EAD did all they could pos­ sibly do to snatch the Vaux Ribblesdale League title, but


events at the Applegarth meant


those efforts were in vain. The locals finished agonisingly three


poin ts behind Earby, despite easily beating Settle, who finished bottom as a result. The game was over by 6.20 p.m., with


Read requiring only 34 overs to reach their target, and the locals then had to wait for the outcome of Earby’s game with Great Harwood, which Earby won by five wick­ ets. Batting first, Settle openers Andrews and


Fleming gave early indications that then- plan was to avoid being all out, despite how many runs were scored. The pair had shared 34 in 10 overs when Fleming was bowled on seven by Shahid


Nawaz. Settle professional Paul Beech joined


Andrews and the slow run rate was con­ tinued, with only 26 scored off the next 16 overs.

cased past Immanuel with six wickets and 20 overs to spare. Clilheroe sent their opponents packing before the clock had


even turned towards six o'clock after a shaky start with the bat.


Immanuel openers Metcalfe and A. Dignan put on 42 in 16


overs before Fielding reached his ton of victims by trapping the former leg before on 28. Dignan was bowled by Simon Bishop without the score


moving on, and the wickets of Watson and Longworlh both fell to Fielding to leave the home side on 56-4. Professional Peter Gardiner and skipper Martin Heyes


shared 27 before Mick Dewhurst had the latter caught by Fielding on 12, and two more wickets were taken for the loss of just three runs as Dewhurst snapped up the scalps of R Dignan and Gardiner, although the paid man managed to pass 1,000 runs for the season. Hornsby and Snape put on 36 to take the score to 122, with


Snape run out off the final ball, desperately trying to snatch extra runs.


Fielding (3-45 off 22) and Dewhursl (3-21 off seven) were


the pick of the bowlers. Clilheroe’s reply to the meagre target got off to a stuttering


start when Fielding and Burns were both lost to the cause with the score on 18. But Robinson and Dewhurst batted sensibly before cut­


ting loose, putting on 75 for the third wicket to take the locals to the brink of victory. Dewhursl was finally out for 30, and although Steven


Whalley was bowled with the score on 113, Robinson and Neil Bolton saw their side home in the 25th over, Robin­ son's 62 coming off 68 balls.


Locals lose out in cup clash


Clitheroe 6 Moresby Park 15


CLITHEROE welcomed back Kris T y a s to th e side for what proved to be a hard-fought and bruis­ in g en cou n ter with Moresby Park in the first round of the Pilkington Shield on Saturday. Tyas, however, had little


opportunity to show his pace as the match was mainly fought out among the forwards. The Clitheroe pack was


magnificently led from the front by prop forward Harry Proctor and number 8 Steve


Taylor. Proctor was always willing


to drive into the heart ofm the Moresby Park defence, either from quickly-taken penalties or in open play. Taylor was on hand to tidy and loose possession and made good ground on numer­ ous occasions, often taking three or four defenders to stop him. Proctor and Taylor were well supported by Dave Tattersall and Andrew Thornber, deputising for the unavailable Mike Francis. The match was played on a


firm pitch with little or no wind, conditions ideally suit­ ed to Clitheroe’s open style of rugby. The opposition, how­ ever, were intent on keeping it in the forwards and and the first quarter revolved around some fierce rucking and mauling with a number of bordeline high tackles thrown in for good measure. Moresby Park opened the


scoring with a converted try but Clitheroe responded well and a Dave Watson penalty following a ruck offence cut


the lead to four points. With half-time approaching


a lapse in concentration let Moresby in for an unconvert­ ed try, to make it 12-3 to the


visitors at the Once again Clitheroe


responded well, Ian Fielding making good yardage down the middle and after a suc­


cession of rucks and mauls a penalty was finally awarded, Watson converting to make t hp score &-12.

the wicket, and their all- out total of 122 didn’t look enough, but a superb bowl­ ing and fielding perfor­ mance saw their opponents skittled for just 107, with outstanding opening bowler David O’Neill tak­ ing 5-42 off 13 overs, and professional Mark Fallon chipping in with 4-19 off 15 overs. Fallon it was who top-


scored in Whalley’s innings with 36, before he fell to Jackson, caught by Sud- worth, batting at number three. Sudworth was to snap up


another three catches in the field to help dismiss Andy Pratt (1), Westwood (12) and Lee Burgess (2), with professional Andrew Payne (4-24 off 18) and Jackson (3-24 off eight) benefiting. Aside from paid man Fal­


lon, opener Mackintosh hit 19, while 14 extras proved to be crucial. The game was heading


towards a close finish with Baxenden requiring 16 to win a t the death before O’Neill saw off Heys in the 42nd over, taking a return catch to clinch the victory. There had been small con­


tributions from Collins (26) and Rishton (21), but O’Neill and Fallon proved pretty much unplayable as they ripped through the Baxenden order in style to see their side off the bot­ tom. In the end, Whalley fin­


ished where they finished last season, one off the bot­ tom, with two points less, but if they can supplement the excellent opening bowl­ ing of O’Neill with some solid batting displays next term, they will hope for a considerably higher finish.

