Ashton Senior Colts 5-28 Ashton Senior Colts
Ashtons younger Colts team played with pride and passion in a strongly contested local derby. Early home pressure from the start could not be converted and Oldham scored 3 well taken first half tries to lead 0-21 at the break. The second half was to be much closer and was scoreless for a large part until Oldhams full back made a break for the try of the game and 0-28. Ashton pressured to the end and were rewarded with fast hands leading to a try out wide for full back and Man of the Match Ian Spiller who had been faultless under the high ball, well played both teams.
