they stuck to their task, with Bowness taking a wicket in each of his first two overs. Banks came into the


Nuttall claimed a fifth wick­ et, thanks to a good catch behind by Walsh, who also had two previous slumpings off Banks as Baxenden fin­ ished on 56 nett. .In reply, Clitheroe got off


to the worst possible start, with Bowness and Banks surprisingly failing. • Drake (26 not out) and


Dent (13 not out) came in. and took the game by the scruff of the neck and got the score up to 43. Parkin­ son (6 not out) and Nuttall (8 not out) batted sensibly and gave Clitheroe the lead. At the end, Walsh (15 not

poorly, they could have made the game a lot closer. ■ RIBBLESDALE Wander­ ers Under ISs ended Eux- ton’s unbeaten run on their own patch. Euxton made 81-9, with

IT proved to be a weekend of differing emotions for Clitheroa The league leaders were left


floundering on Saturday by Great Harwood, who inflict­ ed only their second defeat of the season. But on Sunday, the Chat-


burn Road side were one of only two sides to beat the weather and record -victory. Closest challengers Padi-


ham and Baxenden both fell victim to the weather, while fourth-placed Cherry Tree were Clitheroe’s -victims. And it meant their nine-


point advantage before the start of the weekend was only narrowed by two points. However, they had do without both Josh Marquet


and Farook Butt for the -viat of the men from Preston Old Road. Marquet had pulled up


with a calf injury while bowl­ ing against Great Harwood the previoirs day, while Butt was unavailable: That meant second teamer


Graeme Kershaw was drafted in to boost the depleted attack. And he helped restrict the


visitors to jirst 183-7, as paid man Shahid Nawaz bowled throughout to pick up 4-57. After the early loss of


Andrew Robinson, Zahoor Elahi joined Mark Hadfield and the pair began to motor. Over 80 runs were on tbe


board by the 16th over, but good work from Naeem


Asbraf, and a mix-up between the Cherry Tree pair led to Hadfield being run out for 41. Kershaw struck to remove


Chris Riley (12), before Nawaz grabbed the key -wick­ et of Elahi when trapping him plumb in front for 29. Nigel Robbins (26) and


Lee Kennedy (30) made runs, but the innings petered out in the end. In reply, the Chtheroe top


order almost won the game between them. The two Boltons opened


Bolton-Nawaz partnership was broken, Clitheroe were within touching distance


Ribbiesdale League Round-Up


WHALLEY professional Brad­ man Ediriweera made (he Rib- blcsdalc League’s highest knock of (he weekend with a century as the locals saw off Cherry Tree by six wickets. However, the following day,


Whalley were saved by the weather. On Saturday, Mark Fallon


was (he pick of the bowlers as Cherry Tree were restricted to 217-9. Lee Burgess made the early


breakthrough, having Ahmer Mirza (18) stumped by John Rain at 26, but the home side put together some steady part­ nerships. Opener Mark Hadfield was


sixth man out for 68 at 138 after contributions from pro­ fessional Zahoor Elahi (17) and skipper Chris Riley (14), and a fine late order 48 from Michael Veevers.' Cherry Tree denied Whal­


ley (he bonus points, but after Fallon’s 4-59, the target looked gettable. Ediriweera was the back­


bone of the reply with an 88- ball 100, coming to the crease at 20 after captain Martin Davies fell for eight. The Sri Lankan put on 73


Jamie Dickinson taking 5- 15, before the locals replied with 82-5, with Henry Kay (30) and Joe Bunyan (31) the top-scorers. .Wanderers’ Under 13s


Barnoldswick, who made 103- 3 (88 nett), with Oliver Rigg taking 1-9. In reply, Ribbiesdale


fell short against Cherry Tree, who totalled 150-2 (134 nett). . ' Wanderers replied with 132-6 (84 nett), with David McGrath (32) and Michael Clarkson (16) in good touch. The Under 11s lost out to

runs short against Fenis- cowles, who scored 116-3, despite the efforts of Michael Clarkson (1-10). : CharIie Collinge (30),


reached 42-6 (12 nett). •The Under 15s fell 12


with Rain, before (he latter was snapped up off Elahi for 29, but Ediriweera was superbly backed up, with Richard Palmer making 25, before Fal­ lon rounded off a fine individ­ ual display with an unbeaten 31 off 25 balls. The following day, the most


explosive hitting came from Earby's Ali Azmat in a no result. After (he locals made 131-9,


