MEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: Whitehaven marked head coach Kyle Amor’s first game in charge with an 18-10 win at Dewsbury that moved them out of the Championship relegation zone. The Cumbrians are suffering financial problems, only confirmed that they could fulfil the fixture two days before kick off and fielded just one substitute for Sunday’s game. Defeat confirmed Dewsbury’s demotion to League One with five games still to be played.
