Jonah Holmes goes in at the double for Yorkshire Carnegie

The winger’s brace, allied to an effort from centre Pete Lucock, was enough for Bryan Redpath’s side to pick up victory.

Carnegie, who host derby rivals Rotherham Titans on Sunday, led 23-14 at the break in hooker Phil Nilsen’s 200th appearance for the club but could only then add a penalty through Joe Ford.

Holmes scored the first of his double inside seven minutes although that was soon wiped out by Scottish hooker Dave Cherry, Peter Lydon converting.

Ford added a penalty and converted Holmes’s second after the winger latched on to Alex Davies’s kick following a turnover.

Scottish saw George Cullen yellow-carded for a deliberate knock-on which allowed Ford to slot another penalty. The hosts scored a second try when down to 14 men, Taniela Koroi burrowing over with Lydon improving.

A quality counter-attack from full-back Chris Elder set up position for a third Carnegie try, Lucock scoring.

Carnegie dominated possession in the second period but had little to show for it and, in the 70th minute, Ford was sin-binned.
