Glossop racked up their points in the first 20 minutes leaving Manchester short despite 'winning' the last hour.
Manchester travelled into deepest Derbyshire with hopes high, perched proudly in second place in the league.
A slow start cost Manchester dearly however with Glossop grabbing their 13 points in the first quarter, then Manchester getting their try before half time.
With only three points being scored in the second half from a good kick by Doug Day, it was scant consolation to "win" the last hour. Nevertheless a losing bonus point kept up Manchester's league momentum, still within the pack chasing Douglas at the top.
