WEST PARK and Orrell drew 17-17 in South Lancashire/Cheshire One League.
Orrell levelled with a last-ditch try. The conversion on a windswept afternoon at Red Rocks sailed wide but it would have been a travesty had either side lost.
Hoylake battled bravely at Sale before going under 21-8 and there was disappointment for New Brighton in an 20-8 home reverse at the hands of Bowdon.
Warrington’s run of defeats stretched to 13 in a 12-5 finish at Ashton-on-Mersey. Wigan saw off visiting Collegiate 29-19 but Ormskirk lost 13-6 at Winnington Park.
Tries via Colin Pascoe, Steve Moffatt and Wayne Osborne plus two conversions and a penalty by the latter earned Sefton a 22-12 Division Two success over Crewe & Nantwich.
Southport accounted for Oldershaw 22-12 and Ruskin Park beat Dukinfield 22-14 but Ellesmere Port did not have a good trip to the Isle of Man losing 45-18 to Vagabonds.
Wallasey stretched their winning run to 11 games in Division Three as they blanked the University of Liverpool 43-0.
