England took the U18 Four Nations title after beating runners-up Wales 34-0.

The English dominated the match and were 24-0 up at the break as Wales couldn’t do a Four Nations double at Widnes.

Jake Lerigo had the first chance for England, but he was stopped in his tracks just a metre from the line, causing him to drop the ball.

Zak Bennett did eventually go over the line in the 12th minute to give the hosts the lead. Max Fleary converted well.

Dan Wilds nearly scored a try back for Wales but was stopped short of the line on the final tackle of a set.

Following that, a length of the field set culminated in Trent Ruddy scoring England’s second try with Fleary again adding the goal.

England continued to dominate as quick fire tries from Fleary, then Rio Walker, plus two goals from Fleary put the half-time score onto 24-0.

It took 14 minutes for England to add to their score. Ethan Gaffney ran over for their fifth try and Will Randall converted.

And with five minutes to go, Connor Hall charged through to put the icing on the cake for England.

“We saved our best performance to the end for this winner takes all game” commented Gary Hewer, England Coach. “The best thing about the performance was our defensive effort and keeping Wales to a zero!”
