Crusaders Colts maintained their unbeaten record in Darwen, Lancashire after beating the Conference National’s bottom side East Lancashire Lions 66-14.

The young Welshmen were always in control and the result was never in doubt. A Ben Flower try opened the scoring after only five minutes, the first of his three tries. Elliot Kear, Tom Burnell and Lee Williams each scored a brace while Josh

Hannam, Mark Wool, Ceri Young and Lloyd White also crossed. White also kicked seven goals.

Bramley Buffaloes, who Crusaders Colts play next Saturday at the Brewery Field in the first game of a double-header before the first team take on Batley, lost 22-14 at Warrington Wizards, giving the Colts a two-point lead at the top of the table.
