Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, September 4th, 1997 27


Juniors joined forces to give budding local footballers some expert tuition.


B


During the recent school holidays, the


Rovers coaching staff taught local children all the basic football skills such as passing, drib­ bling, heading and tackling at the Ridings Playing Fields in Lang­ ho.


There was a good turnout, and many


will hope to put those skills into practice for Langho Juniors this season.


The young footballers are pictured with the


Rovers coaching staff (CATU684).

CUP AND LEAGUE JOY FOR THE BLUES

at Castleton Gabriels on Saturday. Th ey will play Jarrow Roofing o f Boldon in the next


THE Blues made it through to the next


round. Gabriels, from a division lower than Clitheroe, proved


tough opposition but the Blues deserved the win after creating more clear-cut chances. Paul Mullin was unlucky when he beat a defender and


the keeper saved well. Castleton hit back and Clitheroe keeper Dawson had


to be quick to stop Castleton from winning a comer. Clitheroe skipper Chris Crimshaw was causing prob­


lems but his fron t men were often caught out b y a tough-tackling Gabriels’ defence. I t was Castleton who came closest to scoring when


they struck a post with Dawson beaten. But neither side found their attacking play producing


many results and the first half was scrappy for long


periods. . Clitheroe managed to book their passage into the next


round after 48 minutes when danger-man Grimshaw ran d ow n th e r ig h t and crossed th e b a l l to the unmarked Ma rk Walsh.


He headed past the keeper from close range. Paul Lynch was unlucky to see his header flash past


the post, but Gabriels then began to pressure the


Blues’ defence. Clitheroe were fortunate when Dawson failed to hold a


cross but no Gabriels player was on hand to put the


ball into the net. W ith time running out Clitheroe put the shutters up


and Castleton could not find a way through. Clitheroe 4, Rossendale United 1


United at Shawbridge on Monday.,.. The visitors were without five of their regular players,


C


but still managed to give Clitheroe a good fight. As early as the eighth minute Paul Lynch hit a post


but Rossendale hit back.


I John Ogden, a new signing from Leigh R M I brought 1 in to cover for the absent John Mo rre y who is away with work, pulled of f a fine save. A f te r 20 minutes D a ve Bennett, also making his debut, scored with a vicious left-foot shot into the far


comer o f the net. On 39 minutes Rossendale equalised when a scorching


shot from John Eastham flew in towards goal and was only partially cleared. Eastham was on hand to slip


the ball home. Th e score at half-time was 1-1, but man-of-the-match


Bennett was determined it would not stay that way


too long into the second half. H e put Clitheroe back in front on 55 minutes when he


gave Paul Horridge no chance with a neat shot. Th is seemed to end the Dalesmen’s appetite for the


game, and they came under pressure constantly with A n d y Ta y lor playing some good forward balls to his


men. On 70 minutes Walsh hit the net following a good


move from Dave Sharpies. Th e Blues completed the scoring on 89 minutes when


Grimshaw’s comer found the head of X a v Bowers and he powered i t past the keeper to give the Blues anoth­ er three points.

arranged for a later date yet to be announced. But Monday night’s home clash with local rivals Darwen


will go ahead with a 7-30 p.m. kick-off. Denis and his side are looking forward to what is always


an interesting game. “ I don’t think we have got things quite right yet,” he said.


“ But at times we are playing some great football, and


things are going in the right direction. “ The most important thing on Saturday was to get a win


after losing two games. “ There’s nothing worse after a couple of bad results than


to play well and lose. “We didn’t play that badly, in fact we played quite well in


patches, but the result was the most important thing. “ On Monday we played much better and got o f f to a


great start.” Dave Bennett is back at the club and scored two goals in


his first game of the season on Monday. Goalkeeper John Morrey is away on holiday and John

Gamer had one golden chance to equalise but his shot was straight a t the keeper. The second half began in spectacular fasion for Clitheroe.


A comer after 47 minutes came out to Anderton and the central defender fired home from 20 yards. A minute later a jinking run by skipper. Holding took him into the area and his pass to second half substitute Dave


Horrocks was put beyond the keeper. The next 20 minutes found the reserves well on top, but


they could not add to the score. A s the half came to end Chadderton were once again proving dangerous and only a great save by Ormerod kept


Clitheroe in front. But the points were safe and the Shawbridge outfit main­ tained their 100 per cent start to the season.

A


C O N V IN C IN G 8-1 win over West End saw Readstone United Under 10s


start the season in superb style. Steve James hit half the goals, with John


Thompson adding two, and Benjamin Heap and Michael Whittaker one each. However, the Under 11s lost out 5-0 to the


same club, despite a fine performance from Kevin Golding. The Under 12s lost out 9-0 against Bar-


rowford Celtic, but the Under 14s had nine goals in the plus column, beating White Horse Colts 9-1. Martyn Thompson and Scott Robinson


both netted hat-tricks, while Hudson Par­ sons (2 ) and Rupert Craddock were also on target. Last season’s Under 15 B Division cham­


pions Whalley hammered Darwen Cricket Club 9-1 in their first match. Adam Stevenson fired them in front, and


R yan P e el added two more before the break. G a ry H a slam, James Jackson, P h i l


