CLITHEROE 3 BRIGHOUSE TN 1

- By Andy Hammond

CLITHEROE completed their league campaign with a win over fellow playoff chasers Brighouse Town.

Both teams had slim chances of reaching the play-offs, but results elsewhere meant the victory was academic.

Brighouse took the lead after just eight minutes when Michael Fish escaped his marker to head home.

Clitheroe levelled on 25 minutes after good work from Alex Newby found Dimitri Tuanzebe who scored.

The home side took the lead on 63 minutes, when an unfortunat­e bounce deceived Tom Taylor and Tuanzebe netted.

Clitheroe's Charlie Russell was shown a red card on 80 minutes, but the hosts added a third via Newby.
