Long faces all round

RUGBY:

A MISERABLE weekend saw five local North-West Men’s League teams slump to defeats.

In Division Three, Higginshaw threw away a lead for the second successive match, this time losing 16-10 at home to Bamber Bridge.



DIVISION Two action saw basement boys Oldham St Anne’s ‘A’ lose 70-0 at home to Halton Farnworth Hornets. Five members of the squad had been called into the first team.



WATERHEAD were beaten 24-0 by visitors Accrington Panthers in Division Four.

It means they remain on two points, three places above bottom side Saddleworth Rangers, who lost 52-16 at home to Eccles.



FITTON Hill Bulldogs were defeated 40-26 by Portico Vine in Division Five.
