Western Vikings’ Cheshire Bowl rugby campaign ended on Saturday with a 33-24 home defeat against Southern Nomads who have now won two from two and look likely to make the final.

Sam Kennaugh scored two of Nomads’ five tries with Mark Young, Curtis Kelly and Sean Christian getting the rest. Young also added four conversions.

Vikings replied with two from Regan Williams and one each from Joe Louw and Paul Wheeldon, with Harry Goodwin and Harvey Callister adding a conversion each.
