WINNINGTON Park seconds closed to within two points of a promotion place after recording a fifth successive victory in the North West Intermediate League on Saturday.
An 11-7 win against University of Liverpool Vets at Burrows Hill helps the hosts draw level on points with their third-placed guests in Division Three South.
Northwich seconds lost 35-5 at their Crewe & Nantwich counterparts in Division Two South, but there was cheer for the Moss Farm club’s third team following a 27-26 win at home to Oswestry seconds.
It propelled Blacks, for now, from the foot of the Division Four South standings.
Meanwhile Winnington Park thirds went down 21-18 at Ellesmere Port seconds in Division Five South.
