Walkover win puts 2XV one game away from promotion

Walkover win puts 2XV one game away from promotion

Graham Leftwich20 Mar - 11:52

Final game on 5 April will decide title

Leek 2nd XV are one game away from promotion after being awarded a five-point walkover win after Aldridge pulled out of this weekend's fixture.

With only the champions going up from Counties 3 Midlands West (North), Leek need to win their final game on 5 April to stay ahead of chasing Newcastle, but can't be caught by third-placed Barton.

So the Moorlanders will go looking for a bonus point win in that remaining game - at fifth placed Eccleshall. It was a tight affair on opening weekend at Altrad Park, with the blue and whites coming away with a 28-21 win.

The Baden Hall outfit have had an up and down season since then, but had a big win over Burton last time out. So skipper Andy Thompson's men know they will have to win a tough game if they are to go up as champions. Come on you blue boys!
