TEN-man Oakworth Wasps under-16s suffered a 9-4 defeat at home to Eccleshill Falcons, who overwhelmed them in the first 20 minutes.
Once Wasps regained composure, they stemmed the flow of goals but went in 6-0 down at half-time.
The second half was much better for the hosts, who pulled three goals back. Luke Tsherniga scored a superb effort, Tom Boddy bagged a thunderous left-foot volley and Tscherniga added a second.
However, the visitors added a further three as Wasps tired through a lack of a players. But Wasps had the final word, with Tom Daniel scoring after a good all-round team move.
Match points went to Jake Illingworth for his tireless efforts up front and Tscherniga for his hard work in midfield.
