The winter break seemed to have refreshed and recuperated the Keighley side as they took to the field looking to learn from their experience in the Yorkshire Cup defeat by York.

The winter break seemed to have refreshed and recuperated the Keighley side as they took to the field looking to learn from their experience in the Yorkshire Cup defeat by York.

Running play was the order of the day as direct and strong charging saw ground being made and sucked the opposition into committing players at the breakdown. This saw ball being released quickly and being fed down the back line. Keighley were looking like a complete team at last, mixing forward drives with backs handling. There was little response for some time from Baildon with any possession being gifted to them by mistakes from the home side.  When they did attack, however, robust tackling prevented significant ground being made and frequently the ball was turned over giving Keighley the chance to run towards the line once more.

Their strength paid off as the try tally mounted. Baildon were only able to muster a late consolation against a much changed twelve as Keighley rotated their players. This enabled new recruit Georgia Parker to be blooded and to play her part in the victory.

Tries from Ryan Gibson (3), Liam Brookes and Phoebe Welch secured the victory with conversions from Ryan Gibson (4) and Liam Brookes putting the icing on the cake.
