Featherstone Rovers fought back from 12-4 down to defeat Halifax Panthers 22-12 in a hard-fought Betfred Championship match on Sunday.

One week after Rovers defeated Halifax in the Challenge Cup, Featherstone repeated the feat in the league, but were pushed all the way by Simon Grix's team.

Louis Jouffret and Cory Aston were the try scorers for the Panthers but the hosts prevailed with Craig Hall scoring twice and adding three kicks while Gareth Gale and Morgan Smith also went over.
