emerged victorious from two potentially diffi­ cult away fixtures last week.


Junior .soccer On Thursday evening, the youngsters trav­


elled to Haslingden Juniors, and a very spirit­ ed and dogged performance saw the locals record a 4-1 victory, with goals from Juddson Hickey, Elliot Watson, and a double from Owen Jackson, the second of which was a thunderous 20-yard strike. Sunday saw the young Wolves visit a very


good AFC Danven side. The first half saw Clitheroe play some very


entertaining football, and it was no surprise when they took the lead through Elliot Wat­ son. Juddson Hickey then ran from his own


penalty area, and unleashed a shot which shook the bar, just prior to half-time. The Clitheroe side continued to play some


great football in the second period, and they were rewarded when a good run and cross from James Scorah was controlled by Frankie Jackson, who turned superbly to send his shot beyond the keeper.

some great attacking play and again they were rewarded with an unconverted try to make it 26-12.


■ As it turned out, Bolton showed just why they’re cur­ rently unbeaten, by-running in six tries against a plucky home side. And it was. only heroic last-


ditch defending that kept the half-time score to 29-0 to the visitors and this was exempli­ fied by th e big-hitting Matthews, full-back Clem- mey and centre Whelan. ■The away side only added


another 10 points in the sec­ ond half after Clitheroe kept them at bay for more than 25 minutes. They’ve not played the top

played well to keep out a useful Adelphi attack, and Hilton made a number of fine saves, while Jon Fletcher and Pete Marsden dominated in midfield, but the home team took their chances and ran out comfortable 4-1 win­ ners. This was a highly
