\n Allan Coleman\u2019s side finished as 24-12 victors away to Sheffield Eagles at the Steel City Stadium, a result which keeps them in ninth place but still six points adrift of the play-offs spots.\n<\/p>\n
\n Matty Dawson-Jones put Sheffield in front and despite enjoying plenty of possession and territory in the first half it took until shortly before the break for Vikings to hit back.\n<\/p>\n
\n Substitute forward Luke Thomas, on dual registration from Warrington Wolves, pounced on a well-placed kick from the returning Jack Owens to give Vikings a narrow 6-4 lead at the interval.\n<\/p>\n
\n Although Eagles squared up the score with a Cory Aston penalty, a high kick from Will Roberts was then misjudged by the hosts and Condon reacted quickly to touch down and restore the lead.\n<\/p>\n
\n Vikings extended their advantage with 15 minutes remaining as Dec Patton\u2019s reverse kick caused panic in the Sheffield defence, allowing Will Roberts to scoop up the loose ball and score.\n<\/p>\n
\n Evan Hodgson grounded a deflected kick to bring Sheffield back within six points and set up a nervy finish.\n<\/p>\n
\n But any hopes of a late comeback by the hosts were dashed in the dying moments, as Jordan Johnstone supplied a short ball for Condon to crash over for his second.\n<\/p>\n
\n Vikings will next be in action at home to Batley Bulldogs at the DCBL Stadium on Sunday.\n<\/p>\n
