Rallying to their cause


RALLYING brothers Mark and Edward


Bentley have been in the thick of the action in the last month. Competing in a sin­


gle venue stage race, at Flookbrough, the pair started well and had put their Ford Sierra 4x4 into first place after the first stage. H owever, on the


second s ta g e , the brothers endured a slight accident and rolled the car, which lost them over two minutes and dropped them down to 154th position overall. Undeterred, the nair


battled on and luckily did not suffer any more setb acks to claim eighth place overall and second position in class. In their second com­


petition, at Trentham Gardens, Stoke-on- Trent, the Whalley pair again started at a blistering pace, setting quickest tunes on two early stages. However, on stage


three they suffered a puncture and had to drive for three-and-a- half miles on the rim,1 losing vital time in the1 process.


They put the trou­


bles behind them for the rest of the event and duly started to claim the leader board, eventually claiming; sixth place overall and* a superb first place in4 class.

tlie re-start, Clitheroe contin­ ued to press upfield. Colne rarely threatened to trouble the visiting defence, giving them an opportunity to help out up front. Andy King and Shaun Gannon provided


ammunition for the wingers and Ian Johnson came close with a couple of headers. The home defence eonliu-.


tied to buckle under the pressure enabling Pickles, and then Mercer to complete their hat-tricks. Colne finally responded with a long range shot which beat Nuttall, but this was brief respite from the Clitheroe onslaught. Pickles embarked on a run


which finished with the striker rounding the goal­ keeper, before blasting the ball into the empty net. The final Clitheroe goal was


put away by centre-half Ste­ phen Murphy. It was an easy victory for


the reserves who could have had more. However, the reserves improved their goal difference considerably with this win. Clitheroe Reserves: Nut-

Whalley refused to panic


and continued to press with well worked attacks, grabbing a deserved equaliser after 27 minutes. A corner was swung in from the left and Chris Stanley rose well to head towards goal. Although the ’keeper saved, Stanley was (iniek to pounce and stabbed tlie ball over the line from two yards.


Once again, Whalley let

leg out and directed it into the open net to set up a thrilling finish. Minutes later man-of-the-

tunes for the under 15s team,- aftt^r a heavy defeat in their opening fixture, they bounced back to win 2-1 in their second

point; Championship. John, of Rimington, has already retained the title, hut


dints


with one weekend of competition left, is hoping that he can collect the points required to break the 3,000 harrier. Last weekend, he travelled to Long Eaton, on the shale,


and Heduesford, on the tarmac. The Long Eaton race was held in terrible conditions,


with rain pounding down and making driving uncomfortable and hazardous. “The spray was so bad you could not see


anything in front,” said John. The driver did manage to claim first place in the heat


and second position in the final, but decided that condi­ tions were too bad for the Grand National and did not take part in the final race. The following day he travelled to Heduesford and in


better conditions claimed top four positions in the second heat, the final and the Grand National, taking his points tally for the weekend to around 70. This weekend he completes the season with races at Scunthorpe, Kings Lynn and Boston.
