2 tries from Craig Blackburn and 1 from Tom Clapham put Cleckheaton back in the mix after a slow start. However Scunthorpe hung on to seal victory.

After being 24 - 5 down at half time, Cleckheaton were determined to win the 2nd half of the match. They did this through great defence and 2 excellent tries: firstly from Tom Clapham, following rampaging forward play, and then via a 50 metre sprint from Craig Blackburn, after Jarrad Tolson had put him in space. The kicks were missed otherwise Cleck would have got themselves back within one score. However Scunthorpe had not given up on the game and scored in the last 2 minutes to put the contest beyond reach at 31 - 15.

TO get into the Christmas spirit, some of the boys in the 2nd Team performed a dance in Scunthorpes clubhouse afterwards. You can see it by clicking here:
