Leek made a strong start, threatening the Longton line repeatedly, before a well executed lineout maul allowed scrum half Conor in on the blindside for the game’s first try. Repeated pressure followed and despite the score-line it was a close contest with very strong defence by both sides. Leek were better at converting their chances and brilliant work by the forwards gave the backs the chance to spread the ball wide on several occasions. An amazing solo run by Riley was another highlight of the day. All in all a very pleasing all-round performance with a final score of Leek 34 Longton 0
All eyes now turn to the Semi-Final against our Nemesis!! Lichfield at the end of November!!
