Rossendale Senior Colts 66 - 7 Burnage

The visitors turned up with only eleven players, so Dale “loaned “ them two players to make it up to an even contest. Nevertheless Rossendale coasted to victory. Tries came from Jack Crowder,Jack Bibby, Nicholas Street, Matt Jackson, Tom Bedlow and one each from Sam Lowthian and JR Maher who both moved up from the junior colts to assist the seniors.

This wasn’t a true test for the valley side, but will no doubt face a tougher examination as they go into this Sunday’s crunch battle with second place Preston Grasshoppers.

Kick Off at Marl Pits is 2.00pm. Support Welcome.
