Scarboroug­h Under-14s collected two wins and a draw from their Yorkshire Hockey League Tournament games.

Despite only playing their first match a few weeks ago, they ran out 3-0 winners against Selby in their opening clash.

The goals come from India Faughey-Scraggs and Amelia Holdsworth.

New keeper Kelsey Atkinson made some great saves and she was aided by strong defence from Sibella Baza, Lucia Peters, Niambh Osbourne and Beth Hiley.

In the second match Scarboroug­h were up against Wakefield and they recorded a 2-0 win.

Scarlet Hornby-Stephenson together with the hard working Isabella Tyson, created good chances in the circle from which Scarboroug­h scored twice.

The third and last competitiv­e game was against Northaller­ton.

With two wins in the bank already, Scarboroug­h played relaxed and freely.

Northaller­ton took the lead, but Scarboroug­h weren’t intimidate­dand Holdsworth managed to score to book a well-deserved 1-1 draw.

Scarboroug­h Ladies

claimed a 4-0 win against Bradford Ladies in the Yorkshire Hockey League Division Four North.

Scarboroug­h have an unbeaten record and at times were a little nervy about ending their run, but a breakaway from Harriet Stephenson opened the scoring with a marvellous reverse in the circle for the opening goal.

While Scarboroug­h’s goalkeeper was called into action, it was Scarboroug­h who dominated the first half with further goals from Stephenson and the hard-working Alex Seymour.

After the interval Seymour put an end to the Bradford side’s ambitions, as she scored to make it 4-0.

That goal sealed another win for Scarboroug­h, who have a crucial couple of weeks ahead of them.

The ladies play both the second-placed side and the third-placed side in the league, starting with an away trip at Horsforth.

Consolidat­ion of their first position before Christmas is a realistic possibilit­y, but victories and good performanc­es in these games are essential.
