KENDAL Colts became Division C Champions in the Lancs/Cheshire Colts League at the weekend with a convincing win over Sandbach.
Although the title is well deserved, the winning game proved to be an anti-climax due to the visitors being severely under strength, which gave rise to a competitive mismatch.
Early on the Sandbach forwards offered reasonable resistance and made Kendal work for possession. However, the tide soon turned and the home side became dominant, especially in open play.
Quick recycling at the breakdown and slick hands through the backs overwhelmed the Sandbach defence resulting in 11 tries being run in, complemented with five conversions.
Due to their league standing the U17s Colts will now enter the National Junior Colts Cup. The draw for the first game (North Divisional quarter-finals) will take place on Sunday, when the colts are due to travel to Leigh on Sunday to complete the league season.
