Keswick made sure they kept the pressure on Cockermouth in the Cumberland County League Division One title race with an 8-1 victory at Mirehouse.
Sporting all-rounder Stephen , a tough forward for Keswick rugby union club and a wicket-keeper for Keswick in the Cumbria League, scored five of those goals.
