Warrington u15 54 Manchester u15 7

LEO Zheng’s hat-trick allowed Warrington’s under 15s to keep their Lancashire Cup hopes alive.

His treble led them to a convincing victory and formed part of a very thorough team performance in both attack and defence.

Christian Johnston scored twice, with Rorio Zheng, James Hartill and Jude Lightfoot also crossing for Warrington as they won despite having a man sin-binned.

"It's been a while since the full squad has been available,” coach Dan Johnston said.

“Whilst our shape in attack needs to improve, the work they do for each other in defence, even when going a man down will always keep us in games.”
