YORK KNIGHTS 34 ST HELENS 32JACOB KILBRIDE, LNER Community Stadium, SaturdayST HELENS’ play-off hopes took a potentially terminal blow after suffering a first defeat to York since 1946. A routine Jack Welsby grubber was fumbled by Toa Mata’afa, providing Jake Davies with the simplest of finishes. Tristan Sailor wriggled out of an attempted Hunter tackle and released Harry Robertson down the right touchline. First, Paul Vaughan repelled the attention of four tryline defenders to score a try he had no right to, before Nikau Williams dropped on a Hunter bomb as Jacob Douglas failed to deal with the danger. GAMEBREAKER: Not until Tristan Sailor sent wide his touchline conversion in the penultimate minute was this topsy-turvy back-and-forth truly settled.
