Premier Sports Try of the Week – Callum Phillips (Workington Town)
In-form Workington playmaker Callum Phillips finished off a flowing Town move for a crucial try in their 22-6 win over Dewsbury Rams.
Town were just six points ahead going into half-time when they broke from deep inside their own half.
Joint coach Gary Charlton said: “From our own 20, Adam Lawton fed Andy Morris to get away on the outside.
