JUDGE Walmesley did extremely well a t this year’s Ribble Valley Ladies Darts Association presentation evening. The Billington estab­


lishment not only won the league title, bu t also picked up several individ­ ual honours. Barbara Parker took


the honours for the side in the Pat Taylor Memorial Trophy, having beaten the Swan and Royal’s Lou Procter in the final. Parker also took home


the Marsden Shield for her victory over Low Moor’s Dawn Stevenson, as well as recognition for her highest score of 180 and a 12-dart finish. Fellow team members


L. Celestial and S. Hoole won the Norman Garner Memorial Trophy with their -victory over Billing­ ton Club’s N. Dwayne and S. Almond, with £250 raised towards the neurol­ ogy unit a t Blackburn Royal Infirmary. Others to succeed in the individual stakes were


Andrea Howarth -with her 180 for the Black Bull, and both the Black Bull’s Natalie Iddon and Billington Club’s Eileen Twist for their 12-dart fin­ ishes. The highest finish of the


season came from the Black Bull’s Eileen Jung- bluth. However, the Judge did­


n’t win the Pat Dobson Memorial Trophy, as they finished as runners-up to Swan and Royal. And they were also


beaten into second spot by Catholic Social Centre in the Heather Shears Memorial Trophy. The Kath Smith


Memorial Charity Domi­ noes competition, mean­ while, saw the honours presented to Swan and Royal’s Sheila Sims, who beat Billington’s Becky Bolton. And the darts element


to that same competiton was taken by Catholic Social Club’s Barbara Cusack, who beat Craven’s Janet Gallagher.


Money raised from the


competition saw £100 donated from the darts to Ronald McDonald House, and from the dominoes to Macmillan Cancer Care. Low Moor Club took


the honours in the Ann Bentley Memorial Trophy competition as Denise Brown, Maureen Brown and Dawn Stevenson beat their fellow club members Doris Barnes, Doris Clark and Marie MacQuarrie in the final. And Craven’s Joyce See-


dle and Rita Linacre col­ lected their honours for beating their fellow team members June Johnson and Janet Gallgher in the doubles final.


Wolves are the penalty kings!


MAYBE England can take a few pointers from Clitheroe Wolves. Their Under 9s made a


successful defence of their Myerscough Football Tournament recently. And they did so with a


penalty shootout success against Springfield. Like England, their


game had ended goalless, but they ultimately came through after a tough and gruelling encounter. Under the managerial


guidance of Roy Catter- mole, the side made it through the group stages without losing a goal. Excellent goalkeeping


from Paul McGrath, and solid defending from Andrew Tomlinson and


Niall Scorah saw them into the knockout stages. Wolves required their


first penalty shoout to get past the hosts in the quar­ ter-finals after a goalless


draw, before Dominic Telford netted twice in a 2-0 semi-final success against Red Rose. And their success was completed against Spring-


field, with assistant Val Tomlinson also playing her part. The team are pictured

MEMBERS of the Clitheroe and District Darts and Dominoes League held a blind trebles charity evening and auc­ tion in memory of Slavimir Radivojevic, who sadly passed away in April. The successful event


was held a t the Royal British Legion and was attended by his family, team-mates and work col­ leagues. The auction, conducted

football and boxing mem- orablilia, and gift vouch­ ers kindly donated by Blackburn Rovers,


Clitheroe ‘FC and the town and county darts players. Over 50 raffle prizes

received from 5 Chestnut Drive, Calderstones (£49), Clitheroe and Dis­ trict Darts and Dominoes League (£130), Clitheroe Men’s Superleague (£91) and Ribble Valley Ladies Darts League (£40). Organisers Mick Lyne


and Debbie Townsend were delighted with the sum of £1,623 raised, which was divided equally between Cancer Research


and Ribble Valley Macmillan Committee. A representative from


Macmillan, who received the cheque, ensured every­ one th a t the proceeds would be spent within the Ribble Valley. Mick and Debbie would


like to express their grati- tiude to the British Legion staff, to everyone who attended and contributed so generously, and to Phil Greatorex for keeping order. Winners of this special
