BRITISH TOURING CAR CHAMPIONSHIP


Rimington close in on title


Rimington are four points from another East Lanca­ shire League title-and could potentially win iton Saturday against Burnley Athletic.


The villagers took a step nearer the title with a 5-3 vic­ tory over Stacksteads, in an in­ triguing match, sponsored by MP Coulter Gas Services. Rimington’s pressure paid


off midway through the first half when Lloyd looped in a header from Fagan’s pinpoint


free-kick to open the scoring. . Butfiveminutesbeforethe break, Stacksteads levelled ' when Taylor’s cross found his


. striker, who beat Kershaw with a diving header. Aftertheinterval,Riming­


ton regained the lead.when Fagan played in McLean, and he sped away before slotting home. And five minutes later,


Benfield found Lloyd and he squared across goal, where McLean hammered in.


The visitors responded


brilliantly and grabbed two goals in two minutes to level again, before McLean beat his man and crossed for Lloyd to head in his second. McLean sealed the win and


and his hat-trick on 85 min­ utes from thespotafter Lloyd was upended in the area. Boss Terry Braithwaite


said: “We now know that 4 points will seal it for us, and the home game on Saturday with Burnley could decide it."


Improving Adam’s first podium finish


Fresh from his impressive start to the season, Whatley’s Adam Morgan earned his first po­ dium finish in the second round of the British Touring Car Championship at Donington. Qualifying fourth on the grid for Sunday’s first race, Morgan eventually finished ninth. Lining up third on the grid meant he had every chance to make up for race one, and after an epic five-car battle for third, Morgan came out on top for his first podium of the season. Starting from fifth onthegridfor the final race of the day, Morgan finished 12 th. Morgan now stands in eighth place with 53 points in total. Double his score at this point last season. The action continues next week at Thruxton.
