/ ' v ;, . g t* ' , , , day joy in vital clash Bv CRAIG SALMON I :


CLITHEROE manager Lee,Sculpher was disappointed with aspects of his side’s play against Abbey Hey on Sat­ urday despite the 1-0 win.


‘ The Blues had to rely on a 38th minute penalty from Mark Stewart and a couple of outstanding saves from goalkeeper Kris Richens to earn three more vital North West Counties’ League First Divis ion


points. Young striker Gary Jackson’s pace and


strength proved to be a thorn in the side of Bryn is British champ! BRYN Phillip is a British Champion -r at


the grand old age of 101 ■ The youngster was crowned the Under


12s British Modern Biathlon Champion at the Concord Leisure Centre and Pondsforge Pool in Sheffield. The Edisford Primary School pupil,

• Abbey Hey throughout the match. However, • he suffered from one of those days when noth­ ing went right for him in front of goal. . Sculpher said: “The game might have been


entertaining from a neutral point of view in the sense that it was end-tor-end stuff. But I felt,we contributed to our own downfall at


times. “I thought we could have been stronger in ■ - . - ' ■


midfield and defence and that contributed to. the pressure that Abbey Key put on u s . . “I felt we lost a bit of discipline in the fact that we were far too intent on going forward


and got the wrong side of , the ball which enabled Abbey Hey to put pressure on iis.”. The Blues boss, however, praised his keeper


Richens, who was in imperious form. “Kris has made two great saves, particularly one towards the end of the match but we had


chances to make it 2-0. “But it seemed to be one of those days for us, epitomised by Gary Jackson’s miss in the


fust half. ' “In fairness to Gary he played very well. He came out for the second half and in the first 15 minutes, the keeper’s made a wonderful save from one of his shots and he’s also hit the bar.”, Unfortunately for Clitheroe, all of their


rivals at the top of the table recorded wins, meaning Saturday’s clash away ;at fourth- placed Skelmersdale United takes on even


greater significance. “Unfortunately all the teams at the top con­


away reserves top for


tinue to win which, obviously, isn’t good for us. “I am sure Prescot and Salford will slip,up at some point'and we just have to concentrate


■ on getting the points on the board.” The Blues have already beaten Skelmersdale


, “We played Skelmersdale about a month ago in a very entertaming game. It was proba­ bly the best we have played this season and hopefully we can repeat that this Saturday. “We have the best away record in the league.


this season in an entertaining 3-2 win at Shaw- bridge.


Sometimes it is easier to play away from home with the fact that we do break very quickly. "Where as at home you find that teams sit


against us, like Abbey Hey did on Saturday. Sculpher is hoping to add three players to


the squad which was on duty against Abbey Hey with Chris Whittingham set to return from suspension, while Barrie Hart is available and Adam Gardner will hopefully have recov­


ered from injury. reserves.

it although they were left nervously hanging- on towards the end. Clitheroe nearly took the lead in bizarre


fashion after five minutes. Jason Jones’ right- wing cross beat everybody, including the keeper, but the ball struck the inside of the, post and across the line before bouncing away


to safety. Lee Cryer had an header hacked-off the


line on'10 minutes while seven minutes later James Stanton’s deflected free-kick was bril-


■ liantly tipped away by Kris Richens. The Blues should have taken the lead on 25


minutes but Gary Jackson unbelievably fired over from just six-yards out after Cryer’s shot had only been parried. However, they finally took the lead on 36


‘ minutes when they were handed an early ■ Christmas present by Mark Egerton, who


handled the ball inside the area. Stewart stepped-up and stroked the ball beyond the reach of Liam Higginbottom. After the break, Jackson was denied by a


■ terrific save from Higginbottom and the same player then blasted the ball against the top of the crossbar from the edge of the area


after 52 minutes. Richens denied Dale Johnson and from the


resulting corner, the same player headed over the bar from point-blank range. Gary Rishton, Jackson and Cryer all went


close but the Blues were indebted to Richens late in the game for pulling-off an outstand­ ing save to deny Phil Ainscough.
