PARRY SETS SIGHTS ON A FLYING START


^ By CHRIS BODEN to a flying sta rt at Mossley on C


Saturday. The Blues go into the clash at


Seel Park against last season's runners-up in confident mood fol­ lowing an impressive pre-season. Par ry has strengthened his


squad with the likes of Bamber Bridge's Lee Sculpher, goalkeep­ er Chris Richens from Accring­ ton, David Gray from Rochdale, and Paul Whalley and Neill Kennedy from Great Harwood, while all bar Clive Dunn and Jon Riley have signed on from last


season. Parry is itching to get started:


"We are looking pretty solid and organised, and we're looking for­


ward to it. "Mossley s ta r t as one of the best sides in the division, but we


LITHEROE boss Steve Parry is hoping his side can get their season off


know all about them and how have a bit more strength in depth


they play. "They are obviously a good


side, but it is a chance to measure ourselves against the better sides


early on. "It is a chance to get a conn-


dence-boosting result, and if we


do it will give us real self belief. "We have to get into a position


of strength early on in the season by stringing a few results togeth­ er, and hopefully we can start that


on Saturday." Clitheroe follow up the Mossley


clash with a home game against Ramsbottom on Tuesday night. Rammy finished a place above


the Blues last season in 11th, tak­ ing the title of top Lancashire side in the division as a result. Parry is keen to put that right:


"It would be nice to put one over on them after they finished above


us. "But we are a different side to


last season. "We look more organised and


in all areas. "Hopefully we can give the fans


something to cheer about early on.


"It will take time, but if we get off to a good start, I am sure the


fans will start to come on. "I am certain they will be behind us again, but it is down to


us to get good results. "I believe we should be looking


at getting crowds of 300-400 - that isn't beyond Clitheroe. "And if we get off to a good start, like we plan to, that might


be the case." The Blues have trained all week


after their final warm-up clash at home to Leigh RMI on Saturday, although some first team squad members were involved in Mon­ day night's friendly against Man­ chester League side Whitworth


Valley. Clitheroe drew 2-2 with Urn-


Bond Premier Division side Leigh with goals from Gary Rishton and


Carl Greenwood, and Parry was delighted: "It was a good perfor­ mance, and I said afterwards that th a t is our standard, which we


have to maintain. "They brought virtually the


us.


same squad which drew at Ful­ ham in the FA Cup last season, and it was very encouraging for


"We went 1-0 down direct from a corner, but went 2-1 ahead in


the second half. "Gary Rishton volleyed one in,


and he then hit another which was saved, and Carl Greenwood


followed up to score. "They got a penalty that never


was late on to equalise, although I think tha t was a diplomatic, face-saving decision." Goalkeeper Jon Parrott picked


up a knock with half an hour to play, leaving Sculpher to don the number one shirt for the remain­


der of the game. Parry said: "Lee enjoyed it - I


think a lot of outfield players are
