SALFORD 16 LONDON 19

Salford were looking to build on last weeks victory this afternoon when London Broncos were the visitors to the AJ Bell stadium! It was a slow start with the Broncos frustrating Salford in the early stages as both sides traded sets. London got the first try William Barteau pounced to race away and score an interception try. Jamie Soward misses the conversion 0-4.

Salford desperately try to get back level and blow certain tries when Josh Griffin and Junior Sau spill the ball from good chances. Niall Evalds also goes close. It's a big blow when Craig Kopzack is forced off with an ankle injury.The Red Devils finally get the scores level when George Griffin powers over under the posts. Gareth O Brien Adds the goal 6-4 after 35 minutes.

London continue to impress and shock Salford again with a well worked try from Scott Leatherbarrow after a great break from the lively Isreal Eliab. Jamie Soward adds the goal to send London to the half time break leading 6-10.

As the second half starts the Broncos continue to work hard and Salford make errors! 58 minutes gone London edge further ahead with an excellent try. Soward splits the defence with a super break finding Eliab who looks to be going in touch but some how off loads back to Soward who crashes over to stun the crowd. His kick of the touch line is excellent. 6-16. If Salford needed a wake up call they've just had it!

With 15 minutes remain and the Broncos adding a penalty goal to edge themselves a bit closer with a  6-18 lead the spark and urgency seemed to be missing from Salford today. Michael Dobson gives away a real soft penalty to help London up the field and they wisely work there way to the posts with Barteau dropping a goal 6-19. Josh Griffin adds two late tries for Salford with O Brien adding the goal from the first try.

London hold on though for a famous win one they deserve! If Salford are to survive this season we must do it via the million pound game. A trip to Batley next Sunday is salford's next match where it will be another tough test. As supporters we can only hope there is enough fight left for the final two weeks of a long testing season. A very disappointing day finished Salford 16 London 19. Paul Whiteside away day red
