Rugby League Division Four: Stainland Stags 40 Brighouse Rangers 6
STAGS gaved debuts to Jake Bottomley, Mark Graham and Scott Healy after late withdrawals and served up a feast of rugby in poor conditions.
Dan Williams scored four tries, Paul Davies two and young Tom Williams one while Sam Oddy landed five goals from six and Ross Holroyd one from one.
Adam Charity, Tom Cocking and Tom Williams had solid games in the backs for Stainland while fullback Bob Simcock was solid in defence. But it was the forwards who laid the platform with Scott Taylor, Mark Doughty, Sam Moorhouse and Joe Norcliffe to the fore.
Brighouse were best served by Nicky Barraclough, John Collins, Chris Parkinson and William Collins. They kept plugging away and centre Ben Collins scored a well worked try.

(Division Seven)
Despite missing five regulars, Park kept up their great form with another comfortable away victory.
Martin Schofield and Mark Oldroyd were pulling the strings which saw Craig Binns score a well earned hat-trick of tries closely followed by John Davies with two.
The best try was saved until well into the second half when the ball was swung left where a galloping Adie Taylor crashed through three defenders to score.
