Championship: Batley Bulldogs v Sheffield Eagles LIVE
Full time
Batley have produced a great fightback to secure a vital set of two points. They were 14-0 down but somehow got it to 14-12 before the break with converted tries from debutant Kieran Gill and Ben White. And late tries from Lucas Walshaw and Gill for his second, gave the Bulldogs a remarkable win.
TRRRRRRYYY
It’s a great move involving Butterworth and the impressive Woods and Gill, on this near left side, is as free as a birtd to cross. KTC.

It has started up again. Should be about five minutes left for Batley to hang on. But they’re on the attack again.

The stadium clock has stopped working. Not going to lie, unsure how long is left at the moment!

TRRRRRYYYY
Lucas Walshaw is over on the far side after a great White kick is patted back and Walshaw is there to convert!
16-14
Into the final ten minutes. It’s been all Batley in the second half. But they are still behind. Just.
12-14
