FLEMING’S DOUBLE DELIGHT FOR RAMS
DEWSBURY RAMS 17
WHITEHAVEN 8

Tetley’s Stadium, Saturday
No way through for Michael Knowles
A TRIO of tries either side of half time swung this hard fought opening Championship encounter Dewsbury’s way, as the Rams gained some measure of revenge for being dumped out of the Challenge Cup at Whitehaven just 15 days beforehand.
Former Salford man Jason Walton was handed a first outing in Rams colours off of the bench, while one half of the most experienced half-back pairing in the professional game - 39 year old Paul Sykes - shook off a hamstring niggle which forced him off just before the end at the Recreation Ground.
