Brockhall amd Buck Inn. The King’s Arms had a bye in the first round and overcame Transport Reserves and Calderstones to book their place at Shawbridge. Starting on top, Royal Oak took the lead after just
m, t
five minutes when Peter Washbrook headed in a corner. With the midfield now in control, Royal Oak pushed forward in search of another goal and this came when Peter Gate latched onto a well timed through-ball. The forward rounded the King’s Arms 'keeper Stephen Mitchell and put the ball into the back
of the net. A poor back-pass let in Gate again minutes later and

The revival began when Scriven headed Kings .
Royal Oak dampened the King’s Arms spirits with a oath minute goal from Washbrook. To their credit, Kings Arms again battled their way back and their determined attitude was rewarded when Scriven claimed an imrpessive hat-trick, following a goal-mouth scramble. This set up the match for the last 20 minutes and King’s Arms took control, pressing Royal Oak back for
long periods. Despite being well on top, the side could not pull the goal back and Royal Oak hung on to complete a superb cup and league double.
