Scarborough ease to Keighley victory

Keighley got themselves back into the game in an evenly-contested second quarter and reduced the arrears to seven points with a close-range try by Hooker Shaun Minikin, converted by off-half Alex Brown on the half-hour and trailed 14-7 at the break.

The visitors took control after the break but a combination of good home defence and an outbreak of white-line fever saw them fail to capitalise on their territorial and physical possession.

Scarborough stretched their lead to 19-7 on the hour on a rare incursion into Keighley territory when prop Nino Cutino powered over from a catch and drive.

In an exciting last 10 minutes Harrison stretched the lead to 22-7 with a penalty before a try from number eight Lee Sugden gave Keighley hope.

However a late flourish from Scarborough saw slick work down their left flank release centre Tom Ratcliffe to sell a cute dummy and glide over to seal a bonus point victory at 27-15.
