Rhys Williams crossed for a converted Widnes try three minutes before break, but Sheffield hit back through Matty Dawson-Jones to make the score 6-4 after 49 minutes. Matt Fleming restored the six-point lead before the hour, and despite the Eagles scoring in the closing stages, Widnes held on to remain joint-top of the table.

Oldham 18-18 Batley Bulldogs

George Hirst came off the interchange as Oldham scored a converted try at the death to salvage a point at Boundary Park.

Oldham started strongly as tries from Jack Johnson and Riley Dean gave Sean Long’s side an 8-0 lead inside 15 minutes. Batley responded shortly after when Joe Burton crossed in the corner before Jayden Myers put the Bulldogs ahead minutes before the break.

Despite Johnson crossing again to level the contest at the interval, the Bulldogs built a six-point lead heading into the final 10 minutes. As time looked to have ran out, Oldham worked the ball wide to Johnson who completed his hat-trick in the corner with Josh Drinkwater adding the extras.


Swinton Lions 16-10 Whitehaven

Trent Kelly-Duffy featured for Swinton Lions in their League One victory over Whitehaven at Heywood Road.

Swinton opened the scoring inside five minutes through Jordan Paga and Dan Abram, but Whitehaven reduced the points difference to two with their own try soon after. Former Warriors youngster Harry Higham scored on the wing to extend the Lions lead to 12-4 at the break.

Despite the first points of the second half falling Whitehaven’s way, Higham rose highest to claim a kick and ground his second with three minutes remaining. Although the kick was unsuccessful, Swinton held on to start the League One season with two points.
