The Cumbrians declared their intent from the very start of the game when winger Morgan McCourt touched down after just two minutes and the reliable boot of Cole Walker-Taylor landed the conversion for a 0-6 lead for the visitors.

Siddal's Oliver Lewis replied for the home side on 5 minutes to reduce Wath Brow's lead to 4-6. There were no further tries for the remainder of the first half, but Walker-Taylor was successful with two penalties to leave the half time scores 4-10.

Siddal conceded another penalty early in the second half, which was duly punished by Walker-Taylor to stretch the visitors' lead to 4-12.

On 53 minutes, Christian Ackroyd hit back for Siddal with a try that was improved by Lewis Hosty for a 10-12 scoreline.

Wath Brow replied on 56 minutes when a try from loose forward Charlie Tomlinson which was converted by Walker-Taylor, once again put the Cumbrians two scores in front at 10-18.

Siddal then produced a grandstand finish with three tries in the final 15 minutes. Liam Whitton's try on 66 minutes brought Siddal back into the game at 14-18. With ten minutes left on the clock, Oliver Lewis scored his second try to bring the scores level at 18-18 before Hosty's conversion put Siddal ahead for the first time at 20-18.

With four minutes left to play skipper Canaan Smithies touched down and Hosty's conversion put enough daylight between the two teams at 26-18 to allow Siddal to see the game out.
