Championship: Featherstone Rovers v Sheffield Eagles LIVE

Thank you for your company this afternoon. We will have some post-match reaction later this evening. See you next time.

Fev are still only out of the play-offs on points difference. And with Sheffield and York facing each other next week, Fev could get back into the top six with a win at home to rock bottom Dewsbury Rams.

A thoroughly deserved win for the Eagles. You would not have thought they had lost their previous five games.

The hooter sounds. Fev have lost this crucial contest 6-20.

Around five minutes remaining. Fev are still three scores behind. This would be a comeback of all comebacks.

6-20

Aston converts.

6-20

That is a sucker punch! It’s been all Fev!! But Jones-Bishop picks up a loose ball and races clear.

6-18

Ohhhh is that the game?! Jones-Bishop goes 90 metres!!! What a run by the 35-year-old! What a try!

6-18

Into the final 15 minutes or so. Fev trying their best to get back into this contest. They still trail.

6-14

And Aston knocks it over. Sheffield two scores in front.

6-14

After all that pressure, it is Sheffield who have the chance to extend their lead with a penalty.

6-12

Fev, as you would expect, on the front foot but they can’t get over the line. Reynolds knocks on 15 metres from the line and Sheffield survive.

6-12

The Eagles’ defence is up to the test as they dig in deep to deny Fev’s 13 men in their first attack with their man advantage.

6-12

Could this be a turning point in the game?

6-12

Broadbent is sent to the bin. Sheffield down to 12 men.

6-12

Reynolds does really well to tackle Jones-Bishop to deny a certain try. He gets him into touch. Sheffield so close to extending their lead.
