Scarborough RUFC Girls Under-13s defeat Morpeth at Silver Royd

Morpeth Girls Rugby were a strong team with good runners but Scarborough U13s took the game to Morpeth from the start with strong running from Esther Wallace and quick, darting runs from Alice Holden.

Morpeth came back on the attack but could not find any space due to great tackling from Courtney Byerley and Naomi Cornforth.

Scarborough were competing at every breakdown and started to draw away a strong lead through tries from Izzy Parkins, Aleisha Owuor, Sophie Knaggs and Anabelle Drake.

Scarborough continued to dominate the game with a good handling and passing from Megan Orrells on her debut.

Scarborough kept moving the ball into space through good decision making of passing along the line and probing runs.

A well deserved, hard fought victory for Scarborough.
