 Crusaders hooker Michael Ryan breaks the Skolars defence |
Celtic Crusaders marked their first home game in National League Two with a 13-try demolition of London Skolars. Carl de Chenu led the way with four first-half tries, Tony Duggan grabbed a hat-trick and Karl Hocking a brace.
Jace Van Dijk, Michael Ryan, Lenny Woodard and Damien Quinn also crossed as the home side eased a third win over the Skolars this season.
The Crusaders gave Shawn Van Rensburg his first start since the forward joined from Newport Gwent Dragons.
Celtic Crusaders coach John Dixon:
"Any time you keep the opposition scoreless is a credit to you. "Some of the footy we played out there had a lot of flare and life which was good.
"We'll predominantly go with the same side to Sheffield on Easter Monday.
"That game will be a hard one to back up with just two days rest - we just go to rehab now and see if the lads are fit and well and hopefully we've come through this game without too many bumps and bruises."
