Championship Teams of the Week
Kingstone Press Performance of the Week – North Wales Crusaders
North Wales Crusaders responded to a heavy home defeat against Sheffield Eagles by shocking top four contenders Halifax 12-6 at The Shay.
First half tries to winger Rob Massam and prop Mark Offerdahl helped Crusaders to a crucial win.
Coach Clive Griffiths said: “We defended with pride and shape.
“It was a really good, old-fashioned game of rugby league.
“Mark Offerdahl led us from the front – we needed a crow bar to get him off the field.”
Kingstone Press Try of the Week – Tom Hodson (Doncaster)
Doncaster winger Tom Hodson provided a spectacular corner flag finish in his side’s 29-20 defeat at Whitehaven.
Hodson – starting his second spell at the club after signing in midweek – was fully in mid-air when he grounded the ball out wide.
Dons coach Paul Cooke said: “It was an outstanding finish.
“We had a scrum play on our left, moved the ball to the right and Tom scored right in the corner.”
