Leeds, Castleford, Leigh and York reach the Challenge Cup fourth round

George Brown scored two tries on his debut as Leeds Rhinos faced off a fierce challenge from Widnes Vikings to win 25-12 at DCBL Stadium and reach the fourth round of the Challenge Cup.

The 18-year-old full-back was handed his bow after impressing in pre-season and took just seven minutes to get on the scoresheet, with Callum Watkins scoring, although a try from winger Mike Butt and two pointers from Jordan Abdul leveled the scores.

Leeds looked to be easing the tie, with Watkins kicking a penalty and another new arrival, former Canberra Raiders hooker Danny Levy, adding another try, before Brown scored a second Browne goal to put the Premiership side 18-6 ahead at half-time.

The Vikings hit back when Joe Lyons sent the bat in for his second try, but a superb Riley Lomb solo try, a Watkins conversion and a Brodie Croft goal ensured Leeds won the hat.

The Premiership side held out in a tight first quarter, but Joe Stimson made the breakthrough and Tom Weaver’s conversion put them ahead at half-time.

Doncaster escaped Titus Goes’ offense for a tackle, but Tigers full-back Blake Taaffe added another try, and with Weaver kicking extras and a penalty, they reached the finish line without any real warning.
