Barnsley 0-38 West Leeds
There was a time when a visit to Barnsley would be a massive challenge but nothing phases this West Leeds side, writes Glenn Broadbent. With youth on its side this team is developing into one of the best to wear the blue and old gold.
Barnsley started off brightly but their attacks were closed down well by a tenacious away defence.
Tries from Calderwood x2 Betts, Booth, K Breakwell, Carpenter and 4 conversions from D Breakwell made up the 38 points.
Another bonus point win and West remain top.
