MARIE'S maintained their promotion push from National Conference League Division One.

Jude's must still be wondering how they lost after deservedly leading 18-6 at half time, despite an equalising try from Andy Benson, goaled by Lee Birdseye.

Marie's came roaring back with stand-off Dave Welsh outstanding. Darren McKinnon and Welsh powered over for tries in the first seven minutes followed on the hour by Sean Bennett.

Glynn Holland and Tony Kirwan completed the scoring with Birdseye converting a further three before the Jude's scored a consolation try.

The hosts ran in eight unanswered tries after the break from Peter Crosby, Mark O'Dougherty, MoM Peter Hyland, Chris Barr's second, Scott Harland, Jamie Walsh (2) and Tony Hannon's second. Paul Kirwan scored one of the three first-half tries for Marie's while Shaun Dourley converted eight.

Shaun Dawson's weaving opener was quickly followed by a converted try for Mark Hardman. The returning Chris Cartledge took a 90m interception for the third.

All-action prop Stuart Harland even found time for a field goal. Tom Halsall crossed before Michael Allen closed the first-half scoring.

Cartledge raced in for his second and Hard-man made space for Adam Millington to score before grabbing a second himself.

Ever-reliable Craig Dourley notched six conversions.
