• U13's Match Report against Congleton The U13's capped a successful weekend for Knutsford Rugby Club with a thrilling 32-22 victory against Congleton at home last Sunday.
  
  For a change Knutsford stated off strongly and were soon in the lead with a try from full back George Halpin, converted by Fergus Grieves swiftly followed by the first of Max Davies' four tries.
  
  However, Congleton's big pack kept up the pressure and with 10 minutes left it was 27-22 with Congleton camped under the Knutsford posts. With possession and a strong pack, Congleton looked odds on to take the lead with a converted try but thanks to an inspirational tackle by winger Sam Greaves, Knutsford secured turn over ball and following a strong run from Declan Yoxall, Fergus Grieves dived over to secure the victory.
  
  In the forwards the new second row partnership of James Campbell and Harrison Blake impressed as did Ben Mottershead and Billy Henderson in the centre.
