Lloyd Dean and Scott Bakkor, both who have eqjoyed a pre vious spell at Shawbridge, and

job and excelled in a faltering side to earn themselves moves to sides in the division above. “They are exciting players
that provide a cutting edge that we have been looking to add in the final third. “Lloyd is a goal scorer arid a
winner, and his scoring record in his previous spell was su perb.. “Scott can change a game with his pace, skill and pow

Clitheroe professional helps secure derby victory in controversial innings
Clitheroe pro Janaka Gu- naratne smashed his way into the Houldsworth Ribblesdale League record books and straight into a derby war of words.
The Sri Lankan professional, 34, became the first player in the League's 122-year history to hit six sixes off one over. But furious Ribblesdale
Wanderers players believed Gunaratne should have been out for a duck. He celebrated his reprieve
by blasting the final six deliv eries of the Clitheroe innings to all parts of the Church Meadow ground, losing four balls in the process. Ian Brit- cliffe was the unlucky bowler but still finished with figures of 6-80 off 15 overs. Gunaratne ended 79 not
out and then claimed 8-41 as the Lancashire Cup semi finalists and Senior League leaders secured a controver sial 54-run victory. “Janaka was bowled, sec
ond ball off stump by Jordan Britcliffe,” insisted Ian Brit- cliffe “But the square leg um pire, Frank Newby, reckoned the ball came back off the wicketkeeper. “We couldn’t believe it.
The game was stopped for fiveminutesormoreandafew words said before Janaka was called back. In fairness, at the end, he hit me good and proper, over the bowling green, over the car park, eve-

rywhere. . “I had bowled off a one
pace run-up because we’d been told to bowl our last four overs in five minutes. But I was off my usual long run for those last six balls'.”- Clitheroe skipper Paul Gaskell said:”Wanderers
were adamant Janaka was out. But it wasn’t clear and he didn’t believe he was out. “There were definitely
two noises and the square leg umpire reckoned it came off the wicketkeeper. At the end though his batting was a joy to watch.
There was some big hit
ting and it definitely swung the game. “We knew Janaka was ca
pable of it because he hit 34 in one over against Cherry Tree last season,” confirmed Gaskell. That performance stood
as the League’s previous best until Saturday’ssix ofthe best display to keep Clitheroe on course to defend their title. Clitheroe have a free date
on Saturday, while Ribbles dale Wanderers are at Section B leaders Euxton, with wick ets pitched at 1-30 p.m.
