York RUFC snatch 24-28 victory against local outfit Selby
YORK RUFC snatched victory by 28 points to 24 from valiant Selby with a late try by AJ Peplinski.
In a game that see-sawed back and forth from start to finish, the spectators were entertained with a bruising local derby that made up for the lack of free-flowing rugby that fans may have hoped for with the recent weather, with competitive spirit and sheer effort.
Selby kicked off and were soon over the York whitewash when Parsonage, son of former York wing Mick Parsonage, crossed in almost the first minute after quick reactions at the breakdown secured the ball for Selby to attack around the edges, Parsonage cutting through to score to the left of the posts.
