Derby day delight as Wigan go top!
Wigan welcomed Orrell to Douglas Valley this weekend in the latest edition of the ADM Lancs Cheshire leagues for what was to be a feisty local derby. A bumper crowd were in attendance as rivalries and friendships were renewed.
It was Orrell who took the early spoils, taking advantage of good field position and some Wigan indiscipline to slot a penalty after only 4 minutes of play.
Wigan settled into the game but were stifled more often than not, by a tenacious Orrell defence. It was a rare Orrell attack that found the amber and black in Wigan territory before they were once again awarded a penalty in front of the sticks. The penalty was cooly taken and the away side had 0-6 lead after 20 minutes.
