- W C.’l


fhave been laughing a t 'Bridlington Town on Satur­ day. Two goals to the good fol­


minute with a delectable 20-yard strike to put the Blues ahead. With the outside of his


lowing exceptional strikes by David Dempsey and Owen Roberts, they looked to have this mental battle tied up against the Uni- Bond First Division's base­ ment side. But while Bridlington's


Rugby Union team had fin­ ished their 80 minute game in the ground next door, Clitheroe were left to rue yet more refereeing misery by receiving two red cards and conceding two Kevin


sc^-^Smith goals in the final 10 minutes. The East Yorkshire side


Grindleton’s


victory stroll Grindleton ..................... 4 Trawden Celtic ..............2 PLAYING against a young, energetic side the home team started the slower but could have taken the lead had Steve Walker and Jimmy Towler made better of some clear-cut chances. ■ In the best move of the game Walker finally put


'li.i.'Grindleton in front with a "neat turn and finish inside


the box. The away side drew level


soon after, when a shot was spilled by keeper Darren Jackson allowing the advancing striker to tap in from close range. Walker made i t a brace


before half-time, shrugging off a strong challenge before beating the keeper. In the second half it was


Grindleton who started the brighter, with constant pressure imposed on the


t ;-


.Trawden defence. Martin Cowey made it three when a mix-up in the Trawden defence allowed the winger to strike the ball home. The game was then put


out of reach when winger Martin Dobson went on a mazy run down the left, before launching a right- foot strike in to the top right comer. However, Trawden did


not go down without a fight and pulled one back almost immediately to make the


game 4-2. Saturday’s victory was


preceded by a fund-raising event for both the village football and cricket clubs. Over £1,500 was raised

And a Dempsey cross


found the head of Dean only to narrowly go wide. But Roberts made no


mistake with his direct free kick on the half-hour as he rifled a rocket shot through the Bridlington wall for the Blues' second of the after­


noon. Clitheroe were in com­


mand, back a t their own league level, but they had a scare when a ball forward by Town's Martin Barnes ran free under the foot of Steve Hussey to home strik­ er Smith. Thankfully for the Blues,


the Bridlington man's 41st minute shot cannoned off the upright and away to safety. And James Dean should


have p u t the side three goals up, only to have his effort curiously ruled out for off-side by the linesman. In the second half


Clitheroe's continued to control


possession.


Dempsey played in another one-two with Dean only to be smothered out by the keeper. And Clitheroe's Paul


Horridge had to be on hand to tip over a Drew McCoubrey effort. However, the tide turned


against the Blues, perhaps coincidently with the sub­ stitution of Ross Bain for Dempsey, with Simon Gar­ ner moving from the centre of defence to the left of mid- field. The whole balance of the


team changed and the locals were issued a stark warning 15 minutes from


the end. Bain let slip an easy


clearance and Horridge had to come out of his area and handle the ball to make up for the mistake. The referee didn't send off the shot stopper but he later made up for his lenient decision. Seven minutes later the


man in black pointed to the spot and awarded the home


Sweet revenge for the league leaders!


Rimington....................... 3 score his maiden first team


Langho.............................. 0 LEAGUE-leaders Riming­ ton gained revenge for their league defeat a t Langho thanks to three second half goals. The home side were slow


to get going but when Coul­ ter reached the bye-line and pulled the ball to Rick Whalley it seemed easy to score but the midfielder’s effort balloon over the bar Shortly after Paul Keigh­


ley made a great run into the area but again, the shot flew over. Alan Sayle replaced the


unwell Terry Nelson and the home side looked much more dominant but even so, Langho had a couple of good opportunities to score. In the second half, a fine


move involving Walmsley and Tom O’Neill saw the winger’s cross parried by the keeper when tmder pres­ sure from Coulter and Ollie McClean was on hand to


goal. I t was soon 2-0 as Ed


O’Neill struck his shot into the far comer. Whalley and Braithwaite


replaced Coulter and O’Neill and the veteran striker was perfectly placed to make it 3-0 before the end as Keighley’s shot was saved but Whalley calmly slotted home the rebound. Terry Braithwaite again


praised his men who with­ out the injured Penman are making up for the loss of their big centre forward with sheer determination. But the manager knows


that S aturday’s trip to Rock Rovers followed by the fixture a t Silsden are must-win games before the Christmas break. Worslhorne Reserves . .4 Rimington Reserves . . .3 RIMINGTON endured a nightmare at Worsthome as the centre of attention defi­ nitely was focused on the


referee and his decisions. Ben Threlfall started the


goals flowing thanks to Gary Brunskill's strength in the centre of the park. The latter won the ball to play Threlfall through who calmly slotted home. And Gary Haslam then

ner. Brunskill went on a good


sent the pacey Warren Green down the left to drill home under the keeper for goal number two. All was going well for


