Glasson Rangers won the all-Maryport battle in the BARLA Cumbria Cup opener on Saturday.

Glasson travelled to face Ellenborough Rangers and just clinched a tight game 18-10.

Ellenborough prop John Stoddart worked tirelessly throughout to earn himself the man of the match award, alongside Rhys Burr.

Glasson have now earned themselves a trip to Roose Pioneers in the second round.

Maryport could not raise a team for their cup tie with Hensingham so the Whitehaven side were awarded the tie and have a home game in round two against Cumbria Men's League champions Distington.

The friendly game between Broughton Red Rose and Wath Brow was cancelled due to bad weather last night.
