World-class performance


C O M P E T IN G in the World Stock Car Cham­ pionships, motor-sport s ta r John Lund has retained his t itle in Hying colours. John has now won the world crown four times


and stands just two behind Stuart Smith, who won the event an incredible six times in his long career. Last year’s event was held at Hednesford, when


John was too hot to handle and won the title with a powerful display. The 1992 World Championship was held at Brad­


ford’s 400m shale track and was watched by a crowd of some 15,000. The event also attracted some of the world’s top


drivers, with 10 competitors from Holland, two from New Zealand and one American joining the 22 British drivers all attempting to win the world crown. The weather on the day was dry, which helped the


drivers. After cracking performances in the quali­ fying rounds, John began the race on the front row of the grid. Knowing that the start was critical, John had a


stormer and went into the lead at the first corner. With 25 laps ahead of him, the Rimington farmer


knew he would have to he careful and the real dan­ gers began when the leaders caught up the hack markers. “There were cars spinning and the main problem


was negotiating all the traffic,” said John, who had a Bass North West Counties’ League


number of close calls. “At one point a car spun in front of me and I chose


to go wide. My car hit the outer harrier, but I man­ aged to keep going,” said John. Luckily, John’s nearest challenger chose to go down the inside to avoid the trouble and became tangled up


in’the accident. Showing great skill and patience, the defending


champion held his position for the whole 25 laps to retain his world title in superb style.


As well as a massive trophy, John also revived


200 points to go towards his challenge in the National Stock Car Points Championship, in which he is also defending champion and the current title leader.


At the Northampton meeting, held the following


day, the Rimington man claimed a second position in the heat, a second in the final and another second in the Grand National.


“There were a lot of top drivers at the meeting and I


was pleased with my driving,” said John. This performance brought in 43 points, which leaves


the defending champion leading the field by some -100 points, with around 10 weeks and 25 meetings left in the championship.


This weekend, he continues his points championship


challenge with a trip to Crewe, on Saturday, and to Buxton, on Sunday.

Clitheroe hang on for a point


St Helens Town 1, Clitherne 1


C L IT H E R O E bounced back after their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Blackpool Rovers, with a hard-earned point away to St Helens Town.


However, manager Alan


Bradshaw was not pleased with the performance, although he was glad to return home with a point.


“We have played better


than that this season and got nothing,” said Bradshaw.


Shawbridge topics Spirits dampened


C L IT H E R O E FC have blow w i th the loss of Hanson.


The player broke his leg


against Blackpool Rovers and will now face a long lay-off from the game. Although it looked as if


Clitheroe’s FA Cup invol­ vement could he pro­ longed, subsequent enquiries resulted in Hucknall being allowed into the next round. The trouble centred


upon a Hucknall player, believed to he a contract player at Kings Lynn. However, it transpired


that Kings Lynn had never sent the registration forms to the FA and the player had in fact signed forms for Hucknall. “The chairman of Kings


Lynn rang Clitheroe and said that the player was a contract player with them and we accepted that and lodged an appeal," said Mr Colin Wilson, the secre­ tary at Clitheroe FC. On the playing side,


Clitheroe claimed a point from their away match against St Helens Town, on Saturday, in the Bass North West Counties’ League first division and now stand in a comfortable


been dealt a severe m id f ie ld man N e i l

Whallev Wanderers 2 Tommy Halls I.


C O N T IN U IN G their first season in the Black­ burn Memorial League first division, Whalley Wanderers went down lighting against Tommy Balls.


Although Tommy Balls


looked the more assured side in the opening exchanges, it was Whalley who took the lead when' Sam Chapman smashed1 the hall home from a tight angle. Whalley continued to


b a t t le and although Tommy Balls controlled most of the play, the home side were a constant threat on the break and could have added to their lead on a number of occasions. After Whalley 'keeper Murray Walker had made


a number of superb saves, Tommy Balls equalised


with a near-post header from a corner and then went into the lead minutes later. To their credit, Whalley


continued to fight and although Tommy Balls added to their lead in the second half, the home side battled away and were rewarded when Craig Dewhurst scored in the SOth minute. Unfortunately, the goal


spurred Tommy Balls on and they killed the game off with a late fourth goal. This weekend Whalley


travel away to take on Printers Arms at Wilsons (k.o. 10-30 a.m.). Whalley Wanderers: Walker, Chapman (D),


Mossop, Stanley, Warden, Dewhurst, Kearslcy, Cza- powski, Taylor, Chapman (S), Chapman (T). Subs: Smith, Franks.


Fishy challenge


R 1 B B L E V A L L E Y angler John Rogers, who was acting Lancashire captain in the police force’s Young Angler Competi­ tion, helped his team into third place at the event, held in Humberside. John of Hillcrest Road,


Langho, won selection to the team earlier this year after coming out on top in a series of qualifying heats organised by Blackburn Police Division. He fin­ ished seventh in the indi­ vidual competition. British Aerospace in


Samlesbury sponsored this year's team.


