Birthday glory for athlete Sam
WHAT a way to celebrate you birthdayl Local athlete Sam Mur
ray - who turns 15 on Sat urday - has written herself in the triathlon history books. Alongside two team
mates, she has become part of the first ever Great Britain team to win gold in the Youth B section of the European Championships. Sam, who lives in
Clitheroe, scooped the prestigious honour in the Hungarian capital of Budapest last month. The Ribble Valley Mod

Seven-goal salvo sees WFC claim top spot
WFC Clitheroe........... 7 Rolls-Royce

WFC Clitheroe moved into top spot in the Craven and District First Division thanks to this fine victory over Barnoldswick side Rolls-Royce. The locals started the
brighter side, and after a sustained spell of pressure. Brown deflected Stell's comer into the net for the
opening goal. However, this lead was
short lived as a Rolls- Royce equalised from a free kick. WFC then took control
of the game, and goals from Gaskell, S. Hickling, Haslam and a cheeky chip from G. Hickling gave the homesters a 5-1 advantage at the break. The locals continued in
a similar fashion at the start of the second half, and Gaskell claimed his second and Clitheroe's sixth 10 minutes after the restart. Rolls then pulled a goal
back after some slack marking to make it 6-2. But Haslam was on
hand yet again to net another and complete the 7-2 rout.
Dog lose unbeaten tag h
DOG INN lost their imbeaten record as they went down 4-1 to early season pace setters Low Moor in the Harry Dewhurst Memorial League at the weekend. The Budweiser Boys dominated the first
half, but two breakaway goals saw them trail at the interval. The Whalley side stepped up the pres
sure after the break, and Jamie Enefer's first goal for the club - a superb header from Dave Dewhurst's pin-point cross - stirred hopes of a recovery. However, two late defensive lapses
made for a scoreline that did not reflect the closeness of the contest. Dog Inn manager Simon Kerins said:
“Anyone who wasn’t at this game will think that we have suffered a heavy defeat. “In truth, we had more than enough
possession and chances than we had in our opening two games. “The lack of defensive discipline at
the end of the game cost us dear, and we want to take our frustration out on Roe buck when we play them in Haslingden on Sunday.’’

an excellent performance of aggression, passing, discipline and team work throughout the entire

READ United got back to winning ways on Saturday with a hard fought 1-0 victory over Borrowdale at Barr den. The first half was evenly-matched but only the wood
work prevented the home side going ahead in the early stages. After the break though. Read managed to get the
upper hand, and a pin-point header from captain Mark Barnes was enough to secure all three points. Man of the match was goalkeeper Dale Markham. Meanwhile, Read United Reserves lost 3-1 to Enfield,

of the second half, but Read managed to pulled a goal back.

Four goals from the pro
lific Robert Lloyd and a hat-trick from substitute Cane saw a full-strength Waddington recover from 3-1 down to take the points. The locals took the lead
after 20 minutes. The ball was played
from the left into the feet of Tierney, who turned his defender and shot into the comer of the goal. However, the visitors
soon drew level after Waddington got caught on the edge of their box, and'the Hellifield striker pounced to make it 1-1. With Hellifield apply
ing some pressure, Waddington conceded a penalty on the half-hour mark, which was put away by the Hellifield for
ward. The home side then
went 3-1 down' after being caught on the break.
. But just before half time, Lloyd pulled one back for the Twitter Lane side to make it 3-2 at the break. However, there was a blow when an injury to
•goalkeeper Willacy saw right back Peter Dugdale step in. Starting well in the sec
ond half and adapting to the changes made at half time, Lloyd found his sec ond of the match to draw the game level. Waddington then made a substitution which saw
Cane introduced up front. He soon found his eye
for goal, as within 10 min utes he found the back of the net twice to put the game out of reach of Hel lifield. Lloyd made it 6-3 to get
his hat-trick, and also set Cane up for his third. M an -o f - th e -m a tch

