Widnes wilt in Vase
Dec 10 2007 by Our Correspondent, Liverpool Daily Post
TWO LATE converted tries put paid to Widnes in the Senior Vase.
It was never easy for the sides in the saturated conditions.
A Peter Wright try, and the conversion and a penalty by Andy O’Neil, gave Widnes a good start before Rossendale landed a penalty in reply.
The visiting pack paved the way for two tries in the third quarter plus a goal before skipper Paul Borg levelled the scores with a hard-earned try.
Extra time seemed likely but Widnes lost their way in the closing stages of the game as their defence wilted against sustained pressure from the visitors.
