covered fixtm William Hasler- Cregg’s fifth-minute opener to lead 2-1 at half-time, before turning the power on after the break, adding four more goals for a fourth win in five games. The Bloods claimed the


early initiative when former Colchester United and Crewe Alexandra striker Dom Smith fed Hasler-Cregg, who was clinical with the chance. But theleadlastedonly sev­

the lead on 19 minutes when Scott Harries’ turned in the


ball after the visiting keeper Pflft-jpH a shot, hut his effort—


was chalked off for off-side. • Clitheroe continued to


press, and Louis Mayers forced a fine save from a head­ er, before Harries got his name on the scoresheet, rounding off a flowing team move. Mayers flipped a free kick


over the top 10 minutes be­ fore the break, but it wasn’t all Clitheroe, and Droylsden had a great chance to level matters when Smith again turned provider, but this time, Hasler-Cregg couldn’t apply the finishing touch. Clitheroe went in ahead,


and they could have added to their lead just three minutes after the interval when Dan­ ny Brady’s header hit the bar from a corner. ■ The third goal arrived 11

yond them midway through the second half when Jonny Hession added a fourth goal. And five minutes later, the


former Nelson man netted his second as the Blues went nap. They weren’t'finished


there, as Hampson also claimed a double, hitting the sixth in the last minute after rounding the keeper. In front of their biggest at­


tendance of the season, with 270 at Shawbridge, Clitheroe had hit six in a seventh home win, and climbed above Spen- nymoor Town into fourth place - with a gap of six points between the Blues and sixth


. place. It also meant Garner’s exu­


berant young side are the top scorers in the Evo-Stik First Division North, with 42 goals. Clitheroe look to extend


their five-game unbeaten league run with Farsley Celt­ ic next up at Shawbridge in the league on Saturday, be­ fore a trip to Bacup Borough in the LFA Challenge Cup on -Wednesday.


Joe Hopkins (s).


Clitheroe RUFC......................29 Tarleton2nds...........................12 A dank, dismal Novem­ ber day at Littlemoor was brightened by the town team progressing to the quarter­ finals of the Raging Bull Bowl at the expense of Tarleton. Having played, and won


at the same opposition the previous week, the manner of victory was totally differ­ ent.


A reshuffle in the backs


saw Joe Hopkins start at fly half and Matt Bleasedale on the left wing, with Nat Dick­ enson comingin at blindside flank. Skipper Richard Few


elected to play with the slope and demanded quick scores to set the correct tone. Clitheroe duly obliged


and started throwing the ball about in almost cavalier fashion. And with the for­ wards warming to their task and forcing many turn overs, it gave the speedy looking back line plenty of ammuni­ tion to attack.


After a couple of thrusts


in the outside channel, a sharp inside ball from Hopkins put Chris Stewart through to score. Hopkins was on hand


with the extras. A-wavp of attacks were


well supported by the pack, who efficiently repeatedly recycled the ball and pow­ erful Welsh number eight James Haynes dived over. Clitheroe kept up the


pressure nicely and a pen­ alty from Hopkins kept the scoreboard ticking over. Just on the stroke of the


interval, Tarleton scored a tryoftheirown. Tarleton started the sec­


ond period strongly, and scored again shortly after the restart. The conversion put them within a score, but Clitheroe pressed again and theirpatience was rewarded. Ruck ball under the post


was moved to the right where there was a slight overlap. Some excellent swift take and give passing from the tight forwards, with Rich­ ard Edmondson and Jamie Farrell to the fore, put Joe Smith in. Again Hopkins convert­


ed to seal a man of the match performance. There was still time for


one more score, as a pro­ longed skirmish under the shadow of the posts saw the ball shipped out to the left, where lock forward Lewis Hardman slithered in and rounded o f f the game in ■ style. ---------:---------------

Rimington ease through


Rimington earned a comfort­ able 8-0 win at Amaranth as the 2013 winners progressed to the third round of the West Riding Challenge Cup. The villagers went ahead


on 15 minutes through Walms- ley, as the keeper misjudged the flight of.the.ball and it found its way into the net. Walmsley had a hand in


the second as his great work released Nolan, and he played in McLean to slam home.. Just after the half hour, Eagan found Jackson in-the-


tom corner for a class finish. with table-topping Mill Hill.
