Sabden FC Sabden Football Club had
a bad start to 2014 when they were beaten 4 7 5 at home by lowly Boars Head after a poor
display. They could have been three down in the first 10 min
utes had it not been for heroics from Tom Diggins in goal. But against the run of play, lively Paul Astin dribbled around
. the keeper to give Sabden a 12th minute lead. Sabden’s Achilles heel all season has
been their inability to shut • up shop after scoring, and so it proved yet again as within two minutes, Boars Head equalised. With Sabden un able to string any kind of play together, the away team took the lead on 24 minutes and made it 3-1 on 37. Sabden did pick up the paceinthesecond halfandscoredon67 minutes. Yet the two goal cushion was restored just six minutes later. Paul Astin dribbled past three defenders before smashing home a superb solo effort to makeit3-4withsixmin- • utes to go but, the home side conceded again three minutes later. Heap added anotherfor Sabden in the last minute, but it was too late to take any points. Goalscorers - Astin (12, 84), Fuller (67), Heap (89). Man ofthe match, Tom Diggins for some outstanding saves,

Have your say on cost of policing
How much are you prepared to pay for policing? That’s the question Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner is askingthismonthashe speaks to residents across the county. Clive Grunshaw wants to
talk to residents about the possibility of increasing the
• amount households pay for policing through their coun cil tax as he bids to address a shortfall of up to £2om. People are being given the
chance to make their views known at events in libraries, shopping centres, and during PACT meetings all over Lan-" cashire. Residents who attend can
speak to the Commissioner aboutthepolicing budget,and have their say on whether the precept should be increased. In Clitheroe a consultation
event will be held this Satur day, January 18 th, from 10-30 am to 12-30 pm at the Library,
in Church Street. Mr Grunshaw said: “It is
absolutely vital Lancashire’s residents are given the chance to have their say on how much they pay for policing. “It is no secret we are fac
ing a significant financial challenge and, based oh the financial settlement received in December, we now know we need to save up to £20m by 2017/18. “Income raised through
council tax is a vital source of police funding - and asking people to pay more is some thing I need to consider in or der to relieve the pressure on frontline policing.” “I hope residents will take
this opportunity to talk to me about the financial chal lenge the police force is fac ing; and have their say on how much they believethey should pay before a final decision is made.” ■
