Oli Field's double for York Knights was his first of the season [SWPIX.COM]
Betfred Super League
York (16) 34
Tries: Bennison, Field 2, Balmforth, Vaughan, Williams Goals: Bennison 5
St Helens (16) 32
Tries: Davies, Wright, Welsby 2, Robertson, Douglas Goals: Hastings 4
York Knights piled more misery on ailing St Helens with their first win over them in 80 years.
The teams went in level at 16-16 at the break with Jon Bennison, Oli Field and Denive Balmforth going over for the home side and Jake Davies, Shane Wright and Jack Welsby scoring tries for Saints.
Despite being a man down when Ata Hingano was sin-binned York went in front when veteran Paul Vaughan showed real grit to get the ball down and then Nikau Williams got over after the visitors failed to deal with a kick.
Welsby's superb second gave Saints hope but Field went in with eight minutes to go for his second and although late tries from Harry Robertson and Jacob Douglas set up a tense finish York held out.
Ragged Saints, who are under the interim charge of Eamon O'Carroll for the rest of the season after Paul Rowley's exit last week, have now lost eight of their past 12 matches.
The 10-time Super League winners remain in seventh place and are in real jeopardy of missing out on the play-offs for the first time.
