KNUTSFORD proved too strong for opponents Alloy when they met in the Warrington and District League’s Premier Division last Wednesday.

They won a high-scoring encounter 53-38 at Birchwood High School.

In Division Two, Knutsford thirds made it back-to-back wins after a 26-17 victory against their Northwich Sapphires counterparts.

However Knutsford fourths lost 27-15 against Halton Krystalz in the same section.

The first team will return to action in the Cheshire Elite League this Saturday, when they take on Chester Maroon.

Meanwhile the club’s newly-formed under 11s lost narrowly to Didsbury in only their second outing in the Cheshire Junior League.
