Burnley RUFC go down fighting at Keswick
The visitors looked much sharper in the opening period and dominated but could only gain a five point advantage before a Sam Mounsey penalty gave Burnley a glimmer of hope.
Keswick extended their lead shortly after but the hosts hit back yet again through a Danny Rowlands try to go in level at the break 10-10.
