Pocklington's attacking prowess and defensive discipline shone as they ran in eight quality tries to beat Heath 48-10 in Yorkshire Two.

Struggling Heath took the lead with a fifth minute penalty, but Pocklington got their act together and scrum-half Sam Rees ran in a hat-trick of tries in the next 15 minutes - all of them coming as the Wales Student cap added a quality finish to his team's good approach play.

With strong-running winger Tim Nixon and industrious flanker Steve Wilcock also touching down, plus teenage wing Nick Bennett adding two conversions, Pocklington were out of sight at 29-3 at the interval.

They occasionally illuminated a scrappy second half with some top-notch handling but the last pass invariably went to ground with the line begging, until Nixon powered over for his second score.

Pocklington let Heath in for a converted try, but hit back with two more scores in the closing minutes. Teenager Sam Butcher sliced through from fullback and Nixon crashed over to complete his hat-trick, with Bennett adding both conversions to complete the rout.
