Castleford 6-16 Catalans Dragons

Castleford Tigers (0) 6

T: Derrell Olpherts

G: Danny Richardson


Catalan Dragons (8) 16

T: Fouad Yaha, Samisoni Langi, Matthieu Laguerre

G: James Maloney 2


The run is now extended to 6 matches with a big win (in terms of significance if not score) over Castleford to kick off the Superleague weekend. 

There were weakened teams for both clubs due to injury and international call ups. 

Catalans managed the game effectively keeing their hosts scoreless for the opening half with Yaha and Langi crossing on either wing to establish a lead. 

A final try (also in the corner) from Laguerre ensured the points crossed the channel and that the pressure was firmly on the other teams leading the league ladder. 

This was a brilliant result and the sort of ugly, ground out win that we are not know for. 

Let's hope its a permanent addition to our arsenal.
