CLITHEROE look to build on Tuesday night's draw at Work­ ington as they entertain Salford City at Shaw- bridge on Saturday. Denis Underwood and

two goals so far, while the goals have also come from Dave Bennett, Butcher, Chris Grimshaw and Dave Worthington. Clitheroe get Bank Holi­

Borough Park was a posi­ tive response to defeat at title favourites Newcastle Town on Saturday. There was no shame in


night at Holker Old Boys, who have lost three of then- four games so far - including


a 4-0 reverse at Salford on


Tuesday. So the prospects for a


defeat against Town - they have stated their intentions with 15 goals and four wins in four games - including a 5-0 thrashing of St Helens Town on Tuesday. Their Stoke-on-Trent


neighbours Kidsgrove Ath­ letic have also set the pace with maximum points from four games, and already they are the benchmark for sides with ambitions of pro- motion to the UniBond


League. Clitheroe strongly har­


bour hopes of playing at the higher standard, and the


Blues need to stay in touch


with the high-fliers. Traditionally a strong

Workington ....................................... 2 Clitheroe ............................................2


A LATE equaliser from Dave Bennett - his second goal of the game - rescued a point for the Blues at former Foot­ ball League side Workington on Tues­


day. It was a creditable draw for Clitheroe,


despite the fact that the Reds have yet to win in the North Western Trains League


this season. Workington, who last played in the


Football League in 1977, were relegated from the UniBond First Division last season and presented a stern test. The game lacked class, and both sides contributed to making it a scrappy


match.The Borough Park pitch was saturated with rain, and it was difficult to control


the ball on the slippy surface. Clitheroo took the lead on seven min­


•M


utes when the home keeper George Dixon committed himself, coming too far


out of his goal and Bennett cooly lobbed


the ball over his head and into the net. Workington equalised three minutes


later when Ian Milbum headed past Jon Parrott, with the Blues keeper stood


transfixed. The Blues went close from a corner


from the right, but Dixon pulled off a


fine save. However, it was a corner at the other

end that saw Clitheroe go in at half-time behind.


Milbum headed his second. The home side had a spell of pressure


after the break, and Gary Rishton had to clear off the line to prevent a third Work­


ington goal.


when he should have done better, but Clitheroe steadied themselves and got

capitalised on a goalmouth scramble to snatch a last-gasp equaliser and give


Clitheroe a welcome point.
