Four Warriors were in loan and dual registration action over the weekend for York Knights, Widnes Vikings and Oldham Roughyeds.

York Knights 14-34 Leigh Leopards

Adam Jones started, while Reagan Sumner came off the bench, as York gave Leigh Leopards a scare in the Challenge Cup Quarter Final, despite the Super League side winning by 20 points at the final whistle.

The duo, who signed for the Championship side on one-month loan deals during the week, helped Knights into a 14-6 lead over 12-man Leigh, before five Leopards tries in the final half an hour sealed their place in the Semi Final of the competition.

Barrow Raiders 26-18 Widnes Vikings

Zach Eckersley marked his Widnes return with a start as the Vikings fell to a third consecutive defeat after trailing 18-0 at half time in Cumbria.

Eckersley has scored five tries in seven appearances for the Championship outfit, who sit seventh in the table but still within distance of a play-off position.

Despite Roughyeds building a 22-6 lead, Doncaster fought back with three tries in the final 15 minutes to end Oldham’s six match unbeaten run, while extending their winning streak to four games.
