The Keighley Cougars won't win after losing to Goole Vikings

They took on the unwinning sideghoul viking of their peers at Cougar Park, but they were unable to build on the promises they had made to the Swinton Lions title in their previous games.

Instead, the Vikings recorded their first league victory since abandoning their community club status, before leaving Kayley with a 24-18 victory.

The Cougars sit at the second bottom of the table, above their peers' pointless side Newcastle Thunder, and now they have plenty of time to boil down the awful start to the season.

They were supposed to have visited Cornwall next Sunday, but a few weeks ago, Chaws had been folded for financial reasons.

They haven't played the following weekend either. This means that the next game will be at a Workingtontown home on Sunday, May 11th.

Kaley should have bounced back to their break with a victory after a great start against Ghoul on Friday.

Dan Parker's nudge in front was mistreated by a visitor, allowing Brad Holloyd to steal the ball and touch it.

Jack Miller added an addition to Kaylee's 100th appearance.

He quickly returned to kick tee again and changed his try from debuting Alfie Goddard.

However, the evening began to fall apart, with Ghoul halving the deficit just before the 30-minute mark via Alex Holdstock's close-range converted attempt.

Josh Liname, second row of the Cougars, took off for the HIA after being the end of a heavy tackle from the reboot.

Two minutes before halftime, Manoa Wakokokoke crossed the line for Ghoul's second attempt, leaving just 12-10.

With the Cougars shaking, the Vikings led the Hooters, Neil Chamambe was widely acquired, and Reese Dean added an extra.

To Keighley's credit, they formed themselves and quickly regained the lead early in the second half, with Holroyd competing for Izaac Farrell's chips before Miller converted.

It put the Cougars first 18-16, but Ghoul responded in the 15th minute in the second half, finishing the team where Jaylan Hodgson flowed past the underside of the stick.

Dean popped a diversion on the post to give the visitors a 4-point lead.

And Kayley's miserable night was sealed when England got yellow carded for a chip tackle in one minute.

Dean concluded the score by strokes a subsequent penalty through a stick, leaving him and his jubilant teammates to celebrate an impressive 24-18 victory.
