Duffy hat-trick sets Hunslet on road to victory

The Hawks raced in four tries for a 22-0 half-time lead.

Gavin Duffy scored a first-half hat-trick with Danny Maun touching down just before the half-hour mark, and David March landing three goals.

Brooke Broughton turned the screw with a try for the visitors, goaled by March to make it 28-0.

Credit Hemel though as Jermaine Coleman, who also kicked a late penalty, and Stephen Bannister scored tries within five minutes of each other.

But Tommy Coyle landed a penalty in between and added a try to keep Hunslet in control.
