Congleton 10 Ruskin Park 20

RUSKIN resumed winning ways with this hard-fought win at Congleton.

The visitors started strongly and applied plenty of pressure but could not turn this into points, although they opened the scoring with a Fisher penalty after 15 minutes.

Congleton though took the lead on the stroke of half-time with a converted try.

After a half-time pep talk, Ruskin looked more determined and took the lead with a brilliant 70-yard solo effort by D. Birch, converted by Stu Fisher.

Further pressure from Ruskin brought another blockbusting try by Martin Swift again converted by Fisher, before a penalty goal to each team completed the scoring.

This was a good performance by Ruskin considering late team changes and unavailability.
