CLITHEROE enjoyed a 51-run v ic tory over R ibble Valley r iv a ls Whalley on Saturday to win through to the second round of th e


Ramsbottom Cup. Visiting skipper Neil


Fitton a t the crease but soon became Kearsley’s


; second victim, edging the ball to the keeper for


15.


Bolton won the toss a t Station Road and decid­ ed to bat first oh a good-i looking wicket. Opener Mark Bolton


failed to take advantage of perfect conditions, however, and was the first man to go, caught at mid-off trying to h it David “onion” O’Neill over the top. Clitheroe’s profession­


al Dexter Fitton strode confidently to the crease and proceeded to smash the, Whalley attack to all parts of the ground. His first seven scoring shots either hit or carried over the boundary rope. Andy Bums had found


his touch a t th e other end, completing his first half-century of the sea-


, son. These'two put on 118


before Bums was caught off Kearsley for a fine 67. Mark Bolton joined


Stephen Bishop was


. quickly ru n out by a direct hit for four, mak­ ing way for Steve Whal­ ley to join his pro for another valuable part-


' nership. They added 44 runs


before Fitton (96) was tragically run out with a century within his grasp. Mark Coulter and Neil Bibby helped the


to ta l along to a very respectable 232-6. Whalley got-off to a


great start in their reply, putting on 80 for the first wicket as'Davies and Pratt exposed Clitheroe’s weak seam attack. The introduction of


Fitton and the skipper’s off-spin put the brakes on Whalley’s innings and Fitton took the wickets of both openers, Davies for 38 and Pratt for 64. Home pro Neil Cord-


ingley was unable to repeat the match-win­ ning feats of the earlier meeting between the two sides and was bowled by


Matt Eglin for 18. Only Whelan, with a


hard-hitting knock of 25, provided further resis­ tance as Eglin and Bibby cleaned up the rest, to leave Whalley 181 all


out. • Clitheroe would like to


pay a special tribute to two stalwarts of the club who have retired. Mick Dewhurst has


finally hung his whites up after 15-years service. Affectionately known as th e "moaning mince- man”, Mick was instu- mental in the successes of the club during the 80s and 90s. A brisk opening


bowler, he was equally capable of destroying an attack with some quick- fire batting. The other player who


will no longer feature in the team is Neil Bibby. He plays his last game for the club against Set­ tle on Saturday and then takes up an offer from a large sport and leisure company to run a major sun bed centre, based in Hampshire. Although not known for his batting, Ins bowl­


ing ofted reaped divi­ dends in tight situations. i Both players will be


sorely missed.

seemed they would be subjected to a long, hard afternoon in the heat of the sun but the bowlers had other ideas. Ian Britcliffe claimed


the prize scalp of Ossy professional Rob Ashton for one in his first over and Immanuel never recovered. He struck again when


Maudsley edged through to Philip Hall for 16 in th e 10 th over. John


• Braithwaite joined Nawaz in the attack and together they tied the batsmen down until the young spinner bowled Dignan for 10 and the pro had Mohammed caught behind for nine. Nawaz finished his 10-


over spell with figures of 1-10 and if Immanuel thought a respite was coming, they were wrong


as David Howard turned the screw even more, his first three overs being maidens. He then ripped
