THE long awaited re-match between top two tennis teams Clitheroe and Burnley A took place on Saturday and the Chat- burn Road side served-up a nar­ row but potentially vital victory. Stars of the day were Tony


r


Bush and Phil Mileham, with Bush in particularly fine form with probably his best perform­ ance for the team. Against the strong second pair­


ing they always had too much finesse and managed to take the initiative at the net throughout for a 6-3,6-4 win. Derek Parrott and Roger Raven-


scroft took on the top Burnley duo and started in convincing fashion although games went with serve. However, Burnley got a vital


break in the ninth game and held on to take the set 6-4. The second set appeared to be slipping away but Clitheroe began to click and managed to reach a tie break, but in a close encounter they eventual­ ly succumbed 7-6. Bush and Mileham then took on

WHALLEY Tennis Club's A team met top-of-the-table Blackburn Northern A on Saturday. Andrew Moore and Henry Farrer were unlucky to lose to the visiting


number one pair in two close sets but some justice was done when they scored a 6-2,6-1 win over the number two pairing. Whalley’s second partnership of Tom Ormerod and John Lethard also


had chances against both pairings but lost in each rubber in two close sets.


On Sunday the club is holding its annual open day, starting at 11 a.m., everyone is cordially invited to attend. Racquets and tennis equipment will be available for demonstration


along with short tennis for children who are new to the game and refresh­ ments. After watching Wimbledon for the last fortnight, why not go down to Station Road and try and emulate Roger Federer!


the top pair and shocked them by taking the first set 6-3. Although they eventually lost the rubber with two further 3-6, 3-6 sets, that first set proved critical in winning the match on countback. However, that still depended on


Parrott and Ravenscroft winning their match, which looked far from certain as they inexplicably lost the first set 6-3.


The pair then began to find


their feet, Ravenscroft found moti­ vation in an unusual manner by accidentally giving himself a black eye with an ill advised smack in the face with his own racket 1 They then went on to win the


last two sets 6-3, 6-3 which ensured that, on games count- back, Clitheroe won the match 3- 2.

THREE early birdies gave Mark Ashworth a healthy lead in the Scratch Matchplay Championship final at Clitheroe Golf Club. But he only clinched vic­


tory over Martin Cane with another birdie at the 17th. Cane simply refused to


capitulate in spite of Ash­ worth’s early birdie barrage and produced some impres­ sive shots to stay in the pic­ ture. But Ashworth had the


last say at the picturesque but notoriously difficult 17th to claim a 2 and 1 win and add the D.G. Joss Shield to his already impressive collection of tro­ phies. The Peter Geddes Memo­


rial Trophy on Saturday went to David McKenzie with a solid, rather than spectacular, round that was good enough to take the honours. Tom Poole finished with


a bogey six and that cost him second place after a card play-off with Philip Hanson after both returned nett 70s. Bill Wood came out of


the woodwork to shoot an impressive 71 for fourth while captain elect Andrew Walmsley got the better of a three-way card play-off with Gary Thompson and Nigel Schofield to take fifth. Alf England’s poor back nine left him just off the leaderboard and Phil Leaver took the gross prize. The Fourball on Sunday


was a triumph for the reserved Brian Edmondson and playing partner Roger Cowey as Ashworth and Paul Connolly had to settle for runners-up spot with 43 points. The experienced duo of


Richard Read and John Wetton returned a cred­ itable 42 points but lost out for third place after cards with Alex Taylor and Michael Heaps. Mytton Fold golfers were


washed out for the second successive weekend. But following the washout the previous week­ end, members of Whalley

Golf Club returned to com­ petitive golf on Saturday, competing in the Len Row- bottom Trophy. Roger Armitage's 37


points proved good enough to take the winner’s spot after a card play-off with Ken Bythell who had to be content with first place in Division Three. Club Secretary Stuart


Dawson lead the way in Division One with 36 points, closely followed by Mel Earle (35). Steve “Showboat” Shore­


man, with 35 points, head­ ed Division Two after a card play-off with Stewart Herd and Eric Lord (34) claimed second place in Division Three. The ELGA mixed four­


somes qualifier at Stony­ hurst saw Andrew and Car­ olyn Blocked score a nar­ row victory. Their 82-10-72 just edged


out Derreck Bramwell and Margaret Duckett (97-24- 73). The Stonyhurst team will also feature John and Sue Kirk (95-20-75). Graham Monk looks to


be heading for a significant handicap reduction after carding 88-26-62 to win the 20-28 division of the monthly medal. The 0-19 category was won by Steve Burton (87-


' 19-68). Whalley members Anne


Pollard, Rosemary Grime and Jane Boxall were joined by guest Catherine Sten- house to amass 98 points and win the club’s Ladies’ Open Team event. Whalley’s Bridget Rees,


Lorna Slinger and Jean Tasker teamed-up with Burnley’s Gloria Varley to finish second on 95, four more than the total posted by Whalley’s Shirley Palich and Carole Blackadder and Accrington’s Anne Roboth- an and Anne McDermott. Very strong winds sent


the scores up in the LGU Medal at Stonyhurst. Janette Dowdy (103-27-


76) won by two shots from lady captain Sue Kirk (105- 27-78) who edged out both Janet Blain and Dorothy Harrison after card play­ offs.
