Harrogate vs Yarnbury

The home side played consistently badly making basic errors throughout a deeply frustrating game. Harrogate put the visitors under pressure but looked unconvincing and conceded a penalty goal in the first half before the visitors scored the first of their two tries to take a 0 - 8 lead into the interval.

The game was rather disjointed with many penalties being conceded.

In the second half Hal Butler, who was by some distance the home team's man of the match, scored the first of his two tries following some neat work by Callum Irvine and Cam Roberts. Irvine added the extras.

Yarnbury responded with their second try as they were given the freedom of the Harrogate half. It was no surprise when one of the visitors took the opportunity to run nearly 50 metres to score breaking a number of ineffectual attempts to tackle.

Crucially Yarnbury missed the conversion.

Towards the end of the game Hal Butler scored his second try and and Irvine was successful with his conversion to give an improbable and undeserved victory.
