MARK Smitheringale enter­ tains his old club Goole on Sat­ urday and judging by Clitheroe’s last two outings against the Humberside outfit, it should be another explosive fixture. Given that there has been nine

goals and, three dismissals between the two sides already this season, the Clitheroe care­ taker boss expects more of the same and is hoping to tip the balance this time out. The Blues lost both of those

.BROCKHALL’S Janet Heys is ■preparing for the run of her life. The 39-year-old accountant


is counting down the days to ; the 2006 -Flora London Marathon as she bids to go through the barrier and com­ plete the 26-mile course for charity. The good cause she is push­


ing herself to the limit for is visually impaired children’s charity Victa Children and she has pledged to raise £850. And the novice runner is tak- '


ing her daunting challenge very, seriously: “I am a little nervous about how I feel, at the moment my mind is a roller- coaster of events starting from ‘can I really run that far’ to ‘I can do it’.


: ' “I’ve got the trainers suitable •


for running long distances, a good pair of socks-.essential:, for not getting blisters, and, to motivate me, I ’ye found some like-minded people and joined a running club.” ; . Her first night at Accrington


Road Runners was apparently a d i^ te q though, as although she coiild manage the five-mile


stretch, she was at the back the; entire time.


■ The encouragement has spurred her on.


- She has subscribed to Run­ ners World magazine, studied books and even set about changing her nutritional ■ralues:: “I quickly discovered eating the right things, such as protein and carbs, and getting lots o f . sleep are key. ‘"Taking a supplement while


you are running is also a good, idea which I found out from a visit to a lady called Jane a t .


! M iliiiaig


Science in Sport at Brockhall Village. “She informed me about ail ;


the products and allowed me samples to try, and on my longest rim of 14 miles last weekend, I took a gel bar which didthetrick.” .: Janet aims to build her dis­


tances over the coming weeks before race day on April 23rd, upping the pace week by week. In order to help raise money


for, Victa she has. abeady held a); Vaientine’s Day cake stall at Trutex where she works, which :


■ And Smitheringale knows three points would also do both teams the world of good as they lie 17th (Clitheroe) and 18th respectively in the UniBond First Division. He said: “It’s 1-1 for me at the moment because I was at Goole


trips and six members of Smitheringale’s squad will be out for revenge, especially Ryan Parr and Peter Collinge who saw red.'


when they beat Clitheroe in the FA Cup and then I was on the other bench back in December, so I’m looking to make it 2-1. . “I t ’s a big game for me, I


know the players and manager very well and they will want to take points off me as much as I do off them. “You can argue both ways


Goole’s leading striker Steve Davey for the last 10 years, the player who was sent off and involved in both of Clitheroe’s ' dismissals, and he expects him to come off the bench and tackle Parr and Collinge again., As it stands Smitheringale has


that it’s an advantage to have been at both sides as they know me as well as I know them and we both know what to expect. Smitheringale has also known


near enough a full squad at his disposal as Scott Priestley returns having missed last Sat­ urday through illness. George Melling is now avail­


able again, having seen out his suspension, but he might not


make an appearance, while the only short-term injury concern is John Paul Fagan. There is also the possibility of


the club making another signing before the week is out as they bid to strengthen the squad further by working with Accrington Stanley. Looking at last Saturday, the


Skipton-based boss was delight­ ed with a 1-1 draw against Shep- shed Dynamo, he said: “Satur­ day saw an excellent battling performance that saw passion, commitment and enthusiasm and that is all I could ask for”. . “The support given by the


fans towards the end was fantas­ tic and really lifted us but we need to make more chances.” Meanwhile off the pitch, the


club appear to be back on track • and now have some financial security, but, according to treas­ urer Andrew Jackson at last week’s special general meeting, they are still working on a week toweekbasis. He said: “We’ve gone from less


than £1,000 at the last meeting in January to £2,000 at the end of this month. Thanks have to go to the many donations given: to us and the two anonymous loans totalling £10,000 which have been put in a separate high interest account.


. “We’re aiming not to touch


tha t money and trying every other avenue. We’re not out of the woods yet but we’re in a much healthier climate than we were.”. Acting chairman Carl Garner


added: “It’s our responsibility to give you the best product that we can afford - afford being the important factor! “Everything has been done for


the right reasons, they haven’t . always been popular, but they have been done for the right rea­ sons.” . Garner also said on the night


that Smitheringale has the club’s backing as caretaker until the end of the season if needs be but he made it clear that one of the prospective managers would be

asking for anyone interested in sponsoring her efforts in Lon-. don to come'forward, she said: “I ’m hoping that I can per­ suade companies in Clitheroe to donate prizes that I can raffle. “My managers at Trutex


have been brilliant in their sup­ port and I would like to thank them for this.”,
