Wasps weekend in the North West was a mixed bag.

The Wasps busy weekend in the North West, started in Stockport on Friday night, before a trip to Burnley. A mixed bag, it has to be said.

HULL Wasps leap-frogged both Stockport and Burnley on Friday evening with a 74-64 win at Stockport Falcons. Wasps came from 11 points down in the fourth quarter to win the first leg of their double-game weekend.

HULL Wasps travelled to Burnley on Saturday afternoon in the second game of their double-game weekend but lost out 81-72 in a close game against Burnley Blaze.

Wasps, who were victorious over Stockport Falcons on Friday evening, started confidently and a close opening quarter ended 27-25 to the Wasps.

Burnley matched the visitors in the second period and took a narrow half-time 44-42 lead into the dressing room.

Burnley went on a strong run in the third to open up a 10-point lead over Hull who could not pull it back in the fourth quarter and ultimately lost to Malcolm Leak's side by just 9 points.

John Brignell top-scored again for the Wasps with 27 points, captain Jamie Goodwin scored 17 and forward Miles Anderson scored 12.
