POWER and brute force saw York kick-off their Yorkshire One campaign in style with a convincing 32-7 win over Goole.

Tries from fly-half Carl Paterson, Andy Kay, Rob Kama and Sam Arkle gave the Clifton Parkers a winning start.

And a sparkling debut from Kiwi tight-head prop Cory Wallace suggested York will trouble sides far more in the forwards than in previous years.

Paterson could have got York off to a scoring start after just two minutes, but he pushed a relatively straight forward penalty wide of the right hand post.

He made amends two minutes later when, after taking a hand-off from scrum-half Graeme Smith at the ten-metre line, he jinked and swerved past four despairing Goole defenders to score a sparkling try.

Wallace was also having a major impact - literally. He might only have landed in Britain five days previously, but the ferocity of his tackling made several of his opponents wish he had never arrived.

Too many penalties and inconsistencies in the lineout will have worried York's coaches, and Goole took advantage of the home side's mistakes with their only try on 23 minutes.

York were guilty of ball watching following a knock-on and when Kama spilled a high kick five metres out, he presented Goole flanker Kaywood with an easy five-pointer.

But the visitors found themselves on the back foot again just four minutes later when poor defending allowed York to work through the phases and a spectacular one-armed pass from Kama paved the way for captain Kay to touch down under the posts.

Paterson added a penalty before half-time, but it was a try immediately following the second half kick-off which sealed the game.

Grant Williams took the ball from the drop-out and, following two false starts, it was third time lucky for Kama who followed the passes and darted home to give York a 24-7 lead.

Paterson was dominating picking out runners and controlling possession while Wallace, replaced after an hour, drove back the Goole forwards.

Sam Arkle wrapped up the try scoring when winning a race to the line following more good work from Paterson, before the 10 capped a man-of-the-match display with a penalty four minutes from time.
