Jason Lee breathed a sigh of relief after Dudley Hill squeezed through to the Conference Challenge Cup quarter-finals with a 28-16 home win over Ovenden.

Hill led through Gavin Mezals’ early score but Ovenden hit back through Shaun Smith and Luke Sandland added a second try for the Halifax side after the restart.

Hill replied through Andy Robinson’s try but Ovenden claimed a third through Luke Sutcliffe.

However, Lewis Evans’ try put Hill back in the ascendancy and further home scores from Mezals and Nathan Kitson confirmed Hill’s victory.

* Hill have three players in the English Lions side to face Scotland A at Falkirk this Saturday, kick-off 2pm.

David Dunwell and Kitson will both line up in the front row against the Scots, while three-quarter Neil Wall will also make the trip as 18th man.

The Lions head north for their second Community Game Four Nations encounter after opening with a comprehensive 56-8 win over Wales in Hull late last month.
