Tysul Bevan was well on his way to setting a Club record for drop goals in a season when the first team travelled to Old Whitchurchians. During the game Alan Evans, although playing in the game, found himself in conversation with a spectator whilst the forwards got on with a bit of ‘arm-wrestling’.As the bout neared its end Alan turned to the spectator and said “watch this, he’ll drop a goal”…the kick duly went over. Much to the wonderment of the spectator; that conversation was repeated twice more, as Bevan achieved a record, of three drop goals scored in one Macclesfield game. But Bevan was not the only Drop Goal King as Extra A (thirds) fly-half Keith Oliver scored 22 points (including a drop goal) against Old Whitchurchians on his way to scoring a record 100 points in the season for the Extra As. Creditable though Oliver’s scoring was Bevan bettered Oliver’s season tally in drop goals alone!
