Warrington Wolves Academy...12

Leeds Rhinos Academy...50

AFTER good victories in their opening two games the young Wolves were completely overwhelmed by a Leeds side, who it must be said were not as strong as previous Leeds Academy teams but were far superior to a very disappointing Warrington side.

Leeds opened the scoring on seven minutes with a converted try, but eight minutes later Warrington were level.

A well placed grubber kick from Jimmy Williams over the Leeds try-line was pounced on by Steve Maden for a try.

Jimmy Williams converted to make the score 6-6.

After that it was all downhill for Warrington as Leeds raced, with ease, into a 28-6 lead at half-time.

The visitors continued to dominate and on 70 minutes they were 50-6 in front having scored 10 tries with five of them converted.

Warrington completed the scoring when Jimmy Williams forced his way over from a play-the-ball close to the Leeds line and the same player converted to make the final score 50-12.

Team: Chris Malone; Chris Gordon, Steve Maden, Anthony Kirkham, Danny Williams; Kris Tickle, Scott Partis; Mike Owens, Jimmy Williams, Paul Alcock, Mike Callan, Tom Kilgannon, Liam McCarthy. Subs: Dave Watson, Leon Wilde, Chris Matthews, Mike Stout.

Next game is on Friday versus St Helens at Wilderspool, kick-off 5.45pm.

The game away at Halifax Blue Sox scheduled for Easter Monday was postponed.
