VALUE FOR MONEY MAESTROS 1991 M A E S T R O 1.6LX; p ow e r steering, slightly high on mileage,


£7495 is a Rover for the fortunate few. A limited edition, Rover have included some special touches such as uniquely styled wheeltrims and a special range of colours including metallic Nightfire red and Kingfisher blue. With the addition of central locking the Kensington SE is great value for money. You'll find that a highly efficient alarm and immobiliser, side impact beams and that fun to drive factor give you one great small car package that's also a little unique. As a final persuader (as if this Rover needs it) is our offer of free insurance, subject to our terms below.

e ry is on. A f te r hitting their first


senior league match-winning replv last week at Settle, they battled hard to earn their first home fiv e -p o in ts against Bla ck burn N o r th e rn on


Saturday. The victory enables the


Church Meadow team to move alongside Clitheroe and the fact that they now share bot­ tom sjwt is a more attractive situation than any other they have been in this season. I t is all a matter o f con­


fidence and the team has obviously gained plenty by


retrieving a score in the 180s


the week before. Blackburn Northern won


the toss and elected to bat and Ribblesdale openers Graham Monk and Ian Britcliffe gave


the opening stand some anx­ ious moments early on with pace man Britcliffe particu­


larly unlucky not to pick up a wicket as he was played and missed. An early bowling change


saw Terry Braithwaite take over from Britcliffe as the


openers got on top o f his


bowling and it rapidly paid dividends when Bromley was caught behind by John Rain


for 26. That left talented Jamaican


professional Richard Staple at the crease with hard-hitting skipper Nig el Robbins ana Staple looked extremely com­


fortable, defending solidly and stroking the bad ball to the boundary with ease to display all the hallmarks of an open­ ing batsman. Ribblesdale’s spin-attack

The Rossendale Valley out­

the next. A t this stage last year, Clitheroe, Ribblesdale Wanderers and Whalley, were positioned in three of the top five places. This year, along with Read, the four local clubs occupy four of the bottom five positions.

accuracy though and North­ ern, finding runs hard to come bv, became frustrated. Rob­ bins eventually clubbed him to Paul Spencer of f Monk and Neil Weaver followed him for


just eight prior to the ail-im- jjortant wicket of the profes­


sional 10 runs later. l ie was run out with the


score on 123 and Northern crawled to a total of 167-6 after that and Monk was the


pick o f Ribblesdale’s three trawlers with a return of 4-53. The Wanderers openers made a determined start putting on 41 for the first wicket when professional Mike Ward was caught by Nigel Robbins at mid-wicket oft Iqbal. His dismissal made way for


Simon Duckworth who has earned his place in the first team after some consistently high-scoring performances in th e se c on d and th ird elevens. I t was a tough S enio r


League initiation as he faced a professional firing with gen­ uine pace and fire. The West Indian took his bails with the score on 52 and that made way for Martin Briggs, fresh


from a half-century a week earlier.


He batted with fortitude


once again and settled down to a productive stand with


Davies. The two Martins


raised the total to 88 when Davies w’as bowled by Iqbal having made a dogged and


courageous 56. Briggs and John Rain took


the score on to 155 before the former was bowled by Staple for an excellent 45 off 46 balls which was instrumental in the home side’s triumph. With only 12 runs required,


Steve Proctor ioined Rain at the crease anti the pair saw Wanderers home w’ith five


overs to spare. Captain Steve Proctor was


delighted with the victory and


paid tribute to opening bats- man Martin Davies, who had laid the foundations fo r


victory. “Martin's 56 was probably


the most difficult innings he has had to play, particularly against the pace o f Staple. He was bruised from head to toe and his anchor role proved to be the key to winning the


game for us." WEEKEND TEAMS
