On to next round
CLITHEROE B team faced Blackburn B at home in the East Lancs Chess Asso ciation knock-out competition last week. Blackburn B were the winners of last
year’s competition and Clitheroe B were defeated 5-0 in their pre'vious game this season. However, Clitheroe were able to field a stronger team for this return match.
Things did not start well for Clitheroe
when John Smith was rapidly defeated on board two. Wins on board one for Eric Mansfield and board three for Phil Tit- terington gave the visitors hope, but a defeat on board four for Ray Sutcliffe meant that everything depended on the outcome of captain John Moxon's board five game. Watched by the rest of the Clitheroe
team, John avoided any traps or blunders to win, giving Clitheroe a 3-2 victory and progress into the next round.
