Poynton 12-15 Cheadle
An enjoyable game to watch between 3rd and 1st in Premier 1, Cheadle were mostly in control with Chris Brady dominant at the face, before a late Poynton run inspired by Sam Russell and Lacrosse The Pond import Mike DeNapoli kept the league leaders honest. Paul Flowers was in deadly form with 6 goals on 10 shots for the visitors, with Ady Bennett notching 4 from 4. Poynton could at least take consolation from winning the final quarter 6-3 and thus scoring more than Stockport did last week against Cheadle!
