Wath Brow Hornets made it four wins from four games in the National Conference when they beat Barrow Island 31-6.
The Hornets and West Bowling are the only teams in the country with 100% records, although the Yorkshire club’s record is from an impressive nine games.
The Cumbria Division is well behind the other six sections with only 16 of the scheduled 42 fixtures completed and Askam have already dropped out after two games.
The Hornets will certainly be declared the Cumbrian winners with Kells looking likely to pip Barrow Island for the second qualifying spot on a percentage win ratio.
But Kells are due to host the Island on Saturday when a Barrow win would put the two sides level.
Wath Brow, who will travel to Millom at the weekend, were worthy winners against the Island but perhaps not as convincing as the final scoreline suggests.
It needed two converted tries and a field goal in the last ten minutes to pull them completely clear.
The Islanders were still in there at half-time, only 12-6 in arrears and although Hornets scored again immediately after the re-start it stayed that way until the closing 10 minutes.
The Island had got through the opening quarter of the game unscathed before stand-off Cole Walker-Taylor crossed for the opening try which he converted himself.
Prop Conor Molyneux was having a big game for the Brow and on 29 minutes a powerful run by him set up full-back Peter Caddy for the second try which Walker Taylor improved.
The south Cumbrians were battling well to stay in the contest and on 35 minutes they got some reward when hard-working centre Ben Garner set-up winger Max Moore for a try which Sam Jones converted.
Three minutes after the restart Caddy grabbed his second try and Walker-Taylor converted but it wasn’t until a late surge that Hornets were completely home and hosed.
Adam Hodgson and Gregg Dawson scored tries, converted by Walker-Taylor.
Then in the last few seconds Jason Connery added a field goal.
The third game in the Cumbria section on Saturday will be Hensingham v Egremont.
