With a try count of four to one and a scoreline of 33-16 Percy Park ran out worthy winners at Bower Park. 

Aspatria’s first away points of the season lifted them clear of the Regional Two North relegation zone.

After their wake-up call the week before against Middlesbrough, Penrith couldn't be accused of complacency or underestimating the opposition in the first 20 minutes against Aspatria at Bower Park.

Aspatria start their pre-season in earnest tomorrow when they visit old friends Tarleton for a warm-up game – very apt in the weather conditions!

Shorn of several regulars, lost to a mix of a stag party, holiday and work commitments, this was not a day to be visiting the league leaders Percy Park on their own ground.

Aspatria went down 17-5 at table-topping Northern in a game of some quality, played in near perfect conditions.
