Goodsliaw United........0 [hirst Green..................3


HURST Green moved to within a win of regaining the East Lancashire League title with a hat-trick from Alan Coar. Manager Andy Holden


made a couple of changes from the team that could only draw against the same side the previous week, Wilkinson coming in for Simpson, and leading scor­ er Mark Young having to deputise in goal for the


Rampant villagers


Grindleton....................ff Coirtinii......................... 2


RAMPANT Grindleton romped to all three points. The home side were three


goals up by half-time, and the result was never in doubt. Scott Fielding put the


villagers in front, heading home at the back post after a barnstorming run and


. cross from centre half Dar­ ren Jackson. And Fielding turned provider when he laid off a neat ball for man-of-the- match James Berry to fin­ ish with aplomb. He then deservedly


claimed a brace shortly before half-time with a thunderous strike that allowed the keeper no chance. Player-manager Lloyd


had little to say at half-time as the team were well on top, playing some good football on an unusually bobbly pitch. The second half contin­


If-


ued as the first half ended, with Grindleton in control, and with the first attack of the half they increased their lead as a quickly-taken throw in from Jamie Clark­ son allowed winger Martin Dobson to race to the bye­ line and finish from the tightest of angles. Fielding then had a gold­


en chance to claim his hat- trick, but blazed the over from close range. And with the home side


now cruising, a couple of substitutions were made that upset the balance and composure of the village side, and momentarily allowed the visitors tb net two goals. flowever, with 20 min­


utes of the game remaining, Grindleton put the game out of reach with two fur­ ther goals. Dobson claimed the sec­


ond brace of tbe game with a carbon copy of his first strike to make it five, and Martin Cowey wrapped things up with a neat finish. And with only five games


of the season remaining, and still an outside chance of promotion, Grindleton need to carry on where they left off with two games in quick succession against Rolls-Royce tonight and Keighley on Saturday.


injured Steve Young. Hurst Green started very


brightly, with Wilkinson and Waites gaining control in the middle of the park, and it wasn’t too long before the Green’s front two started to threaten. Goar had an effort


cleared off the line, and Danny Walker was unlucky not to score as the keeper made an e.xcellent smoth­ ered save. Goodshaw’s only threat on the Green goal came


towards the end of the first half, as the locals only par­ tially cleared a corner, with the resulting shot just going wide. Hurst Green started to


tighten the screw into the second half, and were rewarded for their high tempo play when Coar grabbed his first of the game as he turned in a Walker cross. The Green’s second came


soon after from the head of Coar, following a great ball


from the impressive Dewhurst. Hurst Green started to


grind the game down, and any rare threat was easily snuffed out by tbe defence pairing of Walker and Coupe, with the young Taylor at right back bely­ ing his age by putting in a polished performance. Coar completed his hat-


trick with 10 minutes to go after Tipton chipped a delightful ball over the stat­ ic Goodshaw defence for

Coar to beat the keeper and slot into an empty goal. Walker was unlucky not


to add to the score as he fol­ lowed up a shot from Coar that was saved, but he could only smash his shot from a tight angle against the bar. Manager Holden was


delighted with his side’s performance, and Hurst Green now only require a win at home to Settle on Saturday (kick-off 2-15 p.m.) to clinch the title.


Itiniinuton.................... •/ iVorsthorne................... 2 A GOAL from keeper Gra­ ham Kershaw set Riming- ton on the way to a com­ fortable win. The locals dominated the


first half, attacking from all areas of the pitch, but only led 1-0 at the break. In goal, Kersbaw was


only tested from range, and was up to the test, while he opened the scoring a la Paul Robinson, as his huge kick downfield landed in the area, with the Worsthorne stopper misjudging the bounce and watching it sail into the net. However, Rimington squandered a number of


Graham’s goalden wonder Chipping edge home


first half openings, while defenders threw themselves at the ball to block goal- bound efforts, and the keep­ er atoned for his faux pas with some excellent saves. In the second half,


Worsthorne came more into the game, but this gave the locals space to break for­ ward in numbers, and Oliv­ er Maclean made it 2-0 with a thunderous shot through a crowd of players into the top corner. However, the visitors


pulled one back at the far post after Rimington failed to clear. Jon Penman created a


chance for himself, only for the keeper to block his shot.


but he had a hand in the third as he squared the ball, the defender mis-controlled it, and substitute David Whalley nipped in to calm­ ly slot home. Penman got the reward


for his efforts when he beat the off-side trap, rounded the keeper and finished well. Worsthorne grabbed a


consolation with the last kick of the match. Rimington will look to


keep their recent run going at home to Kelbrook on Saturday, before next week’s cup quarter-final at home to Langho. The club thank match sponsor Kate Hooper.


