KELLS  28  V  SEATON  4

 CUMBRIA CUP 2nd ROUND



Outstanding Kells defence proved to be the winner in this game. Kells started the game having the pitch slope advantage and kept Seaton pinned on their own 20 yard line for the first 10 minutes. This constant pressure paid off when centre Keiran Halcrow scored a well worked try with scrum half Bradley Halcrow landing the conversion. Two minutes later Keiran Halcrow danced his way through five Seaton defenders from 30 yards out to touch down for a classy try, once again Bradley Halcrow converted. Seaton then bounced into life with Billy Southward being bundled into touch after a 60 yard run, Conor Fitsimmons was held up over the line twice and Nathan Postlethwaite dropping the ball with the line at his feet, once again the aggressive Kells defence held firm. After three sets on the Seaton line, Kells Robbie Johnstone crossed out wide with the last touch of the first half giving Kells a 16-0 advantage.

Seaton pressed hard down the slope in the second half and were awarded numerous penalties but still could not break through the Kells tackling. The try of the match came when Jake Corrie scored for kells after going through five pairs of hands which was brilliantly converted by Bradley Halcrow.

Seaton continued to press for some points and got their reward when centre Kieran Mewes powered over the line.

Hard running by Seaton forward Stewart Galacher seen him held up over the line. Kells had the last word when Richard Marr scored with Bradley Halcrow adding his fourth conversion.
