Will injured his hand shortly after but came back fighting! George got hold of the ball and ran, sprinting for the try line. Straight away Rossendale 1 - Ashton 0. The ball got passed to Shaun and he made a fantastic run giving Rossendale a chance at another try, but unfortunately got tackled by Ashton. Jude injured himself but like Will came back strong. After receiving the ball Paddy made an excellent run and we got nearer to the try line. Derek saw an Ashton player with a chance of scoring a try but he tackled him brilliantly. Shaun had been passed the ball and ran for the try line hanging on to the ball whilst being tackled by four Ashton players.

Callum received the ball and ran for the try line he was so close, the parents cheering him on but an Ashton player made a brilliant tackle and stopped from what could have been one good try. The ball was thrown at the lineout and George caught it but then dropped it backwards, Shaun grabbed the ball and made a run for the try line and scored a try and we were one up, 3- 2 . Ashton made a brilliant run but got tackled by Oliver. Jhonny hung on to the ball and managed not to get tackled by Ashton. Ashton was about to make another try but George ran across the pitch and tackled him and the ball went of offside and Ashton lost the try. Not long after Oliver scored another try and made the score 3-3. A minute after the whistle was blown and the match had ended. Bury played Ashton whilst Rossendale headed for the warmth.
Oliver made man of the match as he scored 4 tries and he tried really hard throughout the game! Well done!
