THE fixture secretary bit off more than the Vets could chew this week as the visitors, bristling with Cheshire Colts players had youth and fitness to spare.
Understandably, the real collapse came in the second half but Widnes fought gamely early on and led at one stage, courtesy of a Chris Leedam try.
Gradually Wirral wore the home defence down and turned round with a much longer run than usual.
Peter Kenworthy slotted over the two conversions.
Danny Foran's play was impeccable throughout and the return of Mark Hignett was another of the day's brighter aspects.
