Dominant Dale prove too strong

By EDWIN WILLIAMS

Wharfedale…………3 9

 Hull Ionians………… 19

DALE produced another dominant display to see off the challenge of Hull Ionians.

Robbie Davidson took Dale into the lead with a penalty, followed by an effective catch and drive finished off by Robbie Collinson. Dale extended their lead with a try by Louis Verity.

Wharfedale's third try was superb. They won a scrum five metres from their own line. Oliver Cicognini and Josh Prell combined to run the ball up to half way, before Davidson broke through to score under the posts. He added the extras himself.

Hull started the second half grateful for a couple of mistakes by Wharfedale and got on the scoreboard through Alexander Forth.

Dale struck back with an unconverted try by Josh Burridge after good handling and support play by Cicognini and Sam Dickinson. Again, Hull were given the ball in Dale's 22 and Jake Ar mstrong picked up a yellow card.

I's scored another try from a catch and drive, with Forth grabbing his second and Lewis Minikin converting.

Cicognini added a fifth try for Wharfedale before Lucas Powell gave I's hope with their third try.

The scoring was finished off by Ben Patchett for Dale.
