Widnes Albion Bulls 10

ON a very heavy pitch the Albion forwards held their own against with good work by Geoff Williams and Mick Donnelly with Ste Lightfoot.

A try by Geoff Jackson off a pass by Darren Yates kept the Albion in the game despite pressure in the second-half could only land a try by Wayne Swindley and a conversion by Chris Fenlon.
