The Rams gained revenge for their narrow defeat in Lancashire last weekend with a comprehensive victory this time around, although the 0 – 0 first quarter score line did little to hint at the feast of points to come.
The visitors were the first on the scoreboard when David Mead connected with wide out Mark Sheppard from twenty yards out to go ahead 6 – 0 but this only proved to be a wake up call for the Rams. Andrew Noble blasted through a lacklustre Wolverine defense from all of seventy-five yards out to tie the scores, and then finished the next Rams drive by barrelling in from the one to leave the home side 12 – 6 ahead at the half.
With the game still anyone’s Noble drove another nail into the Lancashire sides coffin when his explosive pace left a trail of would be tacklers in his wake as he went in from sixty-eight yards out to extend the lead to 18 – 6.
In the fourth Steven Main and Steven Kane combined to force a safety and set the Rams on course to reel of twenty unanswered points. A Noble twelve-yard scoring dart was added to by a Blair McTague run from twenty-two yards out to put the game beyond the Lancashire side at 30 - 6. To rub salt into the Wolverines wounds McTague ran back an interception from thirty yards out to throw the Northern conference wide open.
