After picking up af irs t home league win of theseason on Saturday, Clitheroe crushed Lancaster City on Tuesday night to move into the second round of the Lancashire FA ChallengeTrophy.


The Blues beat Northwich Vic­


toria 3-1 at Shawbridge at the weekend, before Zach Clark hit four in a 7-2 victory at the Giant Axe. At Lancaster, the Dolly


Blues actually took the lead, in front of a crowd of 105, with Gavin Clark netting midway through the first half. But, incredibly, the Blues


replied with four goals in 12 minutes to go in 4-1 up. Alex Ralph equalised on 33


minutes, before Clark’s first four minutes later. Liam Hutchinson made it


3-1 a minute before the break, and Clark added a fourth right on half-time. Just after the hour mark,


Roberto Bonamino made it 5-1, and although Thomas Woods pulled one back for the hosts, Clark added a later brace - in­ cluding one from the spot - to take his tally to four for the night. On Saturday, Northwich


Victoria had the first effort on goal in the fourth minute when Burnett cut in from the left, but his wayward strike sailed wide. Within aminute, Hutchin­


son’s shot cleared the bar. Thevisitorstooktheleadin

The British touring car cham­ pionship entered its final stages last weekend with the penultimate round at Silver- stone.


A strong qualifying perform­ ance placed Whalley’s Adam Morgan ninth on the grid. Aftera solid start, Morgan’s


if,-


recent run of form seemed to be continuing as he moved up to sixth place, but then bad


luck once again returned to haunt him when the turbo on the Mercedes faile.d forcing him to retire from the race. Demoted back to 27th on


the grid for the second race, Morganclimbed to 24th after the first lap, and forced his way past a car on every lap to reach 14 th by the closing stag­ es, before eventually settling for 16th place, just out of the points.


Luck was for once on Mor­


gan’s side for the final race of the day. Promoted to 15th on the grid, he gained a further four places on the first lap, and worked his way up to finish in seventh place. He now sits in 11th place


in the championship with 148 points, and the series concludes in a week’s time at Brands Hatch.

early initiative were unfor­ tunate not to score following


Five from five for Rimington


Barrowford Celtic............. .1 Rimington.......................... A


Rimington stayed top of the East Lancashire League after their fifth-successive win. The villagers went ahead


just after the half hour when Jackson found the net from close range from a corner. She minutes after the inter­


val, the hosts levelled when Lloyd needlessly gave away a free kickjiist outside the area, andtheballwascurled beauti­ fully over the wall, giving Ker­ shaw no chance. ^ Rimington went back in


front when Lloyd released substitute McLean down the right channel, and his cross


was clinically finished by Jackson.


Chances came and went


before, with 10 minutes re­ maining, the visitors finally sealed the points when Rob­


inson crossed for McLean, and although his effort was saved, theballflewup into the airfor Bagot to head home.


And five minutes later,


Lloyd played in Bagot, who lobbed the keeper.


Terry Braithwaite was sat­


isfied with the three points but warned: “We were not at our best by quite a way.” Saturday sees the first


round of the West Riding Cup at home to Campion Reserves.


■ a superb in swinging corner from Tom Cattermole, the Astley keeper producing a top class save from Tyler Baron’s powerful header. But they went in front


when Ben Aspery calmly slotted home following a neat through ball from Ollie Shipston. The Grqen squandered a couple of golden chances


and paid the price on 35 min­ utes when Astley equalised from a 20-yard free kick. Fortunately for the


Green, Tyler Baron ensured thattheywentintothebreak


ahead as he smashed an un­


stoppable left footer into the roofofthenet. Hurst Green raised the


tempo after the break fol­ lowing the introduction of livewire substitutes Harri Yerkess and Cory Longton. Within the space of 20


minutes Yerkesshadhelped himselftoasuperbhat-trick, one goal in particular being an early contender for goal of the season as he twisted and turned past fourdefend- ers before smashing the ball home.


Aspery showed tremen­


dous technique in complet­ ing the rout for the Green, guiding home a Shipston cross from theedgeofthebox. The Astley lads refused to lie down and twice took ad­


vantage oflapses in the Green defence to give the scoreline somerespectability.


Open Throws event. The St Augustine’s, Billing- ton pupil started the day with the hammer throw, and with her very first at­ tempt she threw 24.27m, which gave her silver medal, in a new personal best, pro­ pelling her to the10 th in the UK rankings. She then threw 8.82 in


the shot putt, which gave her bronze.


Theri came the discus in


the afternoon, and, trailing in 11 position with one throw


left,shepulledoffamassive throw of 27.30m which gave


her second spot and another silver medal - for eight place in the British rankings. . The javelin, Charlotte’s


weakest event, was the last test of the day, and although - 15.46m for eighth place - it was enough to gain her pre­ cious points. A fte r totting up the points, the podium posi­


tions were announced, with Charlotte winning bronze overall - a fantastic way to finish off her outdoor sea­ son.
