What a win for the Rams! The Heavy Woollen bragging rights are Dewsbury's! They've beaten Batley 24-4.

And there goes the hooter! Dewsbury beat Batley 24-4!

The conversion hits the post. And that should be that.

Batley get on the scoreboard right at the death. Joe Burton is over.

Turner adds the extras.

Batley are down to 12 men as Adam Gledhill is sent to the sin bin for his involvement in a fracas after that try.

22-0

The dual reg player from Huddersfield Giants spots a gap and is over.

22-0

It gets better and better for the Rams - and worse for th Bulldogs! Billington is over again!

Into the final 20 minutes here. The Rams have been rampant in the last few minutes to take the game away from the Bulldogs. Can they finally muster a response?

18-0

Turner makes no mistake this time!

18-0

What a great team try this is. Turner's looped pass finds Whiteley, he steps back inside to find Ollie Greensmith who lets Billington take over to crash over the line from close range.

Another one for Dewsbury!!! Jack Billington is over!!!

16-0

The Rams are oozing confidence. They's just knocked in a 40-20. Glorious.

Batley have it all to do now! Although, if I remember correctly, they were 12-0 down on Boxing Day and came back to draw 12-12...

12-0

Turner is off target though with the conversion. It stays at 12-0.

What a solo effort from Whiteley! He steps out of the line to intercept a loose pass and he runs 80 metres to touch down! Brilliant stuff!

12-0

Dewsbury extend their lead!!! Perry Whiteley with an interception try!
