Disappointing end to season for Whalley


WHALLEY Tennis Club had a disap­ pointing end to an excellent season. The campaign ended with the Second and


fourth place in the Second Division. The C team just missed out on the


Third Division Cup Final, with Whalley B travelling to face Burnley B, who were aim­ ing to add the cup to their Second Division championship. Whalley's first string of Richard Lam­


bert and Gordon Pimperton narrowly lost 6-4 in the third set to Burnley’s top pair, but gained revenge in their second match, winning in straight sets. John Leveran and Tom Ormerod found


championship in the Third Division, but by finishing runners-up, secured promo­ tion. The ladies’ team led their division for


most of the season, but a slight dip in form at the end meant that they had to be satis­ fied with third place, while the juniors fin­ ished a-creditable sixth and showed consid­ erable promise for the future. Perhaps the best performance was by


the opposition a little too hot to handle and were defeated in both their rubbers. But the club can celebrate a terrific sea­


son. The A team finished third in the First Division, their best placing for many


years. And the B team finished a very credible

Workman-like victory


Cllheroe RUFC..........25 Skiplon A ................ - . . . . .0 THIS comfortable work- man-like victory for the town team sets them up nicely for the impending set of league fixtures. Having the luxury of


fielding the same back- line for the second succes­ sive week, it was no real surprise when a textbook take at the top of a line- out gave the backs some quality balls early on. A superb line run by


young centre-threequar- ter Will Tattersall, sliced through the visitors defence for his second try in as many games. Fly-half Nathan Peel


was true with the conver­ sion and again a short time later with a penalty.


More pressure from the


home pack, hard rucking and close support play left the ball on a plate for scrum half Dave Watson. A retreating defence


really putting sides like this away with more con­ viction. The second half stats


was food and drink for the back line, and it was Peel himself this time making a bee line for the white­ wash. Unsuccessful with the


extras, he was on target with another penalty to put the Littlemoor men in a comfortable 18-0 lead at the interval. With the match as good


showed a lone try, cour­ tesy of back row man Ralph Rigby, Peel again on hand with the extras. But this really masks


the lack of composure at times with several gilt edged scoring opportuni­ ties going begging. At least to their credit

Chipping out on penalties

AN ENTHRALLING Guildhall Cup match went all the way to penalties, only for Chipping to nar­ rowly lose 4-3 in the spot- kick lottery.. However, after a difficult
