Everything except losing (but that doesn't happen very often)!!!

Who is your favourite Clitheroe FC player of all time

I can't choose between Kurt Willoughby, Owen Watkinson and Craig Sargeson.

Who is your favourite player in the current Clitheroe FC squad

I couldn't choose! I think every lad who has put the shirt on this season has played really well!

What was your favourite game of the season

Colne Away on New Year's Day! Beating your local rivals is always great but what makes it my favourite was Jacob's goal when all the players dived into the fans to celebrate!!

What do you think about the season as a whole

Class! It was a massive turn around from last season both on and off the pitch and i don't think anyone expected us to finish were we did because of this.

What do you hope will happen next season

I think we will definitely finish play off places if not higher, but I would love a good FA cup or FA Trophy run because who doesn't love a good cup run.
