Ovenden then had a good speel with two further first half tries from Sutcliff and Short. Collins added one goal which gave the visitors their 16-6 lead.
In the second half, Rangers upped their game and eight minutes after the start, Adam Lunn crossed the whitewash again goaled by Grice. Eleven minutes before time Baxby added another and five minutes later completed his hat-trick. Grice added one more conversion and a penalty right on time.
