Battling Scarborough Ladies Under-13s beaten by Brayton

Without their goalkeeper or any substitutes, the hosts were always up against it against a much stronger and experienced Brayton, who led 6-0 at the break despite Boro going close on several occasions.

After the interval, Brayton continued to fire in the goals, but the last 20 minutes of the match saw a visibly tired Boro side pull a goal back through Ruby Carney after a superb run from Ellie-Mae Bloomfield.

Striker Bloomfield then got on the scoresheet herself with a neat turn followed by a strong run and powerful shot as the game ended 10-2.

Boss Andy Hutchings said: “Ava Hutchings got the player of the match award.

“We started off well, playing in triangles with good passing, there were half-a-dozen solo driving runs from Ellie-Mae Bloomfield, who formed a good strike pairing with Kaci Smith.

“We got caught on the break too often and the scoreline flattered the opposing team but it was a good all-round effort without any subs.”

Scarborough Ladies Under-14s came out 3-1 winners against Poppleton in a fantastic advert for girls football.

Scarborough started well and showed no signs of rustiness from the lockdown break, immediately pinning the Poppleton team in their own half, forcing some desperate defending and excellent saves to keep the score level in what was one-way traffic.

Boro eventually took a deserved lead midway through the first half with a great goal from striker Kelsie McGough, who shot from the edge of the box after a well-worked corner.

Scarborough scored again just before half-time with a fine team goal.

Phoebe Philps won the ball in midfield, feeding a pass to striker Lucy Fairbank, who beat her marker and whipped in a pin-point cross to Sarah Brennan, whose first-time touch took her past the away defence before she coolly slotted into the bottom corner.

The second half continued with Scarborough on top, but Poppleton pulled a goal back with a long-range effort after a rare venture into the Scarborough half to make the score 2-1.

Scarborough nerves remained calm with the home team continuing to create chances, one of which was taken by McGough for her second of the match, making the final score 3-1.

Every single Scarborough player put in a fantastic performance, displaying pride, determination and teamwork beyond their years.

Special praise goes to player of the match Amelia Breckon along with Lucy Fairbank, Lexie Daubney, Sarah Brennan and Sophie Smith, who were all outstanding throughout.

Scarborough Ladies Reds Under-11s played their first ever game against a very strong and well-organised York RI team.

The Reds found themselves up against it most of the match, but some superb defending by Phoebe Ryan and goalkeeping by Bella Shaw kept the visitors at bay.

The trio in midfield of Bryony Jones, Daisy Jones and Anya Joy put in a tireless shift with Joy never shy of putting in solid tackles and both Jones’ playing some neat passing football.

In the second half the Reds started brightly and Joy won the ball in her own half and then fired a superb ball through for Alicia Leake, who came narrowly close to getting the Reds first ever goal as she just fired wide.

It was a tough call to name girl of the match as Daisy Jones was tireless in midfield and passed the ball well to her team mates, but Phoebe Ryan just edged it with an immense performance in defence, leading by example from the back.
