Breezy and dry, Manchester had plenty of practice between 10 am & the 11:30 kick-off.The longer warm-up certainly paid-off. Manchester's sustained pressure resulted in 5 tries, with one from the home team concluding the first half. The 2nd half was a closer - Lymm replying with 2 scores to Manchester's 4, F-T 3-9.
Highlights:
Probably the best, most cohesive performance of the season from the pack - who scored 4 tries and went very close on several other occasions. Evidence of Thursday evening practice sessions & super coaching paying dividends.
Sharp accurate handling and distribution from the half backs, direct running and determined tackling throughout the team
