Vagabonds off to good start

Vagas hit back to within a point with two Jonny Beckley penalties before Ormskirk turned the screw again with a Kieran Mahood try before Beckley snatched one back for Vagas to leave it 12-11 at half-time.

Barry Whalley kicked a second half penalty for Ormskirk but tries from Chris Neale and Jamie Cooke snatched the game for Vagabonds.
