New champions of floodlit bowls


WHEN the upset o f the championship was digested and it was realised that world crown green howling number one Brian Duncan and his partner, Norman Fletcher, would not be contesting the final, the large crowd settled down to enjoy the rest o f the excellent bowling.


The champions o f the past two years, with


a record o f 21 undefeated games to their name, were put out o f Kibblcsdalc Wan­


*■*


derers’ Floodlit Doubles on Saturday at the quarter final stage. Gavin Parker and Mar­ tin Gilpin beat them 21-15 after the cham­ pions had put up a spirited comeback. Gavin and Martin went on to heat Simon


and G eo ff Coupe 21-19 in the semi-final and so took their place in the final. In the other half o f the draw Alan Shak-


lady and Gerald Gregson coasted through the quurter and semi-final stages in com­ parison to the ir epic f irs t match o f the night.


Against John Hodgson and John Ains­ Carling North West Counties’ League Three-point attack nets five


Clitheroe 5, Kustwood Manley o


THE three pronged attack of Mark Heys, Jon Penman and Ian Pilkington wreaked devil­ ish havoc among the Eas­ twood Hanley defence and scored f iv e goals between them to destroy the Potteries’ side. A superb hat-trick from Heys


was supported bv two from Penman and one from Pilkinjj- ton, who is quickly making his mark since nis transfer from Humber Bridge. The Blues now lie comfortably


in second place in the Carling North West Counties Division One, with games in hand on those both above and below them. Eastwood set off well, Clith­


eroe being the slower of the two sides. But when the Blues got into their stride they produced


chance after clear-cut chance, doing just what their managers wanted them to. “After creating very little in


front of goal on Wednesday it was important for us to get back to scoring ways, particularly as three points could put us into second place, and the l>oys did exactly what we asked of them,” said Denis Underwood after the match.


Penman opened the scoring on


28 minutes. Lee Sculpher crossed from the right and the big forward headed home. The visitors came straight


back and forced Dave Whallev to save from a definite goaf- bound effort. But it was Clitheroe who


were the next scorers, increas­ ing their lead just before the half-time whistle. Gary Butcher found Heys with a pinpoint cross and a second header found the back of the visitor’s net.


Tennent’s Floodlit Trophy Clitheroe’s cup of woe Penrith 1, Clitheroe 1


A RUN of dreadful cup luck continued for Clitheroe when they visited Penrith for the first round second leg of the league’s Floodlit Trophy last Wednesday. Even though the side man­


aged a creditable 1-1 draw with a team who are steadilv climb­ ing the league table, they still found themselves dumped out of the competition at the first hur­ dle on account of their 2-1 home defeat in the first leg two weeks ago.


Clitheroe played reasonably


well on a horrible night. The rain (xiured and jioured from the start to the finish of the* game, making it slippy under foot. But the biggest complaint the management team o f Gary


Butcher and Denis Underwood had was that their team did not amount of chances

A quick long bail clearance


found the former Carlisle man in snace. He turned well and chipped Dave Whallev from all of ao yards. Two goals in arrears on the


aggregate score, Clitheroe now turned up the heat. Andy Taylor replaced Andv


Rouine and, when fullback Damian Burch was injured and fo rw a rd Dominic McT ea r entered the game, Clitheroe had *o re-shuffle their players. Both substitutes came close to


scoring with headers before McTear equalised for the Shaw­ bridge side when he connected with a cross from the right. But good defending kept out

Time on their side


C h a t bu rn I , C h a t burn Veterans I


TH E former players o f Chatburn FC had time on their


side when they took on their yotmger protegees in a char­ ity football match on Sunday. With most of them around 2<i years older than their oppo­


nents, they could claim to be a more experienced outfit. And at •t :{ down, referee Ron Rirch — a 50-year-old himself — played 15 minutes injury time to allow the veterans opjmrtunitv to equidise. This duly came when the youngsters ran out of patience and


scored an own goal to end the maten! In the game, which hcljn-d to raise money for tin* village bon­


fire, the younger and fitter men utiened up an early 3-0 lead. Paul Held, Mike Landers ami Stephen Booth, who outwitted


his father, Rainey,in a deft movement, all scored. The ancient regime had two one-time Clitheroe FC first-teamers


on their sided hie of them, Geoff Voting, headed a goal hack for his team but Paul Field increased the lead of the voting pretenders before the half ended.


