Two from Two for Selby 'A'XV

Bradford and Bingley 2s 12 - 38 Selby 2 XV

Selby 2nd XV travelled to Bradford and Bingley and backed up last week’s good start to the season with a devastating second half performance to make it 2 wins from 2 in the league.
Playing against the wind and up the hill in the first half Selby struggled to get into the game and were lucky to go in at half time only 12 – 7 down with a Miller McKoy try providing the only highlight of the half crashing over from short distance.
The young half backs Andy McLoughlin and Harry Cruise took control in the second half using the conditions well, quickening the tempo and bringing forwards Levitt and Hunt into the game. It was not long before a quickly worked blind side move enabled Loveday to dot down in the corner levelling the scores.
Two tries in quick succession saw no 8 Henry Levitt pick from the scrum and pirouette over the line and a training ground move from the backs put George Stoker in at the corner untouched.
With Selby’s pack now controlling things and good tactical kicking creating pressure, man of the match Cruise dummied his way through the defence to score under the sticks. As Bradford tired skipper Ed Clark found some pace in his aging legs going over for an interception 60 yard solo effort.
Next week Selby welcome Wath from the league above to provide a true yardstick of where this young developing side is.
