NEW-BOY Lee Mapals scored a brilliant hat-trick as another excellent performance brought New Earswick ARLC victory at St Joseph's.

All Blacks, long since promoted from Pennine League division one, completed their away programme in fine fashion with a 46-20 triumph.

St Joseph's opened the scoring with a penalty before Ben Jones put All Blacks ahead by dummying over and adding the first of his seven conversions.

Full-back Mapals then began his super-show by twice racing 50 yards for tries, the second time side-stepping five defenders on the way.

St Joseph's hit back with two tries in two minutes but an inside pass from Jones sent outstanding prop Al Davison crashing over for a 22-12 half-time lead.

All Blacks had Alan Pallister sin-binned for ripping the ball out of the tackle and in the ten minutes he was off, the hosts scored again.

Mapals responded by racing 60 yards to complete his treble but as soon as Pallister returned, Jones went to the sin-bin for back-chat and St Joseph's again took advantage by reducing the deficit to 28-20 with a try.

However, the hosts then had their most influential player sent off for mouthing off and the All Blacks went clear.

Another Mapals break saw Chris Judge score, and the latter turned provided to send away the excellent Dan Wellard, who gave the scoring pass to teenage winger Dean Smith.

Another teenager, prop Jack Stearman, completed the scoring with a 30-yard run to the line.

All Blacks, assured of second place having lost only to champions Halifax Irish, end their campaign at home to third-placed Kippax on Saturday.
