One man s campaign for youngsters


ROLLER hockey in ClitHeroe has been given a new lease of life - thanks to an enterprising local manager. Mr Ronnie Eatough, of Clitheroe Pan­


thers, has almost single-handedly turned a disused tennis court at the Castle Cement complex into a modern rink fit for league matches with clubs from around the North-


West.Mr Eatough, who works as a team leader at the cement company and is also a part- time sub- officer at Clitheroe Fire Station, has devoted all his spare time since Novem­


ber to the project. "I persuaded my employers to let us have


the court," said Mr Eatough. "It was over­ grown, flooded, and looked more like a bomb site than anything else." Castle Cement also provided the materi­


als, while Mr Eatough devoted more than 1,000 hours to the project. Occasionally he received help, but more often than not he worked alone and, whenever there was a fire emergency, he would have to down tools to join his fire service colleagues. "It’s been hard work but well worth the


effort," he said. The rink has boarding and netting, is marked out to a standard roller hockey rink and there is also a spectators'


stand." The rink, named Moat Arena, had its


baptism only hours after Mr Eatough had put the finishing touches to it. Clitheroe Panthers, who have previously


had to travel to Haslingden for matches, hosted a tournament for North-West clubs. Edenfield Warriors won the contest, with


Rawtentall Riot claiming second place, and the Clitheroe team taking joint third place with Norden Rams. Other roller hockey teams from the Clitheroe area also use the rink.
