Although Ashley Haynes was sent-off on 20 minutes – when Dewsbury were 6-0 up – for an alleged swinging arm the Knights went on to record a 21-16 victory to pick up their first league points of the new season.
Photographers Scott Merrylees and Rob Hare were at Normanton’s Graveyard ground for the game and here’s a look at their images:
