Castleford Tigers survived a late London Broncos surge to pick up their second victory of the season at Griffin Park.

The visitors looked to be coasting home until Nigel Roy touched down three minutes from time to set up a grandstand finish.

And only a timely intervention from Barrie-John Mather, collecting Jim Dymock's kick over his own line in the dying seconds, prevented the Broncos from completing what would have been a remarkable comeback.

The game started well for the Broncos who opened the scoring after six-weeks away from Griffin Park inside the opening four minutes.

Steve Hall's 70-metre run set up a chance for Tony Martin to cross the line from close range before he converted his own try from the touchline.

The Broncos had another effort ruled out on 10 minutes before Castleford's Darren Rogers applied the finishing touch to Michael Eagar's kick.

Wayne Bartrim levelled the scores with a conversion.

The game was half an hour old and the Tigers took the lead for the first time with Danny Orr touching down after Mitch Healey had kicked into open space.

Rogers then raced the length of the field after intercepting Dymock's pass two minutes before half-time. Bartrim's conversion gave his side a 10-point lead at the break.

Waine Pryce and Mather both had tries ruled out before Bartrim added a 62nd minute penalty with team-mate Dean Sampson in the sin bin for interference.

The Broncos pulled themselves back into the game on 64 minutes when Michael Gillett burst through the Castleford defence before offloading to Russell Bowden who crossed the whitewash. Martin then added the goal.

Martin added a 72nd minute penalty to reduce the arrears to just four points only to see Lee Harland touch down from Bartrim's kick from dummy half. Bartrim then added the conversion.

The visitors looked to be well on their way to victory until Roy gave the home side a glimmer of hope with a try converted by Martin, but somehow Cas managed to hang on to both points.
