On Saturday 6th December Macclesfield first XV lost at home to near neighbours Davenport. In itself not a remarkable or notable feat but the game was played after the Annual Club dinner on the night before. Of three teams only the seconds recorded a win, and sadly there were a number of absentees from those games. Of those that did turn up few were ‘better for wear’ and the Macclesfield Express subsequently carried a report of ‘excessive noise from the club’ and ‘complaints from neighbours’.
