FINCHES COMPOSE PERFECT SYMPHONY IN 18-12 OVERTURE

Following their convincing opening day victory last weekend, Workington Finches dug deep to grind out their second league win in succession as they overcome a resilient Garstang 18 - 12 in Lancashire to go top of North 2 West.

Nicole Stewart and captain Charlotte Bowman both registered their second tries of the season with Stewart completing a "full house" by adding a conversion, a penalty and a drop goal.

The Finches were scheduled to meet Altrincham Kersal at The Ellis this weekend, but with the club withdrawing from the league, Workington's next fixture will be away to Burnley on Sunday 14th October.
