WINNINGTON Park rugby league team gained sweet revenge for their early season defeat to Crewe Wolves.

Rick Smith scored a hat-trick of tries as Park romped home by 56-20.

The win put Park in third place in the Conference after just five games.

Park's players are loving every minute and they had this game sewn up by the break.

Andy Butler opened the scoring following a fine run by captain Darren Shaw.

Park dominated possession but could not add to their tally and Wolves levelled proceedings.

But their parity ended soon after.

Smith helped himself to his first try after scrum half Pete Leonard played him in.

Mark Cosgrove burst through the Crewe back line to score next, while Tones again completed his kicking duties.

Adam Bown was next over the line, before new signing Ian Ward waltzed past the Wolves' defence to send his team in 28-4 in front.

Geoff Leech added his name to a lengthening list of try scorers straight after the restart.

Crewe notched a consolation try, but normal service was resumed when Butler bagged his second.

Andy Wood set up Smith to seal his brace, then Bown doubled his tally following more fine work from Wood and Smith completed the rout seconds from the final whistle.

PARK: Lloyd, Bown, Cosgrove, Butler, Leech, Ward, Leonard, Clarke, Tones, Wood, Smith, Joseph, Shaw, Cartman, Davies, Dennett, Bell.
