Chatburn fall short of big total

I HASING a challenging total of 219-4, Chatburn seconds fell 53 1 runs short despite an excellent


performance. Cowling elected to bat first on a good

CHANCELESS unbeaten 122 from 13-year-old Stewart


in First Division action, and after taking first use of the wicket, were all out for 167, with P. Spencer (61), David Gardner-Chan (34) and J. Dewhurst (32) among the runs. But Salesbury won by five wickets for


the seven points, despite Spencer taking 2- 29, A. Pearce 2-66 and Ian Britcliffe 1-63. The following day saw the second round of the Vaux Lawrenson Cup against Cher­


ry Tree.Again Wanderers batted first, and were all out for 153, with Gardner-Chan top­ scoring with 59, and B. Spencer making 21. However, Cherry Tree knocked off the winning runs with just six wickets down. Also in the First Division, Clitheroe sec­


onds had a mighty 97-run win over Edenfield. The locals reached 233-4, with J. Green finishing five short of his century, and C. Seed chipping in with an excellent unbeat-


en84. And M. Hargreaves took 5-39 as Eden­


field were bowled out for 136. Read seconds won by six wickets as Nick Marsh smashed an unbeaten 92 in


reply to Great Harwood's 182-9. And finally, in the Third Division,

Whalley seconds lost to Oswaldtwistle Immanuel by 107 runs, after being bowled


Wanderers broke through in the 10th over when Martin Briggs took a fine catch div­ ing forward at square-leg off Ainsworth. Professional Maron struck


season and with Hussain failing to turn up, Braith­


at a high score was the part­ nership of Maron and Fitz- maurice, who added 37 before the latter was bowled


by Monk.Disaster struck when Wanderers' professional


the ball well during his innings, but Wanderers chipped away at the other end.


Shahid Nawaz returned to the attack and promptly bowled his opposite number


out by David Howard for two, who then followed that by bowling Weaver for 11.


Knight was brilliantly run


waite opened with Nawaz. The pair had’put on 18


when the skipper played on off his pads and Briggs joined the professional. After last week’s innings


for an excellent 61. Wanderers now sensed the


against Clitheroe these two were in confident mood, the professional scoring almost at will, but Briggs seemed to find a fielder with every stroke until frustration got the better of him and he was bowled for nought. David Howard soon fol­ lowed after top-edging a


two bonus points were there for the taking and wrapped up the last four wickets to leave Northern 142 all out. Wanderers’ openers have been out of touch so far this


catch to mid-wicket and Wanderers still required 100 to win. Simon Duckworth helped


to steady the ship as he anchored for Nawaz, who


was now stroking the ball to


all parts of the ground. Duckworth was caught


behind off Weaver for 13 and Rain went lbw to Maron for one.At 92-5 Wanderers could have panicked. There were three younger players left to bat but Richard Clark showed no nerves at all bat­ ting with confidence which belied his age as he stayed with the professional to the


end.Clark must have learned plenty as Nawaz destroyed the Blackburn attack smashing 13 fours and three sixes in his unbeaten century and it was fitting that the winning runs and his hun­ dred arrived as he hit Maron for a huge six.


Read clinch second win


won their clash with Barnoldswick by two


R wickets and with two balls


to spare. Winning the toss Read


elected to field and the Barnoldswick openers Ian Scothem and Ifti Ahmed bat­ ted confidently against the Read opening attack of pro­ fessional Ibrahim and new­ comer Umar. With the score on 46 Umar


EAD fielded a greatly changed side but finally


stumped by Peter Walmsley for two, again off the bowling


Two runs later Brown was


of Heyworth. Without addition to the


score Michael Scothern was caught behind off Parsons for six with the score unchanged


Steven Woods joined Little


but at 145 Little was bowled by Beech for 79, a first-class knock on what had proved a difficult wicket. Captain Peter Usher joined


at 156-7. David Scothem and David


Usher was bowled by Michael Scothem for 31. The game was very much alive for both sides. A single to new batsman

Worsley and a single to Par­ sons brought the score to 180. Six runs were required with


em for six. Fox and Heyworth were


hands of Terry Little and John Doughty. Both batted sensibly, but


deliberate batting display from Ian Scothem and professional Paul Beech, who saw the score past the 100-mark and a huge final total loomed large. At 134, though, both bats­


both out without scoring in the same over, the former bowled by Beech and the lat­ ter lbw to the same bowler. So at 164-7, it was still any­


at 24 Doughty was caught behind off the bowling of Beech for nine. Michael Whalley joined


two overs left. Some would have gone for


the singles, while others would have looked for the big hit. There were those in the ground who felt the bowlers were on target to claim the two wickets required. David Parsons had his own


body’s game. Skipper Usher and former


men departed, Ian Scothern for 42 brilliantly caught by David Parsons off the first change bowler Malcolm Hey­ worth and then Beech was bowled by Parsons for 61. At 148 Harker was bowled

Whalley fall six run short


A ‘ GONISINGLY,


Whalley fell six .runs short of vic­


tory over Oswaldtwistle Immanuel a t Station Road on Saturday. In a nail-biting run chase,


Tim Hayes and Dave O'Neill couldn't quite rattle off the winning runs as the innings ended on 160-8, chasing Immanuel's 165-9. That meant a third suc­


maintained in touch with the leading pack in the Vaux Ribblesdale League after a 32-run win over Edenfield on Saturday. The Gincroft Lane side

mockery of that decision as seven batsmen all chipped in with over 20 runs as the locals compiled a mammoth 231-8. It didn't start too well as

Clitheroe and District mid­ T?


Clitheroe, but co-boss Denis Underwood is already hard at work trying to put things


T right.


The side finished sixth in the table after a blistering end to the


, .


season.But their early and mid-season form was poor, ruling them out of a championship race early in the year. “The one plus point from the whole season was our form towards


the end,” Denis said. “We changed the side around a


lot and never put out the same


team twice. “Despite that the players


responded and we had some goo wins against the top sides. That has got to give us optimism for next y^r. “We had a bad start and middle


to the season, but we finished really well.

positive at this stage.” Last season started with a great


deal of promise, but very soon began to go wrong with some


indifferent results. “I think we deceived ourselves a


bit early on in the season. “When we were playing with


five at the back we looked as if we were playing well, but we were not getting the results. “We also had some terrible luck


with injuries with players like Lee Rogerson and Sean Bursnell get­ ting badly injured. “I had been looking for a player

Big hitters have good day in district league


[HERE was some big hitting in the latest round of matches in the

lost by 17 runs. Rimington also set a very large score


in their match against Chipping A, with Chris Seed and Steve Whalley both reaching 50. This, despite the bowling of Chris
