Danny and Paul were interviewed in the Southdale Lounge after the game and were very positive in the run up to the end of the season and even though it was likely all playoff games would be away no team would relish playing Halifax.
The Hitman award sponsored by Halifax RLFC Players Association went to Joe Chandler for his all round 110%contribution in both attack and defence and he got the penalty award which won us the game. Makali could have got the award for his one tackle alone in the second half for his charge and dislodge of the ball and Dylan Nash also made a try saving tackle . It was also good the see the ground we made on penalty kicks to touch by Bob Beswick.
The Golden Gamble winning number for £188 was 8825.
