Slideshow: Australia see-off Great Britain in Police World Cup opener
Drighlington RLFC player Adam Newton’s fine individual display was not enough to save Great Britain Police from a 56-18 loss to Australia in the opening game of the Police World Cup.
Skipper Newton put the host nation onto the scoreboard first with a penalty but the Australians went on to dominate the match at the Tetley’s Stadium, Dewsbury.
Newton put Andy Eastham over for a try and kicked two more goals but the Great Britain team’s World Cup campaign got off to a losing start.
