Hoylake went off to the better start. They dominated possession for the opening ten minutes and while the Ramsey defence held firm some early indiscipline saw them pinned back in their own half. Twelve minutes in however the defence cracked. Hoylake shipped the ball wide to wing Jake McConville and he showed some fancy footwork to dance over the line. Ross Jones converted for a 7-0 lead.
Ramsey lost second row Jacob Corteen with an ankle injury after twenty five minutes. His replacement Harry Parsons was barely on the field before Hoylake bagged their second try after some loose Ramsey play and some excellent support running. Jones’ conversion was missed and as half time approached the Merseysiders were 12-0 ahead.
As the first half came to an end Hoylake added a third try after a quick tap penalty. Jones’ conversion attempt was missed. With the final play of the half though Ramsey finally got on the scoreboard courtesy of a Dan Kelly penalty which left the Hoylake lead 17-3 at the break.
Any thought of a Ramsey revival was quickly snuffed out early in the second half. Hoylake continued their defensive press and quickly added two more tries to their tally. Ross Jones converted both and the lead was suddenly out at 31-3 with twenty five minutes to play.
There was no joy for Ramsey in the closing stages. Hoylake ran in two more, both converted by Ross Jones which gave them maximum league points and the Cheshire Bowl.
