A beautiful sunlight spring evening heralded the arrival of everyone’s favourite competition the Aire/Wharfe Cup
This first round stage saw the third team play host to North Ribblesdale seconds.
Playing up the hill with a strong wind in their backs the greens quickly took control and took an early penalty to calm the nerves.
The score by halftime was 27-3 and The Greens were not going to trouble the scorer again.
The second half was played with the same vigour and exuberance with exchanges probing each others halves.
Persistent pressure from Ribb saw them score a converted try taking the final score to 27-10 . Wharfedale’s total included 3 tries, 3 conversions and 2 penalties.
Wharfedale have been rewarded with another home fixture against Ilkley 2s. Date TBC.
