Burnley & Pendle RL 26-28 Ashton Bears B.
A close game that was decided by the last kick of the match with Ashton B coming back from 26-18 down with 4 minutes left on the clock. B&P are mainly an RU side coached by ex-Wigan youth coach Brian Foley and showed some promising signs against an Ashton B side containing six 16 year olds making their debut at open age level alongside 3 players playing their 1st ever game of rugby of either code. As a model for getting new sides established and bringing in a good social aspect to RL the summer merit league system is great.
