RIBBLESDALE


CRICKET LEAGUE Senior League round-up


Clitheroe in command


WITH their two seven point victories at the weekend, Clitheroe have established a three |Miint lead at the top of the Vaux Kihblcsdale Senior


League. Second-placed (.rent Har­


wood managed two fivo- point victories, as did third- placed Whalley, who are 11 points adrift o f the leaders. The most satisfying bonus


for Clitheroe at the weekend was their victory over their great rivals, Kihblcsdale Wanderers, in an enthralling


encounter. Whallev host Great Har­


wood on Saturday and will be looking for their second win over them this season to remain in contention. Hihblesdale’s chances ot


the title, which looked so realistic at the start of the season, have disappeared with Sunday’s defeat, but tlicv mav still have a chance o f a place in next year's Lancashire Cup i f they make su f f ic ien t ground up on


Whalley. Head will be heartened by


their first win in over two months and they will be hop­


ing to maintain similar stan­ dards when Barnoldswick visit Whalley Koad on


Saturday. Other results: Saturday —

70 years. Now his problem is not lit- . people to play him. f Harry, who is a native ot

Wanderers feel backlash


Barnoldswick 195 for 3 (7 pts) Kihblcsdale W. 194 all out


RIBBLESDALE were on the


receiving end of a fired-up Barnoldswick side, eager to compensate for their Rams-


bottom Cuii failure. Batting first, Wanderers_ got


off to a reasonable start. They lost Martin Davies in the fifth over, caught off the bowling of Parkinson, hut the pro and Paul Allen then put on a stand of 61 before the opener departed, Ibw


to the bowling of Manville. Shane Martin held the Ribb-


lesdale innings together as the middle order and tall-enders, with the exception of a steady 25 from David Howard, crum­


bled around him. The Aussie was finally bowled


by Parkinson, but his 79 off SO balls, went a long way to giving his side a respectable 194. The Chureh Meadow side got


off to us good u sturt us they could have hoped for after the


interval. After two opening maidens from Martin and Gra­ ham Monk.the latter broke


through with his first ball or his second over when he clean


bowled Whipp. But Barnoldswick s Austra­


lian professional came to the crease and, together with Ian Southern, put on a massive part­


nership of 178.


Scothem played the anchor role while Darryle MacDonald


smashed his way through his 50 with 10 boundaries. In the


econd half of his century he


slowed down but his final 112, nlnnif with Smthem’s 69


overs to spare. Kibblesdale W. P. Allen Ibw Manville....^... 31
