..1 Clitheroe tamely exited the

one change from the team that undeservedly lost Mon­ day’s league game between the two sides, with Peter Dunker- ley replacing Danny Morton


@ upfront. Harrogate were first to


have a; strike on goal in the fourth minute, but a long range free kick sailed over.

wide of the far post midway through the half, before Dav­ id Lynch did the same at the

Young Green slip to their first defeat


Hurst Green Youth............. .1 Bolton Boys’ Club.......... ......3


/ On Sunday, Hurst Green youth team were defeated for the first time this season by a


Q strong Bolton Boys’ Club. After half an hour, Bolton


opened the scoring following a defensive lapse by the Green


^ d e fen c e . However, the teams went in level at the break after strik­


er Oli Shipston was fouled as he raced into the penalty ar­ ea and skipper George Young calmly slotted home the re­ sulting penalty. Hurst Green started the


secondhalfbrightlyandwere in control of the game until Bolton scored a well-executed free kick on 55 minutes. Shortly after this, Bolton


capitalised on another defen­ sive lapse to give them a two-


goal advantage against the run of play.


Hurst Green fought hard


to get back into the match but unfortunately found the Bolton keeper in fine form and when man of the match Max Hutchinson crashed a 25 yard rocket against the bar the Green lads knew it wasn’t go­ ing to be their day. The match was sponsored by Hurst Green Plastics.

appeared in the past. “It was a relationship


that built on sparring ses­ sions with Kenny Anderson and Luke Blackledge,” Maree said. “Carl Froch is a name that excites and we’re de­ lighted that he’s up for doing it. We’ve had a big response already, which is no surprise because it’s a name that slips into the mainstream.” Maree added: “We’re all


looking forward to it. The interest is huge due to his involvement in the biggest fight that’s happened on these shores for years. “There were 80,000 peo­


ple watching at Wembley and millions of others paid to watch it on TV.” Tickets for the event, lim­


ited to 200, are £70 and in­ clude a three-course meal. For further details, log on to mareepromotions.co.uk
