After coming close to their first win of the season last weekend away at Manchester the 1st team finally got the victory yesterday which hopefully will ignite their season.

We have never played Waterloo at first team level before but the lads were not overawed and gained a well-deserved 18 – 12 win. We recruited quite few new players during the summer, it’s a testament to the hard work of the players & coaches Andy McKinney & Andy Powell that the early season errors are disappearing and the squad are gelling into a team, onwards and upwards.

This coming Saturday it’s a trip to Salford to play De La Salle.

Results from North 1 West:

Anselmians 18 Waterloo 12
Broughton Park 48 De La Salle 0
Northwich 34 Carlisle 5
Birkenhead Park 33 Blackburn 18
Burnage 28 Stockport 19
Douglas 58 Penrith 13
Warrington 48 Manchester 20
