Pocklington's young guns had too much fire power for Hull Ionians Hawks as they stormed to a 54-5 victory.

Though the young players in Pocklington's line-up, eight of them teenagers, took the plaudits after the interval, it was two of the clubs most experienced players that led the way in the first half.

It was an evenly contested game before the break, with Ionians grabbing an early lead through their big forwards.

But Pock produced some excellent handling skills, and stand-off Mark Taylor accelerated through a gap to send full-back Charlie Allen flying over.

Taylor added two penalties before John Ainslie scattered the visiting forwards to charge clear under the posts for Taylor to convert.

Pocklington deserved their 18-5 interval lead, but few would have predicted the flurry of six top-quality tries in the second period as their teenage backs ran riot.

Seventeen-year-old Allen went over for his second score then his older brother Harry Allen was on the end of a superb 80-yard move.

Gareth Allan finished a carbon copy break from near Pock's own line, before Henry Mitchell broke from halfway and caught his own kick ahead to touch down.

Pock were unstoppable and more splendid handling brought further tries for Mitchell and Harry Allen with Taylor kicking two more conversions and Mitchell one.
