Senior Colts: Winnington Park 22 Wirral 5

WINNINGTON Park's Senior Colts remain on course for a cup double.

Richard Elliot's young guns had too much firepower for their Wirral counterparts at Burrows Hill, scoring all their points in a first half blitz.

They now host Leigh in Sunday's semi final.

The hosts ran in four tries before the break to overcome opponents who fought right up to full time.

But Park started brightly in swamp-like conditions and, after a dazzling break from stand off Tom Brennan, Andrew Evans was able to crash over under the posts.

Calum Hewitt added a conversion.

Shaken, the visitors fell further behind when Dan Thorpe dived over in the corner after a quickly taken penalty.

Wirral's woes worsened when their indiscipline saw one of their forwards consigned to the sin bin and they conceded once more with him out of action.

Park stretched their lead with another well-taken try, this time authored by Ryan McKibbin.

And he turned provider minutes later, breaking up the blind side to feed Henry Knowles for his side's fourth score.

The second period saw only one try when sloppy defending allowed the visitors to score out wide.

"We were comfortable winners," said Elliot afterwards.

"Some big tackles after half time made sure they never had a chance to get back in the game."

Kick off this weekend is 2pm.
