Manchester welcomed a large Chester squad to Grove Lane on a Wintery and wet morning.
We had 18 players and split into 2 balanced and mixed teams, playing two 20min games in parallel.
Manchester won 1 and lost 3 games. All the games were very close, only 1 or 2 tries in each and both teams put in strong performances against a strong Chester squad of over 30 players.
The core skills we have been working on are improving week in week out and the style of our play is wide and expansive in attack. We are leaking less tries from missed tackles usually scoring the better tries in the game. Ball retention and better rucking have been a recent focus and that has improved immeasurably. We know from the Sedburgh festival when we hook it up we are unbeatable.
Another week where we moved forward as a team and a squad and we keep getting better. Well done boys and thanks to Chester for a stern test.
