Nestle Rowntree Rugby Union Club's good pre-season training reaped rewards as they won 38-5 away to Malton and Norton third team.
Centre John Atkin, last season's top try scorer for Rowntree, raced over under the posts in the first few minutes. Captain Jim Baldwin powered over for a 12-0 interval lead.
Promising debut performances by Ian Shelton and brothers Jason and Dave Morgan helped Rowntree to further tries by flanker Rob Sellers, hooker Rob Lee, centre Steve Allerton and winger Pete Clarke, who finished off a 75 metres passing exchange by the backs. Centre Tony Armstrong scored Malton's try.
