SALE doled out a harsh lesson to Park's fledglings.
Team boss Paul Gibson called on nine Colts and two graduates from last season's youth set-up and they struggled against superior opponents.
The chunky Sale backs started early and were five points to the good almost immediately from the kick off, adding another two before the break.
Park's inexperienced side upped their workrate after the interval, halting the scoring during the third quarter, until the Manchester men finally broke their resistance from a penalty.
At the other end the hosts could not break through.
"All in all it was a better performance than last week," said Gibson afterwards.
"We gave Harry Stubbs a brief cameo at the end and all the Colts impressed, especially considering they had a crunch match against Stockport the following day."
Lock forward Henry Knowles just pipped centre Callum Hewitt for man of the match.
