Benlham .....................1 Riminglon...................3 RIMINGTON pulled off their finest win of the season against North Lancashire First Division Bentham to reach the last four of the Craven Cup. Without keeper Ker­


shaw, centre back Martin Lawson had to deputise, and the back four pro­ tected him superbly. The locals sta rted


brightly and McLean opened the scoring in the sixth minute when he arrowed a fierce drive into the far corner from just inside the box. Rimington made sever­


al more chances, and O’Neill was twice denied by great saves, the second of which was from point- blank range after great work down the right from Mankowski. Jon Penman fired just


over, and was then brought down when through on goal, but the offender only received a yellow card, and the free kick was wasted. But the big centre for­


ward was not to be denied, and on the stroke of half-time he swivelled in the box and crashed a right-foot effort into the bottom comer. Bentham came more


into the game in the sec­ ond half, and Lawson did well to tip a fierce drive over. Danny Paton extended

Blackburn Eagles......... .............................................0 LANGHO remain unbeaten after this excellent win against their nearest rivals. An early goal from Soorya Siva was followed by


consistent pressure which led to an own goal. After that, Langho could not hit the net again


despite creating many chances. Tom Rigby was man-of-the-match.

READSTONE United Under 11s remain top of the table after a convincing 3-0 win against Haslingden Juniors. Readstone dominated the match and should


have won by a bigger margin. Goals were scored by Ben Bridson, Ryan Brere-


ton and man-of-the-match Andy Hedgar. The Under 10s weren’t as fortunate as they suc­


cumbed to a Pendle Forest side who eventually walked away 4-1 winners. Despite this, all the players deserve praise for


their efforts. Lewis Fisk put in a man-of-the-match performance, with Kyle Collinson scoring the goal. The Under 9s suffered a similar fate, despite a


very entertaining game against Barrowford Celtic White. They lost 7-3, despite a goal by Lewis Simp­ son and a brace from Josh Bailey.
