friends aL Clitheroe Squash Club was so tre­ mendous that it was possible to stage not one but two 2‘1-hour non­ stop sessions — with double the takings.


Club owner Mr Mike Heyworth, who helped to rally support, said he had never experienced anything like it before.


“There were (i l matches — 32 on each court, with all our members joining in.”


The marathon was in progress between 7-15


p.m. on Friday and 7-15 p.m. on S atu rd ay . Every player contri­ buted' a inihmum of <15 minutes and Mr Black­ burn, a marketing man­ ager with a Clitheroe firm, who received his lifesaving treatment at Christie Hospital, Man­ c h e s te r , won t h c

He said he had been amazed by the number of schoolchildren taking part in the action. Of the (11 players, 20 were under *15 and the star was undoubtedly Neil Cartledge (Id), of St Paul’s Close, How Moor, who featured in seven d5-minute sessions at various times during the marathon.


Neil also played in the club’s junior champion­ ship final, which formed part of the marathon, and proved a fitting winner of the title.
