Baildon 14 Yarnbury 3

When you are through to the last 16 of a national competition that started with 413 clubs it is easy to get carried away.

But Baildon's player-coach Hugh Gumbs will have no talk of a Twickenham final yet.

In fact, the only game he is focusing on is not the next round of the EDF Energy Junior Vase on Saturday, February 10 but Saturday's Yorkshire Division Three match at home to Northallerton.

"The players will think Twickenham' but I'm just thinking next game'," admitted Gumbs.

"The next game is the most crucial, which is Northallerton here in the league next Saturday, and the game after that is the next most crucial.

"We have got to keep playing well. There is no point going into the next cup game having forgotten about the league.

"We have got to play well against Northallerton and the second team have got to keep going and put pressure on the first team, and that was the problem at the start of the season - not enough pressure on players.

"Now we have pressure. Everybody wants to be involved and from that the players respond and we get positive results."

That helps to explain why Baildon lost seven of their first nine league matches but have won their last four to climb to eighth in the table.

Of course, Gumbs is chuffed to be through to the sixth round. He said: "It's pleasing for the club to be in the last 16, it's pleasing for those guys who stand and watch us every week, for those who do the kit, for our club doctor Mark Purvis and for those guys who play in the second team.

"We have got our rewards as players on the park but there are a lot of people behind the scenes like our juniors, the women in the kitchen and the guys who sit on the committee who deserve it too and we can take real pleasure out of this victory, and as a club we can go forward.

"Yes, we are climbing the league table too and we feel we are the best team in the division, but the problem is there are so many young players that we need to blood.

"And it is when to play them. We knew we were going to have difficult fixtures away from home and we knew we couldn't keep going on with our merry old army, and we blooded young players like fly half Tom Wilson."

As for the match which pitted eighth-placed Baildon against third-placed Yarnbury in a Yorkshire Division Three derby, Gumbs said: "We knew that it was going to be a tight game because of the weather conditions and we felt if we played strongly uphill in the first half then we could get a lift in the second half.

"If we kept playing strongly then they would find it very difficult to get out of their half and we would win the game, and that is what happened."

Yarnbury's experienced fly half Steve Riley said: "We got turned over too many times and gave Baildon too much possession so the final scoreline was fair."

Yarnbury took the lead with a Riley penalty but Baildon responded with a try by right winger Hayden Lister after a blindside Tom Wilson break. Gumbs added a late drop goal and replacement Alistair Beaumont two penalties.
