Rugby League: Broncos bust that home jinx

LONDON ended their Griffin Park blues to stop shell-shocked Hull climbing to fourth spot in the Tetley's Super League.

London's last victory at Brentford was against Halifax in April. But Hull have only themselves to blame after a disastrous second half.

London piled up 34 points after the interval and coach Tony Rea said: "We deserved the win. Dennis Moran grabbed hold of the game and Matt Toshack was superb."

A try from sub Francis Stephenson gave Broncos some hope at the break when they trailed 22-12. Then Tony Martin and Gareth Price made it 22-22. Matt Crowther's penalty edged Hull ahead but London snatched two superb tries in three minutes from Gillett and Nigel Roy.

Martin added both conversions and a penalty to stretch the lead to 36-24. A Crowther try cut the gap but Moran intercepted Jason Smith's pass to race 80 yards and seal a dramatic victory.

Graham Mackay's try came too late for Hull and London's Russ Bawden had the final say.
