Catalans 24 Warrington Wolves 22
DESPITE an inspirational performance from Skipper Lee Briers Warrington Wolves went down 24-22 at Les Catalans.
Briers didn't deserve to be on the losing side as he weighed in with 18 points from two tries and five goals.
Warrington led 10-12 at the break and 10-16 after 47 minutes, but were unable to kill off the home side who came roaring back with three tries in a seven-minute spell to pull the Dragons clear of the trouble at the bottom of the engage Super League.
John Wilson, Casey McGuire and Jason Croker crossed in that spell and - coupled with first-half efforts from Younes Khattabi and David Ferriol and one conversion from Thomas Bosc - saw Les Catalans move above Warrington in the standings.
The defeat now leaves Warrington struggling at the wrong end of the table, with games fast running out.
Lee Briers scored twice and added 10 points from the boot to add to Kevin Penny's try as the Wolves at least remained in the hunt until the final hooter. They even came close to snatching the match in the dying moments when Chris Riley gathered Briers' clever chip ahead - but somehow managed to drop the ball as he dived over the line, with Bosc making the crucial tackle.
That missed chance proved crucial as the Dragons managed to hold their nerve at the death.
