I a n d B a n k / L T A Trus t British Stu­ dent Tennis Cham­ pionships, Dr iv e r , along with doubles partner Anne Simp- kin, showed superb form and won the whole event. A f te r receiving a


bye in the first round and a walkover in the second, the pair beat Milford ami a part­ ner, before overcom­ ing Exeter Univer­ sity pair Wilde and Cornfbrth in the final 7-5 7-5. In the singles sec­

final she overcame fourth seed Victoria Graeme-Barber 7-(5 7-5 and all looked


well. H ow e v e r , in the


semi-final she came up against her dou­ bles partner Anne

making batting difficult, but W h a l le y 's opening attack


lacked pace and accuracy and Stephen Rushton and Scott Duane shared 7(5 to give the innings a good start at a rate of over four runs per over. The partnership was broken


in most unlucky s ty le . A straight drive from Duane off A d a in C a I d e r b a n k w a s deflected on to the wicket by the bowler — leaving Rush- ton, quite correctly backing- up, stranded and run out. Patrick Ford soon followed,


caught and bowled by Ander­ son, but Duane powered on, producing some superb shots and reaching his half century off 51 balls. He was well sup­ ported by Mark Aspin and the total reached 100 from only 23 overs. L e e K ea r s le y s ta r ted a

Wimbledon to remember


YOUNG tennis star Stewart T r o t te r was performing at Wimbledon bust week. Although not on the Centre


Court, seven-vear-old 1 rot­ ter, o f Park Avenue, Clith­ e r o e , had a su p e rb t ime demonstrating short tennis. Afte r showing great form at


r e g io n a l c om p e t it ion s at Blackburn and Bury, Trotter, who is coached by John Scho­ field, was picked to go to Wimbledon to demonstrate short tennis, which uses a soft ball and is played on a bad­ minton court.


S H O W IN G g r e a t ta len t , members of Pendle Ski Club have collected a host of prizes at the annual North West Ski Federation Championships, held at Kossendale.


The competition, which is


always held at Kossendale, attracted around 150 skiers


from all o v e r the region, stretching from Oldham to Kendal and from Clitheroe to


Liverpool. Competing in the under 16s


section, Daniel Norton, from Clitheroe, was in fine form


and took f irs t place to be crowned North w est cham­ pion and take the Thompson


Trophy. Norton has been racing in


British seeding races for five years and is now competing at Grand Prix level. There are only about four Grand Prix races per year and Norton takes part in the next one at


Gloucester. Over the last three years,


N o r l o n h a s b u i l t up experience in various slalom and giant slalom events on snow in Alpe D’Huez and Serrc Chevalier. Among these are the English Ski Council Show races and the STS Brit­ ish Championships.


He is also a member of the


North West training squad. Also impressing, Jonathan


Heyes was also crowned as North West champion after winning the under 12s section


and Eleanor Huddleston did well to finish in second posi­ tion in the under 10s race. Each competitor was


allowed two runs down the slope, with the combined times then counting towards their final placing. Our picture snows some of


the victorious Pendle Ski Club members, back from left to right: Amanda Brennan, Sally Latham, Dan Norton, Jon­ athan Heyes.Front: Eleanor Huddleston.

Knowles takes first place


R ID IN G his 250 c.c. S u z u k i , C h a t b u r n O U A D r id e r K e i t i i Knowles claimed first


pla c e o v e r a l l in the recently held COBRA championship race held in Basingstoke. On the night before


the event it rained and left the course in perfect condition for Knowles who was racing with a set o f brand new tyres. In the opening two


heals the Ribble Valley man was untouchable and claimed first place in both. This qualified him for


the two pro-class finals. In the opening final he was again in top form


taking a deserved first place. In the second the track began to dry and Knowles began to strug­ gle with the bike. “As it dried the rest of


the bikes started to han­ dle better and mine was worse,” said Knowles, who managed to hold off th e f ie ld and c la im second place to guaran­ te e his f ir s t position overall. This weekend he will


be competing at a meet­ ing at Rochdale. A t one time scheduled


to be a British Cham­ p ion sh ip round , the Rochdale race will now be just a regular club event but will provide the riders with a tough test.

means that Lund now stands around 120 points clear at the top of the title table and as defending champion looks firm favourite to retain his title when the s e r ie s ends in November. On Saturday he travelled to


Coventry and a shale track, claimed fourth place in the heat, second in the final and second in the Grand National. Although pleased with his


41 points, Lund could have done better. “ I was running second in the heat, but was involved in a bit of rough stuff and had to make do with fourth,” said Lund. The following day the rac­


ing was closer to home, with Lund in action at Bolton’s tar­ mac track. Because the field was not as big as the previous day the


fo rm a t was changed, with each driver allowed to nice in two out of three heats. Lund claimed second place


in both his heats before taking third position in the final and f ir s t pla ce in the Grand National. This took his points haul for
