DEWSBURY MOOR MAROONS 18 BARROW ISLAND 40
The Our League cameras focused on Division Two where Dewsbury Moor Maroons, who completed a £1m project to revamp their clubhouse during lockdown, hosted title challengers Barrow Island.
The first 28 minutes were scoreless as both sides tested each other on a warm afternoon.
Dewsbury Moor were halted short of the line a couple of times while Island fullback Jake Stockdale saw an effort disallowed at the other end for a double movement.
It was the visitors' defence that blinked first after Finley Bruce went close. From dummy half, a superb pass from skipper Brad Foster had Ash Boddys between defenders and under the posts. Foster improved to make it 6-0.
Just two minutes later home loose forward Brad Adams lost his cool in an altercation and was sinbinned and within seconds Barrow Island had their first try when Noah Robinson rampaged forward and offloaded superbly for supporting scrum-half Ian Irvine to score. Adam Jackson goaled.
The visitors took advantage of this period superbly with Dan Wright making a great run down the right before the ball came left and brother Aidan grounded despite the attentions of two defenders. Then with the final play of the half, Jackson and Stockdale linked for Nathan Sneesby to slide over. Jackson goaled both and it was 6-18 at the break.
Five minutes into the new half, an excellent pick-up from Max Anderson-Moore brought the centre his seventh try of the season from Blain Marwood's grubber kick.
This was a crucial time in the game and with Jackson at the hub of things, Island stretched their advantage. First, he sent Adam Ford striding in after 51 minutes. Although George Croisdale was held up at the other end, the visitors remained in control.
The last thirteen minutes brought four tries as first Island secured victory before Moor grabbed some consolation.
Jackson put Dan Wright through for a score and goaled before the try of the game. Max Anderson-Moore carved open the defence with some excellent footwork and pace that took him to Moor fullback Jake Butterfield and Marwood supported to go under the posts. Jackson potted his sixth goal to make it 6-40 and claim the player of the match, but Dewsbury Moor had the final say with wingers Jacob Beety and Jack Clarkson touching down for Foster to finish with three goals.
Following victory, Barrow Island go top of the division, just ahead of Heworth with previous leaders Crosfields falling to third.
