IN one of only three Yorkshire One games to beat the freeze hosts Selby RUFC fended off the challenge of Bridlington for a valuable conquest.
The hosts held sway over their east coast rivals for a precious 22-10 win.
The success lifted the Swans no fewer than three places in the rankings to seventh spot going above York.
Elsewhere in the county’s top-flight, leaders Malton & Norton were frozen out of action for a second week running when the visit of Heath to a snow-covered Gannock was called off.
York’s trip to second-placed Sheffield was also a casualty of the wintry snap.
Pocklington’s Yorkshire Two game at home to Yarnbury, the Yorkshire Three match-up between York Railway Institute and visitors Wath-upon-Dearne, plus Nestlé Rowntree’s Yorkshire Five game at Wetherby all failed to beat the cold weather.
The dearth of action was even deeper in the 13-a-side code.
All the area’s rugby league fixtures were lost to the wintry conditions.
