Colne United ............................2 Burst Green.............................. 3


THE East Lancashire League leaders were made to battle for victory. Twice Hurst Green took the


lead and twice they were pegged back until substitute Danny Walker popped up with a dramat­ ic late winner to prove why his side are title favourites. Hurst Green made the early


breakthrough when Mark Young crossed from wide on the right for Alan Goar to head in. But Colne began to make an


impression and the locals were for­ tunate to get away with two penalty appeals in the first half before Colne finally levelled just before the break. Hurst Green upped the tempo


after the break and had their hosts on the back foot.


Chipping hang on


Iloghlon Il'csf End ................... 2 Chipping ..................................... 3 CHIPPING were down to the bare bones with the absences of several players. I t was well into the first half


when the opening goal arrived. After a scrappy bit of play in the centre circle, the ball broke to Chris Leighton, who slid the ball between two defenders to the surging Danny Austin who showed great compo­ sure to beat the on-rushing keeper. However, Chipping did not hold


on to the lead for long. The home team were awarded a penalty which left the Chipping defenders bewil­ dered as the home side equalised. Chipping then showed their


fighting spirit as they won a penal­ ty of their own after a defender barged into Austin and Steve Proc­ ter stepped up and beat the keeper. The second half saw Hoghton


pile on the pressure. Strong defend­ ing from Dean Austin, Tom Drap­ er, Joe Baines and Pete Marsden limited the home side to speculative attempts and it was midway through the second half when West End got their first opportunity. Rich Ireland had to react smart­


ly to a free header just six yards out, which the Chipping keeper was able to tip over the crossbar. This encouraged Hoghton to


push on for the equaliser and they got their reward with an own goal. Chipping’s response was immedi­


»»;•


ate, and after a lacklustre second half, they showed their class through the move of the match. Chris Leighton and Ste Proctor


combined in midfield to see a fine ball put through to Dave Ross who darted into the Hoghton area, and squared it to Stewart Malley, who netted a fine winning goal. Match sponsors for this game


itti


were The Gibbon Bridge, Chipping, and man-of-the-match was award­ ed to Dean Austin. Chipping will be looking for a


similar result on Saturday when they welcome Heath Charnock to the village (2 p.m.).


The strike pair of Young and


Coar became more of threat while Andy Whaites’ energy became more apparent in the midfield. Young and Coar both tested the


keeper before a superb run by Coar ended with his curling effort sliding just wide. He departed soon after and


Hurst Green immediately regained the lead when Tipton’s corner was met by a thumping header by Whaites. The goal was coming and, if


anything, Hurst Green looked the more likely to score again. Young arrowed a drive inches


above the goal before Whaites and Walker carved out a chance for Tipton but his finish was poor. But again Colne refused to give


in and levelled for the second time after a smash-and-grab raid down the right.


Lions go clear


Rolls-Royce.................................1 Clilheroe Lion s.......................... 2 CLITHEROE Lions returned to winning ways with an excellent vic­ tory away at Rolls-Royce - stretch- ing their lead at the top of the Craven and District League First Division to three points. It wasn’t all plain sailing as the


Lions made a sluggish start and could have been two down in as many minutes. Indeed it was the home team who


started the more lively putting good early pressure on full backs Fagan and Pickup. But it was the locals who took


the lead with a super through-ball by evergreen captain Jimmy Clegg which was chipped over the on- rushing Rolls-Royce goalkeeper by Holgate to put the Lions a goal up. This was the confidence boost


that was needed and minutes later the lead should have been doubled when Gaughan danced around three defenders on a run from his own half, only to send the ball crashing against the post with only the keeper to beat. In the second half the Lions


again started brightly with Avci and Callaghan testing the Rolls- Royce full-backs time and again with jinking runs, only the final cross into the box let them down. Five minutes into the second half


a beautifully measured free kick from unsung hero Paul Clegg was glanced In at the far post by Gaugh­ an, which made up for his earlier miss.


After two substitutions, though,


the home team came more into the game and started to create good chances. Lions full back Tim Moleio


cleared one off the line and current player-of-the-season Mashiter made some vital one-on-one saves to keep his team in the game. But with 10 minutes to go, the


home team managed a consolation goal which preceded a nervous finale for the Lions who managed to hold on tor a vital three points.


