BWhcSL: Round 4 Round Up

The Betfred Wheelchair Super League season continued across the weekend with Hull FC opening the round when they faced Leeds Rhinos on Saturday (13 June).

The Rhinos were prolific against Hull FC during their 100-16 defeat with a 48-0 lead at half-time.

Nathan Collins scored almost half of his side’s points, going over for a hat-trick of tries and kicking 16 goals.

Josh Butler added six tries, with Tritan Norfolk going over for four. Becky Wilkinson and Cam Hills each scored a brace.

Hull’s second-half responses came from Billy Swainger, Liam Stancliffe and Devon Smith, who scored the tries, with two goals from Josh Edwards.

Halifax Panthers hosted Sheffield Eagles in their second game of the season on Sunday (14 June).

The Panthers have been in blistering form this season having won all three of their previous outings with Sunday’s exploits no different.

They were 82-0 up on 36 minutes, with the rout starting early, when Jack Brown scored the opening try and Rob Hawkins converted.

Brown went on to score seven more tries in the next 32 minutes, with Hawkins contributing five, plus another goal, before Finlay O’Neill went over, with Wayne Boardman kicking his eleventh goal.

Tries in response from Chris Haynes and Sid Ramsey, both converted by Joe Wink-Simmonds, made it 82-12, and the comeback continued eight minutes into the second half when Luis Domingos scored the Eagles’ third try, with Wink-Simmonds converting again.

A Brown try and Boardman goal extended Halifax’s lead to 88-18 on 51 minutes, but Sheffield hit back again through an unconverted Domingos score.

But that was it for the Eagles, while Jordan Holt and Rob Hawkins added tries, Boardman converted the former and Finlay O’Neill completed the scoring with a field-goal.
