Super Saints romp past woeful warriors

10:25pm Friday 18th July 2008

Form team St Helens cruised to a 15th straight win and a crushing hat-trick of engage Super League derby triumphs against 12-man Wigan with an emphatic 46-12 victory at the JJB Stadium.

The Warriors were forced to play all but the first five minutes a man short after hooker Michael McIlorum was sent off by referee Ashley Klein for a high tackle on Great Britain winger Ade Gardner and Saints made them pay with an eight-try romp.

Scrum-half Sean Long scored one of the tries and kicked six goals from seven attempts on his 300th appearance for free-scoring Saints, who have piled up 214 points in their last four matches and run in 149 in three games against Wigan this year.

Poor McIlorum was forced to watch the latest embarrassment from the stand after being shown the fastest red card of the season.

Gardner grabbed two tries while Lee Gilmour, Keiron Cunningham, James Roby, Jon Wilkin and Matthew Gidley joined Long on the scoresheet.

Thomas Leuluai and Mick Higham crossed for the Warriors.

The Guardian sent its very own cardsharp, sports reporter ROSS DAVIES, to try and win the special prize by knocking out Mr Al Turk.

Guernsey and nearby Herm island are untouched by the major fast food and coffee shop chains, and amusement parks and arcades. Instead visitors are free to concentrate on the simple things in life like beaches, rock pools, coastal walks and relaxed cafés.
