Pacesetters Scarborough Ladies FC Under-14s storm to derby success at Brooklyn


The Boro girls took control of the match from minute one and created a number of chances in the early exchanges but couldn’t find the target.
Mia Morris finally broke the deadlock, breaking free of the defence and firing past the keeper and the lead was doubled when Chloe McArthur picked up the ball out wide then cut inside and placed her shot from distance beyond the goalkeeper and into the far corner of the net.

For all the dominance the score remained 2-0 at the half-time interval.
Again in the second half it was all mainly one-way traffic with Boro pushing for more goals and the third goal came when Morris broke down the right wing and pulled a cross back to the edge of the area to find Sophie Overfield free, and she lashed the ball home past the Brooklyn keeper.
The goals kept coming for Boro when midfielder Isla Williams got on the scoresheet, firing home after a rebound in the area.
