Rugby League

Bradford turned in another impressive display as they charged into the last four of the Silk Cut Challenge Cup at the expense of Halifax.

Tries from player-coach Gary Mercer, Martin Pearson, and Paul Rowley kept the home side in the match but the extra power and pace of the Bulls eventually won through.

The outcome was harsh on Salford and in particular their inspirational captain Darren Brown, who earned the man-of-the-match award for an outstanding contribution to a magnificent team effort.

Silk Cut Challenge Cup: quarter-finals - Halifax18, Bradford 28; Salford 20; Warrington 22.

Tennis

Tim Henman's bad luck story in ATP finals continued at the Templeton Classic in Scottsdale, Arizona, when he went down in straight sets to Australian teenager Lleyton Hewitt.

The Aussie then held his nerve to take the tie-break 7-2 and claim his third title in less than three months.

Alan Mackin and Nicola Payne won the top two awards at Saturday's SLTA annual dinner in Stirling.

Glasgow's Mackin, who trains in Monte Carlo with former French Open champion Thomas Muster, was voted Men's Player of the Year with Payne taking the Women's award.
