By Chris Boden After losing two consecu­


tive games for the first time since the back end of 1995, the Blues regained winning- ways a t Mossley, and they are also in cup action a t the weekend a t Newcastle. Denis said: “We played


very well on Tuesday night. “After losing a t Trafford,


one or two of the players felt they owed us one, and all 11 who started were outstand­


ing. “I t was a big blow to lose at


Trafford, and we were glad to take our minds off things

ball to be played and we are still in with a shout. “Losing a t Trafford was


disappointing. “We played well in the first

without creating too many chances, but they didn’t trouble us. “Then th ey got a lucky

C L ITH E R O E threw away a two goal half-time lead to lowly Daisy Hill in what could only be termed a


pathetic second half display. Too many players assumed the game


was over at 2-0 and showed exactly why they are in the reserves and not with


the first team squad. Only Steve Lampion came away with


any credibility but, try as he might, he couldn’t rase many more to a level any­

not get near the ball and Ward should have made it 3-0 but struck the post. Then Clitheroe began to relax and the


visitors slowly saw that there could be


something in the game for them. They pulled a goal back early m the


second half via a penalty when Lee Dobson handled in the area in a now regular moment of indecision between a defender and keeper James Goodman. Daisy Hill equalised on the hour when


once again the home defence was found wanting and Goodman was given no


chance by the visiting striker. The visitors could sense a victory and the now non-existent home defence


seemed to encourage it —- but somehow the goal wasn’t forthcoming. But i t wasn’t only the defence to


blame. The midfield, with the exception of Lampkin, was non-existent and the forwards were merely bystanders. However, Lee Slater had a great chance


with three minutes to go, but he man­ aged to fire straight at the keeper from six yards out— a miss which just about summed up the afternoon. • On Saturday the Reserves face one

Swan at Whalley rise to the occasion


Ye Olde Brown Cow 2 Swan at Whalley 5


T H E Whalley side played some of their best football of th e season to gain v i c to ry over th e Brown Cow


team. Free from the pressures of


being joint title favourites the Wha l ley side again seemed to be a free spirit and Ye Olde Brown Cow ■ might have wished to have stayed a t Ye Olde Home on Sunday — only very poor finishing gave the scoreline a respectable look. Once the game got under­


way i t soon became clear th a t i t was a case of how many Swan would win by rather than who would win. Steven Czapowski, excited


at Marek Citko’s imminent arrival, wasted several early efforts, as did the recalled Craig Barrett. I t was left to Craig Barnes


to show more forward-mind­ ed players how it was done with a header from Czapows- ki’s comer. Soon it was three


divots and the bright sun along with others. Taylor did head home a fifth after Cza­ powski had made it four fol­ lowing a Lee miscue. Brown Cow then scored


direct from a corner and from a free kick in the last five


minutes. The only other incident of


note was the mysterious sight of Dominic Chapman limping off the pitch follow­


ing a missed chance. Ad the remaining five games


with Barrett and Czapowski finally finding their way to

the game and midway through the first half scored an equaliser— with a goal which must be a favourite for


he biggest crowd of the season so far saw Whalley Under Us


goal-of-the-season. Terry Fothergiil controlled the ball


well, before crashing an unstoppable drive into the far top comer of the net from the comer of the penalty


area. At half-time the 1-1 score was a fair reflection, but Whalley were quick­ est off the mark at the start of the second half and Richard Benson scored by nonchalantly lobbing the keeper from an acute angle. The home side continued to press


forward, but remained tight in defence. Thomas Donald and man- of-the-match Jamie Enefer were magnificent as Whalley secured the


three points. Whalley Under 12s had possibly their best performance of thisseason


when they beat Turton Tigers 4-1. From James Nelson in goal to cen­ tre-forward, and man-of-thematch, Jamie Barnes up front every Whal­


ley player was a star. The visitors never gave Turton a


chance, until the last minute when they grabbed a consolation goal. In midfield Whalley dominated


throughout and up front Mark Lan­ gley, Simon Dickenson and Barnes ran the home defence ragged. After a powerful start, Whalley took the lead with a stunning shot from Mark Langley who ran from the half-way line before lobbing the keeper.The visitors continued to press and were rewarded when David Mercer scored direct from a comer.


Leading 2-0 at half-time, Whalley


started the second half as they fin­ ished the first, and they played some very attractive fast-flowing football Barnes scored the villagers’ third goal with a neat turn and shot from the edge of the box and Shaun Stell


converted another Mercer comer to make it 44). Whalley had chances to improve the score but some fine


goal-keeping kept the score down. Man-of-the-match Sam Taylor


scored for Whalley Under 8s in their 1-0 victory away to Earcioft Com­


munity Centre. The villagers dominated the first


half with some neat inter-passing and continued to play the better football throughout the match but could not add to their tally. And an excellent all-round team


performance from the Under 9s against, local rivals Langho secured


them a 1-0 win. They took the lead in the first half


with a solo effort from Sam Dean who ran from his own half, before beating the opposition's keeper. The villagers were solid at the back, with man-of-the-match Andrew Harg­


reaves outstanding Whalley Under 13s came from behind twice to beat third-placed


Barrowford Celtic 3-2. The game was a very sporting


' encounter and the first half looked lilcp ending goal less when, with 30


seconds left, Denton, from Barrow- ford, chipped the Whalley keeper. Whalley drew level 30 seconds after


the start of the second half, when Ben Parsons was quickest to react after James Wright’s shot was par­ ried by the Celtic keeper. Celtic restored their lead five minutes later, but again the villagers managed to bounce back with the best goal of the game by man-of-the-match Mark Ibmlinson who found the top comer from 25 yards. Whalley secured all three points


when four minutes later James Kenyon punished the Celtic defence


to slot home the winner. This was by far the best perfor­


mance by a fast improving Under 13s team who, on this form, are proving to be a capable tide and one that some of the better league teams are finding hard to beat. In a repeat of last year’s cup final


Whalley Under 14s entertained Barrowford Celtic in a very sporting encounter. Both teams pressed hard for an opening goal but both defences were outstanding. In the second half Whalley seemed


to up the tempo and were rightly awarded a penalty for deliberate hand ball on the goal line— which saw Celtic reduced to 10 men. Phil McGauley slotted home the spot kick to put the villagers in front and man-of-the-match Sam Stell sealed the points for Whalley with a goal from 35 yards out which gave the Celtic keeper no chance at all. Whalley Under 10s were complete­


ly outplayed in their 10-0 defeat by Turton Tigers.


The home tide deserved their com­


manding victory, but to their credit Whalley never gave up trying and the non-stop running of Daniel Stevenson and Richard Grafton in midfield, and the tireless trying of man-of-the-match Scott Stanworth up front, were three of the brightest performances for the villagers. Four goals from Marytn Thom- spon, and two from Andrew Subbs helped Readstone United Under 13s to an 8-4 win over Michelin. James Fletcher and Joseph Marshall also


scored. And the Under Us enjoyed a 3-0


win ocer Great Harwood Town to maintain their top three place in the league. Two of the goals were scored by Matthew James, while Thomas Harper scored the third. -f-> eadstone’s Under 18s who play X v in the Blackburn League had an excellent 4-0 victory over May- field.
