Travelled down the East Lance to Ashton yesterday to watch the Bears 'A' team take on league leaders Butrtonwood Chargers in a Division 5 game.Terrific defensive performance from both sides in the first half that saw just one converted try to the home team.Ashton held out for about 20 mins in the second but eventually the Chargers wore them down and scored 3 tries in the last quarter to take a good game 14-6.

I have compiled full results from 1898 up until 1907at the moment but tracking down league tables and aligning results is a nightmare as protests against ineligible players and early finishes were commonplace.Also got most of the regional cup results as well.Happy to pool any knowledge,have you any club photos from that era ? PM me if interested
