Leyland upped the ante in the second half and Adam Bluck was next to score, barging his way over between the sticks. Myles then scored a long-range try rounding the Culcheth defence and speeding away and in at the corner

Culcheth then scored but Leyland capitalised on some ill discipline from the visitors as James Broadfield floated a great ball over the top for Dylan Kenyon to squeeze in at the corner as the thriller ended in a 24-24 draw.

The U-11s side lost 42-24 at Crosfield Cobras. Charlie McDonald pushed over the line for the Warriors’ first try, followed by a conversion from him but the Cobras continued to dominate and increased their lead. McDonald added another try followed by a great conversion by Luke Williams to bring the score at half time to 14-12 to Crosfield.
