York St John 1st vs. York 2nd
March 17th, 2010A disappointing Varcity game saw a misfiring York side blow their promotion dreams out of the water. A good season but second best doesn’t half reflect the potential of this team. Two lax twenty minute periods resulted in York St John’s build an unassailable 20-3 lead with just over twenty minutes reaming. Final result 23:13.

Sheffield Hallam 3rds vs. York 2nd
March 10th, 2010A good victory from a tired team still carrying various bumps and bruises from their encounter two days before against Sheffield Hallam 2nd XV. The final score of 66-5 didn’t fully reflect York’s dominance but good tries came from both props CRM and Wissen, as well as one from Wood and Bummer. Felgate scored two and T-bag picked up another hat-rick. Morty kicked 8 of the 10 conversions to see York win 66-5.

Huddersfield 1st vs. York 2nd
March 3rd, 2010Rishi put in a superb performance in what was a scrappy game ridden with injuries and astonishing decisions by the referee. York got the result though winning 40 points to 3 – yet in a tight league the 2nds were looking for a better points difference from this game.
