Two tries from Hooker Johnny Horton helped the Bulls Under 20's to a 22-16 victory over Castleford Tigers at the Jungle in the Valvoline Cup.
The Bulls led 16-0 at the break after tries to the very impressive Vinny Finigan and Jessjo Sheriffe before Horton crossed for his first. The Tigers hit back in the second half and with the score at 16-12 the Bulls were grateful for Horton's second try to steady the ship. Castleford scored late in the game but it was much too late to put the Bulls under any serious pressure. Three goals from the outstanding Danny Addy were instrumental in the Bulls victory.
