England steamroll Ireland in Euro final

England 36 Ireland 12

Ireland trailed England’s Super League youngsters 24-0 after 24 minutes but rallied bravely to make a game of it in front of a 3,582 crowd at Warrington’s Halliwell Jones Stadium yesterday.

Man of the match Paul Reilly gave England a dream start with two tries in the first 17 minutes thanks to some superb support play and strong finishing by the Huddersfield full-back.
