Huw Thomas’s last-gasp kick sealed victory for Nuneaton and kept up the pressure at the top of National Three North. Full-back Rob Cook went over for a try four minutes from time. Thomas, who had taken over kicking duties from the injured Rickie Aley, made no mistake with the conversion. Earlier, Aley had levelled with a penalty after Dixon had put Bradford ahead on ten minutes.

Thomas, who had taken over kicking duties from the injured Rickie Aley, made no mistake with the conversion. Earlier, Aley had levelled with a penalty after Dixon had put Bradford ahead on ten minutes.
Then he added two drop goals to put Nuneaton 9-3 up at the break.
Six minutes into the second half, he ignored a chance for a try to further increase Nuns’ lead with another drop goal. But Dixon reduced the deficit after Nuns dived in at a ruck and Liam Frost gave Bradford the lead when he crashed over for a try on 61 minutes which Dixon converted.
Aley missed a kickable penalty on 73 minutes, but the last-gasp try saw them take the points.
Bradford & Bingley: Try Frost; conversion Dixon; penalties Dixon (3).
Nuneaton: Try Cook; conversion Thomas; drop goals Aley (3); penalty Aley.
