DIVISION TWO
LEADERS EAST LEEDS’ 100 per cent winning record was very much on the line when, with time running out, hosts DEWSBURY CELTIC were on level terms at 12-12 and seeking to extend a seven-match winning record.
But a spilled ball close to the home line gave Nehemiah Mensah the chance to grab an opportunist try on 72 minutes that, with Luke Littlewood’s conversion, secured an 18-12 win and the double after the 28-12 success in Leeds.
Celtic had led 12-0 as the hour-mark approached, Jordan Hirst having converted Casey Canterbury’s two tries. Easts, who now have one hand on the championship trophy, rallied with tries by Ryan Woofitt and George Clarke, plus two Billy Evans goals.
