YORK RI have been decimated by injuries and unavailbility since the start of the Yorkshire Three campaign, but have still managed to win three of their four games.

The latest came when a reshaped side, including 17-year-old winger Craig Garnett, won 24-20 at Stocksbridge.

Team manager Nigel Lowry said: "It has been a bit backs to the wall for the last few weeks with injuries and unavailability, but the boys have done well and produced good results."

They will be looking to improve that record when they entertain Moortown at New Lane when prop Andy Morse returns to the side after being out through work commitments.

But goal-kicker Matthew Yates and centre Stuart Watson are ruled out and second row John Alexander is away on an accountancy course.
