WIGAN ST JUDES 16 WOOLSTON ROVERS 24
(NCL 04/06/2022)
Woolston Rovers made it back-to-back wins with victory at Wigan St Judes in a closely contested
National Conference League Division Two encounter at Parsons Meadow, Wigan.
Rovers opened the scoring in the fifteenth minute when second row Dan Fearnley made a fine
break and after a repeat set the ball reached Fearnley once again and he scored on the right.
Stand off Theo Holt converted and then eight minutes later hooker Adam Files made a forty metre
break before finding Holt in support so score on the right.
St Judes replied on the half hour when a mistake by Rovers allowed centre Calum Palmer to
pick up a loose ball and go through a gap to score in the corner. Loose forward Danny Cassidy
converted from the touchline and then four minutes before the break a kick on the last tackle from
stand off Josh Yates was collected superbly by Cassidy to score on the left and make the half time
score 10-10.
Twelve minutes into the second half St Judes had full back Dec Parkinson sin binned for a trip
and from the resulting penalty Rovers made the extra man count as centre Olly Parr went over in
the left corner but four minutes later St Judes responded when Cassidy broke through some weak
tackling to score on the left. He added the conversion to put his side ahead for the first time at
16-14.
Rovers refused to panic and they started to build up some momentum and that paid off when a
fine solo run by full back Morgan Williams saw him score in the right corner to put his side back in
front and shortly afterwards St Judes had Yates yellow carded for dissent and with three minutes
remaining Rovers made sure of the win when loose forward Ryan Brown found A Files who went
over for a try. Holt added the conversion to complete a 24-16 success for the Green & Gold men.
The Man of the Match was awarded to Rovers hooker Adam Files. He was very well supported by
prop forwards Harry Files and Ryan Hickman.
