Easts were pipped 20-16 by visitors Dewsbury Moor – who will visit West Hull in an all-Conference third round tie – despite the eight tries being shared. Shane Plunkett, Jason Priestley, Adam Wragg and Jack Norfolk scored Easts’ tries, but none were converted.

Try scorers for Moor were Anthony Boardman (2) Sam Thornton and Jamie Samme and Brad Foster’s two conversions proved the difference.

Milford led 18-10 in the second half against Lock Lane, but were beaten 28-22. Josh Nathaniel crossed twice, Ryan Oxtoby scored a try and three goals and Matt Brockson also touched down.

Tom Sowerby scored two tries for Lock Lane who were drawn away to League One Oldham in round three. Lewis Price, Craig Duncan and Conor Land got the others and Danny Sowerby kicked four goals.
