Amelia Dickinson’s strike steers Scarborough Ladies FC Under-12s Reds to win on the road

The visitors soon knew that they were up against a very organised home team.

The game started off very tight and both teams created little for the first 20 minutes but then Layla Horne made a great tackle stopping a Bishopthorpe attack then produced a beautifully weighted pass which put Amelia Dickinson through. The latter took the chance with an excellent shot into the bottom corner of the net.

Bishopthorpe created some dangerous attacks but fine displays from Erin Hirst, Layla Horne and Lilly Brown at the back kept them at bay.

There was a chance for the hosts to equalise late on but a fine stop from goalkeeper Issy Templeman kept Boro’s clean sheet and earned them the win.

Player of the match went to Maddie Dunn who played on the wing and created so many attacks but also chased back constantly helping the defence out.

Scarborough Ladies’ new Under-10 team played their first game against Huntington.

In difficult weather conditions the youngsters performed admirably in their debut game, Girl of the Game going to captain Beatrice Lawson, who led by example throughout. Lots of smiling, muddy faces at the end and they are all looking forward to this weekend’s long trip to Northallerton.

Scarborough Ladies Under-15s put in a defiant display at home to high-flyers Fulford, but ended up losing out 3-0 in a game spoiled by the rain and strong winds at Sherburn.

Kaci Smith was named as girl of the game for Boro.
