Bolton RUFC never looked like ending the undefeated run of the league leaders.

The tough and competitive Avenue Street pack quickly found that they had met their match and De La Salle swiftly swept into a commanding lead through their bruising forward play.

Although Bolton stood their ground valiantly, the opposition managed to continually off load in the tackle to move forward and cross the whitewash.

Bolton managed to hold their own for long spells of the game in attack but they only had a solitary penalty try accompanied by a penalty and conversion from Lovgreen to show for their efforts.

Bolton's limitations in certain areas this season were continually exposed by the analytical attacking play of the opposition fly half Sam Vincent, who enjoyed a dream day on his return to Bolton.

The 2nd XV made the long journey into the hills of Pendle and came away with a 43-20 defeat to second a team in the league.

Bolton started cold with a number of late arrivals and never recovered.

With the 3rd XV having no game, Bolton 4ths travelled down the motorway to Blackpool and enjoyed a great day in the sun to record a 47-20 point victory over the seasiders.
