Keighley Cougars 38 Workington 10: Jones injury takes the shine off Cougars win

Jon Presley stole the show with a hat-trick of tries but Cougars' kicker Danny Jones was brought off at half-time with an arm injury.

His exit saw some of the spark leave the home side but it was already game over for Workington.

Cougars struck first when Dan Belcher ran on to the ball and eased over the line on the fifth minute. Danny Jones converted.

Cougars continued to keep the ball and Ben Sagar crossed the try line twice in quick succession but Jones failed to convert.

Workington were punished again when Presley split the defence open to score under the posts. Jones converted.

Town's Mike Backhouse was sent to the sin bin after not realising when the tackle was complete and Cougars took advantage as Brendon Rawlins crossed for an easy try with Jones converting.

Workington scored first in the second half after 54 minutes when James Finch crossed the try line.

Scott Kaighan missed the goal.

Cougars replied on the 64th and 68th minutes with Presley registering his hat-trick and Dan Belcher tagging on both goals.

With seven minutes remaining, Andrew Beattie got a consolation try for the Cumbrians in the left hand corner. Kaighan added the goal.

The Cougars finished the game the stronger side and were worthy winners.
