Phenomenal effort to get to the play offs but not to be this time. Conceding at 90+8 so cruel! 💙🦭💙

⏪ Our last competitive meetings with Clitheroe saw a memorable league double in just 17 days during our title-winning 2010/11 campaign.

Michael Wilde stole the show in the home fixture with an 11-minute hat-trick! 💙
