Last time out Rovers were convincing winners so Boro went into the game ready for the challenge and looking for the three points.

Scarborough started the game the stronger of the two teams, playing some neat football, and it didn't take long for a superb strike from Pippa Wedge to open the scoring.

Sienna Williams then opened her scoring campaign with another fantastic strike from outside the box making it 2-0 to Boro at half-time.

Scarborough Ladies Under-18s romped to a 10-2 win against Ripon at the Flamingo Land Stadium to boost their title push.

Boro dominated from the start and Lucy Fairbank opened the score after three minutes after Lucy Webster released her down the right hand side, Fairbank cut in to the edge of the box and beat the keeper with a good strike.

Jorji Crawford pressurised the Ripon defence winning back a left sided throw in, passing the ball into the middle of the area for Lucy Webster to strike goal after 12 minutes.

On 22 minutes Lucy Fairbank made a strong solo run from halfway making it 3 for Scarborough Ladies.

A right-sided corner was half cleared only for Lucy Tighe to fire it into the net after 25 minutes and a break in the 43rd minute saw Fairbank get her first-half hat-trick.

Brilliant teamwork and link play in the 46th minute saw Phoebe Philps pass to Amelia Breckon clear on the right, a perfect cross to Webster who scored with a well-taken volley.

A long ball chased by Ripon gave them a goal after 49 minutes but Scarborough scored again in the 51st when Breckon fired a beautifully taken shot at the edge of the box the ball just kissing the underneath of the crossbar.

Another Breckon goal in the 57th minute came after a cross from Crawford.

A left-sided corner four minutes later had Tighe stooping down to her knees to head the ball in and a lovely strike from Philps in the 65th minute saw the hosts make it into double figures.

Positional changes to alter play were made and Ripon scored a second in the 87th minute.

It proved to be a very difficult decision for Player of the Match as they all played magnificently, but Breckon just edged it.

Boro Under-18s have two league games left, away to Poppleton this coming Saturday, and then at home to the same time on Saturday April 13, and wins in both would earn them the title.
