Leeds started brightly with two early tries. The first came from centre Tom Boardman, who broke the line and ran straight over the opposing full-back to score a great try. The next try came through a lovely short-side play, putting winger Brad Pepper through. Although he still had some work to do, he managed to get the ball over the try line in the corner.

Burley, however, kept themselves in the arm wrestle and, through the work of their forward pack, managed to score a try of their own.

HT 10-5

The second half saw Burley start the brighter of the two teams, which was rewarded with a try shortly after the half began. As has been the theme of the season so far for Leeds, we were never out of the battle and kept chipping away at the visitors' strong defence. In the closing moments of the game, with the score tied at 10-10, Leeds’ pick-and-go was really starting to take its toll on Burley, who eventually cracked. This allowed hooker Josh Cassar to power his way over to grab the winner, which was converted by George Rayner.

FT 17-10

Elsewhere, our 2nd team made the short trip to Burley. This was another close contest, with our lads falling just short of the win after a late charge, the final result being 22-19 to the home side. It was another great showing from the team, who continue to develop and build week by week. Forward John Scott put in another impressive display, earning Man of the Match.
