Selby Warriors welcomed back several players who missed last week's heavy defeat and put that episode behind them with a 26-0 win at Victoria Rangers 'A' to go top of Pennine League division five.

Captain Carl Bardauskas scored an early opener, racing in from 60 yards, and Warriors stretched their lead to 8-0, which they held at the break, when the returning Andy Rowe forced his way over.

Selby props Paul Friar and Brian Dixon and second-row Danny Watson, all on the touchline last week, put in big first-half efforts, and the backs gave a much-improved performance.

At the other end, Vics never looked like scoring, and with a slight slope in their favour in the second half Selby soon upped their lead when Rowe scored his second wide out after good work from Ramskill.

Wayne Fennell goaled and then scored two converted tries to give the scoreline an air of reality.
