20th September 2009 - Match Report

Manchester ‘B’ 17-19 Dukinfield
The development team opened the season against a hard running Dukinfield side that included 2 Manchester players. Missed tackles and indecision at the ruck gifted Dukinfield the first half. A valiant effort in the second half brought the scores within 2 points but missed conversions were the difference on the day. Superb effort from all the team especially Mathew and Lewis also congratulations to Joe on making his debut yesterday.

Manchester ‘A’ 49- 0 Aldwinians
The A team opened their season against Aldwinians and from the first whistle dominated the contact area. Great defence from Aldwinians eventually gave way to the repeated waves of attack with Manchester running in 7 tries and a perfect kicking record from Harry & Will. A great team performance but be careful boys the development team are close behind you!

Thanks to the coaches and volunteers at Aldwinians for hosting & feeding both sides
