GOLBORNE 16-12 WATERHEAD

A weakened Waterhead tackled well throughout but failed to make their positional dominance in the first period pay with Golborne taking a 4-0 lead at the break. Defence much improved from the previous week.

Waterhead lost a contest through poor defence whilst demonstrating some of their best attacking play of the season with 4 superb tries. Leigh
scored 6 tries with 2 well worked and the other 4 a result of Waterheads naivety and poor tackling technique. Needless to say Waterheads close season will be focussing on defence.

errors to boot. The team is capable of much much better. Scorers Nathan Mason 1 try Ben Whitehead 1 goal

Today Waterhead bowed out of the Lancs Cup at the first hurdle in disappointing cicumstances. Gifting Ince a 14-0 start with a poor first 10 minutes then hitting back with two tries to make the score 14-12 at half time. A further poor start to the second half saw Ince stretch their advantage to 24 -12. Waterhead again pounded the Ince try and were rewarded with another try. Handling errors and two poor calls (penalties to
Waterhead) when advantage would have given Waterhead 2 deserved tries. In parts Waterhead were at their best again and with consistency another win will soon arrive.
