Hunslet picked up their third-successive win with a 22-16 home victory over table-topping West Hull and are now only in the bottom three on points difference.

The Leeds side led 16-10 at the break thanks to a try and two goals from Jordan Gale, plus touchdowns by Harry Dodd and Oliver Whitford.

Dodd crossed again at the start of the second period, with Gale adding another conversion.

Stanningley romped to a 30-0 win at Oulton Raiders in a Division One derby, after leading 16-0 at half-time.
