I -


WHALLBY won the battle at the bot­ tom, but failed to make much ground on the sides above them after they were thrashed at home to Settle 24 hours ear­ lier. ' Nicky Byrne tried to make an inroad


against a strong Settle side but failed to keep batsmen Dickon Morris and pro­ fessional Brent-Findlay at bay ■ Lawrence Read was run out with the


home side on 29-1, but it was the part­ nership between Morris (54) and Rnd- lay which proved to be the match win­ ner. The pair put on an 88-run stand before Byrne claimed his second wicket of the afternoon after sending Morris’ wickets tumbling. Tom Davidson became Byrne’s third


and final scalp when he was caught for a single run by Vinit Indulkar, but Findlay’s 54, which included five fours

READ professional Jon Harvey led by example over the weekend as the Sunday seven-wicket sensation helped his side to maximum points from two fixtures. Hero Harvey claimed an unbeaten


126 total from the games against Black­ burn Northern and Barnoldswick as well as scooping 10 wickets in the process which proved too destructive for both opponents. : , ^ , Read won the toss and opted to bat -


first for Saturday’s game away at Veka Ribblesdale Cricket League bottom side Blackburn Northern. ■ Chris Holt was the first to fall at the


crease when Ashraf struck early to dis­ miss the opening batsman for just two runs. The professional went on to achieve bowling figures of 4-53 but it wasn’t enough as the remainder of the batting line-up, consisting of Michael Whalley, Joe Marshall and Harvey, put in formi­ dable displays to make -victory a near impossibility for the hosts. .


Whalley hit 32 before being bowled


by Rudra Singh, Marshall struck a well-taken 66 before being stumped by I. Lajboria from a tricky Ashraf deliv­ ery while Harvey (pictured above) thrashed his way to an unbeaten 66 as he hit boundary after boundary. A further 15 from Kyle O’Connor


then put the result beyond doubt as the visitors retired on 207-5.


and one six, sent the home side to 139- 4. Thomas Strickland fired another 10 while James Metcalfe and John Tarbox saw out the remainder of the innings at ■ 144-6. Then came the turn of the fantastic


four as Findlay, Morris, Tarbox and Andrew Davidson caused devastation at the crease with fine bowling displays. ; The innings got off to the worst pos­


sible start when Thomas Keighley was' dismissed without having posted any­ thing on the scoreboard. Declan Fitzhenry (4) was next to go


with the hosts at 22-2 and that soon hurtled down to 22-4 with the depar­ tures of Indulkar (13) and Sam Taylor (0). Richard Palmer top-scored for the hosts after reaching 20 and Lee Kears- ley was the only remaining batsmen to hit double figures with 15.:


But the afternoon belonged to Find­


lay (3-20), Morris (3-25), Tarbox (2-16) and Da-vidson (2-4) who bowled their opponents out for 84 and claimed an important 60-run-victory. However, Whalley responded well


• and answered Saturday’s defeat with a crucial victory away a t bottom side Blackburn Northern.


. Whalley only surrendered five wick­


ets in their innings of 136 which saw Martin Davies fall just one run short of his half century. His 77-run opening


- partnership with Richard Palmer (23) sent the visitors well on their way to a decent total, while 16 from Indulkar and another 23 from Fitzhenry did much to help proceedings. . .


In response a struggling Blackburn


side came close but not close enough as they fell 17 runs short of their target. - A promising opening partnership


between half century hero Ammer Mirza and Mini Bhada (21) gave the home side a promising start as their first wicket fell at 59. Professional Naeem Ashraf then


added 18 to the total but everything fell apart from that point. They quickly slipped from being 93-2


to 119 all out in a very frustrating innings which had started so well. Richard Palmer put in a great per­

formance to deny Blackburn a bigger total with bowling figures of 5-23 off eight overs.

the destroyer! Harvey then added to Blackburn’s


misery with the ball as he claimed unbelievable figures. He took four quick-fire wickets in 4.1 overs at the expense of just 12 runs.


. Ashraf struck 20 for the home side but he was eventually out-smarted by Kurt Smithson (3-35) who also bowled well. . K. Dalai (13) and Ali Haider (12) were the only other batsmen to reach


- double figures as the hosts were wiped out for 85, handing Read a straightfor­ ward 122-run victory and 12 points. Warren Eastham also proved too hot


to handle with figures of 3-27. And Read enjoyed more success at Whalley Road on Sunday as they beat Barnoldswick by 86 runs to claim another much-needed 12 points which keeps them hot on the heels of league leaders Baxenden. ■ Four furious hah centuries and seven


wickets from professional Harvey were the main reasons behind Read’s success. Chris Holt stepped up from his bat­ ting performance from Saturday to hit


61 from 66 balls which included seven fours and two sixes. His efforts were then added to by Joe


Marshall who struck 11 fours and two sixes on his way to 74; Harvey hit an unbeaten 60 from just 42 balls which consisted of nine fours, while Kyle O’Connor hit an unbeaten 55 from 36 balls which included four fours and four sixes.


............ Barnoldswick professional


Mohammed Ayub (54) and Matthew Nutter (57) did their best to spoil Read’s party, but it wasn’t enough as the away side were bowled out for 190. Luke Hodgson added another 29 for


the -visitors but Harvey’s performance was just too much for Barnoldswick’s batters who were merely spectators for much of their innings as he struck ivick- ets with ease. He claimed 7-86 while Eastham


added 2-50 to hand Read the win. They will now hope to close the gap


on leaders Baxenden further when they travel to Oswaldtwistle on Saturday, wickets pitched at 1-30 p.m.


