KIDSGROVE ATHLETIC 3
CLITHEROE 2
By James Rogers
KIDSGROVEAthletic held their nerve to come out on top.
Grove took the lead with 11 minutes gone, defender Ryan Austin heading home but parity was restored 10 minutes into the second period, Kurt Willoughby firing in a 25-yard free-kick.
But just four minutes later, Anthony Malbon restored the hosts’ lead and then, in the 70th minute, Robbie Bromley tripped Dan Cocks in the area and Malbon made it 3-1.
Clitheroe ensured a nailbiting finishing courtesy of Ollie Crankshaw.
