Hunslet's PNG boys are here, muffled up like eskimos and who can blame them.
Crowd about 250 brave and hardy souls
Talk that Waterman's yellow was for laying on
Danny Hill and Chris Clough were the players who caught the eye in the first half for YCK.
42 Waller driving in, offload lost by Bromilow.
43 Robinson kick through rolled dead
44 Freer and Waller proving handful for Hawks defence and subsequent Thorman chip caught by supporting Ratcliffe to score under posts. Thorman converting 36-12
51 Helliwell and Bromilow prompting Knights forward, Blakeway knocked on close to line in tackle
54 More pressure and Thorman's cutout pass to Ratcliffe for try on right. Conversion by Thorman wide 40-12
56 Handbags involving Helme, spoken to by ref. Knights penalty and more field position
58 Short, clever pass by Peacock and a clever step back inside by Bromilow to go over, Thorman with the two 46-12
All Freer's work first class, constantly making yards
59 Helme finally sinbinned for more poor discipline
62 Thorman chip through spilled by Young in own 20
63 Lazy arm on Jordan Ross, another penalty to Knights. Poor pass over Benson's shoulder.
65 Good jink and run in midfield for Hawks by Scott
Hardbottle working hard as McLocklan milks a penalty for York
68 Fine pass from Bromilow met at pace by Hardbottle on 20 metre line to outpace the cover 50-12
69 Knights misjudged restart kick. Hawks ball on York 20.
Attendance 353
71 Tidy Scott grubber kick with Hunslet attackers just failing to touch down
73 High tackle by Aitcheson on Wilson
75 40-20 kick for Hawks
77 Riettie fielded Tomlinson kick in goal
78 Hawks probing but good Knights defence and then a Hawks knock-on
Official MOM Chris Clough but probably Chris Thorman who has been superb
FT 50-12
A game performance from the Hawks second string against a very comfortable Knights outfit who showed a lot of attacking options on the night

i also watched the match last night and i believe York will be the run a way leaders in the division. Thorman was class at this level but they are strong in all departments.

Dont think you can write Hunslet off, remember this was only their second string, but I do agree York will take some beating.