Earby replied with 57-1 off five overs, Azmat making a half- century in only 21 balls, only for the storms and a subse­ quent downpour to deny (he visitors. Whalley won the toss and


elected to bat, but were soon in the mire as James Thurstan reduced (hem to 2-2, with Davies caught at slip for one, and Ediriweera going second boll. Simon Gorton fell to the


same man for 19, but Richard Palmer and George Thomas. took the total to 66 before Palmer was out. Youngster Thomas was (he


next to fall, after a stylish 36 off 37 balls. Stephen Booth became the


first of Azmat's four victims but Nick Fielden showed spir­ ited resistance along with David O'Neill, before the storm. On resumption, Burgess fin­


ished on 15 not out as Whalley totaUed 131-9. Earby’s ask was 132 off 121


overs, and Azmat wasted no time in gathering his 50. But the weather won the


day. It is (he return fixture at


Earby on Saturday as the vil­ lagers look to maintain a place in (he top half of the table. • RIBBLESDALE Wanderers were the latest victim of for­ mer Clitheroe professional Jonathan Fielding’s all-round ability on Saturday. First, he picked up figures of


7-46 as he bowled through. Opening (he bowling with


Stephen Molloy, (he pair probed at Wanderers’ opening partnership of Alistair Marsh and Joe Scuderi. But it was a bowling change


that worked wonders, os David Parkinson replaced Molloy in the loth over and had Marsh caught by Simon Payne for 19. However, from that point on


it was the Fielding show. The middle order fell victim


to the Baxenden paid man, with Scuderi only making 28 as he failed to build on a good start. Martin Peel (21) did smash


one huge six before he was castled for 21, while Andy Cox- all (10) was (he only other Fielding victim to make double figures. James Bunyan did add 14


before Gary Sudworth forced him to edge out of his crease and he was promptly slumped. And Terry Braithwaitc was


the last man to fall as Wander­ ers were skittled for 132. In reply, Baxenden opened


confidently as the attack failed to gel to grips with (heir action. Neither Scuderi nor David


Howard yielded any success, as Callum Waddington and David Parkinson laid the foun­ dations for victory. Wanderers finally broke


through when Parkinson found the hands of Ryan Glad­


win off Liam Gidlow for 21. And then Waddington was


trapped in front by Brailhwaite for a patient 45. But Fielding and Mark


Rishton proceeded to advance the total towards the winning target, before (he pro crashed a six off (he first boll of the 44th over off Howard to bring up the win. The day after at


Barnoldswick, it was the home side who won the loss and decided to bat. However, Wanderers


grabbed an early breakthrough when Luke Hodgson was out for a duck off the fourth ball. Paul Beech came in to


steady the ship alongside Jee- vantha Kulatunga, as the pair put on 56 before the pro was caught by Barry Spencer off Terry Brailhwaite for 36. Farhan Shaukat (11) came


and went without offering much resistance, before Beech became Spencer’s second vic­ tim when he fell five short of his half century. Barnoldswick posted 179-7


from their 45 overs. However, Wanderer’s


chances of attacking (he total didn’t last long, as a freak elec­ trical storm put paid to pro­ ceedings.


Wanderers were on 36 with­


out loss when (he rain set in, with Marsh and professional Scuderi unbeaten on nine and 25 respectively. Ribbiesdale will hope to get


back to winning ways on Sat­ urday when (hey host Barnoldswick (1-30 p.m.). • READ’S recent improve­ ment continued over the week­ end. On Saturday, the Whalley


Road side recorded a convinc­ ing eight-wicket victory at home to Edcnfield, although the following day, at home to Great Harwood, the rain inter­ vened with the locals making a real fist of overhauling Har­ wood’s 193-3 declared. Edenfield won the toss and elected to bat, but Read made


• an early breakthrough, with opener Mark Burns lasting only (wo balls before handing a catch to Matt Doughty off pro­ fessional Dodda Ganesh. Of the top order, only Greg Smithson offered much resist-


ance, os Christian Slinger was bowled by Ganesh for five, paid man Babar Naeem (5) was caught by his opposite number off Andrew Rushton, Chris Hanson (7) fell to Chris Holt, and Adam Barnes (11) became Ganesh’s third victim. Smithson tried to hold the


innings together, but only found support from Peter Holt (21 not out) and Brett Storey (37).


