5th Team/Vets

Sandbach 24 - Heaton Moor 5 Sat 13 November 99 Although the points difference at the final whistle seemed comprehensive, the players of both sides knew that the margin could be breached should there be any lapse of concentration. Sandbach denied Heaton Moor possession, especially at the line-outs; and this was the basis of their win. Given the lack of possession, Heaton Moor needed to defend and did so with dogged determination. However, perseverance saw Sandbach cross the line once in the first half and twice in the second to gain a solid victory.
