Egremont 26 Seaton 8 This was a tough game
of rugby played in atrocious conditions. It was scoreless after 15 mins
due to some great defence by both sides. Egremont took a 6-0 lead before
Nathan Kirkbride broke the line to bring Seaton back into the game. On
the back of a heavy penalty count Egremont scored 2 quick tries to take
a 14-6 lead. A great ball by Richard Johnstone put Carl Stephenson into
a gap and the big second rower handed off the full back to bring the
score back to 14-8 at half time. The second half was a war of attrition
and for 20 mins neither team could find their way through some
uncompromisable defence. Playing down the slope Egremont began to gain
better field position and 2 late tries by them clinched the points.
