However, skipper David Lynch struckin the 88th minute to set up a tie with his former club Workington AFC. . . “It was a great result,” said


Garner. “It’s possibly the stand­ out result of the season so far. WeVe done it the hard way again though. “We were 2-0 up, Droylsden


scored from two penalties and then they hit the bar with the last kick of the game. We don’t do things the easy way but it was a brilliant result. , “It will definitely bring con­ fidence to the side. The lads


showed great character to beat Droylsden after they pegged us backt02-2.”

“The FA Trophy is like the Non-League version of the FA Cup. It’s a great competition and there’s prize money in each round which benefits the club. We’ve got a chance of advancing and soon we’ll have the Confer­ ence teams coming in. It’s great for the lads and for the club.”

Luke vying to become the king of England!


Clitheroe's Luke Blackledge will be looking to land his fourth professional strap next month at Blackburn's King George's Hall.


Britain’s number nine su­ per middleweight, who beat Ghanaian Philip Kotey at the same venue in Sep­ tember, will take on Leices­ ter’s Jahmaine Smyle for the prized English title. Blackledge’s 28-year-old opponent, known as the


• .‘Smasher’,has 11 wins from his 17 professional contests . including five knockouts. His latest outing re­


sulted in a technical draw against Cello Renda after a head clash halted the pair’s final eliminator fight in the first round. Meanwhile, Blackledge


claimed his third belt in victory over Kotey - adding the WBC International Sil­ ver title to his International Masters and British Mas­ ters accolades. Anybody wanting tick­


ets for the show on Sat­ urday, November 22nd can contact Luke on 07731 542103.
