Andy Knight Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Going to need a massive second half defensive effort. Batley are so well drilled at playing the pitch and conditions. Decent first 40 from us but this is going to go to the wire. One score in it either way.

Andy Knight Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Wasn’t pretty but what a superb team performance. Not many will come away with two points from Batley. Immense defensive stint at times. Great day out in the rain but boy was it worth it. Well done to James and all the back room staff but most of all to all 17 player who were magnificent. One of the best knights wins in many many years. "Don't Waste Words, Jump to Conclusions" Millican Dalton...1867-1947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Knight Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Unbelievable win. I am seeing signs of the Knights of 3 seasons ago, which was based on never say die attitude and amazing defence. Brett Delaney seems to be working his magic. Only one try and one goal conceded in the last two games. Beer and York Knights. Proof the God loves us and wants us to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarence Street Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Many many thanks to Fordy and the boys for today. Absolutely superb!! What a fantastic team performance!!

HaxbyKnight Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Terrific win, its a long time since I've seen a game played in a mudbath like that. It was almost impossible to tell who was playing for who at the end. Having said that the players of both sides deserve great credit for the excitement they served up. The Knights defence was truly awesome this afternoon, and they probably just about deserved the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a forward pass score and a roll over try held-up not given and I was surprised your guy didn't get 10 mins for the high shot on Hooley.

Nearenough Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 brilliant stuff, a hard working grafting performance that each and every lad in a muddy york shirt can be well proud of tonight. everyone really put a shift in on a sodden pitch thanks to the awful weather, we used brains and brawn. i thought harrison and brown had brilliant matches. and Fordys quote "thats how teams are born" is spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyacko Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 I didnt think we could win up that hill with a 6-0 lead at the break. What commitment, what determination to come home with the win. How anyone can pick an MOM I dont know. Harrison, Brown, Oaksey, Ellis, Michael, Jubby, Sammy Davis, Ronan and the back row three, Clarky, Kirmo and Tommo could all have won it and the rest were right on their heels. What a pass from PP to get Oaksey in! And the reaction of the lads - everyone ran and hugged him. The smile on Jamie Ellis' face at the hooter said it all. Love the club I support (Oops, sorry I'm impartial!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenton Knight Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I don’t know how long it has been since we won at Mount Pleasant but it was long overdue. Batley seemed to have the edge at the half way mark, holding us to a narrow 6 point deficit, knowing they would be running down the hill (at us) after the break. On top of that, only two weeks ago, Batley had overturned a 6-16 halftime deficit against Halifax playing down the slope in the second half to run out winners by 30-18. But superb defence and a well worked try by Will Oakes thanks to a bit of Pauli magic proved to be the difference. Well done to Fordy and the lads. This was one hell of a win.
