First blood to Heworth with a converted try looked ominous for the Bronocs – and a few faint hearts were seen to lower their chins.
But Beeston's response was immediate and good flowing rugby produced 4 tries in rapid succession, all of which were converted despite the swirling wind. Heworth crept in with a final converted try before the half time whistle.
Heworth were first off the blocks in the second half and ran in a try to remind the Broncos that they could not sit back and expect to win without a struggle. The strong wind prevented a conversion – and indeed, there were no further kicking points until the final try.
Good solid rugby and hard tackling gave the Broncos the platform for a succession of three tries without reply. Heworth then scrambled their final try before the Broncos capped their win with a further two line-crossings.
The scorer of the Broncoslast two tries was Lewis Brown.
