Clithcroe FC 1, Present I


CLITHEROE began the action in this Bass North West Counties League fixture when Manley tried for a goal


but shot wide. Prescot then started to


settle down, as they put in some good shots to test keeper Underwood. Manley a g a in came close, heading ju s t over


the bar. After exer ting heavy pressure, Clitheroe took the lead in the 15th minute, when Keys turned and put the ball into the


corner of the net. Underwood pulled off


several good saves, to keep C l i th e ro e in th e game. Keys and Young were linking up well and won several corners. The first half ended with Pre­ scot p u t t in g C lith e ro e

L U C K L E S S C 1 i t h e r o e Wolves Under-lls went down 3*0 to an in-fonn Beardswood Boys.


Clitheroe plavcd some good


football in the first half, creat­ ing several chances, but failed to score.


Beardswood went ahead


ju s t before half-time, when a good sa ve f rom k e e p e r T h o m a s M i b b e r t w a s deflected into the net.


Clitheroe continued to make


chances in the second half, but were pulled up short in off­ side positions and looked like equalising on several occa­ sions, against the run of play.


Clitheroe conceded a second


goal, when the defence failed to clinch a loose ball. Again Clitheroe tried very hard to pull back, but the result was put out o f th e ir reach when cruel luck was against them and a defence clearance gave away an own-goal. The team plays away on Saturday, at Rishton.


KEEN Ribble Valley table tennis fans flocked to Howland High School for this year’s Ribblesdale Table Tennis Association Closed Championship. The competitors, who arc pictured a f te r the


exciting contest, competed in several categories, including titles for singles and doubles. The championship capped a successful year for


local table tennis, which is proving popular, par­ ticularly among the area’s youth. Mr Tony Hall, the association’s treasurer, said:


“ I t w a s a n e x c i t in g a n d w e l l - a t t e n d e d competition.” Table tennis, he added, was attracting a lot of interest at the moment and many thanks were due


} -


to Peter Marsh, the association’s fixtures secre­ tary, and Robert Veevers, its secretary, for their hard work in reviving much of th a t interest.


The results were: handicap singles — M. Law-


son, F. Simpson; open singles — E. Moorcroft, M. Lawson; handicap doubles — R. Barton and K. Croydon, A. Pearce and E. Moorcroft; open dou­ bles — A. Crane and M. Crane, P. Haines and M. Lawson; under 16s open singles — S. Holden, M. Verity. I f you are interested in playing competitive table

Easy win for Read


READ UNITED'S first team match against Penrile Forest B, in the East Lancashire League, proved a one-sided game, w ith Read coming away 7-0 winners. Senior player.Jimmy Koyle


continued his goal-scoring ways by scoring twice. There


were also two goals from Ash­ ley Baron and one each from Mark Hoyle, captain David Allen and Ian Uttley. Manager Fred Uttley was


very pleased with the team’s performance and, by a popu­ lar vote, Fat Ford was mimed "man of the? match.'’ Read’s second team were


involved in a Bob Emmett cup game against Riverside, but, m a game littered with missed chances, went down 3-2. The two goals came from Andy Fassmore. Manager Fred Ashton had

Gornalls cycle victory


KIBBLE VALLEY cycling brothers Alan and Mark Gornall took first place in the weekend’s tough Polaris Challenge Cycle Race, held at Kiclder Forest. The couple, who endured snow, ice and punctures


during the two-day mountain bike event, won the senior section of the competition, as well as taking first place overall. The race involves a series of check points, each of


which c ar r ie s a point score, depending on its accessibility. Competitors have to carry lull kit, including tents,


and have to complete the course within a specified time, after devising their own route. Saturday saw the pair in second place, but a fatal


mistake by the leading pair — who duplicated a check point — enabled the Gormtlls to finish first.

Alan Gornall said: “We made one or two routine


on a new road, which wasn’t marked on the map, and ended up going in the opposite direction. Mark then suffered a puncture, but the leading pair duplicated a checkpoint and were penalised by thirty points. We had s ta r ted to catch up by then and overtook them,winning by two points.” The Folaris event, which attracts competitors from


all over the country, is the last race of the sea­ son for the two brothers.


Weekend of action for junior players


THERE was yet another action-packed week­ end l'or Reads'tone’s junior footballers, with all live teams in action and the under 10s playing


a friendly. The under LI team was


away to Turton and, through a misunderstanding and the call up of Gareth Houghton for league trials, hail only 10 men.


What a f ig h t in g p e r fo r ­

Manager Faul llowarth said


i t was the best team perfor­ mance he had seen since tak­ ing over as manager.


The under 13 Hymlburn League team were away to St


Joseph’s, of Accrington, who beat them twice last season. But a spir ited performance saw Headstone make a -1-1 draw, in a game which, with a bit o f extra luck, they might have won. Goalseorers were Andrew Waites (2), Damien Hart and Tom Bartlett.


The under 12s were at home


to a strong Victoria team but, by playing some lovely foot­ ball, came away 5-2 victors, w ith two goals from Spike


Jones amt one each from Danny Sharpies, Thomas L it­ tle and Roger Uaythornth- waite who, fo r the second week running, took the man . of the match award.


On Saturday, the under Ms


played at lluncoat and made a steamroller of a start, going 5-0 up within 10 minutes and finishing the firs t half 0-2.


In the second half. Huucoat


came out fighting and made more o f a game, pressing Keadstone back, but the final score was 11-1. Goalseorers were Andrew Cezcrak (0), Be van S c a rb o ro u g h (3 ) ,


Michael Garner and Andrew Bennett.


T h e u n d e r 10 t e a m ,


progressing well in the care of Paul Clarke, played a friendly against Michelin on Saturday, winning 7-0. Andy Bennett, in goal for

to league action for the Littlemoor men, as they


were far from disgraced, hut, with only being able to win limited first-phase ball from line -out and scrums, were never able to get their rucking game going and therefore spent most of the time on the defensive.
