BLACKBURN made it 10 wins of 10 with an emphatic demolition of neighbours Fleetwood.

The league leaders were simply untouchable in the first half as they ran in seven tries for an incredible 47-0 lead at the break.

The home side clearly took their foot off the pedal in the second half with their eyes on next week's EDF Cup tie at home to Wirral.

But they still managed to cross for one more try in the second period.

The game started with a bang with Burn visibly determined to make a point and after a bright start, Jordan Pearson cruised over for the first score after some smart handling.

Skipper Paul Bleasdale coverted and the lead was soon extended when centre Richard Maudsley outpaced the home defence before co-centre Luke Elston rumbled over to make it 19-0 following a second successful Bleasdale conversion.

Maudsley added a second following a terrible sliced clearance from the clearly rattled visitors before man-of-the-match flanker Copping scored in the corner after the Burn pack had demolished a retreating Fleet scrum. Bleasdale added both conversions, the second a beauty from right on the touchline.

The hosts were still not done and despite being 33-0 they continued to attack. A sublime handling movement between forwards and backs allowed Pearson to get his second before winger Thomas went fully 80 metres to score after the visitors had had a brief period of pressure. Bleasdale converted both and the home side were 47-0 up.

At half time Burn knew the job was done and, with the stiff wind now in the visitors' favour, anticipated a more even second period. The Fleetwood team played with much pride in the second half and scored their only try after 50 minutes when outside half Turnpenny got through to score.

Burn took the opportunity to rest a few players but crossed the half century when a comical mix up in the home defence allowed Burn to drop on the lose ball in the in goal area to score their eighth try.
