Flowing move from Batley sees the pass go to ground. Joe Keyes first to react and picks up and goes the length to score near the sticks. 4-0 Bradford.

Try: JOE KEYES
Miss Goal: OSCAR THOMAS 0/1

Batley try. Missed conversion. 4-4.

Sironen causing problems with his offloading game by the sounds of it but the rest of the team don't pay attention to it.

Penalties killing us. Have money on us not scoring a try goinh up hill

oh dear: kicked and touched by Bentley

James Bentley kicks from 20m out. Ball bounces. Looks like it's going dead and someone pats it back and Bentley scores. 10-4 Bradford.

Try: JAMES BENTLEY
Goal: OSCAR THOMAS 1/2

Bulls Twitter suggesting that it was Chamberlain who scored.

Poor last tackle play from Thomas gives Batley possession. Through penalties they find themselves in the Bradford 20m. Right to left play sees Batley score. Conversion good.

Bradford (10)
Batley (10)

Batley score through Scott. Conversion good.

Bradford (10)

Bradford get the ball back. Campbell makes a fantastic break, beats the centre and passes to the supporting Macani who scores. 16-16

Try: ILIESS MACANI
Goal: OSCAR THOMAS 2/3

Ainscough breaks and easily beats Thomas, passes to Scott who scores. Conversion good.

And Brambani slots a drop goal to make sure Batley get over the line.

FINAL SCORE

Lost again then. Roll on the end of this joke of a season.

I'm surprised you've kept going as long as you have Mark to be honest.
