A further converted try minutes later by Pepe saw the scoreboard go to 19-0. Towards the end of the half Wigton got into the game with a try of their own but just on the whistle some good forward pressure from the home side set up centre Matt Pennington to crash over. The converted try gave a half-time score of 26-5.
