Tries from Tatiana Tafatu, Georgia Gray and Sarah Rioran, plus a Tayla Kinsey conversion took the match to extra time.

And Bulls completed a memorable comeback when Aldora Itunu crossed the line for a 22-17 victory.

Bulls can look forward to a third season in the top flight while Thurrock stay in Championship South.