addition of a player to the oldies, the flow of the game changed. Philip Hodgson was presented with more than a few goal-scor­


ing chances for the veterans, but had a mid-life crisis when he found the goal too small a target. It was left to Paul Bretherton and Andy King — the second


Clitheroe ringer. allieil mu- appearance as substitute — to push the scores within one goal. Then referee Birch, valiantly holding out a hand for his gen­


eration, conjured up a last-minute jienalty for the veterans. Rodney Booth, eager to make up for his earlier indiscretion,


stepped up to the spot. But the magnitude of the moment affected his hlood pressure ami he shot tamely wide! As the game dragged on. the children of the 50's looked unlikely


to score and referee Birch unlikely to blow up, a moment of real altruism came. Paul English, sensing the plight of the old men, tapjjcd home an


own goal and allowed them to leave the field to take a joint-easing bath and with a pride-saving draw.


Ladies’ Hockey Victorious at last

TH E Cl itheroe 2nd ladies’


hockey team enjoyed their first victory of the season dur­ ing a match on home ground.


Clitheroe kept the pressure


on from the start. About 15 minutes into the first half, Caro­ lyn Taylor took the ball down tlie wing, passed to Ruth Tal­ bot, who slipped the ball to Anna Hollingworth, and the first goal was made. In the second half, Clitheroe kept on the attack and the


m-ciiikI goal came halfway through when Anna Holling­ worth pushed the ball into the circle and Helen Barker hit the


goal home. Clitheroe goalie Amanda Crndnell played well, saving all the shots that were on target. Carolyn Taylor hit home the


final goal after a great run by Ruth Talbot from the back. The team gelled well and the victory was a job well done. Clitheroe: Tavlor, Barker, Hollingworth, Hill, Taylor,

kick-off, Eastwood reduced their deficit when Kevin Bates beat Whalley from 10 yards. Immediately, Dave’s name­

worth in the fifth round they entertained the crowd for one and a half hours in what was one o f the most competitive games o f the night.


In the final. Alan and Gerald ran out 21-


10 winners to become the new champions. Though It started close, the young men


from Lancaster could not keep up with 60* year-old Alan, who still manages to find the corners well. And with his leads being fol­ lowed by Gerald's fine backs, the younger men were soon disheartened and beaten.


The club would like to thank all the bowl­

W ITH little activity of note in Division One, the focus o f attention was on Langho’s push towards the second divi­ sion leadership. The visit of mid-table Read


United should have been a for­ mality for the third-placed side. But a derby brings out the


best in underdogs and a narrow 3-2 victory for United brought Langho tneir second defeat of the season and now leaves Read with the same figures as the team they beat. Rimington were the only local


side playing in the first division and they finally won after a string of disappointing defeats. Clitheroe Reserves lead the


division, with last year’s cham­ pions, Mill Hill, in second place.


Sabden are in third position


with a couple of games in hand on Clitheroe. Whalley, who are still in con­


tention in fifth place, visit Shawbridge on Saturday in what promises to be a hard- fought derby encounter. Hurst Green trounced Traw­


den Celtic 8-0 in the Reserve Division, but champions Mill Hill, with eight wins from eight matches, still remain the team to beat.

IT was a welcome return to winning wavs for Rimington as they defeated Settle 2-1 away. Two goals from Gordon Leach


highlighted a much-improved team performance, in which


everyone played their part. With 10 minutes on the clock,


a close range effort from Leach gave the villagers the lead and boosted their confidence to take the game to their hosts. Settle, however, were no


pushovers and. before the half ended, they forced their way back into a tight, competitve game. Only a fine, full-length fin­


gertip save from ’keeper Dave Binns kept the home side out in a first half which was beginning to turn their wav. The second half, however,


belonged to Rimington. Paul Travnor had an attempt


on goal ruled offside and the Settle ’keeper made two out­ standing saves from Martin Shirliker. But before Rimington could


lose heart Leach pupped up again and. latching on to a through ball, rounded the


’keeper and eoollv slotted home from a narrow angle. Soon a f te r , the g an g ly


forward hit the jxist and Andv Burgess went close with the rebound. Paul K e ig h le y and Phil

