York Acorn Rugby League Club under-8s stormed to victory at the Featherstone Lions seven-a-side

tournament when they capped an unbeaten record with a four tries to two win over the hosts in the final.

Acorn triumphed because they remained strong in defence and adventurous in attack.

In a solid team showing, Sam Orange with 13 tries stood out, but every Acorn player - Orange, Callum Hannigan, Ryan Gallacher, Joel Johnson, Adam Hardwick, Gareth Smith, Ben Cowton, Jacob Bustfield, Jack Anderson and Liam Bedford - made magnificent efforts.
