JACK SINCLAIR bagged a hat-trick as New Earswick All Blacks ran riot at White Rose Avenue with a 48-8 victory over Stainland Stags in Pennine League Championship.

The second row was back to his best after spending nearly a year on the sidelines as head coach Jack Stearman's side hit top form following a difficult start to the campaign.

On a heavy pitch, it took All Blacks only 12 minutes to break the deadlock as Liam Gargan executed a show and go to score. Tom Holmes was on target with the conversion at the start of a busy day.

Sinclair's first came five minutes later as he hit the gap to score on the right hand side. Holmes conversion put them 12-0 up and they further extended their lead eight minutes later.

Ollie Cook got his first score for New Earswick with a crash ball to go under the sticks and, once again, Holmes fired through the uprights. When winger Dean Smith opened his account for the year, after great hands found him open on the left to touch down in the corner, it was 24-0 with only half an hour gone.

The home side suffered their only serious blow of the game then as half-back Liam Gargan was forced to leave the fray. He could be on the sidelines for a few weeks with a broken thumb.

New Earswick began the second half in the same fashion as the first and, two minutes in, man of the match Sean Malarkey grabbed his second try of the season.

With Holmes deadly accurate with the boot, Sinclair's six minute double to secure his hat-trick - on 44 and 50 minutes, saw the lead extended to 42-0.

Concentration momentarily slipped for the All Blacks and, with nothing to close, Stainland chanced their arm. They were rewarded when their winger scored down the right side but they missed the conversion.

Centre Pete Richie would finish the scoring for the All Blacks, after being denied earlier, when diving over for his second of the season. Holmes was once again successful with the boot.

Stainland would have the last say on full-time.

A pleased Stearman said: "We still need to cut out the lapse in concentration that always occurs at some point in the game.

"Also, at times, we look as if we were chasing the game despite being 30 points up. I'm pleased with the buy in the lads have shown in 2016 and want to carry on the same way at Batley next week.”
