Warrington Junior Academy vs Bury

Warrington Junior Academy enjoys good win against Bury.

Warrington 29 - Bury 0

Warrington's U17s continued their excellent start to the season on a hot Autumn day at Walton Lea Road. Bury started brightly and it was clear that their forward pack is one of the stronger 8s in this league. It took a drop goal from captain Newans to break the deadlock and this after 15 minutes of fiercely competitive rugby. Once again Warrington's electric back division were the ones to finally cross the whitewash, with Miller going over in the corner. As the Warrington pack began to find some parity, they were able to exert more pressure on the Bury defence and following some strong running Newans was able to score the first of his brace of tries. Bury remained committed through out the game and a very physical fixture was played in a fantastic spirit, with both teams retaining good discipline.

In the second half, Warrington scored two more tries, through Miller and Newans, however Bury were unfortunate not to register a score and were held up over the line on three separate occasions. All round this was a great game of rugby played by two strong teams who showed great credit to their respective clubs. From Warrington's perspective, they go into the weather weekend with a 100% record, but also with the knowledge that there are many areas of improvement  to be worked on in training.
