Celebrations as Valley duo go ‘ace’


By Edward Lee_______


TWO Ribble Valley golfers are cele­ brating recording a hole-in-one this week. David Bolton was the toast of


Mytton Fold after his hole-in-one on the 168-yard 9th hole. He achieved this using his trusty utili­ ty club during his doubles knockout semi-final on Friday. And there was cause for double


celebration when Bolton, and part­ ner Frank Eccles, went on to win the match 2 and 1 to reach the final. And at Clitheroe David Hardie


was the talk of the clubhouse fol­ lowing the Midweek Medal. Hardie shot a steady nett 72 to


qualify for the Tradesman’s Trophy Final. But the highlight of his round


came at the difficult par-three 17th hole when his sweetly-struck iron ■ found its way into the hole. Connor McLaughlin continued


his impressive season with a round of 79-11-68 to take first place. But it was a close call as Denis


Greenup, consistent as ever, posted a nett 69 to claim second place by a shot from Clive Wood. The Tradesman’s Trophy Final


on Saturday saw young Jacob Foley, a nine-handicap junior member, come out on top with a nett 69. Tony McGibbon was edged into


second place after a card play-off, finishing three shots clear of Greenup in third place. Steve Dean made a welcome


return to the winners’ enclosure with a n e tt 70 in the weekend medal. But he had to settle for third


place as Derek Marsh and Derek McIntyre overtook him in the fin­ ishing straight to take the top two spots. In Division Two, Alan Houghton


shot an impressive nett 65 to lead the field by two shots from Doug Wheatley, Tom Madden taking third place on 70. Over 200 competitors converged


on Clitheroe on Sunday for the ever- popular Open Four Man Team event. The Clitheroe team of Carl


Drinkwater, Martin Sherlicker, Steve Ackers and Andrew Heesom returned a solid 85 points but had to settle for second spot behind a team


AS reported last week, Clitheroe GC’s Luke Tidmarsh won the Junior Open at Whalley Golf Club. He is pictured with the trophy, (s)


from Pleasington. Third and fourth spots were claimed by visitors from Bradley Hall and Bolton Old Links. On Sunday, the President’s Tro-


. phy was held at Mytton Fold. Hardy golfers endured almost


monsoon conditions but spirits were not dampened and the course held up extremely well. Keith Gill, continuing his ultra-


consistent season, had a 22-point back nine to take the trophy on 39 points. He finished two shots clear of runner up Malcolm Heyworth. Division One honours went to


Neil Osliffe (37),and Paul Eamshaw (36), with Division Two prizes being won by Michael Kelbie (34) and Martin Holden (33). In Divi­ sion Three the winners were Nick Avino (34) and Terry Steer on 31. In the ladies event, Allison Nut-


tall continues to sweep all before her with another victory after amassing 34 points. Maureen Board followed home at a respectful distance in sec­ ond place on 30 points. Kath Tattersall (94-26-68) won


Division Two of the LGU Medal and the Gilbert Benson Trophy at Clitheroe. Libby McEwan (99-28-71) and


Janet Bailey were the other winners in Division Two while Division One honours went to Mary Eglin (90-17-


73), Mary Thompson (84-11-73) and Sheila Cornwell (94-12-82). Janette Dowdy (97-26-71) was


the clear winner of the LGU at Stonyhurst Park. Second place went to Judith


Kitching (110-30-80) ahead of Car­ olyn Blockeel (97-15-82). Ladies outgunned the men in


Clitheroe’s Junior Open and Daily Telegraph qualifier. Over 100 competitors took part


and only a card play-off gave Wilp- shire’s Emma Clegg the title over Sophie Myles (Skipton). Homesters Andrew Heesom and


Sarah Hale took the gross prizes. And Jack Rothwell’s great season


continued when his gross 75 was too hot for the rest of the field to handle in the Junior Club Championship. That saw him finish three shots


clear of James Taylor and earned him the Ken Holding Trophy. Taylor had to settle for second


nett behind James Fitton who won the Ann James Trophy with a nett 67. Lewis Rothwell took third spot. At Whalley, Anne Prior took the


Veterans’ Trophy competition by three shots after a round of 97-26- 71.


Agnes Flanagan was second (91-


17-74), ahead of Carole Blackadder (93-18-75).

Elizabeth wins gold


RIBBLE Valley fencer Elizabeth Highton returned from the UK School Games in Coventry with individual silver and team gold from the women's epee competition. The fencing event was an Under 17


Home International for the three weapons, epee, foil and sabre, with each nation select­ ing four fencers per weapon. The venue was the Jaguar Exhibition


Hall at the Ricoh Stadium, home of Coven­ try City, with the individual competition on the Saturday and a team competition on Sunday. The competition started with a seeding


round of poules of eight fencers. Elizabeth had a good start, winning all


seven fights in her poule, but England team-mate Corinna Lawrence also won every fight in the other poule and headed the rankings by one indicator point. The first round of the knockout phase


saw Elizabeth struggle to find her touch, and only just defeated Emily Greenan of Northern Ireland 12-11. In the quarter-finals, a 14-11 victory over


Lucy Ridsdale of Scotland followed, to line­ up a semi-final against Sophie St Clair- Jones of England. This was another tight match, with Eliz­


abeth taking a 15-14 victory. The final was a rather one-sided contest,


with Lawrence taking gold 15-4. The team competition found England as


top seeds, taking on Northern Ireland. Elizabeth fenced the second fight to


extend the lead with a 5-0 victory over Holly Gould, and then left it to her team mates to complete the victory 45-27. In the final against Scotland, Elizabeth


went on first and defeated Emma Byatt 5- 2. The lead changed a couple of times as the match progressed, but Elizabeth was able to increase the lead in her second fight against Lucy Ridsdale. Elizabeth then fenced Ali Evans in the last round, with the score 38-27, and took a 7-0 victory to com­ plete the match 45-27.

Emphatic winners


CLITHEROE Tennis Club’s A team earned an emphatic 4-0 win over Park- wood in their penultimate league match of the season at Chatburn Road on Satur­ day. Derek Parrott teamed up with Daniel


Bush for the first time this season, and the pair’s aggressive style proved a successful combination. In the first match they took the first set


quickly 6-2, but then lost several close games to trail 5-1 in the second. Despite pulling back to 5-5, they sur­


prisingly lost the next two games to take the match into a decider, before upping their game to breeze through 6-0 with some powerful shot making. .


.T Hardy perennials Tony Bush and Steve


Pym wasted no time in their opening game, tying up a young pairing with some bewildering angles and decisive net play to take the match 6-0,6-1. In the return rubbers, Derek and


Daniel also took very little time to finish off the second pair 6-1,6-1, leaving Tony and Steve to battle for the final point. The result was never in doubt, although


the match was competitive, the local pair winning 6-3, 6-2 to hand Clitheroe yet another maximum return. • WHALLEY Tennis Club continued their impressive form in the East Lan­ cashire Mixed Tennis League with a 5-3 win over Burnley A in unseasonal weather. Whalley’s regular number one pairing of


Richard Lambert and Susan Liver took a close-fought match against the Burnley number one pairing, winning 7-6,6-4. And against the Burnley second pairing


they were particularly convincing as they dropped just three games in the two sets. Whalley's second pairing made their


first appearance together, with Matthew Lambert and Jill Ormerod securing the one set Whalley needed for the win to keep the village team challenging at the upper echelons of the division.
