		Rovers played with no shortage of spirit but they never looked seriously capable of weakening Leeds' grip on the trophy they won in record-breaking fashion last May.
		Featherstone enjoyed their best spell when Leeds were down to 12 men, with Barnhill sin-binned in referee Bob Connolly's crackdown on the offside law, but they lacked the creative ability to break down resolute Rhinos defence.

		This could have been costly as Rovers twice had the chance to equalise but both times they ignored an overlap and on the back of five continuous sets they finally settled for a two-pointer for holding down.
		When Rovers finally did break upfield, a counter attack should have brought more points for York but Ward put down Blaymire's pass with men over.
		The next time Rovers got in the danger zone, they scored through Paul Hughes but the last four minutes passed without too much anxiety.

		Fallins' conversion made it 14-12 to Rovers, which is how it stood at the break, and Dewsbury could consider themselves fortunate that Featherstone were unable to capitalise on all the opportunities presented to them by the Rams.
		Featherstone's lead was quickly widened after the break when Swinson went through dire tackling to score, and further tries from Handley and Baker punished what can only be described as abysmal defence.
		All in all a thoroughly miserable game which, to be fair, may be as a result of the tough encounter with Wigan on Sunday.

	Report: 130403
		Rovers, requiring two points to be almost certain of making it through to the last eight were quickly out of the blocks to stun a depleted Knights outfit, who will be hoping for a return of some of their regular players in time for the start of the league season which kicks off on Friday.
		But on the stroke of half time Rovers scored again, Danny Seal racing half the length of the field, outpacing Ricky Sheriffe, to touch down under the posts.
		However, with both first choice props off the field, seemingly being rested for Friday's league opener with Gateshead, it was fitting that Rovers should have the final say, and that it should fall to the lively Agar, who raced over from 15 metres to round off the scoring.

		However, any complacency was shattered as the visitors began the second half like a team who had beaten league leaders Salford earlier in the campaign as well as the likes of Leigh and Rochdale.
