Leigh Miners made it four wins out of four against Hull Dockers this season after another hard fought victory against the men from Tower Grange. Miners opened the scoring with a try out wide from winger Tom Bradbury, Bradbury converting his own try to give the host a 6-0 lead. The lead didn't last long as Dockers replied with a try under the posts to bring the score level at six apeice. A Liam Coleman break put miners back in front, breaking down the right he sent centre Keiran Dainty over in the corner, Bradbury converting giving the score 12-6. Danny Jackson added a third miners try charging over from close range, Bradbury once again converting and adding a further penalty goal miners looked to be going into the sheds with a 20-6 half time advantage but silly miners play at the end of the half allowed dockers to have good field position and they took full advantage scoring right on half time to bring them within ten points giving the half time score 20-10 to leigh miners.
The try before the interval seemed to lift dockers as it was them who enjoyed the better of the third quarter putting miners under alot of pressure scoring two tries to bring the score level at 20-20. With dockers on top it looked like they would go on and take a vital two points but that all changed when Tom Bradbury kicked miners into the lead with a penalty goal and from that miners never looked back scoring two tries late on from Adam Thomason and a great solo try from Luke Murfin, Bradbury converting both goals giving miners a 34-20 victory.