With the match moving in to


the closing stages, it looked like Colne would have their keeper to thank for a point as he beat away a cleanly struck volley from Walk­ er at the far post. But in virtually the last attack


of the match, Hurst Green stole the points. Ian Barton, who had only been


on the pitch a matter of minutes, flicked the ball on to Simpson and his inch-perfect pass released Walker who scored with a low drive in-off the post. After the game manager Andy


Holden praised his players for the positive attitude and was thankful for such a strong squad considering the unavailability of regulars Coupe, Bamber and Wilkinson and the long term injuries to Piper and Shaw. On Saturday Hurst Green are at home to Rock Rovers (2.15 p.m.).


Grind-ing out result


Grindleton.................................. 2 Pendle A lhlelic..........................1 GRINDLETON put on one of their best defensive displays of the season against high-flying Pendle Athletic to grab all the points in this Graven and District Football League First Division game. It was the visitors who came out


and set the pace in the first 20 min­ utes, putting Grindleton on to the back foot from the first whistle. While temporarily reduced to 10


men when the injured Rick Barrow was receiving treatment the visitors took the lead, stabbing home the opener to give Sean Lloyd in goal little chance. However, this seemed to give


Grindleton the wake up call they needed and began to put the Pendle side under some pressure. Within 10 minutes a blistering


run down the left wing by centre forward Scott Fielding took him to the bye-line where he squared the ball to Steve Walker who poked it home from two yards. Fielding then turned from


provider to scorer to put Grindleton deservedly in to the lead. The in-form Martin Cowey with


a determined run down the right, squared the ball to the striker who tapped In from close range. In the second half, the anticipat­


ed onslaught proved forthcoming, however the Grindleton back four of Dave Towler, Phil North, Bar- row and man-of-the-match Jamie Clarkson all stood firm, thwarting everything Pendle threw at them. In fact Grindleton could have


further extended their lead as cap­ tain Darren Barrow struck the crossbar from distance. And as the fog descended and


temperatures dropped, Grindleton became more dogged and deter­ mined to hold on to their lead, which midfielders Jimmy Towler and Martin Dobson epitomised with some fearsome challenges. Grindleton see league action


again at home to Cowling on Satur­ day (2 p.m.).


Hurst Green Reserves.............9 Peel Park Reserves....................2 NEALE Brown scored four goals as Hurst Green's second string annihilated Peel Park. The home side were in domi­


nant form, as they cantered to a 6- 1 lead at the break. Brown completed a perfect hat-


trick in the first halt along with strikes from Graeme McEwan, Zac Foley and Dan Wilkinson. The visitors put up a spirited


performance in the second half as the Green passively viewed the unfolding events. Brown hit his fourth, Wilkinson


a second and substitute Andy Simpson completed the rout. Special mention must go to the


new pairing of Vin Wilkinson and Pete Mallet in the centre of mid- field. The Reserves are away to Kel- brook in the league on Saturday.


WFC hit for six!


WFC Clilheroe............................3 Oxenhope.....................................S THE scoreline completely flattered Oxenhope. This game was completely in the


balance until five minutes form time when the away side grabbed two late goals. A fired up Waggon side matched


the league leaders throughout a fiery encounter, which saw five bookings and plenty of tough tack­ ing.


Oxenhope's first was a shot across


goal which was deflected into the net by Waggon defender Coulter on 10 minutes. But this lead was scrubbed out as


Waggon's terrier midfielder Danny Turner struck home from 12 yards. A deflected goal, which wrong­


footed keeper Hargreaves, gave the away side an undeserved lead at the break. The second half was all Waggon


but defensive errors gave the Oxen­ hope striker chances on goal. This 3-1 scoreline soon became 3-


2 midway through the half as Geoff Young nodded home a Stell corner. And as Waggon pushed forward


and played a lot of football in the opposition's halt, Oxenhope broke forward again and made it 4-2. Again the spirited Waggon side


went forward and again they pulled a goal back, this time through wide man Sullivan who latched on to a long ball. From the restart an almost iden­


tical through-ball, again to Sulli­ van, produced the same result only for a late flag to rule out the goal. This caused up-roar among the


Waggon fans, and this clearly got to the players as they collapsed for the last five minutes and shipped two goals much to the delight of the Oxenhope subs and management. Waggon would like to thank this


years kit sponsor Thouragoods Waterloo and the ball sponsor Tyremen.


