Three defeats, but still all to play for!


CLITHEROE look to bounce


- back from three successive defeats at home to Warrington Town on


Saturday. . . Neil Reynolds’ men have shipped 12 goak in that time, see-' ing a run of seven-successive


■league wins halted at P c Halifax ■ ■•Town. ■ ■


■■ ■'■- ■ That was followed by the PA


Carlsberg Trophy exit against Boston United^ on Saturday, and


•Tuesday’s dismal UniBond League Challenge Cup defeat against Garforth Town.


• , However, the picture remains


rosy in the league, and with only one cup competition remaining to distract them - the LPa United Co-operative Challenge Trophy, with a trip to Rossendale United


. on Tuesday - they will look to press home their promotion cre­ dentials.


':• Clitheroe’s cup exploits have • seen them lose ground, in terms of games played, in the league,.but even after the setback at The Shay, the Blues, in sixth, are only , six points behind leaders Ossett Albion, with five games in hand. They will know, despite War­


rington’s lowly position, that they f are in for a test on Saturday, if the ■ recent meeting at Shawbridge is any thing to go by. ' -r . . ^

.Garforth Town • t . . . . . . . . .4 CLITHEROE’S UniBond League Challenge Cup interests for this . season were ended in abrupt style on Tuesday evening., . Four Garforth goals in 23 first


half minutes saw .them spectacu- larlycrashout.;-.:-


. .And the result not only made it


■ three defeats in succession for the Blues, but four goals conceded in- each of those three outings. ■ '. •After a 4-0 league reversal at


FC Halifax Town, arid Saturday’s 4-2 PA Carlsberg Trophy loss to Boston United, the Blues made^


• numerous changes to their start­ ing line-up..


: • V But it only contributed to a per­


formance that Glitheroe support-' ers have been less than used to this season, and even brought back memories of their dismal opening


■ day 2-0 defeat at home to Mossley. Joint manager Neil Reynolds


gave himself his first start of the season in the heart of midfield, alongside debutant Steve Maden, - brought to Shawbridge from


Ramsbottom United. :■ ■ .


■And Clitheroe even had the lead in this one just five minutes in, as


- Craig Sargespn converted his spot kick after Carl Lomax was hauled down following Scott Redhead’s neat pass. But the lead didn’t last long, as


after the linesman had overruled • the referee in awarding Garforth a ■ corner, Oliver Hotchkiss’-flag kick was headed' in by Brett Rerishaw. • ’ Renshaw then sent an attempt-


• ed lob just widPi and also brought ■


a good save from the .recalled James Mannwith a header from ‘ Dominique Blair’s cross. .:■ ' But they grabbed the lead when ::


Hotchkiss crashed a superb'shot past Mann, and it; was to get steadily'worse for Glitheroe. ,- Blair made it 3-,l when he stole' in behind the home defence to turn;
