It was another win-win double for Bramley Buffaloes as the first team travelled to Dodworth Miners and came away with an impressive 31-12 victory, while the second team visited and defeated Ossett Trinity Tigers 40-24 on Friday night.
The Buffaloes playing in confident mood and buoyed by the return of Omar Al-Rawi after a decade long stint with NCL Premiership side Hunslet, led 10-6 at half time following tries by Butterworth and McFarlane and a goal by Connor McGill. Â
The second half saw Bramley move up a couple of gears to add two tries each from Al-Rawi and Jordan Wilson. McGill added another two goals and finished the scoring with a last-minute drop-goal. A full match report can be read here.Â
