York RUFC's under-8s team started their new season in the same winning style as they finished the last at under-7s level.

Against a competent Bradford and Bingley side, York defended well and with their extra pace and speed of passing, came out with a seven tries to four victory. York's scorers were Daniel Harrison (4), Jack Maud (2) and Jarrod Bambridge. The success sets the team up well before they defend the Morley Festival Trophy next weekend.
