We APR 2 9 NEW BRIGHTON Rochdale DIDSBURY TH 3 ASHTON U LYNE 3 were without several first choice players, who had taken the opportunity of what was 16 Northwich SANDBACH Northwich OLDHAM 23 originally a blank Saturday to book a weekend away so, putting a gloss on it, it was a chance to try some new combinations and players. We seemed rather overawed at the start and by half time were 42-15 down. But the nerves seemed to settle as a ‘can do’ Senior Colts (U19s) attitude emerged and four very good tries were scored, some of them involving running Raging Bull Senior Colts League : Division A the full length of the pitch.

Liverpool St. Helens were in town confidently expecting to extend their nine match winning sequence. They were nearly at full strength and contained both the league’s leading points and try scorers. The mercurial Greg Smith started the game with 221 points and winger Ian Stanley had fifteen tries to his credit. The experienced Phil Kearns led a sturdy looking pack, which had not been bettered in a long while. On the other hand, the Wolves were missing their two first choice locks and were having to adjust to life without the talismanic Ryan Parkinson at No. 8. There was something of a makeshift look about a pack which saw the recall of that old war horse Danny Jones at No. 8, Chris Lee drafted into the open side flanker position, a new second row pairing of Harrison Lewis and Dan Wright and two props,Jack Walmsley and Tom Hall, both still under 21. On paper anyway, the pack just looked too inexperienced, callow and under powered to deal with their opponents. Within a minute, Ian Stanley had added to his try tally by scoring in the corner and Greg Smith nonchalantly stepped up to knock the ball over the bar. The faithful feared the worst as five times more Liverpool St. Helens crossed for tries in the first half, shredding the gossamer Wilmslow defence, scoring at will it seemed with their backs and forwards superior in every aspect of the game. Tries were scored at regular intervals by Matty Cunliffe, Greg Smith, Mark McCulley, Phil Kearns and Paul Bamber and Greg Smith converted the lot.
