extra time in the cup


Rimington....;.........................5 Thornes.......................3(AET)


© After a run of four-successive


wins, Clitheroe suffered two straight defeats over the week.


On Saturday, Clitheroe were knocked out of the FA Trophy by Evo-Stik Premier Division side Workington at Shaw- bridge - in a game which saw- three red cards dished out. And on Tuesday night, two goals in the last 19 minutes


@ condemned the Blues to a 3-1 derby loss at Bamber Bridge, as Clitheroe slipped to 11th in


, thetable. At the Sir Tom Finney Sta­


dium, in front fo a crowd of


7,-203, Clitheroe got off to the perfect start as Richard Burns put Simon Garner’s side in front after only two minutes. But within five minutes, Brig levelled matters through


• Andy Bell.


. Matty Kay gave the hosts the lead on 71 minutes, but


Clitheroe were seething when they were denied the chance to equalise from the spot, with the refereeing ignoring appeals for what looked a bla- ijlitant penalty when Cory Bent


was pushed over in the box. Brig added a third in the


last minute through Darren Green tq give thegame a some-


q what distorted scoreline. Meanwhile, on Satur­ day against Workington, the


Redsalmostwentaheadwhen Conor Tinnion couldn’t direct the ball on target at full stretch from a free kick, missed the target from close range.


v i a is reuniting


Roefield Leisure Centre has embraced sport for the over 50swithasix-weektaster


S e s s io n of walking football in tneindoorsportshall.


& The first session was attended by 10 over 50s, some of whom


hadn’t kicked a ball in anger for over 15 years and more. , Weekly sessions on a


' “^Wednesday evening from g-10 . p.m. will take place through­


out November, with the last of the taster sessions on Wednesday, December3rd. It is hoped that enough interest will ensure a weeldy


programme of walking foot-' ball on a league or competi­ tion basis.


After the first session, or-


ganiserStuart Thompson (52), said: “It is a lot harder than it


looks and after an hour ofnon- stop movement, I can certain­


ly feel the benefit. It is still football in its purest forms, with skill and accurate pass-


■ ing needed, albeit at a slower pace.”


Lancashire FA Chief Ex­


ecutive and former Clithe­ roe manager David Burgess is supporting the sessions and added: “Walking football is popping up around the coun­ ty and it is an excellentoppor- tunity to reunite players with


the game. We have players in some parts of the county in their 70’s playing the format of the game and getting real en­


joyment at being able to play the game they love.” ■ To take part in the taster


sessions, simply turn up at Roefield at 8 p.m. on Wednes-


days. There is a cost of £2, and for further information con­


tact Thompson (07518 83g82o) or Burgess (07730 631243).

lead just before the half hour when Stuart Dixon’s long clearance created a mix-up between Roberto Bonaminio and Danny Brady, and Scott Allison’s shot was saved by Zach Hibbert, only for Alex


Salmon to volleyed in the re­ bound. An uphill task bee ame


even stiffer when Bonaminio was deemed to have denied Dan Wordsworth a clear goal­ scoring oppportunity.


The Blues felt there was


cover, while Workington wanted a penalty.


Salmon took the free kick


from the edge of the box, but the post came to Clitheroe’s rescue.


James Walker calledDixon


into action either side of half- time, before the sides were evened up when Gari Rown- tree, booked just before the break, was handed a second


yellowcardinthe52ndminute for impeding Cory Bent.


The Blues sensed their


opportunity, but were kept at bay by the Workington de­ fence, and with 21 minutes


remaining, the visitors added a second when Matthew Ty-


mon went round Hibbert and slotted home after good work from Allison. There was no way back for


Clitheroe, and with two min­ utes left, their frustration

. Rimington made hard work of this West Riding


- Challenge Cup tie, but pro­ gressed to the third round and an game at Morley Town next month. Wakefield side Thornes


were given the perfect start by the referee with a dubi­


ous penalty with barely a minute on the clock. Rimington levelled


shortly after from a short corner, as Fagan’s cross was deflected to Lloyd to finish at the back post. On 10 minutes, Lloyd


, chipped to Robinson and the youngster volleyed in to make it 2-1. Rimington were now


rampant, but several chances came and went before, three minutes be­ fore the break, Fagan found •Jackson and he curled in a beautyfor3-i.


In the second half, Rim­


ington were again profli­ gate, and made to pay.


On the hour, a cross was


turned in to pull one back, and with two minutes re­


maining, Thornes grabbed the equaliser with a fine headed goal from a corner.


However, in extra time, McLean crossed for Lloyd


to make it 4-3 up, and the tie was put beyond doubt in the 117th minute, as Jack- son collected a long ball and fed Bagot to score. Thanks toNJD Sports


Injury Centre for sponsor­ ing the match. On Saturday, Riming­ ton host Enfield (2 p.m.).


