Fylde RFC won at Scunthorpe in National Two North on Saturday

A game that was to prove fast and often frantic started in that vein as Scunthorpe knocked on from the kickoff.

Alex Clayton sliced through from the scrum, finding Ben Turner on his outside, but with Kyle Macauley looking to have a clear run in, the overlap was ignored.

However, from the next phase, Danny Cassidy found Dave Fairbrother for a close-range try before converting as Fylde led 7-0 in the first minute.

Scunthorpe then failed to kick 10 from the restart, gifting Fylde more possession and territory, but a risky offload option went to ground.
