chance to stretch the gap between themselves and a couple of their champi­ onship rivals when they travel to Blackpool Rovers on Saturday. Rovers had a crunch clash at

Exciting plans for Whalley Juniors


club’s sides — playing in two leagues — are enjoying some success with encouraging performances and signs of continual improvement. The Under 8s are doing extremely


expansion both on and off the pitch. At mid-season stage all seven of the

well playing in an Under 9 league. The improvement in their play has been dramatic since the start of the


season. The strength and determination of


Michael Olstowski, Ben Wright and Bobby Westwood, the speed of Alex Smith and the skill of Donald Whar­ ton are an example to the other play­ ers. The effort and never-say-die attitude of all the players have made manager John Smith a very proud man. The Under 9s started the season bril­ liantly, winning their first three games and remaining unbeaten for six. Of their 11 games so far they have


won six, drawn two and lost just three. They have scored 19 goals and conceded 12. There have been some great perfor­


mances by all the players, but all the boys have shown great determination. Darren Fothergill with nine goals


and Sam Dean with four are the teams highest scores so far, with Dar­ ren also collecting five man-of-the- match awards.


-


XCITING times for Whalley Juniors include plans for the upgrading of facilities and


Other star performers for the side are


Jon Brooks, Zach Foley, Andrew Hargreaves, Dominic Hampson and Sam Dean. An almost entirely new squad for the Under 10s saw many of the boys playing competitive football for the


first time. A squad of only 10 — they are still


on the lookout for more players — saw them plump for the seven-aside league where Richard Grafton tops the goalscoring table with Michael


Golly not far behind. James Wynne has bagged himself six


man-of-the-match awards, and there have also been outstanding perfor­ mances from Mathew Rishton, Thomas Hinchcliffe and Scott Stan- worth. The boys finished the first half of the


season on a high with two wins and one draw in their last three games


before Christmas. After finishing bottom last time


around and winning the Fair Play award the Under 11s surprised a few


sides early in the season. The opening 3-3 draw against Clay­


ton Park Rangers and the first league victory over Oggy Hotspur provided just a couple of the highlights. Individually there have been some


exciting performances, b u t the main difference has been the confi­ dent team approach which is a c redi t to the efforts of Terry Fothergill, the manager, and his


assistant Pete Poplett. The boys have learned to be gracious in defeat and victoiy and they take great pride in playing for Whalley Juniors. The Under 12s have had a mediocre season in terms of results, losing


seven of 14 league games, but perfor­ mances have been encouraging. James “Nelly” Nelson has been out­


standing, winning five man-of-the- match awards, and if the side can keep up recent form, their season could turn around.


A


some by double figures, and this sea­ son they have won four and drawn one. James Wright has smashed 17 goals, while Liam Hill-Parker has added eight, and the team are hopeful of progress in the Community Cup after reaching the quarter-finals. I t was business as usual for the


improved performances. This side lost every game last season,


Under 14s, who are out to defend their title. After a typically indifferent start,


they are now top and face the tie of the round in the cup against Black- bum Eagles in the near future. Obviously they aim to hold on to
