Lowca came from behind with an impressive second half performance to progress in the preliminary round of the Cumberland Cup.
The villagers trailed 8-6 at Cockermouth but came through strongly to book their first round place with a 32-20 victory.
Matthew Irving scored a try on debut for Cockermouth and there were also touchdowns for Jack Clarke, Jordan Herve and Alex Barton. Clarke kicked two goals.
But Lowca came through to win with tries from Finn Barwise (2), Mitchell Todd, Matthew Farrer and James McNally. Keith Campbell kicked four goals.
In the Premier Division champions Ellenborough proved too strong for Aspatria and in a symmetrical performance scored 34 points in each half to win 68-10.
Yet Aspatria had gone in front after only two minutes when Rocco Okesene went in for a try and added the conversion.
It didn’t take long for Ellenborough to hit back and on seven minutes Kevin Hoban crossed for their first try and by half-time they had scored six more through Keenan Winter (2), Jordan Ostle (2), Niall Gray and Ryan Wilson. Three of them were converted by Winter.
Ostle went on to complete his hat-trick; there was a couple from Rhys Burr while Zac Olstrum and Hoban added touchdowns. Winter took his tally to 10 successful kicks.
Daryl Creighton went in for a second Aspatria try which was unconverted.
There should have been a second Premier Division game but Wath Brow A were unable to field a team at Distington and the result will be a 24-0 win for the unbeaten villagers.
