Thatto are just champion

In a re-match from the Challenge Cup Final earlier in the season Bradford and Thatto Heath faced off in the Premiership Play-Off Final.

Thatto Heath raced to an early 16-0 lead with a hat-trick of tries from Alex Simpson.

Bradford crossed for their first try on 23 minutes when Amy Hardcastle worked her way over the try line.

However, Thatto continued to dominate as they stretched their lead to 32-4 with two tries from Sammi Simpson and one for Emily Rudge.

Bradford never let their heads drop and Amy Hardcastle added another try to her tally and Shona Hoyle also crossed the whitewash.

However, Thatto closed out the game and the deserved win was capped off on the 75th minute when Katie May Williams raced over for the final try of the match.
