LEIGH MR plunged to a second straight defeat in a second half horror show.
They crashed 38-14 at home to Dudley Hill, the Bradford side's high kicking in the Saturday sun leading to the Miners downfall.
Initially, Miners made all the running, moving clear with two Mick Evans goals plus a try from Mark Meadows.
The prop stormed in from 20 metres after Paul Daniel and Peter Sharp made the break.
Meadows went in again, following good work by Andy Gorski and Mick Farrimond, but the TD was disallowed. That triggered the Bradford side, who, in quick time, thundered ahead.
After the break Miners threatened again, Andy Collier making big inroads, Gorski and Steve Flannery causing problems; winger Matt Irwin was tumbled into touch inches from the line.
Dudley Hill rode their luck, then found their spark as the MR defence caved in.
With nothing to play for but pride, Flannery went in for a consolation try, Evans goaling from the touchline.
