“The stand-out player was captain, Matilda Tomlinson.

“Our Scarborough and District Evening League team the ‘Stingrays’ finished top of Division Two and again were undefeated.

“The Stingrays scored an incredible 581 goals between Iliana Legkou and Anna Bowman with fantastic work all over the pitch from Jess Wells, Autumn Head, Abi Bowman, Liv Perrin, Eleanor Lofts, Charlotte Smith, and Amelia Jenkinson.”

The Scarborough Sixth Form College second team also came very close to winning their respective league also.

“Both teams have excelled this year under the coaching of Charlotte Sixsmith and Hayley Watson. The fantastic fitness levels have showed across the four College teams (two evening league) this year.

“Such has been the hunger to play netball from college students, there has seen to be a need to start a third team also that acts as a development squad for the first and second teams.

“This alongside the success of the girls football it has really been a great year for the ladies teams at S6F.
