Round-Up: Edwards returns after four years out

On a pitch described as "just playable" at the Gannock, and in front of a large crowd for this popular derby, Malton fought their way back from a 19-12

half-time deficit.

York had opened the scoring with a penalty goal by John Dawes and, although Malton briefly led through a try by centre Teei Piawi, York then took control with tries from winger Charlie Nicholson and hooker John Buxton.

Full-back Tom Newitt and winger Josh Saunders were Malton's other try scorers, Piawi converting one and adding a hat-trick of penalties.

Second-placed Sheffield now have a match in hand after their game at North Ribblesdale was postponed because of ground conditions.

York's losing bonus point puts them to within a point of Knottingley, whose home match against Bridlington was another victim of the weather.

Scarborough moved ahead of Bridlington when they scored a 22-13 home victory over higher-placed Selby in the day's other Yorkshire One match.

Selby were ahead 13-7 at the break with second-row Brendan Lanaghan and full-back Ben Lunt scoring tries and Jonathan Barton adding a penalty.

Scarborough's first-half try came from centre Paul White while stand-off TH Grace added the conversion.

Selby were caught cold after the break, and No 8 Chris Lee added a second try for Scarborough in the first minute of the half. Stand-off Marcus Edwards – making his first appearance after four years out with a knee injury – kicked a penalty on 55 minutes and converted from the touchline following winger Harry Domett's 67th-minute-try.

Yorkshire Two: Huddersfield YMCA strengthened their lead with a 19-11 win at Hullensians after conceding the only try of the first half.

Hullensians took the lead with a try by left winger Tom McCarthy to turn round 5-0 ahead, but YMCA gained the upper hand after the restart with tries from winger Adam Ryder and forwards Jack Housley and James Bell, two converted by John Smith.

Hull's second-half points came from two penalties by Chris Smith.

A hat-trick of tries inside the first half hour by full-back Nick Bennett put second-placed Pocklington on their way to a 62-8 home victory over West Leeds.

Pocklington were 17 points up in as many minutes, Bennett having scored all those points, and he finished the game with a tally of 32 points from his three tries, seven conversions and a penalty.

Right winger Dan Pickard added two tries, and there were others from left wing Joe Holbrough, centre Tim Nixon, prop Chris Morton and No 8 Matt Davies.

The visitors' points came from a try by right winger Danny Thorpe and a penalty by Danny Monk.

Barnsley continued their revival with a 17-0 win at Moortown to climb up to fourth place behind Huddersfield YMCA, Pocklington and Moortown.

Captain and second row Ed Norris touched down after 13 minutes as Barnsley led 5-0 at the break.

Prop Thomas Naseby added the second which Patrick Jensen converted, and Naseby added a third try 10 minutes later to secure the win.

Barnsley and Moortown are level on league points but Moortown, who have a game in hand, are currently in third place by virtue of their greater number of wins.

Yorkshire Three: Unbeaten leaders Wath on Dearne were left without a match when their scheduled visitors Old Otliensians refused to play, claiming that ground conditions were dangerous.

Rotherham Phoenix, beaten by Wath a week earlier, were left to salvage a losing bonus point when lower-placed Thornensians snatched a 15-13 win at Thorne in one of only two matches to be played.

Thorne turned round 12-3 ahead, but Rotherham had eased into a 13-12 lead with a second penalty by Tom Jenkinson, who also converted full-back John Saddington's try.

Then, with three minutes remaining, Oliver Cox slotted over the winning penalty for Thorne, who had scored earlier tries by flanker Adam Lloyd and winger Danny Gilbert, the latter converted by Cox.

Rotherham's bonus point put them up to fifth place ahead of Aireborough, whose scheduled match at home to Goole was called off.

Bramley Phoenix ran in eight tries without reply in a 44-0 home victory over Hessle.
