The Cougars ended their Northern Rail Cup group campaign with a heavy 62-18 defeat at Barrow.

The pressure was off as Keighley had already qualified for the quarter-finals following three wins in their previous three games, allowing Barry Eaton to tweak his side.

Former Bulls back-rower Jamie Shepherd and hooker Tom Hall were handed debuts but they were up against it as Barrow took control from the start.

The Raiders were 36-0 up within 31 minutes before cruising to victory, Liam Harrison scoring a hat-trick and Jamie Rooney adding a try and nine goals.

Keighley crossed through Jonny Presley, George Rayner and Danny Jones, who also kicked three goals.
