C iith c ro e Res I t, Nelson Kes 0


A C L I T H E R O E side too s t ro n g fo r th e ir o p po ­ nents in a ll departments o f the game ran r io t in round one o f the P re s i­ dent’s Cup. To their credit, Nelson


played out of their skin in the first half to keep the score down to 3-0. But goals from Burch, Young and McTear were only the start of things to come. W ith that score C lith -


eroe might have become c om p la ce n t , b u t th e ir second h a lf performance was ruthless. McTear and


Burch scored second half hat-tricks, Young notched a second, L ew is helped himself to two, Hutenin- son scored his first of the season and a fre e k ic k from Green completed the


rout. Meanwhile, Kennedy in


the Blues’ goal made two fine saves to deny Nelson a consolation. The retu rn o f Micke y


Graham, a fter a spell at Atherton, added strength


to the B lu e s , who now hope to keep their recent good run of form going for th e r em a in d e r o f the


season. C l i th e r o e R e s : K e n ­
