Cruel blow as leading goalscorer sidelined
By Adrian Capstick
CLITHEROE could be without leading goal scor er Gary Jackson until after Christmas as early diagno sis suggests he has dam aged ligaments in his right
knee. Jackson has scored 13
goals this season and shown great form to earn a contract, but he twisted his knee twice in Tuesday night’s UniBond League Challenge Cup victory over Woodley Sports - the second time needing assis tance off the pitch - and looks likely to Ije out for at least a month. This is a “huge blow” to

side and netted having enjoyed recent spells at Barnoldswick Town and Ramsbottom United. The right-wing man left
manager Tommy Lawson but he is working on the worst case scenario: “I t is perhaps a little early to say for sure but according to Jim (Ruddick - Clitheroe’s osteopath) it’s looking like ligament dam age so we’re fearing the
the Blues before the season got underway to improve his match fitness. Tuesday night’s 4-2 win was his first game this term for the locals and Lawson was pleased to welcome him back, he said: “The door is never shut on anyone and if we can get players to play the way we want them to then there will always be a place for them in the side. “I ’ve been told that
worst. It could mean he’ll be out between three to six weeks which is a huge
blow.” This bad news came on
the same night that fellow fans’ favourite Chris Whit- tin'gham returned to the
we’ve got an extra 10% out of certain players this season and I hope that the same will apply to Whitty. I never got a chance to fully assess him the first time around so we’ll be learning about one anoth er over the coming weeks.” Both Jackson and Whit-
tingham helped Clitheroe to the North West Coun
soc
ties First Division title two season’s ago. A third player from th a t side, defender Russell Clarke, is going out on loan to Colne to give the North West Counties League side the benefit of his experience. And Lawson believes
the move can only benefit Clarke and Clitheroe in the long term: “Russell is too good for our reserve team and we want to keep him playing first team football. Colne showed an interest and it can only benefit him and us. “He is still a Clitheroe
player and should we need him he will be ready to slot
back in.” Clubs higher up in the
pyramid structure are also iDeginning to take note of performances made by Clitheroe players as 20- year-old centre-back George Melling has had seven days put on him by Conference North side Lancaster City. “George will be speak
ing to Lancaster on Thurs day (today). We’ve given permission as we’d never hold any player back and I’ll be checking up on the issue on Friday morning,”
said Lawson. “We’re hoping he does
n’t go but if he does we wish him well - the deci sion is George’s.” The Clitheroe manager
won’t be hanging on the phone for an answer though, as he has already put into action a contin gency plan if Melling decides to leave. “I can’t wait until the
weekend to see if I ’m going to be a centre-half short so I’ve acted to cover all eventualities by lining up an experienced 30-year- old defender with over 200 games in the UniBond league. I expect him to sign on Thursday (tonight).” Turning his attention to
Saturday’s league home game against in-form side Stocksbridge Park Steels, who narrowly lost on penalties to UniBond Pre mier Division side Ossett Town - the Blues’ oppo nents in the next round of the FA Trophy - he won’t be taking the game lightly in view of last Saturday’s 2-0 away defeat against Belper Town. Clitheroe are free of injury bar Jackson.
