Result: North One Play Off

Durham City 1st 13  Stockport 18 

Saturday 26 April 2008 

Another season of North 2 East beckons for Durham City, as the travelling team from Manchester were deserved winners of this North Two play-off match.

While Stockport were dominant in the first half, City’s defence was excellent against a pacy back division, and all the visitors had to show for it was a drop goal by Tom Eaton.

A penalty by City’s Arnie Stevenson levelled it at half-time, as the hosts came more into the game. The game was evenly balanced at 3-3, but fine tries by Greg Newton and Eaton, one of which Wroe converted, set Stockport on their way to North One.

Eaton dropped a second goal and and whilst City were 'camped' on the Stockport line, which resulted in a good Metcalfe try, converted by Stevenson, as City pressed at the end, the visitors were well worth their win.
