Lowca claim play-off place in style

Lowca have claimed the final play-off place in the Holmen Iggesund Cumberland ARL.

They did it in style, too, in the shoot-out match with Maryport for fourth spot, winning 44-12.

It was still to play at half-time, although Lowca had established an 18-6 lead, but they proved the stronger in the second-half.

Lowca opened with a try on eight minutes from Evan Hodgson, which Jamie Scott converted and they doubled that lead after 20 minutes.

This time it was Luke Stockton who got over, followed eight minutes later by Mitchell Todd. Both were converted by Scott.

Maryport did manage to get a fingerhold in the game two minutes before half-time with a try by Chris Ivison which Blake Miller converted.

Lowca had increased their advantage to 28-6 by the 50th minute with tries from Xenden Callander and Todd, the second of which was converted by Scott.

With the game slipping away from them Maryport did manage a second try on the hour when Miller went over and added the conversion.

But three tries in the last ten minutes from Jordan Allen, Callander and Ashton Briscoe, two of them converted by Scott, pulled Lowca well clear.

The only other game saw third-placed Kells A beat Cockermouth 24-10.

The Titans have been unable to field enough players for a team in recent weeks, but with a Cumberland Cup final date against Distington looming, it was important to get some action.

They were in contention for the whole game, trailing 12-6 at the break and 18-10 behind going into the last five minutes.

Kieran Halcrow opened the scoring with a Kells try on ten minutes, which was converted by Dominic Wear.

That advantage was doubled on 28 minutes when Carl Sice nipped over for a second try, again converted by Wear.

But Cockermouth got into it four minutes later when Jamie Stockdale scored a try, converted by Ed Gate.

Twelve minutes into the second-half it looked as though the tables had turned when Jack Lewis got over for a second try and at 12-10 the game was on a knife edge.

It was Kells, though, who responded well and on 58 minutes Sice went in for his second try, converted by Wear.

The decisive try to cement the Kells win came two minutes from the end through Corey Chambers, and Wear landed his fourth goal.
