Barnoldswick................3 Wolves Under 11s........5


IN their first-ever nine-a­ side match, Wolves start-. ed the season in cracking form in this North Valley Youth League game. A goal in either half by


Nathan Mitchell, and fur­ ther strikes by man-of- the-match Tom Jackson, Tom Reede and Sam Jones saw the locals apply pressure, as the whole side had chances. And Jay Hibble pulled


off some heroic saves in the Wolves goal to ensure the win. Wolves Under 7s . . . .5 Great Harwood RoversO TWO goa ls

for the villagers as Wolves took the lead after only a few minutes, and for the f ir s t part o f the half, Whalley looked lacklustre and a little uncertain. But as the half went on,

ih Hamers take first prize in exchange day


CLITHEROE GC’s exchange away day with West Lancashire Golf Club proved to be a suc­ cessful ev en t for the Hamer family. Chris and Paul teamed up


with all-round sportsman Mark Jones to take first prize in the three-man team event. I t was a close call however,


v for second spot. The consistent Peter Harri­


son, Archie Moro and Brian Stokes combination were two shots off the pace in third, with a one shot margin over fourth placed Wayne Townley, Mike Ainsworth and John Hacking. Tim S tan ley and Ralph

in the Seniors Monthly Medal when he and John Lang threat­ ened to share the spoils with 35 points, but Ian Black had other ideas. Ian hit a purple patch and 39


points to take first prize with a four-shot margin.

firmed his quality with a 74 to take the gross prize.


The Ladies’ Medal was


played in dreadfully wet condi­ tions on Sunday, with only the hardy completing the course. The winner of the Silver


Division was Deborah Catlow (96-16-80), ahead of runner-up Sheila Cornwell (94-1282). And the winner of the Bronze


D iv is ion was Maureen Cox (104-27-77) as she beat Carole Brown (108-27-81) in to second and Vicky Edmondson (114-27- 87) in to third. This followed Thursday’s Lis­


ter Cup stroke play competition that saw junior captain Sarah Hale finish level against par for first spot. Pat Murray was second and


Tracey Bentley third as both finished one down. Duncan Rogers and Paul


Earnshaw have a real affinity for pairs golf, and th is was amply demonstrated as they won the International Pairs competition at Mytton Fpld


GC for the second time in three years. The pair now represent Myt­


ton Fold in the UK Finals in Scotland, with the top pairings at that event qualifying for the World Final, televised by Sky. Certainly, if they play as well


as they did on Saturday, where a sparkling 25-point back nine helped the pair to a competi­ tion-winning 46 points, they


should have a real chance of progressing.


...... Despite the excellent score, it


only secured the event by a sin­ gle point from the red-hot form of Chris Chadwick and Keith Gill on 45 points, with John Whittaker and Ian Thomson taking third place on 44 points. Shirley Palich and Carole


Blackadder of Whalley teamed up with Accrington pair Ann


• Robathon and Ann McDer­ mott to win the Autumn Invita­ tion at Whalley with 39 points. Runners-up, on the same


score, were Ann Pollard and Rosemary Grime of Whalley, Mary Martin of Wilpshire and Burnley’s Catherine Rigg. The lad ie s ’ se ction medal


played at Stony hurst College on Monday was won by Carolyn Blockeel (95-15-80), to add to the Shireburn Trophy she scooped earlier in the month. On what proved a windy ana


chilly day, second place was taken by Val Fairless (117-36- 81) ahead of Linda Ashworth (94-12-82) in third.


mation, and it worked a treat. Keighley fed Danny Paton, who turned cleverly past his marker before racing into the box and lift- ing the ball over the keeper. ; And when a short.corner was


whipped in, Alan Sayle rose to thunder home a header. Within minutes, Jori Penman


curled a free kick past the keeper ’ to make it 3-1 at half-time. Paton put the game beyond


doubt as he broke the off-side trap and sped away from the trailing defenders before rounding the keeper and slotting home. Riminglon Reserves......................3 Colne Uld Reserves..........................3 LAST year’s top two East Lan­ cashire League Reserve Division sides fought out a thriller. But Rimington must look back


on this result as another two points dropped. Against the run of play, Colne


took the lead as left back James Hartlebury lost the ball on the touchline, and the resulting cross led to an unmarked striker slot­ ting home. The woodwork and the Colne


keeper continued to frustrate the locals, before the Pendle side dou­ bled their lead with 10 minutes of the half to go. Rimington were stunned at the


break, but came out flying in the second half. Liam Carter squared for Chris


.


Brown to slot home from four yards, before Gary Brunskill bat­ tled well in the box to level. Rimington took the lead with


10 minutes to'go when the Colne defence failed to deal with a ball in the box, and goal poacher Brunskill stole in to net.

