THE boat race, the FA Saturday. Gnn final Wimbledon and ..


THE WHITBREAD Ribble Valley League will comprise of just one division next season. At the league AGM, held at the Catholic Social


Club in Clitheroe, committee members heard that due to a number of teams leaving to join the newly formed East Lancashire League second division and two others disbanding, only one league would be run next season.


The league will be made up of 14 teams if all goes to


plan and the new season starts on Wednesday, August 22nd. Whitbread will once again sponsor the league and the Aitken Shield next season. There will be no Dan Seed Cup final for 1990/91.


■ Overall the evening was a success and secretary Mr Cyril King is now looking forward to next season’s soccer.


The management committee for next season will


be Ralph Aspinwall (chairman), Stan Fletcher (vice- chairman), Cyril King (secretary), Andrew Hilton (treasurer) and Billy Briggs (registration secretary). The executive committee will be made up of Alan


Lawson, Rodney Read, Mark Mercer, Sam Salisbury, Brian Jones and David Binns.

Inconsistent week for Clitheroe


CLITHEROE Squash Club teams enjoyed two vic­ tories and suffered two defeats in last week s matches.


The biggest defeat of came when the men’s third


team plaved Blackburn Northern. Adrian Catehpole played the first match and lost 3-2. This signalled a collapse in the Clitheroe side and they failed to win


one more game, eventually losing 5-0. The men’s second team were also in poor form and


went down -1-1 also against Blackburn Northern. Only Tony Walmsley managed to show any form, winning Clitheroe’s solitary game 3-2.


. Against Bury, the men’s first team were in a fight­


ing mood. Warren Starbuck started well with a 3-1 win. This was followed with victones for Barry Har­ greaves, Rick Ashton and Susan Meadows. Although John Meadows failed to win the last encounter, the side


won comfortably 4-1. The most emphatic win of the week came \| hen ,


the ladies team travelled away to face Blackburn Northern. A fte r Marjorie Brass won the opening encounter 3-2, the remainder of the players hit top


form and did not lose one more game. The side finished with a decisive 5-0 win.

Batting first. Chipping opener


Rain hit 17 to set the side on their way, but the other bats­ men were not in the same run scoring mood. Thompson proved to be the saviour, with a fine unbeaten 49 that put Chipping back in control.


This knock proved invaluable


as the last five wickets fell for just four runs.


For Casuals, Hussain was


most dangerous with the hail, taking three wickets for the loss of 30 runs from his five overs.


In reply, Casuals struggled to


find any form. The started briskly with Palmer hitting 12 and third man Hille scoring a badly-needed 19. However, these two scores proved to be the only positive points of a poor innings. Casuals were dismissed for 54, giving Chipping a 44 run victory.

point of the game as Mark Fal­ lon followed Watson back to the pavillion after the very next ball. He played a poor shot straight to mid-on after trying to flick the ball on the leg side. Overseas amateur Leon De


Villiers and Paul Macintosh got their heads down and grafted, finally scoring 31 runs apiece. The South African fell trying to force the pace, while Macintosh went to an excellent caught and bowled from Chris Fox. It was downhill from then on,


with Adam Caldcrbank offering the only real resistance. Wiekus Botha had bowled


well early, and Tony Howarth capitalised on this by claiming six wickets at the other end. With due respect to the Great Harwood attack, it has to be


said that the Whalley batsmen contributed to their own down­ fall. I f they had followed the example of the bust pair, Brian Brown anil Jim Rudd, and played straight, they would have lusted a lot longer and den­ ied Harwood the bonus point for bowling them out. It is another cricketing cliche,


and has been said many times in these columns, but catches win matches. Wha l ley , who otherwis e fielded superbly, missed some


difficult, but vital,chances. After tea, the Whalley side


firmly believed they could win, but then missed the opportuni­ ties that would have given them tlie points. Watson, hampered by a ham­


string injury, was slightly way­ ward, but should have claimed the wicket of Paul Allen. The opening bat got a little edge to a swinging delivery, but Murray Walker, standing up to the wicket, dropped the catch. I t was to prove to be an


expensive mistake as Allen went on to score 01 precious runs for his side. His opening stand with namesake Geoff Allen added a healthy 77 before the latter skied a catch to Watson. The leg-spin of De Villiers
