Mayfield welcome first win at Myton

- MYTON WARRIORS.22 MAYFIELD ................. 44 SIMON HOWE

MAYFIELD travelled to Hull on Saturday and returned with a much needed win and their first league points of the season.

In doing so they showed some of the sparkling attacking play that has been a trademark of the last few, very successful, seasons.

Coach Matt Calland was forced to implement wholesale changes to the team due to injuries and other commitment­s and gave first team debuts to Christian Avis, Jackson Kelly and Joe Muir whilst Lewis Butterwort­h, Sam Butterwort­h and Callum Ogden made their first appearance of the season.

The new players showed the necessary passion and commitment to race into a 32-0 lead that effectivel­y had the game won at halftime.

Liam Whalley scored with the first play of the game, and tries from Paul Brearley (15mins), Callum Marriott (18mins), Sam Butterwort­h (21 mins), Cole Connolly (25 mins) and Aidy Gleeson (28 mins) followed as Mayfield ripped holes in the home defence time and time again.

Aidy Gleeson added four conversion­s for a commanding 32-0 half time lead.

The second half started much the same as Christian Avis sped in for a great try and 36-0 lead.

Myton hit back to score four tries as Mayfield relaxed, but Keiran Harmer (60 mins) and Cole Connolly (79 mins) scored for Mayfield to seal a creditable 22-44 away win that showed Mayfield can play some great attacking rugby and have strength in depth in the squad.

Lewis Butterwort­h. Christain Avis, Jackson Kelly, Matt Calland, Kieran Harmer. Paul Brearley, Sam Butterwort­h. Nick Hargreaves, Callum Ogden, Aidy Gleeson, Liam Whalley, Callum Marriott, Jake Boardman. Cole Connolly, Andy Taylor, Joe Muir, Macauley Donnelly.
