Siddal made the long journey to Cumbria, having to field four hookers and three half backs, due to injuries, holidays and suspensions but still came away with the victory after a Trojan defensive effort.
Siddal were under the cosh from the very first minute with Brow's lively half back pairing bossing their forwards around the park. Stand in skipper, George Ambler, Cole Wilson, Jack Georgiou and Dan Williams were colossal in defence, frustrating their hard running opponents and keeping their own line intact. The visitors took a two point lead in the twelfth minute, courtesy of a Chris Brooke penalty. Impressive hooker, Billy Gaylor, scooted thirty metres upfield when he caught Brow's defence napping at a play the ball in a rare Siddal attack.
The hosts dominance of the ball finally reaped some reward when fullback, Trotter, finished off a fine move to score wide out, missing with his conversion attempt. Three minutes later, Trotter was it again, as he and Boyce combined to give Brow an 8-2 lead. Siddal never gave in and on the last play of the half, McCormack threw out a lovely ball for the strong running Williams to skittle the defence, Brooke adding the extras to even the tie up 8-8 at half time.

Siddal’s first half outstanding defensive heroics seemed to give them confidence and it was their turn to dominate the game with Christian Ackroyd, Jake Smith and McCormack making inroads behind a mobile and forceful pack. Freddie Walker showed his class as he caused havoc for the hosts, turning defence into attack every time they kicked to him. After great work from Tom Garratt, Jake Smith's accurate kick on the last saw the ever improving Henry Turner re-gather and dive over in the corner to give his side a four point advantage at 8-12. Once again Siddal siddal has to stand up in defence, with Eddie Ainley and Danny Rushworth tackling way above their weight. The heroic visitors kept out a frustrated Brow attack for three consecutive sets of six on their own line. On the hour, Garratt thought he had extended his side's lead only to have been adjudged to have lost the ball when grounding it. Ambler then crashed over but his effort was disallowed for a forward pass but in the 74th minute the visitors got the try they deserved when Jake Smith darted over from ten metres out, Brooke adding the extras. This was a very impressive display that must have pleased Siddal’s coaching staff of Daz Phillips and Gareth English and gives them a few headaches for team selection in the coming weeks.
