Cleckheaton led the traditional Boxing Day tie 22-0 at half time with tries from Cammy Burnhilll, Elliott Hallas, Lewis Taylor and the dancing feet of Cain 'The Bus' Crotty. Only one of the tries were converted, when James Sheridan stepped up to put boot to ball. A simple looking kick from right in front of the sticks was rejected by the Prop forward, who chose instead, to go for post and in. A perfectly aimed toe poke ricocheted off the upright and dropped over the bar for 2 points and a fitting celebration.
In the second half Ben Proctor made it 5 tries for Cleck diving in at the corner. The turkey and Christmas cheer then took its toll on Cleckheaton with 20 mins to go and to be fair to Brods, they kept trying o get off the mark. Rewarded in the end with 2 tries both of which were converted for a final score of 27 - 14.
