Tom Egan led the scoring with a 28-point haul as he went in for two tries and was on form with the boot, kicking 10 goals.

Chris Siddons, Ben Knowles, Morgan Punchard, Joe Herczeg and Craig Savage were the others to cross the line in a surprisingly one-sided contest.

It was in the second half that Lane really cut loose after they led 28-0 at the break.

The win kept them in the hunt for the League F title, although top of the table West Bowling remain unbeaten from seven games while Lane have won six and lost three so far.
