Listen again: Dewsbury hold off Sheffield fightback

James Gordon

Dewsbury Rams held on to kick-off the Championship season with a 20-18 win over Sheffield Eagles.

The Rams had led 14-0 at half time, but found themselves 18-14 down by the hour mark after an Eagles comeback.

Dale Morton’s try in the corner on 63 minutes was superbly converted by veteran Paul Sykes, and that proved to be the final scoring act and the decisive moment in the match.

Dave Parkinson was there, alongside Steven Downes and Dan Fowler, to provide full match commentary live on the Love Rugby League Facebook page.
