Bradford captain Tim Wade is eyeing a second-place finish after his team beat Harrogate to seal back-to-back victories.

A 23-13 success at Pannal following an impressive win over Halifax-Huddersfield means Bradford will go into their final fixture at home to East Riding at Baildon full of confidence.

Wade said: “We’ve had a fairly settled side since we drew with Teesside at Keighley in June.

“To win away from home is always a good performance and confidence breeds confidence.

“We can still make second place if we win our last match and Harrogate can do us a favour against Halifax-Huddersfield. That would not be a bad finish.”

Wade paid special tribute to Bingley St Ives rookie Henry Tetley, who came from three down after seven to win his singles one up.

Bingley’s Mark Evans also came from three behind with five to play to triumph on the last.
