Battle for supremacy on the chess board


CLITHEROE Chess


Club's A team played its final listed fixture of the season against


Hawks B, of Burnley. Even though both sides


are mid-table with no dan­ ger of relegation and no prospect of promotion, there was no cavalier end- of-season play as a real bat­ tle for supremacy devel­


oped. On board one, John


Smith tr ied to force an attack, but his opponent's defence was up to the mark and the game was agreed


drawn. On board two a similar .


situation developed and neither player could force an advantage so team cap­ tain Eric Mansfield also


settled for a draw. Brian Carr on board


three was also unable to gain ascendancy over his


opponent and so a third game finished drawn. Boards four and five con­


tinued the battle — on the former, Stephen Robinson was involved in an exciting game in which all sorts of shasrp attacks seemed pos­ sible for both sides. In the the Hawks player


overlooked a threatened check, lost a piece and then the game in short order. On the other, Ray Sutcliffe's opponent tried to push too hard and lost a piece, giv­ ing the Clitheroe player a comfortable win and the match to the local side by three and a half boards to one and a half. This week the two sides


meet again in a re-arranged fixture a t Burnley, when the Hawks will no doubt be


looking for revenge. ERIC MANSFIELD

Market row rumbles on


THE controversy over third-day trading at Clitheroe’s open market refuses to die

"I regard a number of the objections .


there should be further discussions with the traders. Coun. John McGowan (Clitheroe) said tha t not everyone was


against a third day, but some questioned whether it should be Thursday. He quoted a letter from a trader saying


that Thursday was a waste of time. Traders are still saying they had no idea


they would be legally forced to open, and there is still a feeling that the order could


bechallenged. But Coun. Sowter asked colleagues to


remember th a t the council had £ lm .


invested in the market. "We are not just there to do the traders'


bidding," declared Coun. Sowter. "We are the landlords and we have to decide what is best for the community." He said that if there was not a full market, its attractive­ ness to people would start to drop away.
