The game was played by York with good passing and off loads and some fine displays of individual runs by New Earswick.

New Earswicks no 2 Brad I feel is one to watch for the future a very fast agile player

All in all a great fun night of rugby for players on both teams and looking forward to the next encounter

Comparison of rugby league and rugby union is possible because of the games' similarities and shared origins. Initially, following the 1895 split in rugby football, rugby league and rugby union differed in administration only. Soon however, the rules of rugby league were modified, resulting in two distinctly different forms of rugby. After 100 years rugby union joined rugby league, and most other forms of football, as an openly professional sport.One the most prominent differences between the two sports today is that rugby league has a system of limited tackles whereas rugby union does not. Also rugby union has retained the prevalent use of scrums. The inherent similarities between rugby league and rugby union has at times led to the possibility of a merger being mooted and experimental hybrid games have been played that use a mix of the two sports' rules
