In the second half Boro started much more brightly with midfielders Sophie Overfield and girl of the match Sophie Grey both shining.

The latter was in unstoppable form, constantly picking up the ball from deep in her own half and bursting down the right wing setting up numerous counter attacks.

And it paid dividends with Grey setting up Grayshan who took her chance superbly to net the only goal of the game.

Matilda Jordan also stood out for her tireless work in centre midfield, and Molly Lassey, Hayley Brennan and Martha Stockill for their superb defending and a well deserved clean sheet.
