By half-time, however, Greetland had nosed four points ahead, and another try after the break put match-winning daylight between the sides.

Parry and Liam Hickling - with a terrific run - scored late tries, converted by Hammond but too late to alter the outcome.

Greetland wrapped things up with a try on the whistle.

Wyke under-8s Black and Whites were unlucky not to come away with at least a share of the spoils from their home encounter with Halifax outfit Elland.

Try scorers, in this entertaining game, were MOM Cameron Lewis (2), Jake Rayner (2), Callum Drake, Dylan Firth and Aidan Law.
