NEWLY-FORMED rugby league team Sherwood Wolf Hunt, based at Mansfield Woodhouse, played a friendly against Nottingham Outlaws A.

Two early injuries hampered the newcomers, who were 20 points down after 15 minutes and struggling for possession.

Wolf Hunt fought back and controlled the second and third quarters of the game, before they ran out of steam towards the end and lost 50-12.

Wolf Hunt competed well against a team that has been together for three years and will play in a higher league next season.
