WHAT A RESULT . . . County Cup winners Waterhead under-14s, fronted by team captain Liam Aspin.

JUBILANT Waterhead under-14s won the North-West Counties Development Cup after beating Rochdale Mayfield 28-10 in an exciting final at Golborne Parkside.

Waterhead turned in a terrific team performance, with the kicking games of Liam Aspin and Garyn Allen also playing a big part.

Delighted coach Andy Yates said: “Our forwards were absolutely immense.

“That enabled Aspin and Allen to control the game. The effort and commitment of all the team was fantastic.”
