After the break Leyland regained the lead with a converted try.

But the introduction of McNamee changed the game for Finch.

Almost immediately after coming on man of the match McNamee raced through with a dazzling run to score, with Parylo adding the conversion to draw level.

Finch took the lead when Byrom Whalley made a short break and Chris Simm finished it off with a try and Parylo added the two points.

Leyland responded with two tries and one conversion but Finch got the points to win when Sams sent Shaun Hudson on a 60-metre run to score a brilliant try and Parylo added the match-winning conversion.