)I M.......... ..... It) t 2 7 5 Clitheroe had the upper


hand in the first half, hut could not make their chances count until Paul Keighley crossed for Geoff Young to head the hall in at the far post. In the second half, St Helens began to control


the play, but they could not find a way past the Clitheroe defence. How­ ever, with 15 minutes to go, the home side broke away and when the defence had failed to clear, let in a St Helens forward to chi)) the hall over the ad va nci ng CI i th eroe ’keeper Denis Underwood. The point leaves Clith­


eroe in 12th place, with 11 points from their first nine matches and in a good position to start to forge their way up the league. “We are in a much bet­


ter position than last sea­ son and with a bigger and more balanced squad, should continue to climb,” said Bradshaw. On Saturday, Colin


James and Midi Graham both had to be substituted due to injury, hut Brad­ shaw was hopeful they would he fit for Saturday’s match against Newcastle Town. Neil Hanson, who broke


his leg against Blackpool, is up and about on crutches, but as yet no date has been set for his possible return.

ON a night when nothing seemed to go right for Clitheroe, the side losL 2-0 and midfielder Neil Han-, son broke a leg in the second half. In the first half, Clith­


eroe seemed in control, but just could not score. Blackpool, after a sub­


dued first half, came to life after the break and broke the deadlock when a half- c le a re d c o r n e r w a s knocked back into the box and headed home. Clitheroe then commit­


ted too many players forward, leaving them­ selves open at the hack and Blackpool made the result safe with a late breakaway goal.


Miserable run continues

C L IT H E R O E ’S miserable run continued with a home defeat a t the hands of local rivals


Whalley. The visitors dominated


long periods of the first half, with Clitheroe unable to string many moves together. The defence held out well, with Paul Green and Stephen Murphy keeping the Whalley attack at bay and fullbacks Andy King and Shaun Gannon trying to gel forward. Clitheroe began to get


Sporting thriller ahead


A WHOLE host of sport­ ing events will be staged in the area this weekend as part of Riblile Valley Council’s “Weekend of Sport.” The project, which fol­

into the game towards the end of the half, but the score remained 0-0. Whalley took the lead


midway through the second half and this seemed to spur Clitheroe


on, with Andrew Hutchin­ son strong in midfield. Derick Mercer equalised with 10 minutes left, head­ ing past the 'keeper, and the match looked set to be a draw. However, Whalley had


other ideas and with a lit­ tle over five minutes remaining, they grabbed a close-range goal which proved to be the winner. In a frantic last few minutes, Clitheroe pushed for the equaliser, with Green having a blistering drive saved, but Whalley held out to subject Clith­ eroe to their third suc­ cessive defeat. Clitheroe Reserves:


Greenaere, King, Gannon, Green, Murphy, Smith, Hutchinson, Birch, Pick­ les, Mercer, Lord. Subs: Burgess, Hardman.


Cup quest is halted


Clitheroe KIJFC 1st XV Mosslcy Hill RIJKC'J


C L IT H E R O E R U F C ’s interest in the National Provincial Cup came to an abrupt halt in a close match against Mosslcy Hill at Litllemoor.


W ith club capta in


George Giles unavailable, s c r u m - h a 1 f M a 1 c o 1 ill Ileanan took over the role of leading the town’s rugby team out for the


first time. Several injuries and


unavailabilities forced some changes, with Dave Tattersall moving up to hooker, John Proctor back into the second row along­ side Geoff Williamson, who was making a wel­ come return to the 1st XV after a four-year absence. A new centre partner­


ship was created with Ian Fielding linking up with Nigel Green and Mick Rowley. Playing up the slope in


the first half, Clitheroe were well fired up, but it was the Liverpool side who got off to the better start, with their big centre causing some midfield chaos for the defence. Perhaps Clitheroe were


slightly confused, being faced with a set of identi­


cal maroon and gold shirts as their own traditional colours. Clitheroe did settle and


began to e x e r t some pressure and made good yardage from quickly taken free-kicks. Once in the Mossley Hill


22 they turned up the p re s s u re a n d w e re awarded a p e n a l ty . Although the first one was


just wide, Heanan con­ verted another shortly afterwards to put the home side ahead. But as the first half


drew to a close, pressure from Mossley caused a Clitheroe man to give a penalty away in return, which was kicked to put the game all square at the interval. In tile second period, it


was nick and tuck all the way as neither side would


give in. It also meant nei­ ther side could grasp the initiative and gain com­ plete control of the game. With Williamson gaining


Youthful talent


A YO U N G but talented Clitheroe team tra v ­ elled to Blackpool to compete in the Under 18s tournament. With the prize of a place in the North Clubs under


