Betfred League One Round 15 Round-Up

Keighley Cougars maintained their 100 per cent record in Betfred League 1 this season by thrashing Cornwall 68-0 at Cougar Park.

Cougars chalked up a 14th straight win and a fourth-successive clean sheet to regain a four-point lead on North Wales Crusaders at the top of the table.

Junior S'au's first-half double and further tries from Alix Stephenson, Charlie Graham, Mo Agoro and Jack Miller, who added five first-half conversions, put the Cougars 34-0 up at the break.

Agoro added two more tries in the second half and, with Aaron Levy, Kyle Trout, Dan Parker and Lewis Young all going over - Miller booted five more extras - the Cougars cruised to victory.

Cornwall hooker Sam Gilder was carried off the field on a stretcher in the second half after being knocked out and the club later revealed he had been released from Airedale Hospital.

On Saturday night, North Wales Crusaders were convincing 76-4 winners at Welsh rivals West Wales Raiders, running in 13 tries to briefly close the gap on the Cougars.

Scott Turner, Alexander Eckley and Matt Reid all went over twice for Crusaders, while there were also tries for Ben Moores, Paul Nash, Gav Rodden, Tommy Johnson, Chris Barratt, Callum Hazzard and Rob Massam. Johnson kicked all bar one of his conversion attempts.

Kieran Tyrer touched down for the Crusaders' solitary score and they stay bottom, level on points with Cornwall.

Doncaster and Swinton Lions also racked up half-century scores as they won 64-12 and 54-22 against Oldham and Midlands Hurricanes respectively.
