Biscomb at the double as Normanton Knights win again to stay ahead of pack

They were involved in a Cross League match with D section side Milford and were made to work hard for their win.

The Knights made a blistering start as they put 10 points on the board in the first eight minutes with tries by Ben Jackson and Joe Crossland, who also kicked a conversion.

But Milford hit back and had nosed in front by the 25th minute as Nathan Currie and Kieran Wilyman both crossed the line with Rhys Greenhall and Sam Best adding a conversion each.

Normanton recovered their composure and put in a strong finish to the first half in going over for three more tries to lead 24-12 at the interval, Ash Haynes, Luke Molloy and Adam Biscomb all powering over.

The second half remained scoreless until the final quarter when the Knights put their foot down again.

Jack Millward scored their match sealing try before Adam Biscomb added his second and Crossland landed his fourth goal to round off the scoring.

Normanton travel to play Batley Boys this Saturday.
