Sandal B vs York (Away)

Pre-match training again at 9:45, with a very pleasing 14 player turnout.

The first game up was against Sandal B team; York as usual put out teams that gave all an opportunity to play and contribute.

Barney quickly did one of his trademark touchline runs to put York into the lead (0-5). The York forwards (Joe, Alex and Fraser) were playing well now against a sizeable Sandal pack. Sam made a couple of excellent runs with the ball to make good ground into the Selby half, with the ever speedy Pari making a superb cross-pitch run to extend the lead (0-10).

Sandal were getting better organised now and a brilliant run virtually the whole length of the pitch pulled one back for the home side (5-10). However, Barney made a great solo effort from the restart to widen the gap again (5-15).

York were really demonstrating some terrific team skills and interplay, with Pari scoring two more tries (5-20, 5-25).

Sandal came back strongly in what turned out to be a particulalry physical and closely phase of the the match. However, Oliver scored for York again on a penalty restart (5-30). Excellent teamwork from York as Toby H selflessly passed through to Josh to extend the lead (5-35). The York forwards were by now controlling the play, culminating in a pass from Josh to Barney to score again and complete the game (5-40).

Final Score Sandal B 5-40 York.
