Aireborough put up a creditable performance against first tam opposition. Their points came from a penalty from winger Steve Harris and a good try from debutante centre Les Smith.
Stand-off Jack Osborne worked hard at releasing his backs at every opportunity but a general lack of quality possession restricted his options. No doubt the players will benefit from this experience against senior opposition.
