Kingston Park

The Newcastle Red Bulls secured a narrow 14-10 victory over the Lions in a challenging Challenge Cup encounter. The match opened with an early try from Davids, converted by Francis, giving the Lions a 7-0 lead. However, Hearle responded for the Red Bulls with a try shortly after, followed by a conversion from Chamberlain, to take the home side ahead. Both teams faced yellow cards, impacting their momentum, particularly with Davids and Fletcher temporarily sidelined. McCallum's late try for Newcastle, converted by Connon, sealed the win despite a late surge from the Lions. Francis managed to score a penalty for the Lions, but it was not enough to change the outcome. The match showcased strong defensive efforts and resilience from both sides in difficult weather conditions.
