CLITHEROE manager Neil Reynolds was delighted with a clean sheet after his side held top-of-the-table Skelmersdale to a 0-0 draw in UniBond Division One (North).
Blues goalkeeper James Mann was the hero of the night at Shawbridge, producing a string of top saves.
The Blues were equally dangerous on the attack, but could not grab that elusive winner.

Both teams were reduced to 10 men before the break, with Clitheroe's Russell Clarke and Skelmersdale striker Anthony Murt dismissed for their part in a scuffle.
But Reynolds said: "It was a great game, and James has pulled off four or five world class saves.
"But we had chances to win the game.
"I'm just glad for the clean sheet against arguably the best team in the division."
