These were followed in close succession by three tries by Mark Dixon as a youthful side appeared to overrun the older veteran side from Fylde.
Sam Bensky and Patrick Townsend replied for the visitors from close in.
Further scores from Yarnbury were inevitable in the second half through Mark Jackson from five metres and Richard Clabby and conversions from Alex Postle (two), Jack Moglia and Alex Crowther.
The hard working Steve Foster in the centre assisted in Yarnbury's las two tries with excellent breaks from midfield and more is expected of this promising junior with the seniors next season.
The game finished with a consolation try for Fylde when Patrick Townsend barged over from close range for the Lancashire team.
Fortunately Yarnbury had achieved an impressive success unlike their illustrious county team who had apparently lost at the death over at Fylde to their counterparts from the Red Rose County!
