Warrington Once Again Submits To Experience

Aldwinians 2nd XV 33 Warrington 3rd XV 10

Once again, Warrington’s young third team found that there is no substitute for experience, as they were well beaten by a mature Aldwinians side, which had the edge in all departments except enthusiasm.
The Manchester side wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard, taking a seven-point lead within ten minutes when their heavy weight pack drove over between the posts. Warrington replied with a penalty through Andy Almond, playing out of position at scrum half, but Aldwinians soon came back to score a second converted try and take a 14-3 half time lead.
A Warrington come-back seemed on the cards when Alex Marland finished off six excellent pick=and-go phases with a try under the posts to allow Almond an easy conversion but this turned out to be a false dawn as the home side used their all-round superiority to notch up a further 19 points and earn a deserved win.
“This was a much-changed side, which lacked nothing in commitment” said captain Andy Almond. “And nobody showed more commitment than the Little family, of father Martin and his two sons Andy and the awesome Josh.”
