National One: Barking 12 Macclesfield 48

Barking slumped to their 10th successive loss with a heavy defeat at the hands of Macclesfield at Gale Street to put them bottom of National One.

The hosts had Stephen Hihetah and Tom Yellowlees on loan from Championship side London Scottish in their starting XV, while they have also brought in prop Jordan McIntyre.

And despite Hihetah and McIntyre scoring debut tries, they were outclassed by a strong Macclesfield side.

Fergus Mulchrone scored two tries in the opening seven minutes for the visitors, but Hihetah marked his debut with a try after Sam Reynolds popped the ball to the Scottish loanee who scored in the corner..

But back came the Blues and tries from Matt Owen and Charlie Mulchrone pushed them further into the lead, through prop McIntyre going over from a line-out.

But Macclesfield dominated the second half and ran in 24 unanswered points to take the victory.

Charlie Mulchrone scored another two tries, while Josh Winney added a penalty and replacement Josh Fowles finished Barking off.
