YORKSHIRE DIVISION ONE
Selby 35
Dinnington 8

Numerous errors and a home side capable of capitalising saw the visitors suffer a heavy defeat.

Dinnington had to make some late changes to their line-up but still started brightly, making early ground.

The early lineouts worked well but Selby opened the scoring after seven minutes with a penalty.

Dinnington's forwards made 50 yards following a lineout and set up Ryan Donnelly for a try.

Much of the half was even between the two sides before Selby regained the lead with another penalty, after Dinnington were offside.

Dinnington were off target with a penalty attempt soon after but were then hit by two fortuitous home tries.

Firstly, at a Dinnington lineout on their own five metre line, the referee failed to spot Selby knocking the ball on before they pounced as it crossed the line.

Then, in the closing minute of the half, Selby took a quick penalty away from the mark and a cross-field kick set up an easy score for the full-back.

The second try was converted leaving Dinnington trailing 18-5 at the break.

Possession and territory-wise Dinnington were always in the game in the second half but despite long periods of pressure in the Selby 22 they could not score.

Selby extended their lead with a converted try, after missed tackles allowed them through, and then exchanged penalties just past the mid-point of the half to lead 28-5.

Darren Cannadine was on target for Dinnington.

Dinnington were completely out of the game when Selby used the advantage law well to run in their fourth try.

Dinnington take Skipton at home tomorrow. Kick off 2.15pm.

Cleckheaton II 14

DINNINGTON seconds came out on top in a close game, but were hanging on at the end as Cleckheaton rallied.

The early encounters were even with both sides having chances and doing some stout defending.

Midway through the half Cleckheaton produced an excellent move in the backs to score.

A conversiongave them a 7-0 lead.

Dinnington responded and kept play in the visitors' half, eventually winning a penalty which Mick Yeend kicked.

Selby came straight and another well-worked move brought a try which, again, was well converted.

Dinnington had to withstand a period of pressure as Cleckheaton looked to extend their lead before they pushed play back up field.

With five minutes of the half remaining Dinnington managed to drive the visitors back at a five-metre scrum and Alistair Beverley claimed a pushover try.
