A remarkable turn around saw Morley reverse a 7 - 22 halftime deficit into a 47 - 29 5pt victory.

George Bowen was also making his 50th appearance on a memorable day.

After 3 successive defeats, Morley needed a win to boost confidence.

Try scorers - Dec Brereton (2), Jamie Silkstone (2), Brad Freeman, Jake Dearden, penalty try (although Greeny had already scored it!)

The Cavaliers match at Moortown had to be abandoned after 57 minutes due to a serious injury to George Wilkson. Morley were leading 21 - 17 when George suffered a serious knee injury. After a delay, George was taken to LGI. He was found to have dislocated his knee and had also suffered a broken patella. He is now at home with his leg in a splint and appears to be comfortable. Further up dates will be posted when they ae known.

Next week the Cavaliers are at home to Old Brods whilst the 1st team make the reverse journey to Woodhead. Both games kick off at 2.15pm
