Sunderland grind out gritty win

The lads sealed this with a last play pick and go try for David Matloch against one of the county’s more formidable outfits, Stockton.
Conceeding early on following a series of errors, the team’s abrasiveness and determination saw the forwards grab one to the right of the upright, Adam Williams scoring, Chris Rochelle adding the two points.
After Sunderland squandered two try scoring run ins, Stockton capitalised on a fumble on the try line to take the lead 12-10. Dylan Palfreyman jinked his way into the right hand corner to tie the game and with the clock running down, Sunderland’s territorial dominance helped them seal the victory from the hooker.
