Parton kicked off with the wind in their favour and Seaton pressed.  After ten minutes play COULTHARD secured a try for Seaton.  Shorly after SANDWITH kicked a goal, and at half-time Seaton led by five points to nil. On resuming Seaton continued to press, and shortly before the finish Jack FLETCHER scored a try which SANDWITH converted.  Result:----- Seaton, 10 points; Parton, nil.                           ***************              MARYPORT  v.  WHITEHAVEN                         RECREATION.       At Maryport on Saturday in cold weather and before a small gate.  Maryport started with 14 men, but SMITH came on later.  Whitehaven started against the wind, and for a time play was even.  The Recreation at length invaded, but were soon driven back.  MILBURN when carried play to Maryport were penalised in a dangerous position.  FITZSIMMONS failed at the kick.  The Recreation came away with a rush to the Mary- port line, where MARLAND saved.  The Rec- reation being penalised, TIMONEY made a poor attempt.  Half-time arrived with no score.  After the change of ends Maryport dribbled up, but by too hard kicking lost the advantage and FITZ- SIMMONS saved after a hard race.  The Rec- reation reversed matters and Maryport were put on the defensive.  Play remained then in neutral ground.  HETHERINGTON made a good but unsuccessful drop at goal, and ATKINSON taking a pass from TIMONEY nearly got over. Result:---Maryport, nil;  Whitehaven Recreation, nil.                           ***************            WORKINGTON  v. WATH BROW.                            At Lonsdale Park, on Saturday, before a fair "gate."  The Visitors had the advantage of a strong wind in the first half and monopolised the play throughout.  Aggressive back play afforded many fine opportunities and RUMNEY and Dan WILSON ran in tries, both of which GOULDIE converted. In the second half Workington had all the best of the game, but the Hoppers defended stubbornly and their line could not be crossed.  Result:--- Wath Brow, 2 goals  2 tries;  Workington, nil.                           ***************     LANCASHIRE SENIOR COMPETITION.                         ***************                   RADCLIFFE  v.  MILLOM.       At Radcliffe, on Saturday.  The home team attacked, but the visitors soon had the advan- tage and crossed Radcliffe's line.  HACKING appeared to have been obstructed, but the referee allowed the try, ROWE failing at goal. Radcliffe were soon attacking again, but Millom were more fortunate in their attempts to score.  While Radcliffe claimed for a throw forward AUSTIN walked between the posts. A try was allowed, and ROWE converted.  Half- time:--Millom, 8 points;  Radcliffe, nothing. HACKING kicked at goal, and was only a yard short.  SMITH also just miss dropping a goal.  At length Radcliffe were awarded a penalty and SMITH kicked a goal.  Play remained near the Millom line, and SMITH made another good attempt at goal.  Result: --Millom, 8 points;  Radcliffe, 2 points.                           ***************
