BY JUSTIN CONNOLLY AND CHRIS BODEN


Speaking after the Blues’ 4-1 win over Salford City, Denis said: “We know


what we have to do and I think we can d o i t .


“After the last couple of games we real­


ly needed a win to get back on the right track. “ I wasn’t too happy with the way we


played tonight, but we have won 4-1 and we will settle for that. “There were patches of the game when


we played well, one move in the first half when Clive Dunn headed wide was what Clitheroe’s football is all about. “B u t we gave th e ball away fa r too often in the middle of the pitch and we


really can’t afford to do that. “But i t was nice to win and th a t will do


our confidence a world of good. “Jon Riley came back tonight and that


gives us another option up front, some­ thing we have been lacking recently. “Apart from Steve Denny, who is suffer­


ing from conjunctivitus, we are up to something like full-strength for Satur­ day's game. “ I saw Man g o ts field b e a t R au n d s Town in the quarter-final and they are a

But the result does not tell


the whole story of a perfor­ mance which was not as con­ vincing as the scoreline sug­ gests. After losing to Burscough last

in the first-half and did create enough in front of goal to have the game won by the break. Gary Butcher headed wide

looped over Gary Stones in the Salford goal, but Stones caught the ball well before dropping it a t the feet of the advancing Riley. The keeper dived on the ball


but it got caught between his legs as Riley frantically tried to


force it into the net. Finally, the keeper got a hand to it and the danger was averted. Danger came at the other end


for Clitheroe when Paul Mars- den found himself in space down the r ig h t a f te r Neil Baron had mis-timed an attempted interception. Marsden raced towards Carlo


Nash's goal but Baron did well to recover and close the for­ ward down. He could not find space for the shot and ended up blasting the ball wide. When Clitheroe finally took


the lead on the half-hour mark, the goal could not have come in a simpler fashion. The Blues won a corner on the


right which was swung into the area by winger Hill.


Central defender Baron rose


highest and met the ball with a firm header which the Salford keeper could not keep out. The best move of the game fol­ lowed a minute after the goal. Chris Grimshaw knocked the


ball in to Riley who played it back to Butcher in the middle of the pitch. Butcher’s first time ball found


hard for Clitheroe’s cause with­ out having too many chances. Mullin almost restored the


lead just minutes after coming on but he was beaten to a Grimshaw through-ball by the Salford keeper. Clitheroe’s second goal came


Andy Rouine on the right and his cross was inch-perfect for Clive Dunn a t the far post but the striker headed narrowly past wide. After the break Clitheroe went off the boil and stopped going forward. They seemed to sit back con­


ten t to soak up the Salford pressure and in the end they


paid the price. For the first 20 minutes of the


half they looked comfortable, but Salford had so much of the ball it seemed only a matter of time before they made the breakthrough. It came half-way through the


half and as a result of some great skill from Salford’s Chris Gardner. The tiny quicksilver striker


controlled a looping cross superbly to lay the ball into the p a th of the advancing Matthew Smith. The Salford number nine


with just seven minutes left on the clock and it was almost as simple as the first. Hill was the provider again as


his free-kick from the left was headed down by a Salford defender into the path of Butcher who fired past Stones from close range. Hill was replaced by Taylor


straight after the goal and he immediately made an impact on the game. Taylor found himself free


down the right and his cross found Mullin in the area. The Clitheroe s tr ik e r was


unchallenged and left to take his time with a finish which was perfectly excecuted and left Stones with no chance. Clitheroe were not finished yet

header from the Rossendale striker was placed well out of the reach of Clitheroe keeper Carlo Nash. The Blues really didn’t settle into their game as Rossendale refused to allow them time on the ball. They carved out a good chance on the half-hour when Paul Mullin headed on for Andy Dar­ byshire who cut inside the defender but saw his fierce drive well saved by former Burnley keeper Chris Pearce in the Dale goal. A minute later the Blues pulled a goal back when Mullin beat the offside trap and raced for­

the start of the second-half when they gave the ball away on the half-way line and Rossendale were allowed to carry the ball into the penalty area unchallenged. From close range the Dale striker put his side back into the lead. Andy Roiune was then brought into the fray and immediatly made an impact as Clitheroe


started to apply some pressure. Clive Dunn was particularly instrumental in a


number of Clitheroe attacks and was unlucky not to score himself when he watched a powerful shot skim the Rossendale post. With 20 minutes left on the clock the pressure
