Dewsbury had a number of players making their appearances for the club and they gave a good account of themselves.
The Rams almost snatched a draw when Adam Ryder was penalised for a double movement when looking to score two minutes from full-time.

Some of the stuff offensively wasn’t there but it’s Boxing Day and that was to be expected. The best team won on the day and they look like a team going into their third season with the same coach and we looked like a team who have got a new coach.
“If Ryder scores instead of doing what he did, we could have snatched a draw but overall the second half was a lot more positive than the first.
“It’s really easy then when you fall behind by a couple of scores and you are playing uphill to fall away and get beat comfortably so as a neutral watching that is probably what you thought would happen but fair play to the lads we probably looked stronger in the second half.”
