George Flanagan scored and converts his own try following a Gloucestershire knock on and the teams went in at half time: Gloucester All Golds 6-16 Hunslet Hawks
The Hawks exerted sustained pressure at the start of the second half and were rewarded when a kick through was pounced on by Michael Haley for his first try of the season after 47 minutes. George Flanagan missed the kick in front of the posts.
Shortly afterwards George Flanagan and Steve Parry (the All Golds’ captain) were sent off after a brawl.
After the restart Gloucester went down the field and Chris Barlow scored in the corner. Matt Bradley completes the conversion from the touchline. 12-20.
After that the second half was dominated by defence and mistakes until Jack Lee went over after 75 minutes. Danny Ansell kicksed the extras, extending Hunslet’s lead to 12-26.
