Sandal Festival

First Game – Otley.

A welcome opportunity for York to take revenge after the previous weeks defeats at Otley. The opening game for York was a close, tense contest, with both teams seeming a little nervous. No scores in the first half. The deadlock was broken by Tom M in the second half (0-5), and Toby P put the game beyond Otley's reach (0-10). Final Score Otley 0-10 York.

Second Game - West Park Leeds

Another good effort by York in this game, with three tries being scored all in the first half by Toby P, and Steele (x2). Final score West Park Leeds 0-15 York.

Third Game - Roslyn Park

The team from London came with a great reputation, and proved to be extremely well drilled and skilled, in particular in the scrums and rucks. York worked very hard, but it was Roslyn who took the lead in the firstr half (5-0). Again great effort by York in the secoind half, but thwarted by a solid Roslyn defence, and the London side were able to add two more tries for a well deserved victory Final score Rosyln Park 15-0 York.

An anxious wait to see if we would make the semi-finals. In a complicated try score count back, we were unfortunate not to go through and had to settle for 5th/6th playoffs (see separate report)
