Kendal put last week’s defeat at Carlisle behind them to extend their lead at the top of North One West to three points, Vale of Lune becoming the latest side to find Mint Bridge more like Bitter Bridge this season.
Bolstered by the return of captain James Gough who scored the bonus-point try, the Hornets made hard work of it for the first hour before pulling away with three late tries in the biting Cumbrian wind.
Although across county borders, this game is a local derby of sorts with the two clubs only twenty-four miles apart, and they have been playing each other for well over a century.
The rain that had threatened to engulf South Lakeland all morning held off as the action got underway, Kendal unusually attacking the clubhouse end in the first half, but expecting to have the strong wind behind them in the second forty.
