Just before half-time Sophie McArthur showed some individual brilliance on the left wing, cutting inside two defenders and curling an unstoppable shot into the top corner.

The confidence brought on by the goal was short-lived as a Woodkirk midfielder won the ball just inside the Scarborough half, broke forward and slotted home.

Scarborough continued to press forward and continued to dominate and with 10 minutes remaining Amy Marrass broke down the right and smashed a shot into the roof of the net from a tight angle.

The onslaught on the Woodkirk goal continued, but Scarborough couldn’t manage to get the deserved equaliser.

Scarborough Ladies Under-12s hosted Linthorpe Accies Under-12s in the Teesside Junior Football Alliance on Saturday and ran out comfortable 13-1 winners.

Captain Jemima Chapman excelled in midfield, while Emilie Watson caught the eye with her approach play.

Gracie McGloughlin and Alesha Grime led the scoring with five apiece, which were added to with strikes from Rebecca Addison, Brooke Southern and Lauren Monkman.

Defender Neve Hutchings put in an outstanding performance to be named girl of the match, with midfielders Morgan and Ruby Carney also impressing.

Captain Ellie Pateman scored her first goal of the campaign to cancel out an early opener by the hosts, and the in-form Beth Barnes smashed in a second midway through the second half to give the Boro girls the lead.

However, defensive hesitancy led to a Leeds equaliser on 75 minutes, and a hard earned point was snatched from the visitors with the very last kick of the game, as the hosts stole an undeserved 3-2 win.
