We beat Featherstone Rovers at the Summer Bash to make it two wins on the bounce. Chrissie Nettleton with the pick of the tries going coast to coast in a great 90 metre move. Congratulations girls.
Featherstone did launch a fightback with scores from Kayleigh Bulman, Brogan Churm and Chelsea Senior, plus two Grace Hepton goals.
And despite a second try for Churm and an Andrea Dobson goal, Twbill and Nettleton sealed the tie for Bradford late on.
