STEVE LEWIS is set for a first-team recall for York City Knights after coming through last night’s reserves match against Dewsbury.
Lewis, playing at loose-forward, scored a try in the Knights’ 50-22 Reserve Team Championship defeat to their Dewsbury counterparts.
The 23-year-old, who has made 12 first-team appearances in another injury-hit campaign, can also play in the second-row or in the back line so offers head coach Dave Woods various options.
Other try-scorers for York last night were Wayne Reittie, who was playing at centre, with two, and Joe Stearman, who was playing for the team for the first time this year.
Stearman, 22, the twin of first-team prop Jack, formerly played on the wing but turned out in the second row last night in a young team. Dan Walton also returned for the first time this season after a long injury absence.
Another youngster, Dan Mole, added the conversions, but the Knights, featuring a few other youngsters short of regular match practice, tired to allow the Rams to add a few late points.
