Workington Reds pushed their hosts all the way into extra time but they could not make it to another play-off final.
Despite every effort Reds could not find a way back after going behind for the third time in the match.
David Symington and Dan Wordsworth brought them back on level pegging twice during the clash but the extra time goal from Jordan Archer proved to be a killer blow.
