Warrington Never Give Up In Bowdon Defeat

Bowdon 2nd XV 45 Warrington 3rd XV 5

A much-weakened Warrington 3rd team had no answer to the greater experience and strength of a Bowdon second team. Although they leaked six tries, they did manage the try of the game when Martin Tierney and Keenan O’Toole combined to score in the corner.

“It’s always disappointing to lose,” said stand-in skipper Rocky Turner. “But as a veteran, with many playing years on the clock, I was very impressed by the way Sam Bennett, Dave Bayliss and Alex Marland stood up to the front row challenge and I look forward to watching the development of young Jacob Riley, who could become a very talented stand-off.”
