Into the second half the weather deteriorated with the wind and rain blowing into the Garforth faces however a strong defence effort kept Northallerton at bay until a converted try was scored mid way through the half.

Garforth's efforts came at a price with Adam Brown and Stu Daly leaving the field after 65 minutes requiring hospital treatment after suffering severe head injuries and they were soon followed by prop Liam Brosnan who also required Hospital treatment for an injured Shoulder.

With much reorganising on the go in the Garforth pack, Northallerton added a 2nd try.

Garforth responded with pressure of their own in the Northallerton half and the referee blew for time to give Garforth victory but with several injuries Garforth must regroup before they visit Old Moderians on April 10.
