PENDLE County Primary School have once again been crowned Ribble Valley Primary Schools Kwik Cricket champions. At this year’s finals at Clitheroe Cricket


Club, 14 teams took part, playing on an eight- a-side, sixteen-over basis, divided across three leagues. Brookside CP, St James C of E and Simon-


stone C of E won their respective leagues, while Pendle were the best runners-up from the three divisions. These four teams then contested the semi­


finals, where Simonstone beat Brookside and Pendle defeated St James to reach the final, which saw the Clitheroe school ultimately come out on top. All the games were closely contested, and


the overall quality of the cricket played in the finals was the best for many years, which augers well for the future and the standard of junior cricket in the area.

RIBBLESDALE Wanderers’ poor season continued with defeat at home to Padiham on Saturday. After electing to field, the vis­

for a duck as both De Bruin and Howard were disciplined in their bowling as they defended a low score. Sharif had made 21 before he


became De Bruin’s second vic­ tim with the score on 40-3 in the 13th over, and Umar Saddique looked composed as he took his time at the crease, but skipper Anthony Hall went for a duck, and Naveed Ashraf was dis­ missed for three, leaving the vis­ itors struggling on 69- 5. But with Saddique at the


crease they always had a chance of victory. Wicket keeper Andrew


gs had a rebuilding job to do and had to be very watchful, but the pair were relentless on anything loose. Briggs batted well, but he was run out for 15 after a mbc up with Peel, leaving the hosts reel­ ing on 84-5, and Peel soon fol­ lowed for a well-made 28. It was then left to professional


Gerard De Bruin to bat with the tail and add what he could. And after some sweet blows to

lowed tor a duck as De Bruin claimed his third victim, but he was well backed up by Howard, who conceded just 14 runs from his first seven overs. Professional Thakker played


well and put away any loose bowling, without ever looking too adventurous. Howard then had Munwar


Chariwala caught behind as the score reached 64 from 20 overs. Captain Mel Gillibrand was


content to support his paid man and prod the odd single, but when Howard removed the pro­ fessional just after he had reached his half century in a partnership of 48 runs with the skipper, things looked good for Rihblesdale. Gillibrand soon followed as


Hunt quickly claimed three wickets to leave the home side eight down, putting Ribblesdale in prime position to collect two bonus points. Unfortunately they couldn’t


manage it as the final pair added 25 from four overs. Howard bowled all the way through, collecting two wickets, and De Bruin took four as

Gladwin and Howard looked


in good touch and pushed the score above 50. Gladwin, in par­ ticular, looked in good touch as he reached the boundary on six occasions, while Howard stroked some lovely boundaries before falling for 20 to Thakker. Gladwin soon followed for 38


after a smart return catch low down from Chariwala. Ribblesdale were now on the


back foot at 73-4. Briggs was next out with the score on 76 as he fell leg before from a ball that crept along the floor. McGuire went for a duck as


he was bowled by the pro, and De Bruin then followed for a run-a-ball 19 as Ribblesdale edged to 95-7. John Braithwaite (19 not out)

FOUR wickets from Dave O’Neill, teamed with 44 runs from profes­ sional Phil Thornton, saw Whalley cruise to an eight-wicket victory over Edenfield on Sunday. Saturday’s game against Black­


burn Northern may have seen the locals lose their first game of the weekend on run rate, but four boundaries and a she from Thornton in an undefeated knock eased Whal­ ley past Edenfield’s 97 all out the


following day. Whalley won the toss and put


Edenfield in to bat first. Runs came easily for the Gincroft


Lane side at first, but the change bowlers of O’Neill and Simon Gor­ ton stopped the visitors in their


tracks. Adam Barnes was Edenfield’s


highest score with 32, but once he had been run out and professional Babar Naeem was caught by Nick Fielden off O’Neill for 15, the rest of the order followed suit for very lit­


tle. Opener Mark Burns (16) was the


only other player to reach double figures, and he was caught by Thornton for Lee Burgess’ single wicket. In reply, Whalley reached their target of 97 with relative ease for


the loss of only two wickets. John Rain opened alongside cap­


tain Martin Davies, and the pair put on 25 before the latter was trapped leg before by Liam Bones. Rain, however, upped the run


rate alongside Thornton, and the pair took the score to 82, but the opener left for 29 to a catch by Ghris Hanson off William Slinger. Thornton had no problems


though, as he eased to 44 alongside Lee Kearsley (8 not out) to win the game. Unfortunately, the previous day


against Blackburn Northern had seen the locals lose on run rate. Whalley lost the toss and were


put in to bat first, where they scored 171-8 thanks to decent 53 from opener John Rain, accompa­ nied by 26 runs from Martin Davies and 17 runs from professional Phil Thornton. Davies (26) was the first man to


exit the field having been caught by Roy Townsend off the bowling of Neil Weaver. Rain was also caught behind by


wicket keeper Townsend, this time off Munwar Chariwala, having seen six fours and a six for his efforts. And at 116-3, Alex Whelan (4) followed, caught by Chariwala off


