UNDER-STRENGTH York City Knights reserves were beaten 74-16 at Featherstone Rovers.

The Knights' 21-man squad was reduced to a travelling party of 15 by illness, injury and work commitments, and Kris Peacock and Danny Wilson were then delayed en route.

The visitors' try scorers were Wilson, who arrived at the ground midway through the first half, Luke Hardbottle and Luke Helliwell. Jon Schofield kicked two conversions.
