Wigan St
Judes 20-22 Ashton Bears
[Sunday
21st September 2008]
Newly
promoted Ashton took the points in this highly entertaining local
derby. The home side got the best possible start with a try in
the first minute but the visitors hit back with a swift move across the
field which led to Adam Peet darting in at the corner.
Both
teams had chances to score and it took a great set play by Ashton to
break the deadlock with full back Nick Hazeldon scoring in the corner.
The
second half started as the first half ended with both defences working
overtime. The next score came from a promising move by the home side
who looked likely to score, but an interception and 70 yard dash by Ben
Toothill edged the visitors further in front. Back came Jude’s
and a left to right move resulted in an excellent try in the corner.
An
individual score by Kieran Sherratt, stepping through four tackles
seemed to have settled the result, but two late tries by the home side
and some scrambling defence by the visitors left the result in doubt
until the final whistle.
Man
of the match for Ashton was Kieran Sherratt and the coaches’ award
went to Jack Butchers for a fantastic display amongst the Ashton
forwards.
