BATLEY BULLDOGS 32
NEWCASTLE THUNDER 18
JAMES MEADOWS scored two tries to help Batley force a second win in three matches and condemn already-relegated Newcastle to a 21st defeat in 27.
The visitors held the lead at halftime, but the Bulldogs chalked up four unanswered second-half scores.
Batley started the brighter and opened the scoring after twelve minutes, when Alistair Leak sold a dummy before darting from behind the ruck to score between the posts. Dale Morton added the extras.
