Rufforth lifted the Nestl Rowntree Centenary Invitation Cup after a 4-0 defeat of hosts Rowntree in the final at Mille Crux.

Jimmy Collins was the hero, scoring a hat-trick for the winners, with Andy Triffit getting the other.

In blustery conditions, Collins gave Rufforth the lead on 25 minutes and doubled the advantage before half-time after latching onto a Nestl error.

Triffit grabbed the third on 50 minutes following a great run and, although Rowntree pushed forward and went close several times, Collins completed the scoring at the death.

Rowntree manager David Broxup presented the trophies.
