OUR 2012 season ended at Derwent Park on Sunday (September 9) when a last-gasp try by Workington centre Jason Mossop ended our interest in the Championship One play-off series for another year.

MARTIN Roden’s Roughyeds produced their best display since early season to beat high-flying Workington Town at Whitebank on Sunday (August 19) and thus rekindle realistic hopes of finishing in the play-offs.

OUR hopes of finishing in the top six for play-off purposes suffered a setback when we were well beaten by the highest-scoring team in the division in Martin Roden’s first game in charge as caretaker boss.
