Table-ttop clash could decide snooker title


ROYAL British Legion. put their Clitheroe and District Snooker League title hopes on the line tonight. T h e y are due to have


home advantage in th e ir ' clash with second-placed Low Moor A. And with four games left


the outcome could either virtually decide the title or throw the race wide open. . In last v/eek’s matches


the Legion lost 10-4 against Rimington B. And Low Moor grabbed


their chance of closing the gap by beating Clitheroe Conservative Club A by the same score. • • ■ :

faded when they lost 8-6 at Downham and now trail second place by 10 points. In the Second D iv ision -


Chatburn A continued their march towards the title when they beat Low Moor B 12-2. But.Wh a l ley refuse to


take runners-up spot for granted and kept the gap at 14 points when they won by the same conv incing scoreline against Talbot A. Police are just one point behind the Whalley outfit


after losing 8-6 to Rimington. IlESULTS

Jay Howard scored twice in i the first half, along with one. from Daniel Meyler, before Blue Star pulled one back to make the half-time score 3-1 in Clitheroe’s favour. The second half saw Blue


Star attacking much more in search of goals, only to find Clitheroe’s defence in excellent form. Although the Wolves were


denied extending their lead thanks to some excellent goal­ keeping, and the woodwork saved Blue Star on more than one occasion, a fou rth and final strike was e ventually found. A cross from the right wing


by Rory Jones found Matthew W in ck ley 'u nm a rk ed , who fired home in the dying min­ utes to put the game to rest. : Special mention goes to


unsung heroes Ben Frankland, Chris Brewer, E l l io t A r t - ingstoll and Ben Earnshaw.

dominated the next 20 minutes but could not extend their lead. Goodshaw slowly got a


grip on the game and the equaliser duly ar rived when they were warded a free-kick 25 yards out. The resulting strike flew


into the top corner with even Kershaw unable to get nearit. Rimington continued to


match their opponents but chances were at a premium with both defences protect­ ing their keepers well. Kershaw made one note­

over the bar when Watkins and O’N e i l l were well placed. Coulter, playing as a lone


striker, was magnificent in what was probably his best game for Rimington, and his efforts deserved a goal. Just as the game


appeared to be ending in a draw, disaster struck as a hopeful cross to the back post was met by Paul Keighley, and on attempt­ ing to head the ball to safe­ ty, succeeded in sending it into the top corner past a bewildered Kershaw. 'Phis was cruel on Keigh­


ley as he had had a superb game, and R im in g ton deserved something out of it.


Braithwaite was delight­


ed with'.his players’ a t t i­ tude and commitment, and is confident it will lead to an improvement in form.


Wolves Under 10s...............2 Barrowford Celtic .............0 WOLVES got back to winning ways with a good sound per­ formance against Barrowford Celtic.


. Good passing led to man of' the match Zeno Leoni firing home to give his side the lead at the break, before Wolves piled on the pressure at the start of the second half. Celtic’s keeper made some


fine saves to keep his side in touch, but could do nothing to


stop James Banks making it 2- 0 and sealing the points. .


Wolves Under 17s . .. . : .3 Briertield Celtic . . . . . . . . .2 -WOLVES ended their league


.'games in the Red Rose Assur­ ance League with a fine win over Brierfield Colts. - : The home team scored with­


in five minutes with a deflec- . tion from a cross by winger M a r t in Greatorex which spurred .the lads on. • And then R ick Gra fton


secured the second goal to give Wolves the cushion at half­ time. Mid-way through the sec­


ond half saw a defensive mix up allow Celtic back into the game only for Wolves to fight back with man-of-the-match Jack Dearden latching onto another good cross. Celtic netted another but


Wolves held out to claim the points in another good team performance. Wolves Under 8s Blue.........0 Tarleton Corinthians . . . .1 C H A N C E S were kept to a minimum throughout this


. evenly-matched cup tie. As Wolves piled on the pres­


sure, Tarleton responded posi­ tiv e ly and by the end of the first half the score was even. The second period saw simi­


lar activity, until a mistimed tackle in the final stages hand­ ed the visitors a penalty which they duly converted.

Grindleton Reserves ................ d G R IN D LE TO N travelled in to the Yorkshire Dales and came out on top on a difficult pitch. . D e sp ite going behind in this


Craven League Second Division fix­ ture within five minutes, Grindle­ ton rose to the challenge and equalised shortly after when David Moore nipped in to score. The goal triggered the locals into action, and after 25 minutes, Ben-


' nett struck a a powerful shot into the bottom comer to give the visi­ tors the lead. I t wasn’ t long before the home


side returned to the fore, as the ref­ eree awarded a dubious penalty on the half hour to level matters. B u t Girn d leton net ted tw ice


before the break to snatch a healthy lead. Man-of-the-match David Moore floated a free kick for Bennett to


convert to put the locals in front again, and right on half-time, Faw­ cett put the visitors 4-2 up with a well-taken goal. T h e second half saw missed


chances at both ends, but no further goals as good defending, coupled with good stops from Booth, kept Grindleton’s noses in front to come out worthy winners.


