Newton treble settles cup tie


Chalburn . . . .............3 Waddinglon . . . . . . . . 2 MEETING for the first time competively in over eight years, this local derby was always going to be a fine encounter in the Northern Plant Hire Cup. And the homesters just


edged it. Both sides proved strong


and impressive, and Waddington should have taken the lead with a fine move involving Lloyd, Fletcher and Fagan, but a silly free-kick against the run of play allowed Chat- burn’s Newton to make it 1-


0. The lead lasted just a


minute when Waddington’s Fagan was brought down in the box by Stell. Lloyd took the resulting


spot kick and Waddington were back on level terms. For the rest of the half


Chatburn defended well, but Lloyd managed to


break through to put the visitors 2-1 up with his sec­ ond. After strong words at half-time, the game turned on it’s head and Chatburn dominated play. Their defence held out


for 25 minutes until Hopcroft hesitated in clear­ ing the ball and Chatburn’s Newton pounced to grab the equaliser. Both teams continued to


have chances and both keepers produced impres­ sive displays in goal, but, with extra time looming, it was Newton who had the last say with an excellent strike from outside the box to steal the game and claim his hat-trick. Waddington would like


to thank Waddington Social Club for sponsoring the match; and their next game is away to Horton in the league on Saturday, meet Waddington Arms at 12-45 p.m.


Honours even in derby clash


Ribble Valley..............1 Riminglon.................. 1 HONOURS were even in the first mini derby of the the season as Ribble Valley and Rimington shared the spoils. Valley were in the ascen­


dent in the first half as they strove to build on a promis­ ing unbeaten start to the. season. And it was no surprise when on 20 minutes Liam Lishman gave them the lead with a sublime turn to finish beyond the reach of the grasping Kershaw. The impressive front run­


ning and work rate of Chip­ pendale and Stoddart threatened to take the game


' away from the hard work­ ing villagers, and when Lishman’s penalty pro­ duced a magnificent save


from Kershaw, it only delayed the inevitable. An injury to Valley's centre back Pete Berry meant some re-organisation, but chances continued to be fashioned as man of the match Kershaw proved hard to beat. Rimington's hard work


paid off in the last 10 min­ utes when Tom O'Neil unleashed an unstoppable drive into the the top comer of the net to leave the Val­ ley lads shocked. Valley boss Antony


Clarkson said after the game: "This is another game we should have won but for some wayward fin­ ishing and inspired goal keeping. However, we can take heart from the way we played and the chances we created."


Dog crash out to three quick goals


DOG Inn surrendered a 2- 1 half-time lead to go down 6-3 against high-flying Griffins Head at Wilson's. Graham Swimby’s deft


chip gave the Whalley side a first-minute lead, only for a refereeing blunder to allow the Huncoat side an equaliser after 12 minutes. The Budweiser Boys


refused to let this setback affect them, and a fabulous solo goal from Paul Foun­ tain ensured that they ended the first half in the lead. Two goals early in the second half saw Griffins Head edge in front, only for Swimby to net his second from close range. At that point the Whal­


ley side looked stronger, but three goals in 10 min­ utes gave Griffins Head the win and the scoreline a flat­ tering look. Dog manager Simon


Kerins said after the game: “It would have been nice to progress to the quarter­ finals and we are all very disappointed. "However, there is no


point in feeling sorry for ourselves and we need to bounce back by winning our next two games. If we can do that, we will be on the fringe of the promotion battle at the half-way stage in the season.” Dog face Clayton-le- Moors on Sunday.


Clitheroe win yet again in great start


Clitheroe.................. 10 Carnforlh................... 7 TWO wins out of two makes this the best start to a Clitheroe RUFC league campaign in recent years. Victory was ensured


when Dave Watson crossed for an excellent try mid way through the second half. Watson, playing despite


a badly gashed ear sus­ tained in the heroic display at North Manchester, was outstanding at scrum half throughout the 80 minutes and fully deserved to be the one who touched down for the match winning score. With Ben Graves return­


ing to the second row to partner skipper Matt Dug- dale, the pack looked in better shape. Fly-half Nathan Peel


opened the scoring with an early penalty, but by half


time Carnforth had notched a converted try of their own to lead by a slen­ der four points. Clitheroe had spent long periods of the first half defending as


the visitors dominated pos­ session, and the second period proved to be no dif­ ferent. However, things changed


the prospective Carnforth tackier to the supporting Peter Smith, who in turn released fullback Brian Wood who drew in the last of the covering defence before passing inside for man of the match Watson to cross under the posts.


