NEW Earswick All Blacks ARL Club's winning start to the Yorkshire League senior division season ended as they were beaten at home by Dewsbury Celtic 30-18.

The visitors, coached by former Great Britain scrum-half Deryck Fox, now top the table with three wins from three.

The game was put out of All Blacks' reach just after half-time as two tries took the score to 26-6, though the hosts were to have the last word with a Matt Godfrey try.

Their other touchdowns came from Carl Pallister and man of the match Steve Perks, with 'Scholesy' Sanderson kicking three goals.
