McGuinness Back in U21s Win

Salford City Reds Senior Academy side put in a great performance to beat the Wigan Warriors for the second time in 72 hours.

The Reds rolled over Ian Millward’s juniors 18-8 but could take other huge plus points from the game as well.

Aussie star Kevin McGuinness played his first 40 minutes since rupturing knee ligaments last year and came through well much to the delight of the watching Alan Hunte and Scott Naylor.

“Having Buddha back was the most pleasing aspect of the night” , Hunte told us.

“It was a great win and greta performance against an Academy side that is always strong. They had Bryan Fletcher who has played State of Origin and Test football in their side and he’s not a bad name to have in your Academy line-up.”, he continued.

The Reds had several under 18 players in the likes of Rathford, Jordan, Turner, Briers and Adamsom as well as a host of first teamers making up the numbers including Stewart, Langi, Charkes, Jonkers, Stringer and Clayton who had a great game.

Hunte joked: “They all did well but in the first 40 minutes the first teamers probably made more mistakes than the young lads”

Wigan Game Set To Beat the Snow

Despite freezing temperatures and a heavy frost, tonight’s game against the Warriors is still scheduled to go ahead.

With the sun out the frost is beginning to thaw and if conditions stay the same ground staff are confident of the fixture going ahead.
