York Knights Secure Semi-Final Spot with Dominant Win Over Widnes

York Knights powered their way into the semi-finals with a commanding 27-10 victory over Widnes at the LNER Community Stadium. In a game that saw moments of brilliance, the Knights delivered a superb second-half performance, ensuring their place in the next round of the play-offs.

The first half was a hard-fought contest, with both teams evenly matched. York and Widnes headed into the sheds level at 10-10, but it was clear that the Knights had more in the tank for the final forty minutes.

York took complete control after the break, posting 17 unanswered points to seal a convincing win. A brace of tries from man of the match Tom Lineham highlighted a gritty and well-coordinated team effort, which saw York dominate both in attack and defence.

The win marks another step forward for the Knights as they edge closer to play-off glory, with a semi-final berth now confirmed. The city of York can look forward to another thrilling encounter as the Knights continue their quest for silverware.
