Bulls pile the pain on coachless Batley

GUY ARMITAGE piled the misery on Batley by scoring a hat-trick of tries as Bradford proved too strong for a spirited Bulldogs outfit.
In truth, there should have been a wider winning margin than 26 points, but for excellent Batley defence and poor execution from the Bulls.
Batley arrived having seen coach Mark Moxon depart midweek following last Sunday’s 50-12 defeat to Doncaster, but the Bulls were not in a sympathetic mood as they celebrated Joe Keyes’ 200th appearance in a baptism of fire for the Bulldogs’ interim coaches Jaymes Chapman and Ben Kaye.
