Classy Clitheroe cruise to convincing win


Clitheroe 30 Carnforth 7


THE New Zealand Barbarians may have been playing at Twickenham, but for a true dis­ play of All Black-style rugby, the cameras should have been at Littlemoor Park on Satur­


day. In a display of pace and power,


allied to some good handling and passing, Clitheroe ran in four excel­ lent tries to record a convincing victory over strong opponents. Defence was again the bedrock on


which this victory was built and, but for one small lapse early in the first half, Carnforth would have gone home com­ pletely empty handed. As it was the Camforth try only served


or space by the Green and Whites and Dan Hayhurst’s pick-up try was scant rewarded for such first-half dominance. Shortly after the interval, however, fur­


not inconsiderable bulk to punch holes


paid dividends, the game plan being executed perfectly as the forwards were driven on time and time again by props Harry Proctor and Andrew Thornber, supported by flankers Alan Nuttall and Roger Holmes. A good clean supply of possession was once again produced by the second row partnership of Martin Wigley and Bob Wilkinson. This allowed scrum half Dave Barnes


to wake the home side from the Cap­ tain’s Dinner-induced hangovers. Hard work in training during the week


down the middle of the pitch. This score along with Barnes* first, one conversion and two penalties by Declan O’Duffy enabled Clitheroe to lead 18-7 at half-time. The second half was much of the same as the first, Clitheroe dominating rucks, mauls and lineouts. Barnes collected his second score and Kris Tyas was unlucky after a fine 70-yard run. Centres Dave Watson and Ian Ibbot- son both ran well, tackled hard and in general snuffed out any threat posed by the Camforth three-quarters. Clitheroe’s final score was again the


product of quickly won ruck ball. Barnes and Thornber combined to release winger Andy Burrill on an easy


run in from 25 yards. Only a little Thornber vocal encour­


agement was needed to persuade Bur­ rill to score by the posts as opposed to in the comer — O’Duffy converting to complete the scoring. St Mary’s Hall 15 St John’s, Windsor 3


the time and space to either set the backs in motion or exploit gaps himself, doing this to great effect he was unlucky not to score a hat-trick of tries. Clitheroe’s first try was notched by number eight Mike Francis, revelling in his new back row position, who used his

Happy returns forGraham THE l l t h running


IN the clash of the two Stonyhurst P re p a ra to ry schools i t was the home side who won in emphatic


style to lift The Reidy Cup. St John's were always going to be a


tough proposition with some big for­ ward and potentially dangerous three-


quarters. However, they were given no freedom


ther pressure on the London sides line brought an opportunist try by Whal- lev’s Clive Burrows, who pounced on a dropped ball to deliver the killer punch. St John’s bounced back with a well-


taken penalty goal to make the score 10-3 with only five minutes remaining.


Ryan McGill with two defenders to beat and he duly crossed in the corner, sending the majority of the 300 or so spectators into raptures.


But swift handling down the backs left


awesome: he orchestrated ever St Mary’s Hall move and is undoubtedly.- one of the best players to pull on the, famous green and white jersey. The whole pack worked tremendously: hard and deserve great credit.


Skipper Tommy Barnes was simply . •


size of a milk bottle, typified the. resilience of this marvellous team by marking their big, fast winger out of the


game.