Smithson made 51 as Edcn-


field struggled to 176-9. In reply. Read cruised to vic­


tory, despite losing captain Michael Ai^alley without scor­ ing, bowled by Storey. William Driver and Matt


Doughty took the locals to the brink of victory before the lat­ ter was stumped off Naeem four short of his half century, but Driver and Ganesh com­ pleted the job with eight balls and eight wickets to spare. Driver finished unbeaten on


67 and Ganesh ended on 42 not out. The following day. Read’s


home tie with Great Hanvood, got underway on time, with Read winning the toss and electing to put Harwood in. Matthew Howarth lasted


only seven balls before being caught behind by Adam Chester off Ganesh without scoring, and the big-hitting Russell Whalley made only seven before handing Ganesh a return catch. Despite those setbacks,


Harwood knocked up a com­ manding total of 193-3 before declaring after 33 overs, with former Todmorden profession­ al Gyan Pandey unbeaten on 89, and skipper Alan Armer making 64 not out. The rain hit at 3-40 p.m.,


and Read finally came out to reply at 6-25 p.m., with (he chance of playing (he neces­ sary 25 overs unlikely. But the locals had a good go


at knocking the total off, with Whalley hitting an unbeaten 53, and Ganesh also making 27 before falling to Pandey. In the end. Read totalled


108-2 off 18 overs, with (he game abandoned. On Saturday, Read (ravel to

They eventually fell for 67


and 65 respectively, but Naeem Ashraf and Simon Coulter cracked the neces­ sary runs to secure the win. That made amends for


their surprise defeat by Great Harwood the previous day. After being forced to field,


Simon Haworth fell cheaply for seven before paid man Gyan Pandey edged behind to Simon Coulter for 14. Russell Whalley blasted a


quickfire 34, including 21 off one Naeem Ashraf over, but it was Paul Houldsworth who ultimately won the day with an unbeaten 78. The Harwood tail-end


offered little support to Houldsworth, but the total of 208-8 looked attainable


However, after losing both


Nawaz (14) and Neil Bolton (9) cheaply, things looked bleak.


Simon Coulter and Chris


Musson dragged them back into the game with a half-cen­ tury partnership, but Houldsworth grabbed two wickets in two balls to scup­ per any revival plans.


Coulter was caught at long


off by Phil Allen, while Butt fell for a golden duck when caught by Russell Whalley. And -with Clitheroe need­


ing 10 runs off the last over, they ultimately came up short.


Sabden crash out SABDEN crashed out of the Sportsworld Cup after defeat


to Rimington. Bill Thatcher (21), Andy Wray (30) and Graham Bettess


(35) made good contributions as they posted 124-8 off 18


overs. But that was never enough on the tiny Rimington


ground, and the home side coasted to victory with four


overs to spare. The previous day, Sabden had inflicted only a second


defeat on Waddington in their own back yard. Waddington batted first, and despite losing an early


wicket, made steady progress. But tidy bowling put Waddington on the back foot, as


runs became hard to come by. A half hour interruption for a thunderstorm spiced up the wicket, and on resumption, Waddington crumpled to


113 off 35 overs. The Sabden innings was soon in turmoil, with Paul McKenna and Phil Parker both dismissed in the first two


overs. After a brief rally, Sabden then lost two more quick wick­


ets to leave the score at 20-4. But Chris Dunderdale and John Hargreaves put togeth­


er a half century partnership, before Mark Robinson (23 not out) and Andy Davies (9 not out) knocked off the runs in fine style.


Grip on title tightens


RIMINGTON took a massive step on the road to retaining their Clitheroe and District Cricket League title after defeating Chipping A. Closest rivals Waggon and Horses suffered a setback as


they lost to Calderstones. Rimington bowled out Chipping for 89, and knocked off


inflicted a 27-run defeat on Waggon, for whom only Gary Salmon did anything with the bat. Calderstones also beat Chipping A in a rearranged


gate cracking 30, but the hospital side eased home by three wickets, with David Seedall unbeaten on 23. St James Church earned their second win, beating rock

What a week at Whalley!


