Castleford Gate of 7,000? Sunday June 5 Pic Mike McKenzie Castleford assumed pole position in National League One after winning their top-of-the-table clash 42-24 at home to Whitehaven - the Cumbrians' first defeat of their campaign. Waine Pryce and Jon Hepworth scored two tries apiece as the Tigers made it seven successive victories. Whitehaven leaked seven first-half tries, including three while substitute forward Paul Davidson was in the sin bin for a series of high tackles. Steve Crouch, Michael Platt, Deon Bird and Tommy Haughey also crossed for Castleford while Wes Wilson, David Fatialofa, Carl Sice and Aaron Lester replied for the outclassed Cumbrians.
