Betfred League One Round 3 round-up

Oldham registered their first win of the Betfred League One season in style after smashing West Wales Raiders 100-4.

They were 46-0 up at half-time before Callum Merrett scored the only for the Raiders with a try one minute after the break.

Oldham recorded 16 tries overall, with Owen Restall scoring four, Kian Morgan bagging a hat-trick and both Logan Astley and Liam Copland earning braces.

Swinton Lions extended their unbeaten run at the top of the table with a 64-22 win against Doncaster.

The Lions posted 11 tries with Jayden Hatton, Max Roberts and Jack Hansen all notching braces.

North Wales Crusaders are the only other side to have won three league games this season after winning 54-6 win against London Skolars on Saturday.

Jordan Gibson, Gavin Rodden and Tom Johnson all scored braces with Patrick Ah Van, Rob Massam and Brad Brennan scoring the rest in a dominant display and Leighton Ball scored the only try for the Skolars.

Newly-formed Cornwall suffered their second loss of the season, losing 60-14 to Midlands Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes scored 11 tries, with Jack Dawson and Hayden Freeman both scoring hat-tricks alongside a Matty Welham brace and tries from Sean Croston, David Foggin-Johnston and Brad Clavering.

After trailing 40-0 at half-time, Harry Aaronson scored Cornwall’s first home try before Adam Jones and Sam Snell added two more.

Elsewhere doubles from Zac Baker, Ben O’Keefe and Lewis Sheridan were enough to help Rochdale Hornets to go third in the table after beating Hunslet 44-20.
