Results Saturday 23rd February:

Cambridge            24        27  Macclesfield

Sedgley Park         20        59  Fylde

Wharfedale           33        22  Loughborough Students

Somewhat of a truncated fixtures list last week with three re-arranged games taking place, with them all having a crucial influence on the final three relegation spots.

Macclesfield kept their escape hatch open with their bonus point win over bottom side Cambridge, now surely doomed to National League 2. The Cheshire side’s joy was somewhat  dampened as news filtered through that Wharfedale managed to get a vital win their first in 9 games, albeit without a bonus point over Loughborough Students. Whether they will come to regret this one point remains to be seen as their lead ahead of Macclesfield is reduced to 9 points.

Sedgley Park found that their escape is more quickly fading as a rampant Fylde side ran in 9 tries, helped by a hat-trick by Ole Brennand. Fylde now on a run of 5 wins and 5 losses in their last 10 games got their fast off-loading game working especially in the 2^nd half and ran out easy winners, a result that brings them up to 6^th place.

These three results seem to confirm that the bottom two relegation places are taken and that only Macclesfield stands a chance of escaping realistically at the expense of Wharfedale.
