Rugby League: Fax Under 21s demolish Featherstone with 12 try romp
Halifax U-21s 62 Featherstone U-21s 16 Halifax made it three wins on the bounce with a 12-try demolition of Rovers.
Full back Graham Charlesworth was outstanding for Karl Fairbank's side, scoring four tries and showing the form which brought him recent BARLA under 23s honours.
The half back partnership of Martyn Silcox and Shaun Garrod proved too much to handle for gallant Rovers. Garrod bagged an impressive brace of tries, including a sensational 80 metre interception outfit, whilst Silcox maintained his impressive form with a personal haul of 18 points.
Luke Varley put the visitors in front but Charlesworth hit back with two quick tries in the first quarter, Silcox adding the first of his seven conversions.
A Scott Wilson try and Aaron Dobek conversion levelled the scores, but 'Fax pulled away as Charlesworth, Silcox and Garrod crossed for a 28-10 interval lead.
The second half was one way traffic with Josh Barlow scoring his first try for the club before Charlesworth matched Garrod's superb try with a sparkling long range effort of his own.
A tiring Featherstone conceded further tries to Andy Bowman, James Kershaw and Chris Holroyde before Steve Dooler replied for Dale Wynne to convert.
A deserved try at the death from Stuart Proctor capped a fine evening for the hosts.
SIDDAL are holding a Masters Festival (over 35s) at their Chevinedge Ground tomorrow when visitors will have a chance to look at the new clubhouse adjacent to the pitches.
The games start at 2pm and teams from Siddal, Dudley Hill, Driglington, Brighouse and Saddleworth are among those taking part.
