NURL 1sts – 18
Northumbria 1sts – 16
The Owls came back from a 12 points behind to beat Northumbria 18-16 in a Cochrane cup classic.
NURL went into their cup match against the Poly as underdogs due to their opponents Super 8 league status, however it was not long before the simple-minded Poly players knew they were in for a gritty contest.
