CLITHEROE FC celebrated a successful season when players, officials and friends gathered for their presentation evening.

The first team won the North Western Trains Floodlit Trophy and got to the quarter-finals of the FA Vase.

But not to be outdone, the reserve team carried off the NWT League Cup and the under-18s achieved a League and Cup double in the Blackburn and Darwen Philanthropic League.

The first team will make an early start to next season when manager Steve Parry - starting his first full season in charge - pitches his players into a friendly match at Shawbridge against Stockport County on Saturday, July 17, followed in the evening by the official opening of the new Blues Club.

Season tickets are now on sale with concessions for purchase before July 31 and Castle Cement will once again be the club's main sponsors for the third successive season.
