Injury-hit York suffered a third consecutive defeat as they went down 14-3 at home to Keighley.

The West Yorkshire side’s victory moved them above York into fifth place, with the Clifton Parkers’ only points coming from the boot of Ben Johnson.

York went into the game with a patched up side and, although they produced a committed performance, they were unable to compete.

Forward Andy Kay said: “It’s not easy when you have to play without so many first choice players.”
