Not Yarm's day

There was not too much concern at Yarm even though Prince Henry's, Otleyled 7-0 at half time after Liam Duffy converted a try from winger LeonClarke.

Yarm's forwards stepped up and produced a try for Daley convertedby Twizell.

But Prince Henry's responded immediately with great play byfull back Niki Smith which produced a try for outside centre Kevin Freeman.Duffy converted to make it 14-7.

Yarm's excellent pack enabled the homeside to level the scores and then the sides swopped penalties.

With allthings being equal at 17-17, Prince Henry's were heading through on theaway rule and they breathed a sigh of relief as Yarm missed a penalty withthe last kick of the game.

Prince Henry's reward is a home tie with QEGS,Wakefield.

No such palpitations for Barnard Castle, who had too much powerand pace for Ripon Grammar and won 74-0 away.

There were two tries apiecefor Lee Dickson, Hamor, and Ed Williamson.

Barnard Castle, who produced RobAndrew and the Underwood brothers, head for an October 31 date with Durham,last season's beaten finalists and whom they have beaten already thisseason.
