Stockport were overpowered by a strong Otley side who condemned Port to their third straight National League 2 North defeat by winning 41-12 at Cross Green.
The race for the top four continues to hot up whilst it seems that it is just Hull Ionians and Ampthill who are fighting for the title. The bottom half is also starting to get tight as we enter week 13 in National Two North.
This league never fails to surprise us every single week which proves what a fantastic division this actually is. Once again, it delivered this weekend serving up some edge of the seat action.

With the attention before the game on Chester Rugby Club on and off the pitch, that quickly turned to some stunning action across National Two North as we saw thrills, spills and upsets.
