New Earswick ARLC under-17s got their season off to the best possible start with a 42-4 win at Whinmoor.

Bobby Quigley powered his way over, Sam Waite beat three men on his way to the corner, and Bri Wright finished the first period with a try under the posts for a 14-0 half-time lead.

All Blacks' dominance continued in the second half with further tries from Wright and the excellent Dan Atkinson. The hard-working Andy Jackson set up tries for impressive full-back Rob Thrall and Jack Sinclair, and Earswick saved the best till last with the ball going through several pairs of hands before Sinclair touched down to add to his five goals for a personal tally of 18 points.
