PREMIER DIVISION
By PHIL HODGSON
REPORTS of HUNSLET ARLFC’S demise may be seriously misplaced.
The reigning champions, who have spent much of the campaign in the drop zone – and who are still in the bottom three, but only on points difference from Thatto Heath Crusaders – served notice that they are looking upwards rather than downwards, with a place in the play-offs not out of the question after a third successive win, a highly-impressive 22-16 victory over leaders WEST HULL.
Wests, who travelled to Leeds seeking a fourth victory on the hoof, were boosted by an early try by Jack Watts.
However Hunslet ARLFC were 12-4 up by the half-hour, Jordan Gale converting touchdowns by Harry Dodd and Oliver Whitford.
