Blues put in the graft in search for success


By Chris Boden


CLITHEROE are packing their buckets and spades tonight for a training trip to Blackpool. But it isn’t going to be all fun


and games on the coast, as the Blues step up their preparations ahead of their first friendly, at home to Northwich Victoria on Wednesday (kick-off 7-30 p.m.). Joint boss Neil Reynolds has


been delighted vvith the attitude of his players after returning to the hard graft of pre-season last


■


Thursday. '* : ' / '■• And he is varying their training


rvith some iimovative methods, as he explained: ‘‘We took the lads up the castle steps in Clitheroe, and tonight we are off to the sand dunes in Blackpool for some more . hardwork. “But i t’s not all running. I ’ve


been whipped up and down hills in training, but we try and incorpo­ rate the footballs as early as possi­ ble, because it can be a bit soul destroying otherwise; , “I wouldn’t be much of a coach


if I just sent them for' a run, there is a lotbf ball work, although that rvill be hard graft as well.”

'A whopping 62 players reported to Shawbridge for the first session ■


’


last week, and, as Reynolds noted: “A lot came down on the back of the appeal in the Advertiser.” ■And the task.now is to sift


through that batch of talent to a . more manageable number: “We had 22/23 first team players back, and 40 others down with the reserves, and we had a hard ses­ sion. “Because of numbers, we will


have to whittle that 40 down to 25 or so, so we had a trial game on ’Tuesday, with another tonight. “But I.was thrilled with the


turnout, and although it was a bit chaotic at first, when we were up and running, we all trained togeth- er as a team.


; ‘ 1 , , “We had lads down with North"


West Counties experience, and some talented lads from the Rib- ble Valley, so there was a great blend.’’ , Reynolds’ players have kep t. themselves ticking over nicely;


•ahead of the forthcoming cam­ paign, and he praised their dedica-


• tion: “The lads are looking good, and their fitness levels are excep­ tional;


- “We came in on Saturday to do


bleep tests, and we will do that again in four weeks, but I was chuffed with all of them. ■ “A couple of them had injuries


or have had a break over the sum­ mer, but as a whole they are all at agoodlevel.” And the search for players for


now and the future continues, after Reynolds helped set up a mutually beneficial link-up with St Mary’s College in Blackburn. The college are to s ta r t an.


Academy in September, and will use Shawbridge for a number of games, while'Clitheroe get the chance to run the rule over play­ ers.


Reynolds said: “There are


already four or five players who have caught our eye, and a couple in 12 months could come through to the first team squad.- “If we only get one signing out


of it, it’s of benefit - that one play­ er could just be a gem and raise the club some money, or just do well for the first team. “We have to,explore these'


avenues, and we thank St Mary’s for their co-operatioii.” In the meantime, Reynolds


turns his attentions towards Northwich, and the return of for­
