Warrington Destroy Bowdon

Warrington 3rd XV 24 Bowdon 2nd XV 5

A strong Warrington third team ignored their position at the bottom of the league and destroyed a Bowdon outfit currently lying six places above them.

Warrington began well when a flowing movement led by Dan Johnston was finished off by the ubiquitous Mark Tickle. The same centre then crossed for a second try when he took a quick tap penalty and slalomed through the defence to touch down and give his side a 10-0 half time lead.

Bowdon got onto the scoreboard ten minutes into the second stanza with a driving try but Warrington soon hit back when Olly Giles picked up the ball in his own half and demolished three would-be tacklers to power over. Darren Norman converted. The game was closed out with ten minutes to go by an exquisite chip from talented Jamie Thompson, which found his half back partner Dan Reid and the scrum half scuttled over. Darren Norman added the extras to complete the scoring.

“Another great performance” enthused skipper Tony Fretwell. “Today we were lucky enough to have a backbone of real experience to support the enthusiasm of the young lad and this combination proved unstoppable.”
