Q The Glitheroe school will face Coombe Boys’ School of Surrey after a 5-1 success at Cardinal Langley RC School,
I I I '
.---^Manchester last Wednesday. The venue and date are be
announced. The home team had the
better of the early exchanges, but Ribblesdale settled into the game, and they opened the scoring when Ben Hartley had the presence of mind to find the.feet of striker Josh Tet ley, who produced some bril liant footwork to pick out his strike partner, Owen Gould, who passed the ball into an open net. Soon after, a golden op
portunity fell to Gould but he couldn’t direct his free header
into the bottom corner. However, he added thesec-
ond from close range after a s .. a shot from Tetley feU kindly. :. .. „ Only a brilliant last-ditch tackle from the home captain prevented a first half hat-trick forGouldaftermoregoodplay, from Tetley. As the second half began
Ribblesdale started the better, and another fast flowing move opened up the home side, with Gould playing a lovely through ball into the path of Tetley, but for the Cardinal Langley’s
captain to make a goal-saving tackle. Cardinal Langley managed
,to weather
the.storm and be-, gari to have their Dest spell in ■’ the game. From a corner, the home left back had a brilliant chance to bring hid side back into thegame, but he volleyed over from close range. And Ribblesdale made
them pay as captain Scott Wilson nicked the ball and stormed into the area before playing a neat one two and calmly slotting the ball into
the bottom corner. This goal knocked the stuff
ing out of the opposition, who conceded two late goals; one from'influential central mid fielder Max Carte and the other from Simon Wharton which well and truly sealed the vic tory. The home side did grab a
very late consolation goal, with a neat passing move finding their tall striker, who control led on his chest and volleyed into the bottom corner past the sprawling Wrathall.

just need to turn up and perform well now. I’ll do the business. “This is definitely the
fight that I’ve been looking forward to the most. I’ve been chasing a big fight for months now and I’ve defi nitely got it with this kid. “He will be confident
but I don’t think he’s got a chance against me. I will beat him and I will be Com- monwealth champion.”