Gisburn Pool Demolition


PENDLE. Bariev, remain the team to beat in the early days o f the Gisburn and District Pool League season. Their 6-1 demolition of sixth- placed Buck Inn is a good indi­


cation of their quality. The two Anchor teams are


running them close, while at the other end of the table the Coach and Horses Rejects might be


in a false position. All their games have been lost


by a single frame and it is only a matter of time before they will start winning. Results: Coronation A 2.

Villagers’ gruesome ordeal


Oswaldtwistle Town 7, Chat­ burn 2


T H E stench o f a n ea rby


slaughterhouse hung over the Great Harwood ground in C h a t b u r n ’ s g a m e w i t h Oswaldtwistle Town, giving o f f a distasteful smell for the duration of the match.


But it was the rotting, dis­


membered corpse of the village team which was not a pretty sight as it fell to yet another heavy defeat.


Chatburn were stunned in the


first 10 minutes, when the 10 men of Oswaldtwistle broke out of defence twice ami shot them­ selves into a 2-0 lead.


When their 11th man entered


the fray and a third goal was scored, Chatburn heads began


to fall. The fourth Ossy goal came


before the interval and a fifth after the re-start.


Chatburn liegan to get their


game together and they added a bit of pride to their game when Brendan Gallagher came on as substitute.


He scored immediately and although the home team fired


another one, Tony Bush rifled in a second for the villagers. Oswaldtwistle had the final


say, however, when they shot home a seventh and sent Chat­ burn home on the end of a grue­ some ordeal.


Chatburn: Hall, Pritchard,


Robinson, Boyd, Lewis, Hart­ ley, Heanan, Bush. Gardner, Leonard, Lawson. Subs: Gal­ lagher, Bibby.


5-a-side


Close-fought encounter


THE winners o f the inaugural NJB Sports 5-a-side football league, Flexible Milan, com­ pleted the double by winning a gruelling cup competition.


Seven teams competed in a


two league round robin tourna­ ment at Roefield Leisure Centre and, after three hours of fast and furious five-a-side football, mighty Milan met the league's runners-up, Low Moor, in the final.


In a close-fought encounter,


which was worthy of a grand finale, Milan sneaked ahead early on. And with some stout defending, which belied their name, they hung on to win by 3-1.


Manager Mark Plant collected


the winners’ shield and, along with the league championship trophy, it is now on show at the team sponsor’s reception area — Flexible Reinforcements Ltd.

S u p e r Tool Stunning debut


M A K IN G his debut in the town’s A team, Carl Hackett put in a stunning display of j>ool to win at league leaders liurnley.


His opponent was bemused


and dismayed as the De Lacy man beat him emphatically, leaving him with all seven balls on the table.


But C l ith e ro e ’s hopes of


reaching the national finals in Gt Yarmouth next March dipped, as Carl's win was only one of two frames won by Clitheroe in what turned out to be a 7-2 thrashing.


After the first three frames


Clitheroe were unlucky not to be ahead.


Steve Hnrsfield went in-off


the black. losing the first frame. Dave Parkinson levelled with an impressive display, but Chris Steele also went in-off with just two halls remaining on the table.


In the next three frames,


however. Clitheroe men Andy Sudwnrth. Peter MeQuade ami Tony Clough were beaten


emphatically. At 5-1, Burnlev had won the


match, but Hackett produced


his piece of magic to reduce the arrears and take the man-of- the-match awanl.


John BirU-ck ami Roger Hope


lost the final two frames. With two home matches left.


Clitheroe must win by wide margins to stand any chance of a


trip to Gt Yarmouth. , Sue Seddon lost (4*9, 6-9, , George Senior won (9-0, 9-4, DISTRIBUTION manager for Bar-be-Quick, Mark Graham
