Planners are pleased after topping targets


ver


CONGRATULA­ TIONS are in order for local planners after topping planning tar­ get figures. Members of the Ribble


Valley Borough Council’s planning department have succeeded in achiev­ ing application targets for the period of July to Sep­ tember. Officers dealt with 75%


of major planning applica­ tions in 13 weeks during the three months, when the target was 66%. Throughout the same


period 66% of minor appli­ cations were tackled, beat­ ing the' ini tial ta rg e t of 50%. Finally, 73% of other


applications were deter­ mined in eight weeks, dur­ ing the months, the target being 73%. Chief planning officer,


Mr John Macholc said: “It is pleasing to see further improvement from the pre­ vious quarter (April-June) in meeting our targets, and I am fairly confident that the improved level of deter­ mination ra te can be retained.”


Cosmic spectacular set for skywatchers


FOLLOWING last week’s stunning display of northern lights, Ribble Valley skywatchers can indulge in another cosmic spectacular on Monday. A lunar eclipse will take place during the middle of the

“ I would love to deliver beer on a dray, but th a t wouldn’t be very practical on the M62 so this is the next best thing and cus­ tomers so far have all been really pleased to see her.” Our picture shows Mr

Derby day joy for nine-goal Borough


Sabden..........................................................3 Ribble Valley Borough.................................9 HOW do you begin to describe a 9-3 derby win? Sabden’s injury problems and the current


form of Anthony Clarkson’s ambitious Valley men, meant a mis-match more akin to the bouts arranged for a certain London-born heavy­ weight boxing prospect. A nervous debut from new signing Graeme


Seedall saw the Valley keeper pick the ball out of the net three times. Thankfully for the new signing from Canberra, the Badgers scored nine of their own. For the record, the nine goals were netted by


top scorer Paul Chippendale, whose brace included a rare header from one of a succession of crosses from man of the match candidate Wes Clarkson, a Dave Cook penalty, a stunning header from Craig Dewhurst, and an equally impressive long range strike from Mark Chad­ wick. Sabden also chipped in with an own goal, and


to complete the show, a twenty minute hat-trick came from veteran and late arrival Dave Whal­


ley. His first strike involved more shimmies than


an Elvis Presley convention, the second was a 30-yard piledriver and the silver-tinged hit-man’s third was a text book header at the death. Mentions should be made of Sabden centre


back Rick Wright who, while having a torrid time at his chosen end of the field, was responsi­ ble for two cracking free-kicks. One almost broke the up-right and the second


almost whipped off the back of the net. Gargrave........................................................2 Waddington..................................................3 WADDINGTON played under par in this Craven League First Division encounter, but came away with all three points. In the first five minutes Waddington could


have been 1-0 down, but Ian Walsh pulled off a good save before ' Adam Spencer cleared. Eventually it was the locals who went ahead


when Robert Lloyd got in behind Gargrave’s defence and chipped the advancing keeper. A second followed just before half-time when


the in-form Wayne Boothman followed in from a comer with a spectacular goal. However, Gargrave pulled a goal back within


10 minutes of the restart. This lifted the home side and their spectators,


but it didn’t last for long as Lloyd was upended in the box and the offender was sent off, the Waddington striker converting to make it 3-1. Gargrave again pulled one back and put the


pressure on Waddington, but the defence held out for the final 15 minutes. Waddington would like to thank Ribble Val­


ley Golf of Clitheroe Market for sponsoring the match. Their next game is away to Oxenhope Reserves on Saturday, kick-off 2 p.m. All play­ ers are to meet 12-30 p.m. at the Waddington Arms. Ring T. Pritt (07977 516334) or N. Dunn

from Mankowski. The home side had most of the first half and


forced the keeper into a couple of saves before


■ DOG Inn manager Simon Kerins is hoping that his side


will come back from Sunday’s break rcinvigoralcd for the final four games of the season after they slumped to a 7-1 defeat against Great Harwood Rovers. Kerins put down all seven


taking the lead in the 12th minute. A comer by Tom O’Neill was met with a pow­


erful header by Mankowski at the far post. Rimington played with real purpose and kept


possession well by using both full backs King and Keighley to great effect. Watkins’ shot beat the keeper but went ago­


nisingly wide, and it seemed only a matter of time before they would score again. Enfield, however, dragged themselves back


into the game with a disputed goal as O’Neill appeared to be fouled on the half-way line. But play continued as the full back sent a long


ball up to the centre forward, who appeared yards off-side, however, the linesman’s vision was obscured, and the striker lobbed Kershaw to equalise. The home side still seemed in a state of shock


at the commencement of the second half, and a static defence allowed an Enfield forward to have two strikes at Kershaw’s goal. The Rimington keeper brilliantly kept out the


first, but could do nothing to stop the second. Super-sub Liam Carter replaced Zulfi and


almost set up Watkins, but his pinpoint pass was met by a header that should have been better. With 10 minutes remaining, a Rimington cor­


ner led to a melee, and as the ball came out, Mankowski was on hand to equalise. Most teams would probably have gratefully


accepted a draw, but not Rimington. As they threw men forward, another cross


from the right was met by Watkins’ head, but he was unlucky again as it clipped the crossbar. In the 88th minute, another attack resulted in


Mankowski receiving the ball on the edge of the area, and he thundered home the winner, grab­ bing his first Rimington hat-trick in the process. Terry Braithwaite was delighted with his


team’s attitude, and they will need more of the same this week at home to leaders Stacksteads, kick-off 2 p.m. Bradley..........................................................1 Grindleton....................................................4 TOP of the table Grindleton returned to Craven and District Premier League action with an away win at Bradley. Although the locals took the game by a mar­


gin of three goals, they were far from convincing. Players were asked to play out of position,


which didn’t help, but belief and commitment to the cause saw Grindleton come out on top. Playing downhill in the first half, Grindleton


knew they had to go all out, and the scoring was opened by player manager Shaun Lloyd after 10 minutes. Continuing to pile on the pressure, Grindleton


threw men forward to see Darren Barrow dou­ ble the lead. Scrappy play continued for the rest of the half,


with Bradley unable to create much in the opposing half, as they tried to play their way out of the bottom end. Fortunately for Grindleton, Peter Dakin


increased the lead to 3-0 with a 20-yard curling shot. After the break Bradley hit back with a goal


on the hour. Digging in, Grindleton produced some backs to the wall defending, and a rare foray into Bradley’s half brought a goal for Mar­ tin Dobson. He received the ball on the edge of the area, beat two defenders and coolly slotted past the keeper to score his first of the season.


goals to fundamental errors after Paul Pountain had given the locals hope in the First half with a single strike. But Dog failed to build on


this and Kerins summed up the past few games: “It has been a difficult few days for everyone at

the club, and in the longer term, it goes without saying that it has been a very disappointing couple of months. “To top today off, Roebuck


have won and we have sunk to the bottom of the table for the first time this season”

CHEQUES were presented to two charities following a sell­ out night of fashion. Seasons of Clitheroe, joined


forces with Pure Health and Beauty, also of Clitheroe, pre­ senting the latest fashion and beauty accessories to more than 300 people at the Mytton Fold Hotel, Langho.


The event raised £1,600, for


the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and Holly House charity (for chil­ dren with special needs) in Blackburn. Guests at the occasion were


fascinated by the models' hair styles, courtesy of two Clitheroe Hair salons - Hair Company and George and Gra-


’ cie. The Hair Company Team created different styles to com­ plement each fashion display and were supported by students from Blackburn College who applied the models' make-up. The show involved weeks of


preparation and was organised by Mrs Jean Parker and Mrs Nicky Hutchinson of Seasons,
