Crusaders 78-14 Skolars
Celtic Crusaders qualified for the knockout stages of the Northern Rail Cup with a handsome win over London Skolars in their first home game.

Wales winger Paul Morgan scored a hat-trick as the Welsh side crossed for 13 tires at the Brewery Field.

The Crusaders' fourth win out of four in the competition came in front of a crowd of 1,421 in Bridgend.

Next week, the Crusaders are home to Lokomotiv Moscow in the Powergen Challenge Cup.


  • Celtic Crusaders coach John Dixon:
    "This was a great warm up for the Russian game. I was exceptionally pleased all aspects of our ball control and the performance in our defensive line.

    "Our aim today was to put on a display that would bring the fans back again next week against Moscow and I think we've done that.

    "We're excited to have the Russians here next week. I don't know anything about them apart from how well they did in Russia last year so I know they'll give us a good game."
