5th Team/Vets

Sandbach 10 - Wilmslow 18 Sat 26 February 2000 Although Sandbach had the lion's share of the first-half possession and territorial advantage, they could not turn this into points. They turned down chances with the line open to them on at least three occasions. This cost them dearly. Wilmslow scored a try from a break-away; and Sandbach turned around 13-3 down. For the second half, Sandbach had the advantage of the elements. Although they scored a dubious try after 20 minutes, they spent the next 10 minutes in constant retreat, following persistent penalty awards against. During this period, Wilmslow scored a second well-taken try. Sandbach then pressed for the final 10 minutes, but rounded a sorry afternoon by scorning two further chances.
