effective barrier, and goalkeeper Scott Hartley was in good form to deny the Blues in the air at corners and at ground level on more than one occasion. Unlike Clitheroe’s last three out­

pick up at the back post for a left- wing set piece would cost the locals dear in the 13th minute as Buxton centre back Tommy Agus’s out­ stretched foot latched onto Craig Dove’s dead ball to poke home. Craig Sargeson and Simon Gar­


ner almost took it in turns with in­ swinging corners from either side of the Buxton-goal from then on, as the visitors decamped to the home half and applied pressure imtil half­ time. Sargeson had by far Clitheroe’s


best attempt of the half, and possi­ bly the game, on 24 minutes when his drilled shot from the edge of the area brought a full stretch save


' from Hartley, pushing the ball out for another corner. Clitheroe’s play didn’t appear as

fluent as in recent games, as Buxton were more aggressive, leading to both sides picking up their fair share of yellow cards. Attacking width was lost at the expense of defence, and striker Paul Lamb was isolated in attack. I t just didn’t come off for the


newly contracted player. Pressure from centre back Wes Milnes closed down the striker, and where his


every touch had led to gold in his first three outings, he wasn’t allowed the same breathing space by the Buxton skipper. Lamb wasn’t totally without chances, his best nearly forcing an own goal after his shot deflected off Milnes, forcing Hartley into anoth­ er save leading to another corner. Clitheroe mixed it up with the


double substitution of Jason Jones and Ian Johnson, making way for Darrell Avery and Michael Oates, Stammers swapped things around and Garner dropped into defence, but again they were limited to half chances. Buxton got forward more


towards the end of the half, and but for some well positioned defending by Gregg Anderson, coupled with Garner snapping a t the forwards, the danger was cleared. And after an incredible nine min­


utes of injury time, that saw Fearon have to come well out of his area to clear a through ball and deny Bux­ ton substitute Mark Reed, Clitheroe were left to reflect, regroup and move on to Saturday’s FA Cup Preliminary Round trip to Atherton LR, in the knowledge that the team that does the most work, doesn’t necessarily get the gain.

Dog Sports beat fellow newcomers


THE Dog Sports Bar scored a deserved win over fellow newcomers Welly Clayton in their penultimate friendly before the Harry Dewhurst Memorial League starts. Welly started the brighter of the


two, putting a shot over the bar in the second minute and forcing four corners in the first five minutes. But on 18 minutes, the Dog went


ahead when Danny Blackburn was scythed down in the penalty box and Mark Arthur stepped up to the spot. Welly upped their physical game,


and after a good parry from Chris Kenyon, the visitors scored an equaliser. However another cross from Tom Smith on 29 minutes saw Dan


Blackburn calmly round the keeper to put the Dog 2-1 up. A controversial leveller in the


38th minute had the Dog bench claiming the ball went out of play, only to loop in over the keeper to send the teams in level. After the interval, the Dog took


the initiative in the 49th minute as Dan Sharpies put them ahead for a third time. But controversy struck again in


the 54 th minute when Welly's keep­ er lost his head and cynically brought down Sharpies outside the area, with no card shown by the match official. The Dog failed to gain anything from the free kick that followed, but


Welly pushed up field and scored to level the game at 3-3. Welly pushed hard as they looked


to go ahead for the first time, but struggled to find a way past the defensive pairing of Matt Day and Tom Smith. However, in 65th minute the off­


side trap was sprung and Welly broke, sensing a winner, but Keny­ on produced the save of the match in a two-on-one situation. Both teams continued to push for


a winner, and substitute Nick Lord got it at the death with a great piece of individual skill. ■ Dog Inn will begin their first


season in Division One with an away match against Stanley St


Clarets at Wilson's on Sunday. Buoyed by a new kit sponsorship


from local estate agents Athertons', the Whalley side knows the impor­ tance of a good start to life in the top flight. Manager Simon Kerins is hopeful:

RIBBLE Valley Under 13s have reached the Lancashire Cricket Board Final after a tense encounter against Black- bum with Darwen. Winning the toss and batting on a green Stonyhurst


wicket, the locals found the going tough. Hopkins (Ribblesdale) was the first to go, caught at


point, before Knight (Longridge) lost patience and was caught behind. Gale (Longridge) also fell cheaply, and the Valley side


were in desperate trouble at 13-3. Dewhurst and Le-Breton, both of Clitheroe, managed to


take the score up to 78 before Dewhurst was adjudged Ibw for 28. Le-Breton remained focused and saw two more batsmen

READ lost both of their respective league encoun­ ters at the weekend away to Settle on Saturday and Padiham on Sunday as their performances proved lacklustre. Only Will Driver showed