Wensley shines in floodlit bowls final


SABDEN Bowling Club completed their inaugural Floodlit Singles Competition on Sunday, with Malcolm Wensley emerging victorious. He defeated fellow Sabden bowler Kevin Lingard 21-7


in the final. The event saw the quarter-finals played out, before the semi-finals and final was decided, amongst some of the best bowlers in the district. The first semi-final saw two left-handed Sabden play­


ers paired together, with Lingard coming from behind to defeat Trevor Wildman 21-15. In the other semi-final Wensley took some time before showing John Chatwin the way with a 21-11 scoreline. In the final, with a crowd of some 50 or more spectators, Wensley caught Lingard on a succession of-round pegs down the edge to run out the winner. .The trophy was donated by Alan and Anita Whalley, and was presented by club President Bill Camp­ bell.

Chester died doing the job he loved


A FAMILIAR figure at Clitheroe and Gisburn auc­ tion marts died while doing the job he loved. Mr George Chester


Kneller (pictured), known as Chester to his friends, was loading up the prize lambs he had just bought at Hawes Auction Mart when he collapsed. More than 400 packed


into a Foulridge church on Wednesday last week to


say their goodbyes to a popular farmer, of Accorn- lea Farm in the village. Many were farmers who


Mr Kneller met at local auction marts during his life-long farming career. Born in the front room


of Accornlea Hall Farm in 1933, Mr Kneller could not wait to start work in the family business. He was married to Jean in 1957 after meeting her


at a Young Farmers’ dance. They had three daugh­


ters, Julie, Susan and Christine, who lives in Clitheroe. ,


Susan died in April at


the age of 41. They also have three


grandchildren, Amanda, Rebecca and Joshua, who Mr Kneller doted on. He was a familiar face at all the local auction marts,


j >


as during his life on the farm he has stocked pigs, dairy cows and limousin cattle. • However, later in life Mr


Kneller, suffered heart problem's and he had to have a bypass operation. This forced him to


reduce his duties around the farm and instead of stocking cattle, Mr Kneller turned his attention to buying prize lambs each


year and then selling on the sheep.The keen mem­ ber of Burnley Football Club and judge at Traw- den Agricultural Show also spent time travelling on organised tours to farms all over the world, includ­ ing New Zealand, Canada and South Africa. • Donations should be


made to the British Heart Foundation or to the Pendleside Hospice.


I t was the job of the


children in Class Four to tell the parents about Food Aid ’03, the charity chosen to benefit from all the children’s fund-rais­ ing efforts. Supported by TV chef


Ainsley Harriot, the charity will work with the United Nations World Food Day Project, on October 16th, to sup­ port food projects throughout the develop­ ing world. After the assembly,


harvest baskets provided by parents were sold to raise £330 for Food Aid ’03. _ Our picture shows the

Grandma scoops brand new car from Gisburn Auction Mart This week’s latest prices


A BURNLEY grandmoth­ er of three and former Sec­ retary of the Year has walked off with a brand- new Fiat car in a competi­ tion run by Horners motor dealers and the Burnley Express.


' ‘ Mrs Sheila Jolly (56) of


Briercliffe Road said when she heard the click of the car door opening after she had taken the key from a balloon during the finals, she froze. “There was a great rush


of adrenalin, the door of the car opened, and I burst into tears,” she said. Earlier she had been ■


short-listed as a prize-win­ ner in a group of 50. The 50 semi-finalists met at Horners motor dealers in


Accrington Road and each had to guess how many balloons had been placed in the prize car. Sheila’s guess - a change


of mind at the last minute from the number she had envisaged earlier - got her into a line-up of five final­ ists, including one from ' Clitheroe. Each of the finalists had


a balloon with a key in it, and Sheila was last of the five to try the door with her key. “I heard a click, and lit-

upholsterer, takes the fam­ ily car - another Fiat - to work each day so that Sheila has been on foot if


she wants to go anywhere - until now. “I have been pushing prams about. This is the answer to my prob­ lems,” she said. Burnley-born Sheila has


a passion other than her grandchildren which she says the car will come in very handy for. She is a big fan of Cliff
