Macclesfield director of rugby and head coach Geoff Wappett hailed his side’s versatility as Blues won 40-10 against Coventry at Priory Park.
The threat of a second postponement in as many weeks turned out to be premature as Blues put on another dominant performance at Priory Park. Another six tries and a fifteenth bonus point of the season means we are now just two points behind second place in National One which is a remarkable effort!

It went down right to the wire, but ultimately Blues came up second best in a tense and nervous affair against Tynedale. Though not pretty at times, it was a match very few in attendance could look away from as it was on a knife-edge for most of the match.
