Burtonwood Bridge 10 Pilkington Recs A 34

BURTONWOOD were undone by a well-drilled table-topping Pilkington side at Fir Tree Lane.

Poor control of collisions in the first half allowed Pilks to turn round with a 16-6 lead.

Wood were much improved after the break despite a late points rally from the visitors.

A Bradley Allen break, following a regather of his own kick getting charged down, led to the stand off chipping through for winger Jake Boardman to touch down Wood's opening try.

Second-half territory and possession was rewarded when non-stop half back Andy Shelley ran a sweet line off loose-forward Ryan Farnan.

Man of the match for Burtonwood was outstanding young hooker Sam O'Garra.
