Manchester/Salford 48-26 Civil Services (roughly).

We had 5 playing for Mancs and 2 playing for Civil Services. A few tasty hits, Civil Services did well against a much bigger side and were excellent in defence for the most - if the ball had stuck a few more times they'd have pushed Mancs harder. As it was, Mancs slowly pulled away as their size and better overall quality began to tell.

In truth, another scrappy game with lots of dropped ball and errors, but then these are temporary teams. Ref was on a bit of a power trip as well - very good for the most but frustrating at times.
