With no senior matches on the weekend due to the 6 Nations matches the focus centred on the Junior section at Southport Rugby Club.
Southport RFC Senior Colts travelled to Bolton RUFC for the semi-final of the Lancashire Trophy on Sunday afternoon. The conditions were perfect for a great day of rugby and there was definitely an air of expectation from the travelling contingent.
Southport RFC were quick out of the traps, when some slick handling led to an unconverted try from the winger Ben Gillman. However, Southport’s early dominance was thwarted slightly due to a yellow card, which was then followed by a red card incident. The event saw a player from either side exiting for an ‘early bath’.
Southport composed themselves and the tries started to roll in, with Danyon Huggins crashing over from close range, which was converted by Harrison Carney. This was quickly followed by a well deserved try from Ollie Ball after some nimble footwork from Zak Day-Johnson. Carney added the two points. The 1st half was rounded off by a superb individual effort from Ollie Roper, which was converted by Carney to bring the score line to 0-26.

The second half again started well for the visitors when Keenan Parr saw an opportunity and took a quick penalty to cross the line. Carney added the two points.
Unfortunately, complacency set in and Southport dropped their guard for a short period when Bolton crossed the line twice with one being converted to bring the score to 12-33. However, Southport composed themselves again and finished the match off in style with Parr bagging his second of the day in typical sniping fashion. The conversion was added by the multi-talented George Brain, to bring a final scoreline of 12-40.
The ColtsTrophy Final is on Sunday 24th April 2022.
