Key period of the game was the third period when Rotherham went from 6-6 to 9-7 thanks to a hat-trick by Neil Swainson (Photo: Trevor Hyde), who, along with another veteran, Paul Gregory, had an outstanding match.
The win lifted Rotherham level at the top with Southampton on ten points from six games, but Durham Palatinates' promotion hopes were dented by the British Army, who won 20-12. Tomorrow will be crunch day as far as the title and promotion are concerned.
Birmingham won for the first time - 15-6 against Newport, including three goals each for Alun Chesworth-Rickards, Ben Cartwright, Dan Mason and Cameron Dallow.
