Farsley AFC and Spennymoor Town inflict further misery after Chorley defeat
Clitheroe endured a fifth suc cessive loss as the club’s Lan cashire FA Challenge Trophy hangover continued to hinder
' i t*
their league form. An 8-3 thumping at the hands of Spennymoor Town at the Brewery Field a fortnight ago could be forgiven somewhat as Blues boss Simon Garner rest ed several senior players ahead of their date at the Macron Sta dium.
- A James Dean penalty was
sandwiched inbetween first half strikes from Andrew Teague and Paul Jarvis as Con ference North side Chorley tri umphed in front of i,6u fans to take the silverware back to Vic tory Park. And that reversal at the
home of Bolton Wanderers ar rived in the middle of the club’s most uneconomical spell ofthe season. The Blues were level with
Evo-Stik First Division North play-off hopefuls Farsley AFC at the break on Saturday, but Lewis Nightingale broke the deadlock from the spot in the
• 64th minute once James Walk er had upended Aiden Savory. The openerwas shrouded
with controversy as striker Sefton Ganzalez was seeming ly fouled in the build-up while Savory appeared to collect pos session in an off-side position. The Villagers secured max

Tommi Me’adows was hoping to bounce backfrom a dis appointing first rally of the JuniorlOOO Championship at Anglesey last weekend.
A mistake at the first event of the season cost him and co-driver Ian Oakey a podi- um position, but he was in a
© positive frameofmindas the. crewheadedforAngleseyfor round two. A promising first stage
left the crew once again bat-. jjy tling for a place on the po
dium in this competitive championship. However, abroken drive-
shaft on stage two of the- eight-stage event led to a very disappointing and pre-
. mature end for the pair. Although unable to con
tinue in the main rally and score championship points, the 15-year-old managed to get some valuable mileage under his belt on the last few stages thanks to the support fromhisveryhelpfulservice
crew. Tommi Meadows had apremature finish to his rally in Anglesey “It’s been a weekend I
want to forget if I’m honest,” commented a disheartened Meadows, ■ “I must thank my dad, Gordon from Proflex and Mick from A-Frame for fix ing the car so that 1 could get some more experience in the last few stages. “I would also like to thank
Cybox Exhausts and TAROX Brakes for their appreciated support, hopefully 1 will be able to get a much needed finish on my next rally i ”

Hurst Green..........................5 Burscough Richmond............3
Hurst Green had the edge in this crucial top of the table fixture. - The locals got off to a great start as Brierley drove the ball home for the opener. Things got even better for
the hosts when Alan Coar ex pertly lobbed the keeper to make it 2-0. The home faithful were in
seventh heaven when Brierley again cut in to beat the keeper
by his near post. With half-time looming,
Richmond were handed a lifeline when Edwards poked
home to make it 3-1. The game was back in
the balance when Jones un leashed a screamer from 35 yards into the top corner. Burscough looked set to
equalise when they sprung the off-side trap, but Bee made a superb save and play immedi ately switched to the other end of the pitch where a mix up al
lowed Alan Coar to walk in his second to make it 4-2. Late on substitute Sarge-
son picked up the ball and beat two men before curling a delightful shot into the corner of the net to make it 5-2. There was still time for
Richmond’s Kenyon to grab a consolation at the death. The reserves drew 1-1 at
Garstang with agoal from Coo- nan, while Harri Yerkess net ted in a 1-1 draw for the youth team against Lytham Town.

