I from back page Jv ..And Reynolds is


enjoying the big occa­ sions:'" We’re playing big game after.big game at the moment, every game seems to be a cup final. --


“But this one is extra


special.'' “Two seasons ago


Boston were in the Football League, and featured on Soccer AM every week. ' ■ f , “'rheyrhad a-lot of


exposure through that; and my hero' Paul Gas­ coigne played there in 2005.'


“Now we’re playing-


them at Shawbridge, so it.will be a fantastic occasion. • •' , “It shows how far. we have come as a club that


,'Our last two games have been Halifax Town and Boston United, and we will be doing everything we can to be ready for Saturday.’’ ■


The setback at The


Shay was a first league defeat since the opening.; day, after seven succesr; sive wins, but Reynolds has written that off as one of those days: “It’s not a game that will affect us too much, you had; to be there to believe it;


' . "It was a debacle,


and I’m not taking any­ thing away from Hali­ fax, who are a very good side, but it was nowhere near a 4-0 game. ^ “It looks like a drub bing, and if it had been 1-0 or. 2-0, fair enough;’ but their.manager Jim Vince rang me to say


•not;to read too much into it, and that we were the best team they have, played so far.


,, “In'that respect;-we


can take a lot from itlw-; -“.We’ll put'it behind


.' U S , and we are still in a fantastic position in the league, three points off the top with four games in hand.”

, Resmolds is hoping to have Johnson (concus-; sion) available; while' 'Hankin and Chris Ward are expected to be fit for selection. .


' Paul Osborne could


be available after ham­ string trouble, but Fish­ er is definitely out, and; Flannery, (ankle) is struggling.' '

Sweet revenge for nine-goal Green!


Hurst Green...........9 Rock Rovers .. . .. . . . ; . . . .0


;


GREEN exacted revenge for a ter­ rible defeat at Rock with a terrific display of swift, attacking foot­ ball. : Green made three changes to


the team that lost their unbeaten start to the season, as in came Danny Walker, Paul Chippendale and Nicki Wilkinson for Stuart Malley, Mark Fordham and Chris Leighton. Right from the start they played with passion, belief and


hunger, and were rewarded with a goal in the opening five minutes as Walker’s shot from a Tipton cross was saved, only for Dewhurst to snaffle up the rebound. Green doubled their lead^ithin


10 minutes as Walker flicked on a long ball to set Chippendale clear


to round the keeper and slot homa Tipton made it three halfway


through :;the first half: as Dewhurst, Wilkinson and Chip­ pendale combined well to set up the left winger, who finished well. Rock;briefly threatened, but’ Chippendale grabbed his second.


into the second half as Green kept up the pressure, and Walker dou­


and Walker got on in the act just before half-time as he converted an excellent Tipton cross. The one-way traffic continued


bled his tally as he deftly lifted the ball over the keeper after being released by the excellent Dewhurst. : There was a slight lull in the' game after Taylor was replaced by Simpson following an injury, and the -visitors again tried to get their consolation goal, but Young was­ n’t tested.


The seventh goal came as Tip-


ton whipped in a free kick and ■ Wilkinson, got the slightest of - touches.' Substitute Leighton scored the


goal of the game minutes later as he hit a sweet 20-yard right-footer into the far comer for his third of


• the season, and Simpson rounded things off nicely to cap a vintage performance by Hurst Green. Green will want a repeat of this


performance as they face Read United on Saturday (kick-off 2 - p.m.).

Rimington edging a battle of two of the top sides. ■


, r


■ The villagers, playing into the- wind, had much the better of the


. first half, and created enough : chances to have won the game. • As it was, they had to settle for


a 2-0 lead at the break, mainly due to the heroics of the home keeper. The opening goal arrived just


before the half hour mark, follow­ ing a. quick passing move which


' , ■


- left Dinsdale the chance to side- foot past the keeper... : -Five minutes later, Lloyd fed


strike partner Penman to make it 2-


0. Danny Anderson pulled off a


tremendous save after the forward beat the off-side trap, only to see his effort diverted over the top, and Lloyd and Dinsdale both squandered chances to seal the game, taking a touch too many to


■give the keeper a chance. ■ Rimington expected a barrage


from the hosts after the break, but stood firm and created a killer third goal when Heslop created- room to cross, and Lloyd headed home powerfully.


when a free kick found its way to the. back post for a simple tap-in, but Terry Braithwaite was happy with the performance, and will- look for more of the same at Mill Hill on Saturday.

