South Leeds Stadium, Sunday
In a classic game of two halves North Wales Crusaders held on for their first ever win at the South Leeds Stadium against coach-less Hunslet.
The Crusaders, confident after their victory over Keighley Cougars last week had all the early pressure and took the lead when former Hunslet man Brad Brennan wrestled his way over.
Hunslet seemed to be still suffering from the hangover of losing a 24 point lead last Sunday at Coventry Bears, and it was North Wales who extended their lead on 18 minutes through impressive second row Gav Rodden.
