LONDON BRONCOS V HUNSLET (by David Ballheimer) London Broncos (16) 26, Hunslet (0) 6 London Broncos produced one of their most dominant defensive performances in recent memory as they beat Hunslet at the Cherry Red Records Stadium on Saturday night. Such was London’s control of the ruck that the Yorkshiremen had only one attack on the London line, and they turned over the ball-carrier before he could ground the ball. At the other end, Hunslet could not cope with the power and strength of London’s ball-carriers. The Broncos made a great start, scoring on their second possession, courtesy of Marcus Stock, who found a way through three tacklers before stretching over the line and grounding the ball. Most of the credit, however, belonged to Huw Worthington, who charged 35 metres downfield returning a kick. Four minutes later, Stock turned provider, turning in a tackle and sending Luke Polselli over. The half-back was able to run behind the posts to make Chris Hellec’s second conversion even easier than his first.

We have now moved to make the relationship stronger by moving to a dual-registration agreement. This will allow the opportunity for players at Warrington to gain some valuable game time in the Championship with Mike Eccles side. With Mike as a highly respected coach we thank Warrington for entrusting us with some of their brightest talents.

MATCH PREVIEW: London Broncos vs Hunslet RLFC London Broncos return to The Cherry Red Records for the first time in over a month when they welcome Hunslet RLFC to Wimbledon on Saturday.

This week we give a warm welcome to Tom Whitehead and Alfie Johnson who join the squad from Warrington Wolves. Also joining the squad is former Broncos academy centre Ted Davidson. The 22-year-old centre played in the recent Capital Challenge game at the HAC and scored two tries for the London Development team. Ted came through the same system as former team mates Jamie Humphrey’s, Oli Leyland, Ramon Silva and Kai Pearce-Paul. (I can fill in more detail in an interview about him going away etc). Jake Thewlis, Lukas Mason, Kian McDermott and Taylor Kerr return this week to their respective parent clubs. We can also update fans on the fitness of Connor O’Beirne who missed the game with Oldham due to injury. We can confirm that he has sustained a knee injury so is set to be unavailable for selection for the next two months. Finally, Lewis Bienek suffered a head knock in the game at Oldham and failed his HIA so is unavailable for the weekend’s game in line with concussion protocol. #WeAreLondon
