Aaron James, along with Matthew Sheridan, Gavin Davies and Josh O’sullivan set a platform for the half- backs of Sheridan and Bingham to control the game and this led to further tries for Ryan Crossley and Damo Fletcher.

Josh Whitehead and Josh Ritcher also got over the line as the Boys continued to play some impressive rugby.

Sharlston created a few chances through Rovers man-of-the-match Lee Bettinson but the defence from Batley held out.

Second half tries came at regular intervals with O’Sullivan scoring one of the best of the game after a pass from Bingham before Price crossed for another three tries, with Wlliam Brook adding his name to the growing list.
