Kendal overcame atrocious weather conditions and a dogged Penrith side to claim four precious points in today’s Cumbrian derby.
The temperature may not have been quite freezing at Mint Bridge but a howling north-easterly wind made it feel so, and the game was punctuated by spells of driving hail that would have made even the hardest forward think occasionally about a hot shower.
After a difficult first forty minutes that saw few scoring opportunities, Kendal took control with three tries in the second half with three tries to keep up the pressure on Birkenhead Park and Kirkby Lonsdale at the top of the table.
