Rugby Notes from Clubman

You thought it was all over for another season but just a short column to update on the County games played plus the final position in Three North for the Blues.

With Harrogate surprisingly losing out at related Halifax mid week and a weakened Fylde being hammered at Nuneaton on Saturday it means that Macclesfield finished a creditable third in the table behind Nuneaton & Caldy which is good news after last season.

Provisional fixtures out for next season sees the Blues starting at Loughborough Students in September.

Back to Saturday and in the County game played against Leicestershire at Leicester Vipers ground Cheshire came out on top 61-18 thanks in no small part to the considerable assistance of Macclesfield players past and present.

Fergus Mulchrone – four tries – Sam Moss, Martin Kent, Ollie Hewitt – 1try - Craig Smithson and Chris Townsend all featured together with former Macc Lads Ben Coiulbeck  - 1 try - & Nick Pearson with the squad under the watchful eye of former Blues Coach – Steve Rule with Rick Usher there as Team Doctor..

On Saturday the squad travel to Aspatria to play Cumbria with the final and probably Group Showdown game at Priory Park against North Midlands at Macclesfield’s Priory Park on Saturday 23 May – Kick Off 3.pm.
