Four tries saw Burn pick up a bonus point, this may have been enough to secure the title before the last week, however Leigh had a convincing away at St. Benedict’s to remain in the hunt.

Burn started the game with a strong wind behind them and this helped them start the better. On 3 minutes Sam Morgan kicked a penalty, although it was his second attempt, he did miss the first attempt, but the referee was not ready for the kick so he allowed a retake!
However, on 8 minutes Aldwinians hit back with a try. Penalties became a bit of a theme for the game and this time Aldwinians had the benefit of one, they kicked to the corner, won the line out and rumbled over to score. The conversion was missed.

Burn stretched their lead on 50 minutes, from a scrum on the half way, the ball was popped to Craig Aikman, he feed Sean Hall whose pace took him through a gap, he drew the last defender before passing to Matt Hughes who ran on to score . The conversion was missed, but Burn now lead 26 to 5. 54 minutes saw another Aldwinians prop sent to the bin, he was followed by Craig Aikman 5 minutes later. The Aldwinians prop was not long back on until he was shown another yellow card resulting in a red. By this time scrum had become uncontested and this along with continuing penalties really wasted the game. Aldwinians did score to close the gap on 71 minutes, but then they had another man sent to the bin. Burn secured the bonus point with the last play of the game after Craig Aikman made a darting run from a 5 metre scrum and he just had enough to squeeze over.

Burn would have hoped they would not need to go into the final week with the championship undecided, but a surprisingly comfortable win for Leigh away at Bennies means Burn now face a challenging trip to Wigan with the title still at stake, so the players would appreciate as much support as possible.