Sabden fighter earns first round knockout * Sabden’s Reece Famhill earned a first round TKO as he fought with Sandygate ABC of
tod
Burnley at the recent Failsworth ABC Show in Manchester. Farnhill faced home fighter B. Orchard and took no time at all to set out his intentions, © constantly moving, catching his opponent with regularity, even in the clinches. He worked throughout, opening up a commanding lead, before the unbeaten Farnhill’s class forced international referee Wayne Heywood to step into the fray, giving a standing eight count to Orchard. Ten seconds later the exciting Sandygate boxer set about the home town favourite again, giving Heywood no choice but to step in and save Orchard from more punishment, handing a first round TKO to the jubilant Farnhill.
Sabderis valiant effort is in vain
Sabden battled valiantly against Church Town, be fore eventually succumb ing to a 3-1 defeat.
The locals held the score at 0-0 for almost an hour before Church scored a somewhat offside-looking header. Church doubled their
lead on 69 minutes before Jason Bates went on a mazy run, John Barnes-like, only being stopped in his tracks by a crude lunge. David Fallon expertly
despatched the penalty to give Sabden hope in a very even contest. The Treacle Miners
pressed for the equaliser but were eventually un done on the break with a third goal. Bates was named man
ofthe match. Also in the Harry De-
whurst Memorial League, Dog Inn went down 6-0 against Bees Knees with only nine men. Dog manager Simon

Picture: Peter Ryan Telford offered new terms to stay at Bloomfield Road
Former Clitheroe Wolves star DominicTelford hasbeen offered a new contract at Blackpool. Telford scored his f irst senior goal on December 28th against Rother ham, and has made 12 appearances in a testing season for the Seasid e s . Afterthegoai,Telford and Mark Waddington were banned from training aftertuming down profes sional terms.
Chairman Karl Oyston had a change ofheart and relented, allowing boss Lee Clark to select the pair. And Clark revealed fresh offers have been tabled - although it re mains to be seen if they accept and commit theirfutures to theBloom- field Road club. TheformerHuddersfieldTown and Birmingham City boss said: “They’ve been offered new im proved contracts, afew weeks ago.
“Theyknowlwantthemtobea part of thefuture here and we’ve made them offers. “Whether we needtopushthose again o r not, we’ll see.” Premier League Stoke City made a move forTelford in the January transferwindow, as Clark added: “We turned down offers from a Premier League club for Dorn and a Championship club fo r Mark.” '
Kerins was livid after four players failed to report for this fixture at Wilson’s. Two players short, it
was understandably a tall order for the Whallley side as, despite a spirited per formance, their Accring ton opponents were able to press home their numeri cal advantage. Dog keeper Jonny De-
vine was named man of the match. Kerins said: “I can
not fault the players who played, there were some excellent performances.”
Rimington earn cup final berth after heated tie
Both sides finish with nine men in Skipton Rimington.................................1
Settle United...........................0 After losing to Settle in the Yorkshire County Cup, Rim ington avenged that loss in the Craven Cup semi-final at Skip- ton Town on Saturday. Settle’s victory was hollow
as they were later ejected from the competition for playing an ineligible player against both Rimington and Oxenhope. With bad blood between
the teams, the officials were always going to be in for a busy day, and they were, with four players being sent off. Rimington played the first
half into astiffwind, but Dins- dale and McCarthy dealt with Settle’s long ball tactics with little trouble. The first action
of any note saw Lloyd miss from close range after good work from McLean. The next chance fell to
Hickling, as Lloyd brilliantly flicked the ball into his path, but he pulled his shot wide. Fagan then whipped a
corner in from the right, and Dinsdale’s bullet header was tipped around the post. Kershaw was called into ac
tion as a snap shot forced him into a smart save at the back post, but on 37 minutes, Rim ington took the lead. McLean drilled the ball in
from the right, and Lloyd lost his marker and hit a thunder bolt past the keeper. Settle started the second half well, and Kershawpushed
a header round the post. On 55 minutes, Settle’s cen
tre forward was sent off after a two-footed lunge on Fagan. A delightful pass from
Collinge put Jackson through, and he unselfishly squared to Hickling, who missed from six yards. With 20 minutes left, Rim
ington were reduced to nine men, Lloyd diving in reckless ly on the left back, and Jack- son pushing a player over in the melee. With two minutes remain
ing, Walsh played substitute Bagot through, and Settle’s chasingdefenderbroughthim down inside the box, and was sent off. Fagan’s well hit pen alty was brilliantly saved.