Football Club are to hold their 10th annual sportsmans dinner on Fri­ day, April 2nd in the James Harg­ reaves Suite at Burnley FC. The event is the main fund-rais­


ing effort for the club, and the suc­ cess of the evening is very impor­ tant in ensuring that 200 boys and girls continue to enjoy their foot­ ball. Readstone p res ently have 16


teams - four o f .which are all-girl sides. And despite the fact that all the


helpers to the club give their time freely, the costs of strips, ground fees and training fees seem to esca­ late each year. Individual tickets are priced at


£25, while a reserved table for five is £150. The compere will once again be

Best display of season for


Waddington Waddington . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2


Sedbergh . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1 UNDERDOGS Waddington claimed a place in the next round o f the Craven Cup after producing the best win of their season.' , . Sedbergh were favourites to win


this game, and the Cumbrian side did not disappoint as they came out at full speed against the locals. .' ■ However, Waddington played some


quality football to force their way back into a game that saw two out­ standing keeping displays. This was demonstrated on 30 min­


utes when Robert Lloyd was brought down in the box, and the Sedbergh keeper stopped the resulting penalty. The football continued to be end to


end right up to half-time, when Sed­ bergh went 1-0 up in the 45th minute. After the break, Waddington came


back out and played with great belief in themselves to take the game to Sedbergh. T im e a f te r time W ad dington


attacked but couldn’t find the back of the net, until a bullet of a strike from Peter Fletcher got the equaliser. Waddington, now on a high, were


playing through midfield with Tim Fagan and Adrian Hirst controlling things for the locals. And when a free kick was awarded


to Waddington 30 yards out, Lloyd bent the ball over the three-man wall; and into the top left-hand corner. W ith 20 minutes le ft Sedbergh


threw caution to the wind and put W ad dington on th e ir heels with attack after attack. Ian Walsh made two good saves,


and with 10 minutes left substitute Steven Holdstead came on in mid field and made an instant impact to settle things down. M an age r T on y P r i t t was v e ry


pleased with Waddington’s perfor­ mance, and the locals now face a home fixture against Barnoldswick Town in the semi-final on March 20th. The villagers are back in league


action on Saturday with a game at Carlton, kick-off 2 p.m. , A win will see the locals pushing for


runners-up spot with jus t e ight games to go. Al l players to meet at the Waddington Arms at 12-45 p.m. prompt.


■


A NEW league for veteran foot­ ballers is looking for players and


teams. The league is appealing for sup­ port in order to have a realistic chance


of getting off the ground, and creating a competitive six-a-sidc competition in Clithcroe. The only requirement is that players


arc over 35 and available to play during the summer months. There will be a meeting on Sunday,


March 7th at 7-.30 p.m. in the New Inn for all interested players and possible teams. The onus of the meeting will be to


establish whether or not there is sub­ stantial support for such a league, and what shape the competition should take. For further information call Simon Clark (01200 412592).


Waggon book


place in final Waggon and Horses . . . . . . . . . 6


Lomax ......................2 WAGGON manager Tom Bartlett had the luxury of fielding a near full strength side for this league cup semi­ final and the class of the side shone through. And an impressive performance


means that the Clitheroe side are through to the league cup final to be played at Accrington Stanley's Inter­ link Express Stadium. The locals pulled'off a great start


and were one up within 10 minutes when M a t t Coulter provid ed a defence splitting pass that Heslop latched onto and coolly finished into the bottom corner. As Waggon started to apply the


pressure they were rewarded with a free kick on the edge of the area after Coulter was dumped on the floor by a Lomax defender. Up stepped player-manager


•Bartlett to curl in a free kick around the wall and to the keeper's left. Lomax came in to the game a little now and started to get a hold of the


ball but didn't really create too many chances as the hard work of Benfield and Curtis snuffed out any attacks Lomax mounted. And with 15 minutes to go Waggon


made it 3-0 albeit slightly against the run of play when Waterhouse broke from m id fie ld and finished with aplomb low to the keeper's right. Almost immediately Lomax came back with a goal of their own after a


■


well worked move caught the Waggon defence happing. But the action was far from over as the last 10 minutes of the f irst half proved v ery eventful with Heslop beating the keeper with another powerful run on ly to be denied by the post, then team captain Gamer weighed in with a neat goal to make it 4-1. V


. And on the stroke of half-time the


outstanding Heslop clashed heads with a defender and had to leave the field for treatment, i. The second half saw Waggon start


with a man down and Lomax had decided to apply a more physical and direct approach which appeared to work as the ball spent a great deal of time in the mr with the wind contribut­ ing to the scrappiness of thegame. : ■ Lomax eventually scored again


and it looked as though an interesting finish was on the cards as the Great' Harwood side muscled their way back into the game. ■


■ But with Heslop returning to the


fie ld with a bandage to his head,' Waggon composed themselves and the game was all but over when the impressive full back Ward put the ball into the net. . Lomax were reduced toTO men allowing Waggon to seal a fine perfor­ mance when Waterhouse grabbed his second and Waggon's sixth goal.' if: -;
