Rob McDermott turned back the clock with a consummate fly half display to guide Leek 2s to the win that keeps them in Counties 2 for next season.

His cool head and exemplary game management were just what the team needed as they saw off a strong, physical Willenhall team in a ten-try thriller, and earned him the Patera Engineering player of the match award. Rob is sponsored by Dear Barber and Leek Link Taxis.

Captain Oscar Powell lead from the front all night in the Academy XV's country trophy semi final on Friday night. His hat trick of tries earned him the Wedgewood Steel Buildings player of the match award, but sadly wasn't enough to earn Leek the win as they went down 29-39 to Stafford.

And newcomer Isiah Matencio put in a statement performance for the Vets in their outing at Knutsford, but the hosts claimed the bragging rights with a 29-19 win.

Congratulations to all three on your performances at the weekend.
