Two hundred miles up country at Bolton, Hucknall completed their third win of the weekend – 14-9 against Durham Palatinates - to ensure a place in Championship 2 in the second half of the season. The teams were evenly matched until Hucknall scored six in the third period, including four by Sam Joyce (Photo: Trevor Hyde), who finished with a match tally of six.
Goals in the last two minutes by Reece Caunce, Mat Lawtey and Mark Lister earned Castleford a 12-8 victory in an otherwise close match against City of Birmingham. Andy McAllister (4) and Tom Andrews (3) led the way for Croydon, who beat City of Bristol 12-9.