Ring-rusty Rimington are held


Kelbrook..........................1 Rimington......................1 RIMINGTON played their first game since the first weekend in January - and how it showed. The Tangerines were cer­


tainly fitter than the home side and created enough chances to win three games never mind one. They played what man­


ager 'Terry Braithwaite described as "predictable football" with a distinct lack of vision, creativity and speed of thought, and it made it easier for Kelbrook than it should have been. Having said that, the vis­


itors should still have come away with all three points but Braithwaite is now more concerned about the Craven Cup quarter-final at Barnoldswick on February 17th.


"The cups are obviously


our priority now and we must all pull together if we are to have a chance of win­ ning one of them," said the Rimington boss. "The killer instinct we


showed last season is miss­ ing from our game at the moment and that worries me and we must get that back as soon as possible to


keep our season going." Rimington had several


chances to score early on Saturday but Penman, Coulter and O'Neill were all wayward or slow in their finishing. Kelbrook scored from


their only real chance and even then it had a slice of luck attached to it as an attempted cross was sliced and left Kershaw stranded as it crept inside his near post. Luck seemed to be


against Rimington as when they managed to hit the target, either the keeper or a defender scrambled the ball to safety. Coulter equalised on the


hour from close range but Kelbrook upped their game and had a couple of good chances which Kershaw denied. And in the last minute a


30-yard screamer from Terry Nelson thundered ^ onto the underside of the bar and bounced down for Dave Whalley to score, but F ' ' ) his tame effort was saved by ' the keeper.


^ On Saturday Rimington


are at home to Worsthorne (2-15 p.m.).


Title hopes fade


Waddinglon.....................0 Bronte Wanderers.......... 1 WADDINGTON’S hopes of winning the Craven and District Foortball League Premier Division were severely dented when they suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of their relegation battling visitors from Keighley. This was Waddington's


worst performance for the past two seasons. Despite fielding a much


weakened side, Waddington should have had enough quality to win easily, but due in the main to 50% of the team putting in below- par performances this was not to be. The writing was on the


wall after just five minutes when a determined visiting team started very brightly and forced Leach into mak­ ing an excellent reflex save. Following this early


scare, the home side began to get their game together and had two excellent chances to take the lead. ■The first tell to Martin


Caine who saw his fierce shot from 25 yards rebound off the crossbar, and the sec- ond chance fell to Sam Dean who had the simple task of lobbing the ball over the visiting keeper but


instead played the ball into the keeper's hands. These were Waddington's


last two chances. The home team lost Pete


Fletcher with a hamstring injury midway through the half, and with his loss the attacking options of the home team were severely limited. Despite some harsh


words from the manage­ ment team at the interval, the team failed to respond and it was down to Waddington's goalkeeper and his defenders to keep the visitors at bay. Midway through the sec­


ond half a Bronte player was allowed to run com­ pletely unchallenged through Waddington's mid- field area before unleashing a shot tha t looped over Leach into the net. After the game, and


clearly unhappy with the performance of some of his players, manager Jim Tier­ ney stated th a t several changes would be made for Waddington's next fixture which is at home to Conon- ley.


And players, who will be selected by phone call, are requested to be at the Waddington pavilion at 1 p.m.

Clilheroe Rogal Grammar School Under 13 Girls . . .1 Ormskirk School................................................................5 CLITHEROE Royal Grammar School progressed through to the Minute Maid Northern Schoois Cup - the largest 11- a-side schools' football tournament in Europe - despite los­ ing out to Ormskirk in the Lancashire qualifying finals. Ormskirk go through as champions, but CRGS pass


through as one of five wildcard runners-up nominated by the ESFA National Competitions Department. This regional tournament will feature the best 16 school


teams in the North - all with the ultimate goal of becoming the best schools’ football side in England. The teams will contest a knockout competition to


become Regional Champions, and in doing so gain the opportunity to qualify for the National Semi-Finals, and possibly even the National Finals. The game against Ormskirk was a repeat of last year’s


qualifying final, but this time the West Lancashire school took advantage of the windy conditions and gained a first- half 3-0 lead. This was in stark contrast to last season’s final, which


Clitheroe won by a single strike. The locals fought back with a goal from Helen Conlon in


the second half, but Ormskirk scored twice more to run out 5-1 winners. The girls are pictured, (s)