GRINDLETON marched on to the quarter-finals of the Northern Plant Hire Trophy with a win over plucky Craven League First Divi­ sion opponents. The home team took the lead with their first real effort on goal,


when a deflected shot found the net. •


-.- From this point, the locals took , complete control of the game and played some.excellent football, with Paul Parkinson running things in midfield..: j.-The inevitable equaliser came just moments later.


. The excellent Martin Cowey took on two defenders on the edge of the area, before jinking past the


keeper and firing home for a superb individual goal. The second half started well for


Grindleton when a good run by Martin Dobson found him one on one with the keeper, and a cool fin­ ish under pressure made it 2-1.= Grindleton were now playing


some excellent football, and with 20 minutes remaining, a cross from Cowie found Pete Daiken, who, after his initial header was blocked, rolled back the years with a spinning back heel into the net.


■ The victory was sealed with minutes to go when a back-^heel


from Cowey found an unmarked Dave Parkinson, who rifled the ball home to ensure safe passage for Grindleton.

well-organised Huncoat side. Whalley' opened the


scoring with a good move j involving all the forwards '


and finished by Eliot Mashiter.. ■ Whalley,’s second canie

as the first with Whalley pushing forward and the third goal came after a weaving run"^by Drew Blacklock. His shot was parried but Mashiter was


. on hand to complete his hat-trick.


The turning point in the ■


game came with a brave save from Oliver Evans in the Whalley goal that resulted in him having to leave the field. . This- disrupted the


defence and the continued pounding by the visitors resulted in two quick goals. Whalley kept attacking 0


with Lewis Maybin testing ^ •the -visitors’ goalkeeper. At the other end, man-


of-the-match Galium ^ Dwyer stopped Huncoat running up a cricket score. ^ But with only minutes


to spare, a goalmouth scramble resulted in Hun- coat’s equaliser.

TONY Bridge and Paul Wood continued their good late-season form at Clitheroe Golf Club when they claimed the best birds . in the Alan Hacking-spon-, sored-Turkey Shoot.


- ■ Bridge and Wood have


been a formidable partner-, ship of late, and this time it was Bridge who took the eye on the card. ■ A total of 41., points,


proved to be enough in conditions more suited to ducks than turkeysl Doug Wheatley and


John Greenwood looked likely winners until they got bogged down on the run in, and finished two shots off the pace. • ‘ A card play-off with

load to produce a solid return with 37 points,'and


Keith - Allen and Nigel ■ Clowes, also on 37 points gave the’Wheatley-Green- ..-

; . McGibbon managed


more golf than most over the wet weekend when he partnered Carole Brown to victory in the Mixed Four­ somes Final.


John and Jean Holt pro­


vided the opposition; but found the winners too good


on the day in the heavy going. Mytton Fold Golf Club


played.their first Winter , Series round on Saturday.


With course mainte­


nance underway, holes 12 and 13 were unavailable, so the winning nett score of Dave Bolton (57) does not set a new record! Next home was Chris


Czyzyk on 58, with Frank Hindle two stokes behind in third. :

proved to be much as expected in the conditions, with tight forward exchanges and handling errors on both sides. Clitheroe took the lead


with a nicely-slotted penalty from full-back Lafranceschina, only to have it matched by Chor­ ley a few minutes later. With the match and

inside their own half, they counter-attacked through the backlina

out ball, the Clitheroe pack drove into the Chor­ ley 22. The ball span into the hands of Callaghan, who side-stepped neatly and went in under‘the. posts, only for the referee to call him back for cross­ ing one of his own players. Just after this, Rick

involved several times, Wilkinson showed great handling in the conditions to keep the move alive, and Farnsworth drove forward with great verve. As ever it was a tactic
