After withstanding the early pressure, Crewe soon got into their stride and Kieran Anderson scored under the posts after a slick move through the backs. Three further tries from Matt Walker ensured that Crewe led comfortably 26-7 at half time, three of the tries converted by Calum Meakin.

It was vital to score first in the second half to maintain the pressure and Crewe did this with Ross Holland powering over the line to score in the corner. A late Try by George Spalding ensured that Crewe & Nantwich ran out winner by 36-14
