Bradford Dudley Hill let an early ten-point lead slip through their fingers to exit in the first round of the CARNEGIE CHALLENGE CUP by a narrow 20-18 margin against Castleford Panthers at Parry Lane.

Full back Lewis Evans opened the proceedings, soon followed by further efforts from wingman Neil Wall and loose forward Tony Huby.

When prop Jason Lee powered in it looked set to be Dudley Hill’s day but a nil second-half return saw the Panthers take the spoils.
