NURL 1sts – 46
Liverpool Uni – 4
NURL, proudly sponsored by Accenture, were comfortable winners in their first outing of 2012, putting 46 points past a lowly John Moores side.
Despite being forced in a number of changes ahead of kick-off, by way of exams and injuries, The Owls got their first try within a matter of minutes. Petite second rower Dave Chats cruised over beneath the posts after a break from returning loose forward Micky Ward.
NURL 1sts – 31
Sheffield Hallam – 24
The Owls put Hallam to the sword for the second time this season after a 31-24 home win on a bitterly cold day at Cochrane Park.
The AU’s most beloved team, sponsored by the ever supportive Accenture, got back to winning ways this week after making an uncharacteristically slow start to the season, though they made life hard for themselves for long periods of the match.
Sheffield Hallam – 18
NURL 1sts – 24
NURL made amends for last week’s disappointment with a hard fought 24 – 18 away win against Sheffield Hallam.
The Death Machine’s fresh-faced team headed to Sheffield with a score to settle, having recorded their only loss of last season away to Hallam and were keen to avoid a similar fate this time around.
