Trophy time for Scarborough Ladies FC aces at annual presentation night

The guest speaker, professional player Shameeka Fishley, was in attendance to give her view and advice on her career as it draws to a close, she was also on hand to hand out awards and offer advice to all budding footballers.

Club Chairman Chris McArthur said, “We try and make this a night to remember for all our players, and having Shameeka here to celebrate with us is another added bonus for everyone.

“The 2025-26 season has been hugely successful to have two development teams win York Finals Day Events.

"The Under-13s team developed further ready for next season, the Under-14s were runners-up in a recent tournament, the Under-15s Lionesses won a tournament, Under-15s were runners-up in the league and in the cup, and the U16s won the cup.

"These are all brilliant massive achievements for the girls and club, and hopefully this will continue into the new season. If there are any girls interested in joining us to play or just train please get in touch via the Facebook or website pages.”

The usual games took place between presentations and speeches and photo opportunities with props, and Shameeka were available on the night. All players picked up squad awards trophies.
