After the euphoria of ending the recent losing run came the frustration of Cas' poor home form continuing. It's now five successive home league defeats and we've won just two of our nine league matches at headquarters. In this game it started brightly, Brett Ferres and Richard Owen scoring to build an 8-0 lead. Kirk Dixon goaled the second of these to take the lead to 10-0 and his Castleford points tally to 450. The Dragons were level by the interval though after replies from Dimitri Pelo and Jean-Philippe Baile. I a see-saw start to the second stanza Joe Westerman kicked a brace of penalties, Dixon having suffered a chest injury, before a converted Clint Greenshields try put the visitors into a lead they'd never lose. The lead was extended by Dane Carlaw's converted try. Owen scored his second with four minutes remaining, Westerman goaling to make the score 20-22, but the Dragons held firm to record the win.
