ROCHDALE HORNETS 24 KEIGHLEY COUGARS 56
JOSHUA CHAPMAN
Crown Oil Arena, Sunday
KEIGHLEY COUGARS became only the third side in the history of professional Rugby League in Great Britain to record a perfect league campaign with victory at Rochdale. Following in the footsteps of Hull FC in 1978-79 and Dewsbury Rams in 2009, the achievement, whilst exceptional, came through hard work against a Hornets side depleted to just 14 available players.
And their cause wasn’t helped after just six minutes when Fuifui Moimoi was forced from the field with a head injury, although thankfully the forward would return.
