There was some debate over the final score but what wasn't in doubt was the comprehensive manner in which Hoylake demolished their opponents in the second half.
The main event was a fitting way to put the seal on a great day, seeing the newly refurbished clubhouse opened by the local mayor and member of parliament.
Despite at least half of the team enjoying themselves to excess at 1st XV regular, Richie Young's wedding the previous evening, there were no signs of an anti-climax as the hosts dominated proceedings. By my reckoning, the score was 46-0, but it looks like the referee reported otherwise.
