Two games took place tonight in the Northern Rail Cup.
First Keighley took an early evening trip to Barrow and were caned 62-18 with Jamie Rooney scoring 22 personal points.
Barrow ran into a half-time 40-6 lead with a whirlwind start. Liam Harrison got the Raiders moving after four minutes and further tries soon followed from Michael Knowles, Rob Roberts and Andy Ballard before Harrison went over again. Chris Larkin continued the rout with two tries either side of the half hour mark while Rooney kicked six goals. Jon Presley scored the Cougars only try of the first half and that was goaled by Danny Jones.
Rooney scored a try he converted before Nathan Mossop slipped through the defence and Harrison completed his hat-trick after 53 minutes. Jones pulled a try back for Keighley and George Rayner also touched down for the Cougars nd Jones added his third goal but the Raiders had the final say when Brett McDermott touched down and Rooney kicked his 9th goal.
London Skolars reportedly took the train to York but like a fortnight earlier it was a familiar story as they lost 34-12 despite a spirited show.
Jonathan Schofield opened the scoring for York after eleven minutes and Skolars frustrated their opponents with some good defence restricting the City Knights to just two further tries. Australian Casey Bromilow scored the first after 26 minutes before Mark Applegarth went over three minutes before the break. With former BARLA man Lee Waterman continuing his impressive point scoring with three conversions, York led 18-0 at the break.
Matty Duckworth got York's first try of the second half after 43 minutes to establish a match-winning advantage but Rob Montgomery scored for the Skolars just before the hour mark.
Bromilow claimed his second after 62 minutes before the prolific Waterman added a customary try to his five goals. There was still enough time for London to score a second try through Stephen Ball and Jamie Boston kicked two goals for Skolars but it wasn't enough to give the Southerners victory.
