Walsall see off Shrewsbury
Walsall moved to within striking distance of the top three in Midlands 2 West (North).
A 32-3 success at Shrewsbury lifted the Delves Road men to within five points of third-placed Leek.
Walsall completely dominated the opening quarter of the contest and had the win wrapped up inside the opening 15 minutes after establishing a 24-0 lead.
Jack Crowhurst was the first man on the scoresheet, charging in from 30 metres, with Roger Weston adding the conversion.
And the visitors didn’t have to wait very long for a second score as they struck again from the restart.
Louis Vale, Will Hennessey, Rob Angell and Weston combined to free Zach Edwards, who glided over the line for a converted score.
A Weston penalty increased the advantage before Edwards added a fine solo try, which was again converted by Weston.
The second half proved to be a frustrating one for the visitors, as they wasted several good openings. But Weston added another penalty before they finally grabbed a fifth try through Tom Aston.
Burntwood drew 20-20 with Moseley Oak.
In Midlands 3 West (North), Eccleshall lost 19-17 at Linley, while Wednesbury went down 32-3 at Telford.
Aldridge maintained their Midlands 4 West (North) title push with a 23-16 win at Essington.
