Big shock on day one was Portobello’s first defeat after a run of five wins – a thumping 13-4 hammering by Southampton, whose lead scorers were Jacob Graham (6) and Jackson Mullins (4).
Sam Joyce’s extraordinary scoring feats on behalf of Hucknall continued. He bagged seven, stretching his total in just six games to 39, as Castleford were outplayed 19-8!
