Heath suffered a fourth successive defeat in a disappointing 31-21 defeat away to lowly Selby on Saturday.

Their relegation-threatened hosts were desperate for points and picked up five after scoring two converted tries in the last 10 minutes.

The visitors were without Josh White, Matt Beasty and Mark Sale, all injured in the bruising battle with Bradford and Bingley the previous week, but Ezra Hinchliffe and Sam Pollard returned and Ryan Hunter and Peter Birkett were recalled.

Winger Callum Harriett-Brown was bundled into touch a metre short of the try line on three metres, following Pollard’s clever kick, but the position wasn’t lost.

A clever pass from captain Dom Walsh set up Alex McFadden for the opening try, converted by Ezra Hinchliffe, and Heath had the perfect start.
