Clitheroe.......................50 President’s XV
The unexpected lead only -----23
THE season was seen off in resounding fashion on Satur-. day with a victory for Clitheroe in the traditional game against President’s XV at Littlemoor. Whilst the home side ran in
eight excellent tries, the invita tion team were not to be out done and notched three of their own, and indeed, took an early lead when Ali Wear crossed in the right hand cor ner, allowing Malcolm Heanan to add the extra two points.
served to kick s ta r t the Maroon and Golds, and centre Ben Murphy was in block- > busting form as he crossed for possibly the quickest hat-trick,, in Clitheroe history.’ ’ This, and two Nathan Peel
conversions, put Matt Dug- dale’s team into a 19-10 half time lead. As the second period opened
up, Clitheroe extended their lead when full back Andrew Burrill, playing in his final game before retirement, crossed under the posts following a break by
wingman Peter Whiteside. The end-to-end rugby con
tinued, and the President’s XV fought back with a second Heanan penalty and a ,con verted Simon Hall try. i From then on, Clitheroe
took control and scored at reg ular intervals as fitness levels and teamwork overcame enthusiasm and bravado. Further tries from the out
standing Ben Graves, wing- man Mark Murphy, Peel and Whiteside pushed the score towards the half century. The game was played in an
excellent spirit of camaraderie and contained two moments
i worthy of note. , The first involved a specta to r tackling fly-half Peel as he
: streaked down the touchline, and the second when hat-trick hero Murphy dropped the ball going for his fourth try of the game and then proceeded to demolish the fencing sur rounding the pitch, before coming to rest a t the foot of the perimeter dry stone wall. Both players suffered injuries to their pride onlyl The presentation of the
