Leeds Carnegie's Tom Rock was part of the Yorkshire side who progressed through to the Bill Beaumont Cup Final on 1st June at Twickenham where they will face Devon.
Devon will make their fifth successive Twickenham final appearance. The County Championship holders came from behind to beat Gloucestershire 10-7 at the Brickfields in Plymouth while Yorkshire overhauled Lancashire on points difference after a 40-22 win in the Roses clash at Harrogate.
Yorkshire needed to beat Lancashire for the first time in four meetings by more than five points to qualify and did so in style.
Otley winger Robin Kitching played a pivotal role with a try, four penalties and three conversions, and Richard Wainwright, Steve Parsons, David McCormack and Dan Hyde added the other tries.
Yorkshire manager Graham Siswick said: "We had a lot of good passages of play between the backs and the forwards, and our lineout was very strong. When Lancashire did score it was mostly against the run of play, and we feel we could have won by more. We're looking forward to the final now."
Devon were stunned by an early try from Gloucestershire number eight Mike Panaho and trailed 7-5 in the second half despite Kyle Marriott's reply.
But former England Under 19 centre Tom Bedford sealed victory when he caught Dan Hawke's crosskick and scored.
