Saints return the compliment

During an evening match at Mill End last week, Sun hammered four goals into the St Helen's net and their opponents could only reply once.
On Saturday it was a different story.
Sun, fielding several reserve players, were given a football lesson by the visitors who gained their revenge and threw in an extra goal for good measure.
Nevertheless, the home team had a major part of the game as regards attacking, but St Helen's were far the stronger finishers.
Sun's defenders were not entirely blameless and bad marking helped to set the visitors on the road to victory.
St Helen's were two up within 13 minutes, but the home side managed to keep their goal intact for the rest of the half.
But Sun could not hold out forever and soon after the interval St Helen's increased their total with a further two goals.
Sun's efforts were rewarded when after 79 minutes Eddie Rolfe found the net with a hard ground shot.
The visitors regained their four goal lead with another goal soon after this.