ISs final at stake, the tournament was well contested. The local side started their campaign against Spring-


fields in pouring rain. The Clitheroe side, playing together for the first time, started well and launched a number of attacks, with captain Pauline Bush making strong runs down the middle. Gradually the far more experienced Springfields side


began to get on top and put the Clitheroe defence under some intense pressure. However, good work from ’keeper Catherine Blackman ensured Clitheroe finished deadlocked at 0-0. For their second game, against Lancaster, Clitheroe changed their formation and adopted a sweeper


system. The team began to work together and missed several


scoring opportunities. The Lancaster attacks were soaked up and Heidi Davison controlled the midfield expertly. The match ended in another 0-0 draw. Determined to break their duck, Clitheroe attacked


from the start against Poulton and they moved the ball about well, but still could not trouble the opposing 'keeper. Charlotte Coates, at right midfield, had an excellent


game and helped break the deadlock when from a pen­ alty corner, she played the ball out to Bush, who slipped it to Davison, who smashed the ball in from the back of the circle. Clitheroe could not score again, but held on to take


the match and leave them with a real chance of winning the tournament. In their last match, against Chorley, they needed a


score draw or better to clinch the honours. Clitheroe gave everything in the first 15 minutes, with Nicola Yates working hard at left midfield. The hard games had taken their toll on Clitheroe and


mistakes began to creep into their play. Although chances were made, they could not score and the match ended 0-0, which meant Clitheroe had to play-off against Springfields in a penalty stroke competition. Although Blackman made some good saves, the greater experience of the Springfields side proved


decisive and Clitheroe lost 2-1. The young side were far from disappointed and are


now looking forward to next year's tournament. Clitheroe: Blackman, Wilkins, Smith, Jackson, Palmer, Yates, Davison, Coates, Myers, Bush, Felcey.


good line-out ball for C l i th e ro e and Mike Francis and Steve Taylor prominent in the loose, good possession did come h a c k fo r t h e t h r e e quarters. Though this was met with some solid tackling,


Fielding did manage some telling breaks and from one full-back Kriss Tyas broke away, only to be denied a try by a last-ditch tackle on the line. The pressure soon told


as Mossley were caught offside and Heanan put Clitheroe ahead again. Unfortunately it was a


short-lived celebration as Clitheroe let Mossley in again to square the score. With extra-time loom­


ing, it seemed that the first to crack would loose the match. In the dying stages of the match, Clith­ eroe lost discipline and allowed the visitors to score the points they needed to take the match. Clitheroe: Tyas, Row-


ley, Fielding, Green, Cauiice, O’Duffy, Heanan, F ran c is , T a t te r s a l l , Dubowski, Williamson, Proctor, Taylor, Holmes, McEntyre. On Saturday, Clitheroe


1st XV take on Rochdale away, while Clitheroe 2nd XV face Lymm at Little- moor (k.o. 3 p.m.).


Opening win


CLITHEROE EC’s youth team opened the season with a (5-2 against Novak City. This week the team


were beaten by Waterfoot Boys. After a scoreless first half, Waterfoot took the lead from a penalty, conceded by Brandon Hayhurst. Waterfoot sealed the


match with two more goals and for Clitheroe Chris Baron and Kevin Clough performed well. Clitheroe’s man of the


match was Daniel Massey. On Sunday the team


face Waterfoot again, at Roefield (k.o. 11 a.m.).


Close match Skiptun LMS 2, West Bradford 2


FACING Skipton LMS, West Bradford were given


a stern test of character in this exciting match. They began brightly!


enough, with a goal from Watkins, but Skipton replied midway through the half. In the second half, Skip-


ton went ahead, but West Bradford sealed the result with goals from Watkins and Sudsworth.


Cricketers celebrate the season


Tennis supremo


C H A T B U R N tennis supremo Ann Dr iv e r has been busy in the last few weeks, competing in.


three top-class tournaments. Ann, who is studying for a degree at Loughborough


University, travelled to Jersey for her first event. Although she failed to impress in the singles section,


the ladies’ doubles event was a different story and along with partner Anne Simpkin, the pair took the title, winning the final (5-2 (5-2. The next tournament was held at Guernsey and once


again Ann was in top form in the ladies’ doubles. Teamed up with long-term partner Anne Simpkin,


the pair were much loo strong aiid won the title. As the defending doubles champions in both events, Ann and Anne were delighted to successfully defend


both titles. In her singles event at Guernsey, Ann was elimin­


ated in the first round, after going down 6-3 7-5 against number one seed Collette Hall. Unfortunately, the pair's form deserted them for the


Dublin competition and hopes of a hat-trick of victories slipped. Ann lost in the semi-finals of the event, against Sarah Corner and Sara Tse (i-2 (5-3. Ann is now looking forward to going back to univer­


sity and taking part in various national and county matches.

scoring through Dominic McTear with a close range shot and Howard Linford made it 2-0 after a well- worked move saw him break out of defence and move down the right before playing a one-two to beat the 'keeper. As the half wore on


Kings continued to domi­ nate and only the wood­ work saved the Blackburn side from letting in more goals before half-time. After the break, Royal


Oak started to play better football and they pulled a goal back to leave the score 2-1 with 15 minutes to go. With just five minutes left, Royal Oak grabbed an equaliser and the match went into extra-time. Kings started the better and re-took the lead when Scriven was rewarded


with a goal after a fine run had seen him beat four men. Further goals from Scri­


ven, McTear and Linford made the score 6-2, before Royal Oak clawed another back. McTear completed his hat-trick before the end to leave the final score 7-3. Kings Arms: Holden,


Hitehen, Wear, Linford, Scriven, Gidlowe, Tomlin­ son, Blackledge, Cox, McTear, Burgess, Wilkin­ son, Pye.
