Moore 17
Ruskin Park 5 RUSKIN put up a great defensive performance, and with a little more luck with their goal kicking, could have run the home side a lot closer.
To miss out on 11 points in kicks and only lose by 12 is indeed frustrating, but much promise for next season can be found in the displays of youngsters Howden, Bibby and Hale in the pack and Pilkington at centre, against a side already promoted to a higher league next year.
Much of the play in the first hour was very even, but a converted try either side of half time, plus a simple penalty, gave the home side a surprising 17-points lead. At this point, the Moore scoring machine may have gone into overdrive, but to their credit, the Ruskin lads tackled like demons to thwart their opponents, and were rewarded when Keogh snapped up a loose pass and raced 40 yards to the line.
