Bradford Salem finds a slow surge to beat Malton and Norton

They led 13-0 and 20-14, but yet another game slipped through their fingers.

A dry but extremely cold afternoon greeted the declined band of Malton's loyal away supporters.

Salem was in conflict with the referee from the offs, but in the four minutes, Paul Angus' upright long-range shot was distanced but not accurate.

Although neither side was able to establish much position in the proceedings, the host's inexplicable statistics continued, first losing sin to sin after a high shot, then another 10 meters for back chat. I gave up.

Malton skipper Sam Trifitt chose to take a 5 metre scrum from the line, but he owned it at base.

However, another penalty opened the door to break the deadlock shortly after a half hour, and Angus filmed wisely, making it a self-mating attempt.

Salem looked for a quick response, but failed to take advantage of the consecutive penalties kicked by the corner, but the latter was the home side defeating their own throw-in. Their complaints were clear as the visit to the Malton Red Zone also did not score any points.

The host's violation continued, with Angus adding another six points to the scoreboard from the tee to give Malton a 13-0 lead five minutes before the break.

It was proven to be something Salem needs to put his head together, but after a trained, constructive rugby, he ended up bringing himself to the scoreboard with a halftime stroke. Pressure was spoken about on the visitors' lines.

However, Malton wasted no time finding a response. Bill Collier picked up the wrong pass along the way and defeated two defenders to score seven more points to get back forward.

However, visitors allowed Salem again from reopening as no one could put their hands on the home winger when they smashed the line from the resulting scrum after the Trifit Pass became a fumble I did.

It closed the gap 20-19, but Malton again emitted their advantage from the tee in the 55th minute.

Salem reappeared in the visitor's red zone in an hour, but Malton was forced to leave the company, but the kick from the defense was not touched, and instead the host used his property to run the line He went down and got a wide score.

Malton then had a last chance to pull the chestnuts out of the heat, but was held up on the line after the ball became smarter via a few pairs of hands.

They also didn't capitalize after seeing Salem close out the game with a second yellow card.

Instead, the hosts recorded a 33-23 victory walking through a non-existent guard defense, removing Malton's loss bonus points before rubbing salt into the wound with the final mouth s.

Malton then returns to Gannock for a relocated fixture to Pontefract.
