London Broncos 26-24 Hull KR

London Broncos won the battle at the bottom of the Betfred Super League table after beating Hull KR 26-24.

The Broncos stormed back from 18-8 behind to claim a third consecutive win and move two points above Rovers.

London were 8-0 ahead after 32 minutes as Kieran Dixon kicked two penalties either side of setting up Morgan Smith for the opening try.

But the visitors responded when Weller Hauraki touched down Tommy Lee's kick before starting the second half with back-to-back tries.

Adam Quinlan took an offload from Harvey Livett to score and then Chris Atkin finished off Daniel Murray's break to make it 18-8.

London hit back in style as after Abdull's 40-20 led to Alex Walker scoring, the half-back then touched down himself before Rob Butler's determination saw him cross.

Their lead was cut to two points two minutes from time courtesy of Josh Drinkwater's try but London held on.
