WIZARDS' A team will be hoping to build on their first win of the season when they travel to face TotalRL.com Rugby League Conference Cheshire Division leaders Liverpool Buccaneers next week.

Wizards defeated Runcorn Vikings 50-16 at Eagle Sports Club on Saturday but face an in-form Buccaneers side on either Monday or Tuesday, with the date of the match still to be confirmed.

With the first team out of action, the A side were able to field club captain Chris Mellor and he converted John Whelan's opening try.

Luke Worsley then crashed over before Dave Kelly raced 60 metres to score between the posts.

Danny Shaw then scored twice, with the second an 80-metre solo effort, to make it 28-0 at half time.

Vikings pulled a try back after the interval but Shaw completed his hat-trick soon afterwards and player-coach Matt Wilson added another try.

Nick Walsh then crossed from dummy half after another Runcorn consolation effort, with Adam Williams bringing up the half century in the closing stages.

Wizards: Jack Johnstone; Danny Shaw, Matt Wilson, Scott Davidson, Adam Williams; Chris Mellor, Ryan Cosgrove; Luke Worsley, John Whelan, Bob Merrill, Simon McEvoy, Matty Barber, Dave Kelly. Subs: David Keane, Nick Walsh, Tom Cahill, Billy Maunder, Andrew Giblin, Adam Bond.