Rimington, apart from a few missed chances from Threlfall and Matt Gamer. Worsthome dispatched a


penalty when Iain Cza- powski was alleged to have pulled a shirt in the area. The leveller came from a blatant off-side when the referee ignored the linesman and Rimington were bewil­ dered. The second half saw


Rimington come out with all guns blazing! It did take 30 minutes to find the break-through with Haslam


run only to be mauled in the box by two defenders and the referee bemused everyone again by not awarding a blatant penalty as Rimington created chance after chance but couldn’t kill the game.' Worsthorne counter­


attacked and got a leveller once again which appeared to be off-side! The final nail in the cof­


fin came when Worsthome strack for the final time to take the lead and the three points. Rimington tried to find


another goal in the final minutes but once again chances went begging from Threlfall, Garner and Haslam. Man-of-the-match Brunskill also hit the post from 25 yards with a solid performance in the centre of midfield.


But Hurst Green keep up the pressure with victory


Hurst Green ..................3 Peel P a rk..........................0 MARK Young scored a hat-trick as Hurst Green overcome a spirited Peel Park side who belied their position near the foot of the East Lancashire League First Division table. The locals dominated the


game for long periods. They had a succession of


first half chances before eventually taking the lead


after 65 minutes. Young opened the scor­


ing with a superb 20-yard free kick, having gone close with four previous efforts from a similar range. And he doubled his tally


played him through and he finished with ease. Peel Park had only one


with an explosive shot from a tight angle on the right-hand side of the box. Hurst Green had to wait


chance of note when, with the game still goal-less, Stephen Young made a great save when he found himself in a one-on-one position with the visiting striker. In the end Hurst Green’s

superior fitness was the telling factor as they fin­ ished the game much the


stronger of the two teams as Andy Whaites took the man-of-the-match accolade. Still in the hunt for the


title, they can actually take over a t the top by winning their games in hand, man­ ager Andy Holden is look­ ing for the same sort of domination on Saturday when the locals are away to another of the lowly sides, Witton Park.


side a penalty for a tackle by Greg Anderson which to all intents and purposes appeared fair. Unfortunately unused


substitute Neil Reynolds remonstrated too far and was sent from the technical area, Smith kept his compo­ sure to beat Horridge and Bridlington were back in the game. Straight from the restart


the ball was pumped back into the Clitheroe box. The danger was cleared, but the referee appeared to spot another dubious infringe­ ment and awarded the home side a free kick on the edge of the area. This time Jason Jones


saw red for arguing Clitheroe's case and Smith found the back of the net again with a well taken set piece to level the game.


Derby defeat is first loss


of the season


Waddington....................3 WFC Clitheroe................4 WADDINGTON suffered


their first league defeat of the season when they lost to their local rivals. Fighting for every ball


and being solid in every tackle was the order of the day for the Pimlico Road


victors. And WFC’s manager got


exactly what he ordered as Waggon bullied Wadding­ ton off every ball in every challenge. The villagers started the


brighter of the two teams and had wasted two oppor­ tunities to open the scoring in the first 10 minutes. At the other end, home


goalkeeper Leach was forced to make an acrobatic save to keep the visitors at


bay. After peppering the

Grindleton’s victory stroll Ozzy Refugees................3 from close range.


THE Dog Music and Sports Bar met Ozzy Refugees on a very windy morning and came away with a high-scoring win. With the conditions mak­


ing it difficult for either team to take control, the Dog scored first mid-way through the first-half with a goal from Nick Lord when he took on two defenders before slotting it home. Shortly after it could


have been two, when the Ozzy Refugees keeper made an acrobatic save from Ross KUminster. And then Kilminster


made it two, with man-of- the-match Lord again tak­ ing on the defence before passing to his fellow player. The Dog looked in com­


plete control a t half-time, with Kenyon yet to make a save. A third goal came quick­


ly after the restart when a series of slick passes sent Lord through for his second. Two minutes later and it


was four, with Danny Sharpies getting the ball on the left and curling his effort past the keeper. At this point the


der of the first half, Waddington missed two further chances to score from efforts by Dean and ^ Cane, while Clitheroe should have extended the lead when two of their play­ ers failed to connect with a ball squared across goal. After the break. Wag­


gon's second goal was not long in coming and more pressure and ambition from the visitors provided Geoff Young with a tap that was deflected in by a Wadding­ ton defender. Waddington pulled a goal


back soon after, with Fletcher scoring from close range, but their joy was short-lived as the visitors increased their lead with only 15 minutes remaining, forcing the home side to push forward. Fletcher ran on to a long


ball over visiting defender Parsons and scored with a well-struck shot. And five minutes later,


Hurs t equalised for Waddington, running on to a headed clearance to strike home from 25 yards. With the game in i t ’s


Clitheroe side looked in complete control but the Ozzy Refugees fought back with two quick goals when the Dog defence were caught napping, and with a third minutes later, the locals looked on the ropes. Lord was away again to


complete his hat-trick before Sharpies scored his second of the game. I t could have been more


for Dog as the woodwork denied then on a couple of occasions. And despite one of the


Ozzy Refugees centre backs being sent for a professional foul on Sharpies in the clos­ ing minutes, they managed to keep the I3og at bay.

