They started brightly but their endeavour up the slope brought only two scores. The first saw right winger Danny Schofield squeeze over in the corner. The second saw the forwards produce some quality ball for the backs to feed off. The quick ball saw full back Jack Crowder go over and run behind the posts to make the conversion easier. 12-0. A missed placed cross kick by Will Sharratt and a desperate lunge by Tom Bedlow nearly brought further scores, but a Sharratt penalty extended the lead. The second period saw the visitors revert to a tight forward game but met solid resistance from the Dale pack. Two surging runs from prop, and captain for the day, Jordan Lord brought him two tries. A third from wing forward JJ Ashley late on completed the scoring with Sharratt adding two conversions. This Sunday the side has no fixture but resume action next Sunday with an away trip to Marple.
