AN ERROR-strewn, disjointed display with few plus-marks for Kendal to draw any comfort from.

By half-time Wharfedale had put the match beyond doubt with an 18-0 lead.

Final score was Kendal 0, Wharfedale 21.

Kendal only conceded three points in the second half and secured more possession than before the break, but never really threatened the visitors' try line.

Well-drilled Wharfedale opened the scoring with a fourth-minute penalty from Baggatt.

Captain and full back Hodgson shot through a glaring gap for the first try, which Baggatt converted to make it 0-10 after 14 minutes.

Another Wharfedale penalty followed and then Hodgson's curving blindside run set free No.

8 Sam Allen for the second unconverted try on 24 minutes.

After Kendal drove forward, Scott missed a penalty after 28 minutes when he slipped from 22 metres out in front of the posts.

Kendal turned round 18-0 down and were throwing poor passes out in the backs and losing possession.

Wharfedale added another penalty through Baggett after 48 minutes after a breakaway to complete the scoring and the best Kendal could do in reply came when replacement Dodds went clear from a quick tap penalty but the referee wanted it to be retaken.

Kendal rang the changes with several replacements and Voortman had Balmer clear on the right only for the ball to go to ground.

Wharfedale went over the Kendal tryline in stoppage time but the score was disallowed for a forward pass.

All in all, a performance which suggests it's back to the drawing-board for the Kendal coaching team.
