Sweeney Shines

By Ryan Carter

Millom secured their first away win of the Cumbria league season against a plucky Creighton side.

The visitors big pack were able to dominate the set pieces from the off and this provided a great platform for stand-off Ryan Carter to utilise the strong running centre partnership of Trevor Dixon and Craig Wilson,both crossed the whitewash, with full back Dougie Jardine and winger David James adding to the score.

On the opposite wing the inform Hugh Aweeney scored a hat trick for the second week running and accumulated a total of 33 points in his man-of-the-match performance.

However Millom finished the game with only 14 men due to injuries to prop Kieran Rogan (knee), second row jonny wilson (ankle), flanker Kevin Rogan (concussion) and No 8 James Wilson (knee).

The reorganisation had an effect on Millom's control of the game and Creighton rallied well in the final 15 minutes to score three tries to earn a scoring bonus point from the game.