Performance same as gloomy weather


Clilheroe RUFC............ 0 Garslang.........................21 THE weather matched the mood precisely last Satur­ day; starting off in crisp bright clear sunshine, but by the time the teams had headed for the locker rooms,


•a dark, dank depressing mist had enveloped Littlemoor. An unscheduled and


unacceptably late cry off forced an 11th hour reshuffle for the home team back line. Mike Dawson moved to


scrum half from the wing, dependable veteran utility back Brian Wood dropped into the wing berth, and on the opposite flank, young Rob Park returned. ■ The pack was the same


eight who performed so well the previous week. Club captain Ben Graves


remained a frustrated spec­ tator as his knee rehabilita­ tion continues, joining other former Clitheroe front row experts on the touchline. In sparkling sunshine, on


a firm pitch, the game got underway, but it soon became clear that Garstang are second in the league for a reason as Clitheroe spent most of the first half on the defensive. The visitors had a well bal-.


anced side, and although they had few stand out players, they were strong throughout and played with confidence of a winning team.


On the other hand,


Clitheroe have been strug­ gling for consistency in per­ sonnel, and the results have been reflecting this. The Littlemoor men kept


the line almost intact for most of the first half but conceded a try after a peri­ od of sustained pressure. The home team were still


confident of cranking it up a few gears and getting on the scoreboard. Garstang, of course,-had


other ideas. The second half got


worse and worse, as the gloorny mist descended, almost hiding the players from one side of the pitch to the other.


Perhaps the mist was an


omen drawing a discrete veil over proceedings, hid­ ing it away from prying eyes. As it was, somewhere in the rapidly developing pea-souper, the visitors scored two more converted tries and a penalty, whereas Clitheroe never really looked like troubling the


scorers. A curiously flat perform­


ance from the maroons, with maybe too many play­ ers under performing, whether it be carrying injuries or illnesses, or just having an off day, it is hard to say, but they can have no excuses or complaints about the result.

Wolves Under 11s...........IS Brierfield Celtic Blue ....0 WHILE the boys were, nat­ urally, delighted to claim three points from this game there was never really any doubt as to the outcome. The defence were never


really tested and central defender Jake Place claimed two goals in the first half. The scoring was opened


in the seventh minute when Daniel Mort beat the oppo­ sition keeper. A first half lead of eight


goals was .achieved by Mort, Kay, Place and Mak­ sim Petriaho. The visitors never let


their heads drop and, to their credit, continued to play throughout. 'They couldn't prevent a


glut of goals in the second half however as Wolves added a further 10. Barnes, Kay and Mort


scored regularly with Niko­ lai Petriaho and George Banks also contributing. In the end man-of-the-

match was awarded to Mort for his all round per­ formance and six-goal haul. The boys now look for­


ward to a sterner test as they meet Bacup Juniors in the cup. Wolves Under 10s Green.2 Rishlon United...............2 IN their first home match for two months. Wolves shared the spoils against a determined Rishton side. In an even first half, the


side managed to take their chances and were two goals up by half-time. But the second half was a


different story. A strong team performance and two goals from captain Nathan Mitchell left all to play for


in the final 10 minutes. And despite chances for


Tom Jackson, Jay Wardle- worth and Tom Reede, the score finished level. Again a solid team


response to rugged opposi­ tion, interspersed with some flowing passing and running off the ball. Danny Thompson was


man-of-the-match after a determined performance in midfield.


Whallev Juniors


Whalley Under 11s..........1 Darwen Rangers Eagles .0 WHALLEY continued their good season with a solid win. An early goal by Michael


Clegg and a second from ^ the head of Jack Ryden ^ from a long throw-in gave the side a healthy lead. The Eagles staged a


mini-comeback but were unable to score, before Whalley netted twice more through Connor Ripley and Liam Kinney. There were fine perform­


ances by the Whalley defence, with Liam Boyle voted man-of-the-match. Whalley Under 13s........ 5 Blackburn United..........1 GOALS from Graham Whitehead, Zack Hard­ man, Ben Ratcliffe, and Henry Farnell (2) saw the Under 13s to victory over Blackburn United. Man-of-the match goal­


keeper Nico Barron ensured the points went their way as he prevented a Blackburn onslaught. The shot stopper did just


enough to ensure the two goals netted by Farnell secured the result having witnessed the United thrice come from behind to level with the locals.