Mohammed Jamil. Thornton, though, remained at


the crease for a further 13 runs before he too made his way back to the pavilion having been run out. Unfortunately, from then on, the


mid to late order did not return much to compliment Whalley’s fine


start. Simon Gorton’s 12 not out was


about the best they had to offer, with the rest of the order, apart from Lee Burgess (one not out),


‘ leaving the field for single figures. In reply, Blackburn Northern

away both days, and were at league challengers Settle on Sunday, it was perhaps to be expected. Saturday’s encounter at


Back Lane saw the locals come out on top, as half cen- turys from substitute pro­ fessional Mahendra Nag- amootoo and William Dri­ ver saw Read to a 44-run victory over Baxenden. The Golne professional


who has proved a real hit with the Lancashire League club this season, was unde­ feated in his knock of 55, and then went on to scoop 7-48 to ensure victory. And Driver reached 52


This, coupled with a middle order


27 from Ismail Daud, plus 15 from Neil Fitzmaurice, saw the side well on the way to 171. And despite a stoppage early on


tor the weather, and the fact that Whalley took an extra wicket with nine dismissals, Blackburn North­ ern reached Whalley’s score in an over less than the locals. Most notably, Whalley’s Gorton


took 5-37, while both Ben Dowling and Thornton had two apiece. This Saturday, Whalley are away at Earby, wickets pitched 2 p.m.


All-rounder James inspires win


RIBBLESDALE Wan­ derers’ Junior outfits saw victory and defeat in equal measures this week. The Under 11s won


two of their games, against Baxenden, who they beat by 14 runs, and Read, who they sur­ passed by 25 runs. In the Baxenden game.


Ryan Monk returned 3- 10, before Paul McGrath (22) and Mark Neren- berg (22) made an impression with the bat. And the Read

in the wickets with 3-8, while Nerenberg scored over half of Ribblesdale’s runs with a decent 24. And to even out the highs and lows of cricket


seen at the club, the Under 13s lost to Cherry Tree, who posted 74 before the locals’ reply of 61.

before Russell Haworth had him stumped off James Capstick. Driver’s 50 came in 95


minutes off 79 balls, and featured six fours and a six, while Nagamootoo’s took 80 minutes off 46 balls, and took in three fours and two sixes. Read were put in to bat


first, having lost the toss, and opener Nick Marsh was soon removed for just three runs by Baxenden profes­ sional Indika Gallage. Terry Little also failed to


make an impact, as his exit for one run made way for Nagamootoo, and also gave Gallage his second wcket.


But once Driver had


gone, further support was given to West Indian Nag­ amootoo, first by Mark Whalley (25), who unfortu­ nately had to retire hurt after taking a ball that required 13 stiches in his eyebrow, and then by War­ ren Eastham, who finished 26 not out. Read finished on 166-3


having faced 34 overs due to a late start, and Baxenden failing to get all 37 allocated overs in. In reply, those seven wick­


ets from Nagamootoo caused Baxenden to fall short, as apart from 41 runs from Francois Herbst - who was caught by his own team mate Toby Bulcock, on in Whalley’s absence - Baxen- den’s effort was kept in check. Gallage made 11 before


being bowled by Nag­ amootoo, and further dou­ ble knocks came from Peter Usher (12), Bulcock (10) and Stephen Molloy (10), but the side ran out of overs at 122-8. The following day at the


Marshfield, Read were sucked in to a 77-run defeat as Settle came back from defeat the day before against Clitheroe with big scores from Mohammed Hafeez (62) and Mark Ver- deri (50) doing the bulk of the damage.


CHATBURN lost at home to Crossflats on


Saturday by three wickets. The locals won the toss and elected to bat,


with captain Stuart Draycott and wicket­ keeper Mark Braithwaite opening. The pair put on 36 for the first wicket,


and set up a good pace that saw the majori­ ty of the order follow and make double fig­ ures, with John Reynolds (37) and Richard

Read had Oliver Newby


back as professional for the day, and the Lancashire bowler took three wickets including both the profes­ sional, who he had caught by Chris Holt, and Verden, who was caught by Kyle O’Connor. Holt also took 3-26, but


further runs from Settle by Stuart Hornby (32) and Tim Green (19) took the Yorkshire side to 188 all out. The old adage of catches


win matches rang true, as a couple of dropped catches at important moments let Hafeez and Verden off the hook. Hafeez was also caught


behind at eight, but the dis­ missal was not given. In reply. Read gave it a


good go, but without a half century of any sort. Matt Doughty’s 32 wasn’t enough to carry the team alone, and the locals were skittled for 111 as Hafeez took 4-26 and Andrew Davidson 3-20. Read’s next best score


was 14 by Andrew Rushton, who was bowled by David­ son. On Saturday, Read are at

best efforts of Russell Braithwaite, who claimed 3-22, with a further wicket apiece for Stuart Draycott and Stephen Booth.
