and keep the run together - we don’t want to lose the rhythm.” Clitheroe have now win their last


five games, making progress in the Floodlit Cup, the League Cup and beating North Western Trains League leaders Kidsgrove along the


way.“To be honest I ’m not really looking at the league. All I want is to make sure we keep the run


going,” Parry said. “As long as we don’t get beaten


we can make progress in the cups

Clitheroe............. ...........3 Kidsgrove Ath le tic......1 THE Blues’ renaissance continued in style on Sat­ urday when they over­ came table-topping Kids­ grove at Shawbridge with their best display of the


season so far. The 3-1 scoreline doesn’t


do justice to just how close


the game was. Even though Clitheroe


took a three-goal lead and Kidsgrove’s late effort was little more than a consola­ tion, the visitors were never really out of the game. In fact the game was bal­ anced on a knife-edge for


almost an hour. I t was only Kidsgrove’s

bottom in the Second Division of the North Western Trains League you would have expected a more comfort­


able win.But Clitheroe made several changes to the side which beat Clitheroe, some


enforced and some not. That they managed to overcome that and win the game was enough for


the Clitheroe faithful. There were just 13 minutes on the


clock when the first goal came. John Holding picked up where he

up and fired the spot-kick low to keep­ er Wayne Shepherd’s right and into
