It might only have been a pre-season friendly, but it was a significant result for the Dore Moor side against a team who will be playing in National Division Three North.

Dinnington's superior forward power in their friendly at Yorkshire Division One side Sandal came to nothing when a home prop was injured and the rest of the game was played with uncontested scrums.

Sandal had the edge in the backs and ran out 19-5 winners.

Doncaster Knights went down 31-10 in their warm-up match against Leeds Carnegie at Headingley..

RESULTS: Rotherham Titans 7 Glasgow Warriors 22, Leeds Carnegie 31 Doncaster Knights 10, Beverley 19 Sheffield Tigers 24, Adwick le Street 7 Hornsea 24, Doncaster Phoenix 7 Wheatley Hills 14, Sandal 19 Dinnington 5, Wheatley Hills XV 12 Rossington Hornets 12.
