As the year draws to a close, we look at five of our most memorable games over the past 12 months.

Pilkington Recs 24-6 Skirlaugh
We start with a convincing victory over fellow relegation rivals Skirlaugh. Fullback Jonathan Frodsham grabbed two tries as well as tries from Centre Mark Ashton, Scrum Half Daniel Lynch, Prop Forward Samuel Molyneux and utility Alex McClurg completed the scoring a much needed victory for the Pilks.

Pilkington Recs 36-24 Wath Brow Hornets-
The Pilks picked up a much needed victory in this try fest. Fullback Ryan Hilliard, Centre Mark Ashton and Winger Jake Hodson all scored two tries each and Hooker Alex McClurg completed the scoring for the Recs. This victory was certainly one of the clubs better, especially considering they were playing a team with playoff aspirations.

Pilkington Recs 30-24 Leigh Miners Rangers
Derby day really is when these boys turn up. Two tries for Winger Hodson again, as well as tries for Scrum Half Lynch and Utility Daniel Halsall and Michael Garrity completed the scoring in one of many derby days to remember for the club

Leigh Miners Rangers 14-32 Pilkington Recs
There is nothing better than a victory on derby day. Especially away from home and that's exactly what the Pilks did in their basement battle against Leigh Miners Rangers. Centre Frodsham scored two tries to go with others from Fullback Hilliard, Winger Hodson, Stand Off Gregory Smith and Loose Forward Thomas Roughley completed the scoring and this completed a league double over the Rangers.

Pilkington Recs 50-22 Wigan St Patricks
Another St Helens- Wigan derby ending in victory. This time, it was against St Patricks, famously the club where Sam Tomkins earned his trade before joining Wigan Warriors. Eight tries, and eight different scorers for the Pilks. Fullback Hilliard was at it again, as was Winger Hodson and Stand Off Smith. Also on the scoresheet was Winger Daniel Filson, Scrum Half Lynch, Prop Forward Jono Peers, Hooker Ryan Liptrot and Second Row Forward Garrity completed the scoring on what was a memorable day for the Red, Amber and Black.
