Castleford could not keep the winning feeling going as they lost to Sheriff Hutton Bridge in the second round of the Viking Cup.

After Bridge responded to being put in by making 258-8 Castleford were left with a tough task when Duckworth Lewis Stern rules stated they needed 147 from 15 overs following rain.

They did not get close to knocking the runs off as they could only manage 78-5 with Liam Hyde and Clark both making 29.

Sheriff Hutton's innings had owed much to Alex Liley's 81, made from 79 balls, while Matthew Rees was Castleford's most successful bowler with 3-56.
