Lymm 35 Treorchy 5

PREPARATIONS for the new season continued for Lymm as they swept aside Welsh club Treorchy in a pre-season friendly.

In a contest played over three 25-minute periods, Adam Fletcher’s side ran in five tries, including one for new signing Cashel Chilvers.

Aaron Rasheed, Adam Bray, Matty Connelly and Giles Dugdale also crossed for the hosts, with Tom Shard kicking five successful conversions.

“This was a good test against a side that moved the ball fast and wide,” head coach Fletcher said.

“It was a good dress rehearsal for the Billingham fixture in a couple of weeks.

“I was pleased to see us use the attacking maul to good effect and with the really positive defensive performance from all the squad.”
