Widnes 3rds 19 – 40 Oswestry 2nds

Widnes 3 started their 2019/20 season hosting Oswestry 2. Both teams started strongly, testing each other in the scrums and lineouts and fast backs play. The visitors took the lead early on, fortunate to be awarded a try despite being beyond the end of the pitch. Widnes kept their heads held high and took control in the forwards, successfully trying some new lineout moves to get some points. The backs were persistent in their attacking runs and overall the team played as well as they could, winning several penalties through good tactical tackles and mauls.
