The Mustangs and Spartans Rugby League Clubs took to the field at the Elspark Sports Grounds on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Both clubs are from Elspark which created some local derby action.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Spartans had a good start and took total control early in the game, but failed to sustain it.<\/p>\n

This enabled their local rivals to turn the tables and take the lead.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

It was an action-packed match as both teams fought for dominance but Mustangs proved to be stronger and their dominance was well rewarded with a 52-30 win.<\/p>\n
