A 78th minute try from Aboo Migoda gave Ramsey maximum points in a hard fought battle with Oxton Parkonians in South Lancashire/Cheshire Division Three.
First half tries from John F. Watling (two) and Neil Long, plus a Dan Bonwick conversion, gave Ramsey a 17-3 half-time lead with Jack Fletcher pulling back a penalty for Parkonians.

A penalty from Bonwick gave Ramsey some breathing space and they threw everything into the closing stages when Migoda snatched the bonus point.
