But the Connors trio pushed that one step more and Gavin made the yards, Briers chipped the ball over the defence and Wardropper converted the try to put the Bears ahead.

But with only minutes left on the clock Thatto hit back with a try and the game was won. Man of the match Connor Gavin, top tackler, Aaron Leong, most improved Ryan Steadman.

Orrell St James U9s 32

THE Bears found themselves four tries down at the break but the second half brought about a great transformation.

The players started to run onto Mike Kelly's well-timed passes and began to meet Orrell with some crunching tackling.

West Bank benefited from excellent tries from man of the match Daniel Rose and from Jack Phillips.

Sam Walker was awarded best tackler and Jack Jopson the coach's award. Tom Dempsey, Rose and George Nuttall were denied what would have been spectacular scores by fantastic cover tackles from Orrell's number seven who prevented what would have been a marvellous comeback by the Bears.

West Bank were well served by Andrew Farrell, James Mercer, Jack Bond and Paddy Douglas
