Cool Zac helps Tigers pip rivals at the post

Hill had been in fine form all afternoon, kicking two conversions and two other penalties before he slotted over the crucial 80th minute winner.

Although the home side could have snatched the win when they were awarded a penalty deep into stoppage time, the effort hit the upright and bounced out, leaving Tigers to climb to fifth spot in the table.

Liverpool went ahead with an early try from No 8 Phil Kearns which Ashley Worsfold converted and, despite Hill kicking two penalties, the home side led 17-6 at the break with Worsfold adding a penalty and converting centre Ben Mousley's try.

But Tigers continued to push, and closed the gap with winger Ernst Oosterhuizen touching down and Hill adding the extras.

Mousley added a second try and Worsfold converted to restore the gap, but replacement back row Tom Rice touched down twice and Hill converted once to take a narrow 25-24 lead.

Worsfold added a 75th minute penalty but Hill matched it to restore the one-point lead, and they held their breath as Worsfold missed out with his crucial injury-time effort.

Sheffield ran out 18-9 winners from their Yorkshire One clash at Keighley and are now fifth in their league.

Left-winger Jonny Cox touched down in the fourth minute and, although Keighley hit back to lead 6-5 with two penalties, stand-off Adam Byron kicked a penalty just after the half-hour mark to give his side a lead at the break.

Cox touched down twice more to complete his hat-trick after the break.
