Despite scoring very early on through a Joe Corkish try, Kirkham struggled to deal with a spirited performance from the opposition. The normal flow of the team was thrown off track despite tries from Charlie Partington and Cameron Wilkinson maintaining the pressure on the Ethelburga's side. It was only in the last quarter of the game that finally KGS started to ease away with a Cole Potts try starting the improvement. Two excellent tries by Adam Spence and Oliver Leatherbarrow allowed Kirkham to come out 36-20 winners. Hopefully KGS will learn from this experience as they travel to Harrow School in London for a match later in the week. **Tags:** [2018-2019](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2018-2019) [Sports](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/sports) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2018-11-11-remembrance-services) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2018-11-14-pupils-inspired-by-sir-henry-tonks) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
