Congratulations to the London Broncos Scholarship, who beat the Huddersfield Giants 36 - 28

Well done to all the Eels players that were part of the Broncos Scholarship programme, it's been an education which has seen you make new friends & memories along the way, look forward to seeing you all back at the Eels to share the knowledge you've aqui

Brentwood Eels players Rory Gray, Archie Holding & Jacob Smith were part of the London Broncos 20 man squad, that travelled up to Yorkshire, to play against Super League's Huddersfield Giants Scholarship boys.

The Giants were out the blocks fast, running out to a 22 - 6 lead, before the Broncis mounted their comeback scoring 4 unanswered tries, to take the lead 30 - 22

Huddersfield weren't finished yet, as they scored in the corner & converted to move within just 2 points. Giants 28 Broncos 30

The final ten minutes of the game was enthralling, with both teams completing sets as the momentum swung one way then the other.

The Giants bombed up a high swirling Fifth & Last kick, which Archie took with real composure before loading up a Broncos Prop, to return some heavy artillery.

With just four minutes remaining London put everything into this set, good movement of the ball & powerful carries, saw them move within 10 metres of the Giants tryline.

A quick play the ball had the Giants defence scrambling, Jacob hit a short flat pass to Rory, who took it at pace & crashed over the line to score & secure a memorable win for the London Broncos.
