CLITHEROE co-manager Neil Reynolds is out to “spoil the party” when the Blues travel to league leaders Skelmersdale United on Saturday. Tommy Lawson’s men are


ahead in a five-way tussle for the title, having played more games than their rivals. And Reynolds is well aware of


the damage his side can do to his predecessor’s charges: “I would be delighted with another 0-0, but I would be ecstatic if we

from all over the United Kingdom will be taking part, with the Ribble Val­ ley team are flying the flag for the district, Lancashire and the North West as a whole. The team will face four


fixtures in as many days against Luton, Vale of White Horse, Bridgwater and Mid Somerset.

“Skelmersdale will be looking


at the fixture, and our form of two defeats in 10, and thinking it won’t be easy, as will Curzon Ashton later this month. “There won’t be any under­


hand tactics from us, we’ll just go out and play 4-4-2 to win the game.” Reynolds added: “Skelmers­


dale have one of the best sur­ faces in the league, which will suit us fine. With David Hankin and Sarge, and Ryan Fisher and Gary Stopforth running from


midfield, we will be at our best.” Clitheroe follow this game


with a trip to Tony Hesketh’s Chorley on Tuesday night, and Reynolds added: “I ’ve seen Chorley and they’ve signed a lot of big, physical players. “We’ll be fancied to win it, but


that doesn’t mean anything in a local derby. “Pete and I know Tony well


and he’s got stuck in at Chorley. They’re’going to be a good, strong side next season but we’re going there to win on Tuesday” Meanwhile, Reynolds had praise for goalscorer Craig


Sargeson after the 1-1 draw against Radcliffe Borough: “I’m pleased to have Craig back, and that’s three goals in five games. On another day it could have been more.” Danny Toronczak has


returned to training after his wife gave birth to a baby boy earlier in the week, and Jonathan Smith should be fit for Saturday, despite going off against Radcliffe Borough with a muscle spasm in his back. However, he s its out a one- match ban against Chorley.
