Wyke did get the opening try of the game as captain James Cullen broke through to score under the sticks, Josh McGuinness with the conversion. Wyke again would cross the whiteline in the next set as Tevin Campbell showed great strength to get the ball down outwide, Josh McGuinness with a good conversion. An error from Wyke from kick off gifted Queensbury the ball but a knock on followed by back chat saw Wyke in good field position. Young hooker Callum Scott forced his way over the tryline to extend Wyke's lead (18-0). Great defence again from Wyke forced Queensbury to knock on and would get the 4th try of the game as Stuart showed his strength to get over the tryline again Josh with the kick. Another try soon followed a good break from Nathan Marchant saw him offload to Jack Poertus who fed the ball back to Nathan who found Conor Laverick with the offload to see the young forward cross for a great team try.
