CLITHEROE returned to action on Tuesday night when they beat Marine 4-0 to reach the semi-finals of the Lancashire FA Trophy.

Nathan Taylor and Zach Clark were among the scorers for the Blues and they will now meet Leigh Genesis at the Lancashire FA headquarters in Leyland for a place in the final at Bolton’s Reebok stadium.

Peter Smith’s side turn their attention to the league tomorrow when they host Prescot Cables at Shawbridge.

But they will be without Andrew Naylor, who suffered a suspected broken ankle against Marine.

Jonathan Forbes and Jason Jones return from suspension, but Liam McManus has still more games to serve.