Langho prove new boss’s nightmare Langho 9, Chatburn 0


THE rain swept in waves over a sea of mud at Langho causing the referee to call off the game with Chatburn! MAX GARDNER reports


This could have been a dream, which left Chatburn player- manager Mark Boyd trembling in his bed in the early hours of Sunday morning. In reality, the game against local rivals Langho was played


ond fiddle and gained a share of the spoils through David Price and Jimmy Ingham, who ran from the halfway line and beat the keeper to net a point. • The Under 12s shared six goals when they clashed with


out in beautiful sunshine and was a nightmare for the new manager. The sweeping waves of rain were marauding Langho for­


wards, who fell incessantly upon the Chatbum goal, drench­ ing it with shot after shot, particularly in the second half. Like Captain Noah, Boyd stood on the bridge of the Ark


willing his creatures to get in the box, but after a valiant attempt at stemming the tide the floods overwhelmed him and his side sank, without trace. As early as 30 seconds into the match, Langho were awarded


Turton Tigers on Sunday. Jamie Barnes (penalty), Jimmy Ingham — he netted with a spectacular overhead kick—and Mathew Smith gave Whalley a 3-2 lead at the interval. In the second half the defences began to get a grip on things and James Nelson in the Whalley goal made some fine saves to ensure a share of the spoils. Whalley Under 10s conceded two early goals and were even­ tually beaten 7-1 by Blackburn Boys. Whalley rallied well after a nightmare start and got back into

the game with a fine goal by Scott Stanworth, only for Black­ burn to restore their two-goal advantage just before the break. Good defensive work restricted Blackburn to seven goals at


a penalty. A half-hearted header from Boyd left keeper Paul Craig with no option but to bring down Craig Andre. He, however, missed the target with his spot-kick. Though Langho were camped in the Chatbum half, pepper­


ing Craig’s goal, it was half-an-hour before they scored, Andre slamming home a poor clearance. A growing frustration was gripping the home side, but two goals before half-time — an angled drive from Rick Stevens and Andre's second — calmed their nerves. Six goals in the second half — one each from Keith Gill and Colin Cruse, a hat-trick from substitute Phil White and Andre’s third — drowned Chatbum. While Langho seemed destined to cruise onwards and upwards, Boyd might have to steer his crew through some very rough waters.


ULTRAFRAME shared six goals in a thrilling draw with league favourites Enfield at the weekend. From the start the locals dominated proceedings with


Dominic Chapman volleying Stafford Linford’s long throw home. Playing some attractive football, Ultraframe grabbed anoth­ er goal five minutes later after captain Mark Davies surged through from his own box before smashing a 25-yarder into the roof of the net. However, Enfield came back to level matters, and they took


a shock lead with five minutes remaining. The locals made one last desperate effort to equalise, and


Shane Parker’s cross landed in the back of the net to snatch a deserved point. Manager Chris Musker was delighted with the side's perfor­ mance, and if they can produce this sort of form every week, then silverware is a possibility this season.


Greenfield 0, Clitheroe Social Club 2


MAKING their debut in the Darwen Football League, Clitheroe Social Club came away with the points from a scrappy affair at Blacksnape. The Socials opened their account on 20 minutes when Mar­ tin Aspinwall nipped in behind a static back four. Despite creating several more chances before the break, the locals had to settle for that lead. But the locals got the vital second goal just after the hour, Aspinwall netting his second. And that was how it ended, with great credit going to the locals’ defence, with goalkeeper Barnes only forced to make two saves throughout the game.


The Under 1 Is thumped Little Harwood 14-0 on their oppo­ nents’ home pitch, with Glenn Dinsdale getting them on their way with the opener, Matthew Musgrove netting four, John Knowles hitting a hat-trick, Lee Waller and Mark Hitchin grabbing a brace each, Richard Hodges also on target with an own goal completing the rout. Waller’s performance earned him the man-of-the-match award. However, the Under 9s lost their opening home match by the

Full-back Gary Haslam fired Whalley in front with a great shot from outside the box and Revidge equalised against the run of play short­ ly before the interval. The second half started with Whalley yet again creating chance after chance and it was only a matter of time before they regained the lead through Andy Bennett. Shortly after Adam Stevenson calmly picked his spot after Sam Stell’s shot had been saved and Richard Whalley completed the scoring late in the game. Whalley Under 9s defeated their Under 8 rivals 3-0 in the Blackburn and Darwen League. During the first half the Under 9s were forced to defend for long periods, Adam Hargreaves shining to prevent the Under 8s from taking the lead. In the second half the Under 9s began to get on top and good goals from Calum McMahon, Darren Fothergill and Sam Dean secured the points. Goal­ keeper Donald Wharton was star man for the Under 8s and Andrew Hargreaves won the man-of-the-match nomination for the Under 9s.
