Bradford Dudley Hill fell to a disappointing 26-16 National Conference League Division One home defeat against Milford Marlins.

The opening half finished all-square at 10-10, with Hill playmaker Ryan Dickinson creating touchdowns for Aussie loose forward Cameron Gibson and wingman Jamie Steward.

Hooker Nathan Kitson landed an extra, and with second-row forward Kenny Smith causing the visitors copious problems hopes reigned supreme for the second stanza.

It was the Leeds side, however, who went on to dominate the proceedings, with Hill having to be content with a further Steward touchdown late on which Kitson converted from the touchline.
