Wirral rack up a record

WIRRAL made club history when they rattled up a century of points against luckless Aspull in South Lancashire/Cheshire One League.

Their backs had been threatening to cut loose all season and sliced open an inadequate defence. Dan Harvey and Alistair Baker grabbed four tries each.

There were three for Tim Hodson and two apiece for Ian White and Matt Bennett. A penalty try added to the Aspull misery in a 102-5 mauling.

A trio of tries from Kevin Leadbetter and two from Andy Riley helped Widnes beat struggling Ruskin Park 50-33.

Anselmians are still battling to reach safety after a 39-20 home reverse at the hands of leaders Wilmslow.

It went pear-shaped for them after a good first half in which they scored all their points from Mike Chapman, Dave Edge and Martin Pilgrim tries plus a Chris Wells conversion and a Chapman drop goal.

Wigan stayed in the top four with a hard-earned 15-13 success over Sale but Hoylake again disappointed at Bowdon to lose 40-10. Steve Young and Jason Powell crossed.

Earlier in the week the Melrose Avenue side made first use of their excellent new floodlights in a run-out mostly for their youngsters against Romanian under-21 outfit Constanta, which just went the way of the visitors.

There is yet another break from league action this weekend in a stop-start season.