ONE of (he busiest 10 days in Whalley Golf Club's history ended on Sunday with (he playing of the annual Past Cap­ tains and Past Presidents game - the thunder and light­ ning curtailing play to nine holes, with Dr Michael Maw being declared the winner with a nett 35. Wednesday saw Whalley member Roger Altham hold his ELPGAA Captain's Day at the club. Lowes Park members Dave Haworth and Ian Birtwistle


took first place with 44 points, followed by Geoff Hope and Gary Mcakin from Great Harwood and Whalley respec­ tively with 43 points. Whalley members Bob Caladinc and Peter Benson took


the seniors’ prize with 43 points, and Steve Shoreman and Mike Conroy (43 points) took the Captain’s guests prize. Paul McEvoy (Clitheroe) took the professional's prize


with a fine 71. The second captain's social event of the year took place


on Friday, with victory again going to Martin Byrne, Brid­ get and Clive Rees and Mark Hartley with a nett 24.6. In second place with 27.1 were John, Andrew and Mag­


gie Harvey playing with Agnes Seery. Finally, Saturday heralded the much awaited Pro-Am


event, and the scoring was outstanding. Professional Richard Bean from Up(on-by-Chcster set a


new professional course record of 65 closely followed by' Simon Edwards (66), John Chcctham (67), Neil Price (68) and local professional Stuart Andrew (69) who picked up the remaining principal prizes. Rob Andrew, with brother Stuart alongside him, Paul


Connolly and Chas Livaicii - who had travelled from Min­ nesota for the event - were the team winners with a 21 under par score of 123. A card play-off was needed to determine the second,

third and fourth places - all teams scoring 129. Roger Altham, Danny Liles, Kieran Keogh and profes­


sional Simon Edwards took second spot from Ian Hartley, Peter Benson, Stuart Dawson and professional Richard Bean. In fourth place were Colin T. Elliott, Craig Gorman and Trevor Thornber with professional Gary Donnison. A drive of 330 yards saw Danny Liles take the longest


drive prize on the 13th hole, witii Rob Andrew taking the prize for the nearest the pin on the third hole. Clithcroc’s open mixed fourball went with a bang when a


thunderstorm caused play to be suspended for 90 minutes. The majority of competitors were then able to continue


their rounds, and fortune favoured the brave when Pleas- inglon captain Dennis Lawless and Clitheroe’s Jan Burrows took the main prize with 44 points. Close scrutiny of cards was necessary to split another


three pairs, with the prize list completed with pairs from Fairhaven, Charnock Richard and Penwortham. Club secretary/general manager Chris Spencer produced


an impressive nett 69 in the Peter Geddes Memorial Tro­ phy and would hiivc expected better than fifth place. But the cracking weather and immaculate course pro­


duced a batch of low scores. David Knowles topped the list with a nett 65, two shots ahead of the consistent Jeff Crowther, who earned a two-shot handicap reduction. The reserved Roger Williams lopped a trio of players on


69 taking third place from Steve Ackers and Spencer. This left Gordon Rothwcll the final prize with a nett 70,


and David Heesom claimed the gross with a round of 74. The spate of low scores continued in the midweek


medal. Martin Cane peaked when he shot a nett 65 off his three handicap. His flawless round earned top spot, but only after a card play-off with Matthew' Netllelon. A battling 66 from Paul McGuire for third place earned


him a more realistic mark, and Dave Chippendale contin­ ues to catch the eye with his nett 67. Joe Salazar look advantage of the excellent weather and


superb condition of the course to record 43 points and take the monthly slabicford at Mylton Fold. His score was just enough to defeat John Whittaker, who


used his new driver to good effect to lake second place on 42 points. The divisional prizes were won by Ted Bamborough (41)


and Neil Osliffe (39) in the top tier. Division Two went to Steve Cunliffe, who continued his fine form with 41 points, with Lee Owens (40) runner-up, and Division Three went to back lo-form Chris Czyzyk with 39 points from Buddy Lee on 38 points. Jennifer Eastwood carded 98-31-67 to win the Frances


Smith qualifier at Whalley. Two shots behind in second place came Joan Whittaker


(92-23-69), who finished four clear of Carole Blackadder (94-21-73). The ladies’ mixed invitation at Clitheroe saw Irene


Hinks invite Accrington’s Joan Crossicy and tbe pair card­ ed a nett 68.2 to win by the slenderest of margins. Pal Taylor was joined by Lobden’s Sue Ncilson to card a


68.6 and win on a card play-off from Edith Parkinson and Wilpshire’s Lyn Daly. Sarah Walton and Crompton and Royton’s Karen Hey- wood won the gross prize with a round of 75.
