WOOLSTON ROVERS ‘A’ 54 LIVERPOOL LIZARDS 6
(NCL 30/04/2022)
Woolston Rovers ‘A’ produced an excellent display to claim a very big win over Liverpool Lizards
in the NWML Trophy at the Limestone Construction Field, Mon Sports Club to move into the last
eight.
Liverpool opened the scoring in the first minute when centre Taylor Clare broke free to score
following a penalty. He converted his own try but shortly afterwards they had loose forward Ollie
Cope sin binned for a professional foul and Rovers took advantage of the extra man as stand
off Chris Forster found centre Dan Griffiths who powered through the defence to score. Forster
added the conversion.
Just before the half hour Rovers moved ahead when a ball out from Forster found full back James
Tarpey in support and he raced through a gap to score on the left and then nine minutes before
the break pressure on the Liverpool line was rewarded when Forster put D Griffiths over in the left
corner to make the half time score 14-6 to Rovers.
Eight minutes into the second half a break by Rovers second row Craig Lawton found substitute
Aaron Barber in support and he found hooker Tom Gaskell who scored on the left. Forster converted
and then a break by substitute Tom Fagan put Rovers on the front foot and Gaskell found
scrum half Jay-Jay Catterall who put winger Dec Houghton over for a fine try. Forster added the
conversion.
Rovers were now in total control and their next try came when Gaskell went from dummy half to
score and then on the hour D Griffiths went over in the left corner to complete his hat trick before
he became provider as he put second row Cameron Davies over. Forster added the conversion to
the latter to bring up the half century.
The next Rovers try came soon afterwards as Gaskell scored his hat trick try in the right corner
and then Davies put D Griffiths over for his fourth try. Forster converted and then in the final
minute Gaskell, Davies and Barber combined to put Tarpey over and complete a fine 54-6 win for
a delighted Rovers ‘A’ side.
The Man of the Match was awarded to Rovers hooker Tom Gaskell. He was very well supported
by centre Dan Griffiths and full back James Tarpey.
