Clitheroe 22324 (Editorial), 22323 (Advertising). Burnley 422331 (Classified) Ambitious Clitheroe aim to shoot to the top THE ambition of Clitheroe Football Club to climb


up the non-league pyramid has never been more in evidence as manager Alan Bradshaw hopes to con­ t ract two of his exciting young prospects to the


club. Two-year deals are being negotiated with both


f i t - a g a in s t r ik e r Jo n P e nman and lynchpin


defender Ilussell l’roctor. Both players have been attract ing a lot of at ten­


tion from clubs at a higher level, but the young Blues have time on their side and their manager hopes that they will commit their immediate future


to Shawbridge. Said Mr Bradshaw: “ If we arc going to have any


ambition we must try and keep our best players at the club. In the past weeks the side has started to show real form and there have been enquir ies about our players coming in from other clubs.” Jon Penman (22), celebrated his first !)() minutes


the best football of his career in this, his second


spell at the club. At the end of last season, the Blues lost the ser­


vices of talented wing man Ian Monk, who joined Ashton United, without a fee going to Clitheroc.


I f the players agree to the negot iat ions this


week, then the club would have broken new ground by becoming the first players under Alan Brad­ shaw’s ntanangership to have contracts offered


with the club. ' Mr Bradshaw concluded: “The two lads play in


vital positions and are good enough to build a team round. Our squad is looking very strong now with good competition for places.”


The boss was less enthusiastic about Saturday’s


back from injury with a 20-yard screamer at his previous club Darwen on Monday night, while for­ mer Chnrlev man Russell Proctor (20), is enjoying
