Featherstone Rovers proved too strong for the Bradford Bulls in a Easter Monday fixture. Both sides exchanged set for set early on, before Jack Bussey opened the scoring, with Joey Leilua following up with the second soon after. Featherstone turned on the style, as Ryley Jacks then slid over, with Jack Bussey grabbing his second soon after. Ben Helliwell crashed over, before George Flanagan forced his way over before the break for Bradford’s first score.

 After the interval, Connor Jones scored, and Ryley Jacks grabbed his second in quick succession, as Thomas Doyle grabbed a consolation. John Davies then pushed through to score, with Joey Leilua grabbing his second. Morgan Smith slid over late on for the last home score. Mark Dunning reshuffled his pack bringing back Elliot Hall and Michael Hoyle in for his debut after the heavy schedule. Bradford defended well early on, with Wallace having a try chalked off for a forward pass before Featherstone got going. Bussey slid over for his first of the evening, as Leilua caught a grubber kick to score.

 The evening got worse, as Bradford couldn’t stop the charge, with Jacks racing over straight after. Helliwell then crashed over to extend the home lead, but Flanagan barged his way through Kheirallah to score our first of the game before the half was over. After the break, Jones slid over from a penalty, with Jacks racing over again as Featherstone really showed their class. Doyle crashed over for a second Bradford score after good play from Patton. Davies then forced his way over, Leilua then profiting from an error to touch down, with Smith breaking through to complete the win for Featherstone.
