dose of defeat, starting at home to Baxenden on Sat- imiay. In fact, it didn't bode well


I


for any of the other local sides in action either, bar league leaders Clitheroe who beat bottom side Bamoldswick on run rate, as Whalley and Ribblesdale Wanderers lost too. Having been put in to


bat, Warren Eastham (79) proved to be Read's shining light with the bat, backed up by professional Dodda Ganesh (51). But despite their best efforts, the Whal­ ley Road side didn’t score enough runs and were beat­ en on run rate tbanks to two overs being lost to rain in the visitors’ reply. Will Driver had a rare


failure as Read took to the crease, caught behind for a duck, but he can console

C


important as one another to the Chatburn Road side, but it was Sunday that pro­ duced the most important results and took the locals 14 points clear of second place Padiham. As while Clitheroe


recorded an eight-wicket maximum point haul over Blackburn Northern, Padi­ ham suffered defeat by one wicket away at Settle. Blackburn made 163 all


out before Neil Bolton's men glided to victory with 164-2, thanks to an unde­ feated Shahid Nawaz centu­ ry and 50 not out by Naeem Ashraf. In fact, Sunday was a


good day for the majority of the Ribble Valley's cricket teams as they all undertook


CHATBURN returned to winning ways to consoli­ date their position at the top of the Craven League Third Division. Tight bowling and good


fielding saw the locals restrict Wilsden to 158-8 off their overs. Rod Booth made a trip


back to the bowling of his youth with 4-65 off 22 overs, and he was well sup­ ported by Andy Booth (2- 45) and Paul Shorrock (2-


41). Chatbum’s batsmen were


(i..


eager to get on with things as rain was forecast. But things did not go to


plan as Steve Bowker was caught off the first ball of the innings. That brought form bats­


man Chris Waddington to the crease, and he and Dave Lakin shared 105 with shots despatched to all corners of the ground. Lakin fell for 34 and


Waddington followed short­ ly afterwards for 56. This was the s ta r t of a mini-collapse as the locals

himself that the club ama­ teur batting record he came so agonising close to break­ ing last season, will surely be his with eight games to


go. Ganesh managed to


anchor the early part of the innings, compiling a 56-ball half-century, as he lost Chris Holt (9) and skipper Michael Whalley (0), before Kyle O’Connor stuck around for a gutsy 26. But it was Eastbam who


provided the fireworks, as he crashed five fours and seven sixes for his 79 off just 53 balls to drag Read towards the 200 mark. Unfortunately he was cut


short in his prime when David Parkinson finally saw off the chief run maker as part of a five-wicket haul for the Baxenden man, rip­


ping through the tail with figures of 5-50 off 14 overs. As a result Read finished


all out for 194 and Baxen­ den picked up the bonus points two balls from the end of the innings when professional Jonathan Fielding had Tim Booth caught for 10. And with the wickets as


they were after the July heatwave, th a t total was not enough. Despite the efforts of


Ganesh, who took 5-69 off 16 overs, Mark Rishton (38), former Clitheroe pro­ fessional Fielding (45) and Toby Bulcock (26 not out) did enough to guide Baxen­ den to victory. Whalley also got off to a


poor, somewhat embarrass­ ing start on Saturday with a 52-run defeat to Black­


burn Northern - having been in the driving seat for most of the game. After collecting the bonus


points for bowling out their opponents for 216, the local villagers capitulated with the bat, turning victory into defeat after being on course for all seven points at 98-0. Mark Fallon with 6-66


was Whalley's leading wick­ et taker as all 10 Northern wickets fell to catches, of which George Thomas took three. In reply, Whalley got off


to a flier with Martin Davies (53) somehow man­ aging to out score Bradman Ediriweera before the paid man was bowled around his legs for 43 off 37 balls with the score on 98. Lee Kearsley failed to

anything else of note, as Barnoldswick gave away 23, with Kyle O’Connor (13) and Sam Marshall (11) the only other two to join Eastham and Driver in double figures as Barnoldswick professional Jeevantha Kulatunga and Michael Scothern ripped through the order. The Sri Lankan took 3-55


