Halifax Reserves played Bradford Bulls from the Championship League on 17 August, with a much changed team due to holidays and illness and they included two debutants to the game.
They made a slow start and were 0-14 down inside the first quarter of the game as they saw little of the ball. However when they got a good share of the ball, tries from Finlay O’Neill (2 ), converting both, and Tom Green, scoring a try on his return, gave Halifax a 16-14 half time lead.
The second half went better for the Panthers and saw tries from Jordan Holt (2) Green (2 more ) plus one from Julio Hernendes, with O’Neill converting three scores, and a penalty. That gave Halifax a 46-30 win.
Meanwhile, Halifax Super League team squeezed home against a very resilient London Roosters side 46-40.
In a feisty but engaging encounter, the Panthers wracked up three tries from Jeremy Bouson, two from Keiron Johnson and singles from Wayne Boardman, Joseph Calcott and Rob Hawkins. There were six conversions by Hawkins plus a penalty. So the Panthers brought home two league points and consolidated their second place in the league.
They take on Wigan at home Sunday 25th with kick off at 2-30pm at Sedbergh Leisure Centre, Bradford.
