Second-row Josh Potter scored five tries and set another up for centre Josh Thompson as York Acorn U12s continued their good form with a 52-0 rout over local rivals New Earswick.

All Blacks tried hard but Acorn were dominant and never eased off.

Prop Jackson Mitchell crashed in for his first try in three seasons and was joint-man-of-the-match with hooker Ali Fawcett, who added five goals. Debutant Jarred Smith did well in the forwards, and substitute winger JP Grenier showed good pace in his first game of the season to score.

Prop Ben Church was the most improved player, while other try-scorers were captain Harry Bromwich and Zak Agnew, who added a goal.
