m The following day, away to Blackburn Northern, Bolton won the toss and putYhe home side in, hoping his seamers would take


advantage of a rough track. Clitheroe restricted Northern early on, but


some middle order slogging, and a crucial late knock from Mahboob saw them close on 188- 9, 50 more than they should have been allowed to get. Simon Bishop, Glover and Fit- ton shared the early wickets, before Manuwa Chariwala hit a 27-ball 25. Professional Ata-ur Rehman chipped in with 27, but Clitheroe had the home side at


116-7 before Mahboob’s late heroics. He chanced his arm, throwing the bat at


everything in a 61-ball 53. That was the stake in Clitheroe's heart and proved a match-win-


Rehman ripped through Clitheroe s top order, later apologising for °Pea®


Bums' (7) dismissal, a dubious caught behind. That left Clitheroe at 23-5, but Simon

Coulter and Preston shared 65 for the sixth wicket, before Preston was trapped by the pro. Bibby helped Coulter with 18 before he was run out, and another strange run out set Clitheroe back further. Glover left a ball which went through to the


end, was run out.


Graham Kershaw immediately followed. Simon Bishop stepped up, got an inside edge onto his pad and was astonished to see the umpires' finger raised. As skipper Bolton said-

proved his doubters wrong as he put on 66 with Paul Dig­ nan for the sixth wicket. Dig­ nan then departed in Newby's second spell of the


day, lbw for 22. The tail-enders continued


to add more valuable runs, so that Read were denied bowl­ ing points, and set what turned out to be a difficult


target of 153-9. On a now good wicket,-


Read needed 154 to win, and got off to a splendid start as captain Nick Marsh scored three cracking offside bound­ aries. He did, however, suc­ cumb to a ball from profes­ sional Carr which bounced and he was caught behind by


N. Payne for 12. Fellow-opener Michael


Whalley scored freely, and when Gerard Metcalfe was introduced to the bowling, hit him for 14 in his first over. Unfortunately, number three batsman Garry O'Connor was out lbw to Carr with only five runs on the board.

HALLEY’S stirring revival continued at the weekend with a double success - over Padi-


ham and Oswaldtwistle Immanuel. The Station Road side skittled Padtham


enjoyed a 32-run win over Immanuel. Padiham’s veteran bowler Stephen Gee came out of retirement again and howled


captain Jason Smith for 34 and Hall then perished for 47 shortly afterwards. From 107-5, Padiham collapsed to 118


all out as David “Onion” O’Neill ripped through the visitors’ tail, grabbing a fur­ ther five wickets to add to the one he had


ures hf 6-47 off 18 overs while Smith col­


lected 4-47 off 13.2 overs. Against Immanuel, Jason Smith won the


toss and decided to bat.Jason Kearsley helped professional Graham Knowles put on 47 for the first wicket before he perished


courtesy of visiting pro Will Carr. Knowles cracked five boundaries on his


way to 46 but with the total on 82, he offered a simple catch to Sadique off Carr. The third-wicket partnership between


Lee Kearsley (46) and Kevin Reed (30 not out) added 61.


Metcalfe dismissed Lee Kearsley and . ,


then grabbed three wickets in the final over of the innings as Whalley posted 172-7. Immanuel’s reply was built around one


including seven fours. However, only Payne (20) made any


other notable score for the homesters as Whalley bowled a tight line and length. O’Neill collected 4-46 and Smith 2-39 as Immanuel closed on 140-8 — 32 runs short.

in one over, but this had the effect of tightening his bowl­ ing. From that 14-run over, he succeeded in bowling four consecutive maidens to give Read a mountain to climb. Peter Howarth was undone


by a Gerard Metcalfe "floater" and was clean- bowled for four. Metcalfe then had a hesitant Newby out lbw with the score on 117-8. Warren Eastham made the

Briggs (0) and David Gard­ ner-Chan (2) all fell cheaply to give Tree some hope. But this was, however, short-lived as Nawaz batted with grit and determination to finish 60 not out and guide Wander­ ers to a well-earned victory. He was backed up at the
