Scarborough Ladies Under-15s opened up their City of York Girls Football League account with a 3-1 win at Holme Rovers.
Boro started strongly with the new signings Molly Skelton and Maizie Walker impressing down the left and right flanks. After 15 minutes of constant pressure, Isla Jones let fly from 25 yards and put the ball over the keeper into the top corner.
The visitors took their foot off the gas a little and allowed Holme back into the game and they levelled with a free-kick.

The second half started much the same as the first, as Holme's keeper was kept busy, but stood firm. Backed up by her defense, it looked as though the game was heading for a draw.
That was until the 76th minute when Pippa Wedge played a superb through-ball for Skelton to run on to and slot past the keeper into the bottom corner.
This was soon followed by a third, Jones played a neat through- ball through the defenders legs for Skelton to score again, slotting through the keeper’s legs into the net.
A great performance from the Scarborough girls.
Girl of the game could have been awarded to a number of the team, but the manager decided that Skelton should get it for her constant attacking threat and two superb goals.
