LATCHFORD Albion made the long trip to Cumbria and paid the price for a slow start when they were defeated 46-14 by an impressive Hindpool Tigers side.
The slow start by the visitors, saw the hosts run in 24 unopposed points in the opening 15 minutes leaving Albion with an uphill task.
A length of the field effort by Chris Griffiths, shortly followed by a try out wide by centre Adam Wadsworth saw Latchford threaten to haul themselves back into the game, but a try on half time, saw the hosts in control 30 – 8.
The second half saw Hindpool score an early try to effectively cancel any thoughts Latchford had of an unlikely comeback.
Both teams traded tries in a more even second half, Albion’s points coming from a try by full back Carwyn
Chamberlain, converted by Chris Joynson, proving the highlight of a disappointing afternoon for Albion.
