Wolf pups prove to be invincible
IAN RIGG Halliwell Jones Stadium, Saturday
WARRINGTON WOLVES 32
LEEDS RHINOS 18
WARRINGTON crowned their magnificent academy season by winning the Grand Final and collecting their much-deserved trophy.
The Wolves youngsters completed an unbeaten campaign, winning all 12 matches in the regular season plus two play-off encounters, to claim the club’s first age-grade title in 13 years.
But it was an excellent display too from Leeds, who made Wire fight for the prize.
Both teams made strong starts testing out each other’s defences, but Leeds made the first handling error on five minutes in their own 20 and it proved costly from the scrum when a lovely, floated pass from Ewan Irwin found Cameron Cooper and he crossed on the left for the try.
