Culcheths new look 18s played their part in an end to end competitive game.

Culcheth took the lead with a full length interception try from George Bradburn converted by Liam Pleavin,Culcheth had plenty of the ball but couldn't convert it into points and paid the price and ended up 12-6 down just before half time then a brilliant individual try from scrum half and man of the match Jack Glover beat several defenders to race under the sticks conversion from Liam Pleavin 12-12.

A controlled start to the second half with good defence and ball control saw Culcheth take the lead with a try close to the line from the ever busy Sam Purslow converted by Liam Pleavin. Culcheth then switched off for the next twenty minutes with sloppy play and scratchy defence allowed Leyland to score two tries, Culcheth kept themselves in the game with good scrambling defence and took the game to Leyland and went close several times, then great work down the right channel saw Ross Ashton finish off in the corner the conversion was missed. With only a couple of minutes left Culcheth fell off the tackle under the sticks allowing Leyland in for the easiest try of the game . Culcheth had a go in the final two sets but just fell short.

An improved team effort from last week s game well done boys .
