Knutsford Kasuals 10 Holmes Chapel Ancients 0

KNUTSFORD got the better of their neighbours in a contest played in dreadful conditions on Saturday.

They led at the interval after Richard Lockett side-stepped his way over in the corner to add a final flourish to a flowing backs move.

Both teams contributed to a physical battle in the second period, with centre John Daley a stand-out performer for Blues’ veterans.

And the outcome was only settled when Kasuals prop David Owen fell over the line from close range during the closing stages.
