FRIDAY NIGHT CO-OPERATIVE CHAMPIONSHIP

SHEFFIELD EAGLES 22

DEWSBURY RAMS 10

It is now three Championship games without a win for Dewsbury while Sheffield claimed their first league win at Don Valley tonight.


Pat Walker opened the scores for the visitors after 18 minutes with a self converted try before prop Mitch Stringer did likewise for the Eagles and added the goal. Samoan Tangi Ropati then put the Eagles ahead after 32 minutes only to see former Wath Brow wing Stewart Sanderson equalise four minutes later.

A Ropati penalty before half-time saw the Eagles in front at the break and they extended their advantage five minutes into the new half when Dane McDonald went over.

The game remained in the melting pot until the 73rd minute when Ropati crossed for his second try of the game and Stringer struck his second goal to confirm victory although the Rams finished within 12 points of their hosts to claim a bonus point.
