outpace the St. Anne’s defence to score. Kieran Edwards was
next to score after fine passing put him over in the corner .Michael
Burns trademark angled running then forged a try for Liam Taylor.

close range . Jones converted four of Ashton’s tries to make the half

The second half was a different story with the bears making
wholesale substitutions and the

team showing some character to stage a mini comeback .St Anne’s
managed to score twice before Andy Ball found a gap straight from
the scrum to score . Oldham were the next to score before Ball
engineered the last try of the game with a neat kick on the fist
tackle, chased by Oswald who touched down to score his second . Jones
converting both tries to take the final score to 12-44.
