ragged as tne Blues strung a numeir of good moves together. But there was still one last


scare in store for Clitheroe. Minutes before the final whistle a deft chip allowed in the Accrington right winger. His shot was parried by Sweeney

Promotion on the cards for Ribble Valley teams


WITH just three matches left in the comjjetitive Great Har­ wood and District Bowling League, three Ribble Valiev teams are aiming to clinch promotion from their respec­ tive divisions. In their first season in the


league, Haslingden have won the Fourth Division convinc­ ingly, but Subden Black are


favourites for second place fol­


lowing their win over Free Gardeners. Castle B, 10 {joints adrift of


Sabden, still harbour an outside chance of second spot.

Castle A and Clitheroe Cricket are battling to join Leisure Hour in Division Two next year. Leisure Hour need iust one

A SPORTING excellence award from Ribble Valley Borough Council has been instrumental in lifting the fo r tu n e s o f a Wors ton weightlifter. Gillian King (21), a former

Stanley’s defenders were invari­ ably caught outnumbered or out of position, but the Blues were unable to make them pay for their sloppiness. Clitheroe's best effort of the


John Duckworth Trophy pleased with the way it went


toduy. Obviously it is good to win the game and it’s a big plus that we were able to see all our nlayers.


“We have b : been doing things l ir. training and today we couhl see


them coming off. And when we didn’t have the ball it was great

to see the lads making it hard for them.’’


Clitheroe: Sweeney, Row-

wood. “All this week we have been working towards Saturday and we are going into the match full of confidence.” There have been no midweek friendlies in the week prior to the


league’s kick-off so that the team can put the finishing touches to their pre-season preparatory work. Merseyside is the Blues destination on Saturday for their first


league game against Prescot. Their first home match is scheduled for Mondav evening against

natural position is right back but he is proving to be comfortable in midfield.


With the new rules this season allowing a goalkeeper as a third substitute, it is likely that Denis Underwood will be taking his


track suit along to most matches. But Garv Butcher is likelv to be seen on the pitch more than his managerial partner. Good luck Clitheroe!
