Battling Leeds Tykes push leaders Caldy all the way
and live on Freeview channel 276
It was not until the final minute of the game that Caldy secured a four-try bonus point, and after some good periods of play from the Yorkshire side it seemed unfair that they were left empty-handed after matching their opponents for long periods.
An early try for Caldy was followed by a penalty from Charlie Venables, although the visitors were 11-3 ahead at half-time with a couple of penalties late in the half. Replacement Will Hardwick touched down on 51 minutes to narrow the gap, but Caldy stepped up a gear with tries on 55 and 67 minutes putting them 23-8 ahead.
