Eagles take Championship summit

Sheffield Eagles are the new leaders of the Co-operative Championship thanks to a 26-16 victory over Batley at Bramall Lane.

Overseas backs Menzie Yere and Quentin Laulau-Togagae both scored tries in each half as the Eagles fought back from 10-4 down to secure their sixth win of the season.

Ben Black and Alex Bretherton scored tries to put Batley ahead but Sheffield centre Dane Straugher's try enabled them to draw level and the home side established a winning position before Gareth Potts scored the visitors' third try.
