Rugby Union: Hoylake 6, Anselmians 13

Jan 21 2008 by Our Correspondent, Liverpool Daily Post

RELEGATION-THREATENED Anselmians shocked their local rivals in this South Lancashire/Cheshire One meeting.

The pack laid the foundations of victory in very difficult conditions at Melrose Avenue.

Sean Hatswell gained the only try of the day with Chris Wells converting and also landing two penalties.

Hoylake had to settle for two kicks from Steve Young.

Collegiate, in Division Two, lost 26-6 against Orrell Anvils while Southport took a bad-tempered affair against Wallasey 19-17.

Wallasey had two men dismissed but finished the stronger with late tries from Ben Edwards and Craig Moule and a Paul Lewis conversion.

Edwards also crossed in the opening period but Southport, with a converted try and four penalties, just made it.

In Division Three Parkonians fell 25-0 against Trentham.
