British Army's Challenge Cup dream comes to an abrupt end with first-round exit

Watch: Highlights from Fryston Warriors v British Army in the Challenge Cup first round

The British Army rugby league team have been knocked out of the Challenge Cup at the first round stage for the second consecutive year.

A 13-10 defeat away to Fryston Warriors means the Royal Navy are the only forces team to make it through to the second round after they beat the RAF earlier in the day.

The Army tries came from Pita Tamani and Joeli Varo, but their efforts weren't enough to stop the wild Fryston scenes of celebration at full-time.

Fryston scorers included Rhys Owen, Ryan Joseph and Kieran Purdy, while Leyton Davies secured an extra point with a drop goal.
