Lost a 2 point lead to a last minute try after a succession of about four penalties from the home ref in front of our sticks.

No complaints though and those comments are not sour grapes, intended to diminish York's win or to criticise the ref. Just an explanation of why we've taken such a positive from a defeat.

We've not really got close to York before but gave them a real scare on their own patch last night and we cam away feeling we should have won so onwards and upwards etc!

Gareth's quite right. York are a great side and packed with experienced players and quick young lads. We defended really well and scored some good tries. Looking at how many points York have put past the other teams this stands out as one of our best ever performances. We've certainly played much worse and won in the past.

We thrashed them the first time we played them.

Liam got man of the match.