32 before falling to Driver. But Kulatunga’s unbeat­


en 48 saw Bamoldswick to victory. At Station Road things


were much more positive for Whalley, who put their pre­ vious day’s disappointment behind them to pick up seven points with a compre­ hensive win over Oswald- wistle Immanuel. All of the home bowlers


end when Nicky Byrne picked the first of his three victims in a fiery spell that showed plenty of promise. He then removed top run


scorer Greenwood (27), which proved to be the beginning of the end for the visitors. Lee Burgess and Simon

and found scoring runs difficult against accurate bowling from Geoff Lambert (5-20) and Chris Mulheam (2^), ending up all out for 94. The other wicket takers


were Nabeel Javed (2-8) and Tom Eglin (1-13). In reply, the locals lost


wickets at regular intervals and had reached 60 when the eighth wicket fell. However, Lambert, with


an excellent unbeaten 27, and Mulhearn, with eight not out, saw the side record a narrow victory. There were useful contri­


butions from Javed (17) and Paul Woodworth (13), but the batting will have to improve if they are to have any prospects of promotion.


CLITHEROE and District Midweek Cricket League leaders Rimington suffered their first defeat of the sea­ son against Low Moor, giv­ ing the chasing pack a sniff of catching them. Low Moor batted first


and scored a massive 174 from 15 overs, with Paul Craig, Andrew Booth and Marc Holmes in the runs. Holmes’ 30 came off just


seven balls. •In reply, Rimington


made a big effort, falling just four runs short, with Steve Whalley, Ben Dowl­ ing and A. Davies retiring on 30. Calderstones and Wag­

Gorton claimed a victim apiece and Edirweera returned to dismiss the last man to a fine catch by Burgess that signalled an early tea with 90 being the target tor victory. Davies and the Whalley


pro put on 32 before the captain went for 12. Ediri­ weera played a restrained innings and was in no hurry, while his next part­ ner Lee Kearsley got 17, including three boundaries, before exiting off the bowl­ ing of Greenwood. But the Sri Lankan


trouble the scorers, and a poor shot from Davies saw him stumped for 53 with five fours and two sixes to his name with 99 on the board. And despite a valiant 23


from promising youngster Thomas, aided by Stephen Booth with 21, the Whalley order collapsed as profes­ sional Abdul Bisoodwall claimed 7-32 to see Black­ burn Northern skittle the locals for 164. And Ribblesdale came

formed with the bat to score 78, before he became one of Kashif Siddique's seven vic­ tims (7-49), arid Stephen Kerr (51) smashed a mid­ order half century to boost the score - only it proved not enough as Siddique ripped through the order. Only Briggs (15) and

out) was the star of the day as his century went a long way to the 253 runs they needed for victory with his winning boundary coming off the final ball of the innings. Further contributions


were seen from sub profes­ sional Steve Dearden (31), Stephen Kerr (40), Barry Spencer and Alistair Marsh. In the first innings, Eden­

RIBBLE Valley District Under 13s won two games in two days to secure a semi-final place in the Lan­ cashire Cup. At Burnley, the locals got


off to a good s ta r t with Hopkins (Ribblesdale) and Knight (Longridge) putting on 78 for the first wicket, before Hopkins fell seven runs short of his 50. Dewhurst (Clitheroe) joined Knight and took a liking to some friendly bowling, scoring 12 off his first over. Knight was then caught out for 38 after a watchful innings. Dewhurst and Le-Breton


(Clitheroe) maintained the scoring until Dewhurst skied one and was caught for 54. Le-Breton upped the


pace and together with Clarkson (Ribblesdale) took the total to 205-4 off their 40 overs. Le-Breton finished on 29

New workout set to pack a big punch


A NEW martial arts-based workout is set to pack a punch in the Ribble Valley next month. Strictly aimed at teenagers, the class combines


traditional aerobic moves with punches, kicks and blocks used in martial arts, all set to the latest music. And according to Roefield Leisure Centre duty


officer Heather Crane, the new routine is definitely not for the feint-hearted. "The instructor tested the routine out on me a


few weeks ago, and though I like to think I'm an energetic person, I certainly found it challenging," she said. Anyone requiring further information should call Roefield Leisure (01200 442188).
