Micky McIlorum and Jay Pitts avoid bans for fight in Challenge Cup match

Correspondent
Catalans hooker Micky McIlorum and Wakefield forward Jay Pitts have avoided suspension for fighting in their side’s Challenge Cup tie at the weekend.

The pair were sin-binned after clashing during the Dragons’ 36-24 sixth-round victory at Huddersfield on Saturday.

Both were charged with a Grade A offence of punching but the Rugby Football League has confirmed the sin-binnings were deemed sufficient punishment after a disciplinary review.

Catalans’ Mickael Goudemand has also avoided suspension for a minor offence.
