n Dewsbury Celtic Under-14s continued their winning run but were made to work hard on their trip to Guiseley.

Celtic took a 12-6 half-time lead as they crossed for tries through winger Ben Hardwick and forward Gabriel Croft, which were both converted by Harry Hargreaves.

Guiseley continued their attacking pressure throughout the second half but despite a fine defensive effort by Celtic they were unable to prevent the home side scoring a second try to level matters.

MoM Alex Tunkara led a terrific effort by the Celtic forwards.

Captain Janeil Simpson took control of the game and in the last five minute he finished a fine fine attacking move with a crossfield kick which Hardwick collected to cross for his second try which sealed a 16-12 victory.
