A 4th versus 5th placed game promised much, but ultimately was cancelled by the weather as Valley's waterlogged pitch claimed its' second "victim" of the season.
So, in line with the league regulations, the game was referred to the Committee's "Pools Panel" who decided that Valley were 8-0 winners, a win that moved them to within four points of 3rd placed Ashton-on-Mersey after they suffered a surprise 50-14 defeat at Macclesfield.
Valley will be hoping the weather relents as, next Saturday (08 Feb), they're due to host Stockport 3rd XV at Hope Sports Club (ko1415hrs).
