A STORMING second half display from the Wolves ensured a super away day win in a game of two halves. With a strong wind blowing down the field, it was Cliviger who adapted to the conditions quickest, scoring two fine goals. Thomas Hibbert was
called upon in the Clith eroe goal to make some great saves in the first half to contain the home side’s attack. However, the second
half was a completely dif fe re n t match as the Wolves finally stamped their authority on the game. Phil Robinson slot ted the ball home after man-of-the-match Steven Wilkinson had struck a post, and the equaliser soon a r r iv e d when Matthew Garner scored from close range. Clitheroe took the lead
when a goalbound effort from Dave Barker was helped over the line by Daniel Walsworth. The visitors put the
icing on the cake with another well-taken goal by Garner, capping a brilliant second half performance by the under 12s.
