York come from behind in horrendous conditions to win in North Yorkshire Cup. Words by Dan Russell & Photos by Ian Coe.

Air temperature of 2c...
Wind chill of -10....
Driving, incessant, icy rain....
18-5 down at half time....
Players having to be carried from the field with hypothermia...
Wetherby 1st team calling their game off, half way through due to the nastiest, most brutal and miserable conditions ever for a game of rugby....
Cold induced Tourette's taking over the brain...
But the North Yorkshire Cup is staying with us.....
18-26 at full time....

Photos despite the freezing rain causing the camera flash to fail and eventually my fingers as well.....they do however sum up the dreadful playing conditions.....
