GM's Notes:
A much closer game than the previous in-house derby match, with the 13-strong Altrincham team leading the 20-strong Blackburn team for most of the game, but it was ultimately the numbers game that won through. Performances to be proud of from both teams, an exciting and closely fought Aardvarx match, arguably the best game that we have played in thus far!
