True to form, one side showed the desire to stay in NLI, and Batley – for lo, it was they - got their just reward.
This latter was the one who created the space for Batley’s big men – Morgan and Rourke, Richardson, Cartilege, McLoughlin and Robinson – to barge through like men through boys, and then off-load to the likes of support players and finishers such as Stokes and Lythe and Roden himself.
This came against the run of play, for repeat Fev knock-ons in their own 20 gave Batley chance after chance, all of which they failed to capitalise on until Stokesy outjumped, well, nobody really.

Batley didn't give up the ghost, and continued to take the game to Widnes, but their sheer desperation resulted in a couple of unnecessary spills.
