Martin Tickner reports

Wigton comfortably won this fixture against a spirited Creighton team who never gave up and were committed throughout the game.

Early tries from Billy Stafford, James Wilson, Ryan Wannop and John Story plus 3 conversions by Richard Moffatt gave the home team a bonus point after only 27 minutes and a 26-0 lead. Further first half tries by Bomber Harris, Josh Leeson and Matt Harrison saw Wigton hold a half time lead of 41-0.

The second half started with Wigton in the ascendency as firstly Fraser Ledingham touched down under the posts closely followed by a second try for Bomber and with Elliot Armstrong in close support to the runners, he touched down for his first try all converted by Richard Moffatt for a 62-0 advantage.

Wigton finished with a flourish adding 3 more tries by Fraser Ledingham, a third for Bomber and one for Richard Moffatt as Wigton finished the match with 13 tries and 7 conversions for a 79-0 victory.
