Widnes looked in control from the first whistle with the forwards making solid yards and the backs able to carve Prenton open with the ball out wide, all leading to the wids going two tries up early doors.

More solid play saw three more tries plus two more disallowed leading to a final score of 33-3.

Widnes’ tough defence and strong physical running proved too much for the battered bodies of Prenton with more and more players sadly succumbing to injury leaving the game finishing at 13 players vs 12.
