ON


L ITH E RO E manager Dave Burgess looks set to strengthen his squad fur­


Fogarty and ex-Rossendale United midfielder Danny Heys have held


talks with Burgess this week. Twenty-two-year-old winger


Fogarty, who impressed while play­ ing for Great Harwood Town last season, seems certain to sign for the


Blues. Heys (22), who originates from


Burnley, spent the second half of last season at St Helens Town and would probably welcome a move nearer to his home town. Burgess said: “They are both


good, young players with experi­ ence at Northwest Counties' level so they would be good additions to


the squad. I am hoping Richard Fogarty will sign this week.


i ’ Meanwhile, club captain Barrie


Hart has spurned overtures from UniBond League First Division outfit Chorley to stay at Shaw-


bridge. The marauding left-back was the , , ..


only player from last season’s suc­ cessful squad who had yet to com­ mit his future to Clitheroe but after extensive talks with Burgess has decided to sign for a third season. Burgess added: “I am delighted


Barrie has signed again. “Obviously being the club cap­


tain everybody was looking to him


to see what he was going to do. “He has been on contract for the


past two seasons but he’s come off that now.


“But it means that out of last season’s squad, only Neil Reynolds


. , ,


has left.” Hart and the rest of his team­


mates got their first work-out on


Saturday when they entertained a strong Blackburn Royers team in their first pre-season friendly. Graeme Souness sent a team


including the likes of Alan Kelly, Simon Grayson and Marlon Broomes to Shawbridge and despite a valiant effort by the Blues, they were beaten 3-0. Burgess added: “I t was a good


game and a great experience for our lads to play against these players. “I wouldn’t say we matched them but for long periods I thought


we did well. “When we gave the ball away it


took us a long time to win it back. “But I ’ve said before that all we


are focused on is being ready for the start of the NWC season on August


18th.” The Blues have received a slight . J . .
