Morley 29 Middlesbrough 8: Bradshaw's try double puts the title within Morley's grasp

They only have to avoid defeat in their final game of the season against bottom club West Hartlepool and even if a shock defeat should happen, second-placed Stockport face a difficult match against third-placed Penrith.

Bradshaw, who, along with brother Karl, has come through the ranks at Morley since the Under-8 side, ran in two tries and kicked three conversions and a penalty to take him to 297 points for the season, the division's highest scorer.

His first contribution was to add the conversion to the 18th-minute try of Danny Chamberlain to put Morley in front after the visitors had taken an early lead with a penalty.

Karl Bradshaw went over four minutes later and Simon added a penalty to give his side a 15-3 lead at the break.

Morley continued to dominate the second half and Simon Bradshaw struck either side of Middlesbrough's solitary try to round off their home campaign with a result that as good as clinched promotion for the Maroons.
