Rovers secure last-eight spot
8:49am Monday 12th May 2008
Hull KR overcame a disastrous start to comfortably book their place in the last eight of the Carnegie Challenge Cup with a 42-22 win over Huddersfield.
Today's headlines
Huddersfield, the 2006 runners-up, made a dream start by racing into a 12-0 lead after 17 minutes but finished a well-beaten side and, with just two wins from their last 11 matches, this result can only increase the pressure on coach Jon Sharp.
It was 22-22 until Rovers winger Peter Fox scored the second of his two tries after 53 minutes, and two late tries emphasised the home side's superiority.

Double delight
THE internationally renowned identical twin sisters Antoinette and Claire Cann will be performing a sparkling programme of piano duets at St John the Baptist Church, Aymestrey, near Leominster on Saturday, May 24, at 7.30pm. Antoinette and Claire first played the piano when they were three years old, picking out tunes on the family piano. “The first thing we picked out was the theme to Listen with Mother.” Starting lessons was apparently the only time the pair were at odds about their playing. “Toni was very keen to go,” says Claire. “But at the time, Claire was shy,” adds Antoinette.