Langho Under 1 1 s .........3 Rossendale Valley......... 1 LANGHO'S winning run continued with a 3-1 win to keep hopes of a top two fin­ ish alive. An early own goal from the Rossendale defence was equalised in a low key first-half, during which several chances were squandered by the home side. A half-time "roasting" was followed by a good sec­ ond half show, with goals coming from Joel Phelps and Sean Holmes. And super goalkeeping at the end from Peter Richardson preserved the two goal advantage.


Clitheroe Wolves


Wolves Under 1 4 s ......... 10 Brier field Celtic Blue . .2 WOLVES coasted into the next round of the cup. The contest was over by half­ time with the Wolves nine goals ahead. There were some good moves in the

IN the face of a biting wind and driving rain, Wolves Under 10s pulled off their best performance of the sea­ son so far. The first goal came from captain Nathan Mitchell slotting the ball home at the near post. This was followed by a penalty scored by Neil Sharma after he was brought down. And Wolves continued to trouble the Huncoat defence in the second half although they found themselves having to defend a torrent of attacks from Huncoat against the wind. Huncoat pulled one back early on but. Wolves soon went further ahead from a belting 15-yard strike by Tom Reede. The score remained unchanged thanks to solid performanc­ es from Reuben Hirst and James Sharpies. Wolves continued to attack despite the increasing head wind and heavy pitch and their hard work was eventually rewarded when Jay Hibble took advantage of some skilled passing to give Wolves their fourth goal. Sam Jones was named man- of-the-match for his mid- field performance in the first half and as goalkeeper in the second.


Whallev Juniors


Langho Juniors.............2 DESPITE a heavy pitch and strong winds, these two teams produced a game that was an excellent advert for junior football. With the wind a major factor in their favour, Langho dominated the first half and pinned Whalley in their own area for long periods. I t was no surprise that they took an early lead, and doubled it later. The second half was a different game as Whalley took control and pressed for the goals to get back into the game. The first by Con­ nor Ripley was an old fash­ ioned centre forward's goal as he took the ball through the Langho defence brush­ ing aside tackles before fir­ ing home. Whalley contin­ ued to press forward, and the equaliser came as a Langho defender deflected a long throw into his own net.


Whalley Under 14s..........2


The home side pressed for­ ward as they scented victo­ ry, and only a superb save by the Langho keeper denied them. An excellent team performance by 'Whal­ ley, with Will Kenyon out­ standing.


Readstone United


Readstone United Under 13s Yellow.........................9 BAC Preston....................0 READSTONE Under 13s ran riot over BAC Preston. Unbelievably the scoreline flattered the Preston side who were made to fight all the way. The boys deserve praise for reaching this stage of the competition. Craig Martin was named man-of-the-match. Readstone Under 13s Blue .3 Barnoldswick Town . . . .1 TWO goals by Liam Hindle and a third from Jordan Holden gave Readstone United victory. The man- of-the-match award went to Kyle Bainey but all the team deserve praise for their efforts. Reaslone Under 14 Girls 5 Haslingden Juniors . . . .1 ANOTHER good perform­ ance by Readstone brought a comprehensive victory. A Sophie Hindle brace and a go^ apiece for Zara Pollard, Alisha Cryer and player-of- the-match Melissa Hether- ington, secured the rout. Readstone Under 15s . . .0 Wilpshire Wanderers . . .0 READSTONE created enough goalscoring chances to win this game comfort­ ably, but left their shooting boots a t home. Tony Haworth was named man- of-the-match.


Roefield tfei^re:


Pendle Forest...................0 Roefield Under 12s . . . .3 ROEFIELD claimed this match in the first 15 min­ utes. After three minutes Roefield's James Duerden struck from just inside the box to put the locals into the lead. After seven min­ utes Roefield scored again following some good build up play with Lewis Bilbie providing a good finish. Roefield kept pushing for­ ward but failed to convert some good chances, until 15 minutes into the game when they were awarded a free kick. Duerden struck a superb shot into the top left-hand corner. The Pen­ dle side had the wind behind them in the second half but the Roefield defence was solid. The locals proved dangerous on the break and created lots of chances in front of goal but failed to convert any more.
