"In truth Clitheroe struggled to impose themselves in the first half but always carried an aerial threat and they dominated play in the second half comfortably running out 4-1 winners."

The Clitheroe coach said after the game that he gave them a right bo11ocking at half time, told them they weren't that good that all they had to do was turn up to win, and they'd better put the effort in. They did seem to take it on board.
