Rimington stoim into GUP semis

REIGNING Craven Cup champions Rimington stormed in to the last four of the competition courtesy of a Lloyd hat-trick. It took just three min­


utes for the holders to take the lead when a perfectly executed free-kick from Dinsdale found Lloyd at the far post who headed back across goal for his strike partner Heslop to glance the ball home. The East Lancs cham­


pions played crisp, posses­ sion football to nulify their opponents and should have extended their lead when Hutchinson pierced through the Bentham defence but he failed to apply the finish with only the keeper to beat.


FOOTBALL But Lloyd turned from


provider to scorer after being brought down inside the area. His spot kick was saved by the keeper but he was first to react and coolly placed the rebound in to the corner to double the hosts advantage. And just before the


interval Rimington made it 3-0 when a wonderful move from the back involv­ ing Hutchinson, Wharton and Lloyd down the right resulted in a low cross which was brilliantly finished off by skipper McLean. In the second half Heslop


made way for veteran Penman and the substitute


made an instant impression as he latched onto a through ball and despite the com­ bined efforts of the visiting keeper and defender they could not stop him making it4-a
