North Wales Crusaders kept hold of top spot in Betfred League One following a commanding win over Rochdale in Round 11.
This included an Ollie Brookes hat-trick, Sam Wilde brace, and a single try from Jordan Gibson, as the Crusaders dominated the full 80 minutes.
There was a points fest over at the Alexander Stadium as Midlands entertained Swinton.
It was an even contest throughout, but late efforts from Matty Chrimes and Jon Luke Kirby would eventually put the game out of reach for the Lions.
Keenen Tomlinson was the star man for Dewsbury on Sunday, as the Rams ended Workington’s winning streak away in Cumbria.
The sides were locked in at 12-12 at the break, but a successful penalty goal by Jacob Hookem and a terrific Tomlinson try on the 68th minute, saw the Rams take the win.
Finally, Keighley Cougars racked up 52 points against Newcastle to claim their first victory of the 2025 league season.
Dan Parker, Jack Miller, Lachlan Lanskey, Brad England, Jordan Schofield and Jack Teanby were the Cougars' try scorers.
