Connor scored a try in the first half with a strong run down the middle.
The Braves added two further scores after the break through Tyler and Lewis.

Beverley Braves B v West Hull Tigers
BEVERLEY Braves B took on two West Hull sides in their latest round of matches.
The first game was a tough encounter with West Hull Tigers. A promising start saw the Braves trail just 4-2 at half-time with Marcus Walker barging over from short range for the first try and William Wallis scoring the second.
Playing seven-a-side meant there were lots of open spaces on the pitch and in the second half West's exploited them with some great rugby to run out 8-2 winners, though Beverley kept on trying throughout the game.
Beverley Braves B v. West Hull Panthers
THE second game was much more evenly matched against a West Hull Panthers side who have played a similar amount of matches together to the Braves B squad.
The Braves started well with tries for Harry Matthews and Thomas Cowen.
Strong defense, notably from Nathan Rowbottom and Ryan Deane built the foundation for further tries from Harry, William and Thomas, as the Braves ran out 5-2 winners in an entertaining match.
