N this top of the table battle. Read needed to narrow the gap between them and the two lead­


ers, Ribblesdale Wanderers and Padiham.


They achieved this by beating kid- blesdale convincingly whilst Padiham


,


were beaten by Baxenden. Other than a damp wicket at the start


of play, rain did not interrupt the match at all with Read having the best use of a dry­ ing wicket, they literally won at a canto. The Wanderers batsmen seemed to


have no confidence as only professional Shahid Nawaz looked assured when at


the crease. Once he was gone the middle order sur­


rendered tamely with only Barry Spencer hitting any sort of significant knock. They did, however, manage to frus­


trate the Read bowlers who could not prize apart the last two batters who


deprived them of the bonus points. The toss was a good one to win for


Read who immediately elected to field. After a steady start. Read got the break-

through when Peter Sleep had Richard Palmer caught by Nick Marsh for four. Graham Bardsley then disposed of Martin Briggs without scoring thanks to


a super catch from Sleep. At 32-2 Wanderers hopes rested firm-


ly on the shoulders of Nawaz. He and Martin Davies took the score on to 57 when a brilliant piece of stumping by Phil Swarbrick disposed of the profes­ sional f o r 47 out of a total of 57. From that point onwards Wanderers,


faced an uphill fight. Davis and David Gardner-Chan took the score on to 76


before Davis was caught by Bardsley off Sleep for 14 and four runs later new bats­ men Martin Peel was bowled by Sleep for

Eight-wicket Whalley win

HALLEY earned an impressive eight-wicket win at Oswaldtwistle on Saturday.

Ramsbottom Cup, were led home to their fourth league success of the season by professional Graham Knowles, after skipper Mark Fallon had led the wa^y. After Immanuel were held to 166-8 m 44

not out as Whalley won with just two wickete down. Ossy won the toss and chose to bat, and this l^ked a


Eood decision as professional Russ Whalley and David m tson put on 27 in seven overs, before the former Rishton


man was run out tor 22 off 24 balls. Watson was joined by brother Roger, and they had


doubled the score within another seven overs. They moved to 74 before Roger was caught by Darryl


R e d h e a d off Simon Gorton for 22. -h, i,i


Redhead also snapped up David (38) off Jason Smith 14 '^'^^fth trapped Phillipson (five) at 102, and one run later,


Gorton trapped Ian Whalley (one). Whalley looked set to chase a meagre to ta l^ ^yn'Nnill


bowlers in fine style. He lost Gerard Metcalf (33) at 139, caught by Andy u n . . a „,i„


Pratt off O’Neill, but he smashed four sixM to help push the score out to 166 before he was out (32) caught by Pratt


off Gorton off the final ball of the innings. Big-hitting skipper Fallon got the reply off to a superb


start as he and K eLley totted up 55 in 10 overs, removing « e


Whalley and Hornsby from the attack. But that changed little as the pair advanced


20th over when Fallon was caught by Whalley off Woods


for 62, which included eight fours and two sixes. Kearsley was happy to play the anchor role “s Knowto


carried on where Fallon left off, the pair adding 3o before Kearsley was run out for 27.


Knowles accelerated the run rate along with Redhead as the pair finished the job with six overs to spare.

Low-scoring locals lose out

ROUND-UP R


LEAGUE


i b b l e s d a l e Wanderers seconds


got themselves back on the winning track as they retained top spot in the Ribblesdale


League First Division. They turned in a confi­ dent performance on a


testing wicket at Church Meadow as they beat Read seconds by 65 runs. After being put into bat.


Wanderers grafted hard to reach a respectable 179-6. Alistair Marsh (63),


Martin Wrigley (28) and Gordon Leach (34 not out) were the main contribu


tors. Ribblesdale


then


excelled in the field, taking a number of memorable catches, as they bowled Read out for 114. Ian Britcliffe took 8-35


with Leach taking 2-28. Salesbury were


leapfrogged into second by Padiham after the Arbories side won by 87


runs. Padiham made 140-8,


and Gary Pethard took 5- 30 as Salesbury were all


out for 53. Clitheroe seconds beat


Cherry Tree by eight wick­ ets after the Blackburn


side made 127-9. In the Second Division,


Whalley seconds lost their first game of the season against Oswaldtwistle Immanuel, who now lie only two points behind the locals, who are a further two points behind new leaders Old Rossendalians. Whalley made 127-9, as


Moorby took 6-18, and Longworth’s 51 saw Ossy home with five wickets to


spare. Salesbury seconds beat


Rolls-Royce on faster run rate in their rain-affected


clash. Rolls made 15G-4 with J.


Whalley (68) and- M. Whalley (63) supplying the majority of the runs. And the locals knocked


off the reduced target, making 147-8 with Far­ rington hitting 79. Hodgkinson's 6-26 for


Rolls proved to be in vain. The Third Division


schedule was severely hit by the weather on Sunday. But most of the local


sides managed to play. Blackburn Northern


made 8-0 against Read thirds but no further play


was possible. However, Clitheroe


thirds beat Stacksteads by nine wickets, with Preston leading the Chatburn Road side home with an unbeaten 69 after Stack- steads were held to 101-5. And Salesbury thirds


were also successful. The Ribchester Road


side made 193-7 with K. Moss (53) and P. Moss (52) both finishing unbeat-


en. And Jump took 7-51 as


Padiham were all out for 109.
