Key men re-sign as Blues prepare for season’s start


TH E determination of Clitheroe co-managers Denis Underwood and Gary Butcher to go out and w in the C a r l in g North West Counties’ L e a gu e championship has been shared by the team who went so close


last time around. T h e te am 's b a ck b on e,


in c lu d in g s k ip n e r L e e Sculpher, full-back Neil Row- botham, league player-of-the-


. year Andy Houine and strik­ ers Mark Heys. Ian Pilking-


ton and Andy Taylor have all put pen to paper to boost the club's pre-season morale. Said Denis: “ There were


certain players we wanted to re-sign as soon as possible for obvious reasons. We have had to talk to many of the players and explain tne situation of missing promotion. Some of them heard about it for the f irst time and were disap­ pointed but they realise that we have to put it behind us and all of them are happy to stay with us which is very good news." “ I f we can keep that squad together and add a couple of


fresh faces, we should be very strong again this season.” The Clitheroe managers


have stepped up their search for new blood now the team


is back in training and a goalkeeper is top priority. “We are tracking a goal­


keeper and hope to nave someone signed over the next week. A quality goalkeeper is a real priority and we are also looking for another striker." The bi-weekly training ses­


sions have had a big response from local players which is also h e a r te n in g fo r the


management. “There arc some good local


lads training with us and it is good to have them involved. We are allowed to use three substitutes in the league next season so that might give a chance for younger players to make in-roads into the first team reckoning."


One new signing already


made is Blackburn-based forward John Eastham who has caught the eye o f both

CRICKET EXTRA Whalley in a spin


Osw. Immanuel 181-tirti), Whalley III


O F F -S P IN N E R Gerald Metcalf caused Whalley’s domino ra l ly b a t t in g order to fall before any sort o f sustained effort had been shown to reach the home side’s target. The all-rounder had earlier


hit 67 with the bat, which was three more than the entire Whalley order managed, as the same player instigated an all out total of 64 with 5-7 off his 7.2 overs. W h i le W h a l le y captain


Andy Pratt was bitterly dis­ appointed with the second successive einbarrasing col­ lapse, he expects a different s to ry when the two sides meet at Station Road on


Saturday. “ The wicket did not help


us,” said the Whalley skipper, “ it cracked' up a lo t and assisted the off-spinner, but there was no excuse for our show. It was a track that we should have scored more off." Home professional Kenny


Jackson got the ball rolling for Oswaldtwistle with a battling 60 which was e v entu a l ly


ended by Lee Burgess before


David 6’Neill took his first .wickets, trapping Metcalf for 67 and then having Barnes caught by Dave Redhead.. . ..The -final- total of* 184-6* looked a competitive one and Whalley's batting inadeque- cies were soon highlighted in reply. N ic k K e ig h le y and his


replacement Phil Mercer were both casualties of the run out and opener John Kearsley only received any sustained


support from fourth-bat Mick Granam, who hit 13 opposite the stalwart.


The South A fr ic an pro


caught and bowled Graham and P ratt followed before M e tc a l f took hold o f the remaining order, accounting for everyone other than Bur­ gess as the Church outfit con­ vincingly registered their first ever win over the villagers.

AT the halfway stage of the season it looked like


Rimington were going to romp away with the league title. But what a difference a week makes! In their latest match they met


a determined Chatburn XI who, not only beat them, but gave them a good hammering. Bat­ ting first, Chatburn amassed 189 runs in IS overs with all the batsmen chipping in with useful totals. In reply, the league leaders


started well and Ian Bithell clouted five sixes off one over,


but once he was out, the innings fell away and Chatburn won by 83 runs. Rimington remain four points


clear of the pack despite defeat us second-placed Catholic SC came to grief at Waddington. The Catholics scored 111 runs


in 20 overs which the village side, led by Chris Stott (50


n.o.), passed with three overs to spare. Riversiders failed to capitalise


when they were beaten by Wag­ gon and Horses. I’. Blackburn


scored an undefeated 50 as his side posted runs ut seven an over. Waggon passed this score in the final over with Neil Bol­ ton scoring 50 rno and Dave Winckley scoring 25 not out at the end to see his side home. At the bottom of the table.
