WHALLEY - n i CRICKET By Dan Black


ONLY two games survived the weather over the weekend in the Houldsworth Solicitors Ribblesdale Cricket League, both involving local sides. On Saturday, all games were


abandoned • - Bamoldswick V Cherry Tree, Baxenden v Padiham, Clitheroe v WhaUey, Earby v Read, Great Harwood v Edenfield, Oswaldtwistle Immanuel v Salesbuiy and Ribblesdale Wanderers v Settle.


, • And on Sunday, all games


bar two fell victim to the rain - Earby y Bamoldswick, Great Harwood v. Baxenden, Oswaldtwistle Immanuel v Edenfield, Read v Padiham and the derby between Ribblesdale Wanderers v Qitheroe. However, Whalley’s game


at Cherry Tree went ahead, as did Salesbutys trip to Settle.


^VJr Whalley enjoyed a' five-


wicket success at Cherry Tree,' in a full 45-over encounter at Preston Old Road. Cherry Tree struggled to


97-9 in their overs, despite being 42-2 at one stage. ' However, they were pegged


back by Whalley professional Wilkin Mota (pictured), who took 4-27, and skip­ per Richard Palnmer, who chipped in with 3-39. Opener Mark Hadfield


made 37 of the hosts’ total. In reply, Whalley lost their


first four wickets for 26 runs, but Mota (39 not out) and Simon Gorton (32 not out) steered the locals past the. target with over 11 overs and five wickets to spare. However,


Salesbuiy


slumped to an eight-wicket defeat at a sodden Settle. The Red Caps were


restricted to 83-8 in their 20 overs.


Professional Susantha


Pradeep made 42 of those, with . only Joe Rawlinson (11) and Ben Rigby (15) joining him in double figures


in horrendous conditions. Settle lost Aneeq Hassan


for three in reply,‘caughe '

Birchfield RUFC................3 Clitheroe RUFC................0 CLITHEROE Rugby Club played their opening competitive game of the season last weekend, and although came away without. the victory, the portent for the forthcoming league campaign are excellent. This Lancashire Bowl tie was


always going to be an awkward • one for the Littlemoor team. Their hosts, Widnes-based


side Birchfield, were relegated last season to Clitherde’s division and were intent on making a bold statement for a quick return. Clitheroe fielded seven new players to the maroon and gold


/.’LV


jersey this season; ample reward for their enthusiasm on the train­ ing paddock. With a decent number of last


season’s regulars still holidaying or cricketing, the selection of the first choice XV will be pleasingly per­ plexing in the coming weeks. Despite severe rain storms on


the way down the M6, by the time the team landed at their destina­ tion, they found a dry, flat and firm surface ideal for quality rugby. Alas the opposite occurred.


Perhaps it. was a case of early


season rustiness from both teams that led to a scrappy see-saw game, plus the fact that both teams found the referee’s reading of the new law interpretations, to say the least, baffling at times. . Nevertheless, both sides played some high-tempo football, arid the match was a tough examina­ tion for the new young blades in Clitheroe’s squad. In the pack, the new-look


back row of Scotsman Struan Robertson, Kiwi Darren Eagle and occasional Aussie Rick • Slinger, were in the thick of eveiy- thing that was good for Clitheroe. Replacement


flanker Alex


Bolton also had an excellent cameo in the second half, proving the increasing depth of talent. • Up front Aaron Shread showed


up well in the front row - although ■ raw and a bit green in the prop forward position - with some hard work, - he has the physique and temperament to prosper. In the bkck line the new seasons


skipper Nathan Peel was joined by another debutant James Sharpies, in the centres, who, along.with full back Ijordan Wilde, showed


plenty of appetite for work both in defence and attack.


I f one Jordan wasn’t enough,


another one - this time Mr Cook - slotted in to the wing three-quar­ ter shirt, and never disgraced him­ self on his first appearance. The game itself left the coach,


Steve Llewellyn, plenty to ponder upon for his practice sessions for the upcoming league fixture. Lack of continuity was a prob­


lem, with both teams going to ground far too easily at the break­ down, and although the set scrums Md line-outs were middling, there is plenty to improve upon. Defensive organisation was a


plus point as was the overall con­ ditioning of the sqiiad, who kept going up to the final whistle. The sides were tied 0-0 at the


break and a solitary penalty goal sealed for the home side, but the game was there for the taking, and Clitheroe must be more ruthless at putting away any half chances that come fiieir way in the future. This Saturday Clitheroe 1st XV


visit Warrington side Eagle RFC for their opening North Lancs 2 league fixture. The second XV are in action at


Littlemoor, entertaining old rivals Chorley third XV. Kick-off is 3 p.m.