WFC win stormy fixture


Skipton [ji\IS.................0 WFC Clitheroe............. 3 WAGGON eased to victory in a stormy third-versus- fourth Craven League Pre­ mier Division fixture. Waggon adapted a new


formation, packing the mid- field, which was where the game was won. Any rare Skipton attack


was cleaned up by defensive stalwarts Bartlett and Oak­ ley, while the goals flooded in at the opposite end. Sullivan scored the locals’


first goal with a sweet strike from the edge of the box, and Geoff Young bagged the second a minute later when he controlled a long


ball forward with his chest and turned to roll the ball into the net from 10 yards. This was reward for the


hard work of Young and Matt Coulter, who chased many a long ball and lost cause throughout the after­ noon in order to put the defenders under pressure. WFC were slow to start


in the second half as Skip- ton had their best opportu­ nities to score, but Gaskell and the WFC defence held firm. Coulter had a great


penalty shout turned down before the move of the match, involving him and Sullivan on the right wing.


Killer touch is missing Waddington..................0


liradtey..........................■/ MISSING six regulars, the locals still created enough chances to win the game, but profligate finishing cost them dear. The opening 15 minutes


were even, but within two minutes, Bradley went in front from the spot. The villagers thought


they had equalised soon after, only to see the effort disallowed for off-side. And on the half hour,


Bradley doubled their lead with a suspiciously off-side looking strike. After the break,


Waddington put Bradley under sustained pressure, but were unable to apply


the killer touch, and the visitors went further ahead 20 minutes from time when Wayne Leach allowed a speculative shot to slip through his hands. Waddington threw bod­


ies forward to try and sal­ vage something from the game, but Bradley added a fourth with five minutes to go.


Despite conceding four


goals, the effort and com­ mitment could not be faulted, and the locals will hope to be improve in front of goal. Waddington are next in


action on Tuesday at home to Gargrave (kick-off 6-30 p.m.). All players will be contacted by telephone.


was banged home by Stod- dart at the far post. The game was all but


done as a contest, and things turned nasty as a horrific tackle from behind on Sullivan resulted in the first of a number of yellow cards, and there was a stamp on WFC’s Brown, which caused up-roar amongst the visiting side. In all, a hard-fought


game resulted in WFC bringing the points back to Clitheroe, which also sets up what could be an x-rated semi-final cup clash between the two teams in three weeks’ time.


Griffin's Head............. 2 Dog fn n .........................0 DOG Inn’s hopes of lifting the Terry Cattermole Tro­ phy ended with this semi­ final defeat to defending champions Griffin’s Head. Two cruel individual


slips, 10 minutes either side of half-time, proved fatal for Dog, and the Whalley side were unable to seriously threaten a comeback. Grateful to the support­


ers who turned out in force to cheer on his side. Dog manager Simon Kerins was disappointed that, for the third time in six sea­ sons, his team's cup chal­ lenge had ended a t the hands of Griffin’s Head.


play football on a dreadful surface, but it became clear that they would have to alter their fluent passing style to win the game. The teams went into half­


time level at 0-0, with both goalkeepers enjoying a quiet afternoon. The second half contin­


ued in the same vein, but the spectators were treated to three goals right out of the top drawer. The first was scored by


the villagers through flying winger Phil Peck. Steve Proctor picked the


ball up on the right and picked out the bursting run of Peck, who produced the deftest of finishes. Ghipping extended their


lead through a moment of brilliance from midfield dynamo Chris Leighton, after Chipping won a free kick 25 yards from goal. Leighton stepped up to


the ball and unleashed an unstoppable effort that would still be travelling had the net not been there. Chipping looked to have


the game sealed following these two classy efforts, but they were made to sweat as Leyland pulled a goal back with an equally fine free kick. After the striker was


taken down, the visiting defender lifted the free kick over the wall and into the net off the underside of the bar.


