The fitness of Keswick's first-team was a key factor in their game against Wigan.

It provided a platform from which they could dominate the game, and eventually win 4-1.

Steady build-up play from the back, involving Jamie O’Shea and Chris Mattear, established the foundation for some strong running from the midfield.

Tom Morgan and Clive Swanston put Wigan on the back foot and provided a constant threat.

The front line, particularly Rob Cook and Ricky Barnes, created numerous chances which were only thwarted by some good work from the Wigan goalkeeper.

Charlie Jackson opened the scoring with Cook adding a second soon after.

Surprisingly, it was Wigan who scored next after a rare attack, but the Keswick team were soon back on the front foot with Mark Proctor and Ben Harrison providing chances from good wing play.

Further goals were added from Morgan and Barnes.

With the regular season over, there are the end of season play-offs to come, and with form like this, Keswick should be a force to be reckoned with.

The second game of the day was the Men’s 3rd’s against Kendal, and once again, it proved to be a one-sided affair with Keswick running out 5-1 victors.

The goals were scored by Cameron Lawler, Paul Heap (2) and Benji Horwell (2).

Some of the third team players will have their eyes on a place in the 2nd team next year as University awaits a couple of their regular players.

The third game was the Ladies 1sts v Penrith when the winning sequence came to an end. Penrith came out on top 2-1.

The Keswick ladies created far more chances but were unable to convert them into goals.

Amy Walker’s running was a constant threat to the Penrith defence, with good support from Eloise Lawler and Anne-Marie Cowperthwaite.

On another day, Keswick could have had a hat full, but on this occasion, their only goal came from Amy Walker.

Keswick Ladies seconds travelled for a tough game against top of the table Carlisle 1st team.

It started well enough with them holding their own against the strong opposition but in the end they were well beaten 7-0.

Keeper Heather Thomas played exceptionally well, saving shots left, right and centre, and not surprisingly was Keswick’s player of the match.

As hard as Keswick fought and as heroically as Thomas performed, Carlisle had established a 5-0 lead at the break.

To their credit, Keswick stepped up their play in the second half and after 20 minutes, the score remained the same.

It was a quick break-out which saw Carlisle score their sixth goal and then a slip provided them with their seventh.

Although Keswick lost heavily, it was all valuable experience against a very strong team from which they can learn a lot.
