Chessmen’s heavy defeat


for visitors THE Clitheroe A chess team played the first fixture of the season a t a "new" venue - 'th e New Inn in Parson Lane. In fact, the club met there for several seasons,some 15 years ago.' ‘I t proved to be ajoyful


final


MOURNERS of all ages packed St Leonard's Church,: Downham, for Friday's funer­ al of 25-year-old Mr Mark


homecoming as visitors Nelsori B suffered a heavy defeat.. The.first game’to finish was on board two, where Eric Mansfield forced his opponent's resig­ nation in only 20 moves. This was followed by a com­ prehensive victory on board four for.Ray Sutcliffe. Things were going well

and sporting friends, local residents who shared his passion for bellring­ ing and scores of people who had just met him and warmed to him joined parishioners and members of his family to pay their final trib­ utes. Mr Hall received serious head


for Clitheroe on board five, even on board three and badiy on board one at that time. But the Nelson board one player failed to capi­ talise on his advantage and allowed John Smith to pen­ etrate his territory and force the decisive win to give the points to Clitheroe. On board three an oppor­


tunity for outright victory was overlooked and the game ended in a draw, with Brian Carr the only player not to win. On board five Brendan


and friends gather to pay moving tribute to Mark


injuries in a Clitheroe late-night incident in June. He died 11 weeks later at his home in Downham, having been released from hospital only a week previously. More than 200 people packed the


village church and the service was relayed into the churchyard to allow those unable to find a space inside to participate in the proceed­


ings. Friends from Rolls- Royce,


Barnoldswick, where he served his apprenticeship and then worked as a toolmaker, carried his coffin into


the church to John Lennon's "Imag-. ine," and, as his body was carried to its final resting place by members of the family, the song "Don't Look Back in Anger", by Oasis, flooded the church and grounds. The service was conducted by the


• ed loudspeakers outside the build­ ing to enable those who had been unable to find seats to take part. "I Vow to Thee My Country"


Rev. Canon Philip Dearden. Work­ mates from Rolls-Royce had erect-


and "Onward Christian Soldiers" were the hymns chosen and the les­


son was read by Mr Hall's sister, Rachel, with a prayer for Mr Hall, his friends and family, read by his godmother, Mrs Linda Barrett. As Mr Hall was laid to rest, his grand­ father, Mr Walter Robinson, tolled the bell. Donations in Mr Hall's memory


are being given to the two hospitals in which he was a patient, the Royal Preston Hospital and Black- bum Royal Infirmary. • A man has been charged with the manslaughter of Mr Hall.
