Memorial League t a S M i M African adventure for rally ace Meadows g g j g g s « < « » ^ ^


WITH just ovlt two weeks to go to the start of the World Championship Martini Kenya Safari Rally, Clitheroe co-driver John Meadows is cur­ rently making last minute plans before jetting off for Africa. John, of Southfield Drive, West Iirtullord, is


once again teaming up with Japanese driver Ken- jiro Xhinozuka in the Mitsubishi works team and will take part in a Galant VR-I. Having already been out to Kenya for testing


last December and with the experience gained on this and other African rallies, the Clitheroe insurance broker is confident of a top five finish. Shinozuka, who finished third in the 1’aris-Cape


Town Rally, has built up a tine partnership with Meadows and the pair have recorded top Id places in both the Kenya and the Ivory Coast Rallies. Starting on March 27th, the Kenya Salari Rally


runs for six days, covering over 2.000 miles of treacherous tracks, dried up river beds and wild


Double blow


CYCLING brothers Mark and Alan Gnrnall had to battle against the odds in the .lock Wadey Road Race in Kssex at t he weekend.


Mark, having suffered


a t raining injury, was not fully fit and so could not launch a real challenge for victory, while Alan, despite going well, kicked handlebars in t he pack and crashed into a bush.


1 lowever, the pair


were not disgruntled and made the race as a useful workout, ready for the first round this weekend of the Star Trophy, the Grand Rrix of Kssex.


Competing for the Ace


RT team, the pair will be up against a quality held and will get a measure of their strength and amount of work they


may need to carry out. Mark, as defending


champion, certainly has a victory chance, but. as only one person lias ever won the event back to back, it will take all his strength and skill to claim first place.

With a class field taking part, including world champion Julia Kankkunen and his arch-rival


Carlos Sainz, the going will certainly be difficult, but John knows the terrain and is now well-used to the climate.

still as light as ever, with .a couple of victories pushing a team into the top five and a couple of defeats leaving a side deep in the relegation zone. On S a tu rd a y , Russell


Procter and Paul Keighley came into the hack-four, giv­ ing the defence a more mobile look and they coped well, remaining committed and calm throughout the match. The Hines’ opened their


account in the seventh minute when a superb move between Dunn, Marshall Rurke and Cary Rutcher, released Dieoff


box ;uui when just about to let


Young. Young advanced into the


fly, was tripped by Joe Doyle. The resulting penalty was


given to new-signing Dunn


and the talented midfielder made no mistake, smashing the hull past the 'keeper on his second home debut of his Dlitheroe career. The side continued to build


with authority and on 25 minutes almost made it 2-0. After a surging run from


the talented Mick Seddon, the player was fouled on the edge of the box. Midfield stalwart Rurke hit the free-kickinto the box and although Dunn connected well, the shut Just flew the wrong side of the post. Unlike last week, when the


side folded. Dlitheroe stood firm, giving Rradshaw no rea­ son to worry. In the 22rd minu te, goal-ace Young popped up to score the second and killer goal. S te ve Or re II beat his


marker on the left and crossed to Young, who brought the ball down and stabbed it over the line for a fine goal. In the second half, the goal- chances dried up somewhat and Rootle battled away look­ ing for the life l in e they needed. However, the Merseyside


team did not even begin to threaten the Dlitheroe goal, with the defence totally trans­ formed from the week before. With Martin Pearce also


impressing, Dlitheroe’s back- line just shut up shop and 'keeper Dave Whalley was rarely called on to make any saves. This was a spirited and fine


performance from Dlitheroe iu what has been a tough and testing season. However, if they carry on playing with the same vigour. Division One football will he still oil the agenda next season. On Saturday, Clitheroe con­

Leyland half, who stopped the ball and then made no mistake wit 1) a thunderous shot into the net. Dlitheroe immedia­ tely came hack on the attack

the chance. The play in the second hall


was fairly even, with (Title erne getting a few shots on
