Scarborough forward Isla Jones kept the pressure on and netted a superb effort making it 2-1 to Scarborough just after the half-time break.

Pippa Wedge on the wing found bags of space, and carried the ball down the line crossed it it ran across the face of goal for the impressive Wood to put it away after wrongfooting the defender and goalkeeper.

Scarborough Ladies Under-11s entertained a strong York RI team at a blustery Sherburn, having not played for six weeks.

Scarborough didn’t look like they had had such a long break starting very brightly with some probing attacks from midfield with the central midfield partnership of Matilda Jordan and Sophie Overfield causing all sorts of problems to the visitors with their fast-paced breaks towards goal.

Scarborough were unlucky not to go ahead halfway through the first half with lively forward Millie Spivey hitting the post and Sophie Overfield narrowly missing from close range.

Scarborough continued to create a number of chances with Matilda Jordan finally breaking the deadlock with a neat finish to put the home side 1-0 up.

Defender Martha Stockill produced an outstanding first-half display snuffing out any attacks from York and her accurate, clever passing put Boro on the front foot on a number of occasions.

The second half was a different story with the visitors going all out to try and pull a goal back pinning Boro back in their own half and creating a number of chances.

The scoreline could have been much different had it not been for some resolute defending by Lilly Brown and Isabelle Smith and some incredible saves by the unbeatable keeper Layla Horne.

Elle Abell took a lot of pressure off Boro at times with her tireless running to get the ball back and take the ball forward to safety and girl of the match Matilda Jordan made some crucial interceptions in midfield to keep the visitors at bay.
