Scarborough RUFC Girls Under-13s see off Selby RUFC in their first home match of 2022

The hosts started on the front foot, with great running and an off load from Anabelle Drake to pass to debutant Aleisha Owuor to score her first try on her debut.

Selby are a strong team with a lot of good players but Scarborough kept the pressure on with a try from Alice Holden and two further tries from captain Sophie Knaggs.

Selby kept coming back at Scarborough but the hosts’ tackling and defence were strong and held firm.

Both Scarborough and Selby had to endure hail, rain, strong winds and eventually some sun but the hosts adapted to the difficult conditions well with Courtney Byerley scoring a hat- trick of tries and Anabelle Drake scoring a brace.

Scarborough continued to dominate the possession and play in the second half with driving runs from Naomi Cornforth as Scarborough enjoyed their first home victory of 2022 with both teams tiring in the last few minutes.

Scarborough Girls Rugby train on a Monday evening 6.15pm to 7.30pm so if there are any girls that would like to come and try out rugby then please get in touch with Scarborough Rugby on 01723 357740.
