Despite two tries from England U18 International Lee Imiolek, a late try from Macclesfield’s Ian Lear was all that could separate both teams in a hard fought encounter.
Macclesfield took an early lead through the boot of Ross Winney but Marcus Jackson responded with a penalty before Winney again converted a penalty to retake the lead.
Macclesfield scored the first try of the game through Dan Baines, however the Grasshoppers responded immediately by driving over the line from a line out with Lee Imiolek putting the ball down for his first try.
Relied
After a second try from Macclesfield’s Fergus Mulcrone and a Winney conversion, the Grasshoppers again relied on the boot of Jackson to make the score 14-18 at half time.
The Grasshoppers started the second half the strongest and after a second Imiolek try and, after a penalty from both side, a tense finish was in store for the supporters. However a late try from Lear guaranteed the points for Macclesfield at the final whistle.

Do you think the Grasshoppers performance was dissapointing today?
