On one glorious weekend in October the rugby teams of Macclesfield (that is town and school) played and won 17 games of rugby. The cumulative result was played 17, won17, points scored 479, points conceded 43. This astonishing result was achieved by 5 Club teams beating Hoylake, 6 Kings teams beating William Hulmes, the Club’s Colts beating Heaton Moor, and 3 of the clubs mini/junior teams beating Kersal and Ashton on Mersey respectively. Rugby really was on a roll in Macclesfield.
