Hazelden aid it was only the second ever victory for the juniors over Sheffield. The first had come in 2009 when current senior team boss Frank Greaves was in charge and the president was the late Phillip Walton of Meltham.
Hazelden thanked sponsors Glenbrae, Brand Con Sortia and Selbie Opticians and said the juniors could expect a very tough test in the next match against York at Lightcliffe this weekend, when support would be welcome.
Halifax-Huddersfield will bid to complete a quick hat-trick have beaten Teesside at West End in their opener.
