MATCH REPORT<br />
HALTON FARNWORTH HORNETS ‘A’ 0<br />
WOOLSTON ROVERS ‘A’ 38<br />
<strong>Woolston</strong> <strong>Rovers</strong> ‘A’ produced another clinical<br />
display to comprehensively defeat a game<br />
Halton Farnworth Hornets ‘A’ side in the NWML<br />
Division Three on Saturday afternoon in a<br />
match that was curtailed after fifty minutes due<br />
to the home side being reduced to ten men<br />
through injuries.<br />
<strong>Rovers</strong> opened the scoring after twelve<br />
minutes when stand off Olly Hands scored. Full<br />
back Liam Sullivan converted and then six<br />
minutes later impressive hooker Adam Files<br />
went over for a try. Sullivan added the<br />
conversion.<br />
Just before the half hour mark Files went<br />
over for his second try before centre Olly Parr<br />
moved <strong>Rovers</strong> further ahead with a<br />
touchdown that was converted by Sullivan and<br />
two minutes before the break substitute Ben<br />
Moore scored. Sullivan added the conversion<br />
to make the half time score 28-0.<br />
A minute into the second half Files went over<br />
once again to complete a fine hat trick. Sullivan<br />
converted and almost immediately Parr scored<br />
his second try to make the score 38-0, which<br />
is the way, it stayed as the referee called time<br />
early as a duty of care to the home side.<br />
The Man of the Match was awarded to <strong>Rovers</strong><br />
prop forward Matt Clarke. He was very well<br />
supported by hooker Adam Files and stand off<br />
Olly Hands.<br />
After the game <strong>Rovers</strong> ‘A’ coach Andy Penny<br />
said, “It wasn’t ideal with the referee calling<br />
the game off early but I fully understood why.<br />
They only had a bare thirteen to start with and<br />
with losing three players through injury he felt<br />
it was the safest thing to do. I was delighted<br />
once again with the attitude that the players<br />
shown and the way they controlled the game<br />
throughout.<br />
Some of our attacking play in the first half was<br />
outstanding and hopefully we can continue to<br />
play in that vein moving forward.”<br />
