OLDHAM St Anne's under-11s won 30-6 away at Saddleworth Rangers.

Four further tries arrived after the break for Saints through Alex France, Jamie Ashton and a pair of long-range efforts from Regan Croft.

Rylands under-nines looked to be well-set for an away win at St Anne's when holding a half-time advantage of five tries to two.

Ethan Chiappe (three), Danny Fish (two), France and Alfie Baldwin grabbed the other tries.

St Anne’s under-eights lost 10-two at Halton.
