MAN-of-the-match Lloyd Standen hit a hat-trick as Readstone reached the semi-final of the League Cup with a thrilling win over their derby rivals. In difficult conditions,
both teams played enter- taining football, with the score 4-4 after normal time, before United prevailed in extra time. Also on target tor Read
stone were Connor Stut- tard, who hit two, and Elliot Riley. • The Under 13s, who

HAVING not played for five weeks, Langho’s win ning run was extended to eight games with this com fortable win away to LCR After a solid start it was
just a matter of when and how many Langho, would score. The first goal - a simple
tap-in by Tom Riley - trig gered some excellent foot ball by the visitors. And goals in the second
half from Joel Phelps and a wallop of a shot from Sean
. . Holmes rewarded some great attacking play. • The only disappointment was th a t the side didn’t score more.

New Blues squad is taking shape
By Adrian Capstick
NEIL Reynolds and Pete Smith edged a step closer to cracking Clitheroe FC’s ouG field problems against Brad ford Park Avenue on Satur day - only to be served a goalkeeping conundrum ear lier this week. The league game was lost
3-1, but the Blues created twice as many attempts on goal as their visitors, and looked more like play-off contenders than the fourth bottom side they currently are.
Another stem test awaits
.them in Woodley Sports on Saturday at Shawbridge and the Blues’ management team know they’ll have to have a strong defence to cope with the athletic side - but who’ll keep goal is less clear cut. Up to Saturday Paul Hor-
ridge had been the Blues’ number one shot stopper, but a mystery hangs over his whereabouts as he hasn’t been in contact with the club in over a week. Accrington Stanley’s
Martin Fearon was called in as cover against Bradford

thanks to a working rela tionship with the Football League Club, but as he is under contract to Stanley he can only play when not needed by the League Two outfit. Reynolds had welcomed
on board Stuart Bingham, who trained with the side before Saturday’s game, but due to other commitments he is unable to take up the green jersey. So it is a case of watch this
space as Clitheroe actively seek out another keeper for Saturday. Reynolds said: “We can’t
get hold of Paul (Horridge) as he’s not answering his phone or been in touch, and Stuart Bingham, the keeper training with us on Satiuday has decided not to join up
with us for a number of rea sons. He’s done it the right way by telling us that he can’t commit at the moment.” So that means Clitheroe
are down to just one keeper, Martin Fearon, and he’s only available if Accrington' are injury free. Reynolds added: “We
only know after Stanley have trained on Thursday if Martin is available to us. It isn’t ideal but John Coleman has been very understanding towards us and we’re very grateful for their help as Martin has been excellent. “Pete and I are looking tu
add three more players before we have the squad we want. Kris Matthews is one of them when he’s back from injury at centre half, and the other two are a goalkeeper and another centre fonvard. “We’ve no further injuries
or suspensions to contend with in and we’re looking for ward.” Anthony Daniels is hope
fully the last player in what has been a long list of enforced absences as he sits out a one game ban against Woodley.
Reynolds admits he will
be missed, but he has faith in his squad filling the gap left by the versatile midfielder come full back. He said: “I t ’s a massive
blow but we’ve got about she players ready to come in on the sidelines and, as I said a few weeks ago, we want to build a squad at Clitheroe not just a team. We want equal quality throughout the side.” And that quality shone
through at times on Satur day and things look promis ing. “I was really pleased, as
to throw tour or five new players in at once and get that response was fantastic,” said the Blues boss. “Bradford’s manager said
afterwards that we could quite easily have been 2-0 up before they scored the first. It’s funny, you wouldn’t have known who was where in the league, us fourth from bot tom and them sbeth from the top, but that’s the UniBond league for you.” And so to the next chal
lenge of Woodley, whose high tempo game has caused many problems tor teams
this year, including UniBond Premier Division Hednes- ford Town who they beat 2- 1 in their last game. “They like to get fonvard
down the wings and into the channels. We’ll be looking at that in training. Bradford used pace tor their first goal, but that ^vas the first time the back four had played togeth er, and they did very well.”

P W D L P Paul lands an important new role By Edward Lee
CLITHEROE Golf Club professional Paul McEvoy is starting the new year with an important new role in the sport. Already reknowned for
the quality and range of stock he holds at the Clitheroe club, things are • now set to get even better for members of the club and the local golfing fraternity. For McEvoy has been
appointed a director of Tar tan Golf International in a move that puts him at the forefront of the biggest golf equipment buying group in the country. And if everything goes
according to plan, he will be aiming to help 'TGI grow even bigger and even break into the lucrative American market. A former assistant profes
sional at Clitheroe, McEvoy first teamed-up with T(5I when he became professional at Burnley five years ago. Since moving back to
Clitheroe two years ago, he has developed that link even further and is now looking forward to taking it
on to the next stage. He explained: “TGI is the-,
biggest buying group of PGA professionals in Europe and turns over around £50m. “They are always looking
to keep the business fresh, move it forward and improve it.
“They asked me towards
the end of last year if I would like to come on board as a director and for me it is a massive step forward.” McEvoy has created his
own fair share of sporting headlines over the years, but he earned a degree in business studies before
becoming a PGA profes sional and that clearly caught the collective eye at TGI. They operate a t more
than 400 outlets ranging from Royal Liverpool, scene of Tiger Woods’ 2006 Open Championship victory, through to other major resort clubs and prestigious clubs such as Clitheroe. The company itself is
about 25 years old and McEvoy is both the newest and youngest-ever director. ‘"The sheer scale of such a
large buying group means that TGI professionals can offer the very latest equip ment at the most competi tive prices. The service lev els I can offer are going to be even better than before and this appointment is not just good news for me and the Clitheroe club and its mem bers, it is also good news for all golfers in the area.”
