Man of the Match:?
A new era has begun at Bolton Mets Rugby League Club with new player/coach Paul Willcock taking charge. Two weeks ago it began with a victory over Langworthy, the Mets winning 32-14, but on saturday it was a local derby against Westhoughton Lions.
A bright start to the game by Bolton put them in early control with both wingers Adam Ryan and new signing Paul Harrison going over in either corner. A reply from Westhoughton was quickly followed by a mistake from the scrum which led to stand in captain Darryl Leech scampering onto a loose ball to score under the posts. Another try from Westhoughton was followed by Adam Ryan's second to give the Mets a 20-10 half time lead.
On a hot day, the players fitness levels were put to the test and unfortunately this led to some scrappy play from both teams. A fight back from the Lions narrowed the score to 20-18 midway through the second half, but further tries for Bolton from winger Michael Horrobin and prop Lee Bennett secured a hard fought victory for the Mets, 32-18.
