Silloth taught lesson by Cockermouth in competitive game

Ryan Hetherington takes clean line-out ball for Cockermouth.

Silloth are on a learning curve as they return to League rugby in Counties 1 Cumbria and were handed a lesson by Cockermouth.

It finished 26-3 to the visitors who dominated the game for long periods, particularly through their forwards.

Silloth played their part in making it a tough and competitive affair but it was the Cockermouth pack which made the difference in the end.

The home side had actually gone in front with a penalty from Luke Johnson but by half-time Cockermouth had scored twice to lead 12-3.

Mark Watson had given them the advantage with the first try, converted by Dan Woodcock and then a well-executed driving maul provided the second unconverted try.

In the second-half Cockermouth remained in control although the Silloth defence showed a lot of resilience in their efforts to keep them at bay.

Eventually Harry Bibby got through for a third Cockermouth try, converted by Woodcock.

The bonus point was secured when Ben Irving scored the fourth try and Woodcock again added the extras.

Cockermouth stay third in the table in the chase behind 100 per cent Upper Eden with Egremont two points in front – but some nine points behind the leaders, albeit with a game in hand.

Egremont were 29-7 winners at Millom and along with Upper Eden are the only other unbeaten side in the competition.

Once again Creighton had to go with a much changed line up to take-on Penrith 2nds and against well organised hosts that was reflected in the 47-0 score-line.

The home side were always on the front foot and the visitors were forced to defend for long spells of the 80 minutes.

Penrith scored an unconverted try in the first five minutes, followed by a further seven points quarter of an hour later. But it was a determined defensive effort by Creighton for the rest of the first half that prevented any further scores.

The second 40 minutes was a different story as Penrith handled and ran effectively with five more converted tries taking them well clear.

Tony Pape came close to scoring for the visitors, being held up just short of the line, whilst George Dudley had a steady game at stand off and Steve Cotter tackled well in the unaccustomed position of centre.
