Clitheroe hit the goal trail pleted his hat-trick with 25 min­ By CHRIS BODEN


A F O R T N IG H T a g o , Clitheroe bos s Steve Par ry bemoaned his side's lack o f


goals. You only have to look at the match reports below to see the


Blues' response. It has been nothing short of


devastating. A total of 17 goals have been


plundered in three games - a remarkable tally by anyone's


standards. And in doing so, Clitheroe have


taken great strides towards Parry's aim of a top eight finish in the North Western Trains League


First Division. Building on the 2-1 win at


Nantwich, the Blues have thumped both Glossop and Ilolk-


er 5-1 in the league. Meanwhile mid-table Second


Division outfit Darwen lie in wait in the Floodlit Trophy Semi-Final after Atherton Collieries were brushed aside 7-2. Parry said before the glut of


goals: "We are not scoring enough goals and not creating enough


chances. "We need more people taking


chances going forward, and I'm trying to encourage the midfield - anyone of them - to get forward and supplement the attack." Clitheroe now go into Satur­


day's home league clash with fourth-placed Skelmersdale sky- high in confidence. It is one of those games that


Clitheroe must win if they are to keep on the right course to finish as far up the table as the manager


wants. And the Blues then travel to


the Anchor Ground on Tuesday


-for their semi-final first leg, with a final against Kidsgrovc Athlet­ ic the prize for the winners of the


tie. C l i lh e ro c ....................................‘ Alhcrlon Collieries .............2 A hat-trick from former Claret Brian Welch and a brace from the recalled Craig D ew h u is t helped the Blues cruise into a Floodlit Trophy semi-final dou-


Clilheroc Youth . 4 Euxlon Villa Youlh 3 C L ITH E RO E kept their Blackburn Phil­ anthropic Youth League title hopes alive with a hard- earned v ic to ry over highly-rated Euxton


Villa. Clitheroe started


brightly but Euxton got plenty of men behind the ball and kept them


at bay. The v is ito rs went


ahead on 20 minutes when Clitheeroe ’keeper Danny Woodhead mis­ judged the bounce and the ball went over his head and into the net. In the second half


Clitheroe maintained the pressure on Euxton and drew level on the hour when Glen Taylor struck a free kick into the top corner o f the net.


M a t t Garner shot


wide with just the keep­ er to beat but made


ble-header against Darwen. The tie was finally switched to


Shawbridge on Thursday after a series o f postponements, and Steve Parry's men made superb use of home advantage. It took just over half an hour to


break the deadlock, with Dewhurst seeing a cross-cum-shot fumbled over the line by the visit­


ing keeper. He added a second on 39 min­


utes with a long-range e f for t which flew into the top-corner. The Blues sealed their passage


into the last four six minutes after the break when Carl Greenwood cooly finished after picking up a


loose ball inside the area. Collieries pulled one back with­


in a minute, but Welch re-estab­ lished the three-goal cushion after an incisive one-two with Dave


Gardner. Dennis Hill smashed in the


fifth from a tight angle, before Welch completed his quick-fire


treble. Collieries hit a consolation sec­


ond in between Welch's second and third goals, but the Blues


eased home. The first leg will be at the


Anchor Ground on Tuesday, kick­


off 7-30 p.m. The return will be on Monday,


March 29th, at Shawbridge, with the same kick-off time.


amends five minutes later when he headed home Benfield’s cross to make it 2-1. Clithero e’s hopes


soared when man-of - the-match Nick Lord got round the back of the Euxton defence, latched on to a through ball and chipped the advancing keeper. Villa pulled another


goal back when Wood- head again misjudged a cross and allowed the Villa striker to tap in.

G O A L -C R A ZY Clitheroe made it threee wins on the bounce on Saturday as Dave Gardner bagged a second-half


hat-trick. The Blues continued in the


same vein from Thursday, when they hammered Atherton Col­ lieries 7-2, responding to Steve Parry's call for consistency, and a run of victories. Glossop started brightly, and


Darren Hamilton could have put the visitors ahead, racing onto a long ball, only to fire wide. The Blues defence didn't learn


from their mistakes, and Hamil­ ton again latched onto a ball over the top, and kept lus head to fin­


ish well. Brian Welch levelled three min­


utes later, swivelling to fire home. The sides went in level, but it was all Clitheroe after theresump-


tion. Gardner hit his first goals eight


minutes into the second half when he cut inside and slotted home with precision. l ie added a second 10 minutes


later after good work on the loft from Welch and Mark Stewart, and his hat-trick was completed two minutes later with a close range effort. Clive Dunn added to


SSjSliSilillll Clitheroe continued


to push forward and were rewarded when Garner hit his 38th goal of the season to give the homesters a two-goal cushion. Euxton refused to


give up the ghost and grabbed a third goal in the last minute. On Sunday Clitheroe


travel to meet Whinney Hill at Altham for another back-to-back


game.


Clitheroe's recent suspension problems when he saw red after retaliating to a bad challenge. The Glossop player also


walked, but Clitheroe finished on a high when substitute Wayne Ilowarth capitalised on more quality from the left flank to fin­ ish at the second attempt with


time almost up. C l i th e ro e ....................................5 Ilolker Old I io y s .....................1 CLITHE ROE can't seem to


stop scoring at the moment as they took their tally to 17 in three games at Shawbridge on


Monday night. Dennis Hill hit the third succes­


sive Blues hat-trick, while Neil Ollerton, recently signed from Chorlcy, weighed in with two on


his debut. Young striker Ollerton sent the


Blues on their way with a precise finish from Dave Gardner's cross


after 15 minutes. Hill added the second goal from


the spot after Gardner was fouled in the box midway through the


half. Ollerton scaled the points with


the third a minute before the


break. Hill added his second just


before the hour, again from the spot after Neil Rhodes was


brought down. And the talented winger com-


utes to go. Ilolker grabbed a late goal, but


the Blues are rampant and will be looking to carry on this form into


the weekend. RESULTS
