Selby Warriors ace Wayne Fennell got his point-scoring for York City Knights reserves off the mark last night with a goal on his debut, but the team lost 36-16 to their Oldham counterparts.
Home tries came from Dave Sutton, playing in the second row, Tyler Craig, who was one of York’s better performers on the night playing at stand-off and then loose-forward, and Kris Brining. Craig and Fennell added a goal apiece.
However, lacklustre defending cost the Knights as they generally trailed to the visitors without being able to catch up.
Fennell, playing at hooker then half-back, and Brining impressed with their work-rates, while prop Jack Stearman made a few decent carries on his return from a month out injured.
Ben Harris, the other debutant from Selby Warriors, played the full game at full-back and did okay.
