BULLS BATTLE BACK TO DOWN VIKINGS
WIDNES VIKINGS 16 BRADFORD BULLS 28
JAMES GORDON DCBL Stadium, Sunday
BRADFORD kept up the pressure on the Championship top two by outscoring Widnes five tries to two.
A big play by Waqa Blake with quarter an hour to go, a one-on-one ball steal after Widnes had just squandered an opportunity at the other end, enabled Luke Hooley to break the 16-all stalemate, before Jayden Okunbor’s interception try sealed the win late on.
The first try of the game came from deep for Widnes, Joe Edge stepping and then fending to break free from inside his own 10 metres, and a couple of tackles later, Dec Patton’s shallow kick was caught by Ben Condon, who offloaded to Dan Murray to fall over the line.
