Bury travelled with just 10 players so Carnforth loaned them players to keep the fixture.

Seventeen tries were scored with 12 conversions – Bury deserved their try with Joe Harrison grabbing their five points  as well as one for Carnforth.

At Half time Carnforth were 55 points to the good and the second half was much of the same with Carnforth scoring at will – the Bury players never dropped their heads and were still putting in tackles and making forays  forward until the final whistle.

Brad Wheatman grabbed four tries, Kieron Morgan, Olly Murray, Dan Blenkharn and Mathew Short all got two each whilst Joe Harrison, Donald Haddow, Jason Waterhouse, Graham Rich and John Greenland notching one apiece.

Short grabbed eight conversions with Morgan and Wheatman claiming two each.
