12th consecutive victory for Salford

EIGHT goals from Jack Hennessy (pictured) helped Salford beat Manchester 31-14 on Sunday, a 12th consecutive league victory this season for the table-topping outfit.

With two games left Salford have secured the northern section, while Manchester and Leeds Hornets will join them in the end of season play-offs.

Leeds secured their spot in the 20-27 victory over Nottingham University, while they were helped by a six-point deduction imposed on Liverpool Wolves for playing an unregistered player.

That deduction is currently being appealed, as it is crucial to the make-up of the play-offs.

In other action on Sunday, Liverpool beat Deva 26-17, and University of Manchester beat Liverpool Speke Garston 32-24.
