Billy Hammond and Dominic Booth both crossed twice as the Halifax-based visitors claimed their tenth win of the campaign to move second in the table.

Taniela Bakoso, Chris Brooke, Daniel Williams and Ross White also crossed for the blue and whites, with six goals from Gavin Stead completing a good afternoons work.

The away side cruised into a 28-6 lead by the break and not even the dismissal of winger Bakoso could halt their progress.

The hosts replied with stand-off Nathan Conroy converting his own efforts in each half.

LEIGH MINERS RANGERS sit third in the table following a 34-24 home win over EGREMONT RANGERS.

Full-back Jonny Youds supplied a try and five goals for a Miners side that powered into a commanding 22-0 lead by half-time.

WEST HULL gave their hopes of avoiding the drop a boost with a 42-34 victory over ROCHDALE MAYFIELD.

Both sides finished with men missing as Mayfield saw Paul Brearley dismissed, with Wests having Edwards and Kerman red-carded.

Honours were even as WIGAN ST PATRICKS and LOCK LANE played out a 30-30 draw.

A try from visiting full-back Mikey Hayward – goaled by Danny Rowse – meant matters ended even, although the hosts will be annoyed at letting a 22-14 half-time lead slip.

Callum Butler, Adam Garlick, Richard Lupton, Nathan Fozzard and Aaron Dobek were the other Lane try scorers, with Rowse adding a three goals.
