" A great afternoon for rugby at a fantastic facility here at Stanningley RLFC. Early exchanges were even as defensive attitudes took precedence.

Stanley began to make the metres down the edges with the forward pack of robust Richardson,  bulldozer Grimmett , controller Crawley, and the forever-industrious Bhuna Moffitt opening the spaces for Ledger, Grice, Nunns and Murphy,  with Crawley who went over in the corner on 7 minutes - conversion from Mr Reliable Danny Ansell. 6-0. Further pressure on 10 minutes saw Murphy go in at the opposite corner 10-0. Grimmett came off on 12 minutes with a bust lip, but soon joined the fold when mopped up by the physio. Stanley began to dominate and Jack Ledger went in for try number 3, 25th minute, kick from Ansell 16-0. Stanningley continued to chance their arm pushing the Stanley defensive line, but Stanley held as one and regained possession heading down field again. Murphy going over in the corner but knocked on in the 35th minute.

On half time Stanningley were in possession on the half way line but Moffitt on 1-1 bounced the ball out in tackle and Grice raced 50 metres on the edges going in at the corner. 20-0 HT.

From kick off Ansell kicked into touch to gain advantage in Stanningley territory and the pressure continued with Grice going in for his 2nd of the game 24-0. Shortly after, on 46 minutes Grice goes 80metres for his 3rd of the afternoon showing a clean pair of heels for his advancing years - Ansell kick 30-0. Stanningley were been overrun in the last quarter and Stanley raced in a further 3 touchdowns by Matthews on 48', Ledger on 60’ and Strafford on. 74’ Stanningley had a consolation try on 72’.

All in all a confidence booster coming into the business end of the season, overall some good efforts from the lads who continue their great run. Grice, Nunns, Richardson, Murphy, Moffitt, Crawley, and young Joel Walsh off the bench showed good stints throughout."