HawcoatPark ...................... .1


Hurst Green...................................2 Hurst Green maintained their record of never having lost a league game in Barrow with a hard-fought victory at Haw­ coatPark. The home side had the


better of the early exchanges, and a tremendous block from Barnes denied the hosts. The Green began to take


control, with the rampaging Coar missing a couple of gilt- edged chances. Adam Bee, in the Hurst


Green goal, was in fine form, racing from his line to make a couple of superb saves. The’deadlock was broken


on 25 minutes with a smart finish from the hard working Byrne, and the lead was dou- . bled 10 minutes later when Brierley produced a storm­ ing run which left Coar with a tap in. Hawcoat started the sec­


ond half in the ascendency, with Bee making two more excellent saves, and the Green were also saved by the wood­ work. The away side had chanc­


es to extend the lead through Coar and Brierley, but these were squandered. A nervous last 10 minutes


ensued, when Barnes unfor­ tunately headed into his own


net from a corner. Green were giving every-


. thingtothecause.andBolton was hospitalised with acute concussion as he heroically headed away from his own line.


Cattermole smashed a


25-yard drive against the bar as the away side hit back, but the final whistle came as a massive relief.


HurstGreen Reserves:............4 Eagley Reserves...........................1


Three second h a l f goals earned Green the points on a blustery day. Green took the lead mid­ way through the first half,


with Darnell getting on the. end of a right wing cross. Eagley rarely threatened,


with the back three of Tipton, Barton and Young in total con­ trol. However, they did equal­ ise when a corner appeared to hit Aspinwall before finding the back of the net. On the hour, manager


Young threw on Conor Mal- lett and the youngster side­ stepped a defender to slot homeoffthepost. Eagley seemed to tire in


the last 15 minutes, and Dan­ ny Walker, who had a frus­ trating afternoon, scored two late goals to give the Green a 4-1 victory.


Youth team are denied in injury time Hurst Green Youth............. ......2


Ramsbottom United................ 3 An undeserved last gasp goal condemned a battling Hurst Green Youth to a third Rround exit from the Lancashire Syn­ dicate Cup. Inan exhilarating match, at


Smithy Row, the Green start­ ed brightly and took the lead


following a superb flick from Tyler Baron onto striker Ollie Shipston, who controlled the ball and smashed it under the keeper. Ramsbottom equalised’


10 minutes before half-time when the Green defence failed todealwitharoutineinswing-1 ing corner. ,


I l S l C p i i f t i u i t q r ^ + . The Green went back in


front after the break when Dec Barnes was fouled as he pow- ■ ered towards the area. The referee produced a


red card for the Ramsbottom defender, and from the free kick, George Young unleashed anunstoppable25-yarderinto the keeper’s top left corner.


However, the visitors


equalised following some in­ decision in the Green defence. In an epic finale, the crowd


were enthralled as both teams sought the winning goal, and Ramsbottomgot it in injury time as their striker found himself unmarked in the six- yard box.


Asuperbride from Clitheroe Bike Club's Graham Fielding sawhim claim the 2014 British MountairrBikeflrienteering— MB0 Score National League title.


It went down to the wire at the final event at Kirkby Malzeard in North Yorkshire last week­ end.


With the overall winner


still undecided it was all on this last race, and Fielding and Mark Rowley from Stoke-on- • Trent both had to produce a high score to take the honours. Rowleys narrow lead was


destroyed by Fieldin,gwho won the event outright and claimed the championship in style. The league has been run­


ning from November last year and takes in events across the length and breadth of Great Britain-from theTweed Valley in the Scottish Borders to Ex- moorintheSouthWestandthe loflyheightsoftheBlackMoun-


tains and Brecon Beacons in South Wales.


Riders also competed across


the Derbyshire Peak District, theYorkshire Dales and North York Moors.


' Fieldingsaid: “It wasfantas- tic to win the Score League this year as it had a truly National


. feel to it. Alot more events have sprung up around the country. “This has also led to more riders and stiffer competition,


so to winitoutrightisagreat re­ ward for all the hard work and training that has gone into it. “To fly the colours of my


hometown bike club around the country also fills me with pride.”


Fieldingadded:”Iwouldlike to thank my coach and mentor


Mark Edlington-Booth of Syn­ ergy Sports and Fitness for his extensive training plans with­ out which this would not have been possible. Also thanks to to NJD Sports injury centre and my family for their support.”

Sabdenmove into contention


Sabden.... Heys Inn..


Sabden defeated second placed Heys Inn to record their fifth consecutiveleague victory, and put themselves right into the championship mix


Sabden were out of the


blocks quickly and David Fallon chested a cross into the path of Paul Astin, who smartly volleyed the open­ ing goal. Heys equalised on the halfhourasa free kick from


theleftwaspowerfully head­ ed into the top left corner. Three minutes later the


Heys striker coolly steered home a wicked cross. Sabden began the second


half like wounded animals, and on 53 minutes, Astin ’ s shot beat the keeper and struck the post, but Fallon


netted the rebound to level the scores.


The locals went ahead with 16 minutes remaining *


when a pass from deep sent Jacob Buggie clear, and the 18-year-old kept his head and lifted the ball over-the keeper.


Four minutes later, Bug­


gie provided the ammuni­ tion for Astin to extend the lead.


And Fallon’s second goal


on 83 minutes, following a drilled corner from Adam Fuller, killed the game off. To Heys’ credit, they^


poured forward for an equal­ iser, and an unfortunateown goal finished the scoring, but


the points stayed with Sab­ den. Ryan Ellis was named man


of the match for another im- ^ perious performance at the heart of the defence
