Bradford Bulls Under 20's completed their second win of the campaign with a thrilling 40-34 victory over Castleford at the Grattan Stadium.
The game looked over and done with after half an hour as the Bulls led 28-0 but, as so often happens in Rugby League, the Tigers, aided by a string of penalties, got the momentum swing they needed. Midway through the second period the score was 28-24 to the home side who then extended their lead when Steve Crossley went in under the posts and Danny Addy's goal made it 34 -24 but Hooker Adam Milner scored two quick fire tries for the Tigers and only John Davies' fluffed kick from the touchline, his first miss of the evening, prevented Castleford from taking the lead for the first time.
With time running out the Bulls mounted one last attack and Hooker Johnny crossed for his second try to seal the points for the Bulls in a remarkable game.
