Flannery added his third touchdown before the break, to make it 34-6 and Ben Selby went over early in the second half.

Milford rallied with tries by Bacon and Kieron Webster - both of which Rhys Greenall converted - but Stanningley closed the scoring through a touchdown from Jack Smith, which Dean Parker improved.

A poor start cost Hunslet Warriors any chance of an upset against visitors Siddal, who led 22-0 after half an hour and went on to win 38-12.

Second-placed Hunslet Club Parkside’s derby with East Leeds was postponed and they seem set to miss out on top spot.

Regardless of Parkside’s result at Milford on Saturday, Siddal - whose only loss of the campaign so far was to the south Leeds side - will finish as group leaders if they win at home to Stanningley this weekend.

Group F’s bottom team Drighlington are still without a win this season, following a 50-18 loss to Castleford side Lock Lane.

Drighlington were 32-0 behind inside 30 minutes, but battled hard after that with Kieron Roche bagging a brace, Steve Meldrum also crossing and Michael Sanderson landing three goals.
