Scarborough Ladies Under-12s played their third game of the season at home to Fulford FC.

The Scarborough girls played some fantastic football for only their third outing at the nine-a-side level, and for many of the team the matches are still a very new experience having only joined the club this season.

The Boro team never stopped running and finished the match really strongly.
