Cup Fever Saturday

This Saturday it's cup weekend for Clitheroe senior teams; the 1sts travel to Garstang and the 2nds are at Littemoor hosting Hawcoat Park 2's
On Sunday the U17 Junior Colts have a local 'derby' when welcoming Colne & Nelson Colts.

The Alan Stone Lancashire Bowl is in a new format this season. With two groups of four teams playing each other in a 'round robin' competition over the first half of the season, with the winners of each group going through to the final.
Garstang, Bury and Ormskirk are in with the Maroons' group.
After a first day set back in the league against Garstang , Clitheroe will feel they're more up to speed with the pace of rugby in this division and hope to mount a serious challenge this week. Any trip to Hudson Park is always a tricky one, but after safely negotiating last weeks difficult task, confidence is good within the squad.

The 2's are in cup/league action as well. This weeks game doubles up as the 1st round of the Brooke Edgley Specialist Technical Services Shield as well as a regular league fixture.
Hawcoat Park from Barrow in Furness, are the former sports club of Vickers and boast excellent multi sport facilities formed back in 1930.

Kick off is at 3pm and our referee is Mr Andrew Irvine from the Manchester Society.


The Colts have a local derby facing the lads from 'over the hill' Colne & Nelson on Sunday.
Always great to welcome Colne to Littlemoor, kick off is 12.30pm and all are welcome to support.

Our referee is no stranger to Clitheroe Mr Asif Mahmood, from the Manchester Society
