In the second half it was all to play for. Whitby’s midfield were making some excellent tackles and Zara Noble was distributing the ball wide to Whitby’s wings.

Durham made another quick counter attack and swarmed Whitby’s ‘D’ where they managed to net a second.

In the second half Whitby’s goalie, Kirsty Dixon, was making some exceptional saves, the highlight being a fantastic slide tackle of Durham’s attack and kicking the ball out of play.

Despite Whitby’s best efforts Durham scraped their third and final goal.
