LEE Cryer was on hand to fire an injury time winner against a strong Skelmersdale side.
The Blues went behind to a Jordan Burke goal in the first half before missing a penalty.
Adam Gardner equalised on 70 minutes, his shot from close range squirming under the goalkeeper.
With 96 minutes on the referee's watch, a high ball into the area found Cryer and his swift and accurate finish ensured that Clitheroe began their season on a high note.
