It was the visitors who started the game with a wide advantage, putting plenty of pressure on the Malton line in the first 10 minutes.
They were quickly rewarded and were able to add their first three points to the scoreboard after stand-in skipper Jacob Stephenson was called up for a team caution before another offense was punished.
However, it was a necessary wake-up call for Malton and they quickly took matters into their own hands, making pragmatic decisions up front and starting to carve out the Goole defence.
Just two minutes later, Shane Poole skipped over to open the hosts' account, but they were unable to keep their conversion attempt on target in the terrible conditions.
With the wind blowing, the restart was played low and hard, with the players watching as the ball crossed the touchline 25 meters out completely untouched.
From the resulting lineout, Malton picked up where he left off, moving forward a few meters at a time.
However, the second try belonged to Bill Collier, who rebounded from several tackles down the right wing after picking up a loose ball. He then sent the ball back to the left, where he returned to position to receive the pass and run into the corner.
Malton was now firmly in the driver's seat, putting Ghoul under constant pressure. A penalty was almost inevitable, but after much debate, the attempt to take a two-goal lead was thrown into the wind.
However, the visitors had a completely transformed team after the break. Their game plan was put into action as soon as the wind moved them across the field.
To some extent replicating Malton's first-half approach, they got over the hump in phase four, needing just three minutes to even the scores at 10 points apiece.
Malton's Lucas Oxley was given a card for a high tackle in this period, but despite this they continued to attack and attempted the occasional high kick, although it was a bit of a draw at this point due to gusty winds. In fact, two of the kicks missed, resulting in a scrum of the opponent from where the kick left the boot.
However, the hosts finally found a breakthrough in the 65th minute with a penalty that took them under the sticks on the goal line.
It didn't take long for Rob Featherstone to emerge smiling with the ball in hand, converting and Malton dreaming of a try bonus point along with the win.
However, Guhl was not on the verge of being rolled and once again put pressure on Malton.
However, with both teams struggling due to the adverse weather conditions, handling skills were vital and from a technical offside halfway, James Ballmer sent in an inch-perfect kick, sending the forward into the red zone and heading home. I made the throw. line out.
Malton opted for a set-place scrum with Featherstone and Ben Boothman braced for heavy lifting as Goole lost a player to a yellow card in the third reset, with the visiting team giving up back-to-back penalties.
As the referee began to grow impatient, Malton inquired about a penalty try, but they were ignored and the fourth scrum instead ended with a knock forward at the final whistle.
Malton will be hoping to continue his rich form into tomorrow's match against arch-rivals Scarborough.
