THE curtain came downon the rugby season forKing Edward and QueenMary School’s first XVwith a thrilling 24-17win over Bolton.

With 10 players mak-ing their senior debut,the result was in doubtuntil the dying mo-ments.

Flanker Luke Skyrmecharged down a clear-ance kick for the open-ing try and Grant Black-shaw converted superblyfrom wide out.

Bolton’s pressure re-sulted in two tries and a12-7 half-time lead, de-spite strong defence byskipper Harry Ormsbyand Kelham O’Hanlon.

Ormsby sent wingerKenji King diving in foran equalising try after astrong burst by full-backBlackshaw.

Again Bolton raisedtheir game and regainedthe lead going into thefinal quarter.

Lewis Williams, Ben

Holland and Dale Mar-tin made inroads intothe Bolton defence butcould not apply the fin-ishing touch untilscrum-half Tom Webbpowered through for atry which levelled thescores again.

Blackshaw’s secondoutstanding conversionput his side in front anda try by man of thematch Ross Collinssealed victory.

WHEN it comes to launch-ing a new elite centre fortalented sports studentsacross Wyre and Fylde, ithelps to have a real high-flier to do the honours.

So who better than for-mer Great Britain No.1high jumper Steve Smith,bronze medallist at the 1996Olympics in Atlanta, USA.

The former world juniorchampion from Liverpoolwas the keynote speaker atthe launch of the Leader-ship Academy at FleetwoodHigh School.

their skills in sports coach-ing and volunteering.

Smith told the studentshow their efforts can helpthe young athletes of the fu-ture.

LeylandWarriors 28Blackpool Scorpions RL U16 14SCORPIONS defied injuries toput in agallant performance.

Playing downhill in the firsthalf, they applied plenty of pres-sure but had only a penalty byscrum-half Anthony Livingstoneto show for their efforts.

The Blackpool side’s defencewas stretched as Leyland scoredtwice in quick succession,adding a third try before half-time to lead 14-2.

Hard-driving centre ZachWard led the way as Scorpionstook the game to their hosts play-ing uphill, and they were re-warded with a Liam Wilkinsontry.

However, two more tries sawthe Warriors stretch their lead to24-8, but Scorpions did not liedown as Josh Shearman, OmarFrederick, John Beattie, Joe Bul-lock and Ward continued toshow tremendous determina-tion.

They were rewarded whencaptain Wilkinson jinkedthrough for his second try andLivingstone kicked his third goalbefore Leyland completed thescoring.Scorpions team: Joe Bullock, James Gil-foyle, Taylor Ramsden, Zach Ward,Cameron Murray, Liam Wilkinson, An-thony Livingstone, John Beattie, MatthewEgan, Jack Swann-Connor, Omar Fred-erick, Harold Carr, Josh Shearman

HONOURS finished even afterfour Year 7 netball games be-tween Arnold and King Ed-ward and Queen Mary School.

The sharp-shooting ofArnold’s Josephine Box gavethem the edge in the A game,which they won 11-3.

Molly Betmead and HannahDennison attacked stronglyfor Arnold, while LauraStokes stood out for KEQMS.

In a much closer B match,Arnold recovered from 2-0down to win 11-8. Emily Brookwas outstanding in defencefor Arnold, while Eloise

Evans was the KEQMS starplayer.

KEQMS turned the tables inthe C games, winning 5-1thanks to excellent work inthe circle by Christy O’Neilland Bryonny Whittaker.

Becky Leversidge was alsoin fine form in defence, whileKatie Lawson and FrancescaClarke caught the eye forArnold.

Shannon Clare was excel-lent as KEQMS defied anArnold fightback to win the Dgame 5-3. Hannah Nutter andAnna Hood were Arnold’sbest.

Blackpool StanleyU14 0 Haydock 62STANLEY couldonly muster 12players against theoutstanding pro-motion-chastersand were gallant indefeat.
