Leeds crash in final – Leeds 6-30 Warrington

Posted on August 29th, 2010 in Challenge Cup by ebbs

Early missed chances proved costly for the Rhinos as the Wolves took theirs with Ryan Atkins touching down for their first on 14 minutes, the rest of the half Warrington continued to score as Leeds were held up so it was as they went over again through Chris Hicks but Westwood could not add the extras 8-0. The half ended with Atkins dotting down his second try in controversial circumstances, converted at last by Ben Westwood to give us the half-time score of: Leeds 0-14 Warrington.

The second period and it was a mountain to climb for Leeds as Hicks grabbed his second 0-20, but Lee Smith and Kevin Sinfield gave them hope with 6 points. That was as good as it got as Warrington ran in a further two tries through Hicks and Louis Anderson to give us the final score of:

Leeds 6-30 Warrington
