Rampant Widnes

CHrIS BrIdGe and rhys Hanbury strolled in for hat-tricks as Widnes swept aside lacklustre Featherstone rovers 58-10 to maintain their fourth place in the Super League qualifiers.

denis Betts’ side made no mistakes with a stylish 11-try win.

All the damage was done early on with Vikings backs Hanbury, Bridge and Charly runciman helping themselves to doubles in a decidedly one-sided first half, which ended 34-4.

Featherstone had a brief reprieve, when Misi Taulapapa flew over in the corner, but that was as good as it got for Jon duffy’s outfit as highly rated 18-year-old hooker danny Walker pulled the strings for Widnes.