THE latest round of games in the Clitheroe and District Midweek Cricket League saw-Low Moor make light work of the target set to them by the churchmen of St James’. Batting first, St James’


managed 43-6 from their 15 overs. In reply. Low Moor knocked off the runs required for the loss of just three-wickets. Chipping A made


home advantage pay when they amassed 129-4 against Calderstones.- In reply, only Gill with


31 not out could cope -with the home bowling as they finished on 73-7. ■ Rimington beat the


Ramblers of Chipping. Batting first, they


scored 125-4. The Ram-, biers put up a fight in reply, but eventually fin­ ished at 78-7.


Ghat sunk


CHATBURN came a cropper at the hands of Craven League Second Division leaders Pendle Forest on Saturday. Pendle won the toss


and elected to field, and bowled the locals out for just 82 in 34.1 overs., Only opener Mark


Braithwaite (15) and late order batsmen Andrew Booth (25) and John Lockley (17) made dou­ ble figures, as Peter and Andy Hakin took four wickets apiece. . Forest won by nine


wickets, -with Craig Vick­ ery unbeaten on 49.


Wanderers’ weekend of woe Trio sting Clitheroe


IT was a weekend to forget for Ribblesdale Wanderers as they suf­ fered a double blow in the Veka ■ sponsored Cricket League. The Church.-Meadow side had


the opportunity to climb to third over the weekend following Great. Harwood’s and Padiham’s failure, to pick up any points. - i But it wasn’t to be for the Rib- ble Valley outfit who were torn apart by Oswaldtwistle Immanuel on Saturday before plummeting to a second humiliating defeat at the hands of league leaders Baxenden on Sunday. Professional Jake Brown top-


scored for Ribblesdale with 39 dur-. ing the game at New Lane, but the remainder’of the batting order fluffed it as Charlie Jackson and Stephen Kerr shared the second highest tally with five.


- . Oswaldtwistle’s Andrew MetcaF


ripped through his opponents at the crease, claiming five wickets, while Alamgir Anwar struck three times while conceding just 26 runs.


/«L A


- Another Metcalf, Gerard, also got in on the action after claiming the scalp of Kerr which subjected the -visitors to a dismal 56 all out. ■ During Ossie’s early afternoon


innings, a third MetcaF struck to add even more heartache as Daniel top-scored for the hosts with 29. Ribblesdale’s Marcus Pratt did


all he could to stand in the home - side’s way, but it was close to being an impossible task. He did well to pick up bowling


figures of 3-21 in seven overs, but when Andrew Metcalf added 12 and others contributed small but significant totals, the game was over as Oswaldtwistle recorded a six-wicket victory and gained ground on their opponents in the league.


- ; , , And Ribblesdale had to endure


another heavy defeat on Sunday as - they were outclassed by table-top-, ping Baxenden. Again it was a full list of low scores that did the dam­ age as John Rain top-scored for the home side with just 16.


Professional Brown failed to


replicate his heroics of late as he was bowled for 10, while Robert Lloyd’s 10, Stephen Kerr’s 14 not out and Charlie Jackson’s 13 sent the hosts to 90-8 at the close. Baxenden pro Babar Naeem


subjected the hosts to an unbear­ able level of punishment with 4-18 from seven overs, Dominic Bul- cock claimed 2-19, while Ian Austin and Gary Sudworth took a wicket each. In response, Naeem struck again


with the bat to take his side safely towards their goal. He teamed up with Callum Waddington (14) to clinch a 47-run first wicket stand before going on to snatch an unbeaten 63, which included nine fours and a six, alongside Ian Austin (8) not out which fired his side to a nine-wicket win. - Ribblesdale will hope for better


fortune when they face Clitheroe away in an enticing local derby on Saturday, wickets pitched at 1-30 p.m.


A TRIO of Edenfield trouble-makers tormented Clitheroe on Saturday as they tore the Chatburn Road side to shreds with bat and ball. The culprits were Greg Smithson and


William Slinger who claimed four wick­ ets apiece, as well as professional Atif Ali Zaidi who scored an impressive unbeaten 91. Clitheroe opened brightly as profes­


sional Paul Turner and opening partner Jack Dewhurst put on a strong first wicketstand. Turner struck three fours and-two


sixes on his way to 38 before he drove the ball into the safe hands of Asim Bhatti from a tricky Slinger delivery. - Dewhurst also performed well as he


hit 37 before being dismissed for LBW courtesy of a Smithson ball.- , . The remaining totals weren’t high or


particularly inspiring by any stretch of the imagination, but 11 from Peter Dibb, 17 from Josh McDowell, 20 from Paul Gaskell as well as other small tal­ lies helped the home side climb to a creditable 169-9 at the close of the innings.


, Slinger took 4-54 while Smithson


returned 4-84. In the reply. Jack Dewhurst and Ben


Dowling limited opening batsmen James Lester and Christian Slinger to just eight runs between them, but it was Zaidi’s performance that got spec­ tators and team-mates talking. A total of six bowlers were employed


by Clitheroe in a bid to thwart his efforts, but their onslaught was simply hit right back at them as he hit nine fours and two sixes. . His 91 inspired his side to victory as


Adam Barnes added 12, Smithson struck 11 while Leighton Paul hit four fours and a six as he scooped an unbeat­ en 30. Dowling and Farook Butt took two wickets each but were unable to prevent Edenfield from cruising to a


. five ivicket-win. Clitheroe will now hope to bounce


back from defeat when they face local rivals Ribblesdale Wanderers at home, on Saturday, wickets pitched at 1-30 p.m. before finishing an exciting week­ end of cricket in the Ramsbottom Cup final against Baxenden at Settle.
