OTLEY had the weekend off from National Two North action, but were keen to get some useful match practice in.
They played in a friendly last Thursday evening, which took place at West Park Leeds’ ground.
Kyle Dench’s side were taking on a young Leeds Tykes side, and in a high-scoring affair, they emerged as 52-28 winners.
They will expect a tougher challenge in their next league game, which comes this Saturday away to Rotherham Titans.
The South Yorkshire side sit second in the table, while Ilkley are fourth-bottom, having only won two of their seven games so far.
