Rovers next up in Blues summer programme
By Adrian Capstick
SHAWBRIDGE welcomes a Blackburn Rovers representa tive team on Saturday for Clitheroe's second pre-season friendly. Glyn Hodges' Pontins League side
are the visitors with the possibility of a few of Ewood Park's summer signings also making an appearance. Clitheroe are in good shape
according to chairman Carl Garner and co-manager Neil Reynolds with 25 players in training, but just like last night's friendly against Accring ton Stanley, Paul Stansfield and John Gayner will be absent with niggling injuries. Gary Jackson is back, though,
and he has been joined this week by a Nigerian winger who has taken the club by surprise. The Preston-based midfielder fea
tured at Kendal in pre-season last year but didn't play again. He has so far impressed, was
named in the 18-man squad against Stanley and is expected to face Rovers and then Blue Square North (formerly Conference North) side Barrow on Tuesday. Reynolds said: I ’m pleased with
the way the lads have kept them selves fit and i t ’s been nice to go away and have 16 to 17 lads come back the following season. “Morale will play a big factor, add
in five or six new players, and we’ve a really closely knit side which counts for a lot.” Meanwhile, earlier this week the
UniBond First Division North fix tures were announced with Clitheroe drawn away at Woodley
Sports on the opening day. The club have successfully been
drawn twice at home against FC United, which means money in the bank, and derby games against Rossendale United on Boxing Day and New Year's Day makes for a travel-free festive holiday. Garner is excited about the open
ing few games but he admits the logistics of playing their first game on a plastic pitch isn't ideal. He said: "Woodley away is a
tough game to start but I'm sure Neil (Reynolds) and Pete (Smith) will be well prepared after pre-sea son.
"We're hopeful of a good start as
we want to make an impact on the league this season. I've discussed things with Pete and Neil and we're looking for some sort of consistency to take the club into the top eight.
"I'm quite excited, there are plen
ty of home games to s ta r t with, including the FA Cup and Trophy, to put us in a good strong position. "And we've sold 40 season tickets,
which is a pleasing figure and a good foundation to build on." He added: "Rovers on Saturday
will be a testing game but Barrow on Tuesday will be a better mark of how far we’ve come as they've made some fantastic signings in the close season. It's a different fixture but no more attractive and it is Barrow's first friendly too." Saturday's game against Black
burn Rovers has a 2 p.m. kick-off, admission is £5 with £3 concessions. The same prices apply to Tuesday
night's game against Barrow who last played Clitheroe in the FA Tro phy two seasons ago (kick-off 7-30 p.m.).

Cobras’ special guest
LANCASHIRE bowler and “Thunderbolts” President Sajid Mahmood will make a special appearance at Clitheroe Cricket Club tonight. Currently recovering from surgery, Sajid will be at Chat-
burn Road to promote Lancashire’s “CashBack” reward scheme which gives local clubs and schools the opportunity to get 50% CashBack on every ticket purchased for Lan cashire Lightning fixtures. Lancashire CCC wants to encourage more juniors to
experience the excitement of live cricket, while generating extra revenue for their local club, school and organisation to reinvest into facilities. Farouk Hussain, chairman of Clitheroe Cobras, said:
“We are delighted to be involved in the CashBack Scheme. It has given our ever-increasing junior section and their parents the chance to view exciting cricket at affordable prices and at the same time help raise much needed funds for the club. “The funds raised by participating in the CashBack
Scheme were put towards providing three additional syn thetic surfaces for the Cobras. He added: "We currently entertain over 180 children
under the age of 11. These additional facilities have helped to improve the quality of coaching that they receive and further underline our commitment to creating an all inclu sive club with the best facilities to match that." During the evening, Mahmood will be on hand to give
expert advice to Clitheroe Cobras members who will be involved in their weekly training session.
Crusaders in town
WHALLEY Cricket Club was awash with water at the weekend as the Ribble Valley side’s league game at home to Great Harwood was abandoned without play. So Martin Davies’ men will be hopeful of some sun this
week as they undertake not one but three home fixtures, starting tomorrow night w'hen they welcome the return of The Crusaders to Station Road. The Australian tourists are due to play a Twenty20
match against a Whalley Select XI and the Aussies will be out to avenge the defeat they suffered last time they visited in 2005. The match starts at 5-15 p.m. and promises to be an
exciting affair. Admission will be by ticket and will be free for children under 12, £2 for members and £4 for non-mem bers. In addition, Northcote Offsite will be running a barbe
session.
cue from 5 p.m., price £4. Tickets for entry and for the bar becue are available from the clubhouse and all committee members. Because of this match, there will be no junior training
Whalley are then in league action against Earby on Sat
urday before attempting to finally get their Ramsbottom Cup quarter-final fixture with Padiham underway on Sun day. Other weekend action sees Clitheroe at home to Read
and Ribblesdale Wanderers travel to Blackburn Northern. All games start at 1-30 p.m.
