C _ 1 ^Martin and his Proton colleague, Chesters Paul Grif­


fiths, set the pace right from the start which^w them not only lead their class but challenge the whole Formula Two category against the more powerful 2-Iitrecars. The final two stages saw Martin come to the fore, blaz­ ing a trail through the 15 and 12 mile tests to win the class


and finish as second Formula Two car overall. Martin said: “That was absolutely great. I knew it was


going to be difficult to get second in Formula Two, but everything worked fantastically well and I was able to push really hard. Stagra like that make you realise why you


compete in this sport."


Rugby success Clitheroe 32, BolLon-by-Rowland IS


B


CLTCN-by-Bowland's rugby debut proved a great success, despite the scoreline, in this social


Clitheroe fielded a mixture of first, second and guest


players against a side captained by Chris Bossonnett. With a sprinkling of old-timers, some wilhng young


blood and a couple of Clitheroe players, the Bolton-by- Bowland side were more than worthy opposition and con­ tributed to an excellent match played in tremendo^ pint. Overnight rain left the Littlemoor pitch in perfect con­ dition, and with the sun beginning to shine, conditions


were right for a fast, open game. Clitheroe built up a 17-point lead through tries by Mal­


colm Heanan, Mick Rowley and Andrew Burrill pfore generous refereeing allowed Bolton-by-Bowland to claim a


Dushover try just before half-time. The second half saw more of the same, featuring some


great running by both sides, and Clitheroe made the most Heanan and Rowley both claimed their second tri^of


the game, but sandwiched between them was a 70-yard interception try by the visitors' young right-winger.


' The Maroon and Golds replied in fpe style ^ Holmes scampered 30 yards to re-establish the Ciitheroe


But Bolton-by-Bowland had the last Ipgh p^ the for­ wards, once again assisted by the man in the middle, rum­


bled their way to a third try. The annual President’s XV fixture, club dinner and pr<^


sentation takes place on Saturday, when ex-England and British Lions prop forward Jeff Probyn is the ^est speaker. The match kicks-off at 2-30 p.m. and the dinner starts


in the clubhouse at 7 p.m.

When it mattered they played just ^out their best game of the season against a heavily fancied Rollspoyce who h^e

Royce wanted to prise it from their grasp. Exchanges at the start of the game were fairly even with


both teams trying to settle on a rock-hard surface, baked over


the recent week of fine weather. It was the solid pitch which lead to the opener when a hope­

Garner thought he had put the result beyond doubt, scoring with great skill, but his effort was


ruled out for off-side. Halleron missed three good chances after that,


and Villa made for a frantic finish when they scored


another penalty. But the Blues held on to win, and manager Alan


Wilkinson said: "This is a fantastic achievement in only our second season after forming from


Clitheroe Wolves Under I6s. "Several of the lads have played for the reserves,


and it shouldn't be too long before it begins to bear fruit for the first team."

receive any money as part of the deal Had Carlo been sold by Crystal


Palace, Clitheroe would have picked up a handy percentage of the fee. But he moved to Edgeley Park at


the end of his two-year contract for nothing.


____ Carlo joined Palace in the summer


of 1996, immediately after keeping goal for Ciitheroe at Wembley in the FA Carlsberg Vase Final defeat to


Brigg Town. The Blues received a club record fee


of £35,000, which is believed to have risen appearance-related to £46,000


after Carlo played 25 games in his


first season. That season culminated in a First


Division Play-Off Final appearance as Palace reached the Premiership with a


1-0 win over Sheffield United. But it was the last time he would


play for the Eagles as Kevin Miller kept him on the substitutes’ bench as the South London side were swiftly


relegated. But Carlo could return to the top­


flight as understudy to England’s number two goalkeeper Nigel Martyn, Leeds goalkeeping coach Steve
