CLITHEROE'S gallant push to pip Prescot for the North West Counties League title ran out of steam last night.

A draw at Fleetwood means they now have to win their four remaining games and hope Prescot don't win either of the two they have left.

Lee Cryer looked to have a perfectly legitimate goal disallowed and home skipper Neil Kennedy escaped with just a yellow card for a professional foul on Cryer as he raced clear.

Barrie Hart scored Clitheroe's goal on seven minutes after he was fouled just outside the box.

It was a night for set pieces as Fleetwood equalised with a direct free kick of their own on the half hour.
