This was the Hoods first home game this season after several away games. The win keeps Ollerton seven points clear at the top.

Grimsby came with a strong squad and played good rugby. It was close at half-time with Grimsby scoring a fine try and Ollerton’s captain, Jake Brennan, sin-binned for ‘over zealous play’.

But the Hoods had the edge and ran in five tries through Danny Rich, Braiden Lee, Kingdavid Kayode, Jonny Brannan and David Wilson.
