Broncos lose as Rams stretch winning run

With Dewsbury having won their last three away matches against Doncaster, Batley and Workington, while London Broncos had been unbeaten at The Hive so far this season, something had to give.

Broncos broke the deadlock in the seventh minute when Iliess Macani galloped free down the wing, reversed the ball inside to Hellewell who was able to touch down under the sticks.

Glenn Morrison’s men always looked likely to score and did when Pryce stepped forward, palmed away a few tackles to tumble over the line.

Tom Hemmingway levelled the game with a perfect conversion from an equate angle. Fifth and sixth in the table at the start of play the match was neck-and-neck going into half time.

Dewsbury came out flying for the second half and took the lead for the first time in the match through a Beckett try and Kieran Hyde conversion.

Broncos’ star man Macani jinked his way over the line in the 50th minute to bring the match back level.

The Rams’ Hyde converted a simple penalty before Aaron Brown found a gap in the Broncos back line to score. Hyde converted to make it 20-12.

Macani scored a consolation try at the death.
