New Earswick All Blacks ARLFC toppled Selby Warriors 32-16 in a York and District Cup semi-final which was tighter than the scoreline suggested.

Winger Adam Kirby and hooker Jack Hodgson were early try-scorers. From the second, Nick Speck kicked the first of four conversions in the tie.

A Liam Gargan try put New Earswick 16-0 up at half-time after which Selby roused and replied through centre Matthew Irving.

But touchdowns from centre Jack Sinclair and full back Steve Perks put the York side in command.

Selby bravely countered with another try from Irving added to an effort by Paul Berryman, but a second Sinclair try ended the scoring.
