Championship round-up: Leigh top after stormy win
Sunday 14 June 2015 20:12, UK
Leigh stayed top of the Championship with a 26-12 win over Batley despite Gareth Hock twice being sin-binned.
The former England international was yellow-carded for dissent on the hour and ended the game back in the bin, along with Leigh team-mate Jamie Acton and Batley forward Tom Lillycrop, following a confrontation.
Hock's first misdemeanour actually worked in the Centurions' favour as they scored three tries with 12 me to come from 12-10 down and take control of the game.
Adam Higson scored a hat-trick, Liam Kay took his total for the season to 22 and Jake Emmitt also touched down for the visitors while Alister Leek and Wayne Reittie scored tries for the Bulldogs, who suffered their third defeat in 10 days.
Bradford kept pace with Leigh, also coming from behind to beat Dewsbury 22-18 and extend their winning run to 15.
Two Adrian Purtell tries helped get the Bulls out of jail - they trailed 12-0 early in the second half - and saw Dewsbury lose sixth spot to London Broncos, who inflicted a 21st straight defeat on Doncaster.
Ben Hellewell scored a hat-trick of tries and others came from Elliot Minchella and Rhys Williams as the Broncos made it three wins in eight days with a 30-4 success.
Sunday's other game was a cakewalk for Featherstone, who thumped Workington 52-0 in a nine-try performance.