However, this goal was to


prove just a consolation as the Chipping back four repelled late Leyland pres­ sure to see the villagers home 2-1. Chipping continue their


superb post-Christmas run which has seen them take maximum points from their five league games. They will be looking to


extend this run as they travel to league leaders Hal- sall on Saturday, looking to close the gap further at the top.

the home side forced excel­ lent saves from the Darwen keeper, and it wasn’t until late in the second half that a fantastic run from man- of-the-match James Blow resulted in an excellent fin­ ish from Edward Yates to give Langho victory.

named man-of-the-match. Readstone Utd Under 14s Girls .............................. 1 Penwortham Girls......... 4 THE scoreline in this game flattered Penwortham as Readstone created several goal scoring chances. Niamh McCarthy scored


the side's only goal and Sophie Hindle was named payer-of-the-match. Readstone Utd Under 15s2 Wilpshire Wanderers___1 READSTONE progressed to the cup final after a thrilling victory. Goals came from Thomas

Whalley Under 14 s........5 Dar\ven Rangers Eagles .0 WHALLEY eased their way into the cup semi­ finals. From the start, Whalley


were on top and opened up the Eagles defence regular­ ly, but poor finishing meant it took them almost 20 min­ utes to open the scoring through Connor Ripley. Michael Clegg increased


the lead soon after, and by half-time Whalley led 4-0, as Sam Jennings and Ripley increased the lead.


much the same, with Whal­ ley pushing forward, and with man-of-the-match Joe Bentley marauding down the left wing they .created numerous chances that went begging. They did, however, increase their lead through Bentley, but this was the end of the scoring. Rossendale United......... 4 Whalley Under 13 s ........4 WHALLEY had to score four goals to secure a point in their last final game. The locals started strong


and created most of the opening chances, but it was­ n’t until the 15th minute when Travis burst through to score the opening goal. Rossendale hit back with


an equaliser, but winger Ben Ratcliffe ensured a


, half-time lead for Whalley. The second half saw


Whalley off to a great start when Henry Farnell pounced to grab his first of two, after the United keeper parried a fine shot. Rossendale were forced


into action, and soon found themselves level after a cou­ ple of one on ones with Whalley keeper Nico Baron went the home side’s way. Whalley were not to suc­


cumb, though, and a strike from Farnell restored the advantage,


before


Rqssendale came back again and equalised with five minutes to go.

Ighten Leigh...................1 Wolves Under 10 Green .11 WOLVES overwhelmed Ighten Leigh with a great all-round performance. The Clitheroe side start­


ed at great pace and the contest was all but over within five minutes of kick­ off thanks to a Jay Wardle- worth hat-trick and a well- taken Tom Jackson strike. Wolves maintained pres­


sure and further goals from Tom Davies, Sam Jones, Neil Sharma and man-of- the-match Nathan Mitchell saw the score soar. Danny Thompson netted


a further two and many more opportunities from open play and set pieces were narrowly missed Dogged determination


rewarded a late consolation goal to Ighten Leigh, who kept their heads up until the final whistle. Briercliffe Rovers.......... 4 Wolves Under 14s

without three first team regulars, they controlled the first half while playing with @ the wind, but failed to seri- ously threaten the opposi­ tion goal. And the second half

proved an entirely different affair, as the tables turned and Briercliffe scored with an early, scrappy goal.


Three more goals fol-

ckp ol in the second half, and eager to score another


The home side repeatedly


cleared the ball from the D, only to see Clitheroe pick it up and hit it straight back, and eventually Fran Griffiths neat­ ly slotted the ball home to give Clitheroe their second goal. Relaxed and confident at


two goals up, Clitheroe strung together some fantastic passes and grabbed a third thanks to Helen Hutchinson, before Grif­ fiths scored the fourth and final goal to put the game well and truely beyond Blackpool’s reach. Players-of-the-match were


Andrea Guthrie and Alison Heaton.
