VIKINGS MAKING A LATE CHARGE
SAM BROCKSOM Millennium Stadium, Saturday
FEATHERSTONE ROVERS 14 WIDNES VIKINGS 30
WIDNES extended their winning run to four matches as they overcame an in-form Featherstone side to reduce their gap to the play-offs, at least temporarily, to just one point.
In a conservative opening quarter from both sides, Featherstone tried to lay a platform, but too many unforced errors stopped any chance of momentum.
Calum Turner and Ben Reynolds couldn’t quite have the effect that the injured Ryan Hampshire has had in recent weeks, with poor kicks not providing any sort of threat.
