After the turn around it was Clitheroe’s turn to free the biting wind, and this meant a change in their tactics - namely "to play with more ball in hand and grind their way up the pitch, with openside flanker Rigby in the sin bin for not rolling away at the tackle,- the Medics mmed on the heat in attack to capitalise on the shortage of manpower in the home team. Two tries followed in quick

Cup Finals this year! Mr Charles, the


Director of Sport at Stonyhurst, said: “We are absolutely delighted with the development of our Under 16 and Under 14 rugby teams this season, and the fact they have both won through to the final of the Lancashire County Cup is just reward for all their hard work and commitmenL “The Under 15 team


also shows real promise. “It is great to see


so many young play­ ers achieving such a high standard and very obviously eiyoying the experience.” The Under 14s beat


Manchester Grammar 12-7, showing tremen­ dous will and commit­ ment throughout their match. The Under 16s’ semi­


final was hard-fought at Kirkham on a heavy pitch, with both teams trying almost too hard, and Kirkham taking an early lead. The second half saw immediate improvement


in the quality of play from both sides. As the minutes ticked


away, everyone threw their all into the game but were unable to breach the others’ defence. In the last play,


Stonyhurst secured a hard-fought 12-3 win to secure their place in the final. The finals will be played on March 25th at


Stonyhurst Under 16s after their 12-3 win against Kirkham, and, bottom, the Stonyhurst St Mary’s Hall firstXV(s)._

CLITHEROE MMA fighter Michael Bisping has vowed to exploit Chael Sonnen’s weaknesses ahead of their UFC middleweight title eliminator on Saturday. The 32-year-old has been mixing it with Jiu-Jitsu specialists such as Jake Shields


sions in eight of his 11 defeats. Bisping, who has 23 wins to his name from 26 bouts, was due to face Demian Maia


with the winner moving on to face Sonnen or Mark Munoz before getting a shot at the middleweight title.

If he does, then it will be a short night for him.” ( With two of the sport’s most polarising f i l te rs going head-to-head, the match-up
