Three games took place in the Northern Rail Cup on Wednesday evening.
Doncaster attracted their lowest home gate in years (285) and then suffered further ignominy by crashing 60-0 to Barrow Raiders.
The Raiders scored ten tries in total and led 36-0 at half-time. Former Super League and NRL forward Ned Catic grabbed a hat-trick while Michael Knowles scored a try and kicked two goals. Jamie Rooney finished with a personal tally of 20 points from a try and eight goals while other touchdowns came from James Nixon (2), Zeb Luisi, Andrew Henderson and Nathan Mossop.
At Spotland, Rochdale Hornets went down to a seven try defeat against York despite trailing by just six points at half-time. Scorers for the Hornets were Liam Bostock (one try), Dean Hatton (one try, one goal), Craig Ashall (one goal). The visitors scored tries from Chris Clough, Jonathan Schofield, Brett Waller (2) while former Skirlaugh centre Lee Waterman took individual scoring honours with 20 points from a hat-trick of tries and four goals.
The other game played this evening saw Mark Astons Sheffield Eagles not only score the first points against Halifax this season, but beat the Northern Rail Cup favourites in a tight game. The final score - 13-6 indicted little between the teams with just one point being added in the second half.
Tangi Ropati and Jack Howieson proved the match-winners with tries while Johnny Woodcock added two goals and Craig Cook struck the second half drop goal. All previous high scoring Halifax could add was a try from Jon Goddard and goal from Lee Paterson.
Results:
Doncaster 0 BARROW 60
Rochdale 12 YORK 36
SHEFFIELD 13 Halifax 6