McG auley, Richa rd W h a l le y and two more from man-of-the-match Stevenson, to complete his hat-trick, completed the scoring. Whalley and McGauley stood out in an


excellent team performance. Despite gifting St Joseph’s the opener in


the first minute, Whalley Under 12s recov­


ered to win 2-1. The locals equalised after the break when


Jamie Enefer’s free kick was headed over the keeper by his own defender for an own goal, and Enefer’s late strike sealed the


points. Terry Fothergill was outstanding. The newly-formed Under 16s played their


first competitive match, and although los­ ing 7-1 after pulling level at 1-1 through Dave Walker’s long-range chip — the goal of the game— Whalley competed well and Patrick Noone was star man. Whalley Under 14s had to field a 10-man


team against Blackburn Boys, and they lost out 12-0. The lads gave everything despite being


under the cosh for most of the game, and David Bailey stood out. The Under 13s lost out 1-0 to St Joseph’s


in dramatic fashion.. In the last minute, a David Mercer free


kick thundered against the angle of post and bar and the visitors broke down the field to score the winner. Goalkeeper James Nelson was man-of-


the-match. Clitheroe Wolves Under 12s got their sea­


son off to a fine start with magnificent 8-0 win over Brierfield Celtic in the Burnley and District Youth League. The team got of f to a great start playing


some fine football and took a 6-0 lead by the break. I t took time to get to grips with a strong


wind in the second half, but when they did they played well and knocked in another


couple of goals. _ Scorers were M a rk H itchin w ith four,


man-of-the-match Michael Galeski with a hat-trick and Karl Fowler with the other.


E S P IT E ou tp la y in g S p r in gh i l l , Craven H e i fe r could n o t conve rt chances into goals and lost out to a penal-,


D


ty strike. The locals were on top from the start as


they dominated the first 20 minutes. Scrivens had two good headers well saved,


while Aspinwall was unlucky to see two great shots go wide. Then Blenkinship played Shears in with a lovely pass, only for the keeper to make a


great save. The home side had just two shots at goal


in the first period as Craven played good attacking football, but the sides went in level at the break. Springhill came more into the game after the restart, but again the locals wasted


good chances. Springhill then broke away and their for­ ward was fouled in the box, resulting in a


penalty. Th e spot kick was netted, and with 10


minutes left, Craven had it all to do. The locals applied some real pressure, but


they found the opposing keeper in great form, stopping efforts from Aspinwall and Shears. Scrivens moved up fron t and put two


good headers over, but i t was not to be for the locals.

by N ei l Bolton of f Paul Seedle. W ith nine overs left and seven wickets in hand,


Immanuel were looking at an intimidating total


for Clitheroe to chase. But although the home side managed to add 59


runs, Clitheroe managed to break things up by


taking four wickets. Simon Bishop trapped Barnes with the score on


183, b e fore Lawren ce was f in a l ly dismissed, stumped by N eil Winkley of f Fielding after reach­ ing a fabulous 103 of f just 110 balls, including 14


boundaries. Westwell suffered the same fate, and Mayers was


run out in the final over, before the home side


closed on 215-7. Cherry Tree knew at the interval i f they could


bowl out Edenfield, they would be champions. Clitheroe put that out of their minds to complete


their victory over Immanuel in superb style. Despite losing Andy Robinson (12) with the score on 28, Mark Bolton and Andy Bums shared 61 to


take the score to 89 in the 20th over. However, Bums fell in that over on 37, bowled by


Lawrence. Fielding came in to partner Bolton and that par­

time, before Overy was bowled b y Qadir in his second : spell. .


; Monk took over proceedings with judicious hitting tak­


ing the score to 203. ; However, w ith one needed to tie and two to win, he attempted another big hit and holed out to Haworth of f


Nawaz on 39. The game was a credit to cricket with both sides giving


their all, particularly young debutant Haworth, who was third top-scorer for Read with 21, and then took two catches on the boundary, the second of which ended the


game. H e gave a performance which augurs well for the future,


earning the fielding point from the umpires. .


Whalley at Back Lane after } lost opener Willan on 18. the locals had compiled a But professional D a vid more-than-defendable total. Skipper Mark Fallon won


L


the toss and chose to bat, and he and Paul Macintosh made a fine start. They put on 43 in the first


10 overs, and had reached 69 in the 16th when Fallon was caught on 25. Macintosh was stumped in'


the next over on 41, leaving N ick K e ighley and John Kearsley at the crease. They added 27 before Kearsley was run out on 22. Keighley carried on unabat­


ed with Andy Pratt as they shared 46. Keighley was out to a return catch on 28, and with eight overs left, Whal­ ley stood at 145-4. They added 39, but at the


expense o f another four wickets. Whalley ended on 191-8 and looked in good shape.


OWLY Baxenden inflict- Baxenden’s reply started at ed a surprise defeat on a similar pace, although they


TUsher and Rishton were 'inseparable as they stood firm in a century partnership which set the home side up for victory. Rishton was stumped by


David Westwood off Fallon on 43, and Usher was caught by Fallon off Dave O’Neill shortly after on 71. Watson and Jellie took the score to 141, O’Neill bowling


■ Jellie on seven, and O’Neill also saw off Watson (14) as Baxenden stumbled to 150- 5.


With five overs left, and 42


required, Wha l ley again looked in command, but M cC o y blasted 27 o f f 19 balls as he and Hargreaves added 36, before Fallon bowled him. And with just over two


overs left, Hargreaves and Clague completed the job.
