	Blackrod Station - Past & Present - Home Page
		Situated between Chorley and Bolton on the line to Preston, Blackrod station has been stripped of the importance it once had as a junction station on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
		To its inhabitants, it's still known as "the village", but is probably too large to be accurately described as such.
		However, when the railway came, the station was named after Blackrod's larger neighbour, Horwich.

	Euxton Villa Football Club - Match Report
		In the first half Blackrod had the advantage of a slope and the wind which they used to good effect, allied to this was their determination to play at a high tempo and not to let Villa settle on the ball.
		On ten minutes the home side took the lead when a free kick was awarded outside the area, the ball was driven in low and hard and unfortunately for the visitors it was deflected into the bottom corner giving keeper Shaun Gibbs no chance.
		As the half progressed Villa started to catch the home side on the break, on 35 minutes Ryan Lilley put the ball into the net only for the effort to be disallowed for an infringement in the box, but given the first half onslaught Villa were happy to reach the break only one goal down.

		A root and branch reform of the Deane's curriculum and approach to learning is being undertaken between now and its reopening as a new school in September.
