Selby 2nd XV 5 Keighley 2nd 64 - Keighley scored 10 tries - seven converted - as they secured an emphatic victory against Selby who had only suffered one other defeat.

The first ten minutes gave no indication of how the game would turn out, with both sides competing on an equal footing. WSelby looked the more dangerous especially on the right wing where they had extreme pace and only resolute tackling stopped them scoring.

Keighley's right wing also had the pace and guile in the form of first team scrum half Scott Amos who opened up the flood gates with an astute chip and chase, only to be taken out off the ball as he was about to score. The referee had no hesitation in awarding a penalty try and Richard Cavender had no problem adding the extra points.

John Hinchliffe scored next when he intercepted a pass and raced 40 yards to score under the posts. Again Cavender added the goal.

It was all Keighley now with their forwards winning the ball in the loose. Brady Godfrey and Cavender were moving the ball out wide and the slick handling and strong running by all the backs gave Hinchliffe and Amos further tries.

A break by Warren Knowles from fullback set the ball off down the left and John Finn ran in a good try. The final try of the half came from Mark Lister whose strength and direct running was too much for the Selby. With forty points on the board at half time Keighley were looking forward to the second half.

Selby marshalled their forces at half time and started with spirit. It took Keighley ten minutes to take a strangle hold of the game with forwards Bob Clarke, Stuart Inman and John Gibson putting in some driving runs. The forward play gave the backs chance to show their skills with Hinchliffe running in two more tries. John Finn scored his second try after a well timed pass by Knowles.

Lister had to leave the field with an arm injury and Harrison moved into the forwards. James Tillotson, another of the up and coming Colts, moved on to the right wing and darted over for his debut try in the corner.
