​Normanton Knights' impressive under 12s players were celebrating on Sunday after winning the BARLA Yorkshire Cup with an outstanding display in a final played at Featherstone Rovers' Millennium Stadium.

​Up against Mirfield ARLFC, the young Knights produced a strong defensive display to keep their line intact throughout.

Some superb tackling was a highlight while the Normanton players also came up with the best attacking moves in the game to run out 16-0 winners and add the county cup trophy to the one already won this year for finishing top of the Yorkshire League with a 100 per cent winning record.
