Featherstone Rovers maintained their perfect start to the 2022 Betfred Championship season with 30-12 win against London Broncos on Saturday evening.
Brian McDermott’s side have now won all four of their Betfred Championship outings while opponents London remain winless.
Fullback Brandon Pickersgill continued his impressive try-scoring form as he opened the point-scoring for Rovers. Hooker Dean Parata hit back to draw London level just after the midway point of the first half.
Gareth Gale’s try after 30 minutes ensured the hosts had a six-point lead at half-time.
Gale would double his account in the second half but once again the Broncos replied in quick fashion via halfback Oliver Leyland.
Pickersgill would follow Gale in notching a brace before Craig Hall rounded off the scoring with three minutes remaining.
