Fielding's incredible innings included 12 sixes and 13 fours and took just 79 deliveries.


Edenfield professional Keith Roscoe had no answer to Fielding’s aggression, going for 108 off his 15 overs.


Clitheroe’s innings started badly, with Paul Collinson falling early for six, but Robinson and Steven Whalley provided a solid founda­ tion for the later big hitting, taking the score through to 92 before Robinson finally fell to Riley.

IN a match which continually fluctuated with each side gaining an initiative with bat or ball, Blackburn Northern inflicted lead­ ers Read’s first defeat of the season with one wicket and five balls to spare.


That was despite Read pro­ fessional Shaid Nawaz’s haul of 8-54, a sign of things to come against Padiham. Read batted first and lost


run-machine Nawaz in the fourth over, Duncan Smith having him caught by Ahmed with only two on the board. Nick Marsh followed him 10


overs later, caught by Boswell off the same bowler.


Worse was to follow when


Terry Little holed out to Weaver off Hacking.

Waddington take over while New Inn praise Monk!


WADDINGTON are the new leaders of the Clitheroe and District Midweek Cricket League after they defeated Chipping by seven wickets. New Inn batsman Chris Monk was “over the moon” with


his undefeated 50 which helped his side jump into joint second place with a 10-wicket win over Calderstones. The Waggon and Horses roll came to a full stop when


they suffered a six wicket defeat at hand of Chatbum. The most exciting match of the evening was at Chatburn Road where Catholic SC, led by Phil Bishop (50), raced along at more than eight runs an over. In reply Rimington set about their task with gusto and


reached the target with just one ball remaining. RESULTS

• WHALLEY’S disastrous start to the season continued on Saturday with a heavy defeat at the hands of Earby. Batting first Whalley made life difficult


for themselves, with only Mackintosh (31) making any real contribution to the score. No other player made it into double-fig­


ures with Keighley being the next top scorer on nine. Three players failed to get off the mark as the Earby combination of Jonathan Har­ vey and the impressive Glynn Sedman made light work of the Whalley batting. Both openers bowled through with pro­


fessional Harvey taking 2-37, and Sedman scooping 7-25. The Whalley batting managed to last


just 27.2 overs and had notched up 63 runs in that time. With such a modest target to chase


Earby shuffled their batting line-up to give some of their lower order a spell at the crease. Steven Pickles went almost straight away without getting off the mark and Sam . Munns followed soon after for just five. Andrew Pickles had made 17 when he


was bowled by Whalley professional Mark Fallon, but Paul Tilbury’s unbeaten 23 went a long way to seeing Earby home. Chris Walton contributed 13 and was the


last man out, caught by O’Neill off Fal­ lon, before the combination of Tilbury and Nigel Pickles (eight not out) saw Earby home with the innings just 22 overs old. Fallon had been the pick of the bowling

Although “Jimmy’s” made a fight of it, good Chatbum bowling and fielding kept their score down to 144 all out. Chatbum seconds lost their first match of the season when they trav­

elled to meet their James Nelson's counterparts at Clough Head. Their lacklustre league performance allowed “Jimmy’s” to amass 196 -8, with only Gary Clarkson (3-46) a Chatbum bowler of note. Chatbum could only muster 97 in return, Graeme Hoanan (32) and


Dave Lakin (19), the only two batsmen to reach double figures. On Sunday, it was a different kettle of fish, as the team romped to vic­


tory in the Cowling Cup at Airedale. Brian Jones (6-25), aided by Andrew Booth (3-14), destroyed the home team’s batting as it collapsed to 83 all out. Then the village bats­ men Dave Lakin (23), Roger Harrison (20), Gary Clarkson (12) and Gavin Yeoman (10 not out) overhauled the target for the loss of five wickets.
