Padiham are quick to recover but Jonah clears the danger and Tommy saves the corner to set Elliott on the counterattack to find Josh quickest to react and not only benefitting from the Vibranium shield but extensive training sessions with the Saints and Coach Dean’s pass and groove techniques to score the second.
