Maroons star in home win against


Clitheroe RUFC Under14s welcomed Garstang in the f irst ofa double header o f games in consecutive weeks.


The home team have been developing their play well through the season, despite coming up against some strong opposition. Garstang kicked off and


the visibility was just good enough in the freezing con­ ditions to see Clitheroe take the ball well. Some quick in­ ter play and thinking by the home side led to Max Car­ rington streaking away to score a super try, his first of two in the game with the last coming in the last minutes. After a frenetic open­


ing few minutes, the game settled into a good contest. B oth sides were throwing the ball out wide, and defences weren’t strong enough to re­ pel such attacking creativity. That said, Smith and


Barraclough stood up well in both defence and attack, helping to create good ruck ball and Clitheroe’s continu­ ity in attack. On 10 minutes Clitheroe


marched up field and were awarded a penalty 10 yards out. Captain Wilkinson caught the defence napping a scurried over to score a sec- ondtry. Garstang hit back before thebreakwhentheyscoreda


converted try to keep it close at 10-7.


■ And the visitors took .complete control of the sec- ond third and scored two more tries to have a com- mandingi7-ioleadgoinginto the last session of play. Clitheroe knew they had


to leave nothing on the field in the final 17 minutes, and let no-one down with an ex- ® emplary application of what they’ve been learning on the training pitch. • They were communica­ tive and daring in defence and scything and efficient in * attack, running the ball out wide at every opportunity. First Wilkinson scored,


■ followed quickly by McLeod, who ran an excellent line be­ fore outsprinting the scram- • bling defence. Next saw Hamlet cap a *


overall good performance with a well-earned try, be­ fore Carrington showed a clean pair ofheels once more to score his second. Garstang were unlucky '


not to score in the dying minutes, the pacy left wing­ er knocking on over the line. Man of the match was-


Jack Pimbley, a full back who _ plays like someone of much ® greater stature. His tackling was immense. Another Clitheroe victo­


ry, thistimeawayatGarstang will be difficult, but not im­ possible for this side.


Tigers claim what could be a decisive victory in top of the table clash against Waddington


There was atopofthetable clash in this week’sfixtures in the Dorothy Southworth Indoor Bowling League at the Roefield Centre when cham­ pions Waddington Red took on newcomers TheTigers.


In a tight encounter, the Ti­ gers came out on top 4-2 in a game that could have been a 6-0 victory to either team.


On mat one The Tigers Trio


of Terry Hamer, Rick Grogan and Tony Edwards beat Wad- dington’s Ian Jackson, Jack Arthur and skip Bill Rome 20- 13. On mat two the Reds’ Kevin Ryder, Ken Barker and George Rushton sneaked home 23-22 against Peterlde.RichardHull and Alan Mercer, but Tigers took the aggregate 42-36. HurstGreen beat Clitheroe White 6-0, but the game was


much closer than the score suggests with the Whites los­ ing narrowly on both mats (14.- 15 and 17-19). Other games resulted


in wins for Wanderers over West Bradford, All Blacks over French Connection, Clitheroe Blue over Hurst Green and Sabden over French Connec­ tion. West Bradford and Wad- ' dington Blue posted 4-2 wins over Longridge and Read.


Sabden climb up to second after derby win over Dog Inn

slaught, however, five min­ utes from half-time Sabden got their noses in front as Paul Astin smashed a left- foot strike in from 15 yards.


Sabden added a second


20 minutes from time as As­ tin finished after a powerful ■ run from James Dickinson, David Fallon added a late brace to kill the game, tak­ ing advantage of a poor clear­ ance, before finishing a deft pass from Ryan Graves. There was a goth-minute


consolation goal for Dog, a Craig Barnes penalty follow­ ing a trip on Travis Blezard.
