Orrell took the lead after precision passing.

Moor responded when Nathan Lowther dummied and went over by the posts, Jacob Flathers converted.

Dewsbury then got on top. Excellent pressure saw the ball moved wide and Jordan Foster showed good hands for Sam Tattersfield to score in the corner.

Just before half-time Orrell scored to reduce the interval deficit to 10-8.

Moor stretched their lead when a clever kick from Lowther was caught by Tattersfield to score.

Lowther then showed great skill to collect his second try, which Flathers converted.

Orrell hit back late on but Moor won 20-14.

MoM was Lowther, closely followed by Kyle Goodhind and Cameron Bruce in another top performance.
