Yorkshire Division 3 Sheffield Medicals 0 : 26 Skipton by Simon Smith

Skipton made it three bonus point wins on the trot at Sheffield University's Norton Playing Fields.

Skipton made the better start to the game and, after 10 minutes, No. 8 Joe Hayes powered over from a short tap penalty five metres out from scrum-half Michael Tam. The conversion attempt fell short.

Skipton maintained the pressure and a mid-field break by centre Anthony Chapman found forward Joe Moorhouse in support and he went over for the try. Centre Callum Patrick added the extra points.

Further forward dominance before half-time saw second-row Brad Nicholson score another from some tidy pod work. Winger Jonny Tomes-Green added the extra points to give Skipton a 19 nil lead at the break.

A second-half try from back-row Ed Harrison secured the bonus league point. Tomes-Green added the extras to give a final score of 26-0 in Skipton's favour.

Skipton had further positives to reflect upon, with new signing Thomas Hopper coming off the bench into the centre and Reuben Johnson became the 7th of last season's Colts side to make their 1st XV debut, putting in a tenacious, impact performance on the wing.

Skipton continue their Yorkshire 3 campaign next Saturday away at Thirsk.
