Batley need one point to reach Qualifiers

John Kear’s men now need just a point from their last match of the regular season at Swinton next Sunday to join Leigh and the Broncos in the mix for a tilt at Super League.

The race for the two remaining spots will go down to the wire, with Bradford, Featherstone and Halifax all in the hunt on the final day.

Winger Shaun Ainscough and half-back Dominic Brambani scored two tries apiece for Batley, while Shaun Squires and Adam Gledhill got the others as Pat Walker kicked three goals and Brambani kicked a last-minute drop goal.

London, who trailed 14-4 at the break, scored tries through Elliot Kear, Ben Hellewell, Api Pewhairangi and Mark Offerdahl, while Australian scrum-half Jamie Soward kicked two goals on his return to the club.