pleased with the result.” Waddington’s next

Clitheroe through after penalty shoot-out drama
by Adrian Capstick
Wakefield-Emleg......... 0 Clitheroe.......................o
(AET, Clitheroe won 4-2 on penalties)
AFTER 120 minutes of staunch defending, 10-man Clitheroe took their FA Cup replay with Wake- field-Emley right to the wire to win 4-2 on penal ties.
Both teams were unable I SPOT KICK SUCCESS: John Paul Fagan
tofindthenetinopen play, and when Neil Reynolds
received a straight red card for what seemed an innocu
ous challenge, it looked as the though the Blues would rue those two late goals they conceded on Saturday. But all credit to the
Shawbridge side as they battled to the death, as they endured 90 minut^ of backs-to-the-wall defend ing with a man missing. The whole Clitheroe
squad made sure that their would be no slip ups like Saturday as they drfended as a unit with the back line of Adam Gardner, Lee Sculpher, Barrie Hart and Chris Nestor proving
impregnable all night, forc ing the home side to shoot from distance But that didn’t mean the
locals weren’t without their chances, as Glyn Barker ran tirelessly all night in his one-man striking roll. On several occasions he
got the better of the home defence only to be thwart ed in front of goal. And he was joined by
Steve McDonald, who had the best opportunity of the game when he made an excellent mazy run from the halfway line only to
narrowly shoot wide. Extra-time came and
went as the Blues contin ued to sit deep and pump hopeful balls up to Barker, as Wakefield gradually wore themselves out. However, it was Blues
shot stopper and penalty hero Kris Richens that once again displayed his match-winning credentials with two excellent saves from the spot. He had been rarely trou
bled all night, but when it really mattered he judged the first two Wakefield
penalties to perfection to deny Robbie Painter - a W Fourth Division Champion with Burnley-and Gareth O’Reilly. •And with Graham Price,
Stuart Todhunter, John Paul Fagan and Glyn Barker all converting their spot kicks with ease, the Blues were through to the FA Cup Second Qualif jdng Round, where they face an away trip to Castleford to play Northern Counties East Premier side Glasshoughton Welfare a week on Saturday.

1 ^ 1
SIX minutes in and Clitheroe looked as though they had this game tied up - only for FA Cup First Qualifying Round oppo nents Wakefield-Emley to haul themselves back in the contest and set up Tuesday’s replay. Two early strikes from Chris
Nestor and Gary Jackson had seen the Blues take Wakefield by surprise in a first half domi nated by Lee Sculpher's men. The first came on just four minutes when a Steve McDon
ald corner found Nestor in the middle, who made no mistake from close range. Then less than two minutes
later, Kris Richens took the route one method to goal scor ing to lay on Jackson for Clitheroe’s second. The Blues keeper’s huge goal
kick cleared the midfield before bouncing over the back four into the path of Jackson, who was superbly placed to lob the on-coming keeper from 30 yards.
Further attempts on goal
were seen from Glyn Barker, and McDonald was unlucky to hit the bar with a strike remi niscent of Jackson’s goal. At the other end Richens had
largely been untroubled until Steve Kenworthy forced the stopper to pull off a one-handed save just before the break. The second half saw the
Blues’ creativity take hold of the opening exchanges, twice seeing Barker blocked out in front of goal.

their unbeaten record with a 1-1 draw at St Joseph’s. Wolves took the lead
just before half-time with a fine strike by James Dick inson, but a lapse in con centration allowed St Joseph’s to equalise. Man of the match

back was on. Wibshire restored their
three-goal advantage after another great finish, but Tandy responded with his second. Then when a cross from

complacency in pushing for ward that saw them punished in the 62nd minute. The locals had obviously for
gotten that they were playing a UniBond Premier side as they let slip to allow Wakefield to quickly score on the break. The ball was knocked out to
Adam Miller on the right wing, and the visiting player raced untroubled to the penalty area before firing a cross in to Ken worthy, who scored with ease.
From here on the Blues
looked a little edgy every time Wakefield won possession, but that was no excuse for allowing the visitors open space to equalise with a late header. A free kick by Gareth O’Rei-
ley from the far reaches of the left wing found central defender Nicky Wood unmarked in the middle - leaving Clitheroe it all to do again, away at Belle Vue on Tuesday.