HURST Green strolled through to the second round of the Lan­ cashire Amateur Cup. They took an early lead as Andy Waites crossed for Peter


Fletcher to nod home. Green made it two on the quar­


ter hour as Tom Bamber floated in a lovely ball for Danny Walker to stroke home on the volley. Fletcher grabbed his second as


he latched onto a defensive mis­ take and superbly chipped the 'keeper from 20 yards, and Walker also hit his second minutes later, firing in from close range. After the break, Nicki Wilkin­


son scored his first goal of the sea­ son with a glancing header from a Mark Young corner. Wilkinson then notched his sec­


ond of the game, volleying home following a goalmouth scramble. Green, with the game in no


doubt, rung the changes, but the goals kept on coming. Fletcher scored again to earn

his hat-trick, and Walker too cashed in on poor defending as he got his third, turning well and fir­ ing home from the edge of the box. The only blot on Green's copy­


book was conceding a couple of minutes from time, Addicott beaten by a 25 yard drive. Green now face Leigh Phoenix

Settle under sustained pressure, but against the run of play, Settle equalised, before going 2-1 ahead. After the break, Waddington


equalised as Eddie Snowden lobbed the keeper from 20 yards. ■ Settle then controlled a 10-


minute spell, as the defensive partnership of Dugdale and Wal­ lis valiantly protected the Waddington goa,l and keeper Wayne Leech pulled of a wonder


save from a close range shot. ' However, in the final 10 min­


utes of normal time, Settle broke away and made it 3-2, before a

Chipping.....................................................7 Top Spinners............................................ft CHIPPING returned to winning ways on Saturday with a seven- goal demolition of Top Spinners as the villagers returned to the top of the table. It was 20 minutes before they


found the breakthrough, as Mark Fordham showed good control before rifling home in one move­ ment. That was the only goal of the first half, but after the break, new


signing Ben Rice created a second for Fordham; who found the deftest of finishes to beat the onrushing goalkeeper. Fordham completed his hat-


trick shortly after with another good finish, his seventh goal already this season. Man-of-the-match Rice then


crafted the fourth goal for Mick Garth with an inch-perfect cross, which was met by an unstoppable header. The returning Chris Leighton


came off the bench to score with a penalty, before Top Spinners began to add some pressure of their own. A dubious penalty was award­


ed to the visitors, but keeper Matt Ireland flew to his left to parry the ball clear. Rice capped his stylish per­


formance with a brace of his own, first, cutting in from the right and unleashing an unstoppable drive past the despairing keeper, before finishing well from Ryan McMur- ray’s slide rule pass. Saturday sees Farrington Villa

The locals rose above adversity


to gain a share of the spoils, as with six influential players injured or carrying injuries, they were down to their bare bones and played 35 minutes of the game with 10 men. Nevertheless, the Lions started


the game in confident fashion straight off the back of their 6-0 thrashing of Embsay. At the back, the makeshift


defence of Peel, Bank, Avci and Punchard worked tirelessly all afternoon, winning any ariel bat­ tles and putting in some superb last-ditch challenges. Disaster then struck early in


the first half as Punchard went down with a dislocated shoulder after a brave tackle, and had to be carried off. Without any extra players, the.


Lions were up against it, but still managed to take the lead against the run of play when Pinard ran onto a throughball by the excel­ lent Michael Walsh and coolly slotted home from a narrow angle. In the second half, the Lions


created more chances, mainly through the lively pairing of Walsh and Gaughan, and looked by far the better of the two teams, but for that killer finish. Oxenhope nearly drew level


when a thunderbolt bound for the top comer was brilliantly pushed away by man-of-the-match Mashiter. Another fine display by Gaugh­


an was very nearly capped with a headed goal, but the ball fizzed narrowly wide. The home side continued to


dominate midfield, James Clegg in particular making countless interceptions and Walsh supply­ ing some superb throughballs. • But with eight minutes to go,


victory was snatched from the Lions grasp with a headed equaliser. Even though victory was near­


ly theirs, the Lions will be happy with.this result - their hard work in difficult circumstances showing the passion and commitment the players have for their club. Pendle Forest............................................0 Chalburn......................................................4 CIIATBURN came away with a deserved win from their fifth away game in a row. A first half of few chances saw


Forest pushed backed by the slop­ ing pitch and a blustery wind, but Chatburn held strong and created chances through good work by Chris Scott. The second half saw Chatburn


use the conditions much to their advantage, with Dale Caldwell putting Thomas Parker through to open the scoring. Then Scott avoided all Forest


challenges from the halfway line to add a second following a mis­ take from the keeper. Matthew Musgrove came off


the bench to add a late brace as Chatburn imposed themselves on Forest, who had no answer.
