Dewsbury-Batley 12 St Helens Schools u/11s 28

ALREADY crowned Lancashire champions, the St Helens lads produced an epic display to overcome their Yorkshire counterparts to claim the All England Schools Trophy.

An early score settled the nerves and from then on the local youngsters dominated the game and were never in danger of defeat.

The Yorkshire side though kept battling away and were rewarded with two late tries to give the final scoreline a more creditable look.

St Helens' tries came from Ashburn Alexander Finance man-of-the-match Shaun Magennis (2), Phil Whyte, Gary Wheeler and Chris McGrath, with Jamie Foster, Matthew Holding, Magennis and Wheeler adding conversions.

Andy Donovan, Mike Welsby, Tom Armstrong and Sean Forber also played major roles for the winners.
