great final with a sun-soaked pristine pitch and two sets of nervous but enthusiastic supporters chanting well before the kick-off.Whalley opted for a switch after win­ ning the toss and then im­ mediately took the game to the “cod army” for the whole of the first half. Whalley’s domination was continuous’ in all areas of the pitch, with a superb display of flowing possession football out from defence, and the whole mid- field playing in entertaining inventive triangles. The deadlock was broken


when a free kick was awarded and Whalley’s Matt Stephen­ son stepped up to launch a hallmark long range effort which beat the Fleetwood keeper with ease. The goal relaxed the East Lancashire lads as their attractive foot­ ball continued to flow.

Clitheroe for three years from 1989 to 1992, Pat was always so willing to help and support his friends and neighbours with the unconditional kindness that will be his legacy. He was a prominent, re­

wood begin at a fast pace and they continually threatened the Whalley goal with a mix­ ture of long range shots and direct runs, all capably dealt with by a strong defence and goalkeeper Jacob Middleton. The relentless pressure con­ tinued for the first 20 min­ utes of the second half and it took an inventive Whalley attack to halt Fleetwood’s momentum, when a search­ ing switched cross from Con­ nelly on the left found Harry Wilkinson, who coolly con- ■ trolled and smashed the ball home to make it 3-0.
