Matt Hollands late score secured a third win for the Brothers against a powerful and skilful GB Teachers for the Ian Molyneux Shield

The Brothers had to overcome a massive fightback by the teachers who came from 24:10 down at the break to tie the game at 24 all going into the last ten minutes. Matt Hollands try seemed to have taken it for RNRL but a fumble from the restart gave possesion and the initiative back to the teachers who pressured the RNRL line throughout 3 repeat sets but to no avail. After a very long ten minutes Ref Pete Smith brought the game to a end much to the relief of the RN side and their fans.

A great match in memory of a great man, roll on next year!
