In-form Malton & Norton produced their best performance of the Yorkshire One campaign to win 38-13 at Wath-on-Dearne.

They made the breakthrough on three minutes when fly-half Nick Daley sent centre Vusumzi Dyantjies over and Zwelakhe Sodladla converted.

Centre Josh Heggie raced over between the posts and Sodladla again added the extras and the home side could only register two penalties before the interval to turn around at 14-6.

Malton opened the second half with a flourish. Number eight Mark Bradshaw broke and handed on to wing Ian Cooke for the third try and Sodladla added the conversion.

Wath responded with a try from a clean catch and drive to make it 21-13, but Malt skipper Sam Triffitt restored the 15-point gap with the bonus point try, again goaled by Sodladla.

Sodladla was sent to the sin-bin but Malt soaked up any Wath pressure and, from a late lineout, substitute John Lumley touched down. Cooke added the extras.

York were unable to repeat the previous week’s Yorkshire Shield heroics against Doncaster Phoenix at Clifton Park as they lost 23-16 in Yorkshire One.

Doncaster opened the scoring from a lineout catch and drive on five minutes, but George Davis kicked a penalty to get York on the scoreboard.

Davis edged York into the lead with a second penalty, but a converted try just before the break gave Doncaster a 12-6 advantage.

Phoenix secured another three points from a penalty after the break, but Toby Atkins beat a number of defenders in a solo run to score an excellent try.

Josh Britland chipped over the advancing Doncaster defensive line and collected his own kick, with Curtis Fletcher on hand to go over for York’s second try to put them 16-15 in front.

A lineout catch and drive led to a try from the league leaders and, having snatched back the lead, they added a late drop goal to seal their tenth win of the campaign.
