Featherstone Rovers scored three tries in the final 15 minutes to seal victory in an excellent advert for the Kingstone Press Championship against Halifax. Will Sharp, James Cording and James Mendeika all crossed to overturn a 12-20 deficit against a Halifax side who had big performances from Ben Johnston and Andy Bracek. Featherstone coach John Bastian said: “I thought that Halifax certainly came here and tested us – it was a close call. We found some momentum in the last 15 or 16 minutes of the game and scored three tries to secure a very good result. I was delighted with the resilience and attitude of the players in that period of the game.” Rovers players Mendeika, Ben Hellewell and Tim Spears all stood out, while they also had significant contributions from Cording, James Lockwood and Jack Bussey.
