Wharfedale came within a whisker of winning at Chester in National Two (North) on Saturday, but a late penalty ended their hopes of victory in a 24-22 loss. The Yor k shire side made a strong start to the match but couldn't turn that into points, and it was instead their hosts who drew first blood with full-back Gethin Long touching down in the seventh minute. Davidson scored and converted a try of his own on the hour mark and added a 68th minute penalty to give them a 22-21 lead, but a late penalty from Reeve handed Chester the win and left Wharfedale with just a losing bonus point. The win moves them up to sixth and closes the gap on their rivals above, although Billingham continue to lead following a 60-10 win over North East rivals Alnwick.
