Campus take over at the top
2:47pm Friday 8th March 2013 in Sport By Daniel Sharpe, Correspondent
WARRINGTON campus men’s rugby union side went to the top of the table as they toppled north west rivals Manchester Met 24-17.
The hosts took the lead in the opening five minutes through Sam Viller but the visitors hit back immediately thanks to Ian Cooper.
Manchester then extended their lead with a try from Mark Frenchie and took a 12-7 advantage going into half time.
A try each from Andrew Stone and Matty Brown turned things around for Warrington but Cooper’s second of the match cut the deficit.
Viller then put the result beyond doubt with a late try to end the match at 24-17.
