BETFRED LEAGUE 1

DAN Nixon ran in five second-half tries as Rochdale Hornets romped to a 70-6 victory over Newcastle Thunder on Sunday afternoon.

The Hornets were on the front foot straight away, aided by a kick-off that went straight into touch from Joseph Bradley. They marched up the field, in a move that ended with Max Flanagan darting through a gap to score inside two minutes.

Lewis Else was the architect and finisher of a great breakaway score after 12 minutes as he danced out of his own 20m area before going the length of the field, turning down the support of the league's top try-scorer Luke Forber to cross.

Luke Nelmes crashed over from close range soon after to firmly put the hosts in the driving seat, extending their advantage to 18-0 with the help of Flanagan's third successful conversion of the afternoon.
