Rangers return to action with a win

YOUTH RUGBY:

SADDLEWORTH Rangers under-16s returned from their five-week lay-off to earn a 22-4 win over Folly Lane.

Folly crossed in the corner early on, but Chris Bolton levelled matters after 10 minutes.

Bolton touched down again and added the extras, before Ben White crossed and converted to give his side a 16-4 lead at the halfway stage.

Scott Booth crossed before the end, with White converting.

Rangers’ under-15s clinched a 32-22 victory over Shevington Sharks.

Shevington were ahead after eight minutes through a converted try, before James Fowles and Bowden Morgan touched down for Rangers.

A Shevington try just before the break gave them a 10-8 lead.

Rangers found their rhythm after the interval, with Joe Boulter crossing twice, and Sebastian Leech and Cameron Robertson grabbing one try apiece. Dominic D’Adamo converted on each occasion.

Shevington rallied with two touchdowns of their own.

The under-13s lost 24-12 to Blackbrook.

An excellent try from Harry Aaronson put Rangers in front, and he added the extras.

The visitors hit back and crossed three times before half-time, and a try shortly after the restart put Blackbrook firmly in command.

They added one more following a clever interception, before Jacob Ford crossed for the hosts.
