After last week’s defeat at the hands of Kendal they were
keen to get a win at home to Kirkby. They started brightly and took the lead
after two minutes through a Luscombe penalty, and they should’ve extended their
lead through Coleman just seconds later but they failed to convert. The miss
wouldn’t come back to bite them as they extended the lead, Dave Coleman was
found out wide and he sprinted through to get a try and it was converted.
Kersal continue to attack the Kirkby defence and it didn’t take them long to
get another try, as an overhead pass picked out the runner who touched down for
the second try. There was something of a turning point for Kirkby after that as
they started to get back into the game and they responded with two tries of
their own, one converted. Kersal once again took control of the game with two
more tries of their own. Harry Luscombe
converted both and scored the second running under the posts leaving an easy
conversion.
Half-Time Score: Kersal 29-12 Kirkby Lonsdale
Kirkby, obviously disappointed from their first half performance,
went all out in the second. Their pressure led to many mis-placed passes from
Kersal and the inevitable happened as Kirkby straight away got back into the
game as a clearance was blocked by an incoming Kirkby player and little was
left to do but get the try. After the converted try Kirkby 
continuously attacked
and got a try around 10 minutes later but failed to convert. In the dying
minutes it had looked like Kirkby had got a draw from the game after equalising
through the last minute try but that wasn’t the end of it. The last effort of
the game Kersal found space out right and Dave Coleman surged through to win
Kersal the game 36-29.Full-Time Score: Kersal 36-29 Kirkby Lonsdale
