Sutton took the lead on 11 minutes and led 2-0 before Adam Case scored the only Widnes goal of the game on 18 minutes.

Evan Walker opened the scoring for Widnes in the 5th minute but Blackburn equalised 4 minutes later.

Two goals within 30 seconds of each other from Ben Roberts and Herbie Rolt then gave the Wild a 3-1 lead at the first period break.

A goal from Caleb Eddlestone just 33 seconds from the restart extended the Widnes lead and further strikes from Max Goodey (2), Jacob Foster, and a second for both Roberts and Eddleston saw the Academy youngsters cruise to an easy victory.
