New Earswick All Blacks Amateur Rugby League Club's Under-13s have acquired the nick-name the Dirty Dozen following a fine victory in muddy conditions at Garforth, despite being a man short.

The All Blacks had a depleted side of 12 due to a sickness bug hitting the squad but still won 32-4.

Daryl Fogg and Joe Hemmings were excellent in the forwards, while backs Jack Hunt and Tom Hodgson pulled off a number of try-saving tackles, with the hosts only scoring a consolation try in the last two minutes.

By then, Jack Billit had stormed over for a first-half hat-trick with Jason Lofthouse also scoring before the break. Ross Divorty notched a brace and Danny Pfluger one in the second half, the latter also kicking two goals.
