Kendal Development XV cup match

Kendal got off to the worst possible of starts in their tough cup tie away at Silloth when unfortunately they had to start the game with fourteen players due to a car being delayed travelling to the match.

Silloth took full advantage scoring two converted tries in the opening four minutes of the game.

Ten minutes into the game & Kendal were up to their full complement of players. With the scrum & especially the lineout working really well Kendal established a platform & through a brilliant piece of individual play from flanker Josh Chaplow he powered through the home defence after collecting turnover ball & breaking several tackles he scored from 40 metres out. Shaun Garnett was successful with the conversion & added a penalty late in the half to pull the score back to 14-10 at halftime.

Silloth's 1st team experience told in the second half as they ran in two quick tries & added two tries late in the half for a final score of 38-10.

Despite the score line Kendal can take a lot of positives out of the game & have a solid performance on which they can build when their league programme starts on 14th September at home to Millom.
