Keighley 2nd XV 14 Brodleians 2nd XV 5 - Keighley played well to defeat a team who normally have the upper edge.

Returning back from injuries were Andy Bennett and Lee Gordon and both showed they were back to normal.

Bennett was more than a match for the opposition in the lineouts, and put in one run early in the first half which gained a good 40 yards. Gordon was as busy as usual harrying the opposition backs as well driving hard when he had the ball into the Brods' defences.

Keighley in the first five minutes had a chance to open the scoring, but Ben Woodwiss's penalty kick slipped wide of the uprights. Wright next was held up short in the right hand corner. Still camped on the Brods' try line Keighley drove the opposition's pack back in a scrum and Simon Atkin dived on the ball to score the first try. Woodwiss did not make a mistake with the conversion kick and he added the two extra points.

The next to be given a chance to score was Sam Cotterill on the left wing but a hard tackle drove him into touch.

Keighley were keeping the ball close to their forwards and inside centre Matt Lockwood was kept very busy driving the ball into the heart of the defence with some telling runs.

The second half was also a tight affair with neither side being able to break down the other's defence. Greenwood and Woodwiss were using the wind when ever they could to gain yardage with good kicks. The front three of Schofield, Scott and Fitzsimmons were excellent in both the scrums and the loose. Fitzsimmons on two occasions covering back to help the backs recover kicks.

At last a drive by the Keighley pack into the Brods' 22 reaped a result. After three forwards had picked up and driven, Atkin latched on to the ball and he brushed aside two would-be tacklers to score. Woodwiss converted the try.

Brods had lost one their props due to a back injury. As they had no replacement the scrums went to unopposed. This seemed to kill off the game and the referee decided he'd had enough and whistled for the end of the game.
